Ning Zhiheng then asked, "You said he has a few good friends?"
Zhao Jiang nodded and replied, "After some investigation, there are three: He Zhi, a colleague from the accounting office; Wang Junbi from the telecommunications department; and Yan Yichun, an intelligence officer from the intelligence department! They are usually quite close to Li Wenlin!"
"Have you investigated the whereabouts of the three of them last night?" Ning Zhiheng asked.
Zhao Jiang replied, "I have investigated them all. I questioned them, and they were very cooperative. They did not show any suspicious signs."
Even Major Yan Yichun, the intelligence officer from the intelligence section, had a good attitude after I provided the investigation certificate, and the investigation proceeded smoothly.
He Zhi from the accounting office is the one I just mentioned. He was with Li Wenlin all yesterday, one of those three colleagues. He stayed home all night and has proof of his family's support.
Wang Junbi from the Telecommunications Department did not go home last night. He said he went to a woman he was seeing for the night. I have sent someone to verify this, and we will get back to him soon.
Yan Yichun from the intelligence section said he was home all night, but since he's single, no one can verify that. That's the situation!
Ning Zhiheng nodded and waved his hand, saying, "I understand. Go and continue your investigation. Report back to me as soon as you have any results!"
Just as Zhao Jiang was about to accept the order and leave, the phone on the table rang. Ning Zhiheng reached out and picked up the phone.
"Team leader, we checked more than ten restaurants nearby, but they all said that no one saw Li Wenlin last night!" Nie Tianming's voice came from the phone.
Ning Zhiheng frowned and asked again to confirm, "Have you checked everything carefully? Are there any people you've missed?"
“We’ve checked all the restaurant owners and staff, we were almost ready to use guns, and no one has seen Li Wenlin!” Nie Tianming confirmed again.
"Alright, let's call it a day!" Ning Zhiheng hung up the phone, quite disappointed.
The investigation into the restaurant yielded no results. It seems that Li Wenlin did not drink at a restaurant yesterday. So where could it have been?
It must be in a private residence, that's it! It must be!
Li Wenlin has very simple interpersonal relationships and doesn't have many friends outside of the Military Intelligence Department. So what kind of people would he eat and drink with until late at night?
It could only be his close friends! And these three friends who were close to him all said during the investigation that they did not drink with Li Wenlin yesterday, which means that someone lied, and the person who lied is the murderer who killed Li Wenlin.
However, of his three friends last night, He Zhi from the accounting office was at home and had family members to vouch for him. Generally speaking, in this situation, it is unlikely that he would collude with his family members, but we cannot let him off easily. We still need to verify the family members' testimonies again.
Ning Zhiheng is a suspicious person who has always been skeptical of everything, making it very difficult for him to trust anyone.
Another one is Wang Junbi from the Telecommunications Department. His whereabouts also need to be verified, and his lover needs to be found to confirm whether he was lying or not.
As for Yan Yichun, the intelligence officer of the intelligence department, he was alone at home, and no one could prove his whereabouts last night. He was also quite suspicious and needed to be investigated carefully. He should not be let go easily!
Thinking of this, he looked up at Zhao Jiang, who was about to leave the office, and asked, "Have you investigated the addresses of all three of them?"
Zhao Jiang, who was about to leave, was taken aback by Ning Zhiheng's sudden question, but he quickly recovered and hurriedly said, "It was investigated, and it's all recorded in the investigation materials!"
Ning Zhiheng then remembered the investigation materials on the table. He quickly picked them up and carefully reviewed them, soon finding the addresses of the three people.
He nodded to himself. Zhao Jiang's abilities were average, but he had one strength: he never compromised on his own orders and carried them out very thoroughly. The investigation materials he had gathered were very detailed.
He got up and went to the wall on the right. There was a map of Nanjing city on the wall. He found all three addresses on the map and found that the distance between He Zhi and Wang Junbi's home and Li Wenlin's home was far. Only Yan Yichun from the intelligence department was less than a kilometer away from Li Wenlin's home, which was about a ten-minute walk!
He already had a vague feeling that he had found his target, but the matter was of great importance, especially since this Yan Yichun was a major intelligence officer in the intelligence department, whose identity was not ordinary.
The intelligence section was the chief's carefully cultivated elite force, and he had managed the entire intelligence section as if it were an ironclad unit. Every intelligence officer had undergone rigorous investigation, and there could be no question about their identity or background.
If Ning Zhiheng were to rashly take action against Yan Yichun now, and something went wrong, even with his current status, he would likely be in a difficult situation and would offend that old fox Gu Zhengqi. It would be a complete loss!
Therefore, he couldn't jump to conclusions; he had to thoroughly investigate the situation. With that in mind, he said to Zhao Jiang, "You should continue your investigation and report back to me as soon as you have any findings!"
Zhao Jiang, who had been waiting for his orders, nodded and left.
Ning Zhiheng then took off his military uniform, found a set of civilian clothes in his locker and changed into them, before quickly leaving the Military Intelligence Investigation Department.
He first arrived at the crime scene, and then began walking towards Yan Yichun's home. He walked along the main road for about ten minutes and arrived outside a residence.
Seeing the house number in front of the house, he knew this was Yan Yichun's home. He turned around and looked back at the road he had come from. Sure enough, the direction was correct. This was the shortest route from here to Li Wenlin's house, without taking any detours.
It is insufficient to conclude that Li Wenlin drank at Yan Yichun's house last night simply because Yan Yichun's house is the closest to Li Wenlin's house.
