In fact, as early as after Zhu Weidong got into trouble, the Zhu family had already begun to arrange people to investigate. Xiao Li was Zhu Weidong's assistant. He has never returned since Zhu Weidong got into trouble. Some people privately said that he was settled down.

Some people also said that Zhu Weidong’s accident was closely related to Xiao Li.

Anyway, all kinds of rumors were spread, and they even became more and more intense, but the authorities showed no intention of stopping them. After a long time, some people with better brains tasted something different.

Sure enough, within less than a month, people on the construction site were called in for talks one after another. They were from the bureau and the public security bureau. After the talks, they were told not to tell outsiders what they talked about.

After being warned, who would dare to tell anyone?

For a moment, people were in panic.

The private discussions about Zhu Weidong suddenly stopped.

When Lian Qizhen was called over, she felt cold all over. When she entered the leader's office and saw the person sitting inside, she hesitated for a moment.

She thought she had concealed it well, but one of the men still saw it. Coincidentally, the man was Rong Junjie.

He came here on a business trip and met a friend who was from the Public Security Bureau in the capital. He heard that the person in the accident was Zhu Weidong, so he followed him here after finishing his business here.

He shouldn't have shown up at an occasion like today, but when he was about to get up, someone had already come in. He could tell at a glance that the woman seemed very scared, although she concealed it well.

"Hello, we asked you to come here just to do some investigation. Could you please tell us what you were doing on the night when Comrade Zhu Weidong got into trouble? Is there anyone around you who can testify?"

The leader of the bureau also spoke up, "Engineer Lian, don't be nervous, these are just normal questions."

Lian Qizhen smiled bitterly, "Director Wang, it was too late that night, everyone went to bed early, and I was just beside my assistant."

"Your assistant's last name is Mo, right?" the police officer asked, then flipped out a few more pieces of paper. "Mo Xiaoxiao?"

"It's her."

"You said you went straight to bed that night. Can she testify to that?"

Lian Qizhen hesitated for a moment, "I stayed up all night that night and fell asleep when I came back. She should be able to testify for you."

"But just now you said you went straight to bed, and didn't mention waking up at night."

Faced with Duoduo's questioning, Lian Qizhen blushed, "I don't think there's any need to say anything special about getting up at night."

"Any small thing could be a clue. What time do you get up at night? Is there anything special around you?"

"I forgot what time it was. After receiving the notice to rest at the spot, everyone went to relieve themselves. I saw that there were fewer people, so I went over and came back after relieving myself."

"Is it because you see fewer people going there, or because no one is going there, that's why you go there?"

"I went because no one else went." Lian Qizhen was overwhelmed by the questions.

She didn't dare lie, for fear that if she said someone had gone there, she wouldn't be able to tell who the other person was, and the time wouldn't match, which would attract attention.

"How long did it take you to come back? Did you notice any movement around you after you came back?"

"About five or six minutes, no."

This time, the people above did not ask any further questions, but instead dug out other materials for review.

Time passed little by little, and finally, the person above looked at her again, "We have also questioned many people here. Some of them said that they were the last one to go there, and some said they saw you come back."

Having said that, the conversation stopped.

Lian Qizhen hummed, "I didn't pay attention to that."

"But the other party noticed that it was you. According to the location he described, it should be where you and your assistant Mo Xiaoxiao rested. And after you, another man came out from the bushes. So when you were in the bushes, didn't you notice that there was someone else?"

Lian Qizhen slowly curled up the fingers under his sleeves, "No."

The other party observed her expression and nodded to her, "Okay, you can go back."

Lian Qizhen nodded, stood up and left.

He closed the door on his body, blocking out the sharp gazes from behind him.

Inside the room, Rong Junjie asked the leader of the bureau, "Director Wang, what is the relationship between this Lian engineer and Zhu Weidong?"

"The two families are old friends." Director Wang answered, then thought for a moment and said, "Engineer Lian likes Zhu Weidong, and many unpleasant things happened on the construction site. According to the plan, Engineer Lian was not going to come to the new project here, but she applied to come on her own."

The people from the Public Security Bureau also became interested and asked Director Wang to explain in detail.

Zhu Weidong is missing, and Director Wang hopes to find useful clues to find him as soon as possible.

So he told him everything he knew in detail.

After hearing that Lian Qizhen was close to Gu Baoshan from the accounting department, and that Gu Baoshan was also familiar with Zhu Weidong, Rong Junjie wrote down the names of several people and drew lines between them.

Afterwards, Rong Junjie and his friends analyzed, "It seems that the one who has a grudge against Zhu Weidong is Lian Qizhen. Another one is Gu Baoshan. I know Zhu Weidong's lover Ji Ling and her affairs. Gu Baoshan's lover was a classmate of Ji Ling, and their relationship was not very good when they were in school."

After hearing this, Rong Junjie's friend understood, "Leave this to me. Gu Baoshan and Zhu Weidong are close, and we have always regarded him as the main suspect. Some people below also reported that Zhu Weidong has been keeping his distance from Gu Baoshan in the later period. It is not ruled out that Gu Baoshan has a grudge in his heart and did something to harm others."

Rong Junjie had to go back. He was also worried about Ji Ling and wanted to stop by to see her. However, Ji Ling had already returned to the capital because she was pregnant. He did not stay for long. He said hello to his friends and left.

Lian Qizhen felt uneasy after being questioned. She wanted to find Gu Baoshan several times but was afraid of being watched. She could only signal him with her eyes to look for her when they met at work.

However, Gu Baoshan seemed not to notice her hint. Even after waiting for a few days, Qiqin still did not see Gu Baoshan coming to see her in private.

Seeing that the people on the construction site were being questioned one by one, Lian Qizhen fell ill due to the high pressure and shock.

Gu Baoshan finally went to the health center to see her under the pretext of disease control.

Assistant Mo Xiaoxiao was there. When she saw Gu Baoshan coming, she greeted him with a smile. Gu Baoshan handed over the fruit he had bought.

"Engineer Lian, let me go wash some for you. You haven't had an appetite these past few days."

"Okay." Lian Qizhen didn't need to find an excuse to send the assistant away. The assistant left on his own. After watching the person leave, Lian Qizhen didn't dare to speak rashly, "You are very busy over there. You don't have to be so polite to come and see me."

"You are sick, how can you not come to see me." Gu Baoshan sat down with a smile. The curtain was drawn on the other side of the bed. Gu Baoshan shook his head at her, indicating her not to say more.
