There were two other men in Zhou Rongfeng's office at the time. The thin one with glasses is called He Qi, and the fat one is called Xie Tangmao. Both are vice presidents of the company.
Police spoke to both men separately.
Xu Mengshan: "Are you the deputy general manager of Fenjinbao Company?"
He Qi seemed very calm. It seems that people who work in this gray industry have an obscure temperament and will never let you see through it easily.
He Qi replied: "Yes."
Xu Mengshan: "What are you specifically responsible for?"
He Qi: "Accounts receivable."
Xu Mengshan: "Debt collector?"
He Qi: “You can say that.”
Xu Mengshan: "How do you carry out your work specifically?"
He Qi's face remained calm: "It's just some common methods, text messages, phone calls, and communication. I will also contact his relatives and friends and try to get him to repay the loan as soon as possible."
Xu Mengshan smiled and said it very tactfully. The man in front of him was obviously a seasoned man. He answered all the police questions without saying a single word more.
"Do you know Fan Lingling?"
He Qi said calmly: "I don't know him."
"Aren't you in charge of collecting the payment? She has started receiving all kinds of harassing and threatening text messages since last week. Isn't it you who did it? Don't you know her?"
He Qi smiled and said, "Comrade police officer, our company has thousands of clients. I am a manager, how can I know them all?"
Without even a pause, Xu Mengshan looked He Qi in the eye: "But Chen Zhaoci said that the company boss saw Fan Lingling that day, and it was his superiors who instructed him to bring her to the company. Who instructed him to do that? Wasn't it you?"
He Qi moved his lips and said, "I don't know. If it's really Chen Zhaoci who said that, you should go ask him."
Xu Mengshan stared at him coldly for a few seconds before continuing to ask, "What are you doing in the company today?"
He Qi: "Handling work."
"What job?"
"It's just some accounts receivable and work arrangements. They're all in the office. You can go and have a look."
"Where were you from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m.?"
"I was in the office at first, but then I heard something happened, so I rushed to Mr. Zhou's office."
“Can anyone prove it?”
"I think it's a company employee. I've explained the work to a few people."
"What did you see when you arrived at Zhou Rongfeng's office?"
He Qi: "I saw Mr. Zhou lying on the ground, bleeding a lot. I called the medical staff in the company to bandage him."
Xu Mengshan: "How long after you went in did he wake up?"
He Qi: "About ten minutes."
"So it was you who arranged for those people to chase after Fan Lingling?"
He Qi: “…Yes.”
"You said you didn't know Fan Lingling, so why did you gather people to arrest her as soon as you found out Zhou Rongfeng was injured?"
He Qi paused for a few seconds before saying, "I'm not arresting her. I don't know who it is. But Boss Zhou looked like she was beaten. I'm asking them to find the murderer."
"But I asked them. You told them to arrest a young girl! And you said you didn't know Fan Lingling?"
He Qi had a blank expression on his face. He was silent for a while, then slowly said, "As a superior, I know that Chen Zhaoci is going to bring a female client to the company to discuss business today, but this does not contradict the fact that I don't know Fan Lingling."
Xu Mengshan sneered: "But your boss was injured and unconscious. Although you called the company's medical staff, you took the initiative not to call an ambulance or the police. You said he was unconscious for ten minutes before waking up! Why? Why didn't you call them and just handled it privately?"
He Qi's face finally turned red. He picked up the teacup in front of him, took a big sip, and then said, "Our company's medical staff is not bad. Usually everyone comes to them for help. They can also handle more serious injuries. I originally planned to call an ambulance if Mr. Zhou didn't wake up in a while."
Xu Mengshan slapped the table and said, "You are full of lies. Do you believe these far-fetched reasons? Ah? How much do you know about Fan Lingling's matter? Why don't you dare to call the police or an ambulance? What are you trying to hide? What is there to be ashamed of? Tell me the truth!"
…
You Mingxu and Yin Feng stood behind a one-way glass wall.
You Mingxu said, "Aren't you good at behavioral analysis? And those micro-expressions? Can you tell which of his lies are lies and which are true?"
Yin Feng: “Uh…”
You Mingxu glanced at him.
He said, "Ah Xu, you've watched too many TV dramas. I'm not a god. If micro-expressions were omnipotent, then you police wouldn't have to investigate cases. A micro-expression expert can catch the murderer with just one look."
You Mingxu snorted, looked at the people in the interrogation room, and said, "Xu Mengshan asked very beautiful questions, but no matter how far-fetched He Qi's confession is, we have no evidence now." She punched the wall hard.
Another fist stretched out from the side, close to hers, and pressed against the wall side by side. When she turned her head, she saw the gentle and inclusive smile in Yin Feng's eyes. You Mingxu was originally filled with grief and indignation, but suddenly he seemed to be enveloped by this smile.
The next person to be tried was Xie Tangmao, another deputy general manager of Fenjinbao Company, along with You Mingxu and Yin Feng.
Judging from his facial features, Xie Tangmao is a person who is easy to like. He is of medium build, with a fair face. He smiles before speaking, and it is the kind of smile that carries a bit of kindness and friendliness. When he sat down, he nodded and bowed, being very polite.
You Mingxu asked: "What are you responsible for at Fenjinbao Company?"
Xie Tangmao replied: "Comrade police officer, I am mainly responsible for personnel, administration, and business expansion, that is, opening stores. In short, I am in charge of all the chores, but I don't manage the specific business very much. The work records and income and expenditure in my hands are all clear and can be checked. There is really no problem with my work."
You Mingxu smiled and asked, "Do you know Fan Lingling?"
Xie Tangmao shook his head: "I didn't know her at first, but today I heard that this girl injured Mr. Zhou in our company and then ran away, so I knew this person. Well, no matter what the girl did wrong, now she can't be found, her family and friends must be so distressed. I can't bear to see a family suffer any hardship. The person disappeared in our company, and when I finish this, I will do my best to help find this girl..."
He spoke eloquently, with an emotional look on his face, and even in a rather passionate tone. You Mingxu kept staring at him, and he seemed to be only concerned with his own words, constantly expressing his fairness, kindness and enthusiasm.
You Mingxu asked again: "Where were you between 6:30 and 8:00 this evening? What were you doing?"
Xie Tangmao smiled, "Oh, I'm in the office, working overtime. The company's business volume has been high recently, and I have a lot of work to do. As the head of logistics, I must keep up with the supporting services, right? I really don't know what happened outside. With the door closed, I really didn't pay attention. If I had noticed something was wrong earlier, I would have rushed out immediately to persuade Fan Lingling and Mr. Zhou. Then, wouldn't they have hurt anyone? Fan Lingling probably wouldn't have run away."
"When did you arrive at Mr. Zhou's office, and what did you see?"
Xie Tangmao replied: "It was probably 7:30, before 8 o'clock. When I went in, I saw they were all there. Ms. Zhou was leaning on the sofa, unconscious. There was blood on the ground. It was so scary. Why would a girl beat someone up when nothing was wrong? Isn't this hurting others and yourself? Fortunately, Ms. Zhou is fine, otherwise this girl would have to go to jail too, right?"
"Why didn't you call the police or an ambulance? Why did you send people to chase Fan Lingling?"
Xie Tangmao was stunned for a moment and said, "I don't know. He Qi said not to call the police, so what should I do? He is the second in command of the company, and I can't get past him even if I want to call him. As for pursuing Fan Lingling, I don't know. I have to ask He Qi."
