In the lobby on the first floor of an office building in Jinghai City, Yuan Chen and Hao Weida were waiting in line for the elevator.
I don’t know why, but there were so many people waiting for the elevator today.
"Really, didn't you just come to see him two days ago? Why are you here again today? If Liu Wei doesn't think I'm annoying, I even think I'm annoyed."
"Who told you that I came to see Liu Wei?"
"No, if you don't look for him, what are you doing here?"
Yuan Chen turned his head away.
"Stop asking, you won't understand even if I tell an idiot like you."
"Hey, I said, you still use foreign capitalism to look down on me, right? We are a socialist country, and what we pay attention to is mutual help and unity..."
Yuan Chen yawned loudly and didn't even look at him.
"What's going on? Why is it broken again!" A woman behind complained, her voice sounded delicate and very gentle.
"This is the third time this month. This broken elevator really can't be repaired no matter how hard it is."
"Beauty, which floor is Hengmao Group on?" Yuan Chen walked over and asked.
The two of them started chatting and laughing.
Hao Weida stood aside blankly, as if coming here was completely unnecessary.
"Huh, if you see a beautiful woman and chat with her, you really won't change your nature."
"Hey, is the elevator here broken?" Yuan Chen suddenly asked.
The beautiful woman just thought he was an employee who didn't know the situation, and spoke without much thought:
"Are you new here? Oops, you are so unlucky. This elevator is broken, so you have to wait for the one next to it."
Hao Weida breathed a long sigh of relief and patted Yuan Chen on the shoulder.
"There is no end to the road. Fortunately, there is an elevator that can be used. Otherwise, if I climb to the 17th floor, it will really kill me!"
Yuan Chen looked at his fat body and didn't expect that he was quite self-aware in this regard.
"Then this maintenance man is really incompetent." He replied.
These words were obviously very helpful to the woman, and she started to complain again.
"That's right, last time all the buttons were broken, but this time it's even worse. The elevator can't move."
Yuan Chen's heart moved and he asked quickly:
"When was the last time the elevator broke down?"
The woman thought for a moment.
"More than a week ago. Anyway, it was just repaired the day before yesterday. Now, something went wrong again." She smiled bitterly.
............
Finally reaching the 17th floor, Hao Weida breathed in the fresh air. He was almost deformed from being squeezed in the elevator just now.
Yuan Chen has already chatted with a female employee.
"Ah, this, about Director Liu..." She pursed her lips, looking a little hesitant.
"After all, this involves some important information about Liu Wei, so I hope you can cooperate with the investigation and tell me the truth." Yuan Chen said coldly.
The female employee seemed to have finally made up her mind.
"Indeed, there have been some rumors in the company about Director Liu, saying that Director Xiao from the Human Resources Department is his lover. Normally, we have indeed seen the two of them having sex."
Lover? This is the first time I heard such a statement.
And judging from the employee's tone, it seems that not many people know about this.
"Mr. Police Officer, has Director Liu committed something?" the female employee asked in a low voice. It seemed that she was also very interested in her leader's private life.
No matter when in the workplace, it is human nature to gossip.
"It's okay, it's just a routine inquiry, don't worry too much."
As soon as the female employee left, Yuan Chen felt someone slap her hard on the back.
He turned around and saw Hao Weida's honest but innocent smile.
"Old Yuan, I really misjudged you. You went too far. You got together with Betty in country M, and then you had an affair with Officer Li when you returned to the country. Now, in less than half an hour, they hooked up with each other.
I bet you came back to China to pick up girls and become a stud!"
Yuan Chen rolled his eyes at him.
"That's right, I'm here to be a stallion, and I'm a super stallion. I haven't finished my task today. I still have several offers, so just follow me and watch."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
A fat man with a messy face was left behind.
I asked several employees again, and the answers they got were all similar. The scandal about Liu Wei and Director Xiao was widely spread among the employees. Even Hao Weida, a latecomer, could feel it. These two people definitely had something to do with each other.
leg!
As a married man, Liu Wei, if he really did such a thing, I wonder what his wife would think.
When Yuan Chen was about to leave, he was stopped by Hao Weida.
"Brother, are we leaving like this?"
"Why don't you leave and stay here? They don't care about food."
"No, Liu Wei, why don't you go look for us? Master, you don't even see us, why are we here?"
"Didn't I tell you why I came here earlier, and you still can't see it?"
Hao Weida shook his head numbly.
"Come to pick up girls."
After saying that, he quickly walked into the elevator.
............
Since this case involves both murder and property theft, the leaders above attach great importance to it. It can be said that the entire criminal police detachment is very busy. It is relatively easy for someone like Yuan Chen who hangs out all day long.
On the red wine bottle found in the deceased's bedroom, the fingerprint test results have come out. A total of three people's fingerprints were found on it, all on the bottle. One belonged to the deceased Liu Ya, and there were two others. Among them
One perfectly matched the collected fingerprint of Shao Shuting.
According to her own statement, the birthday party that night was the last time she saw Liu Ya. From then until Liu Ya's death, the two did not see each other again. Naturally, this also illustrates a fact.
That bottle of red wine was indeed brought over by Shao Shuting.
Originally, Liu Wei was considered the biggest suspect in this case because of his strong motive. However, after his alibi was confirmed, his suspicion was basically eliminated. Now most of the police's attention is focused on Shao Shuting.
In the car, Hao Weida was holding the steering wheel, while Yuan Chen was sitting in the passenger seat with his eyes closed and concentrating.
"I still don't understand. We have so many witnesses who can prove that Liu Wei and that supervisor Xiao were having an affair. Why can't we use this to think that the two of them teamed up to commit perjury?"
Yuan Chen still closed his eyes, completely unmoved.
"Hey, hey, I'm asking you something, can you please stop acting like a dead person?"
He freed up a hand and shook Yuan Chen's arm vigorously.
"Oh, I'm so annoyed. Can you let me rest for a while? I shouldn't have brought you out today."
"I'm asking you, but you don't mind me, why don't we go find Liu Wei and force him to marry me?"
"Forcing your sister, do you have any evidence?"
"If there is no evidence, we will try him and torture him severely. I don't believe that this guy will not be punished!"
"Idiot, we are in the 21st century now. Do you think you are still living in the ancient times? You still torture us and rush in without evidence. You have a reason to sue us for defamation."
Yuan Chen rubbed his eyes. There was no one else who wanted to explain such a simple truth in person.
"Then what should I do? Is it possible to let him go like this?"
"What's the rush? I've already made arrangements. Just wait."
"Then let's go now..."
"Drive your car carefully and I'll keep my eyes open for a while."
