Three more days later, Ling Feng flipped through all the information collected since the incident. From the beginning, he frowned, trying every possible means to find clues from the pages of pale paper, and finally returned to calm, mechanically. Turn over the case file. Finally, he finally let out a long breath. This breath contained a lot of helplessness, but he had to accept the depression of reality.
"Close the case." Ling Feng softly spat out these three words.
Everyone else was already prepared for this outcome, as if he was the only one who had been obsessed with it throughout the entire process, always wanting to make something out of nothing, and would not give up until some trouble was caused.
Director Liu Qingrong saw the case closure report brought by Ling Feng. Although he still had no good expression, he still reached out and took it.
While flipping through the report in his hand casually, he said to Ling Feng without raising his head: "Three extra days were wasted, but in the end, didn't the case just end like this?"
"You said you don't know who you are competing with. Such a clear and conclusive case, to put it mildly, is just to deliver results to our bureau. You have been dragging it out for two weeks now before it is over. , which has lengthened our average time limit for solving crimes.”
Ling Feng stood in front of Liu Qingrong, always feeling like something was stuck in his heart and his breathing was not smooth, but it was not because of the director's rebuke. Different from the elusiveness and elusiveness of ordinary unsolved cases, this case seems to have been carefully planned, allowing people to see what should be seen and perfectly hiding those things that should not be seen.
As soon as Ling Ling walked out of the police station gate, he saw an eye-catching red car parked in the parking lot of their police station. Just when she was about to take a closer look out of curiosity, the car door was opened, and a tall woman with long wavy curly hair walked out.
She elegantly took off her sunglasses and gave Ling Ling a charming smile.
"Why is it you?" Ling Ling blurted out when he saw her.
"Why can't it be me?" Liu Mengwei closed the car door and walked towards Ling Ling. "Let me ask about that case."
"Sorry, we have regulations and we cannot tell the case to unrelated persons." Ling Ling had a business-like attitude.
"What? You police officers are too ruthless. You call people here and there when you need them, and kick them away when you don't." Liu Mengwei exclaimed exaggeratedly. "You took the initiative to find me in the first place."
Although Ling Ling said he had no comment, he had actually told her the basic situation of the case that day, and he didn't know what else she wanted to know. "Yes, but after inviting you, the great Buddha, didn't we still get no useful information?"
Liu Mengwei was a little embarrassed: "Then... how about we go to that pharmaceutical company and maybe..."
"The case has been closed." Ling Ling interrupted her.
"What?" Liu Meng was stunned.
"I said, this case has been closed, there is nothing to investigate anymore." Lingling suddenly felt a little discouraged. Although everyone in the bureau felt relieved that another case had been closed, when she saw her brother's look like he was worried, , Ling Ling couldn't help but be infected by him.
Liu Mengwei said "Oh" softly, which didn't sound very disappointing. "But why don't you look happy?"
"What are you talking about? This is a murder case!" Ling Ling was a little angry. She believed that no matter whether the case could be solved or not, as long as someone died, it was not something worth being happy about.
Seeing that Ling Ling was about to turn around and leave, Liu Mengwei quickly stopped her and said, "Are you really not going to go to Boya Pharmaceutical Company with me again?"
"Don't you understand? The case has been closed, that's the end of it."
"Just because the case is closed doesn't mean it can't be investigated. Does it mean that as long as a murder occurs in a place, the same thing will never happen again?"
"What do you mean?" Lingling was shocked. "Will there be another murder in Boya Company?"
"I'm just making an analogy." Liu Mengwei waved her hand to tell her not to be so nervous. "Although the murder case has been resolved, it does not mean that there are no problems in that place."
"You're not talking about financial corruption, tax evasion or other issues, are you? That's not our business."
Liu Mengwei did not answer her directly. "You can only find out if there are any problems."
"Forget it, forget it, it's over now, I don't care." Ling Ling said, shaking her head.
"But the people at Boya Company won't know whether you have closed the case or not. You are the police. As long as you find any doubts, you have the right to investigate, and they are all obliged to cooperate."
"Why are you……"
She didn't turn away, but continued to ask questions. Questions are a precursor to hesitation, and hesitation is a precursor to acceptance. A smile gradually appeared on the corner of Liu Mengwei's mouth. "I'm sorry I couldn't help you last time, and I hope I can make amends."
"Make up for it?" Can this also make up for it? Lingling thought to herself.
"I plan to give you a piece of credit or recognition." The bright and full red lips are as curved as a hooked moon.
"Don't you want to make some achievements that will impress your brother?" She used her trump card. "Protection and love make people feel warm and safe, but sometimes they also make people feel constrained and cramped. They always feel that we can't do anything, as if we will never achieve anything without them."
Liu Mengwei had already opened the passenger door. "Come on." The open car door issued an irresistible invitation to her.
When Ling Ling came to Boya Medical Company again, she felt that only two weeks later, this place seemed to be very different from what she remembered. The manager who received them was still the same manager as last time, but seeing that there were only two people here this time, and they were two women, their attitude was naturally not as good as before.
"Two police officers, what else do you want to investigate? Our employees here have cooperated with you for several rounds of investigations. Your coming here again and again will affect our normal work." The manager chattered non-stop. Complain. "By the way, isn't this case quite clear? Why, it hasn't been closed yet?"
Ling Ling was originally unsure of his situation, so his momentum was a bit weaker. In addition, this was the first time that he went out to handle a case alone, with only a woman he had only met once beside him, so he suddenly felt at a loss. It was only now that her mind suddenly became clearer. Did she trust this stranger too much? Her eyes darkened and he followed her.
"Manager Wang, you don't need to be nervous. The main reason we came here this time is to investigate the affairs of Gao Liqun and Zhao Xiaoqing. It has nothing to do with you." Liu Mengwei suddenly spoke and said meaningfully.
"What do you mean it has nothing to do with me? Everything in the company has to do with me. I have to ensure that the company can run normally and well, instead of being interrupted by you over and over again like this!"
Liu Mengwei chuckled: "What I mean is that we will only investigate matters related to the murder case, and we will not pull out the carrots and bring out the mud."
Manager Wang's expression changed, and his tone suddenly became unpleasant: "What do you mean by this? Are you implying that our company has other problems?"
"I don't know if the company has any other problems, but I know you seem to have some problems." Liu Mengwei suddenly stood up and walked to the window, pointing at a short-haired girl wearing a blue sweater with her finger, "In the five minutes since we entered your office Here, this girl looked back here three times, she seems to be very curious about us."
"What's weird about this?" Manager Wang said impatiently.
"Oh? It doesn't look like she is." Liu Mengwei lay on the glass window and carefully looked at the people in the office outside. She pointed at the glass seemingly casually, and finally stopped at a girl with a ponytail and turned her head. He asked with a wicked smile: "Where is this one?"
Manager Wang finally couldn't help but shouted angrily: "What on earth do you mean!"
"It's not interesting." Liu Mengwei walked back from the glass window and picked up the family photo on Manager Wang's desk. "It seems that Manager Wang has a happy family. His wife looks very gentle and his daughter is very cute. Everyone who enters your office can see your family photo at a glance. It's a pity that everyone can see it. Only you can’t see it. So, you didn’t even notice that a layer of dust has accumulated on it.”
She turned over the photo frame and wrote two strings of numbers on the back. The format should be a mobile phone number. Liu Mengwei laughed out loud when she saw this: "Did you actually use your family photos as a note pad?"
Manager Wang's expression turned extremely ugly. He grabbed the photo frame, opened the drawer, threw it in hard, and then closed it as if he was venting his anger.
