Chapter 547: Acting Tough is Not a Woman’s Strength

As the other party was very insistent, Sheng Kai stood no chance in forcing him. However, he now knew one critical thing, and Sheng Bowen was the key to determining the chances of him overcoming this crisis.

But, would Sheng Bowen help him unconditionally?

Now that the board of directors had a low opinion on him, there was a possibility that he would not be able to keep his position as the CEO of Huang Yao if he failed to handle this contract properly.

But if he let Third Brother get all the credits, it would also be detrimental to his position as the CEO. In that case, he must think of a perfect solution to this problem.

Luckily, he still had an idea. Maybe, this incident would not just be a crisis, but a turning point for him.

In the Criminal Investigation Branch, the police were trying to identify the suspects of the case based on Tang Yan’s deduction.

Sure enough, they found one. He was the brother’s cousin who was about thirty-eight years old. His name was Liao Xing. He was living in poverty, relying on collecting recyclables to support his family.

After receiving the news, the team immediately arrested and interrogated the man.

The special investigation team thought the case might be solved soon. However, after carefully observing Liao Xing, Tang Yan could feel something was off.

“Liao Xing, please explain yourself. Why did you go to the murder scene?”

Liao Xing thought for a while and replied, “Before they died, they called me to go and collect some recyclables. But who knew that when I got there, they would all be dead. I wasn’t sure if they were still alive at that moment, so I checked on each of them. Then, I looked for a place to call the police. It was me who made the report. I don’t have a cell phone so I used a public phone.”

So that was why Liao Xing’s footprints were left at the murder scene.

“Is there anyone who can testify this?”

“You can ask my wife. My house phone’s got a call log.”

“He isn’t the murderer.”

After the interrogation, the team came to this conclusion.

“It looks like the murderer did not just created an illusion of a murder-suicide, he even tried to make Liao Xing the scapegoat.”

The professor said to Tang Yan, “So, your direction is all wrong.”

“Wait. If Liao Xing had entered the place, there should be another set of his footprints leaving the place. But why weren’t there any?” Tang Yan pointed out crucial information.

“It looks like we have to interrogate Liao Xing once more.”

After a while, Mu Qiqi and Feng Shanshan arrived at the forensics laboratory. When they came to know that the police had found a lot of clues in just one day, they quickly learned the newfound information.

Then, Mu Qiqi also put forward her view.

“I think we must have overlooked some important clues before. The reorganization of the hotel itself. Why did they do it? And on what aspects did they carry out the reorganization?”

“It’s said that the hotel was involved in gambling and drugs,” a team member replied.

“If the hotel was involved in these two businesses, they might have provided some special services. For example, a secret door or a secret path for them to escape.”

After Mu Qiqi said that, Feng Shanshan stared at her. “What else do you know? You are so unpredictable, my rich young lady.”

“I’ve read many cases and so I made a guess. Besides, if the murderer knew Liao Xing, he must be someone familiar to the four victims. I think that if the hotel does have such facilities, then the murderer will know how to make use of those to cover up his tracks.”

“I will let the team go around the neighbourhood and search the hotel thoroughly,” the team leader said. “As for Liao Xing, I will inform you when we get the result. The murderer is not just vicious, he is also very clever. But of course, Qiqi, you are smarter.” He praised Mu Qiqi.

“Alright, it’s late now. You and Shanshan should go back and rest. You are students, aren’t you? Don’t delay your studies. I won’t be responsible if you fail your courses. And more importantly, your car has already been waiting outside for some time.”

Mu Qiqi looked out of the window and blushed. “I shall leave first.”

When the professor saw Mu Qiqi off, he nudged Tang Yan’s shoulder. “You send Shanshan home…”

“I still have some doubts. I’m staying.” Tang Yan refused without a second thought.

The professor rolled his eyes.

“You can solve your doubts even if you send someone home right? If I were your mother, I would be so worried, worried about you getting yourself a girlfriend.”

Tang Yan turned around and glanced at Feng Shanshan. However, she did not want to rely on him and walked straight out of the police station. She planned to get some workout done.

Unfortunately, the weather today was so bad that it was indeed not very safe for a girl to be alone outside. So, Tang Yan went to the parking lot without any hesitation and drove his off-road vehicle out.

Feng Shanshan did not expect him to catch up with her. And she obviously did not want him to.

“I won’t trouble you, Officer Tang!”

“Get in. Don’t waste time.”

“I can go home myself.”

Feng Shanshan was stubborn. She did not want to get involved with Tang Yan. However, Tang Yan suddenly stopped the car. He got out with lightning speed and swiftly lifted Feng Shanshan onto his shoulders, and then put her on the front passenger seat.

“Acting tough is not a woman’s strength.”

Feng Shanshan rolled her eyes. “Officer Tang, do you know how many times I have rolled my eyes since you came?”

“Just don’t do it in front of me!”

Feng Shanshan was speechless.

“Actually, you really don’t have to force yourself.”

“I’m not. It’s not a big deal.”

Feng Shanshan was angry, so she decided not to speak anymore. However, Tang Yan did not start the engine either. They glared into each other’s eyes. It was quite a while before Feng Shanshan broke the silence. “Are you planning to spend New Years here?”

“You didn’t tell me your address, so I can only drive in the direction of my home.”

Feng Shanshan felt that she must have been influenced by this man with a low EQ after working with him for a period of time. Otherwise, she would not have acted stupid with him.

She promptly told him her address and closed her eyes to rest. She did not think that she would have the time to quarrel with that stupid man as she was already so tired.

Mu Qiqi and Sheng Xiao’s car was just behind theirs. Mu Qiqi saw it with her own eyes how Tang Yan carried Feng Shanshan on his shoulders.

“There must be something between the two. It’s just that Officer Tang has a terribly low EQ.”

Sheng Xiao’s eyes were closed at first, but when he heard Mu Qiqi commenting on another man, he pinched her chin. “Are you getting naughty again?”
