"This is terrifying. I never thought things would turn out like this."
Secretary Chen covered his mouth in shock.
However, he began to admire Luo Fei more, amazed that this young officer possessed such incredible skills.
He just took a quick look around the scene, and within the ti it took for the elevator to go up and down, he figured out how his boss was killed and the sequence of events...
Even in those cri and detective shows, you wouldn’t see efficiency like this.
It’s unbelievable.
Luo Fei returned to the elevator, shaking his shoulders lightly as he relaxed.
"Alright, I’m feeling relieved now."
"Now that we have a basic understanding of the logic and sequence of the cri, we just need to identify the motive and the suspects."
When they walked out, Zhang Wei and the others were sitting idly in the lobby.
"Zhao, Captain, Leader, any clues?"
"Yes!"
Zhao Donglai was all smiles.
"Thanks to your leader, we’ve figured out half of the situation. Tomorrow, we’ll start officially investigating the perpetrators."
"Quick, tell us, how did he die?"
Lin Jie excitedly approached Luo Fei.
He knew the leader had found clues upstairs and deduced the murder process, so he was impatient to know.
Luo Fei waved his hand.
"Tonight Zhao Donglai is treating us, we’ll talk while we eat. I’m starving."
The group returned to the station and found a local restaurant nearby. Since the weather was cold, they ordered a hot pot.
Sitting around the fire, apart from Luo Fei and Zhao Donglai, everyone else looked puzzled.
They still couldn’t understand how Gu Xiaochuan was killed.
Luo Fei recounted the process and clues of the cri.
The others suddenly realized, and Zhang Wei widened his eyes in disbelief, amazed that soone could turn the elevator into a secret room and commit murder unnoticed.
It was even more incredible that their leader solved it in less than half a day.
It was utterly astonishing!
A true expert provided insight, showing who’s truly superior.
"Leader, Captain Zhao, what should we do tomorrow? From what you said, both the repair crew and the victim’s family are suspects. One has potential involvent, and the other was present. Who should we focus on?"
"Focus?"
Luo Fei sneered.
"Focus on what? Let tell you, the essence of solving a case is to seize all clues, never cherry-pick or take things out of context. You must capture every detail."
"This is the essence of deducing the truth from seemingly insignificant traces."
The team mbers nodded solemnly, agreeing wholeheartedly.
"So we need to investigate both sides. Tomorrow evening we’ll have another discussion."
"Lin Jie, rember to retrieve the surveillance footage of Zhide Group from that day, all records from the lobby. We’ll definitely need them."
"Why don’t we check the surveillance first?"
Zhao Donglai, while eating beef, still raised his question.
Luo Fei calmly smiled.
"If we check the surveillance footage first, we might be misled, at least altered by so shots or things that weren’t captured. This would skew our subsequent investigation."
"Therefore, we should first conduct interviews and collect their statents, then verify with the surveillance footage. This way, accuracy is greatly enhanced."
After speaking, Luo Fei looked down at the pot, finding only vegetables and noodles left.
The three beside him leaned back in their chairs, rubbing their full bellies, savoring the taste of lamb.
"You three really enjoy your food."
Zhao Donglai laughed heartily at the sight, raised his hand, and ordered more dishes.
The next day, the group set off again, with Zhang Wei and others retrieving and initially reviewing the surveillance footage.
Luo Fei went out alone to investigate these two sets of people.
Since Zhao Donglai had matters to handle at the station, he didn’t accompany them, entrusting this task solely to Luo Fei.
The first stop was the store where the repair crew belonged.
The repair crew is responsible for after-sales and maintenance, having a contract with Zhide Company, and regularly inspecting and maintaining.
That day, a supervisor from the team led them there for so inspections and adjustnts to the elevator lighting.
Upon hearing Luo Fei was there for an inquiry, they imdiately cooperated actively.
Because they also wanted to know how Gu Xiaochuan actually died.
The bizarre and uncanny nature of his death left everyone uneasy for the past two days.
Back then, being the ones who left right after using the elevator, they were labeled as suspicious by unscrupulous online marketers or bloggers, who defined them as special people with potential involvent.
This left them very troubled...
Nowadays, people create rumors online at will, causing those wanting to refute them to run around endlessly.
The case must be closed quickly with a clear statent.
Otherwise, if this drags on, it might impact their work.
The supervisor who received Luo Fei was surnad Bai, followed by seven others. The eight ford a team, including three veterans, two newcors, and two assisting helpers.
"Officer Luo, we’re really unaware of this matter. Whoever did this horrible thing, we hardworking folks are affected too."
