"We just feel it's necessary to have a face-to-face conversation with him. After all, he might be the victim, right?"
Luo Fei said this.
It made the security guard chuckle involuntarily.
He hadn't expected it.
The other party was surprisingly shrewd.
They imdiately caught the loophole in his words.
The way he said it earlier actually made him appear guilty.
He realized too, the other party was different from those rookie trainee cops who ca before.
The security guard imdiately signaled Luo Fei and his companion to sit down.
"How about this, gentlen? Why don't you have so tea and take a rest? I'll go make a call to the boss and see if he has ti to see you."
The security guard seed very respectful.
Speaking with clear embarrassnt.
Only then did Luo Fei and Han Tiesheng exchange a glance.
Sitting down in the security room.
Almost simultaneously, the security guard had already dialed the boss's secretary's number.
"Secretary Liu, are you busy at the mont?"
"There are two officers wanting to see Mr. Jin, just wondering, does Mr. Jin have ti now? If he's unavailable, then I'll inform the officers so they can co by later?"
The guard spoke, slightly hesitating.
While on the phone, the person scoffed with impatience.
"Security Bro, have you forgotten your status? Since when was it your turn to schedule etings for Mr. Jin?"
"Besides, Mr. Jin is busy right now, he doesn't have ti to et any officers. We're not afraid of shadows even when upright, hardly did anything wrong..."
He realized Secretary Liu was blaming him.
Accusing him of overstepping, casually arranging etings for the boss.
The guard had to apologize promptly.
"Secretary Liu, I know Mr. Jin is usually busy. But this ti the situation is special... If you can't agree, it really puts us in a tough spot... If it affects the company's reputation, it would be troubleso."
The guard's voice was laced with embarrassnt.
Seemingly quite troubled.
Yet Secretary Liu was even more impatient.
Almost decided to hang up directly.
"Enough nonsense! I'm telling you, old man, today Mr. Jin has a big deal, a very important business. If it weren't for not wanting to lose face in front of a key client, I could have fired you directly!"
Such words left the guard montarily conflicted.
Sweat trickling from his forehead.
Before he could continue explaining.
Luo Fei had already taken the initiative to speak on the phone.
In a casual tone.
"Secretary, we do have urgent business with Mr. Jin. If possible, could you please be accommodating?"
"After all, we're from the major cris unit, currently investigating a homicide case. If Mr. Jin doesn't cooperate, it might lead to so speculations."
Luo Fei's words led to a lengthy silence on the other end of the line.
...
"Officer, so that's what's happening. I thought you were here because of that Zhou Renli incident before. With this, it seems we've misunderstood."
Discerning the secretary's tone, which still carried so reluctance.
Clearly, after discussing with the boss for quite a while, they answered the call.
Luo Fei wasn't keen on chatting further.
"Secretary Liu, we're in the security room at your company's entrance."
"You have 20 minutes to prepare and decide whether to et with us or not. Alternatively, we can skip the eting, and I can directly apply for a search warrant to investigate your company's internal financial records and related data. To confirm you haven't extorted Zhou Renli."
What seed like negotiation in Luo Fei's words.
In reality, it was a final warning.
Though Secretary Liu was displeased.
And sowhat annoyed.
They had no choice but to suppress their anger and agree.
"I understand. Please wait a mont."
"Mr. Jin and I are at the warehouse, we should be there shortly."
With the call ended.
Luo Fei imdiately dialed the local market supervision bureau.
"Hello? Is this the local market regulation departnt?"
"Hello, is this the Changli City local notary office?"
...
With Luo Fei making calls one after another.
Beside him, Han Tiesheng was a bit taken aback.
"Mr. Luo, do you really need to make so many calls?"
"If Mr. Jin has problems, shouldn't we just arrest him directly?"
Detecting Han Tiesheng's incredulity.
Luo Fei explained with a smile.
"Old Han, this is what you don't understand. If it's a criminal case, our job is to investigate the facts, identify the culprit, then arrest them."
"But precisely when facing people like Mr. Jin, who walk the fine line between morality and law, we mustn't be careless. We need to be thoroughly prepared."
"Otherwise, even a small oversight could allow them to escape their legal responsibilities."
Luo Fei's analysis made perfect sense.
After all, it was to deal with people like Mr. Jin.
Thus, he needed to exercise caution.
If there was any slip-up, the consequences were predictable.
Soone as crafty as Mr. Jin would definitely find loopholes.
There's no way he could allow them to take advantage.
After listening to Luo Fei's analysis.
Han Tiesheng was surprised.
"Mr. Luo, I didn't expect you to have such skills in handling criminal cases, and also with cunning businessn?"
Han Tiesheng genuinely admired him.
Luo Fei simply responded with a smile.
"Old Han, it's about knowing oneself and the opposition, winning every battle."
"Plus, I have a hunch. This Mr. Jin might have more than just civil disputes."
Luo Fei's analysis was reasonable.
Han Tiesheng certainly understood.
Luo Fei made this judgnt based on the data left on the USB by Boss Bai.
Although not entirely certain.
But what Boss Bai ntioned about soone leading him to a deep pit, causing irreversible harm, perhaps it was indeed Mr. Jin.
That's why Luo Fei couldn't be 100% sure.
Because Boss Bai didn't provide a photo of the other person in the video.
As for the na, pseudonyms could be used.
It's not a reliable criterion for identifying the culprit.
"Beep beep!"
Just then.
With the sound of a car horn.
A black Porsche had stopped in front of Luo Fei and Old Han.
"Hello officers, I'm Secretary Liu, and our Mr. Jin is sitting in the backseat."
As soone stepped out from the passenger seat.
They imdiately noticed the suited individuals behind Luo Fei.
Pausing their smile instantly.
They hadn't expected Luo Fei to make it such a big affair.
But only a mont of hesitation.
They quickly walked to the rear seat.
Opened the car door.
Seeing soone step out of the car, besides Mr. Jin, there was unexpectedly Shen Mingchuan.
Luo Fei was also montarily stunned.
"Mr. Shen, why are you here?"
Luo Fei seed surprised.
Unexpectedly seeing him here.
Shen Mingchuan also slightly embarrassedly replied.
"Mr. Luo, I was discussing a cooperation project with Mr. Jin just now. Hoping he'd transport materials for the landmark building we're about to establish. Then he was called over by you."
"I also heard they're from the major cris unit, plus our business deal isn't fully discussed yet, so I decided to co along."
Shen Mingchuan spoke with seeming nonchalance.
But those eyes like a hawk's contained a trace of complex emotion.
Luo Fei didn't seem to notice, instead speaking more casually.
"Mr. Shen, it's convenient you're here."
"Those two who transported the bodies last ti have been detained by the police. They'll likely face ten or twenty-year sentences."
"But considering they were extorted and blackmailed, we might consider reducing their sentence duration."
When Luo Fei spoke.
His sharp gaze shining in his dark eyes.
Clearly addressing Shen Mingchuan, though his eyes stayed fixed on Mr. Jin.
Making Mr. Jin feel sowhat uncomfortable.
Feeling his nerves prickle.
Yet he forced a smile.
Sowhat embarrassed, he asked.
"Officers, what exactly do you need for?"
