Chapter 1713: A Dead End

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Alright, let’s have a meeting first.”

Li Xianghui walked to the small blackboard and listed some important clues on it.

“I’ve compiled this. If you have anything to say, you can add.”

“Now we can be sure that Du Juan was hiding a lot of things from us. What she knew was most likely related to the murderer.” Gu Yiran said.

“We can now confirm that Song Deyuan has been in frequent contact with Du Juan for the past three months. Furthermore, the places they visited were all mountainous areas. We can confirm that she could have lured Song Deyuan.”

“Besides that, 1 also discovered something else. Every place that Song Deyuan went to, his company had previously done projects there involving camera replacements,” Lin Yi said.

“So, every attempt by the murderer was meticulously planned. It wasn’t just this time; it’s just that this time they succeeded.”

With that, Lin Yi paused.

“But Du Juan isn’t the murderer, so it’s very likely that a third person was present when the two of them were travelling!”

“From the evidence before us, Song Zhe and Liu Fang are now even less suspicious.” Zhang Hui said.

“I don’t think they have any interactions with Du Juan.”

“For the time being, that should be the case. However, don’t give up on following them for the time being. Try not to make any mistakes,” Li Xianghui said.

“Got it. I’ll keep an eye on them,” Zhang Hui said.

Snap.

Gao Mingjun casually lit a cigarette and blew out a puff of smoke.

“The only clues we have are those few cameras. If we can track the IP address, it shouldn’t be difficult to lock onto the murderer.”

Everyone nodded. This was their only hope now.

At this moment, there was a knock on the office door and a middle-aged woman walked in.

“Inspector Li, the technical department’s report has been sent over. It’s all here.”

“Okay, thanks.”

After thanking her, Li Xianghui took the report and hurriedly opened it. However, when he saw the contents, his expression was ugly.

“What happened?”

“The IP address displayed is Song Deyuan’s company.”

“His company!”

Hearing this news, the expressions of the others changed.

If that was the case, it meant that the person spying on Du Juan was Song Deyuan and had nothing to do with the murderer.

“That’s understandable.” Lin Yi said.

“In order to prevent Du Juan from cheating, he secretly installed a camera in her house to monitor her. This makes sense.”

“I didn’t expect this old man to be so petty. He’s so attentive to a lover. He’s acting like it’s true love.” Gao Mingjun said.

“But at this point in the case, the trail is dead.”

Li Xianghui’s words made everyone fall silent.

Even if they wanted to investigate it further, they couldn’t find anything.

“Little Gao, Little Zhang, continue investigating Song Zhe and Liu Fang. See if you can find any other useful information,” Li Xianghui said.

“Okay.”

“Little Yi, Little Gu, you two investigate the people around Du Juan. Don’t dismiss their relatives, friends, and colleagues.”

“Understood.”

Lin Yi replied,

“Brother Li, when I was checking their company’s information, I found that Song Deyuan’s company and a company called Sheng Ke are working on a project together. If possible, 1 suggest investigating this company too.”

“Alright, I’ll do it.” Li Xianghui said.

“The tasks have been a.s.signed. Everyone, go and do your work. Try to find clues as soon as possible.”

“Yes!”

Everyone walked out of the office while yawning. It was obvious that they had not rested well for the past few days.

Lin Yi could still hold on, but the rest couldn’t. They were going to find a place to sleep before the investigation.

“Brother Lin!”

When Lin Yi came out, he happened to see Zhang Peng and Zhang Zixin.

“Are you going out?”

Seeing that the two of them were dressed neatly, Lin Yi asked casually.

“It’s the same Tesla case from that day. The results of the third-party test came out. They said that there was nothing wrong with the car’s braking system. It was caused by the owner’s improper handling.”

“No problem?! Where did they do the check?”

On the day of the accident, he had already tried it. There was definitely something wrong with the car. There was definitely something fishy about this outcome.

“It’s a report from the official quality inspection department. The female car owner has objections to this, so she called the police again.”

“Aren’t they obviously still trying to bully her?”

“You can’t say that. After all, the official test results are out. It might be because of that woman.” Zhang Peng thought for a moment. “It might really be a scam.”

Lin Yi patted Zhang Peng’s shoulder and said earnestly,

“The world may not be as bad as you think, but it’s not as good as you think either.”

Lin Yi’s words woke them up.

“Brother Lin, you mean…”

“It’s fine as long as you understand. Don’t say it out loud,” Lin Yi said.

“Let’s go. Since 1 have nothing to do, I’ll go with you to take a look.”

After dealing with Song Deyuan’s case for the past few days, Lin Yi felt that it was time for him to get his mind off it.

“That’s good. With you around, the problem will probably be resolved smoothly. Otherwise, they’ll try to argue with us again.”

“Let’s go and take a look.”

The three of them got into the car and drove toward the Tesla 4S store.

At the same time, a large group of people surrounded the entrance of the 4S shop.

Other than the onlookers, there were also a few car owners who came over to defend their rights. The scene was even more intense than the last time.

However, the person in charge of the 4S shop, Li Donglin, did not appear. Instead, he sat on the sofa in the shop as he spoke to Mark.

As for the matters outside, they were handed over to the others in the shop.

“These people are really too much. Don’t they know their place? They still want to fight me?”

“Director Li, I’m really impressed,” Mark said.

“Without you, we would be at a disadvantage.”

Li Donglin blew on the hot coffee.

“The police were there at the time, and I still dared to let them do the examination. That’s how confident I was. I’ve known the leaders of the quality inspection department for many years. All 1 have to do is say a word to them to deal with such a small matter.”

Mark gave him a thumbs up. He was very impressed with Li Donglin.

At this moment, the security guard in the shop jogged over.

“President Li, the people outside are still unwilling to let it go. They said that they won’t accept that quality inspection report and are still making a fuss outside.”

“How annoying. Looks like they won’t know pain until we hit them.”

Li Donglin put down his coffee and stood up.

“I’ll go out and take a look. I’m sure I’ll be able to deal with them.”

Then, Li Donglin and Ma Ke walked out.

Seeing the two of them come out, the people who came to defend their rights and watch the show surrounded him, but they were stopped outside by the security guards in the shop.

“Are you guys done? The report is already out. It’s your fault for not handling the cars well.. You still want to scam us? Do you believe that 1’11 sue you now?!”
