Dear Officer Zhuang

Chapter 106 Satisfied yet dissatisfied
Wen Mi secretly glanced at him for a while, and said, "I'll take you to the crime scene on the first floor."

"Not for now." Zhuang Xun said.

Wen Mi's expression brightened: "You already have a clue?"

Zhuang Xun didn't answer her question, but asked, "Who organized the banquet?"

"Gao You's father's friend, Hu Ruiquan, the owner of this resort."

"Are you all invited by Hu Ruiquan to go to the resort or to attend the banquet?"

Wen Mi nodded: "Yes."

"Why did Hu Ruiquan invite Deng Xu and Dai Shangxin's family?" Zhuang Xun asked very calmly.

"They are all partners of Hu Ruiquan."

"Are there many people at the banquet?"

"Not many, just a dozen or so." Wen Mi counted silently in her heart: "Including Hu Ruiquan, there are about 13 people in total."

"Except for Hu Ruiquan, you and your friend, the rest of these thirteen people are Hu Ruiquan's partners?" Zhuang Xun confirmed.

"Yes, Hu Ruiquan introduced me and Gao You, all of whom he has worked with before." Wen Mi said.

"He introduced everyone to you?"

Wen Mi nodded again: "Yes."

"It's just an introduction, but didn't let you get to know them?" Zhuang Xun asked again.

Wen Mi shook her head: "No."

Zhuang Xun pondered: "I can understand that Hu Ruiquan invited your friends, but why did he invite you? Except you and your friends, the rest are all his partners. Have you worked with Hu Ruiquan too?"

"No." Wen Mi said: "Gao You said, Hu Ruiquan had read the press release I wrote, and wanted to know me very much, so she specially asked her to take me to the resort."

"He wanted to get to know you because of the press release you wrote. He could invite you and your friends alone. Why did he invite you to a business banquet full of his partners?" Zhuang Xun analyzed.

"Actually, I didn't want to understand this either." Wen Mi confessed.

She asked, "Do you suspect that Hu Ruiquan is related to the murder?"

"Whether he has anything to do with the murder, I can't tell yet. I think he may know something and hide something."

Wen Mi and Gao You looked at each other in astonishment.

Wen Mi looked at Zhuang Xun in the video: "However, Hu Ruiquan looks more confused than us, and he is also very panicked why two dead people appeared one after another. He doesn't seem to be faking it."

Gao You nodded in agreement.

Zhuang Xun looked solemn: "After Dai Shangxin died, you returned to the banquet hall, and there was a note in the banquet hall. The note read: How long do you think you can live?"

Wen Mi: "Yes."

Zhuang Xun continued: "After Deng Xu's death, you returned to the banquet hall, and there was another note in the banquet hall. The note read: It's getting closer and closer, your death date."

Wen Mi nodded: "That's right."

"What if Hu Ruiquan knew that someone might be killed?" Zhuang Xun said slowly.

Wen Mi blinked in surprise.

Zhuang Xun's jaw line straightened: "In other words, what if these notes are all for Hu Ruiquan?"

He continued unhurriedly: "Then, Hu Ruiquan's panic must not be feigned, but from the heart."

Wen Mi was stunned and speechless for a long while.

She hadn't thought about it at all.

"The murderer is not killing people indiscriminately, but is very targeted. Whether it is the meat-flavored rice cake in Dai Shangxin's mouth, or the Pinocchio card in Deng Xu's mouth, most of them should point to the same thing, but This incident is very likely related to the murderer's motive for killing.

"Since the murderer is killing people in a targeted manner, and his targets seem to be at the banquet, then Hu Ruiquan, who is the organizer of the banquet, is very likely to know something.

"I suggest that you can talk to Hu Ruiquan. He is a businessman, and a businessman will definitely not waste his precious time doing something meaningless. Since he has brought you together and held this small private banquet, there must be some his purpose.

"You can ask him why he organized this party and what criteria he used to select the party guests. Maybe you can find some clues related to the murder." Zhuang Xun finished calmly and clearly.

Both Wen Mi and Gao You were enlightened.

Gao You was a little excited, she said to Wen Mi: "I just said why Uncle Hu insisted that I invite you to the resort! The original purpose is here! I was worried that he had a crush on you!"

Zhuang Xun: "..."

Zhuang Xun looked at Wen Mi in the video.

The girl frowned, still thinking about the case, with a serious and charming expression.

"I see, let's go talk to Hu Ruiquan now!" She met Zhuang Xun's eyes in the last video: "Now we can't find any other useful clues from the two deceased. With Hu Ruiquan as a breakthrough point, maybe we can really have a clue." Some discoveries."

Zhuang Xun nodded: "Yes."

"As expected, you are the most reliable!" Wen Mi showed a bright smile.

Fascinated by her smile, Zhuang Xun was stunned, and even his mind shook.

"Thanks……"

Before he finished his modest words, Wen Mi couldn't wait to interrupt him: "We're going to find Hu Ruiquan now! I'll talk to you later, bye!"

"bye……"

Zhuang Xun only said one word, and Wen Mi hung up the video call without him having time to look at her for a while.

Facing the darkened phone screen, Zhuang Xun sighed softly.

He is a little satisfied, but also very dissatisfied...

……

Wen Mi hung up the video call, took Gao You's hand and strode downstairs.

Halfway through, Gao You suddenly grabbed Wen Mi's hand forcefully, and stopped in her tracks.

"By the way, let's call the police first. Doesn't the phone have a signal now? My phone turned off automatically when it ran out of power." Gao You said.

"That's right." Only then did Wen Mi remember about calling the police.

Although they found a new breakthrough under Zhuang Xun's guidance, it must be safest to call the police first.

Wen Mi unlocked the phone with her fingerprint, and was about to call the police when she froze.

Her phone showed no signal again.

"What's going on? Why is there no signal again? The murderer blocked the signal again?" Wen Mi said.

"When you had a video call with Zhuang Xun just now, my mobile phone showed no signal. But my mobile phone turned off automatically soon. I don't know if I read it wrong." Gao You said that she had been wondering thing.

"Impossible." Wen Mi said: "Since Zhuang Xun can make a voice call and I can make a video call, at least it means that there must be a signal at that time."

She guessed: "Could it be that the murderer found out that Zong Qi had unblocked the signal, and immediately blocked the signal again?"

Gao You couldn't tell whether she really saw that her mobile phone showed no signal, or it was all her illusion.

She was distracted by Wen Mi in a daze: "It's very possible!"

　Zhuang Xun and Wen Mi have officially met via video call. Is it still far from knowing that they are not in the same time and space, ten years apart? (ω)
