Dear Officer Zhuang

Chapter 107 Not even a second

They went back to the banquet hall.

The banquet hall was dead.

Several people saw them coming back and asked, "Any new discoveries?"

Wen Mi shook her head: "No."

Someone sneered: "Do you really expect her to make new discoveries and catch the murderer? Has she found any clues about the murderer after tossing around for so long? Do you still have hope in her? She was praised a few times, I don’t know how many catties I have, I really think I am a policeman, I think I can catch the murderer. You are also following her, don’t you understand?”

Everyone else had the same opinion as this person, especially when they heard that Wen Mi had been out for so long and still hadn't found anything new, they felt that this person was right.

Gao You was very angry, and wanted to argue with this person, but was held back by Wen Mi.

She shook her head towards Gao You, signaling with her eyes that she should focus on important things.

When the two of them went to find Hu Ruiquan, they had to pass Shi Zongqi first.

Shi Zongqi took her mobile phone and kept fiddling with it.

Wen Mi asked her in a low voice: "Shi Zongqi, did you cancel the blocked mobile phone signal just now?"

Shi Zongqi frowned, tapped his fingers on the keyboard of the phone quickly, and replied without looking at her: "No."

Wen Mi was taken aback: "No? Haven't you canceled the blocked mobile phone signal for a minute?"

"Well, not for a second." Shi Zongqi said coldly.

Wen Mi and Gao You exchanged glances in astonishment.

If Shi Zongqi hadn't canceled the blocked mobile phone signal, how could she and Zhuang Xun have a video call?
"Did something happen? Did you make a phone call?" Shi Zongqi was busy with the line of code in his hand before he had time to ask the two of them.

"No."

"No."

Wen Mi and Gao You shook their heads in denial respectively.

Since Shi Zongqi hadn't canceled the blocked mobile phone signal, it's better for the two of them not to talk too much, so as not to cause unnecessary incidents.

"Oh." Shi Zongqi didn't bother to ask any more questions, so he lowered his head and continued to work on her work.

"How is your progress?" Wen Mi asked again with a guilty conscience.

"No progress, hard to understand." Shi Zongqi sighed lightly.

Wen Mi also said "oh".

Someone nearby heard Shi Zongqi's words, and sneered: "One or two are unreliable! They are all bragging, but in actual operation, they are completely exposed!"

Shi Zongqi grabbed the glass on the table, and dropped it precisely in front of the man. The man was so frightened that his face was as pale as paper, and he took several steps back.

"What are you forcing Lai Lai? You have a mouth, and you are the only one who can speak. If you can speak like that, use your mouth to catch the murderer and cancel the blocked mobile phone signal!" Shi Zongqi looked like ghosts and gods were not afraid violent posture.

She slid her fingers over the people in the banquet hall: "You people, apart from hiding here and shouting in your heart that I'm so scared, I'm so scared, what else have you done? What's the use of you? They ran up and down I'm trying to find clues about the murderer."

She pointed at Wen Mi and Gao You, and pointed her thumb back at herself.

"I, anyway, have been trying to find a way to unblock the mobile phone signal here. At least the three of us are not sitting here waiting to die. You people who only sit here waiting to die, you still have the face to laugh at us? Keep it Use some strength, and go to the murderer!"

After Shi Zongqi finished speaking, she continued to sit on the chair and operate her mobile phone regardless of everyone's reaction.

Those who were scolded by Shi Zongqi pointed at their noses did not dare to say a word, they could only silently swallow their grievances in their stomachs.

Wen Mi and Gao You secretly praised Shi Zongqi in their hearts at the same time, and went to find Hu Ruiquan.

When there was such a commotion just now, Hu Ruiquan stayed in the corner of the banquet hall without saying a word.

It stands to reason that, as the organizer of the banquet, he should come out to smooth things over and appease everyone's emotions.

However, Hu Ruiquan gave the impression that he was the one who most needed to be appeased.

Wen Mi feels even more that the direction Zhuang Xun pointed out is a very big breakthrough.

"Mr. Hu," Wen Mi stood still in front of Hu Ruiquan, "We have something to talk to you alone."

Hu Ruiquan looked at Wen Mi wearily, then at Gao You: "What's the matter?"

"Take a step to talk." Wen Mi pointed to the corridor outside the banquet hall.

Hu Ruiquan shook his head as soon as he saw the deserted corridor: "No, no, let's talk about it here."

"If you don't mind letting everyone know that you have something to do with the murder case, we can talk about it here." Wen Mi said.

Hu Ruiquan's eyes were wide open, and emotions such as shock, suspicion, disbelief, and fear intertwined appeared in his eyes.

He walked out of the banquet hall first without saying a word, Wen Mi and Gao You followed behind him.

When he arrived outside the banquet hall, Hu Ruiquan couldn't wait to lower his voice and asked, "What do you mean by what you just said!"

"Mr. Hu, why on earth did you organize this banquet? Did you already know something?" Wen Mi also asked him in a low voice.

"What did I know a long time ago? What could I have known a long time ago? Did you find out something?" Hu Ruiquan asked impatiently.

"Mr. Hu, you haven't answered my question yet." Wen Mi looked at him.

"I've answered you! I've said it all, I don't have anything..." Hu Ruiquan suddenly understood: "You mean why I organized this banquet. It's not why, it's just some partners who haven't seen each other for a long time I got in touch, I just happened to be free this weekend, so I gathered everyone together to get in touch with each other."

"Mr. Hu's partners must be more than the dozen or so present here. Why did you choose them instead of other partners?" Wen Mi asked.

"I sent invitations to the banquet to many people, but no one else came, so they came." Hu Ruiquan said.

"Then why did you ask Gao You to invite me among all the partners? I'm not your partner." Wen Mi stared at Hu Ruiquan and said.

"I told you that when you first came here. I read your press release, and I really admire you. I want to get to know you..."

Wen Mi interrupted him: "Since you really want to know me, why don't you invite me and Gao You alone? Why do you want to bring us and your partners together?"

"Aren't I afraid to invite you alone, because you feel uncomfortable. There are more people and more lively, so you can feel more comfortable." Hu Ruiquan responded fluently.

All his answers came out of his mouth.It seemed more like he was talking nonsense than the truth.

Gao You also saw it.

She said: "Uncle Hu, don't talk about it with us. Why did you organize this banquet and why did you choose these people to participate in the banquet? If you tell us earlier, maybe we can find out sooner. Murderer, everyone get out of here early."
