Attending ex-girlfriend's wedding, arresting the groom's officer on the spot

Lu Chuan continued to make arrangements: "Zhang Hui, Wang Shuai, you continue to investigate Li Qing's partners to see what the dispute between them is like and whether there is a motive for murder. Yang Lin, Yang Sen, you conduct a comprehensive investigation of Li Qing's flying car modification factory to look for clues related to the case, such as whether there are suspicious bloodstains, murder weapons, etc. Zhang Kai, you conduct further examinations on Li Qing's body to see if you can find other evidence related to the case."

"The most critical situation is to sort out Li Qing's interpersonal relationships, investigate his customer base, procurement channels, upstream and downstream relationships, etc. All aspects cannot be left out. The suspect must have a motive for murder, and we must find the motive clearly, so that there will be a breakthrough."

As for why no one reported Li Qing's death for such a long time, the main reason for his disappearance was rational. He was the only one in Haizhou City and his main relatives were not here.

After receiving the order, Zhang Hui and Wang Shuai once again conducted an in-depth investigation of Li Qing's car modification factory. This time, they carefully studied Li Qing's customer list and found that it recorded the contact information and vehicle information of many people. Zhang Hui frowned as he looked at the list and said to Wang Shuai, "These customers are the most important clues at the moment. We will definitely find something if we visit them one by one." Wang Shuai nodded and responded, "That's right, Li Qing doesn't have many enemies, so the conflict is probably due to business dealings. These customers may know some inside information."

They first contacted a client named Chen Yu on the list. Chen Yu seemed a little surprised when he received the call, but he still cooperated and agreed to meet at a place. Zhang Hui and Wang Shuai met Chen Yu in a cafe. Chen Yu was wearing a casual racing suit and his hair was a little messy. He looked like an avid car fan.

Zhang Hui said politely, "Hello, Mr. Chen. We are investigating Li Qing's case. As his old client, you should be familiar with him, right?"

Chen Yu sighed, "Li Qing, I've known him for a long time. He's a quiet guy. Every time I go to him to modify a turbocharger, I'm the one doing the talking while he keeps his head down to work. But his craftsmanship is really good."

Wang Shuai then asked, "Have you noticed anything unusual about him recently? For example, a change in his mood, or a conflict with someone?"

Chen Yu thought for a while and said, "I don't think he's anything special. He's always been like that, not very talkative. His business is going well, and many people come to him for modification. His fees are reasonable, too. I haven't heard that he has had any conflicts with anyone."

Zhang Hui asked again: "Do you know if he has received any special orders recently, or has contact with new customers?"

Chen Yu shook his head: "I'm not sure about this. Every time I go there, I make an appointment in advance, hand the car to him when I arrive, and pick it up after the modification. I haven't paid attention to his other business situations."

Zhang Hui and Wang Shuai were a little disappointed that they did not get much valuable information from the conversation with Chen Yu, but they did not give up and continued to contact the next customer. The next person they met was Liu Yang, a middle-aged man who drove a heavily modified sports car to the agreed location.

After Zhang Hui and Wang Shuai explained their purpose, Liu Yang said, "Li Qing, I think he is quite reliable. He modified the turbocharger of my sports car, which greatly improved the power. Although he doesn't talk much, he is serious and responsible."

Wang Shuai asked: "Mr. Liu, during your contact with him, did you find that he had any worries? Or did he mention anyone or anything that made him worried?"

Liu Yang recalled and said, "I haven't heard him say that. But I went to his factory once and saw him talking on the phone with someone. He looked unhappy and spoke in a low voice. I didn't dare to ask more questions at the time." Zhang Hui's eyes lit up: "Do you remember when you saw him? What are the characteristics of that person's voice?"

Liu Yang scratched his head. "I don't remember the exact time, probably more than a month ago. I didn't hear the man's voice clearly, I just heard Li Qing kept saying things like 'give me some more time', it felt like he was begging that person."

This clue gave Zhang Hui and Wang Shuai some clues, and they continued to ask questions, but Liu Yang could not provide more information. After leaving Liu Yang, they visited several customers one after another, and most of them said that Li Qing was honest and had good craftsmanship, but they did not find any new clues.

During the visit, Zhang Hui and Wang Shuai also noticed that although Li Qing's car modification factory was small in scale, it was doing good business. They asked the surrounding businesses, and a convenience store owner said: "Li Qing is a very capable guy. Many people drive to see him every day. He doesn't spend money recklessly. He seems to know how to live."

Zhang Hui and Wang Shuai also investigated Li Qing's financial situation and found that he did have a lot of savings, and that every income and expenditure was normal, with no obvious signs of financial disputes.

After returning to the police station, Zhang Hui and Wang Shuai reported the investigation to Lu Chuan. Zhang Hui said somewhat frustratedly: "Captain Lu, after visiting so many clients, most of them said that Li Qing had no enemies and his business was going well. Only Liu Yang mentioned that he saw Li Qing talking on the phone with someone more than a month ago, and he seemed to be asking the other party to give him more time, but the details were not clear."

Lu Chuan pondered for a moment and said, "This call is very suspicious. Continue to check Li Qing's call records to see who he contacted more than a month ago. In addition, expand the scope of the investigation to not only his customers, but also the suppliers and partners who have business dealings with his factory. We must check them all."

Zhang Hui and Wang Shuai once again devoted themselves to the intense investigation. They carefully checked Li Qing's call records and found that more than a month ago, he frequently contacted an unfamiliar number. After investigation, the number belonged to a salesperson of a financial company named Zhao Qiang.

Zhang Hui and Wang Shuai immediately found Zhao Qiang. Zhao Qiang was a young man in a suit and tie. When he saw the police coming to him, his eyes were a little evasive.

Zhang Hui asked seriously, "Zhao Qiang, what is your relationship with Li Qing? Why did he contact you so frequently more than a month ago?"

Zhao Qiang hesitated for a moment and said, "I... I'm a salesperson at a financial company. Li Qing asked me about the loan."

Wang Shuai asked, "Consulting about loans? Then why did he ask you to give him more time on the phone?"

Zhao Qiang's forehead was covered with cold sweat: "This... This is because his loan application was not approved. He hopes that I can help him think of a solution and give him another chance." (End of this chapter)
