Case Seven Rose
Twenty-three patchwork (Part 2)
"Kill a sneak attack——"

Gu Xing was forced to take up some conference study quota that was leaked out after Lao Gao was criticized in Beijing. He tormented in the city's auditorium from early morning to afternoon, unable to move. It was not until lunchtime that he strolled back to the Municipal Bureau compound dizzy and dazed. He collapsed in the conference room with pain all over his body, and hurriedly joined the meeting room where they had just come across each other to exchange information for the interrogation of Hong Xinyu.

Captain Gu had been in a study session for a whole day. His eyes were dazzled by the dense words. He took the written record that Xiao Letian had hurriedly prepared and scanned it at a glance. With his eyes squinted and his gaze drooped, he vaguely searched to see if the gossip he had heard was recorded on the paper. Then he casually put down the still warm page and moved it to Yin Guiping who had been waiting for a long time. He held up his head and raised his chin to glance at Jiang Mo: "No record. That means that kid is not serious... What did Luo Shi say?"

"What else can I say? Just make up a story... saying that he has a friend who lives in the Fangzheng community opposite Hong Xinyu's small drugstore - when Hong Xinyu was arrested, wasn't there a person in the community who attempted suicide by jumping off a building? Luo Shi said that his so-called friend just came to watch the fun, and by chance he saw people gathered in front of the small drugstore, and took a photo when no one was paying attention. When he was chatting with him about the bar supply business yesterday morning, he talked about the photo he saw at that time -"

Jiang Mo took out his phone and handed the blurred photo to Gu Xing for a glance. "He also showed me the photo of Hong Xinyu. The time and location are fine. Fangzheng Community is not far from the liquor wholesale market. The information he got when he was talking about business is barely reasonable... As for who this so-called friend is... that's hard to say."

Yin Guiping's understanding of Luo Shi was limited to the brief description in the file. He listened to the people in the room with a half-understanding, and summarized it in a concise sentence while holding up the file: "So after all the questions, regardless of whether there are any truths, this Luo Shi really has no real connection with Hong Xinyu?"

"On the surface, it looks like everything is going well, but what's the real situation? I guess you can only believe half of the interview and interrogation records on these pieces of paper... Both sides are shrewd people with smooth tongues. You deal with these bastards all day long, but you don't know that they won't cry even when they see a coffin. Now someone who is trying to cover up the truth has thrown out a puzzle piece, but the two pieces obviously don't fit together."

Gu Xing stretched himself lazily and paused for a few seconds, tilting his head to look at the surveillance screen that Xiao Letian had been fiddling with for a long time. He raised his eyelids and stared at the pale and somewhat blurred profile in the corner of the quarrel scene on the screen. "What's more, the key person who may be able to link these two people together is now missing and no one knows where he is hiding..."

Yin Guiping got caught up in this mess for the sake of the hidden performance of those spare parts, and he was full of regrets. Now, a day and a night had passed, and he had just barely understood the general situation of the case in Sheng'an City. He scratched his head twice when listening to Gu Xing's words: "When Hong Xinyu was present, Luo Shi basically never showed up. He only showed up once when something happened to Tang Jia or Roujiamo's sister. As a result, he just got the news from Jiang Zhe to keep an eye on Hong Xinyu, and this suspected link from Wan Dushan to the small clinic was reported missing..."

"Without the confirmation link in the middle, Luo Shi was practicing Tai Chi outside, while Hong Xinyu was hiding in the interrogation room, thinking about how to get rid of the junk he had on hand—"

Wen Chen frowned and looked at the surveillance screen on the projection screen behind Xiao Letian. Jiang Mo slapped him on the back of his head before he realized that his ferocious eyes when he was focused almost made Officer Xiao sweat. He raised his hand to signal, then turned around and continued Captain Yin's complaints, "But now he can't deny it. Except for the recent supply line, all other contacts who had contact with him are basically in the Second Institute waiting for the court to make a final judgment... After Tang Jia's whereabouts were unknown, it was just a good opportunity for him to talk nonsense. Try to find someone unlucky to take the blame."

"It is almost certain that Liang Ming once provided Hong Xinyu with the source of goods. After all, the ingredients of the goods they sold are all there... The problem is that if he wants to drag someone into this, why not just drag Liang Ming into this? There is no point in bothering Luo Shi, except for wasting time - and he never explained where the goods with strange ingredients in his hands came from from beginning to end... Judging from the situation, it is obvious that this new boss is more ruthless than Liang Ming." Gu Xing was still grinning as he glanced at Yin Guiping's face of deep hatred and deep resentment, and the next second he rubbed his face with a lawsuit-like look on his face: "... dragging Luo Shi into this is equivalent to dragging Liang Ming into this, but because of some things he dared not directly explain the substantial evidence to pin the person as the culprit, so he could only poke and poke while Tang Jia was away, trying to alert Liang Ming and encourage him to react..."

"Due to Tang Jia's disappearance, Hong Xinyu could be barely ruled out, but now... we have to drag him back into the list of suspects..."

Jiang Mo turned her head and looked at Xiao Letian's fingertips that were ready to make an "OK" sign. She snorted and mentioned the missing case, then waved her hand to bring the topic back. She pouted and sat opposite her master with her arms folded in front of her. "Luo Shi is a more cautious and slick guy than Liang Ming. I don't know what he did when he went to Liang Ming's place to drink. Just as Hong Xinyu revealed the Shanqian Bar, he prepared the surveillance video and took away all his assets."

Gu Xing frowned and asked, "Have you seen the surveillance technology provided this time?"

"I've seen it. There aren't any signs of editing this time, but the dates are intermittent and not complete at all." Jiang Mo shrugged his shoulders and sighed helplessly, "Luo Shi is such an annoying person who pretends to be stupid. Anything he can give us must be something he can give... He sent us a bouquet of flowers for no reason before, along with that unclear USB flash drive, and the surveillance footage he gave us this time is almost the same—"

Jiang Mo was halfway through his words when he picked up a chair and moved closer to Xiao Letian's laptop with the projected screen.

Wen Chen, who was standing nearby, suddenly raised his head and asked bluntly, "What kind of flowers did Luo Shi send you?"

But Jiang Mo was holding the uncomfortable stool and didn't hear a word. She glanced at Wen Chen who was staring at her and moved her lips a few times. She turned around and was about to ask back, but Gu Xing on the opposite side put his arm up and held up a folder to half block Wen Chen, raised his chin and nodded lightly at Jiang Mo who was about to explain the content of the surveillance video.

"——Talk about your own business. What is Luo Shi telling us to investigate this time?"

"The spring of the past is long gone, but the coming year is bright."
