Detective: Open your eyes, I am handcuffed in the interrogation room.

Chapter 516 Invitation? Not going

When Chen Yi received Meng Yi's call, he had not fallen asleep yet, but he had turned off the lights and lay down.

The room was very quiet, making the ringtone very harsh. Chen Yi sat up suddenly as if by reflex, thinking that a call in the early morning was most likely not a good thing.

Fang Shuyu beside him was also awake and opened her eyes when she heard the phone ringing.

"You're calling so late, is there a case?" Fang Shuyu reached out and turned on the night light.

It is common for the police to receive phone calls in the early morning, and 99% of them are related to cases. Normally, no one would choose to call someone else's mobile phone in the early morning.

Anyway, it was either a case or an urgent matter, so Fang Shuyu was worried.

"It's Meng Yi calling."

"Why did he call me so late?"

Chen Yi was surprised for a moment and answered the call.

"Hello? Lao Meng."

He and Meng Yi are already very familiar with each other.

Meng Yi: "You haven't slept yet?"

You can tell whether a person is asleep or not by listening to the sound of the phone. If you are woken up by the phone call in a dream, no matter how hard you try to keep a normal tone, the person on the other end of the phone can actually notice it.

Obviously, Chen Yi was very sober.

"Not yet. During the holidays."

Meng Yi said "oh" and recounted in detail what happened tonight, focusing on the woman's skills and the gold-stamped envelope.

"Invitation letter? What invitation letter?" Chen Yi had no signs at all and had never heard anyone mention it.

Meng Yi held the envelope in his hand and said, "I don't know. There is a wax seal on it. I didn't open it. It's quite exquisite. The inviter is probably not an ordinary person. You have no impression of this woman?"

Chen Yi: “Not at all.”

As far as I can remember, a woman with such agile skills can only be a police officer, but it is impossible for my colleague to do such a weird thing.

Meng Yi: "That's strange, there's no trick here, right? Think carefully and see if you have offended anyone."

Chen Yi: "I have offended many people."

"That's true." Meng Yi agreed. Being a police officer is a job that offends people. The arrested criminals, including their families, may feel resentful. "What should I do? I'll help you check it out?"

Chen Yi: "No, I'll go to Lizhi in the morning."

It's just an invitation letter. Let's see what's going on first. I can't be sure whether the person here has bad intentions or not.

Meng Yi: "Okay, I'll wait for you."

After the call ended, both parties agreed to meet and talk.

Chen Yi repeated what Meng Yi said to Fang Shuyu, who immediately frowned, "Where did he come from? You really don't know him? Think about it again."

What she meant was that before becoming a policeman, Chen Yi had a rich emotional life and perhaps had a girlfriend who knew Kung Fu.

Chen Yi shook his head: "From what Meng Yi said, I'm sure he doesn't know him. Let's go to sleep first. After breakfast in the morning, we'll go check the surveillance and the invitation letter."

Fang Shuyu: "Okay."

Chen Yi turned off the lights and fell asleep. After closing his eyes, his mind was not idle, thinking about this sudden incident.

What a coincidence, she had just returned to Yangcheng, as if she was waiting for him to come back.

The woman was very beautiful, had a good figure, had a strong aura, was proficient in fighting, and was ruthless. The invitation letter...

All the key words flashed in his mind, and Chen Yi couldn't judge who this person was. If he was a family member of the suspect, then there were too many possibilities.

Apart from the distant past, Jiang Mingfu's connections were beyond the reach of ordinary people. The timing was also reasonable. Could it be that he came for Jiang Mingfu? But what about the invitation letter?
As he was thinking, Chen Yi gradually fell asleep.

After getting up at dawn, the two of them had a leisurely breakfast at home. Chen Zhiyao and his wife did not mention going to work again, and then drove to Ritz-Carlton, Residence Inn by Marriott.

The morning at Lizhi is the quietest time of the day. At night clubs, which are open only at night, the hustle and bustle has subsided, and the air is filled with lingering warmth and passion.

There was no possibility of having guests, as the waiters were cleaning and continuing to prepare for tonight's carnival.

The hall was very quiet, with only the sound of staff walking back and forth. Meng Yi called the bartender to serve the drinks and handed the invitation letter to Chen Yi intact.

Chen Yi didn't waste any words and tore it open directly.

There are two things inside.

The first one is the invitation letter.

Holding it in his hand, Chen Yi did not read the contents immediately, as his eyes were attracted by the workmanship of the invitation letter.

It uses high-quality matte paper with a smooth touch. The paper is outlined with fine light gold lines to form an intricate and delicate border, within which is a hand-painted pattern.

It is a scene that combines classical and modern elements. It has the grandeur of European palaces and the agility of modern architecture. The painting skills are very exquisite.

Chen Yi touched it and found no traces of machine, it was indeed handmade.

Such an exquisite invitation can be called a work of art, which directly shows the extraordinary identity of the inviter.

In the center of the invitation, the invitation information is recorded in smooth and elegant handwritten fonts.

The location is Sendong Island, and the time is one month later.

The information is very incomplete, with only the key location and time, nothing else.

Further down is the official invitation: It will be our greatest honor to have you join us for this wonderful feast of dreams on this dazzling island night.

After reading it, Chen Yi turned the invitation over. On the back was a hand-painted ink painting dotted with a few lines of handwritten poetry.

I folded flowers when I met the messenger and sent them to the people in Longtou. I had nothing in the south of the Yangtze River, so I wanted to give them a sprig of spring.

Nothing special, just ancient poetry at the elementary school student level.

"Sendong Island cannot be found on the map." Fang Shuyu beside him put down his phone.

Chen Yi didn't say anything and picked up something else.

"Haha, interesting."

He guessed it, and it was indeed the geographical coordinates of Sendong Island, which was located roughly in the waters northwest of Haizhou, which could be seen by satellites but not on maps.

The fact that a place cannot be found on a map does not mean that it is not a national territory. Some places that are not widely publicized, such as uninhabited islands, may not be included in regular maps.

Compared to the invitation letter, the coordinates of the island were drawn rather sloppily. If it weren't for the longitude and latitude attached, it would be impossible to find it.

Chen Yi judged that this was the work of two people, which means that the person who made the invitation letter and the person who marked the coordinates were not the same person. The difference was very obvious in comparison.

If it is the same person, you can add the coordinates to the invitation letter to make it more refined and sincere.

"It seems that the only people who could be related to that place are Shen Xiaochang and his gang?"

He remembered this person.

I remember that when we were on Qifeng Island, Shen Xiaochang led his gunmen to the South Country, and the Sendong Island mentioned in the invitation letter was very close to the South Country.

"And there's An Yinmu."

No one knows whether Anyinmu went to Bagan or not. Even if he did, he could have changed his route. The countries bordering the south are very chaotic. The Golden Triangle is a good example.

Could it be that An Yinmu was not idle even after going abroad?

If he really came for him, Chen Yi could only think of An Yinmu and Shen Xiaochang. Another possibility was that he was a criminal police officer, which was similar to the invitation from Eying Yunlu.

Thinking of this, Chen Yi put the invitation letter and geographic coordinates back and handed them to Fang Shuyu: "Put it away first, let's send it to the Municipal Bureau to extract fingerprints. That woman didn't wear gloves, did she, Lao Meng?"

Meng Yi replied, "No." Fang Shuyu took it and put it in her bag, then asked, "Are you going?"

Chen Yi smiled and said, "Go? I have nothing to do. An inexplicable woman sent me an inexplicable invitation letter, asking me to go to an isolated island 2,600 kilometers away for an inexplicable reason to attend a so-called wonderful feast. Would a normal person go?"

"What do you think, Lao Meng?"

Meng Yi poured a glass of wine and pushed it over, also laughing: "It's really weird. Normal people won't go there. What if they get sold? Of course, if Captain Chen goes there, who knows who will be sold."

Chen Yi picked up the wine glass and clinked it with the other person's. It seemed to be the first time he drank alcohol that morning. It didn't matter since he was suspended from work.

"Come on, take me to see the surveillance."

"Row."

In the monitoring room, employees retrieved the surveillance video from the early morning.

Lizhi’s surveillance system is very complete and can capture the entire process, including how the woman came in and left.

Chen Yi took the computer and looked at it twice, his expression slightly solemn.

The layman watches the excitement while the expert watches the details. The woman in the video simply made three moves, but both the moves and the strength had reached a very high level.

Unfortunately, the movements were too simple to identify their source.

To deal with ordinary people, a simple two-handed approach is enough and quite casual.

The point is... the woman cut the man's neck with a broken glass bottle, which is not something an ordinary person can do.

Too confident.

If it was shallow, it might not even hit the target; if it was deep, it might directly cut the artery. The woman's control was quite precise, and she just cut the vein, causing only superficial injuries to achieve the effect of deterrence and punishment.

Chen Yi is very clear about the difficulty. It is not luck, she is very skilled.

This means...

"She has killed someone." Chen Yi took his right hand away from the mouse and leaned back in his chair.

Meng Yi was not surprised: "He looks like a ruthless character. I should have sent someone to follow him."

Chen Yi didn't say anything. He asked Fang Shuyu for the invitation letter and looked at it again. In the end, he still decided to ignore it, but he had to investigate this woman.

Let's check it again.

"Meng, we're leaving first." Chen Yi stood up and said goodbye, "Don't worry about this matter, just pretend nothing happened."

"Okay." Meng Yi nodded. "If you need any help, feel free to call me. Oh, by the way, I have another question. Why do you think she asked me to pass it on? Is it because she knows that we know each other?"

Chen Yi thought about it and shook his head: "I don't know, maybe. Didn't she say it herself? Lizhi is the largest place in Yangcheng. As the boss, you will certainly receive more attention."

Meng Yi laughed: "People are afraid of being famous just like pigs are afraid of getting fat. Never mind. If she comes again, I will definitely arrest her and call you right away."

Chen Yi did not respond, which was considered as his consent.

After leaving Lizhi, the two rushed directly to the Yangcheng City Bureau and delivered the envelope including the invitation letter and the coordinate drawing to the Technical Investigation Department. They then called He Shixin to the office and asked him to check the woman who sent the invitation letter at his leisure.

I always feel that this woman is a time bomb, and it would be best if we can find her to avoid any trouble.

He Shixin didn't quite understand, and Chen Yi didn't say much. He just asked him to check and notify him when there was any news.

"Okay, I understand." He Shixin agreed, "Take a look at these documents, some of them need signature."

Chen Yi: "Are you stupid? I'm still on vacation... Oh no, I'm on suspension. What are you signing? Don't make trouble."

He Shixin: “Uh…”

He almost forgot that the other party had indeed lost the right to sign and needed to wait for reinstatement.

"Okay, then I'll get busy."

The door is closed.

They had to go to the provincial department later, so they were not in a hurry and started talking about the invitation letter.

At present, it is judged that the invitation is private and the name "Chen Yi" should not be included in the invitation letter. But since the woman was able to get the invitation letter, she should have a good relationship with the host.

Even, he is the person who distributes the invitation letters.

So does she have control over the list? Do the hosts know about this?

The plot is somewhat familiar.

"From what you said, it looks a lot like Chen Shiran and Zhong Muping." Fang Shuyu also realized it.

In the case of Eying Yunlu, it was Zhong Muping who personally invited Chen Yi, but Chen Shiran, who was half the owner at the time, did not know about it.

Is it going to happen again?
Are there no new tricks for these weird people? (Or has the author run out of ideas?)
Chen Yi lit a cigarette and said, "Let's analyze it. If it is similar to the plot of Eying Yunlu, then this woman is using me as a gun."

"You've seen the surveillance footage. This person is not a simple person. She is calm, ruthless, and not stupid. Even she needs to resort to trickery to seek help from outside. I'm afraid that Sendong Island is a dangerous place."

Fang Shuyu said: "Just notify the local police."

Chen Yi: "What did the police say? It's just a guess. Are they going to send the coast guard to surround the island? What if it's some big shot's birthday? This is a complete misunderstanding."

Celebrating birthday?

Fang Shuyu burst out laughing. This was probably not possible.

"Since I've decided not to go, there's no point in thinking about this." She said, "Do you think she'll show up again?"

Chen Yi asked back: "Why did you appear again?"

Fang Shuyu said calmly, "She has a good figure, good looks, and knows kung fu. She personally sent the invitation letter. If you don't go, she will invite you again, right?"

Chen Yi turned to look at Fang Shuyu and understood.

"Are you jealous? I really don't know who she is."

Fang Shuyu smiled: "If you go, will you take me with you?"

Chen Yi: “No.”

Fang Shuyu's smile turned dangerous.

Chen Yi explained: "I really can't take you. Who knows if it's a dangerous place or a delicious meal waiting for me over there? How can I take you with me? Don't worry, I definitely won't go."

"It's 2,600 kilometers. I have to take a plane, a car, and a ship. Why would I go to a place like that when I have nothing better to do?"

"If it's 26 kilometers, maybe I'll consider it."

Fang Shuyu patted his shoulder and said, "Twenty-six kilometers... take me with you?"

Chen Yi: "..."

Women are very difficult to understand.

But then again, the makeup on the woman at Lizhi was a bit heavy, and the lighting was a bit dim, so I couldn't see her exact appearance clearly, but her figure was really top-notch, not inferior to Fang Shuyu.

In fact, his legs are longer than Fang Shuyu's, and his entire body from the neck down is legs.

Chen Yi was very sure that he had never seen a woman with such a high recognition rate, let alone knew her.

"Let's go see our dad."

Chen Yi changed the subject.

"Hurry up, go find him and ask him what's going on. He even suspended me from my job. I have to have a good talk with him. He didn't reward me after investigating the case but fined me instead. It's so unfair and disheartening..."

Looking at Chen Yi's leaving back, Fang Shuyu blinked and smiled sweetly, as charming as a blooming flower.
