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

Chapter 572: Finding a suspected breakthrough by force

The Municipal Bureau became lively.

Because of the large number of people, the detachment coordinated with the traffic police department to direct nearby traffic in advance, and large and small vehicles filled the entire street.

No one left Yangcheng, as everyone was notified, including Director Sun Yuanfa.

If we talk about suspicion, everyone is involved.

Jiang Fanlei, Meng Yi, Zuoqiu Anqing, Luo Bao... Anyone who appeared on the island in the middle of the lake that day, except Chen Yi himself and Fang Shuyu, had to meet the portrait.

Many copies of the portrait were made, and the detachment borrowed rooms from other departments to ensure speed.

In every room, high-definition cameras are facing the camera to ensure that any subtle changes in facial expressions can be captured, so that the Criminal Investigation Team can review them again after the incident to look for flaws.

The identity of the bones could not be confirmed. Chen Yi had actually given up in his heart. He could not wait any longer and needed to try other directions.

"Brother Chen, please give me some privilege to ask me first. I still have work to deal with." Sun Yuanfa was unwilling to queue and went to Chen Yi to use the back door.

He came over as soon as the Municipal Bureau called and was very cooperative.

Given his level, he could actually be a bit arrogant, perhaps because Chen Yi was in charge of the investigation and he didn't want to offend him.

"Director Sun, please." Chen Yi smiled and gestured for the other party to come into the room and receive him personally.

It doesn't matter who goes first.

The two men sat down and the police officer poured Sun Yuanfa a glass of water.

"I heard that Bai Gu's identity is still unknown?" Sun Yuanfa symbolically picked up the cup and chatted with Chen Yi.

Chen Yi was helpless: "It's difficult. This skeleton seems to have appeared out of thin air. There is no one who meets the requirements among the missing persons in the province. The scope of the cooperative investigation has been expanded to the whole country. There is little hope."

Sun Yuanfa sighed sympathetically, "When you encounter a problem, Brother Chen has something to do. What did you come here to ask this time? Do you have a direction?"

Chen Yi took the three portraits handed over by the police and said, "No questions, just look."

Sun Yuanfa was surprised: "See?"

Chen Yi displayed the portraits vertically one by one, so that everyone would raise their heads slightly when looking at the portraits, and the high-definition camera could capture the entire picture.

There is more than one camera, and the process is comprehensive, including body movements.

"Have you seen it?" Chen Yi asked.

Sun Yuanfa carefully read the three portraits, and tried to recall them seriously. Finally, he shook his head and said, "I have never seen this before. Who is this? Is this a simulated portrait of the skeleton?"

Chen Yi did not answer and told Sun Yuanfa that he could leave.

Sun Yuanfa didn't expect it to be so fast. It only took a few tens of seconds from entering the door to sitting down.

You came to the Municipal Bureau just to see the portrait?
He was a little confused. If they were going to identify a portrait, wouldn't it be better to just gather everyone together and watch the big screen? It would save time and effort. Whoever recognizes the person can raise their hand. Why make so much trouble?

However, Chen Yi naturally had his own considerations. He did not question it and quickly left the Municipal Bureau.

Next comes the rest of the group.

Eight rooms are being worked on simultaneously, so if you’re quick you can finish watching them all in one evening.

Chen Yi focused on the workers who built the museum, including Luo Bao and Zuoqiu Anqing. When faced with the three portraits, these people had similar reactions and expressed unfamiliarity with the women in the portraits.

No flaws have been found yet.

By evening, everyone on the island had finished looking at the portrait, and the video had been transferred to Chen Yi's computer.

Chen Yi asked everyone to go home and take a rest, while he stayed in the office and watched one video after another.

He looked at it very carefully, especially the facial expressions of each person when the portrait came out. He compared them repeatedly many times, trying to find the possibility that someone was deliberately hiding their emotions.

Fang Shuyu came and Chen Yi told her to go home and not to wait any longer.

late at night.

There are not many rooms with lights on in the Municipal Bureau, and the captain's office is one of them.

Chen Yi rubbed his eyes and continued to stare at the high-definition video. The person who appeared on the screen this time was Luo Bao.

He was suspicious of Luo Bao and observed him more carefully. When the other party looked at the second painting, his eyes seemed to pause for a short moment.

In less than a second, he looked away and continued to look at the third picture.

Finally, the answer was "I don't know".

Chen Yi went back and continued looking, zooming in on Luo Bao's look when he was looking at the second portrait.

"Is there a problem? It's hard to say."

While talking to himself, Chen Yi repeated the process five or six times, and was sure that Luo Bao's eyes changed when he saw the second portrait.

But the changes are too subtle to make a definitive judgment.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Yi continued to look at the next person.

This is Zuoqiu Anqing.

The first painting, no response.

The second painting, no response.

The third painting, no response.

Chen Yi retracted the progress bar and continued to observe. Three cameras covered Zuoqiu Anqing's entire body.

When seeing the second portrait, Chen Yi noticed that Zuoqiu Anqing's right index finger moved slightly and curled up.

Chen Yi immediately paused and stepped back, repeating these two seconds.

That's right.

It did move.

Or the second painting.

Both Luo Bao and Zuoqiu Anqing had subtle changes in response to the second portrait, which is very telling.

Chen Yi paused the video and picked up the second portrait on the table.

In this portrait, the deceased was a little bit plump, with a chubby face, which made him look quite cute.

Could it be her?
Do Luo Bao and Zuo Qiu Anqing know her?

The basis is a bit far-fetched.

It's a subjective judgment. Even if the two people know each other, it's impossible to get a different answer if you call them over and ask them again.

Once you decide to lie, you won't change it easily.

"Let's assume they know each other. These two people are... weird."

Chen Yi was referring to coincidence.

Need to check.

If there is a human factor in the coincidence, we must take these two people seriously.

After leaving the Municipal Bureau and returning home, Fang Shuyu was still awake. Chen Yi talked to her about Luo Baozuo Qiu Anqing and clearly expressed his doubts.

There are no clues at the moment, and we can't miss any possibility.

This can be considered as forcibly finding a suspected breakthrough.

After hearing what Chen Yi said, Fang Shuyu also thought it was too much of a coincidence.

The only two people who are suspicious happen to be people Chen Yixin has known in the past six months, and they are both from Linqi Village, which makes people think more.

"Do you think the bones were placed there by Luo Bao?" Fang Shuyu asked.

Luo Bao is a technical worker in charge of the construction of the museum. It is extremely easy for him to do this without any flaws.

Chen Yidao: "Suspicion is relative. Relatively speaking, Luo Bao is more suspicious.

Zuoqiu Anqing cannot be ignored either. She holds a high position in the Lake Heart Island project and can also place the bones quietly and have them suddenly appear in broad daylight."

Fang Shuyu added a possibility: "Or conspiracy?"

Chen Yi nodded: "It's not ruled out. Since you have already started to suspect Zuo Qiu Anqing, you have to think about whether she approached Jiang Fanlei deliberately before."

Fang Shuyu: "Jiang Fanlei should have nothing to do with this case, right? It's pure bad luck."

Chen Yi: "No, assuming that Bai Gu is related to Zuo Qiu Anqing, and assuming that she approached Jiang Fanlei deliberately, then Jiang Fanlei is definitely related to this case, the only difference is whether it is direct or indirect.

Knowing him, I think it was indirect.”

"Indirect connection?" Fang Shuyu couldn't figure it out. Indirect connection was a rather vague concept. Perhaps Jiang Fanlei himself was not aware of it and just happened to be involved and used by others.

Chen Yi: "Don't think about it anymore. Let's just let the assumption stand. I'll go talk to Jiang Fanlei tomorrow and express my condolences." No words were spoken that night.

The next morning, Chen Yi called Jiang Fanlei and after learning that he was at the company, he took Qin Fei and three other police officers with him.

Judging from Jiang Fanlei's tone on the phone, he is still worried about this matter, and it has not been resolved in ten days.

The construction of the Lake Heart Island project has been suspended. No matter what the reason is, shareholders will definitely ask Jiang Fanlei for an explanation. It cannot be stopped indefinitely, and the possibility of unfinished project must also be considered.

When a major criminal case occurs, no one can predict how the higher authorities will decide. In the face of power, the interests of businessmen are nothing and no one will care.

If the case remains unresolved, the island in the middle of the lake will most likely remain closed.

When he arrived at the company, the front desk clerk said that President Jiang was meeting with senior shareholders upstairs. Chen Yi went upstairs with sympathy and stood in front of the door of the meeting room.

You can hear Jiang Fanlei being bombarded inside at this moment.

"Boss Jiang, you have been keeping an eye on the Lake Heart Island project. We let it go because we trusted you. Now that something so big has happened, you must give an explanation, right?"

"Yes, Jiang Fanlei, there are bones on the island, the city bureau has sealed off the island and stopped construction indefinitely. If you don't give me a definite answer, I will consider withdrawing my shares."

Jiang Fanlei's voice rang out: "Didn't I say it? As long as the case is closed, it's fine."

“When will the case be closed?”

Jiang Fanlei said angrily: "I don't know, indefinitely! Do you think investigating a case is that easy? Whoever thinks he can do it can go and try.

Why are you always thinking about making money? Human life is not important, old man! "

"You little bastard! Who are you talking about?"

For rich people, every second counts. They can lose a lot of money in just one day, let alone indefinitely.

Conflicts are normal.

After listening outside the door for a while, Chen Yi pushed the door open.

The meeting came to an abrupt end. Everyone looked over and stood up quickly after realizing it was Chen Yi.

Almost everyone present knew Chen Yi.

Some because of their identity as criminal police, and some because of their identity as the son of the Chen Group.

There are only a small group of well-known people in Yangcheng. Once you reach a certain status, you will know everyone you should know. If you don’t have this much vision, you wouldn’t have made it this far.

"Mr. Chen."

"Captain Chen."

Seeing Chen Yi walk in, everyone greeted him quickly with smiles on their faces.

Chen Yi responded politely: "I'm sorry to interrupt your meeting. I came here this time because of the case. I have found some clues and need to talk to Mr. Jiang.

Everyone please be patient and give the police some time, and also give Mr. Jiang some time.

I can block the lake island, and I can also unblock it. No matter what the result is, I will give everyone a satisfactory explanation at that time."

These words made everyone look at each other in surprise. Chen Yi and Jiang Fanlei have a close relationship, so there will certainly be no problem if he speaks up. His credibility is much higher than Jiang Fanlei.

What I mean is, even if the case cannot be solved, it won’t affect the construction?

Others are just bragging, but Chen Yi is definitely qualified.

"Captain Chen, you're too serious. We were just holding a regular meeting, just a regular meeting. It's just that the words we used were a bit harsh." An elderly director apologized with a smile.

Chen Yi nodded with a smile: "I understand. If every meeting is stagnant, the company will soon be finished. Can I have a private chat with President Jiang?"

"of course can!"

"Go, go, go, go quickly..."

The older director started to chase people away, and the last one to leave was the one who considerately closed the door of the meeting room.

Chen Yi sat down, took out a cigarette, lit it, and looked at Jiang Fanlei.

Jiang Fanlei probably hadn't slept well for several days, and he had dark circles under his eyes. At this moment, he didn't even have the energy to thank Chen Yi. There was no need to be overly polite between brothers.

Seeing this, Chen Yi laughed out loud: "Leizi, it shouldn't be that serious, right? It's just a normal procedure to stop your project. Why do you feel ten years older?"

Jiang Fanlei rubbed his brows and said weakly, "Didn't you see that group of people almost wanted to eat me just now? If there is any problem with the Lake Island project, they will block my door every day.

"By the way...how are you doing? How's the investigation going in the past ten days? You said there's some progress?"

Chen Yi took a puff of his cigarette and asked, "Do you know Luo Bao?"

"Luo Bao?" Jiang Fanlei thought about it seriously and shook his head: "I don't know him, who is he?"

Chen Yi: "One of the technical workers who built the museum, and a friend of Zuoqiu Anqing."

Hearing Zuoqiu Anqing's name, Jiang Fanlei looked a little unnatural, and asked, "Then what? Is it related to the case?"

Chen Yi: "Maybe. Call the construction company now. I need to talk to Luo Bao's immediate superior."

Jiang Fanlei picked up his phone casually: "Come here?"

Chen Yi: "Don't bother, just communicate over the phone."

Jiang Fanlei: "Okay."

He looked through the call records and then dialed the number. After the two sides talked for a while, the phone was placed on the table in speakerphone mode.

"Boss Jiang, Captain Chen, hello, I'm Luo Bao's manager."

Judging from the voice, he is in his forties.

Chen Yi: "What's your last name?"

Manager: "My last name is Liu. Hello, Captain Chen."

He can tell exactly who is speaking.

Chen Yi: "I have a few questions. Just answer truthfully. For the Lake Heart Island project, what percentage of the workers are sent by your company?"

Manager Liu said without hesitation: "Nearly half. We attach great importance to the Lake Heart Island project, and the construction period given by General Manager Jiang is relatively short. Basically, all the people who can be transferred have been transferred there, and we guarantee that it will be completed next year."

Chen Yi: "Is Luo Bao familiar with it?"

Manager Liu: “Of course.”

Chen Yi: "Was he assigned to the Lake Island as normal? Or was he transferred there midway?"

Manager Liu: "He was transferred here midway. He didn't work on Lake Heart Island before."

Chen Yi: "Why do you want to transfer there?"

This question made Manager Liu silent for a moment, and he told the truth: "Yes... Mr. Jiang's friend brought a message, hoping to let Luo Bao go to work on the lake island.

Mr. Jiang has always been quite prompt with his project payments, so if you follow up on the Lake Island project, the bonus will be very high.”

Chen Yi: "Oh, it's like taking a back door. Which friend?"

Manager Liu: "Ms. Zuoqiu."

Jiang Fanlei's eyes fluctuated.

"Okay, got it. Thanks." Chen Yi was ready to hang up.

Manager Liu: “You’re welcome.”

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yi asked, "Zuoqiu Anqing has this face, right?"

Jiang Fanlei didn't know what he was thinking, and nodded slightly: "Yes, I take her with me wherever I go, so I basically know everyone related to the Lake Heart Island project.

Um... Chen Yi, last time you said you saw Zuoqiu Anqing shopping with a man, was it this Luo Bao?"

Chen Yi replied: "It really isn't Luo Bao. Why, do you hope it is? In that case, she is not with you for money and status?"

Jiang Fanlei waved his hand: "No, I just asked casually. Did you get the answer you wanted?"

Chen Yi took two puffs of his cigarette and said, "It's a coincidence that must happen. There's something wrong with that."

Jiang Fanlei didn't understand: "An inevitable coincidence? What does that mean?"

Chen Yi did not answer, but asked: "Have you encountered any strange things or met any strange people recently?"

Jiang Fanlei thought about it, then shook his head hesitantly: "Probably not. I've been busy with the Lake Heart Island project, and the people I've been in contact with are all related to the project."

Chen Yi: "Okay, if you come across or hear about it someday, remember to call me and tell me, especially about Luo Bao and Zuoqiu Anqing."

Jiang Fanlei still didn't understand, but he unconditionally supported Chen Yi's investigation and assured him, "Don't worry, I will pay special attention to it."
