The Mystery of the Inner Demon

Chapter 83 Qidong County

"Considering there were so many roses at the scene, these injuries are consistent with being beaten by thorny rose branches before the victim died."

When Qi Fei heard this, he cast a suspicious look at Bao Chuchu again: "It's so quiet in this mountain at night, didn't any of you hear any shouting?"

Bao Chuchu remained calm. "In addition to the beautiful environment, the biggest feature of our villa is privacy. Therefore, every room has almost perfect soundproofing. No matter how loud the noise is, you won't hear it..."

"Don't tell me you don't know where these roses come from?" Qi Fei looked at Bao Chuchu coldly and pressed on.

"This was arranged according to Mr. Huang's request and flown in from Bulgaria in advance."

After hearing what Bao Chuchu said, Liu Tong and Qi Fei looked at each other. Before they could speak, Bao Chuchu answered first: "You don't have to imagine. When Miss Hong came out to see Mr. Huang off, she was not injured."

"It's so cold today, she must be wrapped up tightly. How can you see that she has no injuries on her body?" Qi Fei asked immediately.

"When VIPs come, we will lower the transparent thermal insulation curtains in the corridor and turn on the heating. You don't need to wear a coat when walking outside. Miss Hong was wearing a shoulder-baring dress last night, so of course I can see if she was injured." Bao Chuchu's answer was still impeccable.

At this time, the little grandson who saw Bao Chuchu last also spoke: "I can also testify that when Miss Hong came out of the shower, her skin was super good, tender and smooth, without a single scar."

"I guess you don't have any surveillance here?" Qi Fei said helplessly.

Bao Chuchu didn't answer with an expression on her face, which was considered as her agreement.

Qi Fei turned to Bao Chuchu and said, "I need to know where everyone in your villa has been after midnight."

Bao Chuchu said: "Of course, let's start with me. I finished patrolling the villa at 12:15, returned to my room, and went to bed."

"Is there anyone who can testify?"

"Of course, many people can. We live in a shared dormitory, partly to save costs, and partly so we can keep in touch if anything happens."

"Don't managers deserve a private room?"

"Oh, we are a professional, close-knit team. I don't need to be treated specially."

"You said last night was a setup, which means there were other people besides Huang Daqiu and Hong Mei? I need a complete list." Qi Fei said.

Hearing Qi Fei's question, Bao Chuchu did not answer immediately, but her eyes fell on his work ID and then looked at his face. Qi Fei already had a bad premonition. Over the years, when someone paid attention to his name, he knew that the thing he least wanted to face was about to happen.

Sure enough, Bao Chuchu said with a half-smile: "I have a list, do you dare to take it?"

"Haha, this is an investigation, not buying vegetables. You are not qualified to bargain." Qi Fei said unhappily.

"Those who came last night were all Mr. Huang's friends. Apart from Mr. Huang and Miss Hong, there were only two others, one of whom was..." Bao Chuchu paused deliberately, "Qi Dongjun." When she said these three words, she even had a provocative expression.

Qi Fei's expression froze.

Wu Shanqiu gossiped on the side: "Qidong County, which Qidong County?"

"Ahem." Liu Tong coughed twice, "It's that Qidong County." "Dongjun Industry?" Wu Shanqiu couldn't help but widen her eyes.

"We also handle cases in a humane manner. So, thank you, big guys, for taking time out of your busy schedule to return to the Yunshen Secret Realm to avoid rumors spreading outside that they are involved in a murder case." Liu Tong said on the side.

"Then, should Officer Qi Fei be the one to invite President Qi?" Bao Chuchu hinted at something.

Qi Fei stared at the woman in front of him without blinking. After the murder at the villa, she still had the energy to humiliate him.

At this time, even a fool could hear that Bao Chuchu's words had a deeper meaning.

Wu Shanqiu observed the expressions of several people, who seemed to be both afraid and unwilling to think about it. She whispered to Liu Tong, "Captain Liu, Brother Fei seems angry. I've never seen him this angry before. Qi Dongjun and Brother Fei are from the same family. Is there some grudge?"

"What kind of overnight hatred can there be between father and son?" Liu Tong took a sip of coffee leisurely and said slowly.

This made Wu Shanqiu almost scream out: "Captain Liu, stop kidding, if Qi Dongjun is my dad, then why would I come to work?"

Liu Tong glanced at her and said, "Do you know the difference between you and Brother Fei? Work is about passion!"

Originally, Wu Shanqiu was still skeptical about what Liu Tong said, but Qi Fei clearly heard their conversation and neither clarified nor admitted it, which made Wu Shanqiu begin to waver.

"Officer Qi, don't worry about it." Bao Chuchu said, looking like she had the upper hand. "In fact, the Cloud Deep Secret Realm was originally owned by President Qi. Last night, President Qi was just showing his hospitality." She raised her watch to check the time. "President Qi is on his way and should be arriving soon."

Qi Fei listened and without saying anything, he strode out of the room. He had just taken a few steps in the corridor when a deep voice came from behind him: "How long are you going to hide from me?"

Hearing this voice, Qi Fei was shocked and suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He hesitated for a moment, then suddenly clenched his fists, knowing that escaping would mean defeat. He took a deep breath and turned to face Qi Dongjun.

Qi Dongjun's personal assistant followed and appeared at the door of the hotel. His face was exactly the same as Qi Fei's, except that he had more years of experience, and his eyes had the sharp and coldness unique to a businessman, which was completely different from Qi Fei's passionate justice.

"Is it only when someone dies that I have the chance to see you?" Qi Dongjun asked as soon as he came up.

"I don't want to argue with you about this!" Qi Fei stepped forward. "Since Hong Mei is in trouble here, please fulfill your civic duty and cooperate with the police investigation."

At this moment, a woman came up from behind Qi Dongjun. She was about forty years old, with neat short hair, light and elegant makeup, and looked capable and intellectual.

When Qi Fei saw her, the emotions that he had been restraining seemed to be ignited all of a sudden, and he said to Qi Dongjun: "Do you have to take her with you wherever you go?" As he said that, he didn't even look at the woman, and passed them and returned to the scene.

When Qi Fei returned to the crime scene, he couldn't find Liu Tong anywhere. When he asked Wu Shanqiu, she said that he had just said that he had a meeting at the bureau and had to go back temporarily.

Qi Fei didn't believe it. He knew that Liu Tong didn't want to be caught between him and Qi Dongjun, so he slipped away early.

When Bao Chuchu saw Qi Dongjun appear, she immediately stood aside respectfully.
