Chapter 2154: It is truly high!

The confirmation of Chen Zhaozhong's identity actually made Li Yalin a bit disappointed.

He wanted to hear some unusual intelligence, the kind of intelligence that would make people feel that there must be something going on.

However, the news fed back by his subordinates made him dispel his suspicion of Chen Zhaozhong all at once.

As an old criminal policeman, he knew very well that a person could disguise the present, but it was difficult to bury the past.

This is also why many criminals, even after washing their hands clean and becoming successful people admired by everyone, still end up behind bars because of their past crimes.

Chen Zhaozhong's affairs from twenty or thirty years ago were all dug up, which was enough to corroborate his relationship with Gu Qiuyi.

Therefore, it was perfectly normal for Gu Qiuyi to go to his roast goose restaurant to eat.

And it was also within reason that while Gu Qiuyi was eating at the roast goose restaurant, she accidentally heard An Chongqiu mention that the old master was critically ill, and subsequently traveled thousands of miles to deliver medicine.

As for why this Chen Zhaozhong deliberately destroyed the surveillance footage, Li Yalin also had a very reasonable explanation in his mind; after all, Gu Qiuyi was a big star, and Chen Zhaozhong's past proved that he was no ordinary person, so it was logical and reasonable for him to sense something was wrong and destroy the surveillance footage to protect Gu Qiuyi's privacy.

Since it was logical and reasonable, it meant that there was no need to continue pursuing this lead.

Therefore, Li Yalin could only pin his hopes on the police being able to continue digging deeper along the clues of the Cataclysmic Front.

At the moment, this was the only relatively clear investigative direction.

However, the other party said with a somewhat helpless tone at this time: "Chief, Bruno, who is taking over for you, has already held a meeting with us today. The investigation direction for this case has shifted entirely to confirming the identities of the victims and investigating the specific details of the victims' kidnappings. As for the Fei Group, the higher-ups have also communicated with them, meaning we should not go and disturb them again, so this lead on the Cataclysmic Front will basically not be investigated any further..."

Li Yalin couldn't help but question: "The Cataclysmic Front killed so many people in New York, and you're just going to stop investigating because they say so?"

"Yes," the other party said: "The more we investigate this matter, the trickier it gets. From the mayor to the police commissioner, none of them recommend continuing the investigation."

Li Yalin asked again: "Those who were killed were all direct members of well-known prominent families. Can they swallow this insult?"

The other party said: "You don't know, but the families of those victims have all come over to give us a heads-up privately. They have also clearly expressed that they do not wish for the investigation to continue; the more it is investigated, the greater the impact on their family reputations. So, just like the Fei family, they now want to quickly come up with a sum of money to compensate the victims and turn the page on this matter as soon as possible."

Li Yalin was stunned for a moment and blurted out: "In that case, the case of Fei Haoyang and these people being killed is basically equivalent to being closed internally!"

"Yes, that is the nature of it, it just won't be announced to the public that way."

Li Yalin was instantly extremely disappointed. He said: "Su Ruoli has run away, the Cataclysmic Front is no longer being investigated, and that Chen Zhaozhong doesn't have any problems either, so it's basically impossible for this case to be brought to light."

The other party said helplessly: "Chief, this is indeed the situation right now..."

Li Yalin couldn't help but let out a long sigh, his entire being filled with utter disappointment.

What he did not know at this time was that precisely because he had people investigate Chen Zhaozhong, almost at the same time, on the other side of the globe, a file of information regarding Chen Zhaozhong appeared before a top tycoon in Hong Kong.

This top tycoon was none other than that Mr. Liu, who had once admired Chen Zhaozhong immensely, and later hated him just as immensely.

Mr. Liu was not his real name.

His real name was Liu Jiahui, and he was one of the most powerful real estate developers, shipping magnates, and investors in Hong Kong.

The reason people called him Mr. Liu was simply because he had a very good grassroots foundation in Hong Kong. In the eyes of the Hong Kong public, Liu Jiahui was dashing, wealthy, charitable, and possessed great gentlemanly demeanor, so everyone addressed him as Mr. Liu.

Over the years, Liu Jiahui had had many romantic affairs in Hong Kong, and every woman who had a relationship with him, even if they eventually parted ways, would still praise him as a rare, good gentleman.

There were many philandering tycoons, but one who could manage it like him was almost impossible to find.

It was already late at night in Hong Kong. Liu Jiahui, wearing a silk bathrobe, saw the information handed to him by the butler in his study.

Liu Huihui frowned and asked: "Why did the American police investigate him? Did he commit a crime in the United States?" ===== CHAPTER 2155 =====

The butler hurriedly said: "Master, this Chen Zhaozhong has indeed hidden himself very well. It is said that for over twenty years, he has almost never shaved his beard, his hair has grown a bit longer, and his temperament has become much more restrained. If it weren't for the police in the United States investigating his data this time, it would have been truly difficult for us to find his tracks."

Liu Jiahui frowned and asked: "Why did the American police want to investigate him? Did he commit a crime in the United States?"
