Chapter 328

In the morning light, the thing in Wu Shanqiu's hand swayed and shone, which seemed to be a metal pendant.

Looking closely, this pendant was made into the shape of a candy, and there was the English word "Sweet" on it.

"Sweet?" Wu Shanqiu couldn't help but read it out. "Sweet? Tian Mi? Could it be such a coincidence?"

"Maybe it is such a coincidence," Qi Fei said suddenly. "That day in Tian Mi's office, I noticed the handbag she put on the table. There was a metal buckle left on it, and it looked like there should be other things on it."

When the candy-shaped pendant was placed on Tian Mi's table, she looked normal: "Eh? Where did you find this?"

"So you admit that this pendant is yours?" Qi Fei looked at her expressionlessly.

Tian Mi's brows furrowed, and the deep "chuan" shape traces betrayed her age. Obviously, she was impatient with Qi Fei's question. She crossed her hands on her chest, leaned back on the boss chair, and said: "That's right, it's been lost for a while. It's not worth much. Aren't you handling big cases? Still managing lost and found?"

Tian Mi had a kind of unscrupulous directness. Even when facing the police, she remained the same. Qi Fei didn't know whether she was covering up or it was her nature. However, this superficial arrogance didn't anger Qi Fei. He responded calmly: "We discovered this thing when we were investigating the scene of Dong Ziwu's death."

Tian Mi seemed very surprised, and it was the same. Whether this surprise on her face was because she didn't know she had left a flaw or something else.

"I haven't been there at all recently. How could this thing fall there?" she blurted out.

"Recently?" Qi Fei immediately grasped the point in these words. "That is to say, you have been there before?"

Tian Mi's eyes dodged: "Sometimes I go hiking with friends. Is there anything strange about this? Many people in Nancheng will go there."

"When we came to find you last time, why didn't you say so?" Qi Fei asked immediately.

Tian Mi suddenly revealed a mean expression, her eyeballs turned and glared, and her tone was an octave higher: "You didn't ask either?"

Facing the police, she was still like this. One could imagine her usual attitude toward subordinates.

Qi Fei finally understood the hopelessness and coldness in Lao Qian's words.

"Then I will ask you one more time now. Why did this pendant appear in Bu Er Jing? Did you go there on the day Dong Ziwu went missing?" Qi Fei's tone gradually became unkind.

Tian Mi's eyes actually drifted, and then she said in that strong-outside-but-weak-inside tone: "The last time I went to Bu Er Jing was last month. This pendant might have been lost when I went there last time. I was busy on the day Ziwu met with an accident. How could I go there?"

"Busy with what? Do you have an alibi?" Qi Fei asked relentlessly.

"Why? This is treating me as a suspect, right? You know Dong Ziwu is..." She blurted out, suddenly felt she had spoken wrongly, and closed her mouth urgently.

Qi Fei sneered: "It seems that everyone in your group knows that he has a close relationship with you. If this is what you want to say, but from another angle, Dong Ziwu is living evidence of your violation of regulations to promote employees. Who knows if you would decide to kill him to silence him for self-protection?" Looking at Tian Mi's increasingly ugly face, Qi Fei continued: "Of course, saying these things has no meaning. As long as you provide an alibi for that day, the clear will clear itself."

According to reason, this was a good opportunity given by Qi Fei to prove her innocence, but Tian Mi, a woman who looked very impatient, hesitated at this moment. After a moment of silence, she rolled her eyes and said: "You go and check. Anyway, it wasn't me!"

"That day was a workday. Can't you find someone to prove that you didn't go to Bu Er Jing?" Qi Fei's suspicion deepened.

"Anyway, I didn't go. You can check as you like!" Tian Mi said. "I watched Ziwu grow up. It couldn't be me who killed him."

As soon as they left Tian Mi's office, Wu Shanqiu couldn't help but complain: "Ha? First time encountering such an arrogant investigation object. If she doesn't have a ghost in her heart, why won't she provide an alibi?"

Qi Fei walked straight to Tian Mi's assistant and asked: "What color is General Manager Tian's car?"

"Uh, black," the assistant answered honestly.

Wu Shanqiu examined this young assistant and said when she walked into the elevator with Qi Fei: "I think Tian Mi's style of doing things is simply the second Feng Yi, no, an upgraded version of Feng Yi. Do you think the suspect this time will be the punching-bag assistant again?"

Qi Fei glanced at Wu Shanqiu: "That assistant is only a little over 1.5 meters tall, and Dong Ziwu is a big tall guy of 1.8 meters. If she wants to move Dong Ziwu out of the car in a comatose state, then wrap him up with tent cloth and push him down from the hillside water trough, do you think she can complete this series of operations?"

"Hmm, thinking about it this way, it is this Tian Mi who looks like she exercises often..." Wu Shanqiu thought thoughtfully. "And she let it slip just now. It looks like she often goes to Bu Er Jing for hiking and should be relatively familiar with the terrain."

As they were talking, the elevator door opened, and the two happened to run into Lao Qian.

"Eh? Officer Qi, why are you here again?" Lao Qian was quite happy to see them. After these two investigations, they could be considered acquaintances.

"Lao Qian, it's just right to see you. Come, let's go have a cup of tea," Qi Fei said, pulling Lao Qian to the tea bar in the lobby on the first floor.

Lao Qian listened silently to Qi Fei's suspicion of Tian Mi and said with some concerns: "Although I have already laid flat, but, in case General Manager Tian knows I told you, I don't know if I will be given small shoes to wear..."

Qi Fei put away the notebook and said: "We are just chatting, not as testimony. You can say whatever you want."

Lao Qian sighed slightly: "You guessed right. General Manager Tian does often go to Bu Er Jing for hiking. She doesn't want to say more because her hiking is not for exercising."

"Oh?"

"I drove her a few times, so I know. She was able to climb from an ordinary clerk in a suburban rural bank to her current position by knowing how to curry favor with the old leaders above. In this regard, Tian is very hardworking. She knows that there are several retired old leaders in our system who like to climb Bu Er Jing, so she insists on accompanying them to climb Bu Er Jing to get closer to the relationship."

"Eh? Doesn't that place require staying overnight to finish walking? Can those old men take it?" Wu Shanqiu couldn't help but be curious when she heard this.

Lao Qian smiled when he heard this: "You were all brainwashed by that propaganda of Bu Er Jing, what kind of road to walk to the end, longest hiking line, etc. Let's just say, this road is not a one-way street. You walk a few kilometers to show it. Does anyone stop you if you want to turn back?"

Qi Fei's brows furrowed slightly when he heard this: "Saying this, there is a tricky place..."
