Chapter 329

"What?" Wu Shanqiu and Lao Qian asked in unison.

Qi Fei asked Lao Qian: "I saw she has a light purple handbag. Does she also carry that handbag when she goes hiking?"

When he asked this question, Wu Shanqiu understood in seconds. The so-called light purple handbag was the one that originally hung the candy pendant, but that style was obviously not suitable for carrying during outdoor sports. Tian Mi probably wouldn't carry this bag when going to Bu Er Jing for hiking. If this was the case, it was unreasonable for that candy pendant to fall there.

Unexpectedly, Lao Qian nodded: "Ha, she carries that bag wherever she goes. She was still carrying it the few times I drove her to Bu Er Jing."

"Hmm? Then how to climb the mountain?" Qi Fei asked, puzzled.

"Officer Qi, she is a general manager. Of course, someone helps her carry it," Lao Qian said sourly.

"How? Does she have subordinates accompanying her when climbing the mountain?" Qi Fei asked.

"Of course, General Manager Tian needs company people to accompany her for everything. Let alone climbing the mountain, including picking up her mother to see a doctor, running errands for her husband, such things will be ordered to company people," Lao Qian said with a bitter smile. "After she came here, the number of people in our company who travel green has obviously increased, for fear that General Manager Tian will suddenly find someone to run errands."

"This is a bit too much. Nancheng Investment is a state-owned enterprise, not her private property," Wu Shanqiu said inexplicably angrily.

"Even if it's her own company, it can't be like this, right?" Qi Fei said further.

"How did your company get such people to be leaders?" Wu Shanqiu said to Lao Qian with sympathy.

"Because these people know how to do things. And isn't it because they don't treat us workers as people that the above likes them? As long as the above needs something, they can let everyone work overtime all night without pushing back," Lao Qian hit the nail on the head, but the dissatisfaction was quickly suppressed by himself, making up for it: "Forget it, it's just a job. Actually, it's the same work regardless of who comes." He looked at Qi Fei and asked curiously: "Why are you suddenly concerned about General Manager Tian's handbag?"

"We found things from her handbag at the crime scene. By the way, you said someone would help her carry the bag. Do you know who they are? Her assistant?" Qi Fei asked.

"Not necessarily. For a while, she quite liked to bring Li Shuangshuang along. As for why, everyone knew later," Lao Qian said disdainfully, and then came back to his senses. "Are you suspecting that General Manager Tian is related to Dong Ziwu's death?"

"Not necessarily. After all, in your Nancheng Investment, there are so many people who don't like Dong Ziwu. On the contrary, this Tian Mi is the one with no motive to kill," Wu Shanqiu said.

As soon as she finished speaking, Lao Qian couldn't help but cough dryly.

Qi Fei saw the subtlety in his expression and hurriedly asked: "How? Is there a conflict between Tian Mi and Dong Ziwu that we haven't mastered?"

Lao Qian hesitated and said: "I also heard it. Not sure if it's true. They said that the things Dong Ziwu handled in other companies before exploded, and General Manager Tian is trying to clear the relationship with him. What godson, in front of interests, they are all plastic. However, such things are common in the workplace. You say it's not serious enough to kill, right?"

"We have encountered many strange reasons for killing," Wu Shanqiu smiled. "Lao Qian, you are still quite kind."

After Lao Qian left, Qi Fei asked many employees of Nancheng Investment one after another. Without exception, none of them knew where Tian Mi went on the day Dong Ziwu mysteriously disappeared.

And Tian Mi kept her mouth shut about her whereabouts, which further increased Qi Fei's suspicion of her.

When leaving Nancheng Investment, an unexpected person appeared in front of them.

"Xiao Kui?" Wu Shanqiu went up with full dullness and held Zhong Xiaoyu's hand. Obviously, such an intimate action made the other party at a loss, as if the whole person was stiff.

Wu Shanqiu then noticed the abnormality, slowly let go of her hand, examined the person in front of her, widened her eyes, pointed at her, and said: "You couldn't be..."

"Zhong Xiaoyu, you finally appeared," Qi Fei walked to the two people and said.

That's right, Qi Fei recognized at a glance that the person in front of him was not Zhong Kui but Zhong Xiaoyu.

She was wearing a simple trench coat, jeans, flat shoes, and a ponytail. The Zhong Xiaoyu who only existed in the photo appeared completely in front of Qi Fei at this moment.

Since parting in Sanwu Town, Zhong Xiaoyu seemed to have evaporated from the world and had disappeared for a period of time.

Qi Fei had gone to Huang Daxian Temple to find her and learned from Meng Apo that she hadn't returned to Zizai Shan. As a criminal police officer, he was good at finding missing people, but this shaman who never used a cell phone really made him have no way.

Zhong Xiaoyu's hands were in her pockets, and her voice was an octave lower than Zhong Kui's: "Did someone die here recently?" She glanced at the four characters "Nancheng Investment" on the office building.

"You are well-informed," Qi Fei said, not knowing why she appeared suddenly. "Where have you been during this time?"

"Xi He's massacre of the Wu family was the last straw, crushing the remaining cowardice in my heart. Rather than being played by him, it's better to take the initiative. I am the person who understands him best in this world, so I have been tracking his traces during this time. I tried many methods, and the final conclusion is that his biggest flaw is his fanaticism for manipulating humans, so finding his followers is an entry point to find Xi He.

However, finding his followers is not a simple matter. I reviewed the cases we experienced before. Those murderers polluted by Xi He basically belonged to the state of passive response in their connection with Xi He. However, it is not completely untraceable. Nanling is Xi He's safe base. He treats that place as an altar, collecting those evil souls for sacrifice.

We received Xi He's letters several times. In my treatment of him, I also know that writing letters is a representative of the ritual sense of controlling life for Xi He. I speculate that this is the main way he contacts followers. He cannot deliver these letters himself; there must be some channel. So I mixed into the villages near Nanling and observed secretly for a long time. Finally, I discovered that every once in a while, someone would send anonymous letters from a cultural and creative shop near Nanling. To avoid alerting the enemy, I didn't dare to intercept these letters, but I pretended to be a tourist and checked the destination of those letters. Recently, these anonymous letters were frequently sent to Nancheng Investment."

Qi Fei was shocked when he heard this and couldn't help but turn to look at the gate of Nancheng Investment, whispering: "There is someone inside who sacrificed their soul to Xi He and followed Xi He's instigation to kill Dong Ziwu! Who could this person be?"
