Chapter 331

~7 min read 1,292 words

The scene fell into a few seconds of awkward silence. It was Wu Shanqiu who suddenly spoke: "Is there a cadre sanatorium near Bu Er Jing?"

The pride on Tian Mi's face could no longer be hidden: "Hmph, I went to ask the leader for work advice that day. If you don't have an alibi, you have the ability to go to the cadre sanatorium to ask."

Looking at Tian Mi's arrogant look of a villain, Qi Fei couldn't help but get angry and said sternly: "No matter who it is, they are citizens and need to cooperate with the investigation. Since you have witnesses, tell us the names, and we will go to them for verification."

Perhaps Tian Mi had seen too many people who curried favor, and was very surprised by Qi Fei's response. Instead, she stuttered: "That, not appropriate... Okay, I tell you, verification is forgotten, don't add trouble to the leader."

"Then talk about it," Qi Fei took out the notebook, sat opposite Tian Mi, and waited for her to speak.

"Actually, it's nothing. I bought a few pairs of pants and sent them to a retired leader of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, and asked him for advice on fund-related business," Tian Mi said officially. Everyone understood the meaning inside. The so-called sending clothes was probably not just as simple as pants.

Qi Fei said coldly: "Pants are not comparable to other things. They must have precise sizes. It seems the other party trusts you very much."

Tian Mi's face turned red and white, and she said: "At my level, doing these things is the need to promote work. There is nothing to be ashamed of."

Qi Fei didn't argue, but he knew that what Tian Mi said was against her will. If she didn't have a ghost in her heart, she wouldn't have hidden it at the beginning.

"I know the place of the cadre sanatorium, and it won't pass through the place where we found the candy pendant. Did you carry this bag when you went there that day?" Qi Fei pointed to the bag Tian Mi habitually put on the table and said.

"I usually only have this one bag and don't change it. It was the same that day," Tian Mi said, furrowing her brows. "I have hung this pendant for a long time. Could it be that I lost it last time? But I lost it when I went hiking last time?"

"When was the last time?" Qi Fei asked.

"The weather is cold and not suitable for hiking. The last time was September 18th," Tian Mi answered without thinking. It seems she remembered the hiking days very clearly. She is really a shrewd woman.

Wu Shanqiu on the side was flipping through her phone and said: "Not right. I checked the official account of Nancheng Investment. In the photos of you participating in activities half a month ago, there was still a pendant on that bag." She said and showed that photo. "That is to say, this pendant was not lost there when you went to Bu Er Jing for the last time in September."

"Could it be that it grew legs and went there by itself?" Tian Mi was unhappy. "This pendant can be bought everywhere on the Internet. Maybe it's a coincidence? What evidence do you have that this pendant is the one I lost?"

"This is simple. Just compare the wear marks on the pendant ring on your bag and the pendant," Qi Fei said coldly. "We have to take away this bag of yours for testing."

"Heh, you can check as you like. Anyway, Dong Ziwu's death has nothing to do with me," Tian Mi said with a fearless look.

"Oh, right," Qi Fei suddenly remembered something. "If you have a hobby of hiking, you should have a lot of outdoor products, such as tents?"

"What about tents?" Tian Mi kept a straight face, and the drooping lines on her face exposed her age.

"Don't mind if we take your tent away too?" Qi Fei said.

"Does this have anything to do with investigating Ziwu's death?" Tian Mi looked reluctant.

"Yes," Qi Fei answered concisely.

"Okay then," Tian Mi reluctantly took out the car key from her light purple bag. "It's in my trunk. I'll take you to get it."

Several people arrived at the basement. Tian Mi's parking space was where the elevator came out. The parking space on the side looked like the general manager of Nancheng Investment.

They finally saw this black Mercedes-Benz car. As Tian Mi pressed the button of the car key, the trunk lid rose slowly.

Qi Fei arrived at the trunk first and took a look: "Where is the tent?" He looked up and asked Tian Mi.

"It's right there!" Tian Mi said and walked over. When she arrived at Qi Fei's side, she was dumbfounded. "Sigh? Where is my tent?"

Qi Fei looked at her surprised look, not knowing whether it was true or pretended.

"What color is your tent?" Qi Fei asked.

"It's just a khaki tent. I always put it in the trunk and will bring it when I go hiking. Sometimes I can set it up on the side of the road to rest," Tian Mi reached out and groped in the trunk in vain, but there was only such a small place in total, and the tent was obviously not here.

"The tent was lost so coincidentally?" Wu Shanqiu leaned over and said suspiciously.

"Mainly it's khaki," Qi Fei added.

"No, what do you want my tent for?" Tian Mi stood up straight, looking at their eyes as if this was the police deliberately making things difficult for her.

"By the way, I heard Dong Ziwu had some problems in his previous company. Do you know about this?" Qi Fei's tone in questioning Tian Mi became more and more intense.

"Who in the company did you hear this from?" Tian Mi asked back sharply.

"We have already talked to Peng Jian, and we understand the situation clearly. You are the Vice President of Nancheng Investment in charge of personnel. Dong Ziwu's matter should be an important mistake in your work, right?" Qi Fei asked.

"This is just work. Why, do you think I would kill Ziwu because of this kind of thing? I watched him grow up. Do you know how sad I am that he died?" Tian Mi couldn't help but get excited, and her voice sounded particularly harsh in the empty basement.

"Don't know, and can't see," a particularly calm voice came, forming a strong contrast with Tian Mi's clamor. It was Zhong Xiaoyu, who had been quiet all the way, who finally spoke. "You made an expression similar to mentioning going to the cadre sanatorium when mentioning Dong Ziwu's death. You not only have no sadness about his death, but are even satisfied. What wish did his death satisfy you?"

Zhong Xiaoyu's voice was very gentle, but these words were like needles in cotton, ruthlessly tearing Tian Mi's fragile arrogant skin.

"Nonsense, you are talking nonsense! I am not such a person!" Tian Mi shouted, not looking like a company executive at all, more like a shrew from the suburbs of Nancheng.

However, for Zhong Xiaoyu, who had seen too many emotionally out-of-control patients, this was nothing, just continuing to ask calmly: "For you, he not only means a mistake in work, but definitely has more trouble than mistakes. Tell us, what did Dong Ziwu do to you that made you hope he would die so much?"

Tian Mi's trembling hands covered her mouth. This was a performance of shame. She muttered and repeated: "I am not such a person..."
