Chapter 42

"Zhu Qi," Qi Fei said, "At the beginning, he also suddenly started to actively admit that he was guilty. There must be something tricky if things are abnormal."

"Ha? It seems that this case will not be closed for a while," Wu Shanqiu muttered.

"I still remember the expression on Li Jian's face when he saw that poison test report. It can't deceive people. He was very surprised, but he must have thought of something. Niu Yinzhu went missing, Pan Ting died. The people related to this matter recently are Feng Yi and Luo Yin. It seems I have to talk to Feng Yi again."

"Oh, speaking of which, Feng Yi was so scared that she went back to work without much rest. Really dedicated," Wu Shanqiu said.

"Maybe, only when she is working can she find her sense of value. Let's go! Nancheng Investment, this place, still has to go again," Qi Fei said, grabbing his coat and walking out.

At the door of Feng Yi's office, the female secretary Zhuang Xueqing was still dutifully guarding the door. Seeing Qi Fei and the others appear, she was still in that uneasy manner.

Qi Fei pointed to the band-aid under her neck: "How is the wound recovering?"

"Mm mm, it's okay," Zhuang Xueqing nodded obediently.

"Is your President Feng here?"

"She went on a business trip."

"Hm? On a business trip again?" Qi Fei's brow tightened. Now, for the so-called business trip in Nancheng Investment, it really makes people feel inexplicably numb.

"Where did she go? Reasonably speaking, the case is still under investigation. It is best for her not to leave Nancheng."

"Set off early in the morning, saying she went to Baicheng."

Qi Fei listened, took out his mobile phone and dialed Feng Yi's phone, showing it was turned off.

"President Feng might be on the plane," Zhuang Xueqing rarely took the initiative to speak.

"Is there a business trip plan? Why don't you show it to me?" Qi Fei asked.

"Mm mm, okay," Zhuang Xueqing answered habitually and printed it out efficiently.

Qi Fei took the plan. It was indeed written that she was on the plane to Baicheng at this time in the morning and would land in an hour.

"Okay, then I will call her later," Qi Fei said.

"Mm mm, okay," Zhuang Xueqing continued to answer, that kind of way that workers look polite but actually perfunctory.

For a moment, Qi Fei seemed to understand slightly why Feng Yi hated Zhuang Xueqing—that kind of non-existent disdain, deeply hidden behind the seemingly serious attitude, harassed the nerves of the questioner like annoying fine silk.

After leaving the floor where Feng Yi was, Qi Fei pressed the first floor.

After arriving at the first floor with Wu Shanqiu, they didn't go out the main door, but turned and entered the emergency stairs next door and climbed upstairs.

"Eh? Brother Fei, aren't we going back to the police station?" Wu Shanqiu asked while following Qi Fei up the stairs.

"Go to the project department!" Qi Fei's tone was completely different from just now, as if he had discovered an urgent matter. He was still holding the business trip plan in his hand.

"Niu Yinzhu's department?"

Qi Fei didn't answer. He climbed to the third floor in one breath, pushed the door open, and went straight to Lao Qian's office.

Lao Qian was sitting in the utility room smoking. Seeing Qi Fei come in, he was surprised: "Eh? Why are you back?"

"Lao Qian, open the office next door," Qi Fei said as soon as he came up.

Lao Qian understood that it was Niu Yinzhu's room. Although he didn't understand why Qi Fei was so anxious, he still took the key and opened the door.

As soon as Qi Fei entered, he went to Niu Yinzhu's desk, picked up a document on it, overlapped it with the business trip plan in his hand, faced the sunlight of the window, and then picked up another one...

"Exactly the same," Qi Fei muttered.

"Brother Fei, what exactly are you looking for?" Wu Shanqiu looked at Qi Fei in confusion.

"The page margins and line spacing of this Feng Yi business trip plan are exactly the same as all the documents left here by Niu Yinzhu," Qi Fei said.

Hearing this, Lao Qian laughed dumbly: "What's strange about that? They were all made by the same person."

"What?" Qi Fei immediately turned his head and looked at Lao Qian, "Feng Yi's plan was made by Zhuang Xueqing. Was she here with Niu Yinzhu before?"

Lao Qian was confused by his anxious appearance: "Right, when the little girl first came in, she was here with us. She didn't talk much, the kind who worked honestly. Later, I don't know why, Feng Yi took a fancy to her and named her to be her female secretary. At that time, we thought she was going to be reused. As a result, she worked for three years, being bullied every day, which was not easy."

"Why didn't anyone tell me about this?"

"This little girl is not important. Can the group's affairs recently be related to her?"

"Speaking of which, her relationship with Li Jian looks unusual, right?"

"Heh, that's not it. They came out of the same university, and Li Jian took good care of her," Lao Qian said.

"Senior brother and junior sister, damn it, I really blacked out!" Qi Fei scolded himself, looking at the various furnishings in the office, all the fragments of memory suddenly found their positions.

Whether it was the order of the bookshelf or the habit of placing various office supplies, it highly overlapped with Feng Yi's office.

"Lao Qian, do you remember when this little girl was called by Feng Yi to be a female secretary?"

"Oh, it was after Niu Yinzhu went missing. However, in my impression, before that, for a period of time, Xiao Zhuang was suddenly called by Feng Yi several times. We asked her several times what Feng Yi was looking for her for, and she just lowered her head and didn't speak. Later, everyone didn't ask. Hehe, speaking of that time, Niu Yinzhu's attitude towards her was really bad. It looks like she thought she was competing for favor in Feng's place!"

"Was it about a month before Niu Yinzhu went missing?"

"Right, right, it was that time point."

After listening, Qi Fei took a deep breath. This time was when Pan Ting encountered the "honey trap".

That time in the tavern, Feng Yi and Luo Yin said that she helped Pan Ting settle this matter. The so-called settlement, could it be that she knew the real victim was Zhuang Xueqing and put pressure on Zhuang to suppress the matter.

Niu Yinzhu died, Feng Yi was afraid of losing control over Zhuang Xueqing, so she transferred her to her side to be her female secretary, continuing to bully her in the workplace, making her afraid to speak out.

"Bad!" Qi Fei thought of this and immediately ran to the floor where Feng Yi was.

At the door of the office, the desk was empty, and Zhuang Xueqing was gone.

"Shanqiu, notify everyone immediately to find the whereabouts of Feng Yi and Zhuang Xueqing!" Qi Fei said anxiously, "Feng Yi's 'business trip' is ominous!"

At this time, his mobile phone suddenly rang.

"Is this Mr. Qi? There is your express delivery downstairs."

"I am not at the police station, just put it on the shelf."

"Police station? Mr. Qi, I am in the lobby on the first floor of Nancheng Investment."

Qi Fei heard that it was another tricky matter, so he went downstairs immediately. Seeing the sender was anonymous, he guessed most of it.

He violently tore open the express box. Inside was actually a crystal ball music box. In the box, a scarecrow stood in the snow with a smile...
