Chapter 83: Qi Dongjun

"Combined with the many roses at the scene, these injuries are consistent with being whipped by thorny rose branches while alive."

Upon hearing this, Qi Fei cast a suspicious gaze toward Bao Chuchu: "It's so quiet in the mountains at night, did none of you hear any screaming?"

Bao Chuchu remained calm: "Besides the beautiful environment, the biggest feature of our villa is the protection of privacy. Therefore, every room has almost perfect soundproofing equipment. No matter how loud the sound is, it won't be heard..."

"Don't tell me you don't know where these roses came from either?" Qi Fei looked at Bao Chuchu with cold eyes, pressing step by step.

"This was arranged according to Boss Huang's request, flown in from Bulgaria in advance."

Hearing Bao Chuchu's words, Liu Tong and Qi Fei looked at each other. Before they could speak, Bao Chuchu answered first: "You don't need to imagine things. When Ms. Hong came out to see Boss Huang off, she had no injuries on her."

"In such cold weather, wouldn't she be wrapped up tightly? You could see she had no injuries on her?" Qi Fei immediately questioned.

"When VIPs arrive, our corridors lower transparent thermal curtains and the heating is turned up high. There's no need to wear a coat when walking outside. Ms. Hong was wearing a backless dress last night, so of course I could see if she was injured or not," Bao Chuchu answered flawlessly.

At this time, Xiao Sun, who had seen Bao Chuchu last, also spoke: "I can also testify. When Ms. Hong came out of the shower, her skin was super good, tender and smooth, without a single scratch."

"I guess you don't have surveillance here either, right?" Qi Fei said helplessly.

Bao Chuchu didn't answer, her face expressionless, which counted as a tacit admission.

Qi Fei turned to Bao Chuchu: "I need the whereabouts of everyone in your villa after midnight."

Bao Chuchu said: "Of course, let's start with me. I finished patrolling the villa at 12:15 and returned to my room, then went to sleep."

"Is there anyone who can testify to that?"

"Of course, many people can. We live in a collective dormitory, partly to save costs, and partly to facilitate communication when things happen."

"The manager doesn't even get a single room?"

"Heh, we are a professional, tight-knit team. I don't need to be special."

"You said last night was a gathering, which means besides Huang Daqiu and Hong Mei, there were others, right? I need a complete list," Qi Fei said.

Hearing Qi Fei ask this, Bao Chuchu didn't answer immediately. Instead, her gaze fell on his work ID, then looked at his face. Qi Fei already had a bad premonition. For so many years, whenever someone noticed his name, he knew the thing he least wanted to face was about to happen.

Sure enough, Bao Chuchu said with a half-smile: "I have the list, do you dare to take it?"

"Heh heh, this is an investigation, not grocery shopping. You don't have the qualifications to bargain," Qi Fei said unpleasantly.

"The people who came last night were all Boss Huang's friends. Besides Boss Huang and Ms. Hong, there were only two others. One of them is..." Bao Chuchu paused deliberately, "Qi Dongjun." When she said these three words, she even had a provocative expression.

Qi Fei's expression froze.

Wu Shanqiu gossiped from the side: "Qi Dongjun, which Qi Dongjun?"

"Cough, cough." Liu Tong coughed twice from the side. "It's that Qi Dongjun."

"Dongjun Industry?" Wu Shanqiu couldn't help but widen her eyes.

"We also handle cases with humanity. How about this: trouble these few big shots to return to Yun Shen Secret Realm in their busy schedules, so as not to have rumors spreading outside that they are involved in a murder case," Liu Tong said from the side.

"Then, shouldn't Officer Qi Fei be the one to invite Boss Qi?" Bao Chuchu had hidden meaning in her words.

Qi Fei looked at the woman in front of him without blinking. With a murder case in the villa, she still had the energy to mock him.

At this point, even a fool could hear that Bao Chuchu's words had a deeper meaning.

Wu Shanqiu observed the expressions of the few people, looking like she dared to think but didn't dare to think. She leaned toward Liu Tong and whispered: "Captain Liu, Brother Fei seems angry. I've never seen him this angry before. This Qi Dongjun is of the same family as Brother Fei. Could there be some grudge?"

"What grudge can a father and son have that lasts overnight?" Liu Tong drank his coffee leisurely and said unhurriedly.

These words made Wu Shanqiu almost scream: "Captain Liu, don't tease me. If Qi Dongjun were my dad, why would I still be coming to work?"

Liu Tong glanced at her: "Now you know where the gap between you and Brother Fei lies? Work is about sentiment!"

Originally, Wu Shanqiu still held a skeptical attitude toward Liu Tong's words, but Qi Fei clearly heard their conversation and neither clarified nor admitted it, which made Wu Shanqiu start to waver.

"Officer Qi doesn't need to struggle," Bao Chuchu said, looking like she had the upper hand. "In fact, Yun Shen Secret Realm is Boss Qi's property. Boss Qi was just playing the host at last night's gathering." As she spoke, she raised her watch to check the time. "Boss Qi is already on his way and will be here soon."

Hearing this, Qi Fei walked out of the room without a word. After walking a few steps in the corridor, a deep voice came from behind him: "How long are you going to hide from me?"

Hearing this voice, Qi Fei felt as if he had been electrocuted and stopped in his tracks.

He hesitated for a moment, then suddenly clenched his fists, knowing that avoidance meant he had already lost. He took a deep breath and turned to face Qi Dongjun.

Qi Dongjun's personal assistant followed him and appeared at the hotel entrance. His face was carved from the same mold as Qi Fei's, except with more of the frost of time and the unique sharp coldness of a businessman in his eyes, which was completely different from Qi Fei's hot-blooded justice.

"Is it only when a life is lost that I have a chance to see you?" Qi Dongjun questioned him as soon as he arrived.

"I don't want to argue about this with you!" Qi Fei walked up. "Since Hong Mei had an accident at your place, please fulfill your duty as a citizen and cooperate with the police investigation."

Just then, a woman walked up from behind Qi Dongjun. She was about forty years old, with neat short hair, light and elegant makeup, and a capable, intellectual look.

When Qi Fei saw her, his suppressed emotions seemed to be ignited all at once. He said to Qi Dongjun: "Do you have to bring her everywhere you go?" Saying this, he didn't even look at the woman, bypassed them, and returned to the scene.

When he returned to the crime scene, Qi Fei couldn't find Liu Tong anywhere. When he asked Wu Shanqiu, she said he had just gone back because there was a meeting at the bureau.

Qi Fei didn't believe it at all, knowing that Liu Tong, that guy, just didn't want to be caught in the middle of him and Qi Dongjun and had slipped away early.

Seeing Qi Dongjun appear, Bao Chuchu immediately stood to the side respectfully. ===== CHAPTER 84 =====
