Be in low spirits

Chapter 25: Rich People’s Gathering (2)

"What have you discovered? Have the family members of the female corpse been found?" Kong Zhixi simply stopped observing and turned around and spoke to Li Li's face.

Her face was so close that Li Li could feel her breath, and his ears began to turn slightly red again.

"Well... the reason why Zhao Xuanli's parents are not in a hurry is probably because of their son." Li Li answered her, staring into her eyes.

"So is it possible that these two people teamed up to hire someone to kill someone?" Kong Zhixi twisted her body again, picked up the tissue on the ground, and began to observe secretly again.

"Have you noticed that the Zhao family and the Shu family have been deliberately avoiding each other?" Li Li said what he saw.

"Well, even their son and daughter deliberately pretended not to know each other."

"Why do you think it was deliberate?" Li Li questioned her words.

"Because when getting off the car, the daughter of the Shu family deliberately looked at the son of the Zhao family, and the son of the Zhao family nodded at her. After entering the venue, the two passed each other several times without even raising their heads." Kong Zhixi's observation skills suddenly improved.

"Well, that's a good observation." Li Li also expressed his affirmation.

"Both the son and daughter are dead, but both families are indifferent. It's really strange." Kong Zhixi has never figured this out.

"Don't you think tonight is too quiet?" Li Li originally thought that a media bigwig would break in here and make a big fuss.

"Tsk, didn't you see it? The CEOs of the largest media companies are all here. It's obvious that they have greeted us." Kong Zhixi was a little annoyed. Her calf felt like it was bitten by a mosquito. She felt itchy and scratched it with her hand.

"You also know the president of the media company?" Li Li was a little curious.

"I checked it on your computer at the bureau this afternoon." Kong Zhixi thought there was nothing to see, so she stood up and took the tray back to the kitchen. Li Li quickly followed and said to her, "You are getting better and better. It seems that this case depends on you." Because of the waiter's clothes, Kong Zhixi couldn't give him a good face.

Nothing happened at the party. The two were so exhausted that they went home and fell asleep.

When Kong Zhixi got up in the morning and arrived at the office, she was still very tired. She lay on the table, thinking about closing her eyes and resting. However, Li Li pulled her to go to Zhao's house together. Kong Zhixi's resentment towards him reached its peak at this moment. She just wanted to lie there and sleep, not caring about anything else.

Li Li carried her into the car like a princess. He thought that since she looked very thin, she wouldn't be too heavy to carry. However, the moment he carried her, he fell to his knees and scraped his knees.

Kong Zhixi's head was hanging down, and her heart was hanging down. She stood up stiffly and opened the passenger door. She was as depressed as death and expressionless. Li Li touched his knees, blew on himself, got in the car quickly, and drove to Zhao's house.

"Investigating cases is very hard work, so you should stop doing this." Li Li advised her.

When she arrived at the Zhao family, only her parents and two nannies showed up. The so-called heir was nowhere to be seen. Kong Zhixi didn't want to look like Li Li's puppet, so she didn't sit with him and listen to their conversation. Instead, she looked around.

Before she could see the million-dollar red wine in the cabinet, the nanny said behind her: "Officer, what do you want to see? I can take you to have a look."

"Can you take me to see Miss Zhao's boudoir?" Kong Zhixi looked at Li Li who was asking questions behind her, thought for a few seconds and then spoke to the nanny.

The nanny nodded and pointed in the direction with her hand, and Kong Zhixi followed her to Zhao Xuanli's room.

The room was in the attic upstairs. It was a little hot and the sunlight was very glaring. Clothes were scattered all over the floor. The quilt covers and sheets on the bed were neatly arranged. There were many small items on the chest of drawers. It was the only colorful place in the whole room. The rest was almost all black, white and gray.

The only thing on the chest of drawers that caught Kong Zhixi's attention was the family photo. It was when she was a child, and there were only her and her parents in the photo. Kong Zhixi held up the photo and asked the nanny, "What is this?"

The nanny stepped forward and said, "This photo was taken when the young lady was a child. At that time, the young master was not yet born. The young lady was originally raised by her grandparents. At that time, the master and the mistress were working away from home and only came back during the Chinese New Year. This photo was taken at that time."

"Your master and mistress are self-made?"

"Not really. I heard from the young lady that their company had already grown to a considerable size at that time, and they were really busy." The nanny's attitude seemed sincere.

Kong Zhixi probably guessed the direction of the later part of the story, so she went downstairs and sat next to Li Li.

After the two of them left Zhao's house, Kong Zhixi suddenly thought, if Zhao Xuanli was a playboy as the rumors said, would she also go to that doctor for treatment? When she raised this question, Li Li said, "Doctor Liu is a male doctor, so Zhao Xuanli should also go to a gynecologist."

"So can we check her doctor? Maybe he has some connection with this Doctor Liu?" Kong Zhixi felt that since this doctor was so strange, he must play a certain role in this story.

"That's an idea, but I think the strangest thing now is the attitude of the two families and their heirs." Li Li believes that the vested interests after the death of the deceased are the first choice for suspicion. "And when we looked for them, these two people were not there."

Kong Zhixi nodded in agreement. The two decided to act separately. Li Li went to find the two heirs, and she went to check on the gynecologist.

Kong Zhixi checked the people in her call records. Compared with Shu Botian, Zhao Xuanli's boyfriend was much more gentlemanly. He was willing to admit their relationship and meet her. However, these so-called "ex-boyfriends" could hardly provide any valuable information. Even her gynecologist didn't know them.

However, someone introduced her to a person who claimed to be her best friend, named Tian Tian. The two of them often hung out in bars together, but none of them had Tian Tian's contact information, and the clue ended here.

Li Li said that he had found Zhao Xuanli's brother, but this brother disliked his sister in every way, and even felt ashamed because she was his sister, so his attitude towards Li Li was also very repulsive. As for Shu Botian's sister, he did not get to meet her.

Because Kong Zhixi had visited so many people, she didn't have the energy to discuss the next course of action with him when she returned to the bureau. She just wanted to go home and lie down on her little bed. Li Li had no choice but to drive her back, make dinner for her, and go back to the bureau to write his report on the charred corpse case.

When he returned home, Kong Zhixi was already fast asleep. Li Li smiled and said to himself, "Nothing can stop you from sleeping." He also took a shower and went to bed.

Kong Zhixi heard a dripping sound in her sleep, and heard someone whispering in her ear, "Look at this couple, they can't even find time to have a baby, and now they are lying together, but look at them, it's better for them not to lie down. Don't you have any sense of public morality?" Then there was a burst of crying, and after a while she heard someone say, "Don't worry, we won't ignore their situation, but the police have their own system. Once we have investigated it clearly, we will do what we have to do." Kong Zhixi only felt it was noisy. She saw herself floating in the air, watching them quarreling. She wanted to reach out to touch them, but her hand went straight through their facial features and she didn't touch anything.

She saw a lot of people gathered in the ward, but she couldn't see their faces clearly. She just felt that their voices sounded very familiar, so she must know them.

When she woke up in the morning, she only vaguely remembered a woman crying, but she couldn't tell why. Li Li comforted her: "Maybe she was too busy these days, don't think too much."

Kong Zhixi didn't think too much about it, she just felt that the dream was a little weird, so she shared it with him.

Li Li said, "I used to have similar dreams when I was very busy, so I guess you are just too tired these days."

Kong Zhixi nodded and said, "Yes, I am indeed a little too tired these past few days."

After returning to the bureau, Kong Zhixi suggested that she and Li Li go to meet Shu Botian's sister.
