Chapter 19: Detective
Shangguan Wanbai took the document and looked at it for two or three days, but still found nothing, and the words written in black and white were nothing more than the original words released by the official media back then, she had read it many times, and she could completely memorize it backwards, what documents did she need.
She suddenly fell into a predicament, and thought that Li Zi'an would really help her, but it turned out to be just perfunctory, and she was really tortured by him in vain, and she didn't gain anything at all.
Vivian helped her sort out the information, and said, "Actually, Mr. Li hired a detective for his wife to help deal with this matter. ”
Shangguan Wanbai frowned, "Why didn't Li Zi'an tell me?" ”
Vivian was a little embarrassed, "Mr. Li quarreled with his wife before, maybe he forgot about it at once. ”
didn't say anything important about it, Li Zi'an was deliberately teasing her.
She hurriedly asked, "What is the background of this detective?" ”
Vivien smiled.
When Li Zi'an left in the morning, Shangguan Wanbai was still asleep, he opened the door and beckoned Vivian to come over, and handed her a business card, which was the detective hired to help Shangguan Wanbai find Shen Wanyao.
He specifically instructed, "Wait until my wife has read it a few times, and then give her the business card after two days." ”
Vivien wondered, "Why don't you tell your wife early in the morning that your husband has hired a detective for her, won't this save time?" ”
Li Zi'an pursed her lips, a trace of impatience flashed in her eyes, and Vivian immediately understood that this was Mr. Li flirting with Mrs. Li.
When Mrs. Li was worried about the documents, Mr. Li suddenly offered the detective to help Mrs. relieve her worries, and Mrs. would definitely thank Mr. for it, and the entanglement between the two could be alleviated a lot.
As it turned out, both Li Zi'an and Vivian were overthinking.
Shangguan Wanbai pinched the detective's business card, and felt more and more that Li Zi'an didn't take himself seriously, and even such a crucial figure as the detective could be left behind, and he really didn't take the matter of helping her find Shen Wanyao to heart.
The business cards were all in English, and she translated them in her head, and at a glance remembered that this person was the chief detective who had investigated Mrs. Turner's murder, and that all the progress of the murder was announced by him through the media and the public.
Shangguan Wanbai thought for a moment and asked, "This inspector was also very promising back then, why didn't he work in the police station and resigned and returned to China, why is this?" ”
Vivien said, "The inspector is not resigned, he is fired. ”
Shangguan Wanbai was suspicious in his heart, "Dismissal? He didn't find out my mother's whereabouts back then, so he transferred other cases to the Investigation Department and left them to his subordinates to follow, did the Turner family think he was useless, so they fired him? ”
Vivian felt embarrassed when she said this, "In fact, because the detective had an affair with the official's wife, everyone went to the police station, his private life was corrupt, his morals were corrupt, and the detective couldn't stay, so he could only return to China and open a private detective agency." ”
Shangguan Wanbai pursed her lips helplessly, she had never believed that Shen Wanyao was the murderer of Mrs. Turner, and she had no good impression of this detective, but unfortunately, except for the person who had personally handled the case, who else knew more about this murder than her.
"Well, I don't care about his character, as long as I can find my mother."
Vivien immediately called the detective and arranged to meet.
In order to show his sincerity, Shangguan Wanbai went directly to a private detective agency.
The detective has a large number of contacts and resources abroad and at home, even if his private life is tainted, there is an endless stream of people who come to visit him for help, and for a time he is in the limelight, and even professionals are red-eyed.
But Shangguan Wanbai is different, she is Li Zi'an's wife, and the inspector does not dare to slack off, so he deliberately sets aside a whole day to entertain her.
The assistant lady took Shangguan Wanbai to the third floor and smiled, "Miss, the inspector is upstairs, come down immediately." ”
She nodded, and looked around the detective office, which was no different from an ordinary office, but it was quite imposing as a private office, occupying five floors of the building, upstairs at home, downstairs office.
Vivian hugged the information and said with a smile: "Mr. Li still loves his wife very much, if ordinary people come to see the detective, they will have to wait for four or five days." ”
Shangguan Wanbai's heart was unfazed, and he said casually on his lips, "I should thank him", and his eyes only looked at the wall behind the desk, which was covered with photos of various people, as well as many fragments of sticky notes.
Her eyes locked on the upper right corner, faintly painful, it was indeed a photo of Shen Wanyao, this photo was taken at the customs, since Mrs. Turner was killed mysteriously, Shen Wanyao has never appeared again.
On the day he went abroad, Shangguan Wanbai still remembered that Shen Wanyao was very happy, thinking that she was taking her daughter to a new beginning, and then no one expected that it would be such a tragic ending.
The detective came down from the upper floor in a suit and leather shoes, combed his oily hair, showed a courteous smile, and stretched out his hand when he stepped forward.
"Hello Mrs. Li, I'm Inspector Wang, and I've met my wife abroad, does my wife still remember me?"
As the suspect's daughter, Shangguan Wanbai naturally met with the detective many times, and the two talked under the dazzling light of the interrogation room.
Shangguan Wanbai's eyes were frosty, but he still stretched out his hand and shook his hand, "Hello detective, we are also old acquaintances." ”
Inspector Wang smiled, after returning to China, he was affected by Vanity Fair, and he was even more greasy and obscene, looking up and down at this Mrs. Li, thinking that the murderer's daughter is really a good life, such an unbearable life can still marry into the Li family's wealthy family, Li Zi'an is really not picky.
After Shangguan Wanbai sat down, he was not in the mood to talk nonsense with him, and asked directly: "Detective, the one thing I want to know most is that my mother is more likely to be abroad, or is she at home?" ”
Inspector Wang took a sip of tea and said: "When we were abroad, we couldn't find her in such a carpet search, so I guess she definitely fled to China, and there is no extradition regulation between the two countries, so anyone will choose to return to China." ”
The wind outside the window seemed to be able to understand their conversation, blowing the paper posted on the wall and rattling, which happened to blow Shen Wanyao's photo onto the table.
Inspector Wang pressed the photo with the cup and glanced at Shen Wanyao's plain face.
How could a good-looking woman do such a hurtful thing.
Shangguan Wanbai picked up the photo of her mother, and her eyes suddenly turned red, "Inspector Wang thinks that Mrs. Turner was really killed by my mother?" ”
Inspector Wang sighed, "Mrs. Li, how many years have I been here, how many all-nighters I stayed up for this murder back then, if Shen Wanyao was wronged, how could we not know?" ”
She was just about to argue a few words, but Inspector Wang spoke again.
