6. On the list of suspects

On the night of the 18th?

The time was so specific that Qi Ziyuan didn't rush to answer, "This...... I really don't remember exactly, please wait a minute, I need to check the memo. ”

He took out his mobile phone to rummage through it, after all, it was a week ago, and his answer didn't arouse Lin You's suspicions.

He was rummaging, but Lin You opened his mouth coldly: "Queen's Bar, does Mr. Qi have any impression?" ”

The fingers that slid the screen to turn the page stiffened, and subconsciously repeated, as if thinking, "Queen's Bar?" Do you mean the one on Bar Street? ”

"Yes, someone said they saw you there." Lin You stared intently, observing his reaction and expression, "On the 18th, around nine o'clock in the evening." ”

Unaffected by these words, he continued to flip through the memo on his phone, looking up the date and itinerary, "So, it seems that I have a little impression that I have found the record of the 18th." ”

He stretched out his hand and handed his phone to Lin You, explaining: "It lists all my itinerary plans for the day. ”

beckoned Zhan Yi to check it together, and after flipping through it, he was even more curious, "Why is there no record of you going to the Queen's Bar on it?" ”

"The above list is a predetermined plan, and going to the Queen's Bar is an unexpected trip, and I was called there temporarily." Qi Ziyuan understood what the other party wanted to know, and recounted while recalling, "The invitation to the queen's bar was made by Yu Lanna, she called me that afternoon, the time and place were all decided by her, the agreed time seems to be eight o'clock, about the call record, the two of you only need to go to the mobile company to check it to prove that what I said is true." ”

"And after that?"

"I didn't wait for Yu Lanna that night." Answered truthfully, in order to avoid suspicion, without the other party asking, he tried to explain everything as clearly as possible, "I tried to call her, but no one answered, I waited at the bar for about an hour and left, the bartender at the bar should remember me if he didn't change people." He remembers talking to the bartender for a while.

"Indeed, he remembers you." Obviously, Lin You had already gone to the bar to investigate in advance.

The conversation continued, and the words revolved around keywords such as 'Yulana, bar, time, no-show'.

Lin You gave him the feeling that he was a strong temptation to cover his head, and what he asked, although the officer Zhan Yi next to him didn't say much, he was more able to grasp the main point at once, no matter how the two asked, Qi Ziyuan responded one by one without changing his face, what he said, he was telling the truth.

He also knew why this Officer Lin You would hold him up, just because the timing was too coincidental.

According to Officer Lin You, Yu Lanna's autopsy report showed that the time of her death was roughly between 11 p.m. and 1 a.m. on the X, and it was he who left the queen, judging from the distance from the queen's bar to her house, Qi Ziyuan was completely likely to commit the crime.

It's just that Yu Lanna's body was found late, and she lay alone in the apartment provided by the new company for several days.

Because he didn't wait for Lanna, he went to the other party's apartment to find someone, but there was an argument in the apartment, and he killed the other party by mistake and escaped...... No one else needs to say anything, even Qi Ziyuan himself can make a 'reasonable' guess by coincidence.

Qi Ziyuan was also very helpless about this kind of thing, if it weren't for the fact that Officer Lin You mentioned the Queen's Bar now, he might have really forgotten about this stubble, but now because of this forgetfulness, he was directly listed on the list of suspects.

It wasn't until there was a knock on the door that the confrontation between the three of them was temporarily interrupted, and it was Brother Dong who came in, "Two police officers, our press conference is about to start, can you let Qi Ziyuan go to participate first, and if there is anything else you want to ask after the end, you can continue." ”

Qi Ziyuan glanced at his mobile phone, and he had really been dealing with these two police officers for an hour, but unfortunately the matter had not been explained clearly, this Officer Lin You was obviously suspicious of him, and he didn't know if he would let him go.

Lin You seemed to be reluctant, but Zhan Yi on the side opened his mouth in time: "Okay, we'll wait here." "Agree with his departure.

After Qi Ziyuan followed Brother Dong away, Lin You, who was originally serious, immediately leaned in the direction of Zhan Yi, glanced at the surveillance camera above his head tabooly, covered his mouth and asked in a low voice: "Hey, how can you just let him do that, what if he runs away......

"He won't."

"How can you be so sure?"

"He's not like that." Zhan Yi replied.

"What is not like it, I only certify the evidence, and the criminal will not write the two 'criminals' on their faces." Lin You muttered a sentence and was about to get up, "I'm not at ease, maybe there will be any new clues found by the questioning of that group of reporters." ”

"Yes." Zhan Yi responded, and also got up, "I'll accompany you." ”

————————————————————

When he came to the venue where the reporters were entertained, as soon as Qi Ziyuan appeared, the emotions of the group of reporters were instantly aroused, and the flashing lights kept flashing all the time, and it seemed that they were really suffocated by the sudden postponement of an hour.

After he sat down, the group of reporters stopped a little, and when the flash was gone, Qi Ziyuan cleared his throat and opened his mouth into the microphone.

As usual, he made a speech first, and the manuscript was prepared in advance, expressing his regret over Lanna's murder, and also condemning the murderer verbally, hoping that the police could solve the case as soon as possible.

After that, it's the free interview session, and the bad thing about the postponement is that this group of people remember that they are really forced to be in a hurry, and there is less of a step-by-step process, and the first question is particularly sharp, "Hello Mr. Qi, I am a reporter from All City Entertainment, I would like to ask, is it because of the sudden visit of the police personnel that the press conference scheduled to be held at 7 o'clock in the evening was suddenly postponed to 8 o'clock?" ”

"Yes, it is the responsibility and obligation of every citizen to cooperate with the police investigation, not to mention that the victim was an artist I signed a contract with, so I naturally have more responsibility and obligation to cooperate with the police ......" A more official answer, when he learned that the two police officers were coming, he thought that there would be reporters to ask questions, and the answer was very smooth.

The next question was more sharp, and he directly asked him as if he was a suspect, "Hello Mr. Qi, I am a reporter from Entertainment Beauty Weekly, forgive me for asking more bluntly, the police should have looked for you before, and now they are looking for you again, are you really related to Miss Yu Lanna's murder?" That's why the police are so desperate to find you repeatedly for questioning. ”

Cautiously coping, it was expected to last for two hours, but it dragged on for more than three hours, and the already delayed press conference did not end until almost 12 o'clock.

Qi Ziyuan left the venue first and returned to the conference room, carrying a three-point lunch box in his hand, which he had bought by someone, and it was okay for him to be hungry, so it was not good for the two police officers to starve with him.

"Mr. two police officers have been waiting for a long time." Push two of the bento boxes to the two, according to him, tonight will not end too early, "Hungry, eat something to fill your stomach while it's hot." ”

The restaurant he ordered today is also the standard for his daily overtime, the delicious meals on weekdays are a little greasy in his mouth today, and he has no taste of the past, and he put down his chopsticks after eating a few bites, and he misses the fish fillet porridge that Jin Ze made for him at home.

Qi Ziyuan glanced at the time, usually he should have eaten at home at this point, and he might really have to spend the night in the company tonight.

Thinking about whether to send a text message to Jin Ze to say something, as soon as he took out his mobile phone, the police officer Lin You opened his mouth again without delay in eating and asking, so that he quickly collected his thoughts.

The time was close to three o'clock in the morning, and he was finally 'interrogated', although it took long enough, but fortunately, in the careful interrogation, he had roughly cleared away his suspicions, and he was found again and again in the future.

Sending the two of them all the way to the parking lot, Qi Ziyuan stretched out his hand to wave goodbye, and did not forget to hand a business card in, "It's getting late, you two should slow down on the road, you can call me at any time if you have any needs." ”

"Okay," Lin You put away his business card, and Zhan Yi drove away slowly.

Seeing the two walk away, an intuition suddenly emerged, the relationship between these two police officers may not be as simple as colleagues, but this is not something he should be blind about.

Turning back to the company, as soon as he pushed open the office door, the mobile phone rang loudly, and it was actually Jin Ze calling.

"Hey, Jin Ze." Qi Ziyuan hurriedly answered, "What's wrong?" ”

“…… Where is it. "The voice is low, and it sounds calm.

Touching his forehead, he said that he always felt that something was missing, and was interrupted by Officer Lin You's questioning before, and he really forgot to send a message to Jin Ze to tell him not to go back, "Seeing that I am busy, I forgot to say hello to you, Jin Ze, I still have to report tonight, and I decided to stay in the company and not go home." ”

"Dinner." There was no fluctuation in his voice, and he knew whether the other party had listened to what he said.

"Don't worry, I've already eaten it." Being so concerned about it gave birth to warmth in my heart, and even my voice softened, "Don't wait for me today, rest early, and ...... Hey, hey?? Jin Ze? ”

Before he finished speaking, the other party hung up the phone directly, listening to the "doodoo" hang-up tone, and quickly dialed it back again, but unfortunately no one answered.

After a while, Qi Ziyuan was inevitably a little worried in his heart, and the words he said to him on the phone from his friend were still ringing in his ears, for fear that the other party would lose his temper.

I had the urge to go back and see, so I picked up the car key and clenched it and let go, it was already late, maybe I would disturb the other party's rest when I went back.

Sighing in a low voice, Qi Ziyuan finally dispelled the idea of going home, or finish it as soon as possible, go back from work early tomorrow, and appease the other party when the time comes.

"Knock knock knock-"

While he was concentrating on writing a detailed report on today's 'press conference' and 'police inquiry', he suddenly knocked on the office door, which frightened him so much that he almost didn't scream.

Looking at the events on the computer, it was half past four in the morning, which was a little ...... The whole company should be working overtime......
