Chapter 4: Superiors and Subordinates
The girl knocked on the door and walked into the reception room.
She first nodded and smiled at me and Li Meng very politely, then walked up to Dong Jinpeng, bowed slightly and said, "Mr. Dong, the work meeting is about to start." β
Dong Jinpeng nodded, and said to us with an apologetic expression on his face: "I'm really sorry for the two of you, I have a meeting here that I need to attend, so I won't accompany the two of you, please take care of yourself." β
In other words, this Dong Jinpeng doesn't change his face, this face can switch freely.
I didn't expect that at such a young age, there were still two faces.
"Please."
Li Meng and I also stood up and said.
Dong Jinpeng stood up, habitually buttoned his suit, turned around and went out.
Li Meng and I also walked out of the reception room closely, and Dong Jinpeng's footsteps in the corridor were very fast, and his back was getting farther and farther away.
I don't know if I was in a hurry to have a meeting, or if I was in a hurry to avoid our inquiries.
During the five-minute conversation, we didn't get any clues related to the case.
And what he says doesn't have to be the truth.
"What now?" Li Meng asked me a little confused.
I lifted my chin lightly, motioned for Li Meng to look at a young girl not far away, and said lightly, "I'll go and have a conversation." β
I was about to step forward after speaking, but Li Meng grabbed my arm and asked me in surprise, "What?" Accosted?! β
Looking at her angry eyes, I hurriedly explained, "I said that you would believe it?!" β
"And what are you going to do with her?" Li Meng continued to question me.
I replied with a smile: "She is the girl who just came to ask Dong Jinpeng to go to the meeting." β
"I know." Li Meng raised an eyebrow and continued to look at me.
"She is the person in the marketing department, and Chen Youfeng is the marketing director and her immediate boss. If you want to ask a person's real situation, then ask his subordinates, because every subordinate will have opinions about their superiors and will know some things about their superiors. I said seriously.
But even so, Li Meng still asked me: "By the way, how do you know that she is from the marketing department?" β
I glanced at her a little helplessly, and continued to explain: "When she just came in to call Dong Jinpeng, she revealed the work card on her body, which said Marketing Department. β
Li Meng suddenly realized and nodded.
But I didn't give her time to speak, and walked straight towards the girl.
When Li Meng saw me leaving, he also followed closely behind me and walked with me towards the girl.
"Hello beauty." I walked up to the girl and smiled.
When the girl saw me, she was stunned, subconsciously took two steps back, kept a safe distance from me, and asked, "Are you?" β
I was about to speak, but Li Meng stepped forward quickly, still familiar with the operation, and directly showed his police ID.
"Do you know Chen Youfeng?" Li Meng immediately asked.
The girl was even more stunned, looked at us in surprise, shook her head in panic, and said weakly: "I don't know." β
With that, she turned and left.
"You see, she said she didn't know, she wasn't from the marketing department at all!" Li Meng looked at me with some complaint.
I smiled bitterly, it seems that this girl still needs to practice, and I will now take back the praise I gave her at the scene of the crime.
At the end of the day, she still has enough theory and too little experience.
If she can work in the field for a few years and experience more cases and things, with her ability to be a criminal psychology expert as a returnee, coupled with sufficient front-line work experience, she will definitely be a new star in the police force in the future.
Subsequently, I explained to Li Meng seriously. Chen Youfeng is her immediate boss, and the police will come to investigate, which will inevitably bring an inexplicable sense of tension to her psyche. And she doesn't know about Chen Youfeng's death yet, how can you just let a subordinate talk about the affairs of the superior openly? In the workplace, the most taboo is to point fingers at your superiors behind your back, because you don't know if the person who listens to you will tell you the next day. And even if Chen Youfeng is no longer in this company in the future, she will fall behind the mouth of saying bad things about people behind her back, so how can she continue her career in the future? β
After listening to my words, Li Meng felt that what I said did make some sense, and nodded seriously.
I continued: "If you want people to cooperate with the investigation, you must first gain the trust of the other party and make the other party willing to tell the truth, otherwise even if the other party cooperates with the investigation, what they say may not be the truth. This is empathy, which is very important not only in the investigation stage, but also in the reconstruction of the crime scene, which is why I often think about the crime from the perspective of the murderer. β
Li Meng nodded vigorously and asked me, "Then what now?" β
I looked at my watch and said lightly, "Eat." β
Every city's central business district will have a beautiful landscape.
That's when it's time to eat, and you'll see tens of thousands of men and women in suits and leather shoes walking out of the office building with work permits to eat.
At the same time, you will also see thousands of takeaway guys appearing here.
For larger companies, there will be a restaurant in the office building, and the variety of meals is very complete, and the prices are also different.
Li Meng and I went to the restaurant, and sure enough, we saw the girl.
"She's there!" Li Meng said to me.
I nodded and said in a deep voice: "Go over and take a look, you will talk less for a while." β
Li Meng nodded weakly and silently followed behind me.
The girl was having dinner with another female colleague, and I walked straight over with Li Meng.
"What a coincidence, we met again." I walked over to the girl and sneered.
When the girl looked up at me, it was like seeing a plague god, and her expression was very ugly.
"What a coincidence......" The girl laughed awkwardly.
"Your name is Chen Xi." I sat across from the girl very naturally.
The girl looked at me with some surprise, as if wondering why I knew her name.
Because my name is what I saw in the reception room.
"Because my name is Chaolu, and Chaolu and Chenxi are a couple." I said with a smile.
It's a clichΓ©, but it's the key to keeping the conversation going.
Li Meng was also going to sit down at this time, and when I saw this, I immediately took out a hundred-yuan bill from my wallet and handed it to her.
Li Meng took the money in my hand and also showed a surprised look.
"Take it to dinner, order whatever you want, and I'll reimburse you." I winked at her.
At the same time, the words "return me after work" have come to my lips.
Li Meng subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, although she was in a very unhappy mood now, there was nothing she could do. I had no choice but to hold the money in my hand and turn away.
"I'm just hired, and I'm not sensible." I turned my head and smiled at Chen Xi and said.
"She's so fierce, she just scared me." Chen Xi recalled the scene when we met outside the reception room.
The girl next to Chen Xi is called Peng Xiaoping, and she is also an employee of the marketing department.
Both of them are Chen Youfeng's direct subordinates.
Therefore, they must know Chen Youfeng very well, and they must know some insider or gossip news that only internal employees know.
