Chapter 371 [Detective Agency] (1)
Luo Lie went up the steps. The steps were very steep and the light inside was not good. Yu Fei Detective Agency was located on the right hand side behind the upstairs. Luo Lie knocked on the door again. This time, a response came from inside: "Please come in!"
Luo Lie pushed the door and walked in. The inside suddenly became brighter. There were three floor-to-ceiling windows on the street of the detective agency, which successfully led the light outside into the room. There was a table outside and file cabinets on the other walls. Cheng Yufei's assistant Li Yandong was standing in front of the file cabinet to sort out the information. Even Luo Lie didn't have time to turn around when he walked in.
Luo Lie coughed, and Li Yandong turned his face and saw that Luo Lie was not surprised: "Mr. Luo, Miss Cheng said you will come. She is out now. You can sit in her office for a while, and she will come back in half an hour."
Although Luo Lie has known Cheng Yufei for a short time, he has some understanding of her. Cheng Yufei, the number one detective in Huangpu, is definitely not a false reputation. She has the expertise to grasp people's psychology.
Luo Lie entered Cheng Yufei's office. The windows were bright and clean, and there were many flowers and plants inside. Unlike the filing cabinets that could be seen everywhere outside, there was nothing extra in it except for an office desk and a sofa used to meet guests.
Li Yandong came in and made a cup of tea for Luo Lie, and then went out again. The Yufei Detective Agency's business was very good. He was often following up several cases at the same time, but only he and Cheng Yufei were the only ones, so they were busy all the time.
Luo Lie took a sip of tea and took the opportunity to observe Cheng Yufei's office. The hobbies and interests of an owner can be inferred from the details of the interior furnishings. Luo Lie made two preliminary judgments by observing this office. Cheng Yufei is a very rigorous person and meticulous in her work. Even the placement of a pen on her desk was carefully considered. The pots of flowers in the room were not only cleaned, but even every leaf was spotless.
Cheng Yufei may have a cleanliness obsession, and Luo Lie couldn't help but think that a person who is so rigorous and may have a cleanliness obsession must be extremely cautious. How could she allow a guest to enter her office without her being there? If she has other purposes, wouldn't she give herself an opportunity to take advantage of it?
Luo Lie's eyes turned to the glass window on the left, and he suddenly remembered something. The glass window had a good view. From here, you can clearly observe the small building opposite. You can also see the indoor scene from the small building opposite, not to mention that the office is on the side of the light.
Luo Lie stood up and walked slowly towards the glass window. He politely raised the teacup to signal to the opposite side. Although he could not see the scene opposite from his perspective, he had a premonition that someone was quietly observing him on the other side.
Cheng Yufei's arrival was five minutes earlier than the scheduled time. When she walked into the office, she apologized: "Mr. Luo, I'm really embarrassed to let you wait for a long time."
Luo Lie smiled and said, "I'm sorry, it's me who came uninvited."
Cheng Yufei sat down behind her desk and looked at Luo Lie with a smile: "I know Mr. Luo will definitely come, and I have many questions to ask me."
Luo Lie placed the teacup on the coffee table beside him: "I want to know more about the case."
Cheng Yufei took out a file bag and took out a fingerprint comparison result: "On the first day I was in this industry, my teacher told me that no matter who the case is, I must let myself jump out of the case itself, and look at the case from the perspective of bystanders, not be influenced by feelings, and let the evidence speak."
Luo Lie stood up, came to Cheng Yufei, sat down on the chair opposite her, picked up the fingerprint report, and compared it carefully.
Cheng Yufei said: "The fingerprint on the left was found on the iron rod that knocked An Zhai out of the shadow. The fingerprint on the right was taken from the teacup used by Zhou Xiaodie. I can tell you responsibly that the two fingerprints are exactly the same, and it can be concluded that they belong to the same person."
Luo Lie said: "It's easy to get a person's fingerprint, which doesn't seem to mean anything."
Cheng Yufei said: "According to Mr. Luo's words, if the person who got the fingerprint had a problem, it was that he suspected that I had tampered with it."
Luo Lie shook his head and said, "I don't mean this, I just can't figure out something. First, why did the murderer leave this iron stick after knocking An Zhai out? Since he can make such careful arrangements, why did he leave such obvious evidence?"
Cheng Yufei said: "It sounds like something makes sense."
Luo Lie said: "Secondly, An Zhai and Zhou Xiaodie have been married for three years. The couple has always had a good relationship. The business of the silk shop is also booming. What kind of motivation is that prompting a wife to conspire to deal with her husband. When her husband rescued her from the sea of fire at all costs, she still revenges and wants to kill her husband?"
Cheng Yufei said: "Emerald Nine Dragon Cup, Dongshan Jing, any of the reasons are enough to make the couple turn against each other, and the father and son become enemies."
Luo Lie said: "These two things are your inferences. Can the case be decided based on just a jade cup found in the ward?"
Cheng Yufei said: "Mr. Luo still judges this case with emotion. I have said a long time ago that I only look at the evidence. If you want to prove that Zhou Xiaodie is innocent, then tell me what is the fingerprint on the iron rod? Why is the Jade Jiulong Cup hidden in her ward?"
Luo Liedao: "Where is the Dongshan Sutra? Why can you be sure that everything is directed and acted by Zhou Xiaodie?"
Cheng Yufei said: "Maybe there is the Dongshan Sutra, maybe not. As long as An Zhai's memory is restored, a reasonable explanation should be given."
Luo Liedao: "Is the Emerald Nine Dragon Cup true or false?"
Cheng Yufei said: "I have no right to search. The police station issued a search warrant. Inspector Liu personally led someone to the hospital for searching. He found the jade Jiulong Cup in Zhou Xiaodie's ward. I have no chance to see it yet, but judging from the photos they provided, it should be intact."
Luo Lie nodded. Cheng Yufei had found fragments of the Jade Jiulong Cup on the scene. But Yufei thought that the Jiulong Cup was a fake. If the Jade Jiulong Cup in the photo was intact, it was likely to be the authentic one.
Cheng Yufei said: "Mr. Luo, I am just assisting the police in handling the case this time. So far, my tasks have been completed, and the subsequent case follow-up will be handled by the police."
Luo Lie said: "Have Miss Cheng ever thought that Zhou Xiaodie is innocent?"
Cheng Yufei said: "I have no right to judge whether it is innocent or not. I have provided all the evidence I can find. As for the final punishment, it has nothing to do with me."
Luo Lie smiled and said, "Thank you Miss Cheng for explaining to me for so long that I will not waste your precious time." He stood up and prepared to leave, and Cheng Yufei said, "I'll give you a gift."
Luo Lie said: "Please stay!" He opened the door, but did not leave immediately, and said softly: "Ms. Cheng can use the method of hypnotizing Zhou Xiaodie to let her tell the truth, why bother such a big trouble?"
Cheng Yufei said: "Mr. Luo needs me to say it again? It is not within my responsibilities to determine whether a person is guilty."
It was still sunshine just now, and now it was already cloudy. Luo Lie came to his car and did not enter the car immediately. He used to touching his suit pocket. He realized that he did not bring cigarettes in the middle of the touch. He had already promised Ye Qinghong to quit smoking. Ye Qinghong did a thorough job of this and gave all his inventory leader to the old Zhoutou who was guarding the door.
Luo Lie sighed, looked up at the sky, but a drop of rain happened to fall on his face. Cheng Yufei's area did not have the right to determine whether a person was guilty or not, but the evidence she provided put Zhou Xiaodie in a dilemma. If she was indifferent to this, Zhou Xiaodie would be convicted soon.
The blind man has the secrets of the blind man. Even Luo Lie didn't know these secrets. Luo Lie did not mean to blame this old friend. In fact, everyone has their own secrets. When a person chooses to hide these secrets, the person has to bear the corresponding pressure. He himself is a person with too many secrets. He once hesitated whether to tell Ye Qinghong these secrets.
According to Luo Lie's original intention, he wanted to bear these pressures alone, but he couldn't bear to see Ye Qinghong's panic and uneasiness. Ye Qinghong, who was persistent in his relationship, had too much worry and gains and losses. Luo Lie could not bear to continue hiding her efforts to this family, so Luo Lie made the decision to tell Ye Qinghong the biggest secret in her heart.
After telling Ye Qinghong the secret, Luo Lie felt unprecedented relief, and the distance between him and Ye Qinghong was also brought closer because of this common secret.
Luo Lie didn't know if there was a common secret between the blind man and Zhou Xiaodie? Whether the blind man told Zhou Xiaodie honestly about this matter. Although Cheng Yufei provided conclusive evidence, Luo Lie still did not believe that Zhou Xiaodie would do these things to the blind man. Even if Zhou Xiaodie really had the idea of seizing these two treasures, Zhou Xiaodie would never have the heart to attack the blind man and almost killed someone who was sincere to her. He should be the best person in this world.
Li Yandong knocked on the door and entered Cheng Yufei's office. Seeing Cheng Yufei standing in front of the window, he walked over and followed Cheng Yufei's gaze and saw Luo Lie who was still standing in front of the car and did not leave. He was surprised and said, "Have he not left yet?"
Cheng Yufei said: "He is very attentive to his friends."
Li Yandong said: "The police station has paid the remuneration we helped handle the case."
Cheng Yufei said: "What do you think?"
Li Yandong was stunned by her question: "What?" But he would soon feel sorry for it: "Isn't this case already concluded?"
Cheng Yufei said: "When the Jade Nine Dragon Cup appears, the matter of Dongshan Jing cannot be hidden. I think An Zhai's true identity will soon spread throughout the world. Although Chen Jiumei is dead, the thief will not tolerate a traitor, and this account will definitely be settled on An Zhai."
Li Yandong said: "So, isn't he going to be in trouble?"
