S.C.I.谜案集 (Special Criminal Investigation) Book 2

Case 1. An Innocent Murderer: Chapter 10. Purpose

"Take Pang Qing back!" Bai Yutang told the policeman nearby, "Detain him for 48 hours. Just say that he interfered with official business. Don't let him get away!"

"Yes!" The policeman hurried down. Bai Yutang looked back, "There are two bodies, which means there are two victims!"

"That's right. The next thing to find out is the identity of this body and where Pang Xiaoqin's body went." Zhan Zhao shook his head, "Who went through the trouble to do this? What is their purpose?"

Zhao Zhen was still a little confused, as he sleepily held onto Xiao Bai Chi. Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang had nothing else to ask, so they let Bai Chi take Zhao Zhen to the side to rest.

"Where is the guy who brought in the cake?" Bai Yutang asked the policeman next to him. "Tell him to come here."

"Okay!" The policeman left for 15 minutes before he ran back and said, "Bai Sir, we found the man. However, he is a little strange."

"Strange?" Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao looked at each other and asked, "What's strange about him?"

"The organizer told us that the man he sent to deliver the cake was Chen Li. We found him. Everyone said he was the one who brought the cake in. However, Chen Li himself said that he never did!"

"This is new!" Bai Yutang laughed, then asked the policeman, "Did you bring him here?"

"I did!" The policeman called Chen Li at the door to come in.

Zhan Zhao had such a good memory that he could hardly forget anything he saw. He immediately recognized that the man in front of him as the waiter who had just brought in the cake in.

"Your name is Chen Li?" Bai Yutang asked, "Did you bring the cake in just now?"

Chen Li blinked, touched his head with confusion and said, "What cake?"

Bai Yutang smiled, "A lot of people saw you just now. It's no use for you to deny it!"

Chen Li was even more anxious. He shook his head and asked, "What kind of cake? I haven't seen a cake at all!"

Zhan Zhao stopped the annoyed Bai Yutang, approached Chen Li and looked into his eyes. Then, Zhan Zhao turned to Bai Yutang and said, "There's something wrong with him!"

"What do you mean?" Bai Yutang was puzzled.

Zhan Zhao called the policeman next to him to say a few words. The policeman nodded and left. Zhan Zhao turned around and continued to ask Chen Li, "What were you doing about 30 minutes ago?"

Chen Li thought for a moment and said, "I was delivering food."

"What did you deliver?" Zhan Zhao asked, "Where to?"

"I sent it to the top floor." Chen Li replied, "A steak and a bottle of red wine."

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao and said, "There is only one hall on the top floor."

"Who was it for?" Zhan Zhao then asked.

"I don't know. I put them down and left. There was no answer when I knocked." Chen Li replied, "They were probably taking a shower."

At that moment, the policeman came back with a cake in his hand and said to Zhan Zhao, "Dr. Zhan, is this okay?"

Zhan Zhao took a look and nodded, "It's fine!" With that, he took the cake and held it in front of Chen Li and asked, "What is this?"

Chen Li glanced at it, "Steak and red wine."

Bai Yutang and the others were stupefied.

"What kind of room is this?" Zhan Zhao asked Chen Li.

Chen Li looked around and said, "A hall."

Zhan Zhao shouted to the policeman at the door, "Turn off the lights!"

The lights were turned off and everything dimmed in an instant, leaving only the faint light at the porch.

"Where is this place?" Zhan Zhao then asked.

Chen Li frowned, "What do you mean? It's the hall?"

Zhan Zhao thought for a moment, then asked someone to play the music that was on earlier.

Chen Li suddenly froze when the music started.

Zhan Zhao finally understood as he asked in a low voice, "Where is this place?"

After a long silence, Chen Li said hesitantly, "It's...The guest room."

"Which guest room?"

"Just now...The guest room that I just delivered room service to..." Chen Li seemed a little confused. Zhan Zhao asked the person to turn off the music and turn on the lights. Chen Li gasped, "Why...Why am I back here..."

Bai Yutang frowned at him and asked Zhan Zhao, "Cat, what's wrong with him?"

Zhan Zhao shook his head gently and said, "Nothing. He was hypnotized!"
