Chapter 308 Everyone is under surveillance

Just as Chi Xia thought, everything was under Lao K's surveillance from the moment they entered the office building of Daguang Group.
There are five monitors hanging on the wall of the study, showing images from several perspectives.
From the moment Chi Xia and Luo Xun entered Qu Bai's office, Old K's attention was only focused on the two monitors in the middle.
Cheng Jiu came in with tea. He was wearing a black suit. Although he was wrapped tightly, the wound on his neck was still visible.
When he came in, Old K shifted his gaze: "Come?"
Cheng Jiu responded, put down the teacup, stood beside him respectfully, and saw Chi Xia asking Qu Bai in the video.
"What is your relationship with Deng Runmei?" Chi Xia asked.
"It doesn't matter." Qu Bai slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"Since there is no relationship, why did the orphanage's land transfer to your name after Deng Runmei passed away?"
Chi Xia said with a bit of aggressiveness: "You should have been only 20 years old at that time. How could you have the ability to obtain the right to use this land? Why did he stop operating the orphanage five years after you took over? Moreover, the basement we found in the orphanage is at least 15 years old. Did you know it existed?"
"Officer, you asked me so many questions at once. Which one should I answer first?"
"Come one by one." Chi Xia said.
Qu Bai leisurely leaned back on the sofa: "Why is that piece of land under my name? This is not within my choice. It's just that the development of the group needs someone to settle it. I took over the orphanage five years later and closed it down. This is not within my responsibility because I didn't participate in its operation. As for the basement you mentioned, it's still the same as the previous question. I didn't participate in the operation and I've never been to that place. How do I know what the basement is?"
After hearing his answer, Chi Xia actually smiled a little: "So, who is actually responsible for the operation of the orphanage?"
"Daguang Group is so big, and it's just a piece of land that has not been used for a long time. I don't know about this." Qu Bai said.
"This person is Mo Laoqi."
Chi Xia took out a photo of Mo Laoqi and said, "During our investigation, we found that after you, the land use right holder changed to him. Mr. Qu, you won't say that you don't know him, right?"
Qu Bai leaned forward and looked at the photo: "I really don't recognize it."
"Are you sure?" Chi Xia asked back.
Qu Bai laughed and looked at her: "Officer Chi, do you think I should know him?"
Chi Xia saw Luo Xun take out his cell phone and take a look at it, then he looked over at her.
She said to Qu Bai: "Indeed, I think you should have an impression of this person."
She looked at Luo Xun, who took out his phone and pushed it over to her: "Our colleagues have found that Mr. Mo has been in and out of the Daguang Group office building many times. This shouldn't be an unrelated person coming in to visit, right?"
Qu Bai watched him scroll through several photos, all of which were photos of Mo Laoqi going in and out of Daguang.
He still smiled calmly: "If that's the case, he could indeed be an employee of Daguang, but there are so many employees in Daguang, I don't necessarily need to know every one of them, right?"
"I heard that the boss of Daguang Group is very mysterious and rarely shows up."
Luo Xun took back the phone: "Mr. Qu, we want to know his identity information."
Qu Bai shook his head: "Sorry, this won't work."
"Deng Runmei is just a kindergarten teacher who has always lived in Pingxi County."
Chi Xia then spoke up: "If there was no accident, she would not be related to a piece of inexplicable land, so our colleagues checked and found this person."
Chi Xia took out a photo of Lao K and placed it on the table. "This man is Huang Weisheng, Deng Runmei's husband . He used to be a literature teacher at a university in Dongzhou. Later, he was dismissed by the school because of his personal conduct. We investigated the history of the Daguang Group and found that the mysterious boss seems to have some overlap with this man."
"Officer Chi, do you have any evidence ?" Qu Bai asked.
"Of course."
Chi Xia also smiled, with no other emotions visible. While she was talking, Luo Xun took out some documents.
"This woman's name is Gao Lan."
Chi Xia said: "She was once Huang Weisheng's lover, and was later imprisoned for manslaughter and eventually died of a myocardial infarction."
Qu Bai was curious: "Hmm?"
Chi Xia continued, "Before Gao Lan went to prison, he donated all his property to Jintai Technology Company. That was a considerable sum of money. According to our investigation, Jintai Technology should be the most powerful branch of Daguang Group in recent years, right?"
Qu Bai's expression turned serious at this time: "So based on this, you concluded that Mr. Huang is the boss behind Daguang?"
“Not all.”
Chi Xia nodded: "As for why I am so sure, it is because of this place."
Qu Bai looked at her with interest: "Officer Chi, do you want to say that you are extremely smart, or do you have other intentions?"
"The second one." Chi Xia said.
Qu Bai stared at her with a little more inquiry in his eyes.
Just at this moment, there was a knock on Qu Bai's office door.
The topic fell, and Ade walked in and whispered in Qu Bai's ear: "Old K asked you to stop first."
Qu Bai nodded, and Ade did not go out again. He stood beside Qu Bai with his hands crossed.
Chi Xia did not intend to stop. She took out some photos again: "These are the thirty-six skeletons we found in the orphanage. We have reason to suspect that these skeletons are victims who were studied in the basement during the operation of the orphanage. Judging from the time span, Mr. Qu, you are also a suspect. Please do not leave Dongzhou recently and cooperate with our investigation at any time."
Ade frowned: "No, our husband has an important meeting abroad."
"No problem." Qu Bai raised his hand to stop Ade from saying anything further: "Okay, I will cooperate."
"Then let's get back to talking about Mo Laoqi."
Chi Xia smiled and said, "Mr. Qu, it shouldn't be too much for the police to want information about Mo Laoqi, right?"
Ade frowned again and looked at Qu Bai.
"Of course." Qu Bai said, "Ade, go find the HR department and give the police comrades the relevant information about Mo Laoqi."
Ade was a little reluctant, but he nodded. Before leaving, he said, "You have another meeting later. It's urgent. Don't forget it."
Qu Bai hummed.
After Ade left, Qu Bai asked Chi Xia: "Officer Chi, I have a question off topic. I wonder if you mind if I ask it."
Chi Xia and Luo Xun both looked over at him.
Especially Luo Xun, he frowned and his eyes were full of defensiveness.
"Okay, ask." Chi Xia said.
Qu Bai picked up the teacup again and took a sip of tea. When he put the cup down, he asked Chi Xia: " Have we met before?"
"when?"
There was a hint of inquiry on Chi Xia's face, which was accurately transmitted to Lao K's eyes through the surveillance.
"This is a photo of me when I was a kid." Qu Bai took out a photo and pushed it over: "I wonder if Officer Chi has any impression of it?"
Chi Xia stared at the photo for a long time, frowning, doubtful, and still looking at the surveillance camera while thinking about the past.
"Chi Xia." Luo Xun called Chi Xia.
Chi Xia came back to her senses, and Lao K saw from the surveillance video that the confusion on her face disappeared instantly.
"I probably haven't seen it." Chi Xia held up the photo and said, "I also have a favor to ask."
Qu Bai stretched out his hand: "You say."
“Can you give me this photo?”
There was a flash of surprise on Luo Xun and Qu Bai's faces.
"Of course." Qu Bai agreed to Chi Xia without much thought.
Chi Xia picked up the photo and stood up: "Thank you, but Mr. Qu, I hope our next meeting can be more pleasant."
After Luo Xun and Chi Xia left Daguang Group, Lao K turned off the surveillance. He was silent for a while, and seemed to remember that there was someone standing next to him.
"What are you going to do with those corpses?" he asked.
Cheng Jiu didn't know what to do, so he lowered his head and said nothing.
"I'm asking you a question." Lao K took the covered bowl and blew away the tea leaves floating on the surface.
Cheng Jiuxin made up his mind: "I suspect this matter is related to Mo Laoqi, and I heard that... Mo Laoqi has been captured by Zhao Wuye's people."
"How are you going to do this?"
Cheng Jiu pursed his lips and expressed his thoughts: "Now that the police have found out about him, why not...put the blame on him."
Old K put down the teacup neither lightly nor heavily.
Cheng Jiu's heart suddenly began to tighten.
But he said, "Let's make it quick. I don't want any complications to affect my plan. It will make life miserable for everyone."
Cheng Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, a look of joy appeared on his face: "I know!"
"Once we find Mr. Mo, there's no need to keep him." Old K said again.
