Chapter 97 Feng Zi
Zhang Chao's fall seemed to have damaged his language system.
Seeing his look, Lin Wenjue wanted to ask him a few more questions, but he refused to speak a word. He stood there like a statue, looking extremely frightened and sad.
Lin Wenjue and the others had no choice but to leave first.
The three of them walked out of the door of the New and Johor Foreign Trade Company and were about to share their achievements when they heard someone behind them shouting, "Mr. Policeman!"
Lin Wenjue and the others turned around at the same time and found that the person who called them was the company receptionist who had just led them there.
The girl at the front desk looked back at the company's gate and ran up to me in a hurry: "It's a bit inconvenient here, can we find a more secluded place to talk?"
Lin Wenjue and the others exchanged glances, and soon Cao Bin glanced and pointed at a wall not far away: "There is a corner there, it's cool with trees blocking it, let's go there."
The girl at the front desk nodded hurriedly and ran over as if she was afraid of being seen.
Lin Wenjue and the others soon followed.
"My name is Feng Zi, I'm the front desk officer at Xinrou. I want to ask, are you here this time... for Boss Pei's business?"
As soon as they walked over, the receptionist started speaking quickly and hurriedly.
Lin Wenjue looked at her and said, "You can say that, but to be more precise, I came here for your boss's wife Zhou Wanrou."
"Boss lady?" Feng Zi was at a loss for a moment: "Why boss lady?"
Lin Wenjue laughed: "Then tell me, why can't it be her?"
Feng Zi was stunned, her face flushed and she waved her hands: "That's not what I meant. I just didn't expect it. I thought you were here to see Boss Pei."
"You called us, you must want to say something, right?" Seeing her getting nervous, Cao Bin quickly smiled and said, "Do you know something?"
Feng Zi looked at them hesitantly and asked tentatively: "Can I ask what happened to our boss lady?"
Cao Bin looked at Lin Wenjue to ask.
"She was murdered."
Lin Wenjue thought for a moment and said, "She was murdered. So, if you know anything, I hope you will tell us. This will help us find her murderer as soon as possible."
Hearing the news of Zhou Wanrou's murder, Feng Zi took a step back. She leaned against the wall, looking shocked, and then suddenly opened her eyes wide: "It must be related to Boss Pei and Ji Shiqing!"
"Ji Shiqing?"
Cao Bin's eyes lit up, and he immediately said to Lin Wenjue and Juanmao, "Ji Shiqing is the employee I just went to talk to. There is something strange about her."
As he said this, he felt strange again: "Ji Shiqing said that she has only been in the company for about two months. In such a short time, she has conflicts with your boss's wife?"
Curly frowned and spoke up: "According to your colleagues, your boss's wife rarely comes to the company, and I haven't heard anyone say that she has conflicts with the company's employees."
Feng Zi shook her head and sneered, "Ji Shiqing just came to the company two months ago, but she has known Boss Pei for more than just these two months. I know this best."
She thought for a moment and continued, "Before joining the company, Ji Shiqing was also engaged in foreign trade-related work. She worked in our cooperative company before. When Boss Pei was negotiating a big deal, she was the secretary of the other company. I went to dinner with Boss Pei several times at that time, and they knew each other since then. Counting it all... it was two years ago."
In other words, Ji Shiqing and Pei Xinlu had known each other two years ago.
"So, you suspect that your boss Pei has a special relationship with this Ji Shiqing, right?" Lin Wenjue said.
Feng Zi shook her head, looking earnest: "I'm not doubting it, I saw it with my own eyes! I can be sure that it was because the two of them were having an affair that Ji Shiqing came to Xinrou."
She sighed, but her tone was filled with a bit of disdain: "Not only do I know about this, Manager Zhang also knows about it. He is also a good friend of our boss's wife. But when he saw Boss Pei and Ji Shiqing so... so colluding with each other... he always turned a blind eye, and sometimes he even helped Boss Pei cover up."
"Did Zhang Chao also know about Pei Xinlu and Ji Shiqing?" Lin Wenjue asked. Recalling what Zhang Chao said and his expression at that time, he was sure that what Feng Zi said was true.
"This is the bad nature of men."
Feng Zi looked at the three men in front of her: "Officer, although what I said is unpleasant, most men are like this. When encountering such things, they either cover for each other or are afraid of offending others and just want to stay away from them. Even if Manager Zhang and the boss's wife have a good relationship, when it comes to men cheating, only women can empathize with each other. As for men..."
She stopped and looked at the three men in front of her with different expressions. After thinking for a while, she said the second half of the sentence.
She said: "You can only empathize with men when they are cheated on... If you cheat on yourselves, you don't think it's a big deal..."
"Hey, girl..."
Cao Bin disagreed: "Although what you said makes some sense, you can't generalize, right? For example, I..."
“It doesn’t matter!”
Feng Ziyi interrupted him righteously: "I once sent a message to our boss's wife using an unfamiliar mobile phone number, asking her to pay attention to the relationship between Boss Pei and Ji Shiqing, but I don't know if she took it seriously, and I couldn't find her in person..."
"How is your relationship with Zhou Wanrou?" Lin Wenjue asked her, " When you did this, weren't you afraid that it would affect you?"
Feng Zi laughed at him: "It's okay if it's affected. I'm not that familiar with the boss lady, but I just don't want her to be kept in the dark. Many girls would do the same, unlike you men..."
Lin Wenjue sneered: "Then...then how can you be sure that Zhou Wanrou's death is related to Pei Xinlu and Ji Shiqing?"
"It just doesn't feel right to me."
Feng Zi said: "Two months ago, I saw Boss Pei and Ji Shiqing quarreling. The quarrel was very serious. Oh, yes, I still have the video here!"
She took out her phone and said, "But I was very far away, so I don't know what they said specifically. Anyway, I feel comfortable telling you these things. You can read it for yourselves. I don't know anything else."
Lin Wenjue and the others watched the video on her phone. As she said, although the video did not show what Pei Xinlu and Ji Shiqing were arguing about, it was clear that the argument between them was intense.
While transmitting the video, Cao Bin said, "Hey, it would be great if everyone could cooperate like you, right? That would make it so much easier for us."
Feng Zi blinked: "Officer, there are still many normal people."
Lin Wenjue and the others smiled at the same time, but Feng Zi couldn't understand whether their smiles expressed helplessness or affirmation.
She had said everything she wanted to say, and she stuck her head out to look at the company gate. She casually waved to Lin Wenjue and the others, then quickly ran across the street and disappeared into the crowd.
As soon as she left, Lin Wenjue and Juanmao returned to the police station. Cao Bin did not go with them. He also wanted to determine Pei Xinlu's last place through traffic routes and network usage.
At the same time, Chi Xia and Luo Xun also arrived at Zhian Sanatorium.
