Chapter 250: All Suspects

“You two know each other?” Hearing Kang Zhi, Xiao Rui and Mo Li turned to him at the same time. Seeing Yu Xuan’s familiar face, Kang Zhi nodded. “When Mo Li went to Huan Yu yesterday, I was waiting for her downstairs. Before Mo Li came down, Miss Yu Xuan came down and bumped into me, that was you, right? You look different without glasses.” Kang Zhi smiled kindly at Yu Xuan. Xiao Rui sighed. If this kid isn’t a police officer, he’d make a good matchmaker.

Mo Li glanced at Yu Xuan. She has been to Huan Yu?

“Oh yes! I was so sorry about yesterday. I wasn’t paying attention back then. So sorry.” Yu Xuan lifted her head to look at Kang Zhi and then apologized profusely.

“We have work to do.” Xiao Rui coughed and interrupted. Then Yu Xuan led them towards Dong Yun’s office.

“Why… is this elevator so small? A booth can only fit so many people. It’ll be so troublesome when it’s high traffic hour.” Kang Zhi shrunk at the corner. If Mo Li was as outgoing as Kang Zhi, probably Jiang Yao wouldn’t worry that she had no friend.

“This elevator goes straight to the chairman’s officer on the 13th floor. It’s a private elevator, hence the size.” Perhaps she had imagined it but Mo Li felt like this Yu Xuan was extremely cautious, even the smile on her face seemed very fake. “So this elevator can only move between 2 floors, the 1st floor and the 13th floor.” Yu Xian then she leaned down towards a small led screen on the panel. A robotic voice said, “Cornea verification confirmed, elevator going up.”

Si Lin frowned. She asked. “I remember Chairman Dong is not that short, why is the screen so low?”

“Oh, it’s because of the chairman’s physical condition.”

“But the victim has no physical deformity.” Mo Li who had not said anything corrected. Yu Xian was startled before she turned around with an awkward smile, “Yes, I didn’t mean it that way. It’s because he’d get tired from walking so the screen is designed like this.”

While Mo Li planned to press for more details, they already arrived. When the elevator opened, everyone was shocked.

Kang Zhi lifted his head and took in the giant portrait that stretched from ceiling to the floor. “Dong Yun… sure is confident in himself.” Kang Zhi really didn’t want to comment on people’s appearance but it was hard to do when the person had a giant portrait of themselves placed before you. The man had a round face, and double chin. Kang Zhi wondered how Mo Li managed to get through the layers during the autopsy.

Xiao Rui looked around and asked, “This is the only entrance?”

Yu Xuan thought to herself. “I suppose so. Since the elevator uses corneal verification, other than the chairman, only me and 2 other workers have access… I hope that won’t mean that I’m a suspect.”

“Ha ha, Miss Yu, don’t worry. Miss Mo Li and our captain will investigate this case closely. They will not capture anyone willy-nilly.”

“Who are the others who have access?” Xiao Rui turned to Yu Xuan. Based on what she said, the killer had to be one of the 3. He only needed to find the most suspicious one and then arrest that person. That should be enough to satisfy Chief Li.

Xiao Rui didn’t want to waste time on this case. For cases like this which involved religious influence, solving it wouldn’t help his career. Furthermore, it would take up a lot of time and research if he was to delve deep into this case. Xiao Rui’s face turned up with impatience.

“It’s Chairman Dong’s assistant, Andy and his driver, Mr. Zhao. Right, Mr. Zhao was the first to discover the body. They are at the office downstairs, do you need me to call them up?”

“Si Lin, go and check the camera records and then the elevator records.”

“Okay.”

“You’ll need to pass the corneal scan to use the elevator, so let me go with you!” Yu Xuan smiled at Si Lin as she moved towards her.

“Why did you send her away? Do you suspect her?” Mo Li asked when Yu Xuan and Si Lin got further away.

“Before we have any evidence, everyone is a suspect.” Xiao Rui glanced at Yu Xuan through the closing door. Kang Zhi didn’t notice the conversation between Xiao Rui and Mo Li. He picked up the picture on the table.
