Chapter 253: Alibi

Mo Li, Xiao Rui, and Kang Zhi stared at him, waiting for him to say something.

“I don’t like to speak ill of others but since they have already talked behind my back, I guess all bets are off.

“That old man over there, he wanted to get a raise and have more off days so he quarreled with the boss. He threatened the boss with something. At the time, I was preoccupied so I didn’t hear him clearly.

“As for that vixen, she might look meek and submissive, but she is a good schemer. There was a worker who forgot to greet her, she jotted down the girl’s name and then had the HR fire the girl immediately. This kind of people is extremely insidious. I really don’t get why Dong Yun keep her by his side. He probably didn’t see through her facade.”

Andy then sighed. “Speaking of, now that the fatty is a dead fatty, my rice bowl is gone. This is a great loss for me.” He turned to Mo Li, “Girl, why don’t you introduce me to some people in the entertainment business?” He then winked at Xiao Rui, “If they’re as handsome as this hunk over here, I am willing to charge a much lower price. Or hunkie dory, are you interested?”

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Xiao Rui stood up, annoyed by the man.

Looking at Xiao Rui, Kang Zhi shook his head.

“Ha ha, I’m just joking. Officer, you are so sensitive.”

Mo Li scratched her chin. She found all these interesting.

…

After they were done with the questioning, Mo Li looked at the layout drawing Yu Xuan just gave her. She spread it before everyone and pointed at a path. “Where does this lead to?”

“Ah, this is a fire safety corridor that connects to the chairman’s room, but it hasn’t been used for a long time already. The exit is blocked off with many different stuff, due to warning from the fire department, the chairman opened the other safety staircase. Which as you know isn’t used for its intended purpose either.”

“Hmm.” Mo Li said with interest.

“Did you notice something?”

“Give me a pen.” Mo Li extended her hand. Xiao Rui looked around before he found one. Mo Li connected 4 paths with straight lines. Xiao Rui was stunned.

“The distance might be different but it’s clear that these paths are interconnected. So one might not need to use the elevator to reach the chairman’s office. However, the main question is still the motive. Why was Dong Yun killed?”

Xiao Rui shook his head. That was something they had been trying to figure out too.

Kang Zhi looked at the almanac and offered, “Could this be an attempt to ruin this place’s Feng Sui? Based on the almanac, it is inauspicious for blood to show in these few days.”

Xiao Rui tapped Kang Zhi on the back of his head. “We’re the police, what nonsense are you talking about?”

“I was only offering a guess, who knows, it might be the truth.”

Yu Xian shook her head. “I can’t imagine someone would kill the chairman for something like that.”

Kang Zhi asked, “Did your boss believe in things like Feng Shui? Or he has friends who are really into this kind of things?”

“No, it’s the complete opposite. Our boss hated this kind of superstition the most. In fact, there was an incident in the past that could tell you how much our boss hated these things.”

“What is it?”

“There was a brand counter who moved the layout without informing the boss for the sake of Feng Shui. When the boss heard about it, he had me approach the counter. At the time, it was a girl who manned the counter. I took down her name and handed it to the boss. I assumed the boss would take this up to her superior but the boss fired the girl immediately. I was shocked, I had no idea the girl would lose her job because of it. I was quite worried for her.”

“Can you still remember the girl’s name?” Mo Li asked. She felt something was wrong.

“I can only remember she’s called something Jing. It was too long ago.”

“What were you doing from 9 pm to 9.30 pm yesterday?”

“I was in a meeting, a new season is coming. I had to work with statistics, everyone was working overtime.”

“Then how could you find time to go to Huan Yu yesterday afternoon?” Mo Li was confused so she asked.

Speaking of this, Yu Xuan smiled. “I went to visit a friend there. Both of us like zombie movies and she said she had her hands on some figurines of a famous zombie movies! We chatted until we lost track of time. You can confirm it with her. Her name is Jing Zhen. You should know about her, she’s quite a famous actor.”

“How is that possible?”
