Chapter 515: Chapter 254: First Clash, Battle Again
"Mr. Xue, you are too kind. The cooperation between the police and the public is truly commendable here."
"Indeed, we came here to investigate and didn’t expect Mr. Xue was already so prepared."
"Hahaha."
Seeing the smiles on their faces, Luo Fei gave a slight cough.
Reminded by the team leader, the three of them immediately became serious. They had been somewhat bewildered by the other’s actions and indeed had lost their composure.
Xue Dongchuan’s face carried a smile, appearing quite amiable.
However, at this moment, in Luo Fei’s eyes, the other party was already exposed, with a shroud of black aura over his head, not very obvious, but irrefutable evidence nonetheless.
Under the Eye of Sin, no matter how he tries to evade, it’s useless. Meticulous disguises are ultimately futile.
Luo Fei sneered inwardly. Even if the other party wasn’t directly orchestrating, he was definitely not unrelated to the matter.
"Officer, are you here to gather some information, or do you need my staff to assist with the investigation?"
It was apparent that such composed behavior was a conditioned response formed after encountering many such situations, rather than an intentional act.
"Nothing much, just wanted to learn a bit about your banquet, Mr. Xue."
At this point, Xue Dongchuan seemed to suddenly remember something.
"I have some video materials here that I’m sure you’ll be interested in."
But before he could get up to fetch the computer, Luo Fei pressed his shoulder, and they both sat back on the sofa.
"It’s not necessary."
His tone was firm, and a cold gleam flashed in Luo Fei’s eyes.
"We just need to ask you here; no need to trouble ourselves."
On the side, Zhang Wei and the others were a bit puzzled but didn’t say anything. In such moments, no matter how bizarre, they chose to trust and stand by their team leader.
"Uh, okay, no problem."
"Officer, please go ahead."
"After attending your banquet, they should have left directly, but it seems they encountered accidents outside afterward. Haven’t you noticed this?"
"An accident? Wasn’t it said that they disappeared! Why would there be an accident?"
Xue Dongchuan responded with composure and quickly shook his head.
"Officer, didn’t the news online recently say that they’re merely missing, their fate is still uncertain? Making such conclusions so early seems a bit premature."
Luo Fei smiled slightly upon hearing this.
"That’s true, indeed I was a bit hasty."
On the side, Zhang Wei and the others were quite perplexed, very surprised at Luo Fei’s performance today. Usually, the team leader never makes such errors, wouldn’t speak without concrete evidence.
Stern and meticulous, especially regarding those perplexing cases.
How come today, during the interrogation, such a mishap occurred? Could it be intentional?
Even with significant doubts, the three didn’t speak up but kept a close watch instead.
"Mr. Xue, your winery is quite impressive. It seems like you indeed deserve the position of the city’s liquor industry leader."
Hearing the unexpected praise, Xue Dongchuan was initially taken aback, then burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, Officer, you must be joking. It’s all thanks to my friends’ support."
"Are all those guests at the banquet friends of Mr. Xue’s? Among them, some have special relations with you, while a few might even be competitors. Was this arrangement deliberately set by Mr. Xue?"
Suddenly shifting the topic, Luo Fei went straight to the point, stabbing into the heart of the matter.
What he aimed for was an unexpected offense!
It was a casual conversation and praise, then suddenly the topic became so serious. Not to mention Zhang Wei and the others, even a seasoned player like Xue Dongchuan was momentarily caught off guard.
"Uh, ah... hahaha, after all, we’re in the same trade, attending my event is just showing me face."
"Although we still have some unfinished business in our cooperation currently, taking this opportunity to resolve past misunderstandings would be ideal. At the very least, we can leave a good impression on each other."
It’s no surprise he’s a seasoned player, managing to smooth it over like that.
Luo Fei stood up and started pacing around, but his eyes weren’t idle, the winery’s environment was quite special, offering a perfect opportunity for observation.
"Officer, is there anything else you’d like to ask? I’ve prepared some water and snacks for everyone here; I hope you can oblige us."
Luo Fei naturally ignored him.
The three nearby also didn’t respond, everyone sat quietly, none daring to act without Luo Fei’s command.
"One more thing, Mr. Xue, the design of this winery is really nice."
"How long has it been here?"
"Well, two years ago, business was booming, so to entertain guests conveniently and to showcase the grandeur of our Huabang Spirits, I specifically built this winery here, with cellars and some temperature-controlled storage rooms underground."
"Oh, so it’s been two years already."
At this point, Luo Fei finally displayed a smile, then slowly walked over.
"Today, I just wanted to meet you, Mr. Xue. For further development of the case, we’ll certainly need to investigate further. I hope it won’t trouble an outstanding entrepreneur like Mr. Xue."
Immediately, Xue Dongchuan exhibited a surprised look.
"Oh my, what are you saying?"
"Officer, you’re too kind. Cooperation between the police and civilians is our duty. Without your painstaking efforts to safeguard the people’s happiness and well-being, how would we have the safe times we do today?"
Thus, they exchanged a few rounds of Tai Chi, and Luo Fei left with the others.
Before leaving, the other party showed a very serious and solemn demeanor.
