The Mystery of the Inner Demon

Chapter 338 Inferior

There must be something fishy about why she didn't mention it to them.

"Yes, someone went to Mr. Tian's place before you." Faced with questioning, Li Shuangshuang surprisingly admitted that she had seen the person who knocked on the door.

This was unexpected by Qi Fei, who asked in bewilderment, "Why didn't you tell me about something so important that night?"

“He’s just a deliveryman, I didn’t think it was important.” Li Shuangshuang obviously didn’t think there was anything wrong with it.

"A deliveryman? Which delivery company delivers at midnight?" Qi Fei frowned.

“Then…then…” Li Shuangshuang was stumped by the question and muttered, “I didn’t think that much about it back then.”

"By the way, you called your mother from inside the car?" Qi Fei remembered the bugging device found in the car and roughly understood how the person who sent the message to Tian Mi knew they were tailing her.

Sure enough, Li Shuangshuang nodded.

"By the way, in the past year, you were the person closest to Dong Ziwu. Besides family members, has anyone else driven this black car you drive?" Qi Fei asked.

Li Shuangshuang looked embarrassed and whispered, "Sometimes he'll ask his colleagues to drive for him..."

Qi Fei sighed inwardly. He had guessed it. Dong Ziwu had started putting on airs as soon as he took office. The person who drove for him was very likely the real murderer.

Do you know who he asked to drive?

"That's not necessarily true. I've seen him sometimes making phone calls, calling whoever is available."

"So more than one person drove for him?"

"Yes……"

Do you know which people they are?

"It's hard to say, but most of the people in the computing power department probably helped out." Li Shuangshuang's voice trailed off.
-
The computing power department of Nancheng Investment is a key newly established department of the group, and the most backbone personnel have been transferred to it. However, these people do not have the vigor to start a business. Instead, they are all dejected and even resentful.

“I have a full bachelor’s and master’s degree from Nancheng University. Compared to Dong Ziwu, I just lack parents who know how to get things done. My family doesn’t know any of those leaders. But this isn’t my fault. Why does he treat me like a nobody?” a young man of similar age to Dong Ziwu said excitedly.

"You're lucky, you were the one who took him to a meeting. I'm the one who's really suffering, I had to run errands for him, like buying him flowers. Everyone in our department is his servant," the female employee next to her said irritably.

"Forget it, the person is gone, so just say less," Old Qian said helplessly from the side.

“We only dare to speak out because he’s gone. Otherwise, if it got to Mr. Tian’s ears, he’d make things difficult for us again. To be honest, when we heard about his accident, we weren’t sad at all. We even felt relieved. We’ve had enough of being his lackey!” another employee said angrily.

Qi Fei did not expect that the investigation of suspicious persons would turn into a roast session.

Dong Ziwu's indiscriminate ordering of his department staff has now become the perfect smokescreen to cover up the murderer; everyone harbors resentment towards him, and everyone is a suspect. However, when asked if anyone was called to drive on the day Dong Ziwu disappeared, everyone vehemently denies it.

At this moment, Meng Qian appeared in Qi Fei's field of vision. She was the one who provided the clue that Dong Ziwu got into the black car. However, at this moment, she stood far away and had no intention of joining in the吐槽 (tu cao, meaning to complain or criticize).

Qi Fei took the initiative to step forward and ask her, but Meng Qian walked away when she saw this.

Qi Fei followed her to a quiet corner in the corridor outside the office.

“I don’t want to talk about my relationship with Dong Ziwu in front of them.” Meng Qian looked haggard. “Recently, the rumors about my love triangle with Dong Ziwu and Li Shuangshuang have spread outside the company. Even my college classmates have come to ask me about it.” As she spoke, she buried her face in her hands and cried in grievance. “I am his official girlfriend. Now they all say that I am the other woman.”

Qi Fei was at a loss and said, oblivious to the situation, "I know you're hurt, but I still have a question for you. Since you've been with Dong Ziwu for so many years, you can't not recognize his car. Was the black sedan he got into that day his own?"

Meng Qian shook her head: "I don't know. I was angry that day, and I saw the car stop..."

"You have absolutely no recollection of it?" Qi Fei pressed on, unwilling to give up.

“Actually, I’m not familiar with his car…” Meng Qian said, her voice tinged with bitterness. “To avoid exposing our relationship, he always took a taxi when we went out together, so… I simply couldn’t tell him.”

"Senior brother, I need to borrow your space." Zhong Xiaoyu said politely as she entered Jiang Tianyi's counseling room. "Politeness," however, was a word that Zhong Kui never associated with.

"It's great that you've decided to come back," Jiang Tianyi said with relief as he looked at Zhong Xiaoyu, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.

"Yes, Qi Fei asked me for help to help an eyewitness recall the details of what happened. I need a professional place to hypnotize her." Zhong Xiaoyu's hand stroked the familiar recliner. This kind of consultation room used to be her beloved little world.

"Your hypnosis skills are far superior to mine. Qi Fei has found the right person," Jiang Tianyi said with a smile.

As they were talking, Qi Fei accompanied Meng Qian into the consultation room.

With Qi Fei and Jiang Tianyi gone, only Zhong Xiaoyu and Meng Qian remained in the room.

Guided by Zhong Xiaoyu, Meng Qian slowly closed her eyes on the recliner and began to drift into her memories: "The wind was strong at the building entrance. I was furious and grabbed Dong Ziwu's clothes, demanding a promise from him. Dong Ziwu angrily shook off my hand. I've known him for so many years and have never seen him like that before. It really broke my heart. I don't know when, but that black sedan had stopped by the entrance. When Dong Ziwu saw the car, it was like seeing a lifeline. He said he had an appointment to discuss something and didn't have time to chat with me."

I questioned him about who he had arranged to meet, asking why it was such a big deal. He got angry, called me a crazy woman, shoved me aside, and walked towards his car. I watched him open the car door and slam it shut behind him.

"You were very angry, and you were staring at that car. What did you see? Like the person driving it?" Zhong Xiaoyu's voice lingered outside the scene of the memory, guiding Meng Qian into the depths of her memory.

"Yes, I stared intently at the car. The driver was wearing a hat and turned around to say something to Dong Ziwu."

"What kind of hat is it?"

"Those fisherman's hats, the kind you wear when you're fishing..."

"anything else?"

"Oh, when the car drove away, I saw the rear window and there was that plush toy inside. It was the one that Dong Ziwu and I won together at the claw machine. I remember now, that was his car."
