Upon hearing this, the police were momentarily speechless.

However, since it's a clue, they naturally won't let it go and will investigate it one by one.

The police officers exchanged glances, and one of them nodded in agreement. "Okay, we'll follow this lead and investigate."

We will notify you as soon as we have any news.

Zhou Si nodded.

The police then asked, "Also, how is the injured person now? We need to conduct a routine interview with him to understand the specific circumstances of the incident."

Zhou Si replied, "I haven't come out of the emergency room yet, so I'm afraid I won't be able to cooperate with your inquiries for the time being."

However, that's possible. Let's check our company's surveillance footage first.

If, as you suspect, someone left flammable materials in the office, then the surveillance footage might provide some clues.

The police officer nodded, his gaze steady, and replied, "Our people have already gone to the monitoring room with your security personnel."

Go and see for yourself; maybe they've already found out something.

The security captain, quick-witted as ever, immediately stepped forward and said decisively, "I'll take you to the monitoring room!"

The police officer nodded again and said simply, "Thank you for your help!"

The security captain waved his hand modestly, indicating that it was his duty.

Then he turned around and led the way.

Soon, the group took the elevator downstairs and arrived at the monitoring room.

As I pushed open the door, I indeed saw several police officers and security personnel inside.

They were intently watching the large screen, replaying the video frame by frame with great care.

After the police officer leading the team entered, his gaze swept over the busy crowd, and he asked in a calm but urgent voice, "How is it? Have you found anything?"

Upon hearing this, the head of the investigation team immediately reported with a solemn expression, "We have investigated the people who have entered and exited the office over the past few days."

Besides the injured person himself, there was the cleaning lady, his trusted assistant, his secretary, a few clients, and the security guards on patrol.

So far, after the investigation, no one has been identified as having an obvious problem.

After listening to the report, Zhou Si asked, "Besides these, there should be other personnel, right?"

As far as he knew, the old man and Isa had also been coming in and out of David's office these past few days.

Isa went twice.

The police officer nodded in confirmation, his tone slightly hesitant, "Yes, there was. His wife and father both came."

But surely they wouldn't do anything to harm him?

After all, we're all family.

Zhou Si scoffed inwardly, "That's not necessarily true."

He dismissed it, reminding them, "At times like these, anyone could commit a crime."

Officer, you'd better be careful and not let any of them get away.

What if?

Brothers quarreling, fathers and sons at odds, husbands and wives turning against each other—love turning into hate is nothing new!

The police officer in charge thought that there was some truth to that.

In police records, this kind of thing is not unusual.

It was their oversight; they still need to be cautious and not let any suspicious person slip by.

But what's wrong with this kid?

Is it an attitude of trying to drag the entire Lantes tribe down with them?

Aren't they a family?

I've only ever seen people cover up wrongdoings, but I've rarely seen someone so righteous and awe-inspiring.

Even the police couldn't help but take another look at Zhou Si.

Zhou Si remained calm and asked softly, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with what I said?"

The policeman shook his head and replied, "No, not at all."

Zhou Si nodded slowly, "That's good. I'll have someone call them over now."

"Officer, you can question those suspicious employees first."

The police had no objections.

Zhou Si immediately instructed his assistant and contact person behind him, his tone calm but leaving no room for doubt.

The assistant immediately nodded in agreement, quickly walked to the corner, and made a phone call.

While waiting, Zhou Si led his people to the reception room.

The office was quiet, save for the ticking of the clock on the wall and the occasional sound of traffic outside the window.

The police took the opportunity to look around, organize their thoughts, and prepare to question the suspicious employees as soon as they arrived.

About half an hour later, all the summoned personnel arrived.

David's assistant and secretary were both a little confused.

The cleaning lady was completely baffled.

After all, it's late at night, and everyone has already finished work and is resting at home.

Being suddenly called back to the company and told that I might be involved in a fire and had become a suspect would be unsettling for anyone.

The police gestured for them to sit down and said to them in as calm a tone as possible, "Don't be nervous. We've just called you here to ask some routine questions."

If you cooperate well, you'll be able to go home and rest soon.

None of them dared to object, and they all said, "Okay, okay, we will cooperate."

Despite what the police said, the atmosphere was completely different when they actually started questioning people.

The questions were thrown out one after another, not only interconnected but also extremely tricky in their angles, pointing directly to the key details.

Moreover, his attitude and tone became unusually sharp, and his gaze scrutinized everyone's reactions with keen insight.

David's assistant and secretary, after all, were workplace elites who had seen it all.

Faced with such intense questioning, although I was inevitably nervous inside, I still tried my best to remain calm on the surface and gave a fairly clear and organized answer.

In contrast, the cleaning lady was trembling with fear throughout, her voice shaking as she answered questions.

He could barely speak a complete sentence, clearly he was quite frightened.

Zhou Si watched from the sidelines.

I don't think the police can get anything out of that question.

If this continues, it will likely be all in vain, and no valuable information will be extracted.

He had already obtained the surveillance video and was sitting at his desk, carefully examining the footage frame by frame.

Judging from the video, there was basically nothing wrong with this group of people entering and leaving David's office!

David's office was under comprehensive surveillance, clearly capturing everyone's every move, even the slightest facial expressions, and there was absolutely nothing suspicious about it.

Every time the assistant enters, he always carries a thick folder, rushes to the desk to report on official business, or puts down the file and quickly leaves.

The secretary did the same, without making any unnecessary moves.

Besides cleaning, the cleaning lady doesn't dare touch any sensitive areas or places she shouldn't touch!

As for the visiting clients, they would usually go straight to the sofa and sit down as soon as they entered.

No one ever went near David's desk.

Now that’s fun!

Nothing can be seen.

But flammable materials were found on David's desk?

Who exactly brought this thing in and placed it there without anyone noticing, and by what means?
