Chapter 55 - Delaying signing the contract
Chapter 55: Delaying signing the contract
At the mention of the money transfer, Chi yaoxi recalled the first time she met Li Jingjing. At that time, she didn’t even know his name. She had only gone to the clubhouse to find the most handsome man because she was in a bad mood and got drunk.
Chi luexi looked at her phone and WeChat before she remembered that she had transferred 100000 Yuan to him on the second day of living with him. However, the man did not accept the money and returned the 100000 Yuan the next day.
This was a little outrageous. Since he was a young master in that line of work, how could he only provide services for free?
Chi leixi immediately transferred a million Yuan to Li Jingjing through her phone.
Within a few minutes, Chi luexi’s phone vibrated, indicating that the other party had accepted the money.
Finally, she could have a good night’s sleep. Chi Luoxi went to bed early and fell asleep before 11 am.
The next morning, Chi Kexi felt full of energy and energy when she woke up. She changed into a sports outfit and went for a run in the park.
As she slowly returned to her usual lifestyle, Chi Kexi felt that her life was gradually returning to normal and her condition was much better.
She had made an appointment to go to the police station in the morning to meet officer Li Ying, who was in charge of investigating the celebrity’s death case. Chi Yuexi had seen the video and wanted to take the initiative to talk to him about some new discoveries.
The atmosphere in the police station was tense. Chi Yuexi went straight to officer Li’s office.
“Officer Li, I’ve seen all the videos on the cruise ship that day and found a new clue. The deceased was wearing an expensive diamond necklace before he fell into the water, but it was gone when he was fished up.”
Officer li carefully recorded Chi Luoxi’s every word and then analyzed,”
“Although the higher-ups have instructed that the case is suspected to be an accidental fall into the water and is about to be closed, I still think that any suspicious points should be raised in time. I also think that this case is not that simple.”
Chi leixi froze in shock when she heard officer Li’s words. What happened? They had originally accused him of being a murderer, but now there was no conclusive evidence, and he was going to be judged as an accidental death by falling into the water?
Chi Yuexi couldn’t believe that the police could close the case so rashly. The deck of the cruise ship had such high railings and the wind wasn’t strong. What reason did he have to fall into the water?
“Since there’s still something suspicious, we should investigate the scene on the cruise again to see if there’s anything else suspicious. I can go with you. After all, I was the last person to meet the deceased.”
Officer li knew that Chi Yuexi’s suggestion made sense and agreed.”
“We do need to investigate again, but we can’t make a decision yet. We’ll take action again. We’ll go to the cruise ship to investigate and collect evidence. We’ll need approval from the higher-ups, and I’ll apply for it immediately.”
Chi yaoxi knew that the investigation process for serious crimes was very strict. Before she left, she once again suggested to officer li that she could go with him to investigate and see if she could help.
After Chi yaoxi left the police station, officer li seriously wrote an application for a re-investigation and submitted it according to the procedure.
However, the application was rejected by the higher-ups the next day. They said that the case was basically settled and would soon be closed as the deceased accidentally fell into the water and did not need to be investigated.
This time, it was officer Li Ying’s turn to be surprised. He had been transferred from the neighboring city’s police station not long ago to take on this big case.
The more he knew about the case, the more suspicious he felt. It was related to a human life. If he closed the case hastily, officer li would feel guilty.
Officer li frowned and thought for a long time. He knew that since the higher-ups had already given instructions, they would not change it easily. He might as well think of a more laborious way to investigate in private.
Chi leixi had just returned from a run early in the morning when she received officer Li’s call. Knowing that there was some progress, she quickly asked,””Good Morning, officer li, Are you sure? That time has passed?”
On the other end of the phone, officer li paused for a moment before saying,””It’s not as simple as you think. The higher-ups won’t allow us to apply for another investigation.”
“What? You don’t agree?”
Chi luexi’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“Isn’t the police station in charge of solving cases? There are new developments in the case and even new evidence. How can you say no to the investigation?”
Officer Li’s eyes darkened and he frowned. He knew that he would not be able to explain it clearly to Chi Luoxi, so he simply said to her,”
“The higher-ups have their orders, and our people in charge can’t do anything about it. But as the person in charge of this case, I don’t want to get away with it. I just want to find out the truth, so I’ve decided to investigate it in private.”
“Then count me in!”
Chi leixi said after hearing officer Li’s decision.
This matter was related to his reputation. He was so free now all thanks to this case.
Although the police hadn’t determined that Chi leixi was related to this case, the rumors on the internet that she was a murder suspect and even the bold media directly claimed that she was the murderer were true.
Ever since the case happened, Chi Luoxi had been tracked down by the media. She had been nervous all day and had not had a good day.
Officer li was still hesitating and didn’t say anything. Chi Yuexi spoke again,”
“Officer li, please let me go with you. It’s always good to have one more person. Let’s see if I can help.”
Officer Li Ying knew that it was more difficult to investigate and collect evidence in private. On second thought, Chi Luoxi had been to the scene and was familiar with the location. She had also seen the videotape, so she might find some clues there.
“Alright, send me your location. I’ll pick you up and we’ll leave in half an hour.”
After ending the call, Chi Luoxi hurriedly put on a disguise. In order to prevent anyone from recognizing her and causing trouble, Chi Luoxi simply pulled her hair up and tied it up tightly. She then put on a short wig.
While Chi yaoxi was waiting for officer li at the entrance, Xiao Ye was driving out of the villa. He glanced over out of habit and saw a short-haired girl with a slim figure. Although her hairstyle was different, why did her figure look so familiar?
Xiao Ye immediately drove in to take a look. It was indeed Chi yaoxi. She seemed to have put in a careful disguise. Where was she going?
“What a beauty! Don’t think that I can’t recognize you just because you changed your hairstyle. Where were they going? If I’m free, I can give you a ride. ”
Xiao Ye stopped the car beside Chi yaoxi and rolled down the window. He greeted Chi yaoxi with smiling eyes.
Chi yaoxi looked around but did not see officer Li’s car. She walked up to Xiao Ye and explained,”
“I have something very important to do. Officer li will come to pick me up later. You can go ahead with your work.”
Xiao Ye asked Chi yaoxi to explain the situation clearly. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be at ease.
Chi leixi could only explain in full detail why she had set off in private to secretly investigate the case.
After Xiao Ye heard this, he hesitated for a moment before sending a WeChat message to assistant Xiao Liu. He said that he wanted to delay the signing of the contract and arrange another time.
