Chapter 57: A difficult private investigation
Chi leixi felt that these clues were definitely related to the case on the cruise ship.
The content included an intimate photo of President Bai Feng and the deceased ye Ruifang, as well as their conversation.
These contents directly and forcefully explained that the deceased ye Ruifang had a close relationship with President Bai before she died.
They had done a good job of keeping it a secret. Chi Yuexi had never seen any entertainment news about ye Ruifang’s relationship with the Bai family.
Feeling that there was some progress, Chi Luoxi called sister Ming to continue investigating.
“The entertainment industry is really complicated. It’s even more complicated than I thought. Sister Ming, you know a lot of people and have a lot of connections. Try to see if you can find any other clues.”
“I’ve almost become a police officer investigating a case recently. Alright, I’ll get someone to investigate again. I hope these things will be useful in clearing your suspicion.”
Chi yaoxi was very grateful for sister Ming’s efforts. These were all things outside of work. Sister Ming had worked hard to run around just to regain her innocence and return to the entertainment industry.
After carefully reading the contents of the email, Chi yaoxi fell into deep thought. Since the media had taken photos of ye Ruifang going to the Bai family and the information was detailed, but it was not publicly announced, she must have been paid to keep her mouth shut.
Could it be related to the Bai family? Could it be a love kill?
The Bai family was a famous family with a large population and a large international business. They were willing to spend a huge amount of money to control the media and were not allowed to publish rumors about the Bai family and big stars.
However, there was no such thing as an impervious wall in the world. Since he was in contact with the female star ye Ruifang, there would always be traces left behind.
Since the higher-ups didn’t agree to the investigation of the case, officer li had to go to the Bai family’s house after work to check the surveillance cameras there.
Without an investigation order from the police station, many things were restricted, causing the progress of the investigation to slow down, and he was in a difficult situation for a time.
Two days had passed. Chi Luoxi took the initiative to call officer Li Ying again.”Officer li, how’s the investigation on the Bai family? Are there any new clues?”
Officer li scratched his head and explained the situation with a frown,””Miss Chi, I understand that you want to solve the case as soon as possible, but it’s not as simple as you think.”
Chi yaoxi was stunned when she heard officer Li’s words. She thought that she had found some clues and followed the clues. However, the truth came to light very quickly and the real murderer was found very quickly. It seemed that officer li had a hard time.
“I see. Is there anything we can help you with? didn’t we already find the most important clue? The Bai family is not cooperating with the investigation?”
Officer li almost laughed out loud when he heard Chi yaoxi’s words. He must have watched too many popular crime-solving movies. In reality, investigating and solving cases were not as easy as he had imagined.
“You know that this is a private investigation, and it’s very difficult. Without an investigation order from the police, I don’t have the right and authority to go to the Bai family to investigate the case.”
Chi leixi finally understood. So this was the problem.
That could only be done in secret and could not even be discovered by the Bai family.
Chi leixi understood officer Li’s difficulties.
She didn’t know why the higher-ups at the police station were so anxious to conclude that it was an accidental fall into the water. Now, it seemed that it was very likely to be a deliberate murder.
Officer li was really a good police officer. He was cautious and serious in his work, dared to face the problem directly, and was not affected by other unfavorable factors. He also took a lot of time after work to investigate privately at the risk of his own life. Chi yaoxi admired him from the bottom of her heart.
“Officer li, thank you for your hard work. What do you need us to do now? Anyway, I can go with you when I’m free. It’s good to have an extra helper. ”
Li Ying hesitated for a moment before agreeing. This miss Chi was very meticulous, and she was in the same industry as the deceased. Perhaps she would be beneficial to the investigation.
“I’ll go to the surveillance area near the Bai residence after work. You can come with me when you’re free.”
Chi yaoxi disguised herself again and followed officer li to a high-end villa area near the Bai family’s residence.
The security guards were on duty at the gate. When they saw the two of them walking past, they immediately recognized that they were not from the community. They asked in detail who they were looking for and where they were going. They needed to register with the police.
Officer li explained his purpose of visit and even showed his police officer’s work pass, saying that he needed their cooperation to check the video surveillance at the gate of the community a month ago.
The security guard on duty, who was originally polite, sized up officer li and Chi Luoxi, who was beside him, and was a little suspicious of their identities.
It turned out that the police in the neighborhood had also come to investigate the surveillance video, but that was when a few police officers worked together.
Moreover, they were all wearing the same police uniform and driving their police cars over. They even showed their investigation orders and directly asked them to cooperate with the police investigation.
There were two people, a man and a woman, in plain clothes. They didn’t look like police officers.
The head of security received the call and walked over from the management office. He was suspicious of the image of the two people from a distance.
As a security guard of a high-end community, his responsibility was to ensure the safety and privacy of the people in the community. Were these people here to cause trouble?
The security team leader arrived at the entrance and looked at officer li and Chi Kexi with a scrutinizing gaze. He said in a serious tone,””Please show me your investigation order.”
Officer li then explained the situation to the team leader, but the security team leader didn’t finish listening and directly turned them away.
“I’m sorry, it’s our responsibility to protect the safety and privacy of the residents. We can’t check the surveillance videos. ”
Officer li was a little disappointed. He knew that he would face many difficulties if he investigated this case in private, but he didn’t expect to be stuck at the beginning. He was really disappointed.
Chi leixi was helpless too. Officer li had taken out his work pass just now, but it was still useless. It seemed that this matter was not easy to handle.
She suddenly recalled that Xiao Ye was the one who had helped her obtain the surveillance footage from the cruise ship. He had even copied it into a USB drive. He must have hired someone to do it.
In this wealthy villa area, would he have acquaintances and connections?
Xiao Ye had just gotten off work and was about to return home when he received Chi yaoxi’s call. After hearing her explanation of the situation, Xiao Ye paused for a moment before saying,
“Beauty Chi, even if there’s no solution to the matter you’ve instructed us to do, we have to rack our brains and think of a way to solve it.”
Upon hearing Xiao Ye’s reply, Chi leixi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
“Boss, I don’t have time to joke with you now. Officer li and I are waiting here. Do you have any ideas or not?”
“I’ll be right there. ” Xiao Ye hung up after he finished speaking.
Chi leixi thought in a daze, could it be that Xiao Ye knew the security guards here? You can open a back door for surveillance?
In less than half an hour, Xiao Ye’s car arrived at the entrance of the villa district. Other than Xiao Ye, a tall and strong man got out of the front passenger seat.
