After thinking for a while, Lin Chuang raised his wrist and looked at his watch. It read three minutes and five minutes.
He asked Wan Lilang: "Director Wan, do you have paper and pen?"
"Yes." Wan Lilang said, taking out a pen and paper from his briefcase and handing it to Lin Chuang.
Lin Chuang took out a cigarette, lit one, picked up the pen, tilted his head, squinted his eyes, and wrote a few lines on the paper.
Wan Lilang took a closer look and saw it said: "Lock, how to open it?
What was the murder weapon?
What is poison gas?
Ladder, how to enter and how to escape?
Is there any oversight?"
After writing this, Lin Chuang leaned back, frowned, and stared at these lines of words.
Li Shiqun and Wan Lilang glanced at each other, but neither spoke, for fear of disturbing Lin Chuang's thinking.
The room was very quiet, except for Mao Yiming in the distance who was still tinkering with the lock, making "humming" sounds from his mouth from time to time.
Lin Chuang obviously heard it, frowned, and glanced at Mao Yiming displeased.
Mao Yiming didn't realize it. He was holding a piece of iron wire in his hand and kept exerting force on the lock. He kept humming and humming. He was already immersed in the fun of unlocking.
Lin Chuang got annoyed and slapped the paper on the coffee table with a "pop" sound.
Mao Yiming, who was immersed in unlocking, was startled by the sudden sound. His hands trembled and he almost dropped the lock and wire to the ground.
He raised his head and looked at Lin Chuang confusedly.
"If you don't work diligently, you don't work lazy, and if you only work hard, you won't have a good eye. Captain Mao, can you be more careful? I really don't know how you became a secretary!" Lin Chuang said coldly.
"What...what's wrong? I'm in a humble position...doing nothing...what?" Mao Yiming asked stammering, not knowing why and why he offended Lin Ming.
"What are you mumbling for?"
"I'm humble... are you embarrassed?"
"What do you think?" Mao Yiming asked stupidly.
This morning, he was scolded so badly by Lin Chuang that he was already frightened and his voice was trembling when he spoke.
Lin Chuang ignored him, picked up the pen and paper, stood up, glanced at Li Shiqun, and said, "Humph, no one is allowed to disturb me!"
After that, he turned around and entered a bedroom on the west side, slamming the door behind him.
"Bang!"
There was a loud noise and Mao Yiming was so frightened that he closed his eyes.
Liu Ermeng stepped to the door of the bedroom in two steps, crossed his legs and hugged his arms, looking at everyone coldly like a door god.
Looking at it like that, if anyone dares to go in and disturb the gentleman, he will definitely become anxious.
"What's wrong? How did I mess with him?"
Mao Yiming walked over quietly, looked at Wanli Lang, and asked in a low voice.
Wan Lilang waved him over and said in a voice that only he could hear: "He was thinking about something just now, and you disturbed him."
"That's it?" Mao Yiming said aggrievedly, "Isn't this looking for someone?"
"Urgent." Wan Lilang winked at him and whispered, "Don't mess with him."
Mao Yiming nodded, glanced at Li Shiqun with resentment, and thought to himself, is Chief Li too coward? Lin Ming came to me for no reason, and he didn't care.
Li Shiqun didn't pay attention to Mao Yiming's eyes. He was wondering about Lin Chuang's intention. Was it an excuse to get angry and hide in the room to do something shameful?
He glanced at Wanli Lang and pursed his lips in the direction of the bedroom.
Wanlilang understood immediately, stood up, pretended to go to the toilet, and walked around outside.
He saw through the window that Lin Chuang was lying on the table in the bedroom writing something.
Back in the hall, he nodded to Li Shiqun, indicating that there was no problem.
Li Shiqun felt relieved and motioned to Mao Yiming to pour tea.
Mao Yiming gently lifted the thermos bottle and made Li Shiqun and Wan Lilang a cup of tea respectively.
Because Lin Chuang had spoken first, no one spoke. Even Li Shiqun sipped his tea carefully, not daring to take a big sip for fear of making any noise.
More than two hours passed. Li Shiqun drank one glass after another and went to the toilet five times, but Lin Chuang did not come out.
Gradually, Li Shiqun became impatient.
"Hey..." Li Shiqun let out a long breath, and was about to ask Wan Lilang to knock on the door, but saw Lin Chuang finally come out.
Lin Chuang was holding several pieces of paper filled with words in his hand, his hair was messy and his expression was gloomy.
Li Shiqun looked at him and said to himself: "What are you doing? Hiding in the room to write a novel? Write so many pieces?"
"Deputy Director Li," Lin Chuang sat on the sofa and asked Li Shiqun: "Are you going to stop letting me go unless the case is solved?"
"Director Lin," Li Shiqun stared at him and said firmly: "If the case cannot be solved, Li will take action against Zhang Shouzheng. You should understand that what can't be obtained under San Mu?"
"You want to frame me?" Lin Chuang asked with narrowed eyes.
"There is no way, you have not been able to clear away your suspicion. Director Lin, Li knows that you have a good relationship with the Japanese, and also knows that Vice President Zhu will protect you, but if you are suspected of being an underground party, I think they
You will definitely attack more ruthlessly than others! You know, the property in your name is like a big piece of fat, and everyone is jealous." Li Shiqun said.
Lin Chuang's face was ashen and he stared at Li Shiqun.
Li Shiqun also stared at Lin Chuang without showing any signs of weakness.
After a while, Lin Chuang was defeated and said helplessly: "This case is so strange that it is difficult to find a breakthrough. I think we may have entered a strange circle, focusing only on what happened after this case and forgetting about it.
We have discovered the root cause of this case. Should we break out of this circle and re-examine this case?"
"Sir Lin, please tell me in detail how to re-examine this case?" Wan Lilang added.
"Tian Chuncai was killed because he betrayed the underground party. So, I think the breakthrough direction should be based on who leaked the news of his betrayal, and then follow the clues to find the murderer?" Lin Chuang said.
"This..." Wan Lilang pondered and glanced at Li Shiqun.
"Well, this is a feasible method." Li Shiqun thought for a while and agreed.
"I don't know enough about the process of Tian Chuncai's surrender, so I can't find any clues about it. Can you tell me the details? Or let me take a look at the relevant files to see if I can find any clues." Lin Chuang asked.
Li Shiqun.
"That won't work." Li Shiqun waved his hand and rejected Lin Chuang's proposal without a doubt: "Director Lin, your own suspicion has not been cleared yet."
Lin Chuang was so angry that he threw the pen and paper on the coffee table and said, "Did you deliberately set up obstacles?"
"No, I'm not that despicable." Li Shiqun said.
"Well, I suspect Hu Fengzhi. Please call him here secretly. I want to question him."
"I'm sorry. Hu Fengzhi has already accompanied Wu Zhizhong and his daughter back to his hometown. He may have left Shanghai by now."
"What?" Lin Chuang was shocked. He stood up, pointed at Li Shiqun and said, "You are trying to draw fire from the bottom of the cauldron!"
"There is no way, Director Lin, I won't let you ruin my chess game. Let's think of another way." Li Shiqun said.
Lin Chuang was so angry that he was trembling, pointing at Li Shiqun and speechless...
