Detective: Open your eyes, I am handcuffed in the interrogation room

The waiter came back very quickly, it took less than five minutes.

"Officer, please follow me. Mr. Gui is waiting in the room."

Chen Yi nodded and followed the waiter through the crowded crowd. The music in his ears was getting louder and louder. The atmosphere team could clearly be seen on the stage in front of him posing.

Needless to say, this place can indeed relieve stress. Many stressed white-collar workers come here to indulge and indulge themselves in their free time and get rid of all negative emotions.

Then, continue to absorb the negative emotions from work and leadership colleagues when you are at work, and vent them again on the weekends.

Over and over again, this is the life of a white-collar worker who is neither above nor below. He is better than the lower-level employees, but cannot achieve a class leap.

When they arrived on the second floor, the waiter knocked on the door. After getting permission, he opened the door and motioned for Chen Yi and others to enter.

The light in the room is relatively dark.

I don’t know why, but the lights in many entertainment venues’ offices are very dark. Maybe it’s to create mystery, maybe to hide, or maybe just to show off.

Gui Dacheng is less than fifty. He is very thin, half of his short hair is white, and he has a strong sense of vicissitudes of life.

He was smoking when he saw the police come in. He didn't get up to greet him, but he politely motioned for the police to sit down.

There were only two sofas in the room, and Gui Dacheng occupied one alone, with five or six of his subordinates standing behind him.

After Chen Yi sat down, Qin Fei, Zhuge Cong and the others also consciously stood behind Chen Yi.

Under the dim light, the two sides faced off. Those who didn't know it thought it was a meeting and negotiation between two gangsters, and a fight could break out at any time.

"Captain Chen Yichen?" Gui Dacheng spoke first and motioned to his subordinates to pass the cigarettes.

"Huh?" Chen Yi waved his hand but did not answer, "Mr. Gui knows me? It seems that there is no need to introduce myself."

It’s not unusual to know yourself. The Yangcheng Cross-River Bridge incident has become famous, and some people in Suicheng may be concerned about the investigation team coming. No one knows what the investigation team is here to do. What if there is a serious crackdown?

Gui Dacheng said with a smile: "Captain Chen's name is astonishing. He came to see me a few days after coming to Suicheng. I am really honored to see you. Do you like it?"

Chen Yi lowered his head slightly. When he came in, he noticed a box on the coffee table.

When Gui Dacheng's voice fell, his men stepped forward and reached out to open the leather box. A dazzling array of gold jewelry and jade bracelets appeared under Chen Yi's sight.

"It's not a sign of respect. It's a meeting gift. Captain Chen can pick whatever he likes and make friends." Gui Dacheng chuckled.

Gui Dacheng was very courageous in openly offering bribes in disguised form. After all, the two parties had no friendship at all.

However, the other party said that it was just a meeting gift, and there was no exchange of power or money between them, so it was not considered a bribe in the true sense.

Chen Yi took a look, took out his cigarette and lit it: "Mr. Gui, you're welcome. I just want to chat with you and will leave immediately."

Gui Dacheng: "No delay, Captain Chen, feel free to choose. I understand, isn't the research team here just for fun?"

This remark made Zhuge Cong and others frown. They knew Chen Yi, knew about the research team, and Tianchi Company was quite well informed, but this remark... didn't sound very nice. A few cases did not represent the whole story.

Indeed, many surveys are just a formality, but this time the provincial research team really wants to do practical things and achieve visible results.

Chen Yi smiled: "I've just been here a few days and haven't had time to play yet. While I was playing... I checked the case. My hands itch when I see the case. I have to know the truth. It's an occupational disease."

Gui Dacheng was surprised: "Case? What case has something to do with me?"

Chen Yi: "Why should Mr. Gui pretend to be stupid?"

Li Gong's death case has not been closed yet, and he doesn't believe Gui Dacheng can't think of it.

Gui Dacheng knocked his head and said suddenly: "I remember, Captain Chen is referring to the case of Li Gong's murder, right?"

Chen Yi nodded.

Gui Dacheng: "Captain Chen, this case...I told the police everything I knew back then. If you ask again, the result will be the same. His death really has nothing to do with me, nor does it have anything to do with Tianchi Company. I It must be a vendetta. Li Gong offended many people when he was young. "

Chen Yi knew this.

Li Gong's personal information has been fully checked. Twenty years ago, he was a gangster on the streets of Suicheng. He did not do his job and was too lazy to work. He hung out in Internet cafes and bars all day long. It was common for fights and fights to be dealt with by the police.

Later, I met Fan Tianchi by chance and reached a turning point in my life.

Because he was ruthless and dared to fight, Li Gong was quickly valued by Fan Tianchi and promoted quickly. Within a few years, he became the leader. Until the gold shop was stolen, he began to rise through the ranks and became Fan Tianchi's right-hand man.

He was killed just when his career was rapidly rising, and his biggest competitor was Gui Dacheng.

At that time, the Suicheng police investigated the motive of commercial competition and investigated the murder, but to no avail.

Chen Yi will not repeat the clues that have been checked for the time being. He will just go through them once. Just like Gao Xiaofei's case, he will focus on looking for any overlooked areas.

His intuition told him that Li Gong's death might not be that simple, and there might be unknown facts in it.

"I want to believe that Mr. Gui is innocent, and I also hope that Mr. Gui can talk to me about things I don't know. When I first came to Suicheng, Mr. Gui will not help me, right? Many things are mutual."

People like Gui Dacheng know how to talk to Chen Yi. It won't work if they are pushed too hard, and they won't work if they are too polite.

When the Suicheng police investigated Li Gong's case, Chen Yi did not believe that Gui Dacheng had told everything he knew. Regardless of whether Li Gong's death had anything to do with him or not, there would always be some concealment.

Chen Yi's words made Gui Dacheng's smile shrink slightly. After so many years, no matter whether he is smart or not, he must be very skilled in observing words and colors and knowing the subtleties.

What the other party means is: If you don’t give me face, I won’t give you face.

The research team came to Suicheng with an order from the provincial department. To put it bluntly, if you want to use chicken feathers as an arrow to make trouble, don't be too easy. You can always find a reason. What's more, Chen Yi is very difficult to deal with and should not be provoked. .

It's really a stalemate, and it's you who suffers.

As the saying goes, the people should not fight with the officials, the poor should not fight with the rich, and it is best to be low-key and honest.

The thought flashed through his mind, and Gui Dacheng smiled brightly and called his men to get the wine.

"Captain Chen, it's easy to talk. Since we are here, we are friends. Let's have a drink together. I will tell you everything. But...it has been so many years. If I forget something, I believe Captain Chen can understand."

If you want to say it, you have remembered it. If you don’t want to say it, you have forgotten it. It’s not that you know but don’t tell you.

Both of them are old men, and they understand each other tacitly.

Behind him, Zhuge Cong and the others looked like they were learning with humility. If it were them, they really wouldn't know how to deal with people like Gui Dacheng.

Red wine was brought and two glasses were poured. This time Chen Yi did not refuse and the two clinked.

After taking a symbolic sip, Chen Yi was a little surprised. He looked at the red liquid in the cup and said, "The top dry red from Lehua Winery is characterized by the mixed aroma of plums and red cherries. It's not cheap."

This Gui Dacheng really knows how to enjoy himself and seems to be making money.

Gui Dacheng was not surprised and said with a smile: "As expected of the young master of the Chen Group, he is well-informed and has a good tongue. I just drink for fun and can't taste it. It all tastes the same."

Chen Yi: "Mr. Gui's investigation is quite clear. Was it you or Li Tianling?"

If you know who you are and still give something away, it doesn't mean much. It's probably just to express your attitude.

Gui Dacheng: "I misunderstood. This is not a secret. There is no need to check. Captain Chen's name is very loud."

Chen Yi was too lazy to talk business with him, so he started talking about Li Gong from the beginning.

If it is in the file, listen to it again. If it is not in the file, that is the purpose of this trip.

"We have known each other for twenty years, and Captain Chen has found the right person." Gui Dacheng said, "At that time, the legend about us has been circulating in the Speedy Internet Cafe in Suicheng."

Chen Yi held the red wine and occasionally took a sip: "What kind of legend is it?"

Gui Dacheng: "Game, oh... Captain Chen is too young. You were still in junior high school when Legend was popular, right?"

Chen Yi smiled: "Legend, I have played it before. In those days, a Judgment could be sold for tens of thousands."

Gui Dacheng's eyes lit up: "That's right, twenty years ago, we had the few rulings in the region. We miss it. We played games to pick up girls, sang our hearts out on Audition, and there were so many girls waiting in line. The team let us choose, and the good times are gone forever.”

Chen Yi looked at him: "Can you talk about what I want to hear?"

Gui Dacheng smiled and said slowly: "Li Gong has taken drugs."

The five words made Chen Yi's eyes narrow. This matter was not in the file. It seemed that he had never been caught by the police, and Gui Dacheng did not mention it when he was questioned by the police.

So why say it now?

Because of your identity?

The leader of the research team, the deputy captain of the Provincial Criminal Investigation Corps, and the heir to the Chen Group, really want to make friends without saying anything?

It's possible, but Chen Yi kept an eye on himself and didn't feel good about himself. People like Gui Dacheng who have experienced great storms should not do something for no reason.

Chen Yi: "When?"

Gui Dacheng: "Twenty years ago."

Chen Yi: "Then what?"

He knew there would be a follow-up.

Gui Dacheng: "He took his girlfriend and took drugs. Later, his girlfriend died in a car accident. The main reason was that she suffered from hallucinations during a drug addiction on the street. So strictly speaking, he caused his girlfriend's death."

There is no such thing in the file. The investigation of the accidental car accident twenty years ago may not be so clear.

Chen Yi: "What's his girlfriend's name?"

Gui Dacheng: “I don’t know her full name, but we all call her Lili, the girl who does pedicures at the bath center.”

Chen Yi: "Is it related to Li Gong's death?"

Gui Dacheng quickly waved his hand: "Then I don't know. I regard Captain Chen as a friend. I don't know if it will be useful."

Chen Yi thought for a while and said, "When the Suicheng police investigated the Li Gong case, why didn't they say anything?"

Gui Dacheng: "We are all open-minded people. There are some things we can say and some things we cannot say. What does Captain Chen think?"

Chen Yi snorted: "You've smoked it too."

Gui Dacheng said with a smile: "I quit early. Is it past the period of prosecution? I remember it was six months. It has been more than ten years."

Chen Yi leaned back on the sofa, his eyes intersecting with Gui Dacheng's.

This guy seems to be mentally prepared for his coming.

It is no secret that the research team will investigate the backlog of cases. The documents have been sent to the Suicheng City Bureau. Gui Dacheng is a local and has been around for so many years. It is probably not difficult to find out.

How could you not have any acquaintances in the entertainment industry? Otherwise, routine investigations would bore you to death.

Although Gui Dacheng was prepared and looked inscrutable, he ignored one thing, and that was Chen Yi's IQ.

Playing with fire is very likely to get you burned. After so many years of playing around, Gui Dacheng may not have taken the young Chen Yi seriously, which exposed a lot of things in just a few words.

Li Tianling is Li Gong's son and is now Gui Dacheng's boss. Li Gong and Gui Dacheng were once incompatible competitors. So why did he take the initiative to mention that Li Gong took drugs in his early years and his girlfriend died because of it?

Possibility one: Li Tianling ordered it.

Possibility two: Gui Dacheng’s personal behavior was intentional.

Possibility two is more likely.

"Do you want me to check on Li Tianling? Li Gong's death is not related to Li Tianling, right? No, Gui Dacheng can report it secretly, it doesn't have to be so troublesome."

Chen Yi was not sure what Gui Dacheng wanted to do for a while.

The subsequent experience was the same as what was written in the file. Li Gong met Fan Tianchi and reached a turning point in his life. He and Gui Dacheng joined Tianchi Company, and their relationship became increasingly estranged.

Then there was the gold theft.

"Did Li Gong control Tianchi Company when he died?" Chen Yi asked.

Gui Dacheng: "Not yet, soon."

Chen Yi: "What about you?"

Gui Dacheng: "Me? Ashamed, I am not his opponent."

Chen Yi: "Then why did Tianchi return to Li Tianling later?"

Mentioning this matter, Gui Dacheng's face trembled slightly, and after a moment of silence he said: "This boy... No, Li Dong, Li Dongqing is better than his master, and his methods and ruthlessness are even worse than Li Gong's. , no one can defeat him."

Chen Yi: "How did you fight? You can't take the company without some unusual means."

The company is not an ownerless object. It belongs to whoever has a strong fist. It needs legal channels, and under legal channels, illegal behaviors must be hidden. He does not believe that Fan Tianchi will willingly hand over the entire company to an outsider.

You can’t give it to outsiders even if you give it to your daughter or son-in-law.

Gui Dacheng smiled and said: "How can we? We are legal businessmen and we don't do that."

This sentence is definitely nonsense. It may be white now, but it must have been very dark before.

Chen Yi asked boldly: "Is it possible... that Li Tianling and Fan Tianchi's daughter are involved, or that Li Tianling and Fan Tianchi's son-in-law are cooperating, or that Li Tianling and Fan Tianchi are somewhat related by blood?"

Gui Dacheng was stunned for a moment and looked at Chen Yi suspiciously: "Captain Chen has a very rich imagination."

Chen Yi: "If you don't have a rich imagination, you won't be able to solve the backlog of cases."

For cases that cannot be solved by conventional criminal investigation methods, other methods must of course be used.

Gui Dacheng shook his head helplessly: "You are overthinking. Director Li did take over the entire Tianchi Company on his own."

Chen Yi believed it for the time being. If this was the case, then Li Tianling was really a cruel person and difficult to deal with. He hoped that the case to be investigated had nothing to do with him. No one wanted to deal with a difficult person, although he was not afraid.

As for whether Tianchi Company has any problems...

As long as there is no problem on the surface, there is no need for the investigation team to conduct in-depth investigations unless it is related to a case or reported.

Zheng Congliang has never talked to him about Tianchi Company in the past few days. He should be more honest and clean up thoroughly.

As long as it is white now, it doesn't matter whether it was black or gray before. It is impossible to cause trouble for no reason.

The relationship between Gui Dacheng and Li Tianling is basically clear. Judging from the conversation just now and Gui Dacheng's reaction, he is dissatisfied with Li Tianling, but he does not dare to disobey.

With such an attitude, as long as Gui Dacheng gets a chance, he will definitely step down on Li Tianling without hesitation.

On the surface, they appear to be submissive for the sake of survival or profit, but in fact they are completely rebellious.

In this case, Gui Dacheng just mentioned Li Gong's drug use on purpose, which should not have been the result of Li Tianling's instruction.

No matter what the motive is, this information will most likely be useful to the police, and it may... have an impact on Li Tianling.

After thinking about this, Chen Yi's mind became much clearer, and he looked at Gui Dacheng with amusement in his eyes.

Gui Dacheng never shifted his gaze. At this moment, Chen Yi felt hairy all over and felt like he was being seen through.

He hated this look, because it was the same look every time Li Tianling looked at him, and the Chen Yi in front of him was even more uncomfortable than Li Tianling.

"Depend on."

Gui Dacheng cursed in his heart, are all the young people nowadays becoming spirits? ?

"Captain Chen, what's the problem?" He calmed down and spoke quietly.

Chen Yi smiled and said, "No problem. I'm very happy to have met new friends. I'm just worried that some people will find out about some of the new friends' little thoughts."

Gui Dacheng is inferior to others, so he is naturally not Li Tianling's opponent. Is the other party playing tricks? It's easy to fall into trouble when one is himself and the other is Li Tianling.

Gui Dacheng's expression froze at the pointed words. After a moment of pause, he said: "I forgot to tell Captain Chen. Please don't tell Director Li what we just talked about. He doesn't like us to deal with the police, and he doesn't allow us to talk casually." friend."

Chen Yili was so happy that he almost laughed.

You are cowardly but cruel at the same time. You are using the most cowardly mentality to secretly engage in small tricks and test like crazy on the verge of death.

No wonder you can't beat Li Tianling. What should I do if I have to tell Li Tianling? The handle is delivered to the door, and the brain is missing.

It’s true that people with status are not necessarily smart.

He felt that such a stupid person could not be the murderer of Li Gong, otherwise Li Tianling would have found out long ago, unless he didn't want to find out.

"Okay, okay, definitely, definitely." Chen Yi suppressed his laughter, "Let's talk about something else. Apart from what happened twenty years ago, did Li Gong offend anyone before he was killed?"

Gui Dacheng felt that Chen Yi's expression meant ridicule, but there was no evidence, so he said angrily: "No, I told you eight years ago, why are you still asking?"

Chen Yi: "But you didn't say that Li Gong took drugs eight years ago."

Gui Dacheng: "I'm telling the truth. He only has a few enemies, and they have all been investigated."

Chen Yi: "Have you ever offended some little people, who were very inconspicuous, and were retaliated against?"

Gui Dacheng shook his head: "No, we don't demolish or lend money. They are all small businesses. How can we offend no one?"

Tianchi Company is indeed a small business, but it cannot support a large number of businesses, such as entertainment venues, Internet cafes, gold stores, etc., and even covers half of them on a certain street.

If you think about it, offending a small person is unlikely.

Then the next step of the investigation will be clear, whether someone is avenging Lili and blaming Li Gong.
