Chapter 97

A few minutes later, Su Qing looked at Xiao Chen, shook her head, and said, "Nothing was lost!"

"Nothing was lost?"

Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes. If Liu Da Kui had come to the CEO's office with revenge in mind, he wouldn't have left without taking anything, right? Could it be that the hidden camera really had something to do with him? This wasn't a coincidence, was it?

The fish he wanted to catch, was it really Liu Da Kui?

"Xiao Chen, should we call the police?"

Su Qing thought of some possibilities, and her face turned pale. Could it be that she had been under surveillance for a long time?

"No need, I'll go find Liu Da Kui!"

Xiao Chen shook his head. Calling the police wouldn't help. The most important thing now was to determine why Liu Da Kui came here and whether it had anything to do with the hidden camera!

If it did, he would have to follow the trail and see if there was someone else behind him!

Trouble always needed to be nipped in the bud!

"Okay."

Su Qing nodded. She didn't think calling the police was the best option either. After all, some things couldn't be known by outsiders, and they certainly couldn't be exposed!

Otherwise, once more people got involved, it would be a huge mess that she couldn't handle!

"Bro Chen, I've brought the files!"

Ding Li ran in from outside and handed a file bag to Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen opened it, skimmed through it, and finally focused on Liu Da Kui's address: "When is this file from? Is Liu Da Kui still living here?"

"The HR department said this is a file from half a year ago, and it's unclear if he's still there."

"Alright, I got it." Xiao Chen nodded and then looked at Su Qing: "I'll go find Liu Da Kui and investigate!"

"Are you going alone?"

"Yes, I'll go alone."

"Bro Chen, can I go with you?" Ding Li said.

"No need, stay at the company. Also, keep the backup of the surveillance, don't lose it!"

"Okay!"

Xiao Chen picked up his phone and called Li Hanhou.

"Bro Chen."

"Da Han, is everything okay at your place?"

"Yes."

"Come to the company right away and protect President Su's safety."

"Okay!"

After giving a few more instructions, Xiao Chen didn't wait for Li Hanhou to arrive and left the company by car.

"Xiao Chen, don't be impulsive!"

As she left, Su Qing said to Xiao Chen. Through their interactions over the past few days, she had come to understand him and was a bit worried.

"Hehe, don't worry, I'm not impulsive!"

Xiao Chen smiled. After leaving the company, he thought for a moment and then called Bald Snake.

"Minister Xiao?"

Bald Snake's respectful voice sounded.

"Bro Snake, do you know where Liu Da Kui lives?"

Xiao Chen asked directly. From the previous incident, he could tell that Bald Snake and Liu Da Kui weren't close friends, but rather had a relationship based on mutual interests!

So, he wasn't worried that Bald Snake would call Liu Da Kui after hanging up!

Bald Snake was taken aback for a moment but quickly gave the address.

"Okay."

Xiao Chen nodded. This address matched the one in the file, so it seemed Liu Da Kui hadn't moved.

"Bro Chen, why are you looking for Liu Da Kui?"

Before hanging up, Bald Snake asked cautiously.

"Just some company business. If he knows I'm coming, I'll come to you! Got it, Bro Snake!" Xiao Chen said calmly.

"I got it!" Bald Snake shivered and quickly replied.

"Okay, that's it! By the way, the Yin family came to see me last night, but I sent them away... Be careful, and keep an eye on Little Meng. I'm worried something might happen to her." Xiao Chen added.

"Sure, I'll protect Miss Su!"

"Thanks."

After hanging up, Xiao Chen sped up and headed to Liu Da Kui's residence.

Twenty minutes later, the Maserati arrived at an apartment complex.

Xiao Chen parked the car at the entrance of a unit and looked up. Liu Da Kui lived on the 13th floor.

He took the elevator up and rang the doorbell at the door.

After a few minutes, no one answered. He pressed his ear to the door and heard no movement inside.

"Not at home?"

Xiao Chen frowned, knocked a few more times, and then called Liu Da Kui's phone.

The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered. However, Xiao Chen noticed that there was a faint ringtone coming from inside!

Liu Da Kui was home!

Xiao Chen hung up, looked around, and found a small piece of wire. He inserted it into the lock.

Click!

The door opened. Xiao Chen quietly opened it and slipped inside.

He looked around. It was a two-bedroom apartment with decent装修. On the living room table, there was a phone.

He recognized it as Liu Da Kui's phone.

It seemed Liu Da Kui was home!

Xiao Chen looked at the bathroom, which was empty, and then walked towards the bedroom.

However, he soon stopped and frowned.

Because there was a faint smell of blood in the air!

Something happened?

Xiao Chen was startled and quickly rushed to the bedroom, pushing the door open!

The scene before him made his eyes widen.

Liu Da Kui was lying on the bed, blood already staining the sheets and dripping onto the floor!

Dead!

Xiao Chen stood at the door, stunned for a few seconds, then hesitated and slowly walked in.

Although he had a feeling something was wrong and suspected a conspiracy, he still wanted to see if he could find any clues!

At the bedside, Liu Da Kui's eyes were wide open, his face full of pain and unwillingness, even shock and disbelief...

Seeing this expression, Xiao Chen's first thought was that it was an inside job!

There was a bloody hole in Liu Da Kui's chest, likely caused by a dagger or similar sharp weapon, a fatal and ruthless strike!

Who killed Liu Da Kui?

What was the motive?

Xiao Chen looked at the body, narrowed his eyes, and wondered if it was a cover-up?

He bent down and gently touched Liu Da Kui's body, which was still slightly warm. The time of death was probably 10 to 20 minutes ago!

The fresh blood on the floor also confirmed this!

Xiao Chen walked around the bedroom. Before coming, he had considered many possibilities, but not this one!

This was clearly the first scene of a murder!

If the police suddenly appeared now, he would be in deep trouble!

Just as Xiao Chen was thinking this, he decided to leave after confirming there were no other clues, but a siren sounded!

Xiao Chen was taken aback and then smiled bitterly. Damn, he really couldn't clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River!

At the same time, he realized that someone had set a trap for him!

He had hesitated at the door earlier, thinking it was unlikely, but he still came in!

Now it seemed this was indeed a trap, and a deadly one!

"Liu Da Kui, you're still screwing me over even in death! We really have a grudge!"

Xiao Chen cursed, looked out the window, and saw several police cars already parked below, with many police rushing into the building.

Although he had a chance to leave, he didn't. Since someone had set a trap for him, he would jump in and see what else they had up their sleeve!

Most importantly, he didn't think this trap could bury him!

Xiao Chen took one last look at Liu Da Kui's body, turned, and left the bedroom. He went to the living room, picked up the phone on the coffee table, and started browsing.

Apart from his recent missed call, the last call was at 12:30 yesterday!

This was also the time Liu Da Kui left the company!

By now, it was clear that Liu Da Kui's entry into the company was not just for revenge but had another reason, likely related to the hidden camera!

Moreover, there was someone behind him!

This number might belong to the person behind him!

Xiao Chen thought for a moment and called back, but the number was already off.

Before making the call, he didn't expect it to be answered. The number might have been a temporary one, used and then discarded!

However, a text message caught his attention!

Two days ago, Liu Da Kui's bank account received a deposit of 2 million!

Given Liu Da Kui's income, having 2 million was unlikely!

Just as Xiao Chen was looking for more clues, the sound of footsteps outside grew louder, and the living room door was pushed open!

Seven or eight police officers rushed in. When they saw Xiao Chen sitting on the sofa, they were all stunned. What was going on?

Didn't they receive a report of a murder?

"Hehe, the body is in the bedroom. You can go check it out."

Xiao Chen put down the phone and smiled at the confused police officers.

Several police officers rushed into the bedroom, and soon shouts were heard.

"Who are you?!"

A police officer drew his gun, as the situation was too strange. A murder scene with a living person waiting for them? Was he the killer? Or something else?

"I? Hehe, I'm just a passerby."

Xiao Chen laughed, but he soon couldn't. He noticed more police officers entering, and the lead one was Han Yifei!

"Xiao Chen?!"

When Han Yifei saw Xiao Chen, she was also surprised. What was he doing here?

"Captain Han, the victim is a male, around 35 years old. There are no signs of a struggle, and he was killed with one fatal stab. The time of death is within the last half hour..."

A police officer came out of the bedroom and reported to Han Yifei.

"Captain Han, the victim's identity has been confirmed. His name is Liu Da Kui, unemployed, and he used to be a security supervisor at Qincheng Company..."

Another police officer came in with a file.

"Control him first!"

Han Yifei pointed at Xiao Chen and then went into the bedroom.

"..."

Xiao Chen was speechless. Damn, how did he end up in her hands? This time, even if he didn't die, he would be in deep trouble!

"Hey, Captain Han, you can't use this to get back at me!"

Xiao Chen wanted to follow her into the bedroom to defend himself!

However, as soon as he moved, several police officers aimed their guns at his head.

"Don't move, put your hands on your head and squat down!"

Xiao Chen smiled bitterly. Damn, they really thought he was the killer!
