Team Leader Zhao looked at the other five people and asked,

"Can anyone here prove he's been here the whole time?"

The five of them looked at each other.

Needless to say, Dilraba was kidnapped.

Lu Fei looked at Zheng Guanjie with some embarrassment and said softly,

"It's not that I don't want to help you, but I have to tell you the truth. I was playing mahjong all night and really didn't notice you."

Zheng Guanjie's face darkened as he looked at Wang Rou and Liu Kun.

The two of them gave an awkward smile and shook their heads. "We really didn't notice, really."

Shen Yi shrugged.

"I can prove that you were there before 9:10. After that, I went to the kitchen and couldn't see you anymore."

Zheng Guanjie was speechless. He had sat there all night, but no one could vouch for him.

Team Leader Zhao looked at him with a half-smile, waiting to see how he would explain.

Zheng Guanjie pursed his lips, a struggling expression on his face, as if he was hesitating whether or not to say something.

"You'd better tell the truth, or I'll still suspect you're the murderer," Captain Zhao warned.

This one sentence was what finally made Zheng Guanjie lose his composure.

"I have evidence."

When he spoke, he looked somewhat shy, making everyone think they were seeing things.

"Well, I was sitting in the living room chatting with another person at the time."

Zheng Guanjie pointed to his phone.

"Take a look at that Mr. Wang from AAA Building Materials."

Team Leader Zhao swiped his phone and found that there really was someone with that name, but it was a rather ordinary name, the kind that someone in business would use.

However, when he clicked on it, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Nima!

Several nude photos appeared on the live stream screen, but the program team blurred them out.

【I... damn it!】

[The CEO of AAA Building Materials is actually a woman?]

Did I just see something wrong? I think I saw some scenes that were inappropriate for children?

[Thump! Bro, you read that right, because I reacted.]

Who is this guy chatting with that he's sending this kind of photo?

...

The other five were still unaware of what Zhao had seen or why he had such a strange expression, so Zheng Guanjie explained with a wry smile.

"This is our company's receptionist. She's married, but it's just the two of us."

He didn't finish speaking, but everyone knew what he meant.

The five people stared at him, mouths agape, in disbelief.

Zheng Guanjie's face burned, but in order to clear his name, he was determined to go all out.

"That night, her husband wasn't home, so we kept chatting. I even had her send me a lot of photos, like the ones you see."

"Officer, look at the time. I was chatting with her the whole time; I didn't have time to kill anyone."

Team Leader Zhao looked down to check the chat time, and it really was around 9 pm last night. This guy had been chatting quite intensively.

To say that he was replying to messages while simultaneously killing people and playing the role of a demon seems like putting him in a difficult position.

"Alright, I'll keep these as evidence for now." Captain Zhao handed his phone to Xiao Song, who was standing next to him.

When Zheng Guanjie saw that Captain Zhao was about to confiscate his phone, he became a little anxious.

"No, what about my chat history?"

"Don't worry, this is a moral issue, we can only offer advice," Captain Zhao replied calmly.

Zheng Guanjie is out of the running, leaving only the five people in front of us. Excluding Dilraba, there are four others.

"I've been playing mahjong the whole time. I told you that when I gave my statement that day," Lu Fei quickly raised her hand.

"We felt the same way. Even if he went to the toilet for two minutes, it wouldn't be enough to kill him," Wang Rou said nervously, pulling Liu Kun aside.

These three could vouch for each other, and Captain Zhao looked at the last one, Shen Yi.

Shen Yi smiled helplessly.

"So I'm the only one left? But I was eating instant noodles in the kitchen at the time, and they saw me. They mentioned it when they took my statement."

Team Leader Zhao has read Shen Yi's statement, and to be honest, the credibility of his statement is questionable.

Because the alibis of Lu Fei, Wang Rou, and Liu Kun are mutually corroborating, indicating that they have not escaped everyone's sight.

But Shen Yi was different; he was in the kitchen, out of everyone's sight.

"You three think about it again. Did you really see him go into the kitchen? You're absolutely sure you saw him!"

"And you, Li Xiaohong, let's think about it together."

Team Leader Zhao emphasized his words.

Upon hearing this, all four of them hesitated and began to recall.

"How about this, do you guys remember where you were? Just sit down at the mahjong table and think about it carefully."

Team Leader Zhao had the four of them sit back in the same spots where they had played mahjong that night.

And you know what? As soon as we sat down, everyone instantly remembered us.

Li Xiaohong pointed behind her, "I remember that when we were playing, Lu Fei said her luck wasn't good, so she switched places with me. I was facing away from the corridor at the time. I only saw Shen Yi walk over, but I didn't notice whether he went in or not."

"Yes, yes." Wang Rou was sitting with her side facing the corridor. "I remember now. Shen Yi said he was going to get instant noodles, and at that moment, Lu Fei said she had won by drawing a tile and getting a pure hand. I didn't believe her, so I leaned over the table to count her tiles. I didn't notice if Shen Yi had come over. In the end, Lu Fei was just bluffing. I remember it very clearly."

Liu Kun was also facing the corridor sideways. "Me too. After Xiao Rou finished counting, she excitedly shouted that she had cheated. I also counted the cards out of curiosity, and it was indeed Lu Fei who misread the cards."

None of the three seats offered a convenient view of the corridor, except for Lu Fei's seat, which directly faced the corridor. Captain Zhao looked at her.

"And you, are you sure?"

Everyone looked at Lu Fei. Whether Shen Yi was a suspect depended on whether she had seen it or not.

Shen Yi looked at Lu Fei with a bitter expression, feeling as if his life was now in someone else's hands.

"I remember now." Lu Fei recalled for a moment, then looked up at Captain Zhao with certainty.

"Okay, so did you see him go in and come out?" This question was so important that my voice trembled slightly.

"I saw it, I'm absolutely sure." Lu Fei answered decisively without the slightest hesitation. "I remember when Wang Rou said I was bluffing, I was very upset. I originally wanted to call Shen Yi a jinx, but when I looked up, he had already walked to the kitchen door and gone inside, so I didn't say anything."

"Are you sure you're not mistaken? You need to know that making false evidence is illegal." Captain Zhao frowned, his tone becoming increasingly stern.

If Shen Yi is also ruled out, then all suspects are ruled out, which shouldn't be the case.

Lu Fei tilted her head and asked Captain Zhao in return,

"Officer, I don't know him. Why would I make up a false testimony? I really saw him, so I said so. I didn't lie."

[My Lu Fei would never lie, what kind of talk is Captain Zhao giving? Honestly.]

[He's panicking, Captain Zhao is panicking! He can't find the killer.]

As it stands, there are indeed no Yakshas here.

...

Lu Fei's certainty left Captain Zhao with no choice.

Unexpectedly, after checking again, it was the same as before: everyone had an alibi. What exactly went wrong?

The entire living room became incredibly quiet, with only a few pairs of eyes darting around anxiously.

Since no evidence can be found at the scene, there is only one option: wait for the investigation results.

Ten minutes later, Xiao Song's phone rang. He opened it, his face lit up with joy, and he handed it to Captain Zhao. At the same time, he looked at the people present with a hint of mockery and ridicule.
