Chapter 37 Case Investigation
When Li Yuan rushed back to the firm, the LAPD staff had already arrived.
Leading the group were his old acquaintances, David and William.
However, this time they also brought some police officers with them.
Li Yuan greeted them with a smile, "Hey, what trouble have you two run into?"
"If you have any commissions, I can give you a discount."
Detective David, as if he were certain Li Yuan was the murderer, was the first to speak, shouting:
"Stop playing dumb! Tell me where you were last night!"
As he spoke, he unfolded two sheets of paper.
"This is a search warrant issued by the judge regarding the murder case you are suspected of committing last night."
The search area includes suspicious items inside the office, as well as relevant areas of your apartment. Make sure you understand!
Li Yuan glanced at the investigation order and immediately understood that the deaths of the three people last night must have implicated him.
However, he remained completely unfazed, instead responding with a mocking expression:
"What else can we do? Of course, we go on dates with girls and play cards. Isn't that what everyone does?"
Detective David pressed on, asking:
"Who can vouch for what you're saying?"
Upon hearing this, Li Yuan exclaimed in surprise:
"No way, does Detective David like to have people watching him play poker?"
As he spoke, he turned to look at Edward, and the two of them burst into laughter.
"Shut up, you bastard!"
Detective David cursed, his face flushed with anger: "Were you wearing a pumpkin head last night?"
"no."
He stared into David's eyes and shook his head, teasing him in a playful tone:
"Even dogs don't wear pumpkin heads."
"you--"
Detective David wanted to say something more, but was stopped by his partner William.
William asked in a calm tone:
"Then, Mr. Li Yuan, we need to conduct a search."
Li Yuan turned to the side and readily agreed:
"You can search as much as you want, just don't mess things up."
As long as the other party doesn't resort to underhanded framing, Li Yuan isn't afraid of a search at all; he left no evidence behind.
He didn't even have a drop of blood on him last night, and the pumpkin head had already been stored in his system space.
William nodded upon hearing this and gestured to the officers behind him.
The police officers then began searching Li Yuan's office.
However, Li Yuan's office was not very well furnished, so the search was quickly completed.
The officers walked out of the office and said to William with disappointment:
"Boss, nothing found."
William nodded and said to Li Yuan:
"Mr. Li Yuan, let's go to your place together."
"No problem, let's go."
Li Yuan shrugged and told Edward, who was standing next to him, to watch the shop.
He then left the office with the group.
After a large number of police officers arrived at Li Yuan's apartment, they conducted another thorough search, but still found nothing.
David's face darkened as he watched the police officers emerge from Li Yuan's house.
He glared at Li Yuan, who was smiling, and roared:
"You bastard, I'll catch you red-handed sooner or later!"
Li Yuan spread his hands innocently:
Why do you always think I'm a bad person? Are you being racist?
William quickly pulled the angry David aside and apologized to Li Yuan:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Li Yuan, for causing you trouble. David is just eager to solve the case."
"It's okay, I understand the difficulties the police face."
Li Yuan was quite friendly towards William, who had a good attitude.
He smiled and winked at David behind Kevin:
"Looks like you're going to get a few more complaint letters."
Just as Li Yuan was in a good mood, he rushed back to the firm.
They saw Edward talking to two clergymen.
Edward heard the door open, turned around and saw Li Yuan, and quickly said:
"Li Yuan is back, go ask him."
Two well-dressed church members looked over at the same time upon hearing this.
His eyes held a hint of contempt and coldness.
Seeing their expressions, Li Yuan also stopped smiling.
"Did you need something?"
"We are investigators from the Los Angeles Parish."
One of them stared at Li Yuan and slowly spoke:
"We received a report that suspects you of having connections with the devil."
Upon hearing this, Li Yuan scoffed:
"What a ridiculous accusation! How could I possibly know who reported it?"
"I'm sorry, we can't tell you."
The investigator then took out a Bible and a small bottle of holy water, saying:
"Please hold the Bible in your hand, and then drink the holy water to prove that you have not conspired with the devil."
Before Li Yuan could respond, the two quickly walked towards him.
"Are you crazy? Who do you think you are?"
Looking at the guy in front of him, Li Yuan thought he was a madman:
"I don't care where you're used to throwing your weight around, but you can't do that here."
Li Yuan instantly took out the oak hammer, shook it in his hand, and gave it a shake.
He glared at the two investigators with an unfriendly expression:
"If you don't want to die, you'd better get out of here right now."
Seeing that Li Yuan seemed really about to make a move, a hint of panic flashed in their cold eyes.
They had never seen anyone so disrespectful to them.
Seeing this, the investigator holding the holy water had no choice but to explain softly:
"Mr. Li Yuan, we meant well, this way you can clear your name."
He swallowed and continued:
"Father Mark from the West Los Angeles parish was killed at his home last night by an evil creature."
Li Yuan sneered inwardly upon hearing this, but his eyes remained innocent as he said:
"I was on a date last night, I didn't have time to care about that guy's life or death!"
As they spoke, the two investigators cautiously bypassed Li Yuan and slowly moved to the doorway.
Taking advantage of a moment when Li Yuan's gaze shifted, the investigator who was holding the holy water suddenly splashed it at him.
A bottle of holy water the size of a thumb can't hold much to begin with.
Li Yuan felt a chill on his face, then angrily cursed:
"Are you fucking crazy?!"
Li Yuan wiped his face, picked up the hammer, and pretended to smash it.
Seeing that Li Yuan showed no abnormalities, the two investigators quickly shouted:
"Mr. Li, please calm down. We've made a mistake!"
He turned around quickly and ran frantically toward the door.
The two pushed and shoved each other as they fled through the door, one of them even losing a shoe in the process.
Li Yuan watched the two figures leave in a disheveled state, then smiled and put away his hammer.
He actually took that holy water hit on purpose.
I'm not an evil creature, so why would I be afraid of holy water?
There's nothing wrong with simply clearing yourself of suspicion.
Edward stood there stunned for a moment before slowly saying:
"The investigator's name sounds impressive, but I didn't expect him to be such an incompetent person."
Li Yuan said irritably:
"What? You want them to fight me?"
Edward glanced at Li Yuan and teased him with a smile:
"I would be happy to watch a kung fu movie for free."
Li Yuan kicked Edward directly, laughing and cursing:
"I can beat you up right now and show you some kung fu!"
The firm opened for business as usual the next morning.
Just as Li Yuan was wiping his desk with a towel, the office door was pushed open.
A young girl walked in nervously.
She glanced hesitantly around the office.
Then, looking at Li Yuan and the other person, he asked slowly:
"Excuse me, who is Mr. Li Yuan?"
Upon hearing this, Li Yuan put on a smile and said to the girl:
"I am Li Yuan. What can I do for you?"
The girl glanced at Li Yuan hesitantly and said in broken English:
"I...I want to ask you...to exorcise the demon for me..."
