Something's wrong with how I'm watching anime.

Kruberos understood and immediately flapped its wings and flew towards the study.

Kazama arrived at the door and looked through the peephole at the door.

Two people were standing outside the door.

A man and a woman, both dressed in police uniforms.

Kazama had met one of them before.

It was the same policewoman he knocked unconscious at the casino yesterday.

Chapter Forty-Four: Li Bingruo

Looking through the peephole at the police officers outside the door, one of whom was someone Kazama recognized, he almost thought he had been exposed somewhere.

But as his thoughts raced, Kazama couldn't find any flaws he might have left behind.

However, if asked to think of a reason for being approached, he could indeed think of one.

With that in mind, Kazama opened the door.

"Who are you...?"

...........

After pressing the doorbell, Li Bingruo and her colleagues waited quietly outside the door.

Her visit was naturally about the major case that happened yesterday.

To be honest, this major case is different from the past; its difficulty can be described as hellish.

First of all, the suspect's specific identity information has not yet been confirmed.

Most importantly, the whereabouts of the suspect were unknown. Upon discovering the secret passage in the dog farm, they immediately retrieved surveillance videos from the national highway along the factory area, but found no clues whatsoever. It was as if the suspect had vanished into thin air.

The clues that can still be explored are now very limited.

For example, the car rental company where the suspect rented the car.

However, because the suspect used completely forged identity information to rent the car and paid in cash, it's very difficult to find clues from the car rental company.

Accessing the surveillance footage from that location was also unsuccessful due to the suspect's strong counter-tracking abilities.

Aside from the car rental clue, the only remaining clue is the person who introduced the suspect to the casino.

As the operators of the casino, Xiao Ao's criminal gang was quite cautious. To enter the casino, one needed a designated accomplice and an introducer.

Based on the confessions of members of Xiao Ao's criminal gang, the police quickly located the suspect's introducer.

Liu Weiguang is the director of a stray animal rescue station.

Yesterday, the police summoned Liu Weiguang to the police station for questioning.

According to Liu Weiguang.

He did not know the suspect.

Just the night before last, Yu Bie suddenly approached him, gave him some money, and asked him to introduce him to the casino.

Liu Weiguang's statement contained absolutely no valuable information.

But in this situation, every tiny clue must be seized.

For example, why did the suspect target Liu Weiguang?

Could the suspect know Liu Weiguang and have information about him, which is why he approached him?

Therefore, the police immediately launched an investigation into Liu Weiguang.

but...

It's hard.

Liu Weiguang's social connections are quite complicated; even people in his neighborhood know he's a gambling addict.

Moreover, Liu Weiguang didn't just gamble at Xiao Ao's casino; he also frequented other small underground gambling dens.

Once you find a gambling addict like him, the suspect has many options.

Even so, what needs to be done still needs to be done.

The police immediately launched an investigation around this location, and also raided several underground gambling dens in the process.

In addition, they also investigated everyone Liu Weiguang had contact with.

At the shelter, the police knew from surveillance footage that someone had been there.

According to Liu Weiguang, the other party wanted to come and see the stray dog ​​so they could adopt it, and even left their phone number.

So Li Bingruo and her colleagues came to her door.

"Boss, I think... this time we're going to come back empty-handed again."

A colleague sighed and said that they had already visited several companies before this.

"Shut up," Li Bingruo said coldly.

At that moment, the sound of a door lock clicking could be heard, and the door was opened.

A tall, handsome young man appeared at the door.

"And you two are?"

In response to the young man's question, Li Bingruo produced her police officer ID.

"police."

"You must be Mr. Kazama Kaze. We'd like to ask you about a case."

"A case?" The young man frowned.

"Yes, please cooperate."

"Okay, please come in."

Li Bingruo and her colleagues went inside.

As is customary for police officers, Li Bingruo's first reaction was to observe the situation inside the house.

The shoe cabinet in the entryway contains men's shoes of the same size, suggesting that only one person lives in this house.

Step out of the entrance hall and into the house.

The house is tidy, which shows that the owner is very clean.

It's quite rare among single men.

"Please have a seat, both of you," the young man said.

"Ah."

Li Bingruo and her colleagues sat down on the sofa.

Would you like something to drink?

"It's too much trouble for you, plain water is fine."

Li Bingruo's colleague immediately spoke up.

I've been running all afternoon, and I'm quite thirsty now.

"OK."

The young man brought two glasses of water from the kitchen, placed them on the coffee table, and then sat down on the sofa next to him.

"Gentlemen, what would you like to know?" the young man asked.

Li Bingruo did not speak immediately, but continued to observe.

Three books were placed in one corner of the sofa.

One of them is "Dynamic Macroeconomic Theory".

One of them is "A Basic Course in Topology".

Another book is "A Comprehensive Explanation of Western Mythology".

It must be frequently climbed over, which is why it was placed next to the sofa.

However, the range is somewhat large...

Li Bingruo's gaze then fell on the young man in front of her.

Dressed in casual loungewear, she exudes a strong scholarly air.

Her ten fingers are fair and slender, and she rarely engages in physical labor.

Based on the information gathered during my prior research, it fits well with his identity as a freelance writer.

"That's how it is..."

Li Bingruo's colleague spoke up:

"On August 12th, you went to the Zenith District and visited a stray dog ​​rescue center, right?"

"Yes, that's right."

Why did you go there?

"Because I want to adopt a dog... By the way, why do the police care about this?"

"Please don't be nervous, it's just a normal inquiry."

"And then you left?"

"Well, because I still had some doubts to begin with, plus I hadn't found anything I really liked or that caught my eye..."

"I see...."

"So what were you doing the day before yesterday?"

"The day before yesterday? Let me think..."

"In the morning, I stayed at home. In the afternoon, I went to the city library. In the evening, I took a walk in the nearby park and then went home."

"Uh-huh..."
