THE SIDE CHARACTER'S HIDDEN BOSS!

CHAPTER 149

Chapter 149: The Neighbourhood Guard

Lu Xuan checked Mo Li’s report again and was increasingly impressed by her skill.

…

“That might be so, but we have nothing on He Sen. Like all the other suspects, we can only observe him for now.” Quan Yu thought about using some drastic methods but after giving it some thought, he decided it would be too rash.

As Mo Li went through the case notes that Quan Yu finally shared with her, she suddenly asked, “What is the relationship between Zhuang Xin’s manager and the guard at Zhuang Xin’s neighbourhood?”

“We never looked into it. Why?”

“Look at their testimonies. There are too many similarities. In fact, there are phrases which are carbon copies of each other.”

“Bring the kid over here now.” Quan Yu glanced at Ah Si. How could they have missed something like that? They had pored through the case files many times but they didn’t once catch it.

Quan Yu and Ah Si once again looked through the two recorded statements. Then Quan Yu immediately mobilized the police to bring the guard over to Quan Yu’s place.

This time, Mo Li and Ah Si would be handling the questioning.

“Don’t worry, you’re not a suspect, or else we would be having this conversation at the police station.” Mo Li said. For questioning, the first thing to do was to help the target put their guard down, only then they would be more willing to tell the truth.

The guard’s name was Chen Quan. He sat there nervously. He was incredibly tense.

Since he was summoned over in a hurry, he was hungry and thirsty, but he was too embarrassed to drink the water on the table.

Mo Li smiled and handed him the bottle of mineral water.

Ah Si looked at her and shivered. Even the curve of her fake smile is almost similar to the boss’!

“Have some water.”

As if ordered, Chen Quan opened the lid and took a big gulp of water. Then Chen Quan studied Mo Li and asked, “Are you…” Chen Quan wanted to know if Mo Li was the popular celebrity, the one that he kept seeing on advertisements recently. But why would a starlet be questioning him?

So, in the end, he convinced himself that Mo Li was just a look-a-like and Chen Quan shut his mouth.

Then, all of a sudden, Mo Li sighed and stood up. “I need to leave this room to handle something. I’ll be back. Ah Si, I need you to come with me.”

After they left the room, Ah Si asked, “Mrs. b… I mean, Miss Mo Li, is there a problem with the man?”

Leaning against the door, Mo Li said, “The man looks far more reliable than the homeless man but he’s too nervous for a questioning.”

When he heard that, Ah Si asked instinctively, “You can tell that too? Are you really just a high school student?!”

Mo Li was startled by the question. That’s right, I’m just a high school student! Being a genius won’t explain the wealth of investigative knowledge I inherited from my previous life!

Seeing the awkwardness on Mo Li’s face, Ah Si quickly pretended like he had not asked that question.

Mo Li naturally changed the subject, “We need to get a breakthrough from this man. However, he is too tense, both physically and emotionally. We need get him to loosen up or else we might not be able to get him to converse normally with us.”

“But isn’t dealing with such individuals your specialty?” Quan Yu walked out. Even though he had just said a few words to Mo Li, his lips curved involuntarily.

Noticing how close Ah Si was standing to Mo Li, Quan Yu shot his bodyguard a threatening look. It was filled with hostility.

Oh shit! Ah Si cursed internally and quickly took 2 steps back.
