Chapter 413: Forcible Summon

The five-star hotel was really comfortable . The two of them did not get much sleep that night . When they went for the breakfast buffet in the morning, Lin Dongxue said, "This place is really nice . Hopefully, we’ll come here to have fun next time instead of investigating a case . "

"Even if it’s in the middle of investigating the case, you haven’t lost out on anything . " Chen Shi said .

"You didn't lose out on anything either!"

"When should we come next? When you're promoted?"

A year ago, Lin Dongxue might not even dare to think about it, but recently she had been continually solving cases with Chen Shi’s help . Many people in the second team have already been promoted and she was already a deputy captain . Maybe someday “Captain Lin” would refer to Lin Dongxue and not Lin Qiupu .

When she thought about it, she was a little excited for what’s to come .

"My brother always said that if you became a police officer, everyone else would have to step aside . "

Chen Shi shook his head . "I'm used to being free . Aren’t things alright as they are right now?"

Although the hotel's buffet breakfast options were plentiful, there were only a few people and the atmosphere was extremely quiet .

Lin Dongxue got some food and turned around without paying attention . She almost bumped into a woman who was on the phone . The other party was wearing an exquisite skirt suit . Lin Dongxue apologized . The lady nodded and said that it was okay before continuing her call . “Send the script to me as soon as possible . . . I don't care about that . We’re going to record the show this afternoon . We won’t have enough time . . . "

Lin Dongxue whispered to Chen Shi, "That older woman seems to be a manager . "

Chen Shi handed his mobile phone to her so that she could have a look, "It’s the owner of Luo Zuyu's company . It’s said that she’s Luo Zuyu's sister-in-law . "

"Wow, a celebrity . "

"Maybe it won't be long before we meet somewhere else!"

After having breakfast, Lin Qiupu called Chen Shi, "I read what you sent to my email . But before applying for an arrest warrant, I want to confirm with you whether you’re sure he’s the one . This is no joking matter! If we’re wrong, we’ll bear a very big black pot[1] . "

"Relax . All the evidence points to him . "

At the other end of the phone, Lin Qiupu mumbled . "Facing this kind of public figure, if you don't take forcible measures, it’ll definitely drag on for a long time . Okay, I'll go and apply now . "

"By the way, please communicate well with the reporters . Once the matter is exposed, they’ll most likely use public opinion to their advantage . The investigation will definitely be hindered . "

"You don't need to remind me . . . Where is Dongxue?"

"She’s beside me . We’re waiting for you at the hotel . "

Lin Dongxue was very agitated when he hung up the phone . "My older brother’s coming soon?"

"There’s still a while to go . Let’s go back to sleep and conserve our energy . I foresee that we won’t be having a good night’s rest in the next couple of days . ”

"Oh, you didn’t sleep? But you were all excited last night?"

"You have to reflect on this matter as well . Who was it that-"

"Okay, okay, stop talking about it . "

At 9:00, the two were awakened by a phone call . Lin Qiupu told them to come down . They got dressed and went downstairs . A group of police officers were negotiating with the staff . The staff were still bickering with them and said that they’ll need to look for the manager .

"Doesn't your manager have a cell phone?" Chen Shi came over and asked .

"Regarding that…”

"I'll give you five minutes . Call him and let him know . "

The staff could only comply and call the manager . Then they said, "Investigating is fine, but don't alarm other guests . "

Chen Shi asked, "How many cleaners work here? Call them all down here . I need to ask them some questions . ”

The job of interrogating the cleaners was left to the other police officers . Chen Shi didn't want to miss the first meeting with Luo Zuyu himself . The police went to the floor where Luo Zuyu was staying and knocked on the door of the presidential suite . A person who was dressed like a manager asked, "What's the matter?"

Lin Qiupu displayed the documents issued by the procuratorate . "We suspect that Mr . Luo, who is staying here, is related to a case . We want to bring him back for questioning . "

"Does he really have to go to the bureau? Mr . Luo has an interview this morning and it has already been booked . "

"This is not a reason for refusal . It’s a forcible summon, do you understand?"

The manager sighed . "I'll go and relay this to Mr . Luo . "

Before Luo Zuyu came out, a lawyer came over from the corridor and said, "Hello, I'm Mr . Luo's lawyer . I'm authorized to represent the case . Please let me through . "

Lin Dongxue whispered to Chen Shi, "He hasn’t shown up yet but the lawyer has already come . It seems like they’re well prepared . "

After the lawyer walked in, no one came out for quite some time . The room downstairs was also under investigation . A police officer came up and said, "A lot of bloodstains were indeed found inside the bathtub . "

Chen Shi handed his room card to him . "I have a bag in the refrigerator in my room . It’s the vomit found in the vase in room 2207 . You can take it back for testing . The vase in room 2207 must be taken as well . "

"Vomit?" Lin Qiupu glanced at Chen Shi .

"It may be a key piece of evidence . " Chen Shi smiled .

Then Old Zhang came up to report, "Captain Lin, Captain Lin . There’s a cleaner missing . And she’s the one who had appeared on the 22nd floor on the evening of the 14th . Her colleagues said that she hadn't come to work for three days . "

Chen Shi muttered secretly .  The key witness is missing . I’m afraid she’s been bribed or . . .

Lin Qiupu said, "Think of a way to find her!"

At that moment, Luo Zuyu, who was neatly dressed, came out nonchalantly, and put his hands up . "Do I need to wear handcuffs, sir?"

This was the first time that most of the police officers have seen Luo Zuyu up close . They couldn’t help but be surprised . Entertainers were indeed groomed delicately and beautifully . The aura was completely different from that of an ordinary person .

Lin Qiupu said, "We’ll leave you face . You don’t have to wear it . ”

"Haha, save me face? I urge you to save your own face . You dare to arrest someone without evidence?"

"Mr . Luo!" The lawyer whispered . "Don't make careless remarks . "

After Luo Zuyu was taken away, the room was also investigated . The manager seemed a little disturbed . Chen Shi asked him, "How many rooms have you booked?"

"Seven . "

"Why did you book so many at the same time?"

"There’s no way around it . There’s a lot of people . In addition to me and Mr . Luo, there’s his personal stylist, personal assistant, personal nutritionist and other staff . "

"There is one more!" Chen Shi said, "The boss of your company . "

"Yes, yes . . . " The manager was breaking out in cold sweat . "You’re indeed the police . You’ve investigated so thoroughly . ”

Chen Shi looked for Lin Dongxue to ask her for the notepad that she had with her and opened it . "Tell me who lives in each room and the check-in times . I’ll verify them one by one . "

After taking note of this, Chen Shi said, "Tell me about all your activities after 6:00PM on July 14th . "

"This . . . This is also under investigation? You only summoned Mr . Luo . "

"Please cooperate . "

"Okay . . . I left the hotel at 6:00and ate with Director Chen . At 8:00, I went for a relaxing physiotherapy treatment in the spa area of the hotel . From 9:30 to 10:30, I attended an internet conference in my own room . I went to Mr . Luo's room at 11:00 . . . But he wasn’t there . "

"You stayed in a room that nobody was in?"

"I had been drinking that night and was exhausted from work, so I took a nap on the sofa . "

"Until when!"

"Until I heard the knock on the door . It was about 11:30 . Mr Luo came back and we talked about work for a while before I left .

Chen Shi smiled coldly . "You're lying!"

1 . They’ll have to deal with a big mess
