The banquet had been interrupted because of Ouyang Zhenyuan's assassination attempt, and the originally harmonious ball had suddenly become blurry.
Currently, almost half of the famous people in Zhong Hai's society were gathered in Zhenyuan Hotel, so this assassination case had immediately received high attention and attention from Zhong Hai's police.
A few minutes after Ye Zifeng arrived, the hospital's ambulance and Zhong Hai's police almost arrived at the same time.
The medics in white gowns frantically carried the "injured" Ouyang Zhenyuan onto a stretcher and sent him to the hospital. Ouyang Baanruo and Ye Zifeng originally wanted to accompany Ouyang Zhenyuan, but they were forced to stay behind by the police.
Of course, it was not only the couple, Ye Zifeng and Ouyang Baanruo, that were left at the scene. Almost everyone who participated in the party and didn't leave were left at the scene, moreover under the strict supervision of the police, not a single one could leave.
This time, the person in charge of investigating the attack on Ouyang Zhenyuan was a middle-aged policeman, who looked to be in his forties. Ye Zifeng looked at his badge, obviously he was someone who held a high position in Zhong Hai's police force. Furthermore, almost half of the famous people here knew of him, and Ouyang Baanruo was no exception.
This middle-aged policeman was none other than the Chief of Zhonghai Police Station, Tang Mingliang.
"Uncle Tang, my father …" Ouyang Baanruo's face was now filled with anxiousness, wanting to follow the medical personnel out to take care of the injured Ouyang Zhenyuan.
"Hannya, don't be anxious, nothing will happen to Brother Ouyang's Heaven's Heaven Lord. Furthermore, this time, the First Hospital is sending out a few famous trauma experts. The higher-ups have already issued a death order, we have to ensure the safety of Brother Ouyang, so little girl Hannya, you can relax a thousand and ten thousand hearts. Uncle can guarantee, your father won't have any mishaps! "
Tang Mingliang's words were firm, and over again he guaranteed that Ye Zifeng seemed to know a bit of the situation.
Hearing Tang Mingliang's guarantee, Ouyang Baanruo's hanging heart seemed to relax a little.
Tang Mingliang on the other hand, narrowed his eyes and smiled, his gaze faintly sweeping across Ye Zifeng who was beside Ouyang Baanruo, as if she had some deep meaning.
"Alright, little girl Hannya, first tell your uncle about the situation when your father was assassinated. Your uncle will be able to eliminate the suspect and capture the culprit.
Hearing Tang Mingliang's question, Ouyang Baanruo calmed down and tried her best to recall the situation at that time.
Not long after, he heard Ouyang Baanruo say, "To be honest, I don't even know what exactly the situation at that time was. I only remember when I walked out of the dance floor and my dad waved at me, but before I could get to my dad, the lights in the entire hotel went out, and the entire hotel was dark, as if there was a blackout. "
"The lights are out?" Tang Mingliang questioned, and asked: "Then what happened next?"
Ouyang Baanruo tried hard to recall: "Then the scene became chaotic, and then I heard someone shouting loudly, 'Murder, murder …'"
"When did the lights come back on in the hotel?" Tang Mingliang continued to ask.
Ouyang Baanruo lowered her head, thought for a while and said: "About ten minutes later, the lights in the hotel lit up again. At that time, everyone was in a fluster, and I could already see father lying in a pool of blood!"
Tang Mingliang hissed coldly, thought for a moment and continued: "Little girl Hannya, then do you remember when the lights in the hotel will all be extinguished?"
"This, I don't seem to remember!" Ouyang Baanruo bit her lips and tried her best to recall, but at that time was too chaotic, she really couldn't remember.
However, at this time, someone stood up and said, "Director Tang, I remember that the lights in the hotel were completely extinguished at 9 o'clock in the morning!"
The one who interrupted them was none other than the fat Jin Datong.
Tang Mingliang was startled for a moment, and then his gaze swept across Jin Datong: "Director Jin is sure that it's 9 o'clock?"
"Yes, I'm sure it's 9 o'clock sharp!"
Tang Mingliang looked at Jin Datong suspiciously and continued, "Back then it was a mess, how could Director Jin remember this time so clearly?"
Jin Datong seemed to have been prepared for a long time. He turned around and pointed to the ancient Western Bell in the center of the inn and said, "He was the one who told me this. Although it was pitch black, but it was exactly 1 o'clock, so that's why I can remember it so clearly! "
Tang Mingliang smiled indifferently, and said indifferently: "Looks like Director Jin is a very meticulous person!"
Tang Mingliang waved to the people behind him.
Immediately, a young policeman ran up to him. "Chief Tang?"
"Little Li, bring a few people to the Zhenyuan Tavern's security area, have them provide the location of the Zhenyuan Hotel's distribution room, and also check the monitoring system. Don't let off any of the people that appear near the Zhenyuan Hotel's distribution room around nine o'clock."
"Yes, Chief Tang!"
Saying that, the young policeman called Li Jun quickly called a few people to go downstairs.
However, Tang Mingliang's actions did not stop there, he said: "Xiao Liu, inform the hospital, let them properly take care of that weapon, that is important material evidence, once the operation is over, seal that dagger tightly!"
"Yes, Chief Tang!"
It had to be said that Tang Mingliang handled cases with a style that was swift and decisive, making people unable to find any fault with it, it could be said to be perfect. However, in the eyes of Ye Zifeng, this kind of perfection was one of his major shortcomings.
Firstly, Tang Mingliang gave the order to seal off the place before he even arrived at the scene. Then, Tang Mingliang didn't question anyone else, he only interrogated Ouyang Baanruo by himself, and through Ouyang Baanruo's few words, he immediately issued two very correct orders, as if he did not need any circumstantial evidence. Especially when he thought about Ouyang Zhenyuan's act of pretending to be dead and Tang Mingliang's solemn promise, Ye Zifeng could not help but start to suspect that there was already a tacit understanding between Ouyang Zhenyuan and himself.
Of course, this was just Ye Zifeng's guess, but there wasn't any direct evidence that could explain this point. Ye Zifeng also couldn't completely understand why Ouyang Zhenyuan would make such a joke today.
However, just as everyone was panicking, someone suddenly stood out and asked: "Director Tang, we have been cooperating with your investigation. I wonder when we big guys will be able to leave?"
The person who spoke was a well-dressed middle-aged man that Ye Zifeng did not recognize. However, his words resonated with those of everyone present, "That's right, that's right. Director Tang, when will we be able to leave in the end?"
As for why everyone wanted to leave this place, Tang Mingliang naturally understood. However, at this moment, he laughed and said, "Calm down everyone. Calm down. I will let everyone leave once I have investigated thoroughly."
"Director Tang, I have asked you everything that needs to be asked and said, what more do you want to investigate? Could it be that Director Tang thinks that the culprit will be in our group?"
This rhetorical question immediately caused the entire stadium to be in an uproar.
With regards to the heated words, Tang Mingliang did not refute them, but continued, "Sun Dong's doubts are also my own, I do not currently rule out the possibility that the murderer has not left this restaurant. Therefore, for the sake of everyone's safety, it's best for them to endure for a while! "
Tang Mingliang's words instantly stirred up a thousand ripples, and everyone began to panic once again.
Then, he heard Tang Mingliang say once again: "Alright, now I want to ask everyone one last question. "Between 8: 40 and 9: 10, if any of you have left this hotel, please step forward and cooperate with the investigation!"
Hearing Tang Mingliang's question, everyone looked at each other. Obviously, the meaning behind Tang Mingliang's words was obvious. Those who left the hotel between 8: 40 and 9: 10 were basically listed as the focus of their investigations. Naturally, no one would be willing to admit to this. Who would be willing to be a suspect in this group of celebrities?
However, Tang Mingliang's words immediately awakened a person in the arena. It was Faang Mingshan, and at this moment, Faang Mingshan had a sinister look in his eyes as he suddenly stood out and spoke in an insidious tone, "Director Tang, I remember now, Miss Ouyang's fiance seems to have disappeared during this period of time!"
After hearing Faang Mingshan's words, the rest of the people present, including Tang Mingliang, all turned their gazes to Ye Zifeng.
