Just as Xiao He was at a loss, Peng Wenyin made a call. Not long after, a colleague from the technical department opened Lu Xiaoshan's cell phone password. He was shocked by what he saw.

So it turned out that Lu Xiaoshan and Tan Wenshi really were lovers. Tan Wenshi had given her the apartment where Lu Xiaoshan had died, so that they could contact each other privately and not be sent there.

There was no lack of signing during this period of time, but the two of them were probably being too careful. Although there were some records on her phone, they didn't know what kind of agreements she had signed.

Xiao He had already confirmed the relationship between the two of them. Now that it was confirmed through Peng Wenyin's phone call, he wasn't too surprised. The two of them chatted for a bit before hanging up.

He rubbed his temples. Perhaps it was because the case was too heavy recently, but his brain always had a faint ache. Xiao He got up and went to the refrigerator to get a bottle of beer. Now, he had to drink a bit of alcohol to be able to sleep better.

Sure enough, after drinking a bottle of wine, Xiao He's tiredness hit him and he quickly fell asleep.

Not long after, Xiao He, whose eyes were tightly shut, suddenly lifted up the blanket. His forehead was dripping with fine beads of sweat, and his expression became extremely sinister. His mouth opened and closed without anyone knowing what he was saying.

Ah!

Xiao He's body shook as he abruptly opened his eyes. He stood up and leaned against the mattress. His thin lips were bloodless. He opened his mouth wide and took a few deep breaths.

Since the clown case, whether he wanted to admit it or not, it had affected his life, because he always had the same nightmares, and when Xiao He heard that he slept a little more soundly over a glass of wine, he had tried it out, but it worked, and he'd had a beer every night before he went to bed, and he hadn't had a nightmare for three or four days.

But tonight, he suddenly dreamt of that thing!

Xiao He turned on his phone. It said three in the morning, and he didn't want to dream about it again. He stretched out his arm, switched on the light, picked up the book on the bedside table, and studied it again.

Soon it was seven o'clock. Xiao He rubbed his eyes, got up and did a few push-ups, then jogged for half an hour on the spot. His body was covered in sweat, then he took another shower, packed up, and drove to the police station.

Colleagues from the homicide team came in one by one. Ning Ruonan saw Xiao He with dark circles under his eyes like a panda at first glance, "Captain Xiao, did you not sleep last night?"

Xiao He laughed dryly and scratched his head. Naturally, he found it embarrassing to say that he couldn't sleep because of the nightmare. He mumbled a couple of times and Ning Ruonan once again blurted out, "Pay attention to your body!"

He nodded. When everyone arrived, he held a meeting and briefly summarized yesterday's gains and what he had to do today. He brought Ning Ruonan to Wukang once again.

The girl at the front desk was still the same one from yesterday. With her sharp eyes, she saw Xiao He and Ning Ruonan walk in, stooping and preparing to slip away. Unexpectedly, Xiao He had a better expression, she was stopped just after taking two steps.

"Little beauty, where are you going!" Xiao He had his hands in his pockets and was laughing so hard that the corners of his eyes were full of wrinkles.

The girl was stunned as the corner of her mouth twitched. "No, Officer Xiao, you're early today!"

"Oh, we still want to see Mr. Zhao today." Xiao He pointed to the front desk.

The young lady dryly laughed twice. Yesterday, the leader had asked her to go speak with him. She had to keep watch at the front desk so that no police officers could enter. However, what could she say to that? After thinking for a while, he answered slowly, "Sorry, officers. Director Zhao is not in the company today."

Xiao He had already expected her to say this. The more the girl at the front desk was like this, the more he could confirm his guess. Fifth Kang and Lu Xiaoshan had unspeakable secrets.

He sneered, "Do you know the crime of obstructing a public security case?"

The little girl had never seen much of the world, or perhaps it could be said that an honest person had not been questioned by the police. Xiao He's face darkened, and she began to hesitate. Seeing this, Xiao He berated, "Hurry up and call him down. Do you want me to invite him to the police station for questioning?"

The little girl nodded in fear, ran to the counter and dialed the number upstairs.

Mr. Zhao was the man who had been practicing Taiji Fist with Xiao He yesterday. He walked over unhurriedly with his big fat belly. He looked to be in a bad mood.

After shaking hands with him, Xiao He remembered that he had a lecherous habit, so he didn't ask him to greet Ning Ruonan.

Mr. Zhao touched his nose and invited the two upstairs. Xiao He said that today's matter was rather serious and would affect the image of a large company. It would be best to find a quiet place.

Mr. Zhao's office was on the 15th floor. The elevator slowly rose and they walked in. The secretary quickly followed and asked them what they wanted to drink. Then, he quickly walked out on his heels.

Xiao He went straight to the point. "What is the partnership between Mr. Tan and Lu Xiaoshan?"

Mr. Zhao was stunned. He did not expect that the person he had a conversation with yesterday would have a different question today. He pondered for a while before saying, "Sorry, this is our company's secret. We can't say for sure."

"Mr. Zhao, I don't want to play games with you. Lu Xiaoshan died not far from the suburbs yesterday." Xiao He paused for a moment. With a glint in his eye, he softly said, "You can choose to not tell me anything today and wait for me to come tomorrow to inspect your corpse."

If he had said that he was fine, the company would definitely be in trouble. After thinking for a moment, he continued to circle around Xiao He, "I'm sorry Officer Xiao, I don't understand what you're talking about."
