Catching The Killer Chapter 3

Compared to Oliver Pei's situation, An Xinyao's side was much smoother.

She and Ji Jie were now sitting on a comfortable sofa with milk tea in their hands. Opposite them sat Lin Min and Hua Ling. The atmosphere didn't look like they were here to investigate a case.

"I've heard that Miss An works in the special case team, but I didn't expect that her first meeting with our Lin Min would be under such circumstances."

Hua Ling's tone was friendly and polite, but she didn't expect An Xinyao to be a straight shooter: "I don't have much time to get close to you during the investigation. I'm not familiar with you."

"Tell me, what did you do at Dong Jing's house yesterday?"

She completely discarded her previous infatuated look, opened her notebook and said to Lin Min without looking up: "And you, Lin Min, please repeat the content of the phone call in full."

Hua Ling's smile froze: "Lin Min and I have already taken statements this morning."

"Yes, I know, you were interrogated by our sister Qianlan," An Xinyao raised her head and said impatiently, "but does this have anything to do with the question I asked you?"

"Or do you want to go to the interrogation room again?" An Xinyao smiled, her words full of threats, "It must have cost a lot to remove the trending search for #林旻司令#, right?"

Ji Jie took a sip of milk tea and suppressed the smile on his lips. An Xinyao was an upright little princess with a strong background. In this situation, the only one who would suffer would be the other party.

Although Lin Min's current status is not low, he is obviously not as good as the eldest daughter of the An family.

"As long as you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door. There's nothing I can't say." Lin Min, who had been silent all the time, spoke. His tone was light and gentle, which immediately dissolved the somewhat awkward atmosphere.

"Because of my job, I never turn off my phone at night. Dong Jing called me last night and didn't say anything else, just some harsh words, telling me to wait and see, she will ruin my reputation."

"She then hung up the phone, and when I called again it said the phone was turned off."

Lin Min looked somewhat helpless: "Although I don't know what she was referring to, Miss An must also know that in this circle, it takes only one mouth to spread rumors, but it takes a lot of effort to refute them. Plus, I felt that Dong Jing's condition was not very good, so I asked Sister Hua to do the PR overnight."

Ji Jie interrupted Lin Min's narration: "Not in good condition?"

"Yes, she gave me a bad feeling, a bit hysterical and crazy."

"Although people on the Internet say that Dong Jing is a big shot and has a bad personality, people in the industry know that she has a good temper," Lin Min said with bitterness and regret, "To be honest, I can't believe that the phone call last night was really from her."

This may be enough to fool Ji Jie, but to the gossiper An Xinyao, she just felt that Lin Min was a big white lotus: "Aren't you the one who forced her into this state?"

"Dong Jing has been attacked since July, and the people fighting on the front line are your fans. Don't tell me you don't know this."

Lin Min's expression didn't change even when he was exposed: "It's just a plan made by the two companies. You can only become popular after you become a big black, right?"

Seeing that An Xinyao was about to refute, Ji Jie quickly held down the little fighter: "Where is Ms. Hua? Didn't you find anything special?"

Now that the conversation was over, Hua Ling stopped playing tai chi: "Yes, Dong Jing does have some information. Our Lin Min used to have a good relationship with her, but I didn't expect that she kept a recording of the two of them discussing the script."

"We have always denied the speculation about CP, while Dong Jing has remained silent and has not responded. This is also a plan that the two companies and the program team have already made. I don't know why Dong Jing is crazy, but if she leaks these recordings, it will damage the interests of all three parties."

Hua Ling sighed: "Lin Min didn't know about this. I also used some means to find out. Lin Min is now on the rise and can't withstand the attack of public opinion. So after I couldn't contact Dong Jing and her agent, I went to Dong Jing's residence."

"After all, Dong Jing is very popular and has some connections. It only takes a few clicks for her to post on Weibo, so I am so anxious."

Hua Ling's words were sincere and there were no obvious logical loopholes, so An Xinyao couldn't help but believe them a little.

"I went to Dong Jing's home this morning, but didn't see anyone. I waited outside the door for a while and then left. It's that simple."

"I thought she was ready to break up with me, so I contacted her company directly to come up with a plan," Hua Ling handed the phone to An Xinyao, "The call records are all in there, you can check it out."

"That's all we know," Hua Ling ended the questioning with one sentence, and did not forget to flatter An Xinyao, "I only cooperated like this for Miss An's sake."

"I know that this kind of inquiry will be recorded, and I hope Miss An will not spread this conversation."

An Xinyao turned off the recorder: "Please don't doubt my professionalism."

She also knew that she probably wouldn't be able to get anything out of him today. Although Hua Ling had not yet been cleared of suspicion, An Xinyao couldn't force her to speak.

She is a police officer now, so some methods cannot be used and she can only follow the formal procedures.

Just as An Xinyao and Ji Jie were about to leave, a woman suddenly pushed open the door of the reception room.

She didn't even look at the others, and sat directly on the armrest of the sofa next to Lin Min: "Is it worth making such a big deal about such a trivial matter? And you came to the company to bully my Lin Min?"

"What interesting things are you talking about? Let me hear it too."

＊

Two flowers bloom, each showing its own beauty.

Oliver Pei opened the recorder and put it aside: "What were you doing from 3 to 4:30 this morning?"

"Sleep," Gao Yun straightened her sitting posture and tried to cheer herself up, "Jingjing and I went back to our rooms to sleep at nine o'clock yesterday, and I slept until nine this morning."

"I woke up and found a lot of missed calls on my phone. Then I knew something happened to Jingjing."

Oliver Pei frowned: "Does Miss Gao always sleep so deeply?"

"As far as I know, agents usually don't set their phones to silent mode. And when the police knocked on her door at 7am this morning, Ms. Gao didn't open it. Ms. Gao's sleep quality is really too good."

Due to the special nature of Liyun Community, the property management will not cooperate without a search warrant even with relevant documents. And considering the security strength here, breaking in will not work.

---Before coming, Shen Zheng specifically asked for a search warrant, but he didn't expect to meet Gao Yun on the way and didn't use it at all.

At the same time, this is also the reason why Gao Yun was not called to the police station for investigation: the police officers who could not enter Room 2201 had no idea that there was another person in the room.

"Maybe I didn't get enough rest recently and I was too tired, so I slept deeply." Gao Yun's tone was uncertain, "To be honest, I don't know what's going on."

"As for silencing my phone, it's for Jingjing. Because of depression-induced neurasthenia, she can only sleep for a while every day by taking sleeping pills, so I will try to keep the house quiet."

"Is it possible that Dong Jing gave you sleeping pills?" Shen Zheng's voice came suddenly.

He had just made a rough inspection of the house and asked this question after hearing Gao Yun's words.

"After all, this kind of deep sleep is no longer normal."

Gao Yun didn't answer, but her expression became increasingly ugly, and she obviously remembered something.

"Jingjing heated a cup of milk for me last night," Gao Yun said, "and I went to bed not long after I drank it."

Shen Zheng nodded and asked, "Didn't Dong Jing drink?"

"I don't know. She said she drank. Jingjing was very calm yesterday, so I didn't pay much attention to it."

Gao Yun bit her lip and said, "I was really worried about Jingjing yesterday. The movie role she had been striving for was rejected, and the director personally called her to tell her."

"No matter what people say online or what kind of persona the company team has given her, in my eyes, Jingjing is a gentle, polite, hardworking idol. She has been in a semi-hidden state recently, and I am afraid that this phone call will be the last straw that breaks the camel's back."

"But she was very calm," Gao Yun's eyes were a little empty, as if she had fallen into her own memories, "as if she had let it go all of a sudden, and even comforted me, saying that she had decided to quit the entertainment industry and go home to live her own life."

"I have been with Jingjing for five years. I can tell whether she is telling the truth or not. She is serious, so she definitely cannot be committing suicide!"

Gao Yun was a little excited, Oliver Pei poured her a glass of water: "Okay, we understand this, we will definitely work hard to find out the truth."

When she spoke, her eyes looked slightly to the lower left to represent her memories. The expressions of sadness and excitement in her narration were also very real. Oliver Pei had considered in his mind that Gao Yun was indeed unaware of Dong Jing's death, and she firmly believed that this case was a homicide.

In just a moment, Shen Zheng came back with a glass: "Is this it?"

"Yes," Gao Yun nodded, "Jingjing and I were chatting yesterday, and I just left the cup there."

There is still a little white liquid left in the glass. Whether Dong Jing is lying or not can be known by testing the milk in the glass.

Both Shen Zheng and Oliver Pei felt that there was something wrong with the glass of milk, which indirectly increased the possibility of Dong Jing committing suicide.

However, Oliver Pei had no intention of provoking Gao Yun any further in this regard. He changed the subject naturally: "Let's talk about Lin Min and Hua Ling."

"If I'm not mistaken, Lin Min and Dong Jing started dating during the recording of "Crime Scene"."

Gao Yun suddenly raised her head and looked at him with a look of disbelief. Shen Zheng, on the other hand, looked unmoved and sat on the sofa watching Oliver Pei's performance with great interest.

---He finally discovered the source of the uncomfortable feeling Oliver Pei brought to him.

It's those eyes.

No matter how nicely Oliver Pei spoke or how softly his tone was, when the listener couldn't see him, his lake blue eyes would become emotionless.

Like a gentle lake that has shed all its disguises, revealing a layer of solid ice underneath.

As a cold-hearted psychologist, Shen Zheng suddenly became extremely curious about Oliver Pei.

While Shen Zheng was distracted, Oliver Pei and Gao Yun were still talking.

"Don't forget my job," Oliver Pei smiled and turned off the recorder in front of Gao Yun, "I won't tell anyone about it."

Oliver Pei was born with a harmless appearance, and he agreed just right, making him a natural listener. At this time, he avoided Gao Yun's biggest vulnerability, and the other party really cooperated and said, "Yes, they dated for a while."

Gao Yun drank the water in front of her in one gulp and forced herself to be calm and rational.

"Two months, they broke up before the last show aired."

"Because...?"

"We have different personalities. Jingjing broke up with him because she said Lin Min was different from what she imagined," Gao Yun's dislike for Lin Min was obvious. "There are so many secret relationships in this circle that have broken up and reunited, but only Lin Min kept biting Jingjing like a mad dog and throwing buckets of dirty water at her. His eating habits are really ugly."

Lin Min's behavior was indeed not authentic, and Oliver Pei expressed his understanding: "What about Hua Ling? She said she had visited Dong Jing here early this morning."

"Birds of a feather, how can they be good people?" Gao Yun laughed. "It's a great achievement for her to be able to come here. As for whether she has been here before, I really don't know. You can check the entry and exit records. Liyun Community is very strict in this regard."

Oliver Pei wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the sudden ringing of his cell phone.

Shen Zheng picked up the phone, and An Xinyao's crisp voice came through the microphone clearly---

"Boss, important information! Lin Min is actually two-timing!"
