Chapter 4196: Chapter 4184: Clues
"Can her salary support such spending?"
"That depends on her personal preferences," the server said:
"We’re saving to buy a house, so we definitely wouldn’t spend like this. Girls might not have these concerns, and spending money when they have it is normal. Besides, women in this industry aren’t typically upright, she might have a wealthy patron."
"Do you know anything else about her?"
"That I don’t know. We’re just servers, we hardly interact with her."
Lin Yi nodded and said:
"Where’s your manager? Is he here? I want to talk to him."
"Master Lin, you sit here first, I’ll go get him."
"Okay."
The male server left and went to the manager’s office on the second floor of CRT.
In the office, a middle-aged man sat with his feet up on the desk, playing a game on his phone.
The middle-aged man was hefty, his shirt stretched tight on his body, clearly a fitness enthusiast.
The man’s name was Ma Dongliang, the manager of CRT Bar.
"Brother Wang, Master Lin is here, he wants to see you."
"Master Lin? Which Master Lin?"
"The famous one in Zhong Hai. Everyone calls him Master Lin when they see him."
"Master Lin, your Lin, do you think I have time for this?"
The male server was startled.
You outsiders really don’t know how influential Master Lin is!
With just one word from him, this bar might vanish!
"But he is quite renowned, and his status is unusual. Maybe it’s worth meeting him."
Ma Dongliang hesitated, thinking it might be worthwhile to connect with someone of status, at least to see what he’s like.
"Alright, I’ll go take a look."
The male server was relieved; if Master Lin were unhappy, CRT wouldn’t last, and he’d have to find a new job.
With the server leading the way, Ma Dongliang went downstairs and saw Lin Yi sitting not far away.
Seeing Ma Dongliang approach, Lin Yi stood up and extended his hand.
Ma Dongliang extended his hand too, and the two shook hands.
"What brings you here?"
"I want to ask about someone."
Lin Yi took out his phone, cutting to the chase:
"Wang Wenli is your DJ, right? I’d like to know about her."
Upon seeing Wang Wenli’s photo, Ma Dongliang’s expression changed unpleasantly.
"We aren’t close, you should inquire elsewhere."
"She’s your DJ, you’re the manager here, and you say you don’t know her?"
"I’ve been here a short time, we only interact for work, so I truly don’t know her."
"But now she’s dead, and your cooperation is needed."
"Dead?!"
Upon hearing this news, Ma Dongliang’s demeanor became uneasy.
"Are you police?"
"Who I am isn’t important, what matters is that you cooperate with me on this work."
"If you’re..."
Creaaak—
Just then, the bar door opened, and a long-haired woman walked in.
Wearing a white blouse and slim jeans, with black ankle boots, she appeared particularly tall.
This woman was the female detective, Wang Shuting.
After entering, Wang Shuting looked around, surprised to find Lin Yi there, she then walked straight over.
"Mr. Lin Yi, you’re here too, investigating Wang Wenli?"
Lin Yi nodded, smiling, and said: "Since you’re here, I’ll leave it to you, I won’t meddle."
"How can this be meddling, your analysis and provided evidence are extremely important and useful for us."
Finishing, Wang Shuting glanced at Ma Dongliang, asking Lin Yi:
"Who is this?"
"His name is Ma Dongliang, CRT’s manager. I just asked, and he said he’s not familiar with Wang Wenli."
"Not familiar?"
Wang Shuting scrutinized Ma Dongliang, first presenting her credentials to show her identity, saying:
"This is a serious criminal case, I hope you will assist us in our investigation and evidence gathering."
Seeing Wang Shuting present her identity, Ma Dongliang looked a bit impatient, saying:
"Come to my office."
"Let’s go."
The three headed to Ma Dongliang’s office together.
"I want to know about Li Wenli’s relationship during work?"
"It was normal, neither good nor bad. She’d finish her work and leave. We never had a deep connection."
"During work, did she have conflicts or quarrels with anyone?"
From the situation, a revenge motive seemed possible, such factors must be considered.
"I haven’t noticed any."
"Not even a little?"
Both Lin Yi and Wang Shuting found Ma Dongliang’s words odd.
In everyday life, no matter who, it’s impossible to live conflict-free. Minor disputes occur; only degrees differ.
Especially in Wang Wenli’s line of work, it’s unlikely she’d be shy or introverted.
"If there had to be something, maybe a few days ago, a customer wanted to pursue her, ordered lots of drinks as a show of interest, but she refused. Heard they argued intensely, but nothing came of it."
"Do you have information on that person?"
"So many people come and go daily, how would we have that?"
Wang Shuting nodded calmly, "You have surveillance here, right? I want to identify that person."
"Follow me, I’ll have the security manager help you."
Ma Dongliang rose, taking the two to the security manager’s office on the second floor.
Inside were a man and a woman, caught in flirtation when they entered.
Seeing Ma Dongliang enter, the security manager stood.
"Manager Ma."
"Wenli’s in trouble. They’re investigating, this is the detective from the precinct."
"What?!"
The security manager and the woman appeared visibly shocked.
"How did Wenli end up in trouble?"
"I don’t know, out of the blue they’re telling me, I can’t quite believe it."
"No wonder I couldn’t reach her these days..." the woman in the short skirt said.
Their expressions were somber, naturally distressed about such a thing happening to an acquaintance.
"Recently, Wang Wenli argued with a customer, check the footage, see if you can find him."
"You think he’s the suspect?" the woman in the skirt said:
"That guy was arrogant, might be him. When leaving he said, don’t let me see you again and other things."
