Mu Qianqian’s hands slipped, and she almost stopped her car in the middle of the road. She looked at Qin Feng, who had a serious expression on his face, and asked, “Did I hear that correctly? You’re only trying your luck?”

“Yes.”

Qin Feng did not deny it. He nodded at Mu Qianqian. At the same time, he also explained to Mu Qianqian the reason for returning to the Imperial Wind Pavilion. “I’ve thought long and hard about it. The murderer chose to commit the murder at the Imperial Wind Pavilion. This is definitely not a random decision. Think about it, he could’ve went with any other low-profile spots. Therefore, I feel that the murderer must have some sort of connection to the Imperial Wind Pavilion. The murderer’s modus operandi required a lot of time to experiment, so he would definitely choose a place that he was very familiar with. Because by knowing the place well enough, he would be able to deal with any unexpected situations that might arise. As such, I believe that the key to solving this case lies in the Imperial Wind Pavilion. I want to try my luck, so that I can chance upon other clues.”

After listening to Qin Feng’s analysis, Mu Qianqian pondered for a moment before responding, “So you suspect that the murderer is either a regular or a staff member of the Imperial Wind Pavilion? These are the only two types of people who would be familiar with the restaurant, right?”

“Yes, that’s why I want to take a look again.”

Qin Feng nodded. However, upon recalling the face of the person he saw in the system, Qin Feng felt that there was a higher probability of the murderer being a regular rather than the staff members. After all, the person’s face exuded wealth, a level of wealth that did not quite match the capabilities of a staff member.

Her excitement renewed, Mu Qianqian put the pedal to the medal, and before long, they had arrived at the Imperial Wind Pavilion.

Mu Qianqian and Qin Feng did not give their keys to the valets this time. After all, they were police officers on official business.

Although a murder case had occurred, the Imperial Wind Pavilion was still open to the public as usual because the particulars of the case had not yet been determined.

However, due to a person’s death, there were not much customers in the establishment either. Some considered it to be taboo, after all.

Mu Qianqian and Qin Feng had just walked to the door when Wang Qing, whom they had met last time, came up to them and asked, “You’re back! Is there any progress on the case? Is there anything I can help you with?”

‘It’s him!’

Qin Feng was about to answer Wang Qing when his eyes suddenly locked onto a certain man.

He was the murderer that Qin Feng spotted in the reconstructed scene that day!

“Manager Wang, who was that person who just left?”

Qin Feng did not answer Wang Qing’s question, but asked her a different question instead.

After all, Qin Feng spotted Wang Qing nodding her head at the man, and thus, he assumed that she was aware of the man’s identity.

“Him? He is our boss, Wen Jiaxiang. Officer Qin, are you looking for him?”

“Your boss? That person is your boss, Wen Jiaxiang?”

Qin Feng was stunned. He had assumed the murderer to be a frequent customer of the Imperial Wind Pavilion, but never would he had thought that the murderer was actually the owner of the Imperial Wind Pavilion!

Qin Feng had known long ago that the owner of the Imperial Wind Pavilion was called Wen Jiaxiang. His net worth was over tens of millions of yuan, and he was a well-rounded person who was highly praised by the business world. It was just that Qin Feng had never saw his face before. In addition, he had never thought that such a rich man with a net worth of tens of millions would kill a small reporter, so he did not place any suspicions on him.

‘There’s such a huge wealth gap between the two of them, what in the world happened? Why would a person worth of tens of millions decide to become murderer?’

Qin Feng thought in his heart and suddenly remembered what the murderer said that day. ‘ “A threat”? What kind of evidence did Chi Feng possess that would make Wen Jiaxiang feel threatened and even go as far as to kill him?’

Wen Jiaxiang was the boss of the Imperial Wind Pavilion. He was very familiar with the layout of the Imperial Wind Pavilion and knew the equipment here like the back of his hand. It was not difficult for him to avoid the surveillance cameras, and thus, it was truly a domain where he could take full advantage of.

“Manager Wang, can you please call your boss over? We need his help with the investigation.”
