“Boss Wen, don’t be angry. It’s just a routine questioning. May I ask where you were last night?”

Qin Feng did not respond to Wen Jiaxiang’s accusations because although it was the duty of every citizen to cooperate with a police investigation, it was not the same case if it were the other way around.

“Well, I have nothing to hide.”

Wen Jiaxiang waved his hand and answered, “I went out of town to look for a location to open up a new branch of the Imperial Wind Pavilion. There are several witnesses who could prove my alibi. What, can’t a man head out of town for more business opportunities? Humph, I’ll have you know that I have a full alibi for yesterday’s case. I have nothing to do with it.”

Wen Jiaxiang was someone who had been in the business world for many years. His sharp instincts immediately made him realize that this young policeman was suspecting him.

“Boss Wen, don’t be angry. I’m just doing my job. Naturally, we will verify the alibi you mentioned. However, I don’t think the perpetrator has to be on the scene to commit the crime, you know?”

Qin Feng remained calm despite Wen Jiaxiang’s attitude. He was still smiling as he spoke those shocking words.

Wen Jiaxiang’s expression changed because of Qin Feng’s words, but it was that of anger. He looked at Qin Feng and snapped, “Officer Qin, I don’t understand what you mean, and I don’t know why you’re suspecting me. If you have evidence, you can take me directly to the police station. If you don’t, then be careful, or else I’ll sue you for slander. I have something else to attend to, take your time questioning Manager Wang.”

Once Wen Jiaxiang had finished speaking, he stood up and walked away. It was obvious that he was very mad with Qin Feng.

“Qin Feng, was your suspicion off? Also, you were too impulsive just now and didn’t have any evidence. No wonder he was angry when you suspected him so much.”

Mu Qianqian watched Wen Jiaxiang’s back as he left and whispered beside Qin Feng.

“No, I’m not wrong. I’m sure that Wen Jiaxiang is the murderer of Chi Feng. He can’t, he won’t escape me.”

Qin Feng said firmly as he watched Wen Jiaxiang’s back fade into the distance.

“What? But that can’t be right. He said that he went to another province last night. Many people can prove it. If he lied about this, his lie would be easily exposed, right?” Mu Qianqian asked in confusion.

“He didn’t lie about it. He must have gone to the other provinces yesterday.”

Qin Feng lowered his head slightly and explained to Mu Qianqian, “But yesterday’s case was a murder disguised as an accident. The murderer didn’t come up with it on the day of the murder. They had planned it in advance. The murderer had already tampered with the chandelier, and so, the so-called alibi can’t prove that he’s not the murderer.”

Mu Qianqian did not say anything else. She carefully considered what Qin Feng said and recalled the details of the case. Before long, a shocked expression gradually appeared on her face.
