It really verified the words of Qu Qing's colleagues in the police station: early in the morning when Ling Lan got into Gu Hanhao's car, she was muttering to herself: it really looks like Gu Hanhao's personal assistant, whether going to or getting off work, she is almost always with him.

  Gu Lin and the others arrived at the police station at 8 o'clock in the morning. As soon as they entered Gu Hanhao's office, Gu Hanhao made a silencing gesture to Ling Lan, then started making a phone call.

  Ling Lan listened quietly, not expecting that Gu Han Hao was making a call to the deputy director of S City's Public Security Bureau. For the first time, Ling Lan heard Gu Han Hao speak in a relatively humble tone, but as he continued speaking, he became arrogant again.

  "What? Yan Lixing wants to close the case?" Gu Hanhao knocked on the table, "Director Luo, listen to me, this case still has many doubts, there are some clues that Yan Lixing doesn't know..."

  Very well, Gu Hanhao hung up the phone.

  "What now?" Ling Lan asked.

  "Wait." Gu Hanhao was deep in thought, leaning back on the swivel chair, one hand quickly rotating a neutral pen.

  Ling Lan was puzzled, "What are you waiting for? If we wait any longer, Yan Li will have closed the case! Didn't Luo Ju just reject you?"

  Gu Hanhao put down the pen in his hand, "Refusal is refusal, but he will still say something from it. I think, within an hour, Yan Lixing will take the initiative to call me. To be honest with you, my backstage is quite hard."

  Ling Lan absolutely believed that Gu Hanyu had a powerful backer, otherwise how could he become the captain at such a young age and develop a personality that was somewhat arrogant and unruly in both speech and action, even Yan Liangqiu felt envious, jealous and resentful of him.

  But the result proved that Gu Hanhao was wrong. An hour later, Yan Lixing did not call. However, although Yan Lixing's phone didn't come, his subordinates came, bringing their investigation results to report to Gu Hanhao, and more importantly, they also brought the suspect they arrested - Qian Yu, the general manager of Zhi Sheng Company.

  In the conference room, one of Yan Lixing's subordinates reported their investigation results to Gu Hanyao. Not only was Gu Hanyao surprised, but also Yuan Jun, Liu Fan and Ling Lan were all unexpected by the result of this investigation.

  Tsai Wei-chi is actually an industrial spy!

  For more than two years, Cai Weiqi has been jumping from one company to another, working for seven companies in total. Although he was only a small sales team leader and at most held the position of deputy department head, he was extremely popular among his colleagues. Everyone in each company, from the manager to the chairman of the board, and even the security guard, treated him like one of their own. He also had ambiguous relationships with many female colleagues. However, what's most important is that almost all the companies he worked for had commercial secrets leaked, resulting in significant losses. This was discovered by the boss of Zhisheng Company, Qian Yu, who hired a private investigator to look into Cai Weiqi's background. Previously, Cai Weiqi had used fake identities and resumes, so when he joined Zhisheng four months ago, Qian Yu didn't suspect him at all until recently, when a new environmentally friendly material developed by Zhisheng was suddenly launched by other companies in the same industry. It wasn't until then that Qian Yu began to suspect that there was a mole within the company, and after investigating, they found evidence pointing to Cai Weiqi.

  Zhisheng Company had originally hoped that this new R&D achievement would turn things around, but now it seems that the company is lucky if it doesn't go bankrupt. Qian Yu's life's work has been ruined by Cai Weiqi, a despicable person who has even admitted to having a killer mentality.

  "Has Nai Yu confessed?" Gu Hanhao asked the subordinate sent by Yan Lixing.

  "There isn't, but he had motive. He appeared again in the surveillance footage of the building on the night of the incident. The elevator surveillance only showed him going up, but not coming down, which is very suspicious. Now this case has been officially handed over to you, Captain Gu. Yan told me to thank you for being willing to help him out, and he will remember this favor."

  Gu Hanhao smiled and sent two of Yan Lixing's men away, then came back and said with a sigh, "It seems that the feud with Yan Lixing has been formed."

  Yuan Jun jumped up and asked, "Captain Gu, is Qian Yu still in the interrogation room? Are you interrogating him now?"

  Gu Hanhao stood up and handed two slips of paper to Liu Fan, "Liu Fan, send someone to bring Cai Weiqi's wife Tu Jingjing and mistress Huang Shan here. This is the address and phone number. Yuan Jun, you come with me to interrogate Qian Yu."

  Ling Lan quietly followed behind Gu Hanhao and Yuan Jun, the two in front entered the interrogation room, she obediently entered the monitoring room next door.

  In the interrogation room, Qian Yu had a dark face as he stared at the two detectives opposite him. He looked to be in his forties, with a sharp and capable appearance, but his eyes were sunken, his hair was disheveled, and his hands kept rubbing together restlessly.

  Before Gu Hanhao and the others could ask any questions, Qian Yu spoke up, "I admit I did say something about killing that kid, but I really didn't do it. When I went to his house, he was still fine!"

  "The surveillance video shows that you entered the building at 6 pm, but there is no record of you leaving. How do you explain this?" Yuan Jun asked coldly while quickly flipping through the confession materials handed over by Yan Lixing's subordinate.

  "I've said it many times, I left his house around 6:30, I didn't take the elevator, but took the stairs. The surveillance camera didn't see me because after going down the stairs, I directly exited from the safe exit at the back of the first floor!"

  "Gu Hanhao was relentless, 'Why did you take the elevator up but walked down the stairs? Weren't you trying to avoid the surveillance cameras? In that case, no one would know what time you left.'"

  Qian Yu was so anxious that he scratched his head, "Is walking on the stairs also against the law?"

  Gu Hanhao and Yuan Jun did not speak, but instead used their sharp gazes to press him together.

  "Alright, I'll say it. I didn't tell the detectives in Fujian District this, but I don't know why Jingjiang District suddenly took over the case. At least it's a turning point for me." Qian Yu was clearly struggling psychologically, rubbing his temples, "The reason I went to the stairs is because...I wanted to commit suicide."

  Gu Hanhao and Yuan Jun exchanged a glance, even Ling Lan in another room was stunned for a moment, this reason was really too unexpected.

  Qian Yu looked down, somewhat embarrassed, "Zhisheng is something I created with my own hands. I put all my heart and soul into it. Since college, I have been determined to contribute to the environmental protection industry. I didn't do environmental protection just for profit, but also for my ideals. I even neglected my family for this career, which led to a broken home. But things didn't go as planned. My company has been declining over the past few years until this new product development plan. I poured all my remaining experience and funds into this new product. As long as it can be listed on the market, I am confident that it will be a huge success. However, the credit for this achievement went to someone else."

  To be honest, I went to find Cai Weiqi with a fruit knife that day. I really wanted to end him with one knife and die together with him. But at the last moment, I didn't do it, I couldn't bring myself to do it. I thought what's the point of living like this? I walked to the stairwell in a daze, opened the window on the 11th floor, originally wanted to jump down and end everything, but...but...I'm such a coward after all!

  "Now that you've given up on jumping off the building, why don't you go back and take the elevator?" Gu Hanhao's tone softened.

  Qian Yu covered his face and replied in a muffled tone, "If I didn't say that I'm a coward, I wouldn't dare to kill anyone, nor would I dare to jump off the building. And...and I cried! As a grown man, how could I cry while taking the elevator? So I walked down from the 11th floor alone, crying all the way. When I reached the first floor, I saw that there were many people in the lobby. The exit of the stairwell was just near the back door of the building, so I left through there."

  Gu Hanhao felt a few more points of sympathy for Qian Yu, these words seemed to have no loopholes, and looking at his now embarrassed appearance didn't seem like he was acting either.
