I'm a policeman! Why do I have all the skills of a king?

Chapter 90 The Property Manager's Lies
Inside the property management office of Jiangnan Garden, sunlight shines through the window lattice onto Manager Zhou’s naive face.

He personally practiced tea art and chose the Zhengshan Xiaozhong tea that his friend brought back from Fujian.

After carefully scalding the cup, washing the tea and brewing the tea, a cup of amber-colored hot tea appears in the exquisite porcelain cup.

He held the teacup in both hands and handed it to Liang Yu with a smile.

"The weather is cold, drink some black tea to warm your stomach. This tea has a mellow and rich taste. You may want to try it."

Liang Yu nodded in thanks but did not touch the cup of tea.

Due to professional habit, he seldom drinks outside.

Even in broad daylight, no one dared to frame the leader of the serious crime squad.

However, we still adhere to the principle of not having the intention to harm others but always being on guard against others, and remain vigilant at all times.

"Don't bother. I came here just to find out more about the situation."

"Okay, go ahead and tell me everything I know and I will actively cooperate with the police."

Manager Zhou had a smile on his face and his attitude was extremely sincere.

"Okay, I'll tell you straight away, but the questions that follow are just routine. Don't think too much about it."

For a criminal police officer, time is precious.

Especially when the murder case is unsolved, the murderer may commit another crime at any time.

Liang Yu didn't want any more innocent lives to be harmed, and he didn't want to waste time.

But he knew that the following questions might make the other party feel uneasy or even resist.

Therefore, making a statement in advance and preparing the other party psychologically will also make communication between the two parties more efficient.

"I understand. You can say whatever you want."

Manager Zhou was easy-going and didn't seem to mind.

He thought the police were still looking for him to find out about the surveillance situation.

But Liang Yu's next question made his heart tremble, and the gentle smile froze on his face in an instant.

"I heard that you and Zhao Libo had a conflict, and that you had an argument a month ago, and even got physical?"

Liang Yu's eyes were as sharp as torches, staring directly at the changes in Manager Zhou's expression.

Seeing his panic-stricken, speechless look, a trace of doubt arose in my heart.

"It happened, but it wasn't as serious as it's being said."

After wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Manager Zhou forced himself to remain calm and responded stutteringly.

"Oh? Can you tell me more specifically?" Liang Yu asked in a playful tone.

"Hey, it's our fault. His family had clearly paid the property management fee, but we remembered it wrongly, so we went to his house to collect the fee. Zhao Libo was not happy about it and said a few unpleasant words, and then we started arguing."

Manager Zhou scratched his head in shame and added:

"The fault was actually ours, but his words were so harsh that I couldn't hold back."

"Oh, I see?!"

After hearing this, Liang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, tapped the table rhythmically with his fingers, and his doubts grew even more.

"Who did you go with to collect the property fees?"

"That time, it was just me."

It’s interesting. This is the first time I heard of a property manager personally collecting property fees.

Moreover, in high-end communities like Jiangnan Garden, the owners are either rich or noble, and they will surely not be short of that little bit of property fees.

But according to Manager Zhou, it seems that many owners are in arrears with property management fees, so much so that they can be mistaken or mixed up.

Liang Yu concluded that the other party was lying, but he did not expose it on the spot. Instead, he changed the subject:
"Where were you on the night of the shooting?"

"I was at home that night, my wife can testify, and my neighborhood also has surveillance cameras, you can watch the video. After receiving the call about the accident, I rushed over as soon as possible."

Manager Zhou stared at me, and his voice rose eight octaves. He pointed to the sky, looking very confident.

It seems that if Liang Yu identified him as the murderer, he would want to bang his head against the ground and die to prove his injustice.

"Don't get excited. I said it was just a routine inquiry."

Liang Yu stretched out his hand and clapped his hands twice in the air, trying to calm the other person down.

He could see that Manager Zhou was not lying this time.

Otherwise, with such superb acting skills, it would be a waste if he didn't become an actor.

"Leaders, government, this is a matter of life and death. You must believe me. I will not kill someone just because of a few words!"

Manager Zhou was still beating his chest and stamping his feet, explaining non-stop.

Looking at the spit at the corner of his mouth, Liang Yu pointed at the fragrant teacup and smiled and comforted him:
"Relax, if I doubted you, I wouldn't be here to drink tea."

Manager Zhou was stunned when he heard this, and then he reacted and smiled awkwardly:
"Don't worry, leader. I am absolutely a law-abiding citizen and will not cause trouble for the government."

"Okay, thank you for your cooperation. I will go back first. Please stay."

Having asked almost all the questions, Liang Yu stood up and said goodbye.

Manager Zhou bowed and nodded as he saw him out the door. Only after he saw him get into the car did he slowly exhale a breath and lick his dry lips with lingering fear.

Liang Yu in the car frowned, and at this moment he had ruled out the possibility that Manager Zhou committed the crime.

But he couldn't figure out what the other party was hiding, so he decided to continue investigating and not miss any clues.

In the VIP ward of the provincial hospital, Wang Qiang gradually regained consciousness from his coma.

Through the white curtains, a ray of sunlight softly fell on his face, adding a bit of warmth to his pale complexion.

He slowly opened his eyes, and what came into view was Lao Chen's slightly haggard face.

Looking further away, on the windowsill, a bunch of gorgeous violets exudes a faint fragrance.

Intertwined with the smell of disinfectant filling the ward, it creates the unique atmosphere of the hospital.

The instruments around him made regular beeping sounds, like a metronome of life, constantly reminding him that he had experienced a battle with death.

"Awake?!"

Noticing that Wang Qiang had woken up, Lao Chen asked with concern.

"Yeah." Wang Qiang responded softly.

He turned his heavy eyes and stared at Lao Chen, feeling mixed emotions and a myriad of feelings.

After thinking for a long time, he said weakly but firmly: "Old Chen, I never thought I could see the sun again. It's great to see you again."

When Old Chen heard this, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

He placed his big, broad hand gently on Wang Qiang's shoulder, his tone encouraging and teasing.

"What depressing words are you talking about? You are an indestructible cockroach. Besides, you will be blessed in the future if you survive a disaster. So enjoy your wonderful life in the future."

After hearing this, Wang Qiang couldn't help but smile with relief.

Then he became nervous again, as if he suddenly thought of something.

"How are Xiaoyu and the others? Did we complete our mission? Was it the large force that saved me?"

At this moment, Wang Qiang turned into a curious baby.

Faced with a series of questions, Lao Chen was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"The mission is successfully completed. Everyone is fine. Don't worry about anything. Just focus on recovering and try to return to the team as soon as possible."

"Okay, okay, that's good."

Wang Qiang finally put his worries to rest and soon fell into a deep sleep again.
