Chapter 745 - 688 Brainstorming
Jiang Yuan’s dinners were always sumptuous, and as mealtime approached, Li Haochen, Cui Xiaohu, Liu Cheng, and Cui Qishan, among others, would show up uninvited.
This group of criminal investigators was essentially the main force in the "Rainy Corpse Case." Those who didn’t come, like Tao Lu and Huang Qiangmin, were mostly concerned with administrative roles, taking the lead in meetings but waiting for news when it came to actual work.
As usual, Jiang Yuan provided a variety of beers, while the chefs went all out preparing over a dozen appetizers for everyone to enjoy while chatting.
Since the house was newly reacquired and Jiang Yuan hadn’t had time to renovate, he had bought a large round table that could seat more than a dozen people in advance. At this moment, everyone had replaced the chairs with arms with small round stools, and after a bit of squeezing, they all found a seat.
The conversation quickly turned to the case at hand.
Li Haochen, who had been preparing for a while, started, "I asked Tao about the latest progress, and the current suspect, He Wei, also has financial issues. He’s taken out a lot of loans, and even mortgaged his villa a second time. If the banks pressure him to repay now, even selling his villa wouldn’t cover it."
"Someone living in a villa has financial problems?" Mu Zhiyang put down his chopsticks while pairing beer with meat and asked, "Where did all his money go?"
"His wife probably asked the same thing," Xiao Si commented leisurely while sipping his beer.
"Mainly prostitution," Li Haochen said. "He liked to visit prostitutes even before the divorce, and after it, he became even more unrestrained. Combined with the division of assets from the divorce and a downturn in his business, his expenses are now exceeding his income."
Xiao Si nodded, "His wife surely inquired about it."
