Chapter 192: Clever Chi Lian
Chi Lian was very confused to see the retired detective jump up so excitedly. Did the police really not look into it? Investigations usually covered large grounds; it was only natural to assume that the police looked into that theory.
"I am bringing my files." Li Tao rushed into a room and returned just as quickly as he left. He returned with a box full of paperwork and he placed it on the floor. One by one he removed the documents and placed them on the table between them. "These are my old files on the case. I photocopied the original documents of the investigation so that I could work the case on my own after retirement. I have friends on the force who keep me upraised on anything new. If what you assume is true, then we should find the people who had grudges against Xie Gunzhing’s father."
"And his grandfather." Piggy reminded him.
"Well, all of it." Li Tao shook his hands in a hurry and check manner.
The group of four started categorizing the documents into suspects who came from families that had any problem with the Xie family.
After two hours of combing through the documents, they had well over twenty suspects, including those who were not in Chi Lian’s file which T4 got by hacking into the police computers.
"This list is too long; we need to find a way to cut it down." Chi Lian said in a frustrated voice. After giving herself two days to finish this mission, she was left with only one day. They needed to move faster.
"Boss, he compensated the families of those people his father wronged. Will it be helpful if we get our hands on that list?" Squirrel asked thoughtfully.
Her head snapped up immediately, "Yes." She responded, "If we can get our hands on that list, then we will be able to remove everyone that was compensated. We need to find someone who wanted more compensation or someone who refused the compensation, and those who were not compensated at all even though they deserved compensation."
