Chapter 1221: Chapter 1236: Together with the Chief Police Officer
"Boss, could it be that some forces have arranged for someone to do this in advance?" Gray Wolf asked.
"I can’t rule out that possibility, but we definitely have a mole inside, these things are hard to pull off without someone on the inside," Lin Mu said.
"So how do we investigate?" Gray Wolf asked.
"At this moment, there’s no better method to investigate; the only clue is broken. We can only watch their next move. Anyway, they will reveal themselves sooner or later," Lin Mu said, exhaling smoke.
"Boss, we failed our duty in this matter."
"It’s not the time to talk about this now. The most important thing is to arrange the security issues for the future. I don’t want such events to happen again. It’s a very damaging matter for us," Lin Mu said.
"Understood, we’ll keep a closer watch in the future," Gray Wolf and Golden Wolf nodded.
"Alright, let’s leave it at that for now. Inform me immediately if anything happens. Not only should the security be strengthened, but also pay attention to those personnel with unusual behaviors inside," Lin Mu instructed.
After making arrangements, Lin Mu left the Foot Bath Pavilion, which temporarily closed for business. Lin Mu still couldn’t figure out why the opponent killed Ah Qiao, but he knew it wasn’t deliberate, Ah Qiao just had bad luck.
Returning to the Lin Family Mansion, it was already late. Qi Manlin was sitting alone on the sofa watching TV. Luckily, it wasn’t a Korean drama this time but a Qing Palace drama!
Oh? Lin Mu was greatly surprised, could it be that the Chief Police Officer wanted to learn concubine court battle experiences from the TV? But it seems Lin Mu’s few beloved concubines have never had jealousy issues?
Lin Mu entered, glanced at the Chief Police Officer, who didn’t have her usual playful smile, and asked, "Why aren’t you asleep yet, police officer sister?"
"Slept a little, wasn’t I a bit worried about you? So I’m waiting for you to come back. By the way, how is the investigation going?" Qi Manlin asked.
"Not a single clue, Ah Qiao died, and the only clue is gone. I bet this isn’t as simple as you think," Lin Mu said.
"Who could be behind this trouble for you?" Qi Manlin also felt odd, who could be the person hidden in the shadows?
"I can’t figure it out either, and this person is even an insider at the Foot Bath Pavilion; otherwise, they wouldn’t have gotten to Ah Qiao so easily," Lin Mu felt puzzled too, the only thing he was certain of was there was a mole, because ever since an escort at the Foot Bath Pavilion got her face slashed, he built a dormitory building in the backyard, almost like a three-star hotel in standards, and the security measures were great, outsiders cannot easily enter, just to ensure the girls’ safety.
And now Ah Qiao suddenly died silently, obviously, besides a mole, it’s impossible to kill someone so quietly.
"A mole? Then who are you suspicious of?" Qi Manlin asked.
"I really can’t think of who, no idea who possesses such methods," Lin Mu shook his head, this is indeed hard to imagine, not even having a suspect, gotta say, this person is hidden too damn well.
Qi Manlin pondered for a while and said, "I’m not sure if I should say this or not."
"Go ahead, there shouldn’t be anything you can’t say to me," Lin Mu said.
"Do you think it might be Fangzi or Mei Niang?" Qi Manlin looked at Lin Mu and asked.
"Them? Why?" Lin Mu asked, never thought about those two.
"This matter happened after you came back from Zhengzhou; before you returned, nothing had happened, and when you came back, you only brought two outsiders, one is Mei Niang, the other is Fangzi, and only those two are outsiders," Qi Manlin said.
Lin Mu pondered for a while, shook his head, "Impossible, Fangzi is an Easterner, but she’s very kind-hearted and has helped Gray Wolf many times. Mei Niang was once Jinye’s lover, but Jinye almost killed her, even more impossible. These two are Gray Wolf’s true loves, I can see it, these two girls are quite infatuated with Gray Wolf, wholeheartedly wanting to be with Gray Wolf. It shouldn’t be them, besides, Fangzi and Mei Niang both don’t know kung-fu, without kung-fu, it’s hard to accomplish such things."
"What if they are pretending?" Qi Manlin asked again.
"Can’t be pretended, sometimes you may misjudge people, but telling if someone knows kung-fu, I have confidence, not a hundred percent sure, but ninety-nine is." Lin Mu said.
"This is just my perspective, and the only reasonable explanation I can offer, so keep an eye out, of course it might not be them, or maybe it’s one of them," Qi Manlin said.
Lin Mu nodded, "I know, if there’s anything unusual, Gray Wolf will inform me. Anyway, without evidence, can’t approach them, it’s not good."
Qi Manlin nodded, "That’s true, well, I’m really tired, going to the room to sleep now."
"Hey, let me join you," Lin Mu grinned.
"You can sleep together, but no funny business, I’m too tired," Qi Manlin said.
"Sure, alright." Lin Mu agreed readily, cuddling with the Chief Police Officer at night is surely a pleasure, even without messing around.
Lin Mu cuddled Qi Manlin and went to her room together. It seems the Chief Police Officer was genuinely tired, she quickly fell asleep after lying on the bed, and Lin Mu couldn’t bear to disturb her, so he cuddled up and fell asleep too.
At this time, the few women had long arranged rotations for weekly breakfast and chores, so they always got along well.
Downstairs, Lin Mu had a comfortable breakfast, then the women went to their respective companies for their own affairs.
The Chief Police Officer also went to the police station, Lin Mu needed to investigate this case too.
After all, Ah Qiao’s incident was linked to a homicide case.
"Xiaoxiao, why aren’t you going to school yet?" Lin Mu looked at Xiong Xiaoxiao and asked.
"Brother Lin, today is Saturday, no school," Xiong Xiaoxiao said.
"Oh, alright." Lin Mu nodded.
"Brother Lin, I have something to ask you," Xiong Xiaoxiao approached with a giggle.
"What’s it?" Lin Mu asked.
"Are you dating Teacher An?" Xiong Xiaoxiao laughed.
"Little child, don’t meddle in these things."
"Brother Lin, don’t forget, I’m still your little girlfriend." Xiong Xiaoxiao pouted.
