Chapter 125 Wang Li's Unavoidable Cooperation

As for whether this William was actually a suspect, a 100% definitive answer couldn't be given just yet.

However, knowing that this person was highly suspicious was enough.

"What we need to do now is confirm that this William knows Sun Aiguo's assistant!"

"Once it's confirmed they know each other, many questions will be settled."

Hearing this, everyone took a few deep breaths to calm their surging emotions for the moment.

How could they confirm a connection between these two?

This was actually extremely difficult!

If this William were in Xinghan right now...

...then they would only need to track his movements and see if he met with Wang Li.

But three years had passed; trying to confirm this now was undoubtedly a pipe dream.

"Foreigners have to report their itineraries when entering or leaving the country."

Liu Fengxia suddenly interjected. As a tourist city, Luocheng saw no small number of foreign visitors.

Therefore, she had some understanding of the work done by the immigration office.

"Is that so?"

"If that's the case, we can follow that lead and check."

Long Hao said, looking toward Sun Yi.

The latter nodded and turned her head to make a call.

"Chen Mo, I don't think the itinerary records reported to immigration can provide evidence of William and Wang Li knowing each other."

Liu Fengxia looked pensive as she analyzed the current situation.

If William really was summoned from abroad by Wang Li to commit murder...

...then for the sake of safety...

...he definitely wouldn't have met with him, to avoid any accidents or drawing suspicion to himself!

This was the logical way any normal person would think.

"I agree with what you're saying."

Chen Mo nodded, having considered this as well.

But actually, they didn't need to be too pessimistic about it.

Since it was confirmed that there was something wrong with the timing of William's departure...

...then the fact that his itinerary after entry didn't involve Wang Li...

...to some extent, actually adds another layer of suspicion, doesn't it?

"That makes sense."

Liu Fengxia nodded in agreement.

Now they just had to wait for the results from Sun Yi's side.

Time passed minute by minute.

About ten minutes later.

They obtained the complete record of William's itinerary after entering the country.

"This William entered Xinghan on the 10th. On the first day, he rented a room at a guesthouse, and after that, he went to a park. It's unclear if he had contact with anyone during that time."

"In the following days, he changed his place of residence to Xinghan Road. As far as I know, that hotel is very close to Cui Shengli's mansion."

"And that hotel's marketing slogan is 'Stay at the Xinghan Grand Hotel, view the Shengli Mansion'."

Sun Yi finished speaking and waited for everyone to digest the information.

Liu Fengxia was the first to speak: "Viewing Cui Shengli's home is essentially something only our fellow Dragon Country people would be interested in. Very few foreigners visiting for the first time would be interested in him."

"I don't think staying at the Xinghan Grand Hotel was a coincidence. Considering William's purpose was murder, his behavior was likely scouting the location in advance."

After she finished speaking, Chen Mo took the lead in expressing his agreement.

This was currently the most logical conclusion.

At this point, Long Hao also added: "The first guesthouse William stayed at was on Sandi Road, which is the area with the most scenic spots. After that, he moved to Xinghan Road, more than twenty kilometers away."

"It's obvious this person wasn't here for tourism, but had a different purpose."

Analyzing the situation up to this point, more and more suspicious points were appearing regarding William's itinerary.

Correspondingly, his suspicion grew greater and greater.

"In that case, let's head out!"

Long Hao waved his hand.

...

Downstairs at the Heart's Choice Supermarket Headquarters Co., Ltd.

Before coming, they had called Wang Li.

They gave him two choices: first, they could go straight to his office to find him; second, he could come down himself and find a place to talk.

The other party seemed afraid of a bad impression and chose to find a place for the talk.

"Chen Mo, thanks for the hard work!"

Among the group, only Chen Mo possessed the ability to detect lies.

Therefore, he was the best choice to conduct the conversation.

"It's fine."

Chen Mo pulled open the van door and stepped out.

Right at that moment, a burly, middle-aged man with a shaved head and sunglasses walked out.

He was spinning his phone between his thumb and index finger.

He had a bit of a thuggish air about him.

"Officer, just how powerful is Cui Shengli? He's been fucking dead for three years, and you guys still won't let it go!"

His first words upon meeting were a helpless complaint.

"Watch your language in front of me."

Chen Mo frowned and issued a warning.

He then gestured toward the nearby coffee shop.

"Hehe, I'm not very educated. If you don't like my style of speaking, Officer, let's just keep it brief."

He didn't want to go to a coffee shop.

A rough man like him wasn't used to drinking that.

"Don't like drinking it?"

"What if I insist that you do?"

It wasn't that Wang Li was unwilling to drink it, but rather that he didn't want to cooperate.

These were all excuses to avoid having too much contact with them.

Chen Mo appropriately displayed a tough attitude.

People like this were like that—the more timid you were, the more arrogant they became.

If you got tough, they would immediately back down.

"What, Officer? You're not thinking of hitting someone in broad daylight, are you?"

As he spoke, he looked at the passing crowds with a smile, as if to say, 'Look, there are people everywhere.'

"William."

Chen Mo spoke those two syllables calmly.

Then he walked straight toward the coffee shop.

Hearing the name, Wang Li's expression darkened instantly before he immediately reverted to his normal state behind Chen Mo.

"What was that? I didn't hear you clearly."

He spoke as he followed Chen Mo into the coffee shop.

Chen Mo found a quiet corner to sit and ordered a coffee at random.

"Didn't hear clearly? Then I'll repeat it for you: Smith, William!"

Having gone through it once already, Wang Li's reaction this time wasn't as pronounced.

"Such a long name. Sounds like a foreigner."

Wang Li replied casually, then snapped his fingers and ordered a coffee from the waiter as well.

Looking at him like this...

...Chen Mo shook his head. This man was clearly the type with thick nerves who didn't lie often.

Just a single name had been enough to fluster him.

"He is a foreigner, and he should be a friend of yours."

Chen Mo said casually.

Hearing this, the hand Wang Li used to lift his coffee trembled, despite his steady expression.

"How come I don't remember having such a friend?"

"Officer, you must have the wrong person."

He replied with a flat expression, feigning composure.

But in Chen Mo's eyes, his Micro-expressions were all characteristic of lying.

"If your name is Wang Li, then I haven't found the wrong person."

Chen Mo's reaction was even calmer than his.

Now that it was confirmed the two knew each other, the suspicion of William being the killer was very high.

"There are plenty of people with the same name."

He still wanted to explain, but Chen Mo didn't want to keep going in circles with him.

It was meaningless.

"William was likely someone you met when you were a mercenary abroad."

When these words were spoken, for Wang Li, it was no different from having a nuclear bomb stuffed into his mouth.
