Chapter 1694 Another Disappointment
“There’s nothing wrong with that.”

Meng Jixi looked serious.

"is it?"

The old man narrowed his eyes, "Then I feel relieved."

"Thank you for telling us this."

Although it now seems that what the old man said has nothing to do with the case.

Maybe we won’t find any connection between them later.

However, it might be connected to other clues discovered later.

It played a role in promoting the progress of solving the case.

Nothing can be said for sure now.

The more information the better.

This way the probability of discovering "pearls" will be higher.

"That's all I have to say."

The old man looked somewhat relaxed.

So far, she has told the police everything she could think of about Xiao Li.

“Although it seems to be all irrelevant content.”

Do the elderly feel that they are wasting the time of these young people?
She urged, "Go quickly."

"Look, it's been so long."

"Well, old man, let's go then."

"Thank you for telling us this."

"Goodbye."

After saying goodbye to the old man, several people hurried to Li Wei's company.

Meng Jixi came forward to negotiate with the company's front desk.

Compared to the old man's confusion, the sweet-smiling receptionist immediately recognized Meng Jixi as one of the police officers who had visited the company before.

This made the subsequent communication between the two parties very smooth.

Meng Jixi just said that he suddenly remembered something that he was concerned about and wanted to find Li Wei's colleague to ask about the situation, so the girl at the front desk let them in.

After turning the corner, Chi Xiu Ke stuck out her tongue and said, "I thought it would take a lot of explaining to come in."

Didn't expect it to be so easy.

“It always feels like a good start.”

Meng Jixi opened his mouth.

He swallowed back the words that were intended to hurt the girl.

They are not here to do anything bad, and he is a policeman and has been here before. Isn't it natural for them to come in so easily?
How can this be considered a good start?

However, it would be nice if I could borrow a girl's auspicious words.

He hoped that things would go as smoothly in the future.

……

Unfortunately, wishes are beautiful.

Reality is skinny.

Master Xiao didn't find anything in Li Wei's company.

Thinking of what the old man had just told them, Meng Jixi went to talk to Li Wei's colleagues again.

Hopefully they’ll make new discoveries too.

Unfortunately, Li Wei's colleagues said that they had told the police everything they knew and they had no new information about Li Wei.

……

Walking out of the office building, the bright sunshine pours down.

But after a while, everyone felt a little warm.

Meng Jixi took a deep breath.

Another fruitless day.

Well, strictly speaking, it’s not a complete failure…

He shook his head.

At least the old man told him some new information.

Although for now, he doesn't know whether the information is valuable?
"Brother Jixi."

Noticing that Meng Jixi was in a somewhat depressed mood, Chi Xiu Ke hesitated to speak.

"Ah Xi."

Chi Xiuchuan patted Meng Jixi on the shoulder.

"What?"

Meng Jixi raised his eyebrows, "Everyone has this expression?"

"I am fine."

"Isn't it just that we haven't found anything yet?"

"It's not like I haven't encountered this before."

"No, in your eyes, am I such a useless person?"

Meng Jixi frowned and thought, what in his usual behavior gave them this illusion?
"Can't you bear this level of frustration?"

"Do I need you to comfort me?"

"Uh"

Chi Xiu Ke's eyes wandered. It was clear that Brother Ji Xi looked a little depressed just now.

Chi Xiuchuan smiled, "We know you're fine."

Meng Jixi is not a newcomer who is dealing with a case for the first time.

Some cases are simple, while others are difficult.

This brother of his loves to challenge difficult cases.

I hit a lot of walls because of this.

“We were a little disappointed.”

They followed Meng Jixi all the way and watched him investigate the case.

They hope to see good results.

So, in the end, they got a bad result which disappointed them.

When they comforted Meng Jixi, they were actually comforting themselves.

"What are you disappointed about?"

Under the midsummer sun, Meng Jixi looked bright and said, "Keep investigating, the case will eventually come to light."

"and-"

Meng Jixi suddenly smiled with some "bad intentions", "Ah Xi, Master Xiao will be unhappy if you say that."

Didn’t Chi Xiuchuan’s words sound like they were saying that they were disappointed with Master Xiao?
"what?"

Chi Xiuchuan was stunned.

He subconsciously looked at Xiao Xiao.

Then a wry smile appeared on his face, “That’s not what I meant.”

"Ah Xi."

He looked at Meng Jixi, who had a rebellious look in his eyes, and said, "It seems that you are already alive and kicking."

"What's so lively?"

Meng Jixi rolled his eyes and said, "It's not a fish."

After some banter, everyone's mood was almost calmed down.

"Master Xiao."

Meng Jixi looked at Xiao Xiao with a helpless expression.

He shrugged his shoulders. "It seems you have come here for nothing."

"Sorry about that."

Xiao Xiao shook his head. "At least a few places have been ruled out."

Meng Jixi smiled and said, "That's right."

Although there are only these few places.

Li Wei's range of activities is extremely limited.

I go to and from work almost every day.

In a way, this lifestyle saves the police a lot of effort in their investigations.

“It actually excludes all places.”

Meng Jixi scratched his hair.

The autopsy room, the crime scene, and the company where Li Wei works.

Apart from these three places, are there any other places that are even vaguely related to Li Wei?
No.

Meng Jixi shook his head.

There are so few clues in this case that it's maddening.

He originally thought that as long as Master Xiao came, the case would be solved.
Li Wei's death was so strange. If it was caused by a monster, it wouldn't be so strange...

This was the case in the previous case.

As soon as Master Xiao arrived, the case was immediately brought to its final conclusion.

He thought this case would be the same.

Unexpectedly, God gave him such a big "surprise".

He couldn't catch it anymore.

"Master Xiao, please."

Meng Jixi opened the door of the trunk.

"Where do we go next?"

Chi Xiuchuan looked at the rearview mirror.

"go to eat."

Meng Jixi's words are concise and to the point.

"Hey?"

Chi Xiu Ke blurted out.

Have a meal?

"Hey what?"

Meng Jixi glanced at the girl.

"Aren't you hungry?"

"I was running around before and didn't even have lunch."

At that time, his mind was full of clues that Master Xiao was about to discover.

Even though he was disappointed twice, it aroused his gambler-like mentality and he placed all his hopes on the final destination.
