Chapter 991: Directional Clues

In the office of Wang Dezhi Transport Company.

Wang Song and the others are inquiring about Wang Dezhi.

“President Wang is a very righteous person, and he’s very good to us. He doesn’t seem to have offended anyone.”

“We’re all old employees who started the business with President Wang, even though we work here in the province’s capital, most of us are actually from Tianzhou City.”

“President Wang treats us pretty well, and the salary and benefits are quite good. In the same industry, we’re considered relatively high, and some important old employees even have some shares and bonuses.”

The employees related to the transport company in the provincial capital have a good evaluation of Wang Dezhi.

Based on current information, Wang Zezhi is generally kind-hearted and doesn’t often make enemies.

Although some employees have left the transport company, it was mostly due to objective reasons, such as elderly relatives being sick or needing to care for young children. Many reasons weren’t subjective, not due to conflicts with the Boss, or other disharmonious factors.

Despite investigating these circumstances, Wang Song still conducted a focus inspection on three employees who left this year.

“Your President Wang hasn’t been at the company for so long; how is the company operating now?”

Inside the office, Wang Song is personally questioning these employees.

“The company’s operation has always been like this; when President Wang is here, he usually handles business himself and doesn’t manage the company’s operations much.”

This is what the employees said.

“Handling the business?”

Wang Song continued his inquiry: “Does your President Wang personally handle business?”

The counterpart nodded: “Although we have a business department, they usually focus on developing new business. Our major deals here are actually brought in by President Wang through his connections; he has been in the industry for a long time and is quite well-established.”

According to these employees, Wang Dezhi was a truck driver in his early years.

Back then, driving a truck was relatively lucrative, and Wang Dezhi was willing to endure hardships to earn his first bucket of gold.

Later, due to his flexible mind, he contracted a line himself, and as he traveled between Tianzhou and the provincial capital, his business gradually grew bigger.

Initially, he formed a fleet; later, many of the fleet’s vehicles were bought by him, and he hired these drivers to establish a transportation company.

According to these employees, to run this transport company stably, it definitely needs relatively stable clients.

And these stable big clients have been maintained by Wang Dezhi over the years.

“Have there been any lost clients recently?”

“It seems not; our business is pretty good…”

While Wang Song was asking, Lu Chuan was observing around in the office.

Wang Dezhi’s office is not big, but it’s well-kept and tidy.

Lu Chuan was looking around, occasionally taking some photos.

“Brother Wang, you go ahead, I’ll go out and have a look.”

“Alright.”

Lu Chuan asked someone from the transport company’s office to take him around casually.

“Where’s your Boss’s car?”

“Oh, it’s in the garage over there.”

“Alright, take me to have a look.”

In the warehouse, Lu Chuan saw a Mercedes-Benz sedan.

Putting on gloves, Lu Chuan prepared to inspect: “Has anyone touched this car?”

The employee shook his head: “This is the Boss’s car; we wouldn’t dare touch it.”

“Where’s the key?”

“There should be a spare key in President Wang’s office; the key he often uses should be with him.”

“Bring the key over.”

“Okay, just a moment.”

Moments later, Lu Chuan was a bit surprised when he received the key.

This spare car key had some shiny crystal fragments manually affixed to it.

“Your Boss doesn’t have a daughter, right?”

The person shook his head: “No, no, our Boss only has two sons.”

Lu Chuan put down his doubts, opened the car door, and began to inspect.

Inside the car was nothing special, clean and orderly, but Lu Chuan smelled a faint scent of perfume.

This smell was familiar to Lu Chuan because Shen Yan often used this perfume, it was the scent of Chanel No. 5.

According to what Lu Chuan currently knows, this car has been sitting in this garage unmoved since Wang Dezhi’s disappearance.

With such a strong perfume smell after all this time, it indicates the perfume owner frequently took this car.

Moving to the passenger side, Lu Chuan examined the adjustment of the passenger seat.

Then he opened the trunk.

The trunk contained quite a few items, cigarettes, alcohol, and some drinks.

Besides this, Lu Chuan also found a sealed gift box.

“A donkey brand’s treasure?”

Without needing to open, from the packaging outside, it was clearly a donkey brand bag.

Thinking for a moment, Lu Chuan re-locked the car door.

He looked at the accompanying person: “Does your Boss have any close relationships with women here in the provincial capital?”

“Well…” The person hesitated for quite a while before saying, “We don’t know.”

“Are you sure you don’t know, or are you pretending not to know?”

Seeing the other’s hesitant expression, Lu Chuan knew he was not being truthful.

“I am asking you as a police officer about the victim. Any clue could lead us to the truth about who harmed Wang Dezhi. Tell me what you know without hesitating. There’s no need for that, right?”

“Oh, oh.”

The person hurriedly nodded: “Understood, understood.”

“We’re really not clear about President Wang’s private life situation here, so whether he has a particularly close relationship with a woman, we truly haven’t seen it; he hasn’t brought anyone to the company either.”

“But once when he went out, I happened to need to go out to issue an invoice, and he dropped me off at the tax bureau. My tax book was left in the car, and when I called President Wang to bring it over, I saw a woman sitting in the passenger seat.”

“When did this happen?”

“One and a half months ago.”

Lu Chuan’s expression hardened: “Anything else?”

“That’s really it; honestly, I don’t know anything else.”

“Alright, I’ll have a colleague take your statement later; don’t move this car until I return.”

As he left, Lu Chuan made arrangements with Wang Song, planning to return to the Criminal Investigation Team to get some equipment.

Based on clues from the site where Wang Dezhi’s body was found, the perpetrator is likely female, so any women connected to Wang Dezhi are key suspect leads for Lu Chuan.

Although people at the transport company don’t know which women had close relationships with Wang Dezhi, the counterpart should have sat in Wang Dezhi’s car.

In the car is a strong perfume smell, and someone saw a woman sitting in President Wang’s passenger seat.

Plus, there’s the crystal-adorned spare car key.

Lu Chuan believes this is a lead!
