The waiter was a bit troubled and called the boss again, "Sir, is there a problem?"

Luke smiled, "It's got nothing to do with you, I'm just discussing something with your boss."

The waiter left.

Luke looked at Louise, "How's it going?"

Louise had a hint of delight on her face, "The dishes and takeout box match what was found at the crime scene, the victim likely visited this restaurant."

"Sir, anything else you need?" The boss walked over, a hint of confusion on her face.

Louise took out a photo of Zhou Tiansheng and asked, "Do you know him?"

The boss hesitated for a moment, picked up the photo and looked at it, nodded, "Yes.

A few days ago, he dined here."

"What dishes did he order?"

"I can't remember."

"Did he dine here or take it out?"

"It seemed like takeout." The boss said, then looked at them warily, her gaze falling on Luke, "Are you looking for someone again?

Why do you keep coming to my restaurant to find people?"

Luke did not answer, instead, he asked, "When did he come?"

"I can't remember exactly, probably January 24th or 25th."

"Did he come alone?"

"Seems like he was alone."

"How was his condition at that time?"

The boss shook her head, "I see too many customers every day, it's impossible to notice each one's mood.

Moreover, I respect you, and I also respect other customers.

I've already told you a lot, I hope you understand."

Louise took out her badge from her pocket, "Fo Bo Le.

Ma'am, we're investigating a murder case, as far as we know, the victim should have visited your restaurant before his death.

We need to know about his situation."

"Murder case!" The boss's face changed slightly, "How could such a thing happen?"

Louise said, "It's not a good thing, but it did happen, that's why we're here."

The boss said helplessly, "But I really only know this.

He just packed some food in the store."

Louise looked at the corner of the ceiling in the restaurant, "We want to check the surveillance footage."

The boss asked back, "Do you have a search warrant?"

Louise shrugged, "We don't have it right now.

But if necessary, we will apply for one, though it might affect your business."

The boss's face hardened, "Are you threatening me? You think I don't know the law?"

"No, I'm just telling the truth.

If we come with a search warrant, the search will definitely be more thorough, and the impact will be bigger.

It might affect your customers' meals." Louise tried to make her tone as friendly as possible, "Hope you don't misunderstand, this is just a friendly reminder."

The boss thought for a moment, nodded, "OK, as long as you don't affect the business, you can view the surveillance, but not take it away."

"Thank you."

The boss joked, "Hope when I call 911, you are as dedicated as today."

Luke reminded, "Hey, don't say things like that.

Although we are very dedicated, hopefully, you'll never need us."

"You're right, I take back what I said." The boss showed a wry smile and led them to the cash register, "The surveillance is here, you can check it yourself."

Louise started operating the computer, opening the surveillance video replay.

Luke also stood beside her to check.

Louise opened the video from January 24th, around eight in the evening, an Asian man walked into the restaurant, dressed in grey casual wear with a baseball cap, which he took off after entering the store.

"It's Zhou Tiansheng." Louise's tone was a bit excited.

Zhou Tiansheng found a table and sat down, the waiter came over and handed him the menu, Zhou Tiansheng said a few words to the waiter and turned his head to look at the female boss at the cash register.

The waitress went to the cash register and said a few words to the boss.

Not long after, the boss walked over to Zhou Tiansheng, and they exchanged a few words before the boss returned to the cash register.

After that, Zhou Tiansheng left the restaurant with the packed food.

Louise pressed the space bar, pausing the video, "What did they say? Why do I feel there was something unusual about the boss after seeing Zhou Tiansheng?"

Luke patted her shoulder, "Let me."

Louise stepped aside, and Luke sat down to operate the computer, finding other surveillance footage from the same time, watching from different angles to find a camera that could observe their facial expressions.

After some manipulation, Luke used lip-reading to analyze their conversation.

The female boss, "Why are you here?"

Zhou Tiansheng smiled, "Don't be so cold, a night together is a lifetime favor, I have been thinking about you.

You are even more beautiful than I remember."

"The person in your memory is already dead, I now go by Lin, don't disturb my life anymore."

"What about Zhou Ning, I want to see her."

"Our lives have finally calmed down, I won't let you meet."

"When did you become so ruthless?"

"Thanks to you." The female boss turned and left after speaking.

Seeing Luke constantly replaying the face video, Louise guessed, "Can you lip-read?"

Luke nodded, "They know each other, very likely to be in a relationship or married."

Louise recalled, "I remember Zhou Tiansheng was indeed married once but divorced years ago.

His ex-wife's identity has always been low-key, the Malaysian police found few clues, only knowing she was called Chen Yue, also Malaysian, her current whereabouts are unknown."
