C166 Panic (1/2)
I held my phone as I read the news on the internet, waiting for Cheng Ning's answer. I believed that Senior Song Ci's deduction was completely reasonable, I was afraid that if they did not catch him, if this damn person ran away, it would only take 10 days to catch him, or even half a month, and I would be done for.
At this time, Zhang Chen had already started to help me with my public opinion, and many customers who had received notifications on the phone also came forward to speak for me. The public opinion had finally calmed down, but the consequence of me doing so was that either nothing would happen to me, or it would be a complete mess and I would never be able to turn back.
Time passed second by second, at ten, eleven, all the way until eleven-thirty, no one reported anything to me, no one called me either, Cheng Ning was like a clay ox entering the ocean, once she left, he would no longer make a sound.
If there's no news after twelve, then I really have to find another way, but what can I do now that I've come this far? He couldn't possibly have employees working around the police and corpses, right?
”Buzz buzz.” I immediately picked up the phone to take a look. The result is that the person Zhang Chen called was not Cheng Ning. Disappointed, I picked up the phone. ”Hello?”
The phone was picked up, and Zhang Chen's excited voice came from the other side of the phone, ”Director Jiang, I've found what you told me to investigate. According to reliable information, the main source of the news is the Beijing News Bulletin, and the biggest shareholder behind this newspaper is Qi Family.”
Qi Tai? So it's that grandson? I thought that it was the Xu father and son's doing, but I didn't expect it to be him. Looks like my relationship with Li Xinai is really a thorn in this grandson's side, a thorn in my side.
I've only heard of Qi Tai's reputation a few times, and I know that he's very strong, but I don't know how strong he actually is. It just so happens that Zhang Chen mentioned him, so I casually asked: ”Is Qi Family very strong?”
”Very powerful!” Zhang Chen replied without the slightest hesitation, her tone carrying a little reverence. She lowered her voice and said: ”Director Jiang, have you offended Qi Family? If that's the case, I feel that we have to pretend that we do not know that it was Qi Family who did it, and wait for the right opportunity to make our move.
Normally, everyone would be able to see what kind of properties a clan had at a glance. The bigger the family, the more obvious it was; but if the Qi Family's power was able to hide it, then that meant that he had a lot of skills.
It's not that I don't understand Zhang Chen's words, they sound nice, but they sound like they're just like a light covering for a well, a vulgar development; or perhaps it's just that right now, the power was too weak, they could only submit, and if they were framed, then they would be framed. If nothing happens, they would just pretend that nothing happened.
Although this matter is sullen, all I can do right now is to secretly give this cut that Qi Tai has given me. Sooner or later, I, Jiang Xiaofo, will definitely return it to him.
”Director Jiang?” Zhang Chen called out to me again as she waited for my reply.
”Alright, I understand. Thank you.” I said, and hung up. The hand holding the phone tightened, and only I could absorb the anger. At this time, a wave of Footsteps came from the corridor. A group of people wearing funeral parlors' uniforms walked up to them.
Behind them was Cheng Ning, seeing her bringing the funeral home's people over, a large part of my heart dropped. I looked at her and asked: ”How is it?”
”He caught her, but she was still sleeping when she caught him. What do you think his first sentence was?” Cheng Ning's face was full of smiles as if he was extremely happy. A murder case was solved in less than the morning, it could be considered a great merit.
I shook my head.
Cheng Ning continued while laughing: ”When he saw us, the first thing he said was' Why did you guys come so quickly!” Hahaha, Mr. Jiang is doing this all thanks to your help. He admitted to the facts of the crime and only waited for the final match of the DNA test. I've already called the funeral home. We can clean up the scene. ”
When I heard the words ”can clean up the scene” from Cheng Ning, I could be considered to be completely relieved. I know that I have passed this stage.
What I didn't expect was that, in Cheng Ning's eyes, my shock seemed to be the calmness and boldness of a master; she looked at me with curiosity and asked: ”Mr. Jiang, I have to admit that you're really impressive. My meticulous observation and analysis of the crime scene is simply to perfection! If I have the chance, I would like to discuss it with you. ”
What should I say? Hmm, I seem to have seen something said by the Great Song Judging Officer Song Ci before. I thought for a moment and softly pretended to be dull as I said, ”Oh, when you solve a case in the future, don't think of a corpse as a dead person. You should think of it as a living person, a living person who can talk to you.
Cheng Ning had an expression of being enlightened. She smiled and nodded: ”That Mr. Jiang, in order to express my gratitude, I hope to treat you to a meal. If I encounter any difficult cases in the future, I might be able to ask for your advice.
Oh god, oh earth, how can I have that much lifespan to help you solve a case? I am simply a fighter in a thunderstorm, to be able to solve a case would make my lifespan drop by a year, but I had even pretended to fight with Cheng Ning and couldn't take it back. With the fundamental principle of not losing face in front of a beauty, I helplessly nodded my head.
