Chapter 552 (1/2)
Ma Baoshan kept staring at Li Qing. Seeing his sudden question, he quickly replied, ”the time of death was 1 p.m. yesterday.”
Li Qing asked again, ”how did you die?”
”The preliminary judgment is that he was strangled from the back with a belt,” Ma Baoshan said. ”The autopsy report hasn't come out yet. It's estimated that he will have to wait two days.”
”Strangled by the belt?” Li Qing repeated, puzzled.
Ma Baoshan glanced at Li Qing: ”the murderer had great strength and directly broke Chen Hongming's throat. I saw his body. When he died, his expression was very ferocious. I don't know whether it was because of pain or some kind of shock. The strangest thing is that the door lock was intact, there was no trace of struggle in the room, and no one heard any sound.”
Li Qing frowned tightly: ”no monitoring?”
”Yes, but 20 minutes before Chen Hongming's death, the area where the detention center was located suddenly lost power. After the power supply was restored, the police officers saw Chen Hongming lying on the ground through monitoring. They hurried to send someone to see it. Only then did they find that the person was dead.”
”That is, someone deliberately cut off the power...” Li Qing's eyes were slightly heavy, glanced at Ma Baoshan carelessly, and his face was suddenly cold: ”director Ma, you shouldn't be doubting me?”
”No, No.” Ma Baoshan waved his hand again and again and laughed, ”Master Li laughed. How could I have that idea.”
Li Qing glanced: ”whether you have it or not, I can directly tell you that Chen Hongming's death has nothing to do with me. It's true that I hate him, but my parents' affairs have not been found out. Do you think I will let a guy who knows the inside story die at this time? Moreover, such a happy way of death is too cheap for him.”
”Yes, yes!” Ma Baoshan answered, ”yes, Mr. Li, director Zhong has ordered. I have prepared the files you want and can consult them at any time.”
”Thank you. I'll take a look by the way this time.” Li Qing answered, and his face eased.
The car drove all the way to Lingang police station. When Li Qing went upstairs with Ma Baoshan, he looked up and hit Qi Kuan leaning against the handrail of the stairs, squinting down at them.
”Director.” Ma Baoshan was a little stunned, looked at Li Qing, and then shouted a little numbly.
Qi Kuan put his hands into his pants pocket and straightened up slowly: ”you go first. I have a few words with Li Qing.”
”Oh, good.” Ma Baoshan was really a little difficult in the middle. He nodded, turned his head and said to Li Qing, ”Master Li, you can work hard in your spare time and find me in the office over there. I'll wait for you there.”
Seeing Li Qing nodding, Ma Baoshan took another look at Qi Kuan. Then he turned and left.
The rest of Li Qing and Qi Kuan looked at each other for a while. Their lines of sight were intertwined, which meant that they were crisscross. After a moment, Qi Kuan suddenly smiled: ”let's find a quiet place to talk.”
”Yes.” Li Qing followed. The two men walked in along the corridor, during which police officers kept greeting Qi Kuan.
Qi Kuan suddenly asked, ”I heard you are very close to Lin Qiuqiu of the Lin family?”
”Director Qi even wants to check this?” Li Qing is a little unhappy.
Qi Kuan smiled and waved his hand: ”I'm just asking. You know, I also have some friends with Qiuqiu. I can only envy your good fortune. I met Qiuqiu when I came to Yanjing as a port delegation. At that time, I was fascinated by her and almost didn't want to come back.”
After a pause, Qi Kuan said again, ”Li Qing, you seem to have a good relationship with women. I'm really ashamed of myself. For example, director Zhong, she seems to take special care of you.”
Li Qing understood that Qi Kuan had something to say, but he deliberately didn't answer.
”Li Qing, should we talk about the arms?” Qi Kuan glanced back at Li Qing and said with a sudden smile, ”Chen Hongming spent so much money on arms, and the arms were provided by our whole family, but you took the money. What do you say in your business? Oh, by the way, eat alone.”
Li Qing replied coldly, ”those arms come from the northern military of Hong Kong. It seems that they are not yours. The losses have been deducted from the Chen family's property. I don't know what else you want. Hasn't the Qi family taken enough advantage of it? Don't be too greedy.”
The huge sum of money for arms purchase is still kept by Qian Liming. Even if Xie Yuyan calculated a while ago and the Li family was pressed step by step by the bank, Li Qingning took the risk to go to Gangbei bay to get the gold brick without using the money, let alone giving it to the Qi family at this time. This money is a way for Li Qing to keep. He will never move unless he has to.
Qi Kuan was not surprised by Li Qing's answer. Now he didn't dare to take Li Qing, so he simply chose a more gentle way of speaking: ”the Qi family really takes a lot of advantage, but you Li family are not idle. The explosive news in Lingang these two days are emerging one after another. I wonder if you have heard of it.”
”Do you mean the homicide in Hongjiao district?” Li Qing asked faintly with a slight lift of her eyelids.
”This is one, there is another.” while talking, the two people have gone to an empty interrogation room. Qi Kuan seems to want to find such a special place to humiliate Li Qing.
