Chapter 07 Chapter 7
Sun Anling is dead? How is that possible?
Lu Jianin put his right hand on his lips.
If Zhao Mogan’s death was caused by a property dispute, then what was the cause of Sun Anling’s death?
Could it be that she knew who the murderer was?
Could it be Shen Yuan?
"Do you want to come with us, Xiaolu?" Jiang Xingye suggested suddenly.
Lu Jianing came back to his senses and uttered an "ah" softly, then said, "No, I'm not interested in the bloody scene at the crime scene. I've already sent the person there, and whether he can provide any clues is up to you and him."
Bai Yunan added, "Forensic Doctor Jiang, Ms. Xiaolu has to go through three days of psychological counseling every time she looks at the crime scene. Although she has money, she can't afford to waste it like this."
Jiang Xingye let out a long "Oh": "Looking at how calm Xiaolu is, I think she's quite bold."
Lu Jianing did not defend herself. She said in a slow tone, "Actually, I am a coward to death."
"I'm leaving."
Looking at Lu Jianing's departing back, Bai Yunan felt puzzled: "Why do I feel like she's quite proud of herself for saying she's timid?"
Jiang Xingye didn't know whether it was intentional misleading or for some other reason. He smiled and said, "It's your illusion. I feel like... she has a low self-esteem."
"self-abasement?!"
Bai Yunan seriously suspected that Jiang Xingye had some kind of filter for Lu Jianing.
Jiang Xingye: "Well, don't you think so?"
Bai Yunan thought carefully about Lu Jianing's daily behavior. He immediately shook his head and replied, "The word 'inferiority' doesn't suit her."
Jiang Xingye smiled but said nothing.

After sending the private doctor back, He Qifeng drove Bai Yunan and the others to the crime scene.
He Qifeng put on gloves, lifted the yellow safety line, and walked into the scene.
The crime scene was the home of Zhao Mogan and Sun Anling, and the deceased was found by their nanny.
And now, the nanny is being questioned by Tang Wan.
"My wife said yesterday that she had to meet someone today and asked me to come later. As a result, when I opened the door this morning, I saw my wife lying on the ground."
Tang Wan asked seriously, "About what time did you come?"
"I came just after nine."
Tang Wan: "Is the scene like this when you came?"
"Yes, at that time..."
He Qifeng didn't listen to the subsequent words. He walked around them and went straight to Jiang Xingye: "What's going on?"
"Preliminary judgment shows that the deceased fell to his death at 8 a.m. There are no obvious scars on his body, and there is no sign of struggle before his death," Jiang Xingye, who was squatting on the ground examining the body, paused for a second and said, "There is nothing strange around the body. This should be the first crime scene."
"What is this?" Zhao Mogan asked.
Jiang Xingye glanced at it and said nonchalantly, "One yuan coin."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Xingye seemed to remember something and said, "Shen Yuan can't be so stupid. The deceased left such an obvious message at the crime scene, but he didn't notice it?"
"Who is checking the surveillance?" He Qifeng asked Bai Yunan who was also checking nearby.
"Reporting to Captain He, it's Xiao Li." Bai Yunan replied immediately.
"Tell him to inform us immediately when he has any news." He Qifeng said briefly.
Bai Yunan guessed what he meant and replied, "Where are we going now?"
"Go find Shen Yuan."

The other side.
Lu Jianing walked into a building wearing eight-centimeter pink high heels.
"Who are you?" The security guard standing at the door stopped her.
"Flying Fish Technology, Lu Jianing, come and talk to the son-in-law of the Zhao family—" Lu Jianing deliberately said in a drawling tone, "that is, your big boss, to discuss cooperation issues."
"Which CEO would personally discuss cooperation? You don't even do the whole thing, and..." The security guard obviously didn't believe her. He looked at her, "A female CEO doesn't have a bodyguard around her?"
bodyguard?
She had never seen a people's policeman investigating a case who had to bring bodyguards with him when he went out.
Lu Jianing was amused by him and she burst out laughing on the spot.
She said, "I want bodyguards. Should I protect them, or should they protect me?"
Lu Jianing met the security guard's eyes without fear: "I don't need any burden around me."
Security guard: “You…”
During the conversation, a shabby man with a briefcase rushed down from the first floor of the building.
Lu Jianing recognized him at a glance, and as if to deliberately annoy him, she said to the security guard: "Sorry, I won't go in. Your son-in-law came out by himself."
The security guard was so angry that his hair stood on end: "You are the son-in-law, your whole family is son-in-law."
The sharp-eared Lu Jianing replied bluntly: "No, you are not my son."
Lu Jianing acted as if nothing had happened.
She walked in front of Shen Yuan and started with a taunting remark: "Master Shen, your look today is quite unique."
Shen Yuan was silent while “running away”: “The way…”
"It seems that you have not forgotten much," Lu Jianing looked at his attire for a few seconds, and then asked in a slow tone, "Where are you going?"
Shen Yuan turned away with a guilty conscience, trying his best to avoid looking at Lu Jianing.
He replied tremblingly: "I... have a contract today and need to go on a business trip for a few days."
"Master Shen is very ambitious," Lu Jianing stepped forward to stop him, mocking him, "Your mother-in-law just left this morning, and you couldn't wait to sign the contract? Should I say you are heartless or you want to escape from the crime?"
Shen Yuan was a little annoyed, and he immediately retorted: "Lu Jianing, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Don't be angry. I'll just ask you a question, and then I'll let you go," Lu Jianing promised, "I won't delay you for even a minute."
"Why should I trust you?" Shen Yuan was on high alert.
"Why can't you trust me?" Lu Jianing said, "I'm a businessman, not a policeman. I only care about whether you have commercial value to me."
"As for your character...it has nothing to do with me."
Lu Jianing's few words clearly made Shen Yuan relax a lot. He asked, "What question do you want to ask?"
"Who showed you Zhao Mogan's suicide note?" Lu Jianing asked bluntly without beating around the bush.
Shen Yuan immediately denied: "I don't know what suicide note is."
"Then I can't let you go."
Lu Jianing seemed to be certain that Shen Yuan must know some inside information about the suicide note, and she leisurely took a step to the side.
Standing in front of Shen Yuan, Lu Jianing said indifferently: "Today, I will stand here and see who can outlast who. Anyway, I was born open-minded and have no one to hide from."
She was implying that he was hiding from people!
"Lu Jianing," Shen Yuan was a little panicked by Lu Jianing. He couldn't bear it any longer and said angrily, "What do you want?"
"I don't want anything. I just want to hear the truth." Lu Jianing said calmly.
Shen Yuan: "Why do you have to ask about the suicide note?"
Lu Jianing seemed to have prepared her words long ago. She said frankly: "You also know that when I first came to Linjiang, I was not well received. It is not an exaggeration to say that all the companies in Linjiang City want to drive me out now."
"On the surface, they are respectful to me, but in fact, they are eyeing my business covetously. I think they should have said something like 'I can't stay in Linjiang City' in front of you," Lu Jianing observed Shen Yuan's expression and continued, "You don't have to hide it. There can't be two tigers in one mountain. Besides, Linjiang City is a famous tiger circle in the country, and there are so many tigers that they can't be counted. Now that I'm here, some of them are so angry that they are about to bite their back teeth off."
"So... I urgently need the help of the Zhao family who have been here for many years, so that I can successfully squeeze into this tiger circle."
Lu Jianing continued to appeal to his emotions: "But now that Zhao Mogan is dead, the Zhao Group no longer has a leader. I want to win over the Zhao family, but I don't know which one I should win over. If I win over someone who is useless, it will be a small waste of my financial resources, but it will also be a waste of my time and energy that I can never make up for."
"The situation is unclear now. Why don't you wait until Zhao makes his will public before winning him over?" Shen Yuan said cautiously.
"All news is real-time. You say that I, an outsider, should not take the initiative. Do I have to wait until everyone in the world knows before making preparations?" Lu Jianing paused for a second and continued, "When no one knows, I have no opponents. After everyone knows, my opponents will be all over the world."
"It would save me a lot of effort if I took the initiative, so why should I waste my time looking for a bunch of competitors?"
"Is this really the only way?" Shen Yuan asked.
"What else?" Lu Jianing asked, "Besides allowing me to negotiate directly with the heir of the Zhao family, I really don't know what other value Zhao Mogan's suicide note has for me."
Lu Jianing rolled his eyes and continued to persuade, "I can't tamper with Zhao Mogan's suicide note and pass the Zhao family to me, right? He has his own son, but on the eve of his death, he passed all the property of the Zhao Group to me. Do you think the shareholders of the Zhao Group can believe it? Do you think the employees of the Zhao Group can believe it?"
After Lu Jianing finished his lengthy analysis of the pros and cons, Shen Yuan hesitated again.
After a while, he answered, "It's Zhao Qian."
Lu Jianing: "What?"
Shen Yuan answered seriously: "The person who told me that Zhao Mogan left all his inheritance to Zhao Qian in his will was Zhao Qian."
Zhao Qian?
Zhao Mogan’s illegitimate son?
"Zhao Qian told you about the suicide note, and you believed it?" Lu Jianing raised his eyebrows and asked.
"He is Zhao Mogan's illegitimate son. Zhao Mogan is willing to tell him everything." Shen Yuan was a little crazy.
"Including the fact that he had cancer?" Lu Jianing asked.
Shen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "That's not the case. Zhao Mogan once told me that he would enjoy spending time with his biological son, so I guess he wouldn't tell Zhao Qian about his illness."
Lu Jianing was very satisfied with Shen Yuan's answer: "Okay."
Lu Jianing tilted his body to make room for Shen Yuan to pass by and said, "Please, Mr. Shen."
Shen Yuan glanced at Lu Jianing cautiously, and after making sure that she had no bad intentions, he ran away in shame.
Jiang Yubai, who heard everything through the headset, asked, "Boss, it's not right to just let him go like this."
Lu Jianing looked at Shen Yuan's back, and after making sure that he couldn't hear her, she said, "We don't have the authority to arrest him now, so we can just ask whatever we want to ask. Let He Qifeng take care of catching him."
"Besides, I made up a bunch of stories to deceive Shen Yuan, which can be regarded as buying some time for He Qifeng's actions."
"As for how far He Qifeng can run before catching Shen Yuan..." Lu Jianing sneered disdainfully, as if with enough sarcasm, "It's a matter of their own ability."
"It has nothing to do with us."
