Chapter 13 Chapter 13
In the evening, at the Lu family villa.
Lu Jianing was wearing a black judo uniform, and standing opposite him was a fat and strong man in the same white judo uniform.
Lu Jianing walked towards him slowly, and the man quickly reached out and grabbed her collar, just about to exert force.
Lu Jianing quickly grabbed his elbow to restrict his direction, then swept her left foot across, and at the moment the opponent lost his balance, she pushed hard with her waist, and a man who was twice her size drew an arc in the air and fell heavily to the ground.
Bang——
A dull thud of something landing echoed throughout the training room.
Lu Jianing turned over and twisted the man's arm backwards, restraining his body again.
The posture lasted for a few minutes. The man was unwilling to be left behind. The moment he landed, he hugged Lu Jianing's left leg tightly, causing Lu Jianing to lose balance and fall.
As a result, Lu Jianing hooked his right foot, firmly clamped the man's neck, and then knelt down with his whole body.
The left foot that was captured before now became the force to attack the man, leaving him no room to escape.
The man lay on the ground and struggled weakly for a while, until his last bit of strength was gone, but he still couldn't get rid of Lu Jianing's control.
"Mr. Xiaolu, I lost." The man begged for mercy.
Lu Jianing immediately let go of him, and the moment he stood firm, he reached out and helped him up from the ground.
"Thank you for your hard work." Lu Jianing thanked him.
"It's not hard," the man panted, "Koji-sensei is getting better and better at judo."
Lu Jianing walked to the side, took out a bottle of unopened water and handed it to him: "Drink some water."
"Thank you, Mr. Xiaolu." The man thanked sincerely.
Lu Jianing picked up a bottle of water and drank it all up in one gulp.
There were only Lu Jianing and the man in the huge training room, and their heavy breathing echoed throughout the space.
The man panted heavily. He sloppily wiped his soaked black hair with a towel and said, "Mr. Xiaolu, how many years have you been practicing judo?"
Lu Jianing put her arms on the chair twice. She thought for a while and answered, "About ten years."
"Ten years?" The man was surprised. "Your family is so rich, you don't need to practice judo to protect yourself."
"In the first few years, I practiced judo just for fun," Lu Jianing said after a moment of silence. "In the following years, I practiced judo more as a responsibility."
"To protect your family?" the man asked casually.
Lu Jianing was silent for a moment: "Yeah."
Noticing Lu Jianing's strange expression, the man didn't continue asking. He changed the subject and said, "Mr. Xiaolu, you can compete in judo competitions, right? Have you ever thought about becoming a professional?"
"It's not the right time yet." Lu Jianing said.
"Why?" The man turned his head to look at Lu Jianing and advised, "Mr. Xiaolu, you don't hang out in the professional circle, so you don't know. In fact, the golden period of professional players is very short. If you delay for a few more years, your physical strength and reaction speed will not be able to keep up. How can you fight with those young people?"
Lu Jianing replied perfunctorily: "I'll consider it after I finish my own business."
"You still have..."
Before the man could even ask his question, Lu Jianing took out a plaster from the side and said, "Put it on."
She was stopping him.
The man tactfully took the plaster that Lu Jianing handed over and said, "Thank you, Mr. Xiaolu."
"Thank you for practicing with me today. If you feel anything unusual tomorrow, please contact me and I will reimburse all your medical expenses." Lu Jianing said.
As a professional sparring partner, the man always pays attention to propriety when sparring with rich people.
For example, in which action you need to give way; in which action you need to be careful not to hurt the customers.
Therefore, every time he went out on business, he would be extra careful, for fear of hurting these young masters and young ladies.
But the Mr. Lu in front of him seemed completely different from those spoiled and self-respecting rich second-generations. Not only are the calluses on her hands thicker than his, but her judo skills are also top-notch.
He tried his best to resist her, but she was not hurt at all.
On the contrary, he was a professional player and was thrown to the ground by her many times.
Man: "What are you talking about, Mr. Xiaolu? It is my duty to accompany you in training. I know you are still showing mercy."
"Otherwise, I won't be able to survive a single move in your hands."
Lu Jianing neither confirmed nor denied it. She calmly put the bottle of water in her hand aside and picked up her mobile phone from the side to play with it.
At the same time, Jiang Yubai and Jiang Xingye walked in from the door side by side.
Noticing their approach, the man from before tactfully put away his things and said, "I'm leaving now, Mr. Xiaolu. Contact me if you need anything."
"Yes." Lu Jianing agreed.
The man passed by Jiang Yubai and the others, and nodded and greeted them tacitly along the way.
Jiang Yubai and the others walked up to Lu Jianing.
Jiang Xingye was the first to speak up and tease, "Boss, are you going to beat up another professional judo player?"
"Daily sparring." Lu Jianing answered simply.
Jiang Xingye: "Then it seems to me that the guy who just left had a serious waist injury."
"It's normal to lose control of the force once in a while," Lu Jianing said. Curious, he asked, "Why are you here today? Did you solve the case?"
"Well, it's solved," Jiang Xingye said considerately, "I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep at night, so I came here to report to you on the progress of Zhao Mogan's case."
Even though Lu Jianing knew the ins and outs of the case, she still wanted to hear more: "What's going on."
Jiang Xingye: "Zhao Mogan's suicide note was found in Liu Hongmin's home. Liu Hongmin confessed to killing Zhao Mogan."
"She said that on the day of the murder, she called Zhao Mogan to the guest room and killed him. When she stabbed him for the first time, Zhao Mogan was still conscious. But because it was her first murder, she was afraid and put the weapon on Zhao Mogan at the same time and used more force, which caused the two weapons to be misplaced."
Lu Jianing listened carefully for a while and said, "What about Sun Anling? What role did she play in Sun Anling's case?"
Jiang Xingye explained: "Originally, Liu Hongmin's plan was to take the time to do some special treatment on the fence on the second floor of the Zhao family when Zhao Qian returned to China to recognize his ancestors. But unexpectedly, on the day of her plan, Shen Yuan went to the Zhao family first, and because of a conflict with Sun Anling on the way, he accidentally used the mechanism she carefully designed."
Lu Jianing: "What happened to the sleeping pills in Zhao Mogan's stomach?"
"This is what I want to tell you," Jiang Xingye said seriously, "Liu Hongmin admitted many charges, but this is the only thing she denied. She firmly insisted that she did not feed Zhao Mogan sleeping pills."
"Could it be that Zhao Qian fed it?" Jiang Yubai asked.
"Captain He also interrogated Zhao Qian," Jiang Xingye said with certainty, "and he said he knew nothing about it."
Lu Jianing: "Captain He believes it?"
"Captain He said he didn't lie." Jiang Xingye replied quickly.
That's strange...
Lu Jianing held his chin and thought for a while: "Why do I feel that this case is not as simple as it seems?"
It was as if there was an invisible hand in the darkness, pushing the whole case forward with a purpose.
It will automatically fill in all the loopholes in the criminal process, and will intentionally or unintentionally hinder the police's investigation...
Jiang Xingye noticed that Lu Jianing's expression was a little strange, so he continued, "Also, Liu Hongmin and Zhao Qian took the initiative to surrender to the police station."
As if dissatisfied, he added: "Before Captain He deduced that they were the murderers."
Lu Jianing didn't care much: "I know."
Noticing that Lu Jianing showed no sign of surprise, Jiang Xingye asked, “Your masterpiece?”
"I just went to talk to them," Lu Jianing explained, "Those two people are not bad people at heart."
After saying that, Lu Jianing took out a stack of files from the side and said, "Give these two files to He Qifeng."
Jiang Xingye took out a test report from inside: "You want to investigate these two cases?"
Lu Jianing said, "Yes, I have organized all the evidence in it this afternoon. You just need to hand it over to the judge in court."
Jiang Xingye stuffed the file in his pocket and asked casually, "Boss, didn't you say that our mission is special and we shouldn't meddle in other people's business? Why did you help others first?"
Lu Jianing didn't seem to be in a very good mood. She looked at the empty judo field and said sadly, "They just didn't trust us police officers and did something stupid."
"Although they were murderers in Zhao Mogan's case, they were victims in these two cases. They have an obligation to hear the court's verdict before receiving the corresponding punishment."
"It's rare to hear such tolerant words from you," Jiang Xingye patted Jiang Yubai beside him with satisfaction, "Jiang Yubai, our little Lu has grown up."
Lu Jianing remained silent.
Jiang Yubai didn't respond. He tilted his head and said, "Old Jiang, solving a case can be done with just a phone call. It's not worth it for you to come all the way here."
"So, what exactly do you want to do when you come to see us today?"
"Nothing." Jiang Xingye put his arm on Jiang Yubai's shoulder. "It's just that I think He Qifeng seems to have discovered something."
"You should keep a low profile in the future."
Lu Jianing was not convinced: "You can't solve the case yourself, and you blame us for being too ostentatious?"
Where does this make sense?
"You can say these things to him in person," Jiang Xingye said.
Lu Jianing immediately backed down: "Forget it then."
He Qifeng is of higher seniority, so according to convention, she has to call him uncle-master.
So I don’t know if it is because of this reason, but she always feels an inexplicable fear when facing He Qifeng.
Jiang Yubai and Jiang Xingye instantly guessed her thoughts, looked at each other, and then burst out laughing.
Lu Jianing raised his eyes and looked at them: "What are you laughing at!"
"It's rare to see you being so cowardly." Jiang Xingye said fearlessly.
Lu Jianing threw the strap he had just taken off his wrist at Jiang Xingye: "Are you looking for death?"
Jiang Xingye: "Boss, please don't say the word 'death'. I deal with corpses every day in my industry. I'm almost sick of it."
"If you don't want to be a forensic doctor, I should apply to the General Administration to transfer you to be my secretary?" Lu Jianing suggested.
"Don't do that," Jiang Xingye joked, "I'm still more suitable to be an undercover agent."
Undercover?
Lu Jianing couldn't help but think of the wine she smelled on the Zhao cruise ship.
It was a wine with an extremely rich concentration, with a strong grape flavor, matched with the unique woody aroma of wood, making the already silky wine emit an alluring scent when shaken along the glass wall of the goblet.
She is like an exotic dancer, charming and swaying, and one glance at her is enough to easily make you fall in love with her.
It's just... this smell, she seems to have smelled it somewhere before
