Chapter 17 Chapter 17
He Qifeng didn't have time to explain to him. He kept shaking Lu Jianing's shoulders, trying to wake her up.
"Lukaning, wake up, Lujianing..."
On the way, he did not forget to hold open Lu Jianing's eyelids and check Lu Jianing's pulse.
Bai Yunan seemed a little bit unbelievable. He looked around in panic: "Secretary Jiang, what's going on now?"
"Don't talk." Jiang Yubai observed the surrounding environment.
He Qifeng held Lu Jianing's shoulders and helped her up.
Jiang Yubai, who had sharp eyes, seemed to have discovered something. He pointed to the corner to the right of the toilet and asked, "What is that?"
He Qifeng looked over and paused for a few seconds. Then he stood up and carefully placed Lu Jianing in Jiang Yubai's arms.
He put on gloves and gradually approached the black bag.
In an instant, the smell of blood filled his entire nostrils.
He quickly unbuttoned the black bag, and the bloody head inside instantly appeared.
The head inside had its eyes tightly closed, its entire face covered in blood, and its wet hair was clumped together by the blood.
"Ugh..." Bai Yunan, who didn't react, felt a little nauseous physiologically.
He Qifeng, who was squatting on the ground, asked, "When will Tang Wan and the others arrive?"
Bai Yunan: "It will probably take another ten minutes."
"Leave this to me," He Qifeng arranged in an orderly manner, "Bai Yunan, take Lu Jianing to the police station."
Jiang Yubai refused on the spot: "No, our boss needs to go to the hospital for a physical examination first."
He Qifeng: "She is fine, just unconscious. We just need to check her blood to see if it contains any tranquilizers..."
"No," Jiang Yubai said impatiently, "Captain He, I can cooperate with you on anything except this."
As if to reassure himself, or to show his attitude, Jiang Yubai said solemnly: "She must be fine."
Bai Yunan noticed that Jiang Yubai was a little out of control, so he said, "Secretary Jiang, you have to trust our Captain He. He has studied Chinese medicine, and he was the one who took our pulses and checked us when we were feeling unwell."
"Besides, we have a doctor within the police force who can also give Mr. Xiaolu a detailed examination."
Jiang Yubai said forcefully: "Sorry, I don't trust anyone now."
He Qifeng, who was examining the head, paused for a moment, as if giving in: "You guys go to the hospital first, and then go to the police station to record your statement."
Bai Yunan: "Captain He, I'll go with you."
"No need." He Qifeng hesitated for a moment, "I believe them."
"Jiang Yubai..." Lu Jianing said weakly after he had recovered a little bit of his spirit.
"Boss?" Jiang Yubai asked anxiously, "How do you feel?"
"I'm fine..." Lu Jianing tried to keep himself awake. "Listen to Captain He... Let's go to the police station first. My feet are almost blistered."
Jiang Yubai looked down at Lu Jianing's high heels, then seemed to understand something: "Okay."
-
It was not until ten o'clock in the afternoon of the next day that Lu Jianing finally woke up.
She sat up straight and took a look at her surroundings.
The surrounding walls were iron and steel, and the cold iron bed was carefully replaced with a set of softer bedding, which was light green.
She looked idly outside the room.
"Awake?" said the detective who was patrolling outside. .
Lu Jianing nodded: "Yes."
"Let's go," the detective said, "After breakfast, go to the interrogation room."
Lu Jianing nodded obediently.
Lu Jianing quickly finished his breakfast and then followed a criminal police officer into a room.
As soon as he entered the door, Lu Jianing recognized He Qifeng who was sitting on the chair opposite.
Lu Jianing had expected him to appear here, so she was not surprised. She greeted him naturally: "Captain He."
As if he had been waiting for her for a long time, He Qifeng, who was reading the file, looked up at her, then picked up a glass of water from in front of him and placed it in front of her.
Lu Jianing put his nose close to it and sniffed it: "Honey water?"
"Yeah." He Qifeng, who had just sat down, replied.
Lu Jianing drank it all in one gulp: "I didn't expect that Captain He, as a male police officer, would be more attentive to details than me."
"Why did you appear at the crime scene?" He Qifeng asked.
"Is there any need to ask why a girl like me appeared at the crime scene?" Lu Jianing said. This book is exclusively compiled for you by the LK team
He Qifeng: "In other words, you took the initiative to go to the crime scene, right?"
Lu Jianing did not hide it: "Yes, I accidentally spilled wine on myself and my clothes were soaked. In order not to look so embarrassed, I went to the bathroom to tidy myself up. Who knew that just as I finished tidying up my clothes, someone pressed something on my neck and I passed out."
He Qifeng: "Was that person outside or inside the bathroom at that time?"
"Outside," Lu Jianing said quickly, "There's a big mirror in the bathroom. If I were inside, wouldn't I be able to see what that person looks like through the mirror?"
He Qifeng stated: "You were injected with a new type of sleeping pill."
"No wonder I fainted." Lu Jianing said casually.
He Qifeng handed her a person's information: "Do you know her?"
Lucanim is the personal information of the deceased.
[Dead: Meng Yuan; Age: 25 years old; Identity: Waiter at Zuimeng Bar; Social relationship: orphan; Cause of death: Severe external injury to the head, resulting in death from interruption of blood supply to the brain. Other supplements: There were no other external injuries on the deceased's body, no obvious drug residues in the blood, but the gastric juice contained a large amount of alcohol. 】
Lu Jianing frowned.
He Qifeng: "Do you know her?"
Lu Jianing put away the information and said, "I know him."
He Qifeng: "How did you know each other?"
Lu Jianing didn't even think about it and continued, "Last night, when I was going to the bathroom, I ran into her on the road. She seemed to be arguing with someone at the time, and both of them were talking loudly."
He Qifeng: "How can you be sure it's her?"
"She took a step back and bumped into me, then she unilaterally scolded me for a few words, saying that I was not paying attention when I walked," Lu Jianing said. "I thought she might have mental problems, so I didn't bother with her."
"Did you see who was arguing with her?" He Qifeng continued to ask.
This time, Lu Jianing took a long time to think: "No, when I passed by, the man happened to be hiding in the shadows, and I didn't see his face clearly."
"Where did you see the deceased and the mysterious man arguing?" He Qifeng asked.
"In the hall around the corner leading to the ladies' room."
After Lu Jianing answered, He Qifeng was silent for a while. He stared at her and said, "Don't you have anything to give me?"
Lu Jianing sneered and teased: "Captain He, do you think I have a weapon hidden on me?"
He Qifeng stared at her and answered quickly: "You know I'm not doubting this."
Lu Jianing asked back: "Then what are you doubting?"
He Qifeng looked at her for a moment and said, "Lu Jianing, I don't want to play dumb with you."
Lu Jianing crossed his legs and said, "Captain He, you are joking. You are a police interrogator and I am a criminal suspect. Logically, you should know more about the situation than I do. How come I am hiding something from you and playing dumb with you?"
"I'm just a second-generation rich man who doesn't work hard. Captain He, you think too highly of me."
He Qifeng was the first to reveal the truth: "There is no one else behind the glass. I am the only one in the interrogation room."
Lu Jianing continued to play dumb: "What do you mean?"
"What I mean is that everything you say here is only known to me," He Qifeng continued to persuade, "I know that you and I are at the same level, and I have no right to interfere with your mission, but I think that working as a team is always more useful than fighting alone."
Lu Jianing glanced at the camera next to her, then chuckled inconspicuously. She said, "Captain He, what does equal level mean? Does it mean that we are equal in personality?"
Lu Jianing didn't buy it. She continued, "It seems that Captain He is really good at empathizing with ordinary people like us. If everyone was like Captain He, I would save a lot of trouble."
"Lu Jianing." Lu Jianing continued to play dumb, which made He Qifeng completely unable to hold back, so he said seriously.
"Yes," Lu Jianing answered bluntly, and she added slowly, "Not dead."
He Qifeng couldn't resist Lu Jianing's denial after all, so he picked up his cell phone and fiddled with it for a long time.
Then he put the phone to his ear.
I glanced at the call interface on He Qifeng’s phone.
Lu Jianing immediately straightened up: "What are you doing?"
He Qifeng: "Call."
Lu Jianing asked cautiously, "Who are you fighting for?"
He Qifeng raised his eyes and glanced at her: "Guess."
Before Lu Jianing could ask any other questions, she rushed forward, snatched the phone from He Qifeng's hand, and slammed it on the table.

"Don't hit me." Lu Jianing said firmly.
He Qifeng stared at him without saying anything.
Lu Jianing's attitude immediately softened: "Please."
He Qifeng signaled with his eyes at the phone that she had placed on the table.
Lu Jianing took it out doubtfully, and then saw the large dialing interface displayed on the phone screen.
She swiped to the left and the interface changed to another one.
It's an album photo!
He helped her!
Cunning old fox!
He looks serious on the surface, but actually he has a lot of tricks up his sleeve.
He Qifeng: "Who do you think I'm fighting against? My roommate?"
"Who would report the teacher just because they are disobedient?" Lu Jianing rolled his eyes and said unconvinced.
He Qifeng: "Can we chat now?"
Lu Jianing angrily sat back in her previous seat, crossed her legs again, and smiled confidently: "Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from Captain He."
"But I'm curious, when did you recognize me?"
He Qifeng didn't intend to hide it from her: "When you introduced yourself to Tang Wan."
Lu Jianing was stunned for a moment, then thought seriously about that conversation.
She remembered that she wanted to search the crime scene, but was caught by He Qifeng.
At that time, Tang Wan asked her who she was.
Her self-introduction is: Hello, Lu Jianing, a rich second generation.
Is there anything wrong with this sentence?
Lu Jianing: "Is there anything wrong with what I said?"
He Qifeng said affirmatively: "When we first met, you said exactly the same thing."
Lu Jianing said firmly: "I remember it very clearly. We met at Zhao Mogan's crime scene. I didn't introduce myself. It was the little follower next to you who introduced me."
He Qifeng: "Not that time."
Lu Jianing was almost driven crazy by He Qifeng's character of never saying a word when he was about to say something. How could there be such a boring person who likes to make others guess?
She calmed down and followed his lead, asking, "Which time was that?"
He Qifeng: "At your master's wedding ceremony."
Lu Jianing: “Hmm?”
Wedding ceremony?

Lu Jianing searched his memory carefully.
It seemed that was indeed the first time she and He Qifeng met.
At that time, she was interning with her master for a month.
She was not familiar with the people in the police station, but she was arranged to sit at the front table by her master's master, that is, her master's master.
Coincidentally, He Qifeng was also inside.
The whole table was filled with colleagues, and all they talked about were things like how to solve a case and how to improve the milk tea equipment.
This just hit Lu Jianing's interest. The young and passionate girl fought alone against five people, and frantically expressed her opinions to various criminal investigation masters, and soon became one with them.
Coincidentally, someone asked her who she was, and she was still in her internship and had not decided which police station she would work in.
She could only say: "My name is Lu Jianing, and I'm a rich second-generation."
"Can you give it to me now?" He Qifeng said.
Lu Jianing took off his necklace: "There is a recording inside, which should only record my entire experience before I fell into a coma and appeared in the police station."
"I will check it carefully, you go back first." He Qifeng said.
"I have paid everything I should pay. Don't you plan to let me go back?" Lu Jianing said.
"I don't know whether the murderer has a personal grudge against you, or if you just happened to be so unlucky to be chosen by him," He Qifeng said, "so it's safest for you to stay inside the police station."
"Besides, the murderer's original intention was to frame you. If you go out now, it will alert the enemy."
"That makes sense. I'll cooperate with you then." Lu Jianing stood up obediently and said, "By the way, Captain He, I haven't been feeling well since this morning. It may be because I didn't sleep well last night. If the police still want to detain me, please find a doctor to check on me."
"Yeah." He Qifeng agreed.
-
Time in the supervision room was always boring. Lu Jianing lay on the bed, swinging his legs.
Suddenly, a greeting came from outside the door.
"Medicine Doctor Jiang?" The man guarding Lu Jianing outside the door was surprised. "Why are you here?"
Jiang Xingye: "Captain He said Xiaolu has a fever, let me check it out."
"Okay," said the detective on duty outside the door, "I'll open the door for you right away."
"Why don't you go and do your work first? I'll be here to guard it," said Jiang Xingye, who had just walked in. "A spoiled rich second-generation girl can't run away."
The detective said, "Okay, you keep an eye on it. I just need to go to the restroom."
"Go ahead." Jiang Xingye said generously.
After the young detective walked away, Jiang Xingye gradually approached Lu Jianing.
He sat directly on Lu Jianing's bed: "Boss, how does it feel to enter the supervision room for the first time?"
"Not bad," Lu Jianing said lazily, "This is the first time I've felt what it's like to sit across from someone in an interrogation room."
"I finally understand how scary you were when you were sitting there before." Jiang Xingye said, "You slammed the table and glared at people from time to time. I thought you were a cannibal."
Lu Jianing didn't have time to chat with him. She stood up, looked around, took out a sharp needle-shaped iron object from her heel, and handed it to Jiang Xingye.
"Before the murderer knocked me out, I stepped on his foot with my heel, so if nothing unexpected happens, there should be biological information left by the murderer on it."
"Go get tested, and let me know if you have any news."
Jiang Xingye played with it in his hand for a while and said, "Boss, you are awesome. You were able to record and collect biological information left by the murderer in such an emergency."
Hearing Jiang Xingye's perfunctory praise, Lu Jianing's hair stood on end.
"I'm warning you, don't tell on me secretly." Lu Jianing threatened.
Jiang Xingye: "I know. If your master knew that you used yourself as bait to investigate the case, he would skin you alive."
"But I'm curious, Boss, why would you take this risk without knowing the conditions?"
Lu Jianing explained: "It's not like I know nothing. When I was planning to check all the KTVs and bars in Linjiang, I was prepared for a surprise attack."
"But I didn't expect that they attacked me by surprise and just framed me as a suspect."
Jiang Xingye was alert for a second: "Boss, what are you talking about? Could it be that you suspect this case is related to the one you are investigating..."
"Yes," Lu Jianing thought for a moment and said, "But what I can't figure out is, did they frame me because they thought I told He Qifeng the clues? Or because of my appearance, some wealthy businessmen in Linjiang City couldn't sit still? Or because I happened to appear at the crime scene?"
"The first two may have been premeditated," Jiang Xingye said, "but the last one may have just happened by chance."
"Without evidence, all reasoning is subjective," Lu Jianing ordered, "Quickly extract the DNA from it, and once we are sure we have some clues, give it to He Qifeng."
"Why don't you just hand it over to Captain He?" Jiang Xingye said, "Don't be fooled by Captain He's cold attitude. He is very decisive when handling cases."
"It's because he is so unclear that I can't just give it to him," Lu Jianing said, "There are some clues that we must know. If only He Qifeng knows some clues, he may not be willing to share them with our second team."
"If you don't want to share it, then don't share it. After all, this is a criminal investigation case in Linjiang City, and it's their responsibility," Jiang Xingye said, "Why are you trying to steal their work?"
"If you think it's related to the previous case, just listen to the conclusion of the case."
Lu Jianing suddenly remembered something and asked, "Did you find the wine distribution point I asked you to check?"
Jiang Xingye said: "We found out that this batch of red wine was distributed from Haoming Winery and was mainly supplied to Zuimeng Bar. This is indeed the kind of wine used at the Zhao family's banquet, but the strange thing is that this seems to be the first time that Haoming Winery has supplied it to a banquet."
"Haoming Winery?" Lu Jianing thought for a while and said, "Ji Ruxian's winery?"
Jiang Xingye: “Yes.”
"This is difficult. I have a grudge against him."
Jiang Xingye: "What's wrong?"
"I've scolded him before at Zhao Mogan's banquet, and embarrassed him in front of the media," Lu Jianing said, "I'm afraid it will take some effort to get close to him again."
"But that's not the point," Lu Jianing said. "The point is that this case must be solved quickly."
"You're already in police station, what should you do?" Jiang Xingye said.
"Don't worry about me. He Qifeng locked me up, probably not because he really suspected me of being the murderer. He was probably worried that this murder was a warning to me." Lu Jianing curled his lips, "After all, after I came to Linjiang, I was too high-profile and made too many enemies. Too many people wanted to drive me out of Linjiang."
"However, I am not someone they can easily drive away. The previous case could not be concluded. Those unscrupulous businessmen in Linjiang who like to walk on the bottom line of the law will not have peace for a moment."
