Chapter 32 Chapter 32
After that, Lu Jianing did not forget to throw the question to He Qifeng. She said slowly: "Am I right, Captain He?"
He Qifeng: "Who have you offended?"
"That's not the case," Lu Jianing wanted to continue, "it's just..."
He Qifeng: "If you don't have it, don't say discouraging words."
There is some truth to that.
"I……"
Lu Jianing didn't expect that He Qifeng would shut up her words that were intended to divert attention with just two sentences. What was she about to say to anger him?
How come I forgot everything when He Qifeng interrupted me?
Lu Jianing sorted out his thoughts.
Why... did she suddenly start saying discouraging things?
Jiang Yubai saw that the situation was not right, so he quickly changed the subject: "Captain He, didn't a murder just happen outside? Let's go out and take the statement now."
Bai Yunan was puzzled: "There's no one in this room, why are you going out?"
"Our Xiaolu just said that the air here is not very fresh and her nose hurts from breathing it." Jiang Yu lied without blushing, "So she has to go out and breathe some fresh air."
"Yeah, the air here is not very fresh," Lu Jianing covered his nose and said, "Jiang Yubai, ask the store manager to bring in a few more pots of green plants next time."
Jiang Yubai: "Okay."
Bai Yunan smiled awkwardly and said bluntly, "Why don't you just put on the ventilator?"
Lu Jianing was stunned for a moment, then he told Jiang Yubai, "Ask Sigmund if he has a portable ventilator. If he does, prepare one for me."
"Yes." Jiang Yubai responded quickly.
"It would be best if it had a refreshing herbal scent." Lu Jianing arranged.
"Okay." Jiang Yubai agreed.
Bai Yunan looked embarrassed:
The requirements are quite high.
Noticing that the question had gone off topic, Bai Yunan said, "Mr. Xiaolu, let's take notes."
"Okay, let's go."
Lu Jianing said this, but his body did not move. This book is exclusively compiled for you by the LK team
He Qifeng stared at Lu Jianing silently for a while. Finally, he noticed that Lu Jianing had been deliberately using his body to cover something.
He slowly moved his gaze behind the fluttering curtains.
At night, the moonlight is drifting, and the scattered silver light outside the window cannot illuminate the entire room, so the shadows inside the room can only be reflected on the dark gray mirror between them.
Noticing He Qifeng's gaze, Lu Jianing silently shuddered inwardly.
She cautiously glanced at the curtains fluttering not far away, and saw Jiang Xingye wearing white sneakers and struggling to do the "swan step" at the bottom of the curtains.
Lu Jianing felt his eyes go dark.
He Qifeng discovered Jiang Xingye?
If He Qifeng was the only one at the scene, she wouldn't mind letting Jiang Xingye come out and face her face to face.
It’s just that… there are a lot of people here right now…
If her relationship with Jiang Xingye was discovered by someone other than He Qifeng, it would disrupt her plans.
But... there are not many forensic doctors in Linjiang City, and the only reliable one is Jiang Xingye.
If we continue to waste time here with He Qifeng and the others, Jiang Xingye will never be able to come out, and the progress of solving the case will be slowed down...
Caught in a dilemma, Lu Jianing felt that the breakthrough still lay with He Qifeng.
Lu Jianing stared at He Qifeng and smiled slyly, then crossed his arms over his chest and twisted the facts: "Captain He, I'm so good-looking, you've been staring at me for a long time since just now."
Sure enough, with just these few words, everyone's eyes and attention were focused on He Qifeng.
"I'll give you a chance. You can interview me alone." Lu Jianing said with his head tilted.
Bai Yunan turned his head in shock and looked at He Qifeng beside him, as if he was worried that he would not be able to control his emotions in a place with so many people around.
Bai Yunan said considerately, "Captain He, let me pick it."
"Yeah." He Qifeng nodded.
"I refuse," Lu Jianing said unreasonably, "If it's not him, I won't tell you a word."
After hearing this, He Qifeng arranged with the people behind him: "You go somewhere else, Bai Yunan and I will be enough here."
As soon as He Qifeng finished speaking, the people around him dispersed.
He Qifeng considerately closed the door, as if to prevent others from hearing their conversation.
Lu Jianing pointed at Bai Yunan and said, "He should go out too."
"He doesn't need it." He Qifeng, who hadn't turned around yet, knew tacitly who the "he" she was referring to was, and he said immediately.
Lu Jianing sat steadily on the sofa and said provocatively: "Then don't blame me for not cooperating with you."
Unexpectedly, He Qifeng didn't buy her trick at all and asked, "Besides the four of us, is there anyone else in your room?"
Lu Jianing groaned, and sat up straight: "No."
"How could there be outsiders here?"
He Qifeng ignored her: "Bai Yunan, have you called the forensic doctor?"
"I called," Bai Yunan answered quickly, "but forensic doctor Jiang might have something else to do, so he didn't answer. I sent him another WeChat message, and he said he was stuck in traffic and would be there soon."
He Qifeng: "Call him now."
Bai Yunan asked uncertainly: "Now?"
He Qifeng: “Yeah.”
Lu Jianing glanced at Jiang Xingye in the corner.
Lu Jianing tried hard to suppress her panic. She stared at them and said, "Don't be in a hurry to call. We are recording your statements."
He Qifeng: "Can two of us take your statement now?"
Lu Jianing compromised: "Anytime."
"Captain He, let's record the confession first." Jiang Yubai agreed with a smile, "We have a meeting later, so there's no need to rush..."
Before he finished speaking, a melodious song suddenly rang out in the quiet private room.
Soon, the singing disappeared amid a burst of chaotic crashing sounds.
Immediately, realizing something, Lu Jianing helplessly covered his face with his hands.
Jiang Xingye, doesn’t his phone go on silent during non-working hours? When did he turn off the mute?
"Captain He, did you hear the sound just now?" Bai Yunan asked vigilantly.
"Yeah." He Qifeng looked towards the curtains.
Bai Yunan followed his gaze, and as soon as his eyes focused, he suddenly opened his eyes wide.
"Medical Doctor Jiang?" Bai Yunan couldn't believe it. "Why are you here?"
Jiang Xingye rushed out from behind the curtains and hurriedly caught the cell phone that was rolling in the air.
It didn't look like answering a phone call, but more like answering a hot potato.
"Why am I here?" Jiang Xingye stood up straight and smiled awkwardly. Then his expression became serious for a second. He praised, "That's a good question."
Jiang Xingye cast a look at Lu Jianing for help, only to see her sitting on the sofa, trying to cover her face with her hands, not even giving him a spare glance.
He acted as if he didn't care whether he lived or died.
"Ah... I... I..." Jiang Xingye lied randomly, and suddenly he had an idea, imitating what Lu Jianing had just said and lied, "I actually fell in love with Mr. Xiaolu at first sight, so I came here this time - to confess to Mr. Xiaolu!"
Lu Jianing, who has already accepted his fate:!
What bullshit is he talking about?
In just a few minutes, Bai Yunan was shocked again and again: "Forensic Doctor Jiang, do you like Mr. Xiaolu too?"
"Yeah," Jiang Xingye nodded seriously, "I like it very much."
Bai Yunan looked at Lu Jianing beside him uncertainly and murmured, "Is Mr. Xiao Lu so popular?"
One, two like her.
hehe.
Lu Jianing murmured in embarrassment: "This is the first time I know how popular I am."
Suddenly, Bai Yunan realized something and his eyes widened.
Wait... In the current situation, could it be that both Captain He and Forensic Doctor Jiang like General Xiaolu, but General Xiaolu only likes Secretary Jiang who is always with her? This book is exclusively compiled for you by the LK team
Secretary Jiang has someone he likes, so he refuses to obey. Then Xiao Lu gets angry and humiliates himself, and he forces the poor college student Jiang Yubai to stay with him?
The domineering female president forces love.
Lu Jianing didn’t know what Bai Yunan was thinking. She only knew that she was frightened by Bai Yunan’s unscrupulous gaze.
She said with disgust: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"It's okay, it's okay." Bai Yunan explained immediately, "I just feel that Mr. Xiaolu's charm has exploded."
Lu Jianing smiled awkwardly: "Hehe."
Noticing that the atmosphere at the scene could be considered a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment, He Qifeng immediately arranged: "Bai Yunan, you lead Jiang Xingye to the crime scene, and leave the rest to me."
"Are we going to get rid of our love rival now?" Bai Yunan blurted out.
He Qifeng: "Hmm?"
Bai Yunan realized that he had said the wrong thing, and he immediately said, "Sorry, Captain He, I will take Forensic Doctor Jiang to the crime scene now."
After saying that, Bai Yunan led Jiang Xingye out the door quickly.
It was not until He Qifeng, Lu Jianing, and Jiang Yubai were the only ones left in the room that Lu Jianing said lazily, "Master, you really scared me when you came. I thought it was Ji Ruxian."
"I'll go get you some water." Jiang Yubai said, as he had already become accustomed to it.
He Qifeng sat on the sofa not far from Lu Jianing. He asked straight to the point, "When did you come?"
Lu Jianing said truthfully: "Jiang Yubai and I came around 4:30 in the afternoon. Jiang Xingye got off work a little late, probably around 6 in the afternoon."
"You haven't left since you came here?" He Qifeng asked. This book is exclusively compiled for you by the LK team
"No," Lu Jianing paused for a second and continued, "We have been discussing the next plan."
He Qifeng hesitated for a moment, but eventually suppressed his curiosity and asked, "Why did you choose this place?"
"This is my place, I feel safe here." Lu Jianing said frankly.
He Qifeng did not ask any more questions. He handed Lu Jianing his transcript and explained, "The deceased, Lu Fan, was from Linjiang, 27 years old, and his main job was a maintenance worker. His roommate said his girlfriend's birthday is tomorrow, so he came here today to choose a gift. People around him say that he has a stable personality and doesn't seem like the kind of person who would make enemies with others."
Lu Jianing stared at the photo in the notebook and frowned slightly.
It looks familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen it.
"Captain Lu, this person seems to be from our company." Jiang Yubai, who had been silent, spoke at the right time.
"From our company?" Lu Jianing looked up and asked uncertainly, "Are you sure?"
"Yes, this person bumped into me this morning, so I have a very deep impression of him," said Jiang Yubai.
"Go check our company's accommodation records and see who he is staying in the same room with." Lu Jianing said hurriedly.
"No need," He Qifeng refused, "He doesn't live in the company, but in a residential building with one of his high school classmates."
Lu Jianing blurted out in confusion: "The company provides accommodation, and it's free, why don't you stay there?"
"I don't know," He Qifeng said, "That's also one of the things I'm curious about. His family isn't wealthy, so I can't think of any reason why he wouldn't live in the company's free dormitory."
"Have you checked where he lives?" Lu Jianing asked quickly, "Is it possible that he hid something in his rental house?"
