Chapter 37 Chapter 37
"You are blackmailing me." The person involved roared. This book is exclusively compiled for you by the LK team
"Don't worry, I won't seek compensation from you myself. We can go through legal procedures." Lu Jianing assured, "It will be absolutely open and transparent, but it will be a little troublesome."
Lu Jianing smiled slightly: "But, what I am most afraid of is trouble."
The person concerned glanced at the several strong men around Lu Jianing and said, "What about them? If they hit me, I will fall down too."
"I thought of this, too," Lu Jianing picked up a large box from beside Jiang Yubai, "There are several million dollars in it. If anyone doesn't cooperate and gets beaten by my bodyguards, I can give you compensation."
"But I don't accept extortion or blackmail. All injuries will be determined by the professional doctors I bring with me."
"Lu Jianing——" The person involved was so angry that he couldn't speak.
"Don't be angry. I just ask you to cooperate with the police in their investigation. Is it necessary for you to fight with me? It's just a waste of time." Lu Jianing said.
"After we are questioned, will they really let us go?" asked the person involved.
Lu Jianing: "I'm not a traitor, why are you being detained?"
After saying that, without waiting for others to react, Lu Jianing arranged again: "Jiang Yubai, watch them. If they don't cooperate, they will pay you. You're welcome."
"Okay, Mr. Lu." Jiang Yubai agreed.
Lu Jianing closed his eyes and quietly stepped aside.
Lu Jianing yawned out of boredom after waiting for so long.
I don’t know how much time had passed, but He Qifeng, who had finished checking, came over.
He glanced at the well-known "troublemakers" who were lining up in an orderly manner to record their statements, and said, "Xiao Bai said that you were able to control the situation?"
"Yes," Lu Jianing said, "To deal with those who are disobedient, you must first use gangster tactics to scare them into submission."
"Did you scare others like this when you were in the police force?" He Qifeng asked.
Lu Jianing was puzzled. Why did he always like to ask her this question?
Is her acting really so superb?
"Uncle Master, are you kidding me?" Lu Jianing looked up at him. "If I scare them in my police uniform, wouldn't that be considered an abuse of power? If the police department leaders knew about this, they would eat me alive."
"What about you now?" He Qifeng asked.
"Now they don't know I'm a police officer. Even if I scare them, at most I'm just being arrogant because of my wealth and power, and it doesn't count as bringing shame to the police force," Lu Jianing said nonchalantly. "Even if they sue me in court afterwards, the most I can do is pay some compensation for mental damages."
"However, even for the sake of future business cooperation, I don't think they would dare to really break up with me."
"Why are you so sure?" He Qifeng asked curiously.
"Because in Linjiang, they are the idle rich second generation, and I am the hardworking first generation entrepreneur," Lu Jianing said, "The essential difference between them and me is that I am benchmarking against their parents. If they mess up the subsequent cooperation with me, their parents will definitely not let them go."
"Yeah." He Qifeng nodded.
Worried that He Qifeng would overthink it, Lu Jianing continued to explain for them: "But you can't blame them. They are a bunch of spoiled young ladies and young masters. It's the first time in their lives that they have witnessed a murder case. I guess they are scared out of their wits."
"Especially, the murderer this time is very likely still at the scene."
"You invited those people here not just to scare them, right?" He Qifeng said.
"Yes," Lu Jianing had nothing to hide from He Qifeng. She said, "The people I brought with me are all good fighters. Even if the murderer is a martial artist, they may not be unable to take him down."
Seeing He Qifeng's worry, Lu Jianing continued to add: "Captain He, don't worry. They have fought against me more or less before. I know their strength."
"I don't need to worry about your people." He Qifeng said.
"Then why did you come to see me?" Lu Jianing said with a malicious smile, "You are not coming to me for help because you can't solve the case, right, Captain He."
"Do you think it's possible?" He Qifeng asked back.
"It's not impossible. You've hit a bottleneck in solving the case, so it's normal for you to ask me for help," Lu Jianing kept talking. "After all, I'm also an expert in criminal investigation."
He Qifeng was too lazy to talk nonsense with her, so he said bluntly: "Jiang Xingye said that he dissected Lu Fan's body and found hydrogen cyanide residue in his mouth. He also found that Lu Fan's real cause of death was suffocation. It can be determined that hydrogen cyanide was the real cause of his death."
"Then what about the knife mark on his neck?" Lu Jianing asked with a frown.
"Jiang Xingye conducted a comparative analysis of the blood around the crime scene and found that the blood outside was brighter in color, while the blood inside was flowing in a dark red color. It can be determined that the deceased had his throat cut when he was close to death," He Qifeng stated, "So, Lu Fan's death was not caused by excessive blood loss, but suffocation."
Lu Jianing guessed what He Qifeng was going to say next, and she asked, "Are you saying that there were two people who wanted to kill the deceased?"
"I have this suspicion. After all, if it was the same person, there would be no need to kill him twice," He Qifeng said without hiding anything. "Also, I suspect that these two people probably don't know each other."
Lu Jianing said, "Yeah, it's just as I thought."
Lu Jianing thought for a while and continued, "When I was checking whether the second victim, Li Li, was really dead, I smelled a strong smell of bitter almonds in his mouth. So, I suspect that Li Li's death was also caused by hydrogen cyanide."
"Jiang Xingye is currently performing an autopsy on Li Li's body. The specific cause of death should be known in another half an hour." He Qifeng said.
Lu Jianing stared at him with interest. She teased, "Since Captain He has already investigated everything, why did you ask me to come?"
"I came here, in addition to telling you the details of the case, I also want to tell you one thing." He Qifeng said.
"What's the matter?" Lu Jianing asked.
"Your company's computers were hacked into the intranet by hackers." He Qifeng said.
If He Qifeng hadn't reminded him, Lu Jianing would have almost forgotten about it.
Jiang Yubai is a computer expert, and she originally wanted him to help find the source of the hacker. I just thought that today is Song Gengli’s birthday gift. If something really happens here today, he might need help.
So she called her bodyguard, coach and Jiang Yubai to the scene early in the morning. This book is exclusively compiled for you by the LK team
Because of this, she had to hand over the hacker investigation to a street police station in Linjiang.
However, Lu Jianing did not expect that He Qifeng actually took his casual words to heart and helped him investigate. stand up
"What are the results of the investigation?" Lu Jianing asked, "Is it the Ji Group?"
"No." He Qifeng said quickly, "It's a company in the imperial capital."
"Imperial capital?" Lu Jianing was a little surprised.
How did her small company near the river get involved in the capital?
Moreover, how could the unrelated Didu Company know that she would come to Longhai Deyou Hotel to celebrate Song Gengli's birthday?
"Yes," He Qifeng nodded, "We haven't found the specific source, but we can be sure that the network address target is in the imperial capital."
Lu Jianing asked doubtfully, "Is there a possibility that the network address was forged for anti-detection purposes?"
"It's possible," He Qifeng said, "Some highly skilled hackers can indeed change their IP addresses to anywhere in the world."
"Then Captain He, your information is of no use." Lu Jianing said.
"It's useful." He Qifeng said briefly.
The impatient Lu Jianing gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle Master, can you please finish it all at once? Don't wait for me to ask."
"This means that the person who sent you the message has nothing to do with the murderers of these two cases," He Qifeng said, "and it is just a coincidence that Lu Fan works in your company."
"Then what was the purpose of this hacker breaking into our company's intranet and hacking into our company's programs?" Lu Jianing asked, "To irritate me or provoke me?"
"Well, he probably wanted to see how you would respond," He Qifeng continued, "In other words, the hacker must have known what you were investigating, so he deliberately provoked you and asked you to come here to test you."
Lu Jianing was shocked.
She couldn't help but think of the phone call Ji Ruxian made to her a few days ago.
Is it him?
Does he know his identity?
That shouldn't be the case. Could it be that when she was riding a motorcycle to catch Ji Yao, Ji Yao saw her face?
That’s not right… Ji Ruxian never went to the prison to see Ji Yao.
So when was it exposed?
Without time to think about it, Lu Jianing looked around and said, "Captain He, if it's really as you think, that person should be staring at me all the time."
"Well, most likely." He Qifeng answered affirmatively.
Lu Jianing's eyes lingered on various places in the venue.
If the person who wanted to expose her identity was really Ji Ruxian, then he would definitely be hiding in some corner observing her.
But from the time she entered the scene until now, she hasn't seen Ji Ruxian once.
It can be seen that he did not come to this birthday party.
So, if he wanted to monitor her behavior, there were only two ways. One was to retrieve the surveillance footage of Longhai Deyou Hotel; the other was to send a trusted person to synchronize her video throughout the process.
The first method obviously won't work because it's too blatant. Ji Ruxian shouldn't be stupid enough to leave criminal information so blatantly.
Then there is only the second possibility, Ji Ruxian sent someone over.
But who are the people sent by Ji Ruxian?
As the organizer of the birthday party, Song Gengli could indeed provide her with a list of all the people entering the venue, but how would she know which person the name corresponded to?
If she asked one by one, holding up the names, wouldn't it be too blatant?
She had to come up with a solution, a thoughtful solution that fits her personality...
As if he was frightened by He Qifeng's news, Lu Jianing asked: "Uncle Master, the incident I just caused should not have been exposed, right?" This book is exclusively compiled for you by the LK team
Ask for help from your uncle master, not from team congratulations.
He Qifeng has become accustomed to Lu Jianing's double standards.
He said calmly: "It's quite natural, and it fits your current arrogant and domineering rich second-generation personality."
