Chapter 48 Chapter 48
Lu Jianing remained silent, and Jiang Yubai couldn't guess what she was thinking for a moment.
"We'll talk about the rest later," Lu Jianing said suddenly. She put the broken button recording device in her hand into Jiang Yubai's hand, "Remember to change to a real-time monitor next time."
Jiang Yubai suggested: "Do we need to ask Jiang Xingye to extract the fingerprints from it?"
"No need," Lu Jianing said, "Since that person was able to find this button recorder, then when he crushed him, there would definitely be no fingerprints left."
"Besides..." Lu Jianing stared at the front in a daze, "I didn't record any useful information. It's meaningless to know who crushed it."
The case of Shen Junzhu's disappearance is still at a standstill.
Although the murderer in Song Gengli's case was caught, she always felt that the matter was not over yet.
Her brother had reached some kind of deal with the suspect she suspected...
Everything was almost a mess.
Thinking of this, Lu Jianing stopped and pinched his eyebrows in pain.
Jiang Yubai followed her and stopped: "Boss, are you okay?"
Lu Jianing: "It's okay, I just feel a little tired recently."
"Do you want to take a break? Working on several cases non-stop is unbearable for anyone," Jiang Yubai said.
"Okay," Lu Jianing sighed, "I'll sort out my thoughts these few days. I'll leave the company and police matters to you."
Jiang Yubai: "Yeah."
"By the way, did Ji Ruxian have the habit of holding competitions in the past?" Lu Jianing asked.
"Yes," Jiang Yubai said, "As far as I know, he holds a competition every spring, covering Taekwondo, Judo, Sanda, etc."
"Spring?" Lu Jianing asked, "Did he do it once this spring?"
"Yes, I have done it, but it was Taekwondo."
"We just did it once, and we're doing it again," Lu Jianing joked, "Ji Ruxian is quite rich this year."
Jiang Yubai: "Do you need me to investigate further?"
"No need," Lu Jianing said, "Ji Ruxian is going to hold a judo competition, so we can go and join in the fun in a few days."
—
At night, Lu Jianing came out of the bathroom holding a red can of Coke.
She was wearing a champagne-colored suspender pajamas, the smooth silk texture sticking to her skin.
She poured the Coke into the goblet on the bedside table.
The smooth deep red liquid swayed along the wall of the cup to the bottom of the cup, and the slightly pungent smell of cola rushed into Lu Jianing's nose.
She thought for a moment, then slowly opened the bedroom door while holding the wine glass.
Immediately, an entire wall of photos appeared inside the cabinet.
Various photos, reports and files are intertwined, as if forming a huge web that connects all the clues.
The most eye-catching ones are the three numbers and five Chinese characters printed in red - 615 mass murder case.
When thinking about this case, Lu Jianing's first impression was darkness.
Four years ago, when Lu Jianing was still in college, a number of serial murders continued to occur in the imperial capital.
It was the beginning of the year, when there was the most personnel movement. As a result, the dead bodies of varying degrees were found in major shopping malls, subway entrances, train stations and other crowded places.
Some of them were burned to death, some were suffocated to death, and some were tortured to death...
It can be said that the ways of death are not the same, and each is tragic in its own way.
Everyone in the police station worked overtime and was exhausted just to solve the case as soon as possible. This book is exclusively compiled for you by the LK team
The result was nothing.
In the end, it was her master Lin Anyu who discovered some clues and eventually identified a murder gang.
They were an extremely meticulous criminal gang. They acted cleanly and efficiently, making it almost impossible to find any evidence against them.
Even the professional criminal police who had been observing them for many days were unable to do anything about them.
Later, after several high-ranking officials in the bureau discussed it, they decided to send a stranger to infiltrate the gang and proactively discover clues.
This person must not only have a fresh face, but also be able to act and have the psychological quality to remain calm in the face of danger.
Coincidentally, Lu Jianing, who was interning at the General Administration at the time, met this condition perfectly.
This book is exclusively compiled for you by the LK team
After a whole year of unremitting efforts, she and Jiang Yubai, Jiang Xingye and Shen Junzhu finally cooperated tacitly and wiped out the murderous gang.
Even their "leaders" could not escape the law.
As the main person in charge of this case, Lu Jianing was naturally awarded awards such as outstanding individual and outstanding team.
For a time, their legend spread throughout all the major police departments. They all said that there was an amazing newcomer in the Criminal Police Team of the Imperial Capital Headquarters who won the third-class merit before she even graduated.
Especially since she is a girl, the news of her third-class merit is even more shocking.
At that time, all kinds of messy legends about her occupied the police headlines for several days. Everyone was curious about what she looked like and how she solved the case.
But to no avail. No matter how they investigated, they could not find any results.
The only clue available is that she is a talent secretly trained in the police academy—her name is "Wu Jiajia".
This "Wu Jiajia" was naturally a fake name she used to conceal her identity.
The purpose was just to prevent her father and brother Luke from finding out that she had dropped out of the foreign school and enrolled in the police academy.
Because they never agreed with her applying to the police academy.
Lu Jianing looked at everything in the cabinet, and the goblet in his hand shook unconsciously.
All of her legendary honors almost stopped three years ago.
A month after she was awarded the third-class merit, the police station received a letter.
It says that the real mastermind is at large, and if you really want to catch the murderer, you need to meet him at a designated location.
He also specifically named the criminal police officer named "Wu Jiajia" who must go.
Unfortunately, the day before she received the letter, her father suddenly fainted and lost consciousness on the spot. He was forcibly sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.
Although the problem was not serious, he was saved after an hour in the emergency room.
But this was the first time Lu Jianing encountered a matter of life and death, and she was still a little scared.
Even if her father has a nanny and a personal caregiver watching over him, nothing serious should happen.
But for the sake of safety, Lu Jianing resolutely asked the police for half a month's leave to take care of her seriously ill father.
During the half-month vacation when she "dropped the burden" to concentrate on taking care of the patient, Shen Junzhu, under the name of "Wu Jiajia", attended the invitation on her behalf, which everyone thought was a Hongmen Banquet.
It was also because of that banquet that Shen Junzhu seemed to have suddenly disappeared out of thin air. No one saw him alive, and no one saw his body after he died.
All that was related to her was the only videotape that suddenly appeared at the door of the police station.
In that videotape, Shen Junzhu was hung in a dark warehouse. Her exposed skin had been tortured to the point of being unrecognizable. Her face was pale and lifeless. Blood flowed from the wounds on her face, forming drops of blood in the air.
Later, when Lu Jianing came back from accompanying the patient, they found out the exact location of the warehouse.
But no matter how they investigated, all the evidence could only prove that Shen Junzhu had been abused there.
As to where her body was, or whether she was still alive, they had no idea.
This became an unsolved case in their police station.
Lu Jianing kept wondering, if her father had not been sick and hospitalized, would everything be different?
The person who went to meet the person who reported the case was her; the person who was kidnapped and whose life or death was unknown was her.
As for Shen Junzhu...will her whereabouts also be unknown?
Lu Jianing picked up the goblet and took a big gulp. The cool cola flowed down his neck and into his body, and the feeling of bubbles came from all directions of his chest.
Lu Jianing covered his nose and burped.
Later, she searched for clues day and night, and finally half a year later, she found the reporter who sent the letter to the police station in a deep forest...
By the time she and her men arrived, the person who reported the case was already dead, and the cause of death was suicide by taking poison.
No one asked, but Lu Jianing found a map of Linjiang in his house, with various routes clearly marked on it.
Although she didn't understand what the twists and turns drawn above meant, she was sure that the source of this case must be in Linjiang.
The person who kidnapped Shen Junzhu must be related to someone in Linjiang.
So she hid it from everyone and took the initiative to transfer here, just to investigate the truth of the matter.
When she first settled in Linjiang, she was like a headless fly, attending banquets everywhere, just to establish her own persona, spread her reputation of being idle, and let people let down their guard against her, so as to obtain clues to the case.
But after a whole month, she didn't get any useful clues and was still standing still.
It was not until she smelled a red wine called Eleanor (Dark Night Rose) at Zhao Mogan's banquet that her memory gradually awakened.
Maybe it was because she was spoiled since childhood, so she has a unique sensitivity to various smells since childhood.
Many smells can leave a very deep impression in her mind after she smells them just once.
Eleanor (Dark Night Rose) in particular has a red wine aroma that is very easy to leave a deep impression on people.
So what she was most sure of was this red wine - she had only smelled it in the home of the person who reported the case.
And the person who reported the case must have drunk it frequently, so that even if there was no red wine bottle to be found in the whole house, the rich aroma of Eleanor (Dark Night Rose) would linger for a long time.
Because of this, Lu Jianing always had a hunch that this red wine must be an important clue to solving the disappearance of Shen Junzhu. If she continued to investigate along this clue, she would definitely find Shen Junzhu.
Now, this clue points to Ji Ruxian, so he must be involved in Shen Junzhu's disappearance. This book is exclusively compiled for you by the LK team
The case of Song Gengli that happened just a few days ago also showed signs of Ji Ruxian's involvement.
Even if he doesn't come in person, he will definitely find a way to directly participate in the crime.
Therefore, to sum up, she felt that Ji Ruxian was the key to solving these two cases.
Ring, ring, ring——
The sudden ringing of a cell phone broke the silence of the night, and the harsh and piercing sound spread throughout Lu Jianing's room.
Lu Jianing shook the goblet in his hand, then glanced over calmly.
On the screen of the mobile phone lying on the sofa, a person's name was clearly displayed - He Qifeng.
Lu Jianing ignored him. She calmly withdrew her gaze and continued to look at the various photos in the cabinet.
She smiled brightly: "Eleanor (Dark Night Rose), what a good name."
After that, she raised the goblet in her hand and said to herself: "It's just that roses have thorns, and sometimes they can hurt yourself."
-
Ji Ruxian's banquet will be held a week later.
Early in the morning, the sunlight shone straight in through the thin white curtains.
The warm sunlight shone on Lu Jianing's face. Feeling the "call" of the sunlight, Lu Jianing, who was curled up on the sofa and sleeping, was disturbed. She stretched herself and the high-heeled glass in her hand fell to the ground.
Papers were scattered all over the clean ground, with all kinds of symbols drawn on them, looking like a pile of disorganized scribbles.
Jiang Yubai, who was walking slowly outside the house, saw all this and shook his head helplessly.
He leaned over and picked up the papers scattered on the ground one by one, complaining as he did so: "Boss, you usually just drink Coke, why are you trying to be elegant and use a goblet?"
Lu Jianing asked dazedly, "How is Ji Ruxian's preparation for the game going?"
"As you requested, I have registered you," Jiang Yubai said, "but I used a pseudonym."
"What's your name?" Lu Jianing asked.
"Wu Jiajia." Jiang Yubai said.
Hearing this name, Lu Jianing immediately sobered up a lot. She opened her eyes and chuckled: "You signed up with this name, are you planning to scare Ji Ruxian and the others to death?"
"Let's give it a try. What if Ji Ruxian is really guilty and reveals his true colors?" Jiang Yubai said indifferently.
"Okay," Lu Jianing suddenly stood up and sat up. "If you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door. If they really killed Shen Junzhu, the three words "Wu Jiajia" are enough to scare the murderers to death."
"Yeah." Jiang Yubai responded, "That's my goal too."
"Mr. Xiaolu, the high-end clothing prepared for you has arrived at the door." A middle-aged man walked in from the door and said.
"Push it up to me." Lu Jianing said.
"Yes." The middle-aged man had just answered when two young girls dressed as nannies walked in from the side pushing racks of clothes.
There are a lot of clothes on the shelves, almost all kinds of clothes in different colors are included.
Lu Jianing pointed casually: "These are all decided by me, right?"
"Yes, Mr. Xiaolu." The middle-aged man answered quickly.
Lu Jianing stood up from the clothes rack. While looking at the clothes, she said casually, "Okay, I'll take all of them. The money will be deducted from the card I recharged at your company before."
"Okay, thank you Mr. Xiaolu," the middle-aged man half bowed and said politely, "I wish you a happy life."
When the middle-aged man and the girls he brought disappeared around the corner, Jiang Yubai said, "If you let the brand come and go as they please, aren't you afraid that there might be Ji Ruxian's undercover agents in there?"
"What are you afraid of?" Lu Jianing looked through the clothes on the hanger. "Since I came to Linjiang, there have been paparazzi and surveillance cameras from my industry peers squatting outside my house."
"If I don't allow these partners to come and go freely, it will seem that my management is very strict."
"They will think there is something fishy going on."
Jiang Yubai walked to the window, he turned slightly sideways and used the wall to shield his body.
His eyes scanned the window's field of vision a few times.
Just as Lu Jianing said, there were “crowded” tall trees outside her house, and it really looked like there were quite a few people there.
"Don't you feel uncomfortable with so many people watching you?" Jiang Yubai said casually.
"It's awkward. I want to punch them one by one," Lu Jianing said unceremoniously. "They dare to spread gossip about me for others to talk about. They think I have a very good temper to be able to endure it."
"Then why did you endure it?" Jiang Yubai closed his chest and slightly supported his body with the wall, "This is not like your character."
"I'm just thinking about catching a big one," Lu Jianing said indifferently, "When they have accumulated enough materials, I will report them directly and get a lot of compensation."
Jiang Yubai smiled faintly and did not make any comment on Lu Jianing's words.
During the conversation, Lu Jianing picked up the light green dress and asked, "How about this one?"
Jiang Yubai stared at the clothes and asked, "What effect do you want to achieve?"
When normal people choose clothes, they first pay attention to various superficial issues such as the style and color of the clothes.
But what Jiang Yubai asked was the function of clothes.
Lu Jianing burst out laughing.
As if to say - you still understand me.
Lu Jianing expressed his needs without hesitation: "I need a piece of clothing that is bold, eye-catching, and uninhibited, preferably in a color that people can remember at first sight."
Jiang Yubai casually pointed to a goose yellow dress and asked, "How about that one?"
"You have good taste." Lu Jianing praised casually as he lifted up her skirt.
Jiang Yubai stared at her with interest: "Wait a minute, Boss, you chose such conspicuous clothes, you are not planning to do something."
Lu Jianing took the clothes off the clothes rack and promised, "As long as Ji Ruxian doesn't cause any trouble, I promise that today will be safe and sound."
Jiang Yubai didn't know how much he believed. He went around to the door and said, "Change your clothes first. I'll drive the car over and wait for you at the door."
"Okay." Lu Jianing agreed.
-
Lu Jianing took a while to change her clothes, and by the time she and Jiang Yubai arrived, most of the guests invited by Ji Ruxian had already arrived.
They lined up obediently behind the two people to enter.
When it was their turn, Lu Jianing realized that it was Feng Ji who was checking tickets at the door.
Ji Ruxian's secretary.
Ji Ruxian really trusts him.
Feng Ji said politely, "Mr. Xiaolu, you are here."
"Well," Lu Jianing was unusually polite, "yeah, I heard Uncle Ji was going to hold a competition, and I wanted to join in the fun."
Feng Jiduo asked, "Does Mr. Xiaolu also know judo?"
"I know a little bit. I learned it from my teacher when I was in school. My brother knows it." Lu Jianing said.
"Why didn't you learn it later?" Feng Ji asked again.
"It's too bitter. I was born to enjoy happiness in this world," Lu Jianing smiled, "I can't stand the slightest bitterness."
Feng Ji obviously believed it. He measured his body and said, "Mr. Xiaolu, please——"
Lu Jianing paused for a few seconds, as if observing something, and then she said, "Am I feeling wrong? The deputy secretary seemed to be much more polite to me after being slapped by my brother."
Feng Ji bowed his head and said respectfully: "I am just a secretary, representing President Ji's face, so naturally I am more polite to everyone."
Lu Jianin said, "My brother acted impulsively. I apologize to you on his behalf."
Feng Ji immediately said, "No, I dare not apologize."
She didn't know if it was Lu Jianing's illusion, but she felt that Feng Ji was obviously a little scared when he said this...
What is he afraid of?
Her brother?
Lu Jianing had no results, so she could only nod and say, "Thank you."
Feng Ji: “You’re welcome.”
After expressing her thanks, Lu Jianing walked in slowly, holding up her skirt.
Ji Ruxian's yard is very large, with a lot of green vegetation. Various green vegetation and red flowers of various colors are dotted together. Looking up, it feels full of vitality.
Jiang Yubai observed the attire of the guests coming and going. Each of them was dressed neatly and cleanly, and almost no one was dressed as fancy as Lu Jianing.
Jiang Yubai asked: "Boss, you seem to be too conspicuous."
"That's good," Lu Jianing said, "This is in line with my character."
Glancing at the two familiar faces not far away, Lu Jianing frowned: "Why is He Qifeng here?"
Jiang Yubai followed Lu Jianing's gaze.
It’s really He Qifeng.
"Boss, do you need me to ask them why they came?" Jiang Yubai asked.
"Don't bother. I'll go over and ask myself."
Lu Jianing just walked over, and He Qifeng, who was talking to someone else, looked over.
"Why are you here?" He Qifeng asked.
"I should be the one asking you this question." Lu Jianing smiled calmly, as if he was the host.
"Ji Ruxian invited all of our police officers to watch the match," He Qifeng said truthfully, "and said that we can come here not only to watch an unparalleled judo match, but also to maintain public order. The main goal is to not waste resources."
"Old fox," Lu Jianing complained silently, "He's quite calculating, and he's even taking advantage of the criminal police team."
"What are you doing here?" He Qifeng asked back.
"Just to join in the fun." Lu Jianing explained everything.
As if digging up an old grudge, He Qifeng said, "I called you, why didn't you answer?"
Lu Jianing: "I'm sorry, I usually don't answer strange calls."
She didn't say that she didn't answer his calls to avoid his scolding.
He Qifeng stared at her without saying anything, and Bai Yunan beside him asked with surprise: "Boss Xiaolu, Secretary Jiang? What a coincidence, we meet again."
Jiang Yubai smiled gently and said, "Yes, what a coincidence."
Bai Yunan said heartlessly: "We have met several times, and each time it was at the crime scene. This is the first time we meet at a non-crime scene."
"What do you want to say?" Lu Jianing said first, "Are you trying to say that you and your team are unlucky?"
