Exposing Li Mang's cover-up for the criminals would require more than Yang Chong's simple words. First, Lin Jing had to uncover the identities of the four true murderers, confirm that Su Run had been abused by them, and overturn Su Run's case, changing the suicide to murder.
In that way, there will be solid evidence that Li Mang is sheltering a criminal and he will receive the punishment he deserves.
When Lin Jing left the building in the morning, he was full of energy. He asked the breakfast shop owner for a bowl of old tofu and wontons, and sat on the street to eat without caring about his image.
Lin Jing was working the day shift today, and since it was Li Mang's first week at the company, he couldn't be absent without a valid reason. After breakfast, Lin Jing returned to the building. As he approached the building, he saw Li Mang coming to work by car.
Li Mang was getting out of the car, his black uniform making him look stern and impartial. Seeing Lin Jing, Li Mang stopped and nodded towards him as a greeting.
He could nod instead of greeting, but Lin Jing couldn't. Lin Jing walked towards Li Mang with a playful smile. When he got in front of Li Mang, Lin Jing rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Boss, you came so early?"
The man in front of me was wearing a wrinkled shirt, but his chin was clean. He looked like a handsome guy, but he always gave people the illusion that he was unkempt.
Li Mang knew that Lin Jing's inner delicacy was as subtle as his unkempt appearance. He had heard that Lin Jing's mind was like a computer, remembering every detail of any case.
Li Mang reached out and tugged at the corner of Lin Jing's shirt, frowning and asking, "Did you not sleep last night? Or did you not shower or change clothes? You're the captain after all, you should at least pay attention to your image."
"Hey! Why bother with appearance? For someone like me who works in the elements and hangs out with murderers and psychopaths all the time, why would I want to look so good? Even if I look good, I still won't have a girlfriend, right?"
When Lin Jing was in school, he had so many girlfriends that his mother worried he'd get into trouble with romantic relationships. Now, after turning 30, he still hasn't found a girlfriend. His mother is so anxious that she goes to the temple every first and fifteenth day of the lunar month to burn incense and pray for a wife.
Li Mang's expression turned mysterious when he heard Lin Jing's words. "Oh? Captain Lin is still single? I've seen Captain Lin, he's quite handsome and should be very popular with the girls."
"Boss, you're wrong. I'm a busy guy. Sometimes I don't go home or take a shower for two or three days. If a girl follows me, I'll ruin her."
"You can't say that." Li Mang thought of Lin Jing's legendary unfathomable background, and couldn't help but have evil thoughts. He said, "I have a useless daughter at home. She's 25 years old this year. Although she's not a fairy-like beauty, she's also a pretty and good girl. How about you come to my house for dinner some other day, and you young people can chat more?"
Lin Jing's heart skipped a beat.
Oh shit!
Old fox!
I want to take him as my son-in-law, he is so beautiful!
Lin Jing pretended not to understand what Li Mang meant. "Hahaha, Boss, you really know how to joke. Your precious daughter is a princess, she's no match for a rough guy like me!"
Li Mang saw that Lin Jing smiled and rejected the marriage proposal. He did not feel unhappy, but he was still somewhat disappointed.
Lin Jing is a good candidate for son-in-law.
"Alright, alright, go in."
"Okay, boss, please."
Lin Jing lagged behind Li Mang by one step. As they walked, they chatted about work.
Li Mang said, "The Gu Qinchuan case has caused a lot of uproar, and many eyes are now staring at us. Captain Lin has always been ruthless in dealing with criminals. I feel very relieved to leave this matter to you."
Lin Jing said half-truthfully, "The Gu family is a wealthy family with only two children, Gu Qinchuan and Gu Qinfeng. With Gu Qinchuan in jail this time, the Gu family is seriously hurt. I'm afraid the Gu family will continue to make trouble, so I'm offering money to keep them quiet."
Lin Jing had been in the industry for so many years that he naturally knew the ins and outs of it. "Paying money to settle the matter" was a rather obscure term.
Li Mang naturally understood what Lin Jing meant. He stopped and patted Lin Jing's shoulder, comforting him: "Tracking down the real culprit and arresting the criminal is our responsibility as criminal police. You did a great job this time. You completed your mission perfectly. You have no regrets. What are you afraid of?"
The implication was that, as a criminal police officer, Lin Jing only needed to apprehend Gu Qinchuan, gather sufficient evidence of his crimes, and hand him over to the procuratorate. As for what would happen to Gu Qinchuan in the future, it had nothing to do with him, Lin Jing.
If Lin Jingruoruo is a smart person, he should learn to turn a blind eye.
Lin Jing glanced at Li Mang, sneering in his heart, but said, "Boss, you're absolutely right!"
As the two walked into the building together, they saw the young comrade in charge of receiving reports had a serious expression on his face.
Seeing Xiao Zheng's serious expression, Lin Jing asked, "Xiao Zheng, why are you frowning? What case have you received?"
Xiao Zheng quickly stood up and said to them, "Boss, Captain Lin, a homicide occurred last night in Jinfeng Community, Zhoulou County. Three members of the victim's family died, and one was injured. Only a twelve-year-old child, hidden by his mother, escaped harm! The murderer is currently at large!"
Li Mang hadn't expected to encounter a murder case right after taking office, so he quickly organized a serious crime squad, appointed Lin Jing as captain, and ordered him to lead his men to Zhoulou County to investigate the case. Lin Jing accepted the order, went back to the house to get a water cup, and when everyone gathered, he drove to Zhoulou County, which was under the jurisdiction of Wangdong City.
Yan Jiang was feeling bored after dinner when he received a call from Lin Jing, who wanted him to go to Zhoulou County to help handle the murder case.
