Chapter 37 Behind the Scenes
The residual smell of gunpowder still lingered in the air, sirens were blaring, and the crowd was noisy.
But Li Ziyu could not hear any other noise except Lu Bai's words "Nannan, let's go."
At this moment, Li Ziyu's heart went blank for a moment, as if his heart slowed down for a beat.
Lu Bai didn't move, just quietly looked at the girl who belonged to her.
The wind blew through the green grass and big trees, swaying their leaves and sprouting their seeds. They stood there without saying a word, but the years were so peaceful and quiet.
Li Ziyu smiled, a smile that came from the bottom of her heart that she hadn't seen in a long time.
She lowered her head, and said with a rare playfulness in her tone, "That's a good name."
Lu Bai didn't hear her inner voice because she spoke it out loud.
Perhaps it was God's instruction that allowed Lu Bai to hear Li Ziyu's inner voice.
Perhaps it was what his heart desired that brought Lu Bai closer to Li Ziyu's heart.
When the two returned to the police station, Hu Taoqing was still sitting in the interrogation room.
She lowered her head.
When Lu Bai pushed open the door of the interrogation room, he smelled the scent of bitter almonds.
Li Ziyu quickly stepped forward and pinched Hu Taoqing's mouth. The bitter almond taste was even stronger. "She took poison."
Cyanide poisoning.
There was still white foam at the corners of Hu Taoqing's mouth, but he was still dead.
Lu Bai pounded the table in frustration, "Who looked at her? She didn't even know she took poison!"
Li Ziyu was also a little upset. She shook her head and said, "The explosion at the middle school has sent everyone in the bureau away. This is a warning to us."
From the very beginning, their goal was not to cause an explosion, but to personally deliver Hu Taoqing to the police station.
Then let her divert police resources away from the police station, and finally let her die in the police station.
The meaning of provocation is self-evident, and it is also a warning to Lu Bai. It is telling her clearly that if she investigates further, her fate will be the same as Hu Taoqing.
This was the most recent case involving Lu Baili, and also the most recent one involving Li Ziyu against the organization.
But just like that, without even showing their faces, they were given such a big gift.
When Liu Zhengfeng arrived, he looked at the corpse in front of him and was somewhat surprised. "Cyanide poisoning is very painful, but she could actually endure it."
Hu Taoqing just sat quietly on the chair, and from outside, she really looked like she was just asleep.
Li Ziyu sighed helplessly, "She is a mother."
A mother can sacrifice her life to protect her child.
Liu Zhengfeng took out a button-sized eavesdropping device from behind her collar. "It seems like they heard your conversation clearly."
He put the wiretap in an evidence bag and threw it out of the interrogation room.
He pushed up his glasses and said, "There is a jammer in the interrogation room. This eavesdropping device is custom-made."
As he spoke, he lifted up the woman's worn long sleeves, revealing a few numbers carved by the woman with her fingernails.
401
This was the only clue she left for the police before her death.
The person who was supposed to be sent back to the police station for retrial died just like that. Lu Bai sat at his desk feeling a little disappointed.
She supported her head with one hand and twirled a pen with the other.
Li Ziyu held the case file of Chen Fei in his hand, pulled a chair and sat in front of Lu Bai's desk.
She pointed to a message inside and said, "It says here that a company employee stole information from the police."
"He sold the data disk to an IT person and then disappeared in Wuzhou."
Lu Bai nodded weakly, "I've seen these many times."
Li Ziyu tapped a photo inside. There was a very small line of words on the photo.
It is a house number that says "No. 163 Yuanfeng Road".
Lu Bai had just arrived in Wuzhou and was not very sensitive to this information. She was puzzled. "Is there something wrong here? I have been to this road and it is a commercial street."
Li Ziyu smiled and shook his head, "The one you mentioned is not the same as the one ten years ago."
She pulled out a very old newspaper and said, "This is Wuzhou Daily. It's dated three years ago. It says in this corner that Laoyuanfeng Road was demolished and turned into an industrial plant area."
"That road is where the Dan Qijie factory is located in the Zhang Jin case."
When she left the interrogation room, she had been focusing on looking for clues that might be related to the Zhang Jin case and the previous group.
As expected, she found a spot of cat litter. This also explains why the organization was so anxious to teach them a lesson after the Zhang Jin case.
Perhaps in the eyes of the organization, Lu Bai and Li Ziyu's repeated investigations, or by accident, prevented some organizations from taking action.
That's why they felt that Lu Bai and Li Ziyu threatened them.
But Lu Bai didn’t know about the totem yet.
Zhang Hai found Lu Bai with a pile of materials. He looked a little tired and said, "Captain Lu, we need to have a meeting."
Lu Bai also picked up his notebook and said, "Let's go, Ziyu, wait for me for a while."
Li Ziyu nodded, she was about to make a phone call.
Lu Bai led the team to the meeting room. Li Ziyu picked up the phone and made a call.
A clear and pleasant male voice, with a hint of excitement, "What's wrong? Ah Yu."
Li Ziyu lowered his voice, "You should have heard about the cases in the past few days, right?"
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone. "When you asked me to investigate Zhang Jin, I had already read all the cases you had handled over the years."
Like Li Ziyu, he is a person who has been dubbed a genius since childhood.
It was too easy for him to retrieve the data.
Li Ziyu sighed, "So do you feel that the cases these days seem to be deliberately placed in front of me?"
The man responded, "Indeed, it seems to be related to that organization."
Li Ziyu clenched her hands slightly. "You are the only person who knows what happened to me in Florida. Please pay attention to your safety during this time."
The man chuckled. "Don't you know me yet? No one can find me unless I want to."
Li Ziyu cannot deny this.
She hung up the phone, stroking the old newspaper with her fingers, her eyes dim.
When Lu Bai came back, it was almost five o'clock in the afternoon, and she yawned loudly.
She never liked such meetings, but after such a terrible explosion, the leader had to say a few words.
Of course, Lu Bai and Li Ziyu were also praised.
But Li Ziyu is luckier than Lu Bai. She is not a member of the formal system, so she can hide openly and not participate.
Lu Bai lay on the table, feeling hopeless, "Nannan, I'm so jealous of you."
"What!" Zhang Hai was shocked. "What did you ask Li Gu?"
He was the first to eat melons.
Lu Bai was also calm. She folded her arms and looked at Zhang Hai, "What's wrong? Can't you do it?"
Li Ziyu also raised her eyebrows and looked at Zhang Hai. She tacitly accepted Lu Bai's address to her in front of so many people.
Zhang Hai wanted to continue eating melon, but he saw a policeman rushing in hurriedly.
He said: "There was a report that a body was found."
