Chapter 27 (2 more)



Captain Zhang nodded in agreement, but he couldn't help but be curious about what this little girl could prove.

At the Imperial Capital Hospital, Assistant Yuan suddenly received a call from an unknown number. After a brief conversation, he respectfully hung up and turned to report to Lu Xingyan, "Mr. Lu, Miss Wen Qianqian, oh no, Officer Wen wants to see you."

"See me?" Lu Xingyan was a little surprised. He thought for a moment and asked, "Did you say what you wanted to do?"

Assistant Yuan reported everything in detail: "She said she wanted to come over and ask you something about the car accident."

Lu Xingyan paused and asked him, "Did she say when she would come?"

Assistant Yuan looked through the records. "She said she'd come see you in an hour if it's convenient for you."

Lu Xingyan pondered for a moment, then suddenly pursed his lips and looked at Assistant Yuan: "What are you waiting for? Quickly get someone to clean up and bring my clothes over. I can't let anyone see me like this, can I?"

After saying this, he shook the socks on his feet angrily.

"Poof", Assistant Yuan couldn't help but spray again when he saw the socks on his feet.

To be honest, although Lu Xingyan's work requirements are extremely high on weekdays, he is not too demanding in other aspects. Sometimes he can even be unexpectedly tolerant.

For example, he is extremely busy with work and his daily life is taken care of by the nanny at home. Assistant Yuan helps him with references and tells the nanny what needs to be purchased.

He was used to living alone and wasn't very good at tidying up, especially when it came to socks. He always felt that it was better to buy more quickly than to have the time to sort them out one by one. So, his socks were usually thrown away after being worn all year round, and they were rarely washed.

This time he was suddenly involved in a car accident and the doctor told him that he had to wrap himself up and not be exposed to the wind. It happened that all the socks he usually bought had been worn and thrown away. Assistant Yuan had no choice but to go to the hospital downstairs to buy some.

As luck would have it, almost all the socks in the supermarket downstairs were sold out that day, and the only ones left were bright red socks with "Wish you good fortune and prosperity" written in yellow on them.

Assistant Yuan stared at the words on the socks and pondered silently for a long time...

"Hey, sir, do you still want to buy these socks?" Seeing that he had been standing there for too long, the shopkeeper finally couldn't bear it anymore and reminded him.

"Oh, buy, of course." Assistant Yuan smiled with evil humor. Thinking of Lu Xingyan's bad habit of wearing a pair and then throwing away a pair, he simply bought more than a dozen pairs.

After buying the socks and placing them in front of Lu Xingyan, Lu Xingyan showed an extremely incredible expression: "What is this?"

"Socks," Assistant Yuan said calmly, "Try them on."

"Hiss", the financial director who was reporting on his work in the ward at that time was so shocked that he almost fainted when he saw the words "Congratulations and Get Rich". What kind of taste and hobby is this... He looked at Lu Xingyan with horror, and then looked at Assistant Yuan with horror, thinking that this guy must be crazy. He actually gave this kind of thing to Lu Xingyan. Is he thinking that his life is too comfortable and doesn't want to do this anymore?

But unexpectedly, Lu Xingyan not only did not throw this ridiculous thing away, he even tried it out and then continued to look at the financial report as if nothing had happened.

Financial Director: ...Is this fucking hell...

Looking at the expression of the financial director, Assistant Yuan who was standing beside him smiled slightly. He had been Lu Xingyan's assistant for several years and knew him very well. On the surface, he was expressionless and very demanding, but that was also towards work. In life, Lu Xingyan was really a very adaptable person.

No one could possibly imagine that Lu Xingyan, a powerful figure in the business world who owns the entire Lu Group business empire, would privately wear the tacky bright red "Congratulations and Get Rich" socks specially designed for his birth year.

Thinking of this, Assistant Yuan felt a little sad. After all, Lu Xingyan in real life could only be regarded as a work machine. He ate just to fill his stomach and wore clothes just to keep warm. All his expensive shirts were just clothes chosen by the company to suit his status as a CEO. The real him seemed to care about nothing except work.

"Hey, Assistant Yuan, why are you standing there? Hurry up and deal with it!" Lu Xingyan, who was always calm, seemed a little anxious for some reason.

Assistant Yuan came to his senses, put away his still-laughing expression, and quickly returned to a professional demeanor: "Okay, Mr. Lu, I'll take care of it right away."

After saying that, he immediately called the person in charge of the hospital and asked him to arrange for the housekeeping to clean up. At the same time, he called Lu Xingyan's personal assistant and asked him to rush to send his usual clothes to the hospital.

An hour later, Wen Qianqian knocked on the door and entered the most mysterious VIP room in the hospital.

The room has the best facilities in the entire hospital and is even equipped with a separate AED for emergency treatment. However, the door of this ward is usually not open and is only used to serve special people.

The moment she entered, Wen Qianqian was surprised. A room that she had lived in for nearly a week looked like a new one. The bed was made neatly without a wrinkle, and even in the sanitary corners like the windowsill, there was not a trace of dust.

"Mr. Lu really loves cleanliness." Wen Qianqian praised sincerely. She couldn't do it herself anyway. She often slept in and only cleaned up a little when she got up.

At this moment, Lu Xingyan had already finished dressing. He was wearing a 50,000 yuan high-end white shirt from brand A, which made him look extremely noble and handsome. He smiled and nodded.

Assistant Yuan couldn't help but complain in his heart, "Tsk tsk tsk, why are they pretending to be so high and mighty? Who just called the entire housekeeping team to come over to clean? The aunts were in such a mess, they looked like they were facing a great enemy. They wiped every seam in the house at least three times. If Assistant Yuan hadn't tried desperately to stop them, they would probably have sprayed a bottle of perfume in the room."

Wen Qianqian walked closer and took a look at the man in front of her. She found that he looked even better in person than in the photos on the news. She took a closer look and praised him earnestly, "It seems that he has really recovered. Before, the injury was so severe that his face was swollen like a steamed bun. I couldn't recognize him at all. Now he's fine, just like in the magazines."

"Puff!" Assistant Yuan couldn't help but spit out a laugh, then he consciously stepped aside before Lu Xingyan's murderous gaze came towards him.

He had been observing Wen Qianqian silently since she came in. When he heard Assistant Yuan say that she was a star, he felt it was unreal. A few days later, he heard Assistant Yuan say that she passed the police exam. Although he felt that the police officer was more in line with his initial impression of her that day, it seemed even more unreal.

It wasn't until today, seeing her in person, watching her every move, that the subtle memories of the day of the car accident suddenly flooded back to me. It was her, it was indeed her, the voice that reassured that person. These past few days, I've been having dreams about the feeling of being in a car accident and near death, the heaviness that could crush a person. Fortunately, in every dream, her voice would appear, "Don't sleep, wake up quickly," and he would instantly breathe again.

He watched her walk in slowly, and the face in his memory became clearer and clearer, until she sat in front of him, tilting her head slightly to look at him. He couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and said silently in his heart, she is so beautiful, even more beautiful than when he saw her that day.

Wen Qianqian looked at the man in front of her and said softly, "I know Mr. Lu is a big shot and very busy on weekdays. I came here to bother you today because I wanted to talk to you about what happened on the day of the car accident."

Lu Xingyan nodded: "Miss Wen, you are worrying too much. It's not urgent. I should thank you. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask."

After saying that, he seemed to think of something and looked up and added, "By the way, how is the driver who came with me last time? Is he seriously injured?"

Wen Qianqian waved her hand: "Don't worry, he's fine. He was protected by the airbag, he just fainted. He went to the hospital for a full body check-up and went home as nothing was wrong."

Lu Xingyan understood and felt relieved. He then asked Assistant Yuan to find out the driver's name and give him appropriate compensation.

"However, since the driver was unconscious at the time and couldn't provide any useful information, the key to the case still lies with you."

"Yeah, I understand." Lu Xingyan said lightly.

Wen Qianqian continued, "Could you please tell me again what happened that day, without missing any details."

"Okay," Lu Xingyan nodded, trying hard to recall what happened that day and recounting it as detailed as possible.

When she said, "I feel like I've heard that voice somewhere before, but it's not very familiar," Wen Qianqian suddenly said, "Stop!"

She looked at Lu Xingyan and said, "The reason I came here today is to help you recognize my voice."

After saying that, she took out a recorder and played the voices of a few people at random.

Lu Xingyan shook his head: "Sorry, none of these are true." There was a hint of regret in his voice.

He couldn't help but think that if she could solve the case, it would not only be an explanation to him, but also for her, it would be a meritorious service right from the start, and she would have a bright future, right?

It’s a pity to think about this.

But Wen Qianqian didn't seem affected at all, as if she had expected it. She fiddled with the recorder in her hand and asked Lu Xingyan calmly, "Would you like to listen to this again?"

I don't know where the sound of the recorder came from, but there was a loud "hissing" sound, as if it was from a very noisy environment, and even the noisy sounds of other people were mixed in.

Lu Xingyan looked up at Wen Qianqian and saw that she was calm, so he continued to listen attentively. After a few seconds, a loud voice suddenly came from the recorder: "Where are you screaming? Hey, hey, hey, skr! skr!"

Lu Xingyan was stunned. He felt his chest tighten subconsciously when he heard the voice. Then the man's words from that day began to emerge in his mind over and over again, "So, just die!" The despair at that time passed through time and came to him like a tide. Lu Xingyan's body trembled slightly, and then his head began to hurt violently.

"Mr. Lu!"

"Mr. Lu!"

Assistant Yuan and Wen Qianqian noticed that something was wrong with him and shouted at the same time.

Lu Xingyan supported his head with one hand and shook it with the other, indicating that he was fine. After a moment's pause, he frowned and asked Wen Qianqian, "Who is he?"

"A star named Wu Huai. This is a live recording of his concert." She answered truthfully.

Lu Xingyan closed his eyes and pondered for a moment. When he raised his eyes again, a fierce look flashed across his eyes: "It's him. The voice I heard is very similar to his."

After saying that, he became a little confused again: "But I have never met this person." Logically speaking, it is impossible for a person who has never met someone to have any impression of his voice.

Assistant Yuan was a little surprised and speechless. Why is it another celebrity? He has recently been in a celebrity's nest. Why are all the people he interacts with celebrities?

He glanced at Wen Qianqian. Of course, Miss Wen didn't count. Miss Wen was now a police officer and someone that their President Lu paid special attention to.

Assistant Yuan's thoughts drifted further and further away, and suddenly something occurred to him. He shouted, "I think I know why Mr. Lu said he was familiar with this voice!"

Lu Xingyan and Wen Qianqian looked at him in surprise. He didn't waste any words and immediately said, "Not only Mr. Lu, but I also felt that it sounded familiar when I heard it just now."

"Then I thought about it carefully," Assistant Yuan analyzed seriously, "It's because the receptionist of our company's president's office is a fan of this guy named Wu Huai. Every time his cell phone rings, it's Wu Huai's line 'Come on, baby, come to my concert'..."

Before he could finish his words, he got goosebumps and stood up to apologize: "I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, I shouldn't have polluted the company with such noisy noises. I'll go open the front desk right now!"

Lu Xingyan and Wen Qianqian: ...

Lu Xingyan didn't bother to pay attention to him. He looked at Wen Qianqian in surprise: "How did you find him?"

To be honest, if he were to guess, he probably wouldn't be able to guess who hit him in his next life. After all, he had never met Wu Huai before, so there was no way he could guess who it was.

Wen Qianqian laughed it off: "I guessed it. Someone online saw his car after the incident that night."

Lu Xingyan nodded without thinking too much, and then asked: "Now that we have found the voice of doubt, what should we do next?"

Wen Qianqian pursed her lips: "I want to apply for a search warrant."

"Is there anything I can do?" Lu Xingyan asked. "What I mean is, as long as it helps solve the case, I will fully cooperate with whatever is done."

"Okay," Wen Qianqian smiled. "Then please write a handwritten explanatory document for me. I'll take it with me to apply. Thank you."

"No problem," Lu Xingyan immediately took out a pen and paper. "You don't have to thank me. Actually, I'm the one who should be thanking you."

He looked at the girl in front of him seriously: "You are helping me to get justice. I am really grateful to you."

He thought for a moment and said, "I don't have much, but I have some money, which can buy me some things. If you have any wishes, Miss Wen, you can tell me and I will definitely help you realize them."

Wen Qianqian almost spit out her words when she heard this. "You call that a little rich? You own all the real estate in China and are worth hundreds of billions, and you just say 'nothing but a little money'? You're too modest."

She tanned herself lightly and smiled, "Thank you, Mr. Lu. My dream was to pass the civil service exam, and I've already achieved it. Money isn't that important to me, as long as I have enough for my living."

"Besides, haven't you already helped me? I heard that during my public notice period some time ago, someone maliciously reported me. The Lu Law Firm sent a lawyer's letter to each of them, without missing a single one."

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly: "This is a big deal, so, Mr. Lu, you don't have to think about thanking me, this is enough."

"Okay, it's getting late, so I won't disturb Mr. Lu from resting. I'll go back and apply for a search warrant right away. I wish Mr. Lu a speedy recovery." After saying that, he stood up and was about to leave.

Lu Xingyan paused, a little disappointed. Seeing Wen Qianqian was about to leave, he quickly said, "After the case is over, can I treat you to a meal?"

As if afraid that she would refuse, he quickly said, "You saved my life. Even if you don't want anything, I have to treat you to a meal. Please don't refuse."

Wen Qianqian thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's talk about it after the case is over."

After returning to the office, she reported to Captain Zhang what she had just done with Lu Xingyan.

"This is what happened. Lu Xingyan personally admitted that the sound was exactly the same as the sound heard on the day of the car accident. Combined with previous speculation, I think it is very likely that Wu Huai committed the crime. In order to prevent the perpetrators from destroying evidence, I apply for immediate surveillance of Wu Huai's home and apply for a search warrant." After saying this, he handed over Lu Xingyan's handwritten statement of the situation.

Captain Zhang was very surprised when he saw the handwritten statement. Every word was written very carefully and neatly, and the attitude seemed very cautious. It was hard to imagine that a wealthy noble like Lu Xingyan could be so focused.

When he heard her say that there was a way to prove it, he thought it would take her at least a few days to collect evidence. Unexpectedly, she came back in just one afternoon, and even brought a handwritten statement from Lu Xingyan.

How could it be such a coincidence? She found the car in a flash, and then Lu Xingyan confirmed that the recording, seemingly taken at random, was a match. How could it be such a coincidence? The police had been investigating the case for a week, working day and night to review the surveillance footage, but there was still no progress. How could she make such rapid progress in her hands? Is she really trustworthy?

Captain Zhang couldn't help but feel a little confused.

Wen Qianqian smiled helplessly. Really, it was no wonder that Captain Zhang was suspicious. When she was a police officer in her own world, she had never thought of such an outrageous way of solving the case. But it was the book that had already spoiled the content for her.

This was the first time in her life that she had encountered such a cheat-like method of solving a case.

While Captain Zhang was hesitating, she was silently calculating in her mind. Now that they knew who the murderer was, the most important thing was to seize the time. If Wu Huai reacted and tried to sell the stolen goods, it would become extremely difficult to collect evidence.

He may even get away with it due to insufficient evidence.

Thinking of this, Wen Qianqian couldn't help but apply again: "Captain Zhang, trust me this time and apply for a search warrant. We already have evidence that meets the requirements."

She spoke each word with a firm attitude: "If there is any problem, I will take the responsibility myself."

Captain Zhang hesitated for a long time, and seeing her firm attitude, he finally spoke: "Okay, I'll give you a chance and trust you once."

"I'll have someone keep an eye on Wu Huai's villa. I'll lead a team to search it with you this afternoon."

"Thank you, Captain Zhang!" Wen Qianqian saluted.

On the other side of the imperial capital, Wu Huai was standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window of the villa, staring out the window in a daze.

His agent was nearby, pacing back and forth on the phone. After nearly an hour of asking around, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I've asked someone to find a repair shop. I've arranged for your car to be disassembled tomorrow afternoon. All the parts will be removed and returned to the shop for sale. As for the front end, I'm trying to figure out how to melt it down to avoid any further complications."

Wu Huai nodded: "The people in the factory won't say anything, right?" If you want to do something like this, you have to be absolutely sure.

The agent patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, they just take the money and do the work. They won't say a word."

Wu Huai looked away from the window, feeling slightly relieved. Ever since that nightmare, his left eyelid had been twitching constantly, making him uneasy. So, even though he knew the car could be fixed, he still said, "Let's schedule it for this afternoon. I'm feeling incredibly anxious, like someone's trying to outsmart me, but I don't know who it is. It feels strange, and I want to get it done quickly before the night wears on."

The agent frowned: "Tomorrow afternoon is already very soon, and the factory also needs to arrange people."

Wu Huai gave him a cold look and said, "Today, it must be dealt with today."

"You don't want to go in for this, right?" He glanced at his agent, not seeming to be joking.

When the agent heard the word "go in," he was so frightened that he shuddered and said quickly, "Okay, okay, okay, this afternoon, this afternoon, I'll tell the factory to triple the salary!"

After that, he made some more phone calls. After he had dealt with everything thoroughly, he said to Wu Huai, "I just called a tow truck. They'll come to our place at 5pm when it's a little dark, to tow the car, and then take it to the repair shop via a small road."

He let out a long sigh: "Don't worry, after today, no one will be able to find anything from your car. This matter is known to heaven, earth, you and me. As long as we don't tell anyone, no one else in this world will know."

After hearing what he said, Wu Huai finally felt relieved. It was because those people in the dream checked the car that they were able to collect evidence and convict him.

In two hours, the car will be taken away and torn into pieces, and then no one will be able to convict him.

He and his agent sat in the villa for the rest of the afternoon, looking at each other in silence. At 4 o'clock, the doorbell outside the villa rang on time: "Hello, tow truck."

The agent hurried to open the door, and Wu Huai followed behind him nervously. Finally, with the joint efforts of several people, the red Ferrari was loaded onto the trailer.

As they watched the car drive away, their tense nerves finally relaxed.

Wu Huai was gazing out the window in a daze. His agent teased him, "Why, you can't bear to part with this car?"

"That's right. After all, it's over 10 million and it's only been open for a month."

Wu Huai shook his head: "No, Yingxue said she liked this car." He still remembered her surprise when she first saw this car. She even joked that if there was a chance, he would take her for a ride to a deserted place.

When the agent heard this, his face immediately fell. "Yingxue? Yue Yingxue? I'm warning you, don't even think about that. She's a huge cesspool right now. Anyone who gets involved with her will be in trouble. Sun Liang and Zhang Li from Xinyi are both in jail already, and her contract still puts Xinyi in a difficult position. Plus, her reputation is so bad now that everyone sees her like they're the plague, and they can't even avoid her. And you're still thinking about her?"

"I'm warning you, don't see her, don't call her. If you're photographed by fans and the media, you're done, okay? And she might still be with Qin Shen now, so don't mess with her!"

Inside the police station, Wen Qianqian and Captain Zhang sat together in the monitoring room, watching the real-time surveillance footage at the door of Wu Huai's house.

"Captain Zhang, it looks like a large truck is coming out of the suspect's house."

"A big truck? Why is there a big truck at this time? Let me take a look." Captain Zhang took a few steps forward and sat in front of the surveillance camera.

Wen Qianqian stood at the back, staring at the screen. "It should be a tow truck. They want to tow the vehicle away and are getting ready to do it."

After saying that, he immediately turned to Captain Zhang and said, "Captain Zhang, we should get started. If we don't leave now, it will be too late."

Captain Zhang nodded. At this time, he had to admire Wen Qianqian's judgment. Wu Huai wanted to tow the car away at this time, which was undoubtedly a guilty conscience and his suspicion was growing.

He turned around and immediately issued an order: "Everyone, divide into two teams. I will lead one team to the suspect's home, and Wen Qianqian will lead the other team to follow the tow truck."

"Yes, Captain!" everyone answered in unison.

Four police cars started at the same time. When they arrived at the police station, they turned around, two heading west and two heading east.

In the villa, Wu Huai and his agent were arguing about Yue Yingxue. The argument became so intense that they almost came to blows.

The agent was furious: "Wu Huai, are you fucking crazy? Who are you in the same boat with? I just risked going to jail to help you destroy the evidence, and you treat me like this for a woman who has been hanging you up and playing you around. What kind of nonsense did she feed you? Are you crazy?"

Wu Huai sneered: "I don't care what you did? Anyway, no one can say bad things about Yingxue! If you say it again, don't be afraid of me getting angry!"

"You!" The agent was about to say something when suddenly the doorbell rang.

The two of them were so angry while arguing that they had long forgotten the danger.

"Why are you knocking on the door again? Did something go wrong while mopping?" The agent went to open the door cursing.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the door opened, before I could react to what was happening, a group of people suddenly rushed in: "Don't move, police!"
