Chapter 244 Intentional Murder
Drug use is strictly prohibited in the South China Club, and the club will not provide or sell illegal drugs.
Therefore, the two people who died must have brought drugs in themselves, or someone deliberately harmed these two people to discredit Nan Guo.
I didn’t expect Song Wenchang to act so quickly!
Tang Shuo frowned and asked, "What's the situation now?"
"The police have arrived and are currently at a standoff," Zheng Xiaowan replied. "It won't be long before they're discovered."
"What were the identities of the two dead people?" Tang Shuo asked calmly.
"They were friends brought in by Ge Fei." Zheng Xiaowan said, "But Ge Fei left after bringing the two people in."
Tang Shuo tried hard to recall some information about Ge Fei and said, "Send me Ge Fei and the address of the member who recommended him to join the club. I'll rush back right away."
Members of the Southern Club must be recommended by three old members. Now it seems that the biggest flaw in this matter lies with Ge Fei. Only by finding him can the truth be revealed.
However, this loophole is a bit too obvious, and Tang Shuo is not sure about it.
There was no point in getting anxious at this point, and blocking the news was even more impossible. Since Song Wenchang had planned this far, he certainly wouldn't give him time to react.
Although Tang Shuo was the legal representative of Nanguo, the impact of this incident on him personally would not be significant at all. At most, he would be fined and rectified. However, the impact on Nanguo would be irreparable.
No matter what, two people died in the club.
For people like them who run businesses, this situation is really unlucky. Even if this matter is resolved, the club's business will definitely plummet.
Tang Shuo had previously believed that if the other party attacked, it would definitely come at him. He had never imagined that the other party would attack the Southern Kingdom, but he didn't expect that the enemy would take advantage of this opportunity.
"Captain, what's wrong?" Wu Lingyun noticed Tang Shuo's grim expression and asked, "What happened?"
"Go to the South Country. Two people died there." Tang Shuo nodded.
Wu Lingyun immediately increased the speed of the car and rushed towards the South Country.
Soon Zheng Xiaowan sent the information of Ge Fei and several people who recommended Ge Fei to become a member.
Tang Shuo immediately sent the address to Hu Zi and asked him to help find someone first.
After Zhang Jingxin retired, Hu Zi started to manage the situation in Yanjing on his own. The last time Wu Lingyun brought Huangfu Zhengqi there, Tang Shuo went to talk to Hu Zi.
Hu Zi's men may not be reliable for big tasks, but they are more than capable of doing things like finding people.
By the time Tang Shuo arrived at the club, it had already been sealed off by the police.
Tang Shuo crossed the cordon and asked, "Who is in charge here?"
"Who are you?" a chubby policeman stopped Tang Shuo and asked.
"I'm the owner of this club."
The chubby policeman looked at Tang Shuo twice. This guy is too young!
But his emotion was his, and he immediately shouted into the intercom: "Director, the club owner is here."
Soon, a middle-aged man in his early forties and Zheng Xiaowan came down from upstairs. The middle-aged man looked at Tang Shuo and asked, "Are you the owner of the club?"
"It's me." Tang Shuo nodded.
"Come with us." The middle-aged man said seriously, "I now suspect that there is drug trafficking in your club."
"You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want." Tang Shuo smiled and asked, "Do you have any evidence to prove it?"
Ever since a killer sneaked into the club, Zheng Xiaowan has become several times stricter in managing the club's staff.
If Song Wenchang was given time to prepare, the other party might really find his flaws and frame him.
But this incident only took about half an hour, and Song Wenchang obviously acted on impulse, otherwise he would not have become so passive.
"Two drug addicts just died in your club. I have the right to take you back for investigation." The middle-aged man said.
Tang Shuo frowned, looked at the middle-aged man twice and said, "I'll make a phone call."
Before the middle-aged man could say anything, a plainclothes policeman standing behind him stepped forward and stopped him, saying, "You can't talk on the phone now!"
Tang Shuo seemed not to hear what the man said and continued to dial the number.
The police officers and Zheng Xiaowan knew about this at almost the same time, which was a huge loophole in itself. And the middle-aged director immediately accused him of drug trafficking, clearly harboring ill intentions.
As if angered by Tang Shuo's attitude, the plainclothes policeman immediately jumped over and tried to snatch the phone from Tang Shuo's hand.
How could Tang Shuo let the other party get what he wanted? He blocked the plainclothes policeman's hand with one hand and kicked him directly in the stomach.
The plainclothes policeman's body instantly flew backwards, smashing a decorative glass wall in the club before falling to the ground.
Tang Shuo's actions angered several policemen around him, and they all pulled out their guns and pointed them at Tang Shuo.
Wu Lingyun, who was standing behind Tang Shuo, immediately stepped forward and stood in front of Tang Shuo. At this moment, Tang Shuo's phone call also got through.
Tang Shuo said a few words into the phone, then turned directly to the middle-aged man, "Director Cao's call is for you."
The middle-aged man frowned, stepped forward to take the phone, whispered a few words into the phone, and then returned the phone to Tang Shuo.
Tang Shuo picked up the phone again, and Cao Qisen on the other end said, "This matter is a bit troublesome. I'll ask Gao Qiang to take a look. You go with them first."
"Thank you, Uncle Cao." Tang Shuo replied.
When the middle-aged man saw Tang Shuo hang up the phone, he spoke again, "This matter is too serious. You must come back to the bureau with us."
Tang Shuo raised his eyebrows. It seemed that this matter was much more serious than he expected.
The middle-aged man's words were actually correct. Two people had died in the club, so it seemed reasonable for him, the person in charge, to go back with the other party to accept the investigation. However, the middle-aged man's attitude was very intriguing.
The man had become a director in his middle age, so he was clearly not ignorant of the ways of the world. Cao Qisen had already addressed him in person, so logically his tone shouldn't have been so resolute. Even if he wasn't partial, he should have been more moderate in his approach.
Tang Shuo nodded, gave a few instructions to Wu Lingyun in front of him, and got into the car with the police.
Because he was only assisting with the investigation, he was not handcuffed.
--------
After Tang Shuo was brought back to the police station, he was sent directly to an interrogation room.
The interrogation room was bright and spacious, without the deliberately gloomy atmosphere seen in movies. Aside from a piece of one-way glass, everything else seemed perfectly normal.
The person who came to interrogate Tang Shuo was not a cold and beautiful woman like in some movies or novels. Apart from a middle-aged policewoman who was responsible for taking notes, there was also a skinny policeman.
As soon as he entered, the other party asked as usual: "Name, gender, age."
"Did you make a mistake?" Tang Shuo asked. "I'm here to assist you in your investigation, not to be interrogated by you."
The skinny policeman slammed the table and said angrily, "Just answer whatever I ask you."
Tang Shuo shook his head helplessly and said again: "I'm just cooperating with your investigation."
The skinny policeman was about to say something when three men in police uniforms walked in. One of them, a man with a horse face, said to the skinny policeman sitting in the interrogation seat, "You go out first. We're taking over here."
The skinny policeman asked in confusion: "What's going on?"
"This guy just killed Lao Cai." The horse-faced man said and nodded to the remaining two men.
Two men came over immediately and prepared to handcuff Tang Shuo.
Seeing these people coming at him aggressively, Tang Shuo naturally wouldn't just sit there and wait for death. He immediately stood up and asked, "What are you going to do?"
The horse-faced man said coldly, "Just now, you attacked and injured Lao Cai from our police station at the club. He died on the way to the hospital. Now you are suspected of intentional homicide."
Tang Shuo thought about the plainclothes policeman he had injured by kicking him while making a phone call in the club, and suddenly felt as if an invisible net was pressing down on his shop.
