Chapter 135 Chapter 135 Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk
"Do you know what you're saying?" The white-haired father struggled to control his anger. He had been hoping the police would arrest the suspect, but he never expected her to say that his youngest son had hanged himself.
Facing the two elderly women who had taught countless students, Shen Zhenzhu politely explained: "Before this process, there was strangulation with bare hands and the use of plastic bags to enhance the feeling of suffocation. The purpose was to induce brain hypoxia to achieve sexual arousal. This should not be the first time this has been done."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard people talking around her.
"You, you're talking nonsense!" Father Hu gasped for breath, stomped his cane heavily, and turned his head away, not wanting to look at Chen Zhenzhu.
Chen Zhenzhu said in a low voice, "The preliminary judgment is that the deceased used a nylon rope to restrain himself and suspended his neck from the head of the bed. During this process, he lost consciousness and died of complete mechanical asphyxiation due to the continuous pressure of his body weight on the rope around his neck."
Hu Mingyu, suppressing his anger, unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt and said in an unfriendly tone, "Do you know who you're insulting? What position do you hold that allows you to make such a judgment so easily?"
Shen Zhenzhu took out her identification and showed it to him: "This is only a preliminary determination of the cause of death. There will be further examination and identification by the forensic department. If the deceased's family does not agree with the determination, they can apply for an autopsy."
"No—!" Mother Hu screamed frantically, "You are not allowed to dissect my son!"
Zhao Qiqi and the others rushed over upon hearing the commotion. Shen Zhenzhu waved to them, saying, "It's nothing."
She walked up to Hu's mother and said in a gentle tone, "Auntie, don't worry. Unless the family has objections to the cause of death, an autopsy is generally not performed in this situation. We will definitely be truthful. I know you are very sad, please accept my condolences."
Hu Mingyu said, word by word, "So you mean either accept your conclusion or you want to dissect my brother?"
“Don’t be so hasty. Before that, I need to take the deceased back to the criminal investigation team for a final assessment report.” Rong Chengcheng stood at the bedroom door, took off his gloves, and said, “However, I need to explain to the family in advance that Section Chief Shen’s preliminary assessment is consistent with my preliminary assessment.”
Shen Zhenzhu nodded silently.
...
As Chen Zhenzhu came down from the ninth floor, she received a call from Lu Ye.
"How's the case going? If it's all settled, should Archie take you to my buddy's driving school?"
Shen Zhenzhu was subjected to a barrage of sarcastic remarks from the deceased's family. At this point, one has to admire how cultured people can insult others without using vulgar language.
It was already time to leave work, so she decided to go out for a walk to clear her head. She glanced at Zhao Qiqi, who said, "It's on my way, no problem."
Shen Zhenzhu then said into the phone, "Okay, I'll be right there. Let's meet when we get there."
On the road, it was rush hour. Private cars were not yet widespread, and the flow of bicycles was enormous. Traffic police officers stood in the middle of the road, constantly directing traffic, and they looked very tired.
It took half an hour to arrive at "Celebrity Driving School". While waiting at a red light, Chen Zhenzhu quickly got out of the car and said goodbye to Zhao Qiqi.
"You've finally arrived. My legs are numb from squatting." Lu Ye changed into civilian clothes, chewing Big Bubble Gum, with a briefcase tucked under his arm, looking both old and young.
"The deceased's family doesn't accept the suicide diagnosis, they're a bit difficult... Haha, that's quite a lot." Shen Zhenzhu glanced at the driving school's wall, it was really, really long.
Lu Ye said smugly, "This is my childhood friend's high-end private driving school. I talked to him and he gave us a discount. Come on, let's go in this way. Look, all the cars over there are brand new, all of them are new Xiali cars."
Chen Zhenzhu praised the venue, saying, "Wow, such a big venue and such new cars, your childhood friend is really capable."
"Sister Pearl, you're too kind. My name is Lu Qiao, you can call me Qiao Qiao." Lu Qiao walked over from the corner and happened to hear what Chen Zhenzhu said.
He had red lips and white teeth, spoke softly, wore sunglasses on his head, and was dressed in a floral shirt. He reached out to shake hands with Chen Zhenzhu.
Shen Zhenzhu waved to him generously and said sweetly, "I think you're a little older than me, so I'll call you Brother Qiao."
Lu Qiao said with a smile, "A Ye has mentioned your case-solving skills. Today, I've finally met the real deal."
"I dare not accept the title of 'Buddha,' I'm just working hard," Chen Zhenzhu said with a smile.
"Come on, Sister Pearl, I'll show you around." Lu Qiao, true to her business acumen, was thoughtful and meticulous.
"We are a high-standard driving school. The cars are brand new, the training ground is brand new, and celebrities who have learned to drive here include Han Lei, Wu Dayou, and Cai Guoqin..."
Chen Zhenzhu scratched her head, feeling a sense of familiarity mixed with strangeness.
Seeing that her expression already understood, Lu Qiao had the trump card yet: "Han Lei played the Bull Demon King in 'The Monkey King in the Full Moon,' Wu Dayou sang 'Go Crazy Once Again,' and Cai Guoqin performed stand-up comedy. They even appeared on the provincial Spring Festival Gala last year."
Shen Zhenzhu thought they were impressive, but something felt off. There was a hint of a knock-off vibe... I'm so sorry.
"If you come here to practice driving, we guarantee that encouragement will be the main focus, and we will never yell or scold you. Our teaching will primarily focus on imparting skills and emotional value. Unlike other driving schools, we won't yell at you to the point that you mistake the accelerator for the brake."
Chen Zhenzhu breathed a sigh of relief: "That's wonderful."
Lu Qiao glanced at Lu Ye with a smile and said, "I've been asking him to come and learn for a while, but he wasn't willing. Sister Pearl, you must agree. Driving is a big trend in society now, and a modern woman with your vision will definitely understand that."
"I understand, I understand perfectly." Upon hearing the words "encouragement is the main approach, and yelling and scolding will not be tolerated," Shen Zhenzhu had already decided to learn to drive here.
Having heard tales of driving schools' glorious achievements in her past life, Shen Zhenzhu never managed to learn. But here, the familiar faces are welcoming and offer emotional support; she'd be willing to pay any tuition fee herself.
"By the way, look over there in that red Xiali, the person getting one-on-one driving lessons is also a celebrity—"
“How come I don’t recognize him?” Lu Ye said.
Shen Zhenzhu looked over blankly, indeed not recognizing him.
Lu Qiaobai glanced at them and said, "You'll be shocked when I tell you, the person practicing driving inside is the big star Ouyang Qing, Sister Qing's sister-in-law."
"Sister Qing? That big sister in the entertainment industry?" Shen Zhenzhu had seen Sister Qing's poster on Hu Mingyu's bedroom wall just today.
"She single-handedly rivals top actresses from Hong Kong and Taiwan. Who else but her can call her Sister Qing?" Lu Qiao said with a smug smile. "Her sister-in-law is learning to drive here, and Sister Qing often comes to pick her up from school. The family has an incredibly close relationship."
Shen Zhenzhu immediately made a decision: "Brother Qiao, please take us in. Where do we pay the tuition?"
"What's the rush? I'll take you to the cultural center; it even has air conditioning. Of course, it won't be on in this weather." Lu Qiao put his arm around one of them and led them along, telling them gossip about celebrities he'd heard. Shen Zhenzhu was all smiles, and when they got to the finance office, she took out her wallet and paid the tuition.
After paying the tuition, an invoice was issued on the spot. Shen Zhenzhu and Lu Ye received a book on culture and a book on regulations. Then, they were assigned a culture teacher and a driving instructor.
After a series of intensive procedures, Chen Zhenzhu commented: "Your buddy is incredibly professional."
As Lu Qiao emerged from the bungalow office, she waved frantically to them from afar.
Chen Zhenzhu took off running.
Lu Ye hadn't reacted yet, still standing there with his wallet and receipts tucked inside, when he saw this and shouted, "What's wrong? Why are you running?"
Lu Qiao shouted, "Aren't you all fans of Sister Qing? Sister Qing is here, come and take pictures quickly!"
Shen Zhenzhu ran incredibly fast, almost sprinting to Qingjie's side.
Ouyang Qing was strikingly beautiful, her red dress shimmering like a fiery light. Her posture was upright, and her every glance exuded sharpness and a sense of history. Her powerful aura made her seem like a queen in person, causing Chen Zhenzhu to restrain herself and stand obediently in front of her.
Starting in the 1990s, Hong Kong and Taiwan stars exploded into the public eye, with superstars becoming incredibly popular.
Ouyang Qing wields a rare amount of influence and leading role among mainland actresses, and it is no exaggeration to say that she single-handedly rivals Hong Kong and Taiwan's top stars.
In news magazines, he has consistently dominated the covers and headlines of Hong Kong, Taiwan, and mainland China with headlines about "acting like a diva," "scandals," "joining a new drama crew," and "winning prestigious awards at home and abroad." Every move he makes attracts the attention of the media and fans.
As the top-grossing actor in China, Ouyang Qing not only acts in movies but also takes on stage plays and music. His voice is very distinctive, with a slightly husky and magnetic quality, and a slightly lazy, grainy quality at the end.
"What a young and beautiful policewoman! I heard you're the head of the Major Crimes Unit. It's an honor to have you as a fan of mine." Ouyang Qing was unexpectedly friendly. Just when Shen Zhenzhu thought she would be given a cold shoulder, he reached out and hugged her.
Lu Ye was shocked when he arrived. He had been misled by gossip magazines for years and thought that asking for a photo would result in Ouyang Qing's bad temper.
"I really like you. I've watched your movies repeatedly, including 'The Wasteland,' 'Hope,' and 'Night in Ulaanbaatar'!"
"You've actually seen such obscure films?"
"Of course I've seen them! I've also seen 'Night Meeting at the Bridge' and 'The Reader'!"
The movie that Shen Zhenzhu mentioned was one that Ouyang Qing liked very much, even though it didn't have a very high box office. Seeing that Shen Zhenzhu could list a bunch of movies like a treasure and didn't just like them because of their high box office, Ouyang Qing sincerely believed that she was a true movie buff who could appreciate movies carefully.
“Looks like you really are my fan, not one of those guys who just want to take pictures with me.” Ouyang Qing turned around and glanced at his sister-in-law Shao Li, who was almost finished with her driving practice. He then pulled Shen Zhenzhu and the two of them together to hug the camera and said, “Take a few more pictures of my fan.”
As the owner of "Celebrity Driving School," Lu Qiao always keeps a camera and film in his office, ready to take photos with celebrities at any time as free publicity for the driving school.
Shen Zhenzhu took seven or eight photos with Ouyang Qing before remembering Lu Ye and pulling him to stand on either side for a group photo. Fortunately, she wisely allowed Lu Ye and Ouyang Qing to take the last two photos alone.
Lu Ye said happily, "I've never taken a photo with a big star before."
Ouyang Qing said politely and sincerely, "There's no need to call me a big star. I'm just an artist. Art is meant to reflect all aspects of life. Calling me a star makes me feel out of touch with the masses."
Lu Ye said, "Your level of thinking is truly profound."
Ouyang Qing said with a smile, "In my recent film, 'Rice Fragrance and Hometown,' I played a grassroots worker. I learned about the hardships and sweat of grassroots workers and ordinary people, which touched me deeply. Every time I see my fans in their work uniforms, I always feel a special warmth when I meet them."
Shen Zhenzhu's eyes narrowed with laughter: "Sister Qing, I feel especially close to you too."
Seeing how much she liked it, Ouyang Qing pinched Chen Zhenzhu's ponytail and said, "Looking into your eyes, I know you're just as stubborn and ambitious as I am. Being a criminal police officer must be very tough for a girl. Please be careful in the future."
Shen Zhenzhu said with a smug look, "Sister Qing, you have a good eye for people. I'm determined to improve myself."
Lu Ye said, "What about me?"
Ouyang Qing said, "You too."
Just three words.
Lu Ye: "..." The difference between men and women is so great.
"Hey, that's enough. We still have a schedule to catch up on." Ouyang Qing's older brother, who is also her manager, Ouyang Aihua, got out of the trainee car and urged Chen Zhenzhu and Lu Ye to leave.
Shen Zhenzhu and Lu Ye took several steps back, not having time to say much to Ouyang Qing, as Ouyang Aihua urged Ouyang Qing to get into the luxury car.
After speaking with Lu Qiao, Shao Li walked up to Chen Zhenzhu and Lu Ye, took out two autographed photos of Ouyang Qing from her bag, and said considerately, "I'm sorry, her brother was also upset by some enthusiastic fans. As an apology, please accept the autographed photos."
Lu Qiao, who was quite familiar with Shao Li, said a few words in her defense: "Qing's family has a very good relationship, and her brother is only doing it for her own good. Let's not worry about it."
"It's nothing. Ensuring Sister Qing's safety is the most important thing. Thank you, I will keep it safe." Shen Zhenzhu carefully accepted Ouyang Qing's autographed photo. Ouyang Qing, dressed in a floor-length evening gown, was elegant and dignified. Standing on the stage of a top-notch international awards ceremony, even among a gathering of stars, her star power could not be overshadowed.
"They waved goodbye to us." Lu Ye nudged Shen Zhenzhu with his elbow, and Shen Zhenzhu quickly looked towards the luxury car. Ouyang Qing rolled down the car window and said with a bright smile, "I have something to do today, see you next time."
"goodbye!"
After the luxury car left, Chen Zhenzhu, like a little country bumpkin, sniffed the perfume scent lingering in the air.
"Wow, this is really high-class."
Lu Ye said resentfully, "You're really like a pervert."
Shen Zhenzhu said smugly, "Yes, I am a pervert who upholds love and peace. What do you know about my perverted strength and perverted prowess?"
Lu Ye complained to Lu Qiao, "She's getting cocky! Even someone as famous as Sister Qing didn't get cocky, but she got cocky after taking two photos with Sister Qing—ouch—you hit me again!"
******
After practicing driving for a few days, Shen Zhenzhu was still getting used to the steering wheel, but she had already become friends with the small business owners selling wontons, guokui (a type of flatbread), mille-feuille, and stinky tofu next to the driving school.
She often arrives at the scene reeking of either the aroma of layered pancakes or the stench of stinky tofu. Fortunately, she has a sweet tongue and is happy to share, plus she learned from her past life to buy cigarettes for her driving instructor twice, which allows her to get away with almost anything.
I get up at 5:20 every morning, practice driving at 6:00, and then go to work. I don't mind working overtime.
"I don't know how I have so much energy." Lu Ye yawned as he returned to his office, having skipped his daily morning driving practice. These past few days, he'd been walking with a limp, constantly trying to stretch his muscles.
"Breaking news! Media captured Ouyang Qing verbally abusing staff, suspected of being arrogant." Chen Junsheng never misses gossip newspapers, displaying the relaxed attitude typical of people from Hong Kong.
I wake up early with bread and milk in front of me, and then I open an entertainment news magazine to comment on it.
When he saw Chen Zhenzhu arrive, he read it to her, hoping to attract her attention.
As expected, Shen Zhenzhu was drawn over and bent down next to him to see the photos of Ouyang Qing that had been taken.
In the photo, Ouyang Qing is seen frowning and seemingly saying something to a female staff member on the film set.
"It's obviously just hearsay," Shen Zhenzhu muttered. "Sister Qing is such a nice person. She talked to me a lot, but only said three words to Brother Aye."
Chen Junsheng said, "Celebrities are valued for their image. The celebrities in my hometown rarely talk to ordinary people; they need to maintain an air of mystery. They also keep their privacy very tightly under wraps. What you see is what they want you to see; you can hardly imagine their true personalities."
Chen Zhenzhu still didn't believe it.
Chen Junsheng didn't want to dampen her spirits any further, as Shen Zhenzhu had been constantly talking about seeing Sister Qing these past two days.
Unexpectedly, when I turned the page, I saw a large photo of Ouyang Qing, which prominently read "International Film Queen Ouyang Qing, Leader of the Night Banquet Film Production Factory".
Shen Zhenzhu glanced over furtively and took a blurry photo through the hotel window. In the photo, Ouyang Qing, wearing a long dress, was raising a glass to toast a middle-aged man. Although only the two of them were in the picture, Shen Zhenzhu said with certainty, "There must be other people in there. They've all been captured."
"So that's how it works?" Lu Ye came over at some point, glanced at it a few times, and said, "I don't think there's anything wrong with it either. The headlines are just sensationalism. These unscrupulous media outlets are exaggerating too much."
Chen Junsheng doesn't know much about the mainland entertainment market. He said honestly, "Ouyang Qing is also frequently featured in our local gossip reports. He has a lot of scandals, a bad temper, and a lot of negative press."
He didn't say what came next. It's possible that some Hong Kong entertainment companies are smearing mainland stars to protect their own artists, but many people have been misled as a result and don't have a good impression of her.
“That’s you. I have a very good impression of Sister Qing.” Shen Zhenzhu took out a few movie tickets from her pocket and handed them out one by one: “These are from Sister Shaoli. The movie ‘Blind Wife’ premieres next Saturday. She wants us to go see it.”
Shen Zhenzhu gave Wu Zhongguo two more bills, saying, "Let's go as a family."
Gu Yanzheng came in from outside. Recently, Shen Zhenzhu had noticed that he was rarely seen. But as an assistant, she couldn't exactly drag her boss into doing her work, so she forcefully shoved a movie ticket into Gu Yanzheng's hand and drifted away.
Gu Yanzheng stared at the movie ticket in surprise, not understanding what Chen Zhenzhu meant.
Looking up, Gu Yanzheng saw Wu Zhongguo smiling and waving several movie tickets in his hand. He silently put the movie tickets into his pocket.
"Give me justice! We demand the truth!"
"Give me justice! We demand the truth!"
...
Suddenly, protest slogans were heard downstairs. Shen Zhenzhu went to the window and looked down, only to see the family of Hu Mingyu, whom she had suffocated to death a few days ago, blocking the entrance of the Criminal Investigation Team.
Holding white banners and chanting slogans, they were led by Hu Mingyu's elderly parents, followed by more than ten other people who all looked refined and of varying ages, likely friends and relatives from the cultural circle.
Holding a megaphone, Hu's mother tearfully accused the Liancheng Criminal Investigation Team at the entrance: "The Liancheng Criminal Investigation Team closed the case arbitrarily, ignoring the many unclear marks on my son's body. They only glanced at the scene a few times before hastily concluding that it was suicide! They even said it was an accidental death by 'sexual asphyxiation'! What a joke! This is simply throwing mud on my family's cold corpse!"
The staff on duty at the gatehouse immediately came out to dissuade them: "If the family members are dissatisfied with the case's outcome, they can go in and communicate. Why call the media?"
Supported by others, Mr. Hu, who nearly suffered a stroke the night his youngest son died, tearfully questioned, "I refuse to accept this! Did your police thoroughly investigate who he last saw? Did you check his communication records? Did you understand his social connections? You say the scars inflicted by the murderer were 'self-inflicted' by my son? Could my son have tied himself up and hanged himself?! Absolutely not! You just glanced at him, patted your chest, and made a judgment!"
Hu's parents, Hu Mingyu, and his wife all came. Hu Mingyu also followed his father's instructions and called over his classmates from the newspaper to record the confrontation.
He angrily took the megaphone and shouted, "I think you're just afraid of trouble and want to get rid of this case as soon as possible! Murder cases must be solved? I think it's murder cases that must be closed! 'Sexual asphyxiation' is such a good excuse. It doesn't sound honorable. Even if we, the family, have doubts, we won't dare to investigate further for the sake of Mingyu's reputation. Isn't that what you're planning?"
Pointing at the office building, Hu's mother shouted, "You must give us an explanation today! If you are unable or unwilling to investigate, we will report to our superiors and seek help from the media! This case cannot be concluded so vaguely with 'suicide' and 'sexual asphyxiation'! We want the truth! We want the truth!"
Shen Zhenzhu looked down at them, her face expressionless.
Zhao Qiqi said from the side, "They're really something else. It's his son's business if his death is dishonorable. We're handling the case objectively. If they don't accept it, that's their business. What's the point of making a scene here?"
"Just quietly handle your affairs after death." Wu Zhongguo naturally believed that Shen Zhenzhu's abilities would not lead to a misjudgment of such a simple case.
He sighed and said, "Raising big banners and calling on the media, I wonder if there's a crack in the ground to crawl into in the underworld."
Chen Junsheng also went to the scene and followed the forensic team to conduct a step-by-step examination and analysis, which was consistent with Shen Zhenzhu's judgment at the Hu family's house that afternoon.
He frowned and said, "What kind of mentality is this? If there's such a shameful thing going on in the family, it's better to hide it quickly."
"What's their mentality?" Shen Zhenzhu said with a forced smile, "They came here to make trouble not to seek the truth about Hu Mingyu's death, but to maintain their accumulated cultural reputation, social status, and moral image. Hu Mingyu's death is completely contrary to their cultural values of 'decency,' 'restraint,' and 'civilization,' and it is an extreme humiliation. The official conclusion is a label, and also an indelible stain."
“Section Chief Shen’s analysis is correct.” Gu Yanzheng walked to Shen Zhenzhu’s side, looked downstairs, and said with a sneer, “This kind of death by ‘sexual asphyxiation’ is linked to the traditional concepts of ‘moral depravity,’ ‘debauchery,’ and ‘perversion,’ which is a more shocking and shameful disgrace. They insist that we did not handle things well, trying to cover up the truth with a reason they think is less shameful. Having a murderer is far more acceptable than having a son with such a shameful sexual fetish.”
Zhao Qiqi said angrily, "So they know perfectly well that the outcome is correct, but they have to put on a show for their relatives and friends, and they have to make such a fuss?"
Gu Yanzheng nodded and said, "This is sending a signal of resistance to the outside world, representing 'We will never accept the insulting conclusion, and we will fight to the end but still cannot change the result.' They are establishing the image of a victim's family rather than a family involved in a scandal, thereby gaining sympathy and leeway in public opinion and minimizing the social damage to the family."
Shen Zhenzhu walked to the desk, took off her uniform jacket, and concluded: "They are not seeking the truth about their son's death, but rather fighting for the right to speak in the future. By publicly accusing the investigators, they are trying to fabricate a victim story of 'unfair investigation' to cover up and replace the family scandal of 'obsessed with sex-asphyxiation and accidentally died of sex-asphyxiation,' in order to preserve their last bit of dignity among acquaintances and cultural circles."
"Hey, Pearl, where are you going?" Lu Ye almost bumped into Chen Zhenzhu, and stepped aside, saying, "Shall I go with you?"
What could Chen Zhenzhu possibly do? She wanted to go down and confront them!
She, Chen Zhenzhu, NO, a coward!
Gu Yanzheng pulled her close, saying, "You were analyzing things so logically just now, why did you act impulsively?"
Shen Zhenzhu looked up with a straight face: "I'm not angry. I'll go and reason with them."
Gu Yanzheng said, "As your direct supervisor, I know the whole case, and I was the one who signed off on the final case. I'll go downstairs and talk to them. You stay put and don't go downstairs."
Chen Zhenzhu stood still.
Gu Yanzheng chuckled and said, "Didn't you say you weren't angry?"
Shen Zhenzhu said, "I hate being trampled on."
Whether it's using words or actions.
Gu Yanzheng repeated, "You stay here, I'll go down and take care of it quickly."
Standing by the window, Zhao Qiqi said, "You two stop arguing. Section Chief Qin, along with Rong Chengcheng and Lu Xiaobao from the forensic department, rushed over. It seems that Hu Mingyu's family has challenged his professional authority!"
Wu Zhongguo looked out the window and said, "That's true. The examination reports were all issued by the forensic department, and Section Chief Qin must have signed them. The family wanted an autopsy but we didn't, and now they're making a scene. This isn't just targeting us; it's completely offended them too."
"Um, our section chief said you shouldn't go down there!" A junior intern from the forensic department ran up, panting, and said, "He, he's extremely, extremely, extremely angry, and he's going to risk his entire career to fight them! He's going to take the body to the provincial capital in a bit, and we'll see if the family agrees!"
Qin An's voice was louder than Hu's mother's even without using a loudspeaker downstairs. Chen Zhenzhu could hear it clearly upstairs. Every word he spoke was scathing, and he showed everyone the evidence photos and analysis reports.
He also pledged his 20 years of work experience as collateral, saying that if it was murder, he would hang himself in Hu Mingyu's house!
"..." Shen Zhenzhu was completely overwhelmed by Qin An's outburst of anger and lost all her temper. She touched her neck; she was definitely not going to hang herself.
"Section Chief Qin really protects his subordinates," Chen Junsheng remarked.
Gu Yanzheng said quietly behind him, "Do you also want me to go and hang myself?"
"..." Chen Junsheng felt once again that he was being targeted by Captain Gu.
Waaah. Interns are having such a tough time.
downstairs.
"I...I won't listen to your sweet talk, I want the truth!" Faced with Qin An's confrontation, Hu's mother seemed to lack confidence.
Hu's father sat on the curb with his eyes closed beside her, while Hu Mingyu and his wife stood guard to the side. Other relatives and friends secretly tore down the banner, realizing that the situation was probably different from what the Hu family had said.
"Why call just one newspaper? Call all the news media in the city and make them publish the truth throughout the city. If my people are wrong, I'll kowtow eight hundred times to your whole family!"
Qin An rushed to the reception room, pulled out a landline, and started flipping through the Yellow Pages, dialing various media outlets in alphabetical order, such as "Liancheng Legal Online," "Bohai News," "Binhai Daily," and "Liancheng People's Home."
"No, don't be impulsive. We're leaving, we're leaving." The Hu family never expected that the criminal investigation team would be even more ruthless than they were, arriving and leaving just as quickly. Nearly twenty people hurriedly got into the car, leaving behind a mess.
The fourth team's office on the fifth floor, where everyone who had watched the whole spectacle was gathered.
"Tsk tsk..."
"Tsk tsk tsk."
"Tsk tsk tsk..."
Chen Zhenzhu pulled out a plastic bag, went to the food cabinet, grabbed some jelly, sachima, and preserved plum candy, and said, "Let's go down and visit Section Chief Qin."
Lu Ye pulled a case of soda from under the cabinet and slung it over his shoulder: "Here it is."
