Under the white curtain of the cloudy sky, the atmosphere became increasingly oppressive.
The atmosphere at the scene was tense. There would be heavy rain in an hour, and everyone was afraid that all the evidence would be washed away. So they searched intensively and finally found the body of the old housekeeper in a drainage ditch in the forest!
He was stabbed twice in the heart and died instantly!
Not only that, the old housekeeper’s cell phone was also found nearby!
Looking at the old housekeeper's pale face, Ning Yichu was heartbroken. The old housekeeper had been with her grandmother for many years, and he had taken care of her many times when she went in and out of the old house...
But now, because of investigating the fire, he has become a corpse!
To put it bluntly, she was the one who dragged them into this...
"I'm sorry..." Ning Yichu said with a hoarse voice in guilt in the dark rain.
Li Lingyang looked at Ning Yichu's pained face, and his heart was clenched into a ball. He knew the old housekeeper might have been murdered, but he didn't expect it to be so shocking...
Damn it, he shouldn’t have brought Ning Yichu here!
"The old butler knows who to hate. He won't blame you. Don't blame yourself too much." Li Lingyang whispered to comfort him.
Ning Yichu bit her lower lip until it was almost bleeding. If she had driven a little faster, it would have been her grandmother who became a corpse...
A cold light flashed in her eyes, and she suddenly looked at him seriously, "Is there any clue in the old housekeeper's phone?"
Li Lingyang pursed his thin lips and looked at Special Assistant Xu.
Special Assistant Xu immediately said, "We checked. The phone was smashed, but the SIM card is still there. Maybe we can find some clues."
Actually, there are quite a few clues now, but they are all very messy. However, one more is never too much. Ning Yichu said softly, "Please, Special Assistant Xu, if you can find anything, please tell me."
She must find that scumbag and not even let the old man go!!
brute……!
"Miss Ning, you are too polite. I will inform you if I have any clues." Special Assistant Xu said hurriedly, thinking that President Li is eager to get close to you when he has time. If he finds a clue, he will take the initiative to find her without her asking.
The atmosphere was too solemn, so Li Lingyang waved his hand and arranged for someone to take the old butler's body away.
The old butler had a white cloth covering his face and was carried out on a stretcher by bodyguards.
The hanging hands were covered in dirt and blood, which was shocking to see.
Countless memories were brought back to mind, and a hint of forbearance appeared in the depths of Li Lingyang's dark eyes. "Send someone to bury him properly, and also take good care of the old housekeeper's family."
"yes!"
After the old housekeeper's SIM card was repaired, the old housekeeper's recent call records were easily retrieved.
The one who came most frequently was a man named Dean Li.
And there was contact just before 8 o'clock on the day of the accident!
Ning Yichu was shocked at first.
This morning, the private detective also found out that the old housekeeper has been contacting an old friend on behalf of Madam Li. Could it be that this is Dean Li?
Ning Yichu grasped this clue and asked, "Li Lingyang, do you know what this Dean Li does?"
Li Lingyang's gaze lingered on the phone number, his eyes dark. "It seems he's the director of a private hospital in the capital..."
"Director of the hospital? Which department? What project?"
"...Biological testing and identification!"
The moment Li Lingyang finished speaking, Ning Yichu's breath skipped a beat, and her eyes widened nervously. Biological identification? Did grandma discover someone's background?
It wasn't just Ning Yichu, countless guesses instantly emerged in Li Lingyang's mind.
His expression changed instantly, and in less than a second, he seemed to suddenly realize something and his tone became cold.
"Oh no, Dean Li might be in trouble too!"
The other party brutally killed the old butler. It was obvious that they wanted to shut them up forever and hide the truth!
Ning Yichu understood what Li Lingyang meant, and suddenly felt a strong sense of unease in his heart, so he quickly dialed the number.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later..."
"The murderer may be on the move again. Locate Dean Li immediately!"
After Li Lingyang finished making the arrangements, he paused and his complicated gaze rested on Ning Yichu.
"It might be dangerous next. I'll send someone to take you home first..."
She must not have any problems!
The truth is right in front of him. How can Ning Yichu go home and wait for news at this time?
I guess he's going to die of anxiety!
She looked determined, "Li Lingyang, let me go with you. I promise to take good care of myself and won't cause any trouble for you..."
This isn't a question of whether to add to the chaos...
It involves her life safety.
"Please, my grandmother was injured because of me, and the old housekeeper lost his life. Even if you let me go home, do you think I can really calm down and wait for you to tell me the truth?"
Seeing her persistent gaze, Li Lingyang finally gave in and said, "Just follow my instructions."
"no problem!"
“…”
After agreeing, everyone set off and returned to the city.
Special Assistant Xu was very efficient and quickly determined the location of Dean Li.
It was sent to Li Lingyang’s cell phone.
"Boss Li, Dean Li's schedule today is to hold an academic seminar on the top floor of Zhengyang Building!"
"Estimated time: the meeting will end in about five minutes..."
In other words, Dean Li is safe for the time being.
…
On the other side, Dean Li had no idea that danger was approaching.
After the academic discussion meeting he attended at Zhengyang Building ended, the door to the conference room opened and he walked out while chatting with a group of colleagues...
I realized I forgot to bring something, so I turned back halfway.
When I came out again, the corridor was much quieter.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a series of footsteps were heard behind him, and then someone called him, "Dean Li——"
Dean Li heard the voice and turned around in confusion, then saw a man wearing a black baseball cap walking towards him.
Dean Li confirmed that he did not recognize the man in front of him, and a puzzled look appeared in his eyes. "Who are you? What can I do for you?"
"Director Li, I heard you're an expert in this area of laboratory medicine. I have a few questions I'd like to ask you, so I'm sorry to bother you..."
At this point, the man in the black hat paused and pretended to have a headache. "Every family has its own problems. I want to consult you about paternity testing!"
As the saying goes, a doctor is like a parent to his parents. Dean Li was moved when he heard this.
"I understand. What exactly do you want to ask?"
"Dean Li, it's not convenient to talk here. Why don't we go to the conference room?" the man in the black hat asked tentatively.
Upon hearing this, Dean Li felt that the time was not too much of a bother, so he agreed.
The two returned to the conference room.
Everyone had left long ago, and the entire large flat was empty and silent.
The rain was still falling outside the window, and a thin layer of mist was hanging on the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, adding a sense of weirdness.
"Dean Li, what does it feel like to fall from the 20th floor?"
