Chapter 697: Game within a game
"Well, the incident happened at your branch, so I'm sorry to bother you."
"It's not a problem. Thank you, Brother Bai, for your help." The other party was also very polite.
Afterwards, Bai Yi went back and briefly explained what happened, but concealed the part about the black gas.
Because police investigations rely on evidence, things that are too metaphysical cannot be written in the files.
"Okay, Brother Bai."
"We'll take a statement once the suspect wakes up."
At this time, a man in a white coat came out and said, "Who sent this patient here? Let me tell you about his condition."
Bai Yi and Tu Ran walked over immediately.
"This man was stabbed. We have already pulled out the dagger and stopped the bleeding."
"Fortunately, the knife avoided all vital parts, so the patient's life is not in danger."
Hearing this, Bai Yi turned his head and suddenly, he was impressed. He was indeed a medical student.
"However, during our examination, we discovered that the patient had a serious mental illness."
"Mental illness? This is what you're trying to do?" Bai Yi frowned.
If he is really mentally ill, this matter will be difficult to deal with.
Mentally ill people are not held legally responsible.
But Tu Ran was very calm, as if she had thought of such an outcome a long time ago.
She had said before that she suspected this man was not a professional killer, but rather a scapegoat.
Being controlled by others and used as a gun.
"Go and pay the fee. The patient needs hospitalization."
"Okay, thank you for your help, doctor." After saying that, Bai Yi turned around to pay the fee.
Tu Ran wanted to go, but was stopped by him.
"I'll pay the money. We police can collect it from the family later. If you pay, it will be wasted. Many families won't return it, and the lawsuit will be long and troublesome. You wouldn't pay for the medical expenses of someone who wants to kill you, would you?"
"I'm not that kind." Tu Ran replied.
Bai Yi smiled and left. Before leaving, he asked the police to investigate the man's identity.
Later, the police entered the emergency room and performed facial recognition on the patient to investigate his identity information.
When Bai Yi came back after paying the fee, his identity information was also released.
Bai Yi took the mobile phone information and said to Tu Ran, "As you expected, he is really a scapegoat."
"This man's name is Zhang Jian, male, 35 years old, unmarried, and a native of Xiangcheng."
"I've suffered from schizophrenia since I was a child. When I was fifteen, I once hacked a neighbor to death."
"When I was 21, I had another attack and almost killed my girlfriend."
"Then he was sent to a mental hospital by his family, and has been living there for the past few years."
"We have contacted the hospital. They checked the surveillance footage and said he escaped secretly."
Tu Ran was silent...
"Neither you nor Xie Nancheng know this person, right?" Bai Yi asked.
Tu Ran shook his head. How could he know her? She was a completely unrelated person.
"We have asked the hospital to cooperate with the investigation to see if anyone suspicious has recently approached Zhang Jian alone. This may lead to the identification of the person behind the incident."
"I feel there's little hope. The person behind this won't be exposed so easily."
"And I told you, they used sorcery to control this mentally ill person, making him come to a designated location with a clear goal of killing me."
"Oh right, the online taxi driver..."
"He's also suspicious, the path he took me on."
"But when the incident happened, the ride-hailing driver had already run away in fear."
"But I have a record of online taxi bookings here. You can check it."
Tu Ran took out his cell phone and checked the message.
"Okay, I'll get someone to check right away."
After the two of them had been busy like this, it was already very late.
But at this time, Xie Nancheng didn't know that his wife was in trouble.
He went to meet with the leaders of the Municipal Bureau.
In a high-end residential area in Xiangcheng, Xie Nancheng was drinking tea with a man across from him who was about fifty years old.
"Uncle Liu, I'm sorry to bother you so late."
"Why are you being so polite to me? I called you here to tell you about the current situation of the case. You need to make arrangements early."
Xie Nancheng nodded.
It can be said that Uncle Liu was promoted to the top by him and his father.
They contribute both manpower and effort simply because they think this person is useful.
However, when Xie Huaiyu was in power, he did not pay much attention to this person.
At that time, he was just the branch chief.
But you have to know that a prefecture-level city has many branch directors.
But only a few can enter the provincial department, and the higher the position, the harder it is to climb.
After Xie Nancheng took over a few years ago, he had contact with this person several times and was very satisfied with him.
Then he added fuel to the fire and was admitted all the way.
Now he is one of the most important figures in the province.
But he did not forget his kindness and did help Xie Nancheng all the time.
"The traffic police team cooperated and arrested the man, but because he was suspected of intentional homicide, he was transferred to our branch office. After a preliminary investigation, the branch office came to a conclusion that the man insisted that it was your intention and that he received money to hit Qiao Kelan."
"Because of your father's relationship with Ms. Qiao, his words are very convincing, don't you understand?"
"I understand, Uncle Liu." Xie Nancheng just listened carefully.
"Normally, without evidence, one side's story wouldn't be credible. So we asked him to provide evidence. We discovered that he did receive a sum of 500,000 yuan in his account three days ago."
"And you should know the person who transferred this money." After saying that, Old Man Liu glanced at Xie Nancheng.
His heart skipped a beat. "Who?"
In fact, he was really afraid of Yang Xin or Xie Huaishan. After all, he didn't keep an eye on them after he reused them.
"He's a supervisor in the Finance Department of your Shengshi Group, his name is Wang Xing."
"Wang Xing?" Xie Nancheng was stunned.
"We do have such a supervisor, but he's not from our headquarters. If I remember correctly, he should be from a branch office."
"Anyway, this guy is indeed from your Shengshi Group, and the account he used to transfer the money was also a company account. Pretty impressive, right?"
Xie Nancheng's expression changed, "How dare he."
"Of course I know it's not you."
"But now that the evidence is indeed there, the Normal Branch will go and arrest Wang Xing tonight."
"But I didn't approve it. I procrastinated."
"I want to give you time to operate."
"Thank you, Mr. Liu. This is very important to me." Xie Nancheng was of course grateful. If Wang Xing was arrested tonight, he would definitely insist that it was his intention.
You can ignore what the truck driver says, but Wang Xing is from Shengshi Group.
By the time the news comes out and the press release is issued, he really won’t be able to count them.
Especially if Wang Xing is arrested, he will have no way to defend himself.
"We are all family, you are welcome."
"It's getting late. I won't keep you here any longer. Go and deal with it."
"Tomorrow morning, we will catch Wang Xing."
"I understand. Thank you, Uncle Liu."
"I'll visit you another day."
"Okay." The old man stood up and walked him to the door, not forgetting to remind him, "Try not to break up with your father. There's no such thing as an overnight grudge between a father and son. Your father was also bewitched by someone. Old Xie is a very good person."
"I know." Xie Nancheng nodded, then drove back to the headquarters again.
He only contacted Xu Xin and the head of the finance department, and investigated Wang Xing overnight.
When he returned to Tianyi Pavilion from the company, Tu Ran was already lying in bed, but he was not asleep. He was waiting for Xie Nancheng.
She didn't tell him that she was ambushed.
Bai Yi also promised her that he would not make it public.
It was originally a low-key case, with no casualties on either side, and the other party was a mental patient, so the matter would probably end up with nothing. But if Xie Nancheng knew about it, he would probably want to kill him and find a way to kill this mental patient. Tu Ran didn't want to do that, not because he was kind, but because he was afraid that this was also a trap, and that someone was waiting to catch Xie Nancheng.
As soon as the boss came back, he acted coquettishly and rubbed Tu Ran's face with his nose.
"I'm sorry, honey, I came home late today."
The boss looked at his watch guiltily. It was already two o'clock in the morning.
"Are you scared when you're home alone?"
