Chapter 140 Chapter 140 Savior Partner, Help Me
While Ji Mingcheng was chatting with Lu Jianian and Ouyang Chi, Qiu Jiang checked the amount on the contract again and again, her rosy little face full of disbelief.
I even suspected that I was seeing things and didn't dare to believe that the numbers on it were real.
While Ji Mingcheng was talking, he even glanced at her. Seeing that she hadn't started writing yet, he couldn't help but ask, "Are you not satisfied?"
It was as if as long as she said the price was still low, he would negotiate a higher price for her.
“No, no, no—”
Qiu Jiang shook her hands repeatedly, and in order to avoid misunderstanding, she signed it directly.
The deal is officially done.
Ouyang Chi smiled and said, "Miss Qiu, I've tested your anti-itch powder. It's also very effective in relieving itching when taken internally. However, we haven't figured out the specific mechanism yet, so we may need your cooperation in the future. Please forgive me if this bothers me."
"I'm fine." Qiu Jiang agreed quickly.
"That's good." Ouyang Chi smiled as if bathed in the spring breeze.
Ji Mingcheng couldn't smile like that. He could only ruthlessly speed up the process. "Now that the contract has been signed, let's go through the process. Ouyang, when can you transfer the money?"
Captain Ji is truly her god.
Qiu Jiang liked his decisive personality and looked at them eagerly.
Wait for the results.
"It can be done tomorrow." Ouyang Chi replied.
Ji Mingcheng nodded, then nudged his chin towards Qiu Jiang. "I'll give you a card, Brother Ouyang. Make sure you can receive the two million and any subsequent dividends."
"Okay." Qiu Jiang responded loudly.
After finishing these trivial matters, Ji Mingcheng and Lu Jianian, as hosts, invited Ouyang Chi to dinner.
On the way back after dinner, there were only two of them in the car.
Qiu Jiang stared at the contract, looking at it over and over again, almost seeing tears in her eyes.
"So happy?" Ji Mingcheng asked.
She clutched the contract tightly in her hands and said frankly, "Of course. Captain Ji, this is two million. Two million."
You have to know that in this era, you can buy a good house of more than 100 square meters for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan. What is the equivalent of these two million yuan? As long as she is not picky, it would be easy for her to buy ten or so houses.
Not to mention the profit share from sales that he had secured for her. Even though the percentage was extremely low, even a small amount was still meat. Maybe this anti-itching powder would sell well, and she would have a steady source of income in the future.
Isn’t this happy enough?
"Okay, as long as you are happy." Ji Mingcheng changed his words readily.
"Thank you, Captain Ji, for helping me get such good conditions." Qiu Jiang thanked him with a sweet smile.
Even if she had never done business before, Dr. Ouyang's family business was so big. Even if he was obsessed with medicine, he would not be ignorant of business. How could he give her such good conditions so easily?
Unless it is for someone's sake and you have talked to the other person privately.
Although she knew that Team Ji was a very nice group of people, Qiu Jiang still didn't know how to thank him this time.
This girl is quite reserved now.
Ji Mingcheng grumbled in his heart, but he didn't know what to say, so he emphasized his request as she wished.
"Then work hard and make up for the debt you owed in the past half month."
"No problem, sir."
She saluted him in the Hong Kong way.
Her movements were so standard that he wondered if she had received special training in Hong Kong.
But he knew that was completely impossible. The only reason he could think of was that this girl was gifted and could learn most of what she had seen or heard elsewhere.
They were now heading towards the police station. After getting off the car, Qiu Jiang skipped towards the team. As soon as she walked up the stairs to the second floor, she saw familiar figures coming down the stairs.
Qiu Jiang looked up and greeted them with a smile.
"Brother Wang, Xingwang, where are you going?"
"Partner, my dear partner, you are finally back. I need you. I really need you so much. Come with us quickly."
When Deng Xingwang saw her, he felt like he had seen a savior and pulled her out.
I happened to meet Ji Mingcheng who was going upstairs after parking the car.
"Team Ji, hold this for me."
In a panic, she handed the document to him and was then pulled away by Deng Xingwang.
Ji Mingcheng held the contract in his hand and asked Wang Li, who was standing beside him, "Is the case not yet completed?"
"Yes, that's why Xingwang is anxious."
"I understand. After all, this is your first time taking on such a big responsibility. You should keep a close eye on it."
Wang Li quickly responded, "Yes."
"Team Ji, I'll go first."
Ji Mingcheng waved his hand and asked them to leave.
I went to report the case in the provincial capital to the director as agreed.
He has been urged to do this for the whole morning. It would be unreasonable to push it any further.
He hurried to the director's office on the fourth floor.
Anyway, no one can be idle after returning.
Not only him, but also Qiu Jiang.
After getting on the bus, Qiu Jiang had a pile of information stuffed into her hands before she even sat down.
She looked at Deng Xingwang in confusion, "This is..."
"The general situation of the case."
Deng Xingwang held her hands with both of his own. "Partner, you must help me. I can only rely on you now."
Qiu Jiang was completely confused by his pitiful appearance.
"Why don't you tell me what it is first."
Deng Xingwang was so moved that he started talking immediately.
"Three days ago, a building in a residential complex caught fire. Firefighters discovered a couple and a five-year-old boy lying in bed inside. They had been burned to a crisp. Because someone had died, a forensic doctor was called in. An autopsy confirmed the cause of death wasn't burns in their sleep, but mechanical asphyxiation. In other words, someone murdered the family of three and then set them on fire."
"This case was originally investigated by Brother Chen, Brother Guo, Brother Wang, and me, but because there have been so many meetings in the city recently, Brother Chen and Brother Guo are either attending meetings or training sessions, so Brother Wang and I are currently the main investigators on this case."
"But, this case has dragged on for three days and there's still no result."
Captain Ji originally wanted to test their case-handling skills, but he was very anxious because they hadn't solved the case for three days.
In fact, he also knew that with the current level of technology, not solving a case in three days was not considered inefficient at all.
However, their team's time in solving cases in the past six months has been amazing, and I don't know how many miracles they have created.
As a member of Team Five, how could he be willing to fall so far behind?
He was so anxious during these three days that a lot of blisters appeared in his mouth, which made him very anxious.
"Originally, when you came this morning, I wanted to ask you for help. Who knew that Captain Ji would take you away? I have no choice but to ask for help from outside. You really have to help me."
"I will definitely help me, but I still don't know where this case is stuck. Please wait while I look at the information."
"Hey, look, you look first."
Deng Xingwang held his breath beside her, afraid that any noise would interrupt her train of thought.
Qiu Jiang herself was fine, but she was really afraid that if she looked too slowly, Xingwang would suffocate and pass out.
So she read faster.
After about five minutes, she finally understood the general situation of the case.
She paused for a moment before speaking, "So, based on the fingerprints found at the scene and the testimonies of residents, we can confirm that seven people had been to the victim's home more than once three or four days prior. Only two of them have direct alibis for the night of the crime and have been released. The other five have no witnesses to prove their whereabouts that night, and all five insist they didn't commit the murder. And since we haven't found the murder weapon, we can't identify the murderer, right?"
"Yes, yes, that's it."
"Brother Wang and I interrogated these five people like crazy. Brother Guo and Brother Chen also came to fill in whenever they were free. But they all admitted to being at the deceased's home, but they refused to admit to killing anyone."
"Jiang Jiang, you don't know how cruel this murderer is. Among the three people in the family he killed, the man was stabbed in the neck, but he wasn't dead when he was stabbed. Later, the murderer pulled out the murder weapon and strangled him to death. I can't imagine how much pain he was in before his death. But because the sharp knife has not been found yet, if we can't find it during the interrogation, we really have to let those people go."
"You said he could be so cruel as to kill this family. Who knows if he won't kill more people in the future? If the killer is really one of these five, then we'll really be letting the tiger go back to the mountain."
He really couldn't accept that result.
Qiu Jiang knew it very well.
She lowered her head and reviewed the information again. After a while, she raised her head and frowned, asking, "Why did so many people go to the deceased's home?"
Wang Li, who was sitting in the front seat, said, "Because of the guarantee."
"What guarantee?" Qiu Jiang looked at him and asked.
"A year ago, the deceased, Wang Qiushan's cousin, Wang Qiumin, asked the deceased to be a guarantor on a loan agreement he had with someone else, claiming he needed cash to start a business. Later, his cousin's company failed to perform well and went bankrupt. To avoid the debt, he ran away from home and has not returned since. Since the borrower couldn't be found, the deceased, as the guarantor, became their target for debt collection."
After Wang Li finished speaking, she expressed her confusion.
"Why don't they contact Wang Qiumin's family? They'll always be able to find out about Wang Qiumin, right? Wouldn't that be faster than contacting the deceased as a guarantor?"
"Who said we didn't look for it? We did, but we didn't find it."
When talking about this, Wang Li's tone was very subtle.
Qiu Jiang keenly felt that there must be something else going on here.
Now it was Deng Xingwang's turn to answer her questions. "At first, they went after Wang Qiumin's family, but do you know what happened? They said it was useless to go after them. They said even if they killed their whole family, Wang Qiumin wouldn't be brought back. They also said that instead of going after them, they should go after whoever signed the IOU for them."
Deng Xingwang became angry as he spoke.
"Tell me what kind of people are this family? They kindly guaranteed their son, but when their son ran away, they dragged them down with him. He's even their nephew, and they have absolutely no regard for family."
"That's why these seven people went looking for Wang Qiushan's family for several days straight. Who would have thought that they would end up murdering him? Tell me, are Wang Qiumin's family bastards and a disaster?"
"Bah—"
Deng Xingwang felt so disgusted when he mentioned them that his mouth was dirty.
However, as long as this case is not closed, they will definitely have to deal with such a disgusting family.
Just thinking about it makes him vomit.
