Chapter 63 Chapter 63 Find the police and make a deal...
"Comrade leader, we were drinking with Gou Jianzhang, Chen Hai and others last night, but we didn't do anything. I think it's a misunderstanding that you suddenly called us all here today." The only woman among them spoke.
"Misunderstanding?" Ji Mingcheng tapped the table. "Then let's talk about our misunderstanding."
The six of them frowned, looked at each other, and decided not to mess with this criminal police captain whose background and origins they didn't know, so someone told them about the jokes they had made in the past few days.
"Here's what happened. A few days ago, Jianzhang lost a game of dare. He chose to take the risk, and then someone suggested he tell his family he'd been kidnapped to see how they'd react. Jianzhang got addicted to it, and has been playing it to scare his wife these past few days, saying she'll accept the loss and play to the end. He'll also invest as much as his wife gets back in the next partnership."
"So the kidnapping was all fake. Nothing happened. It was just a joke. I'm sorry to have caused you trouble, police officers. I apologize on behalf of everyone else."
After she briefly recounted what happened, the other five people didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just a game and there was no need to make such a fuss.
I also feel that Gou Jianzhang's wife is really not decent enough. She even called the police for such a small matter.
Although they felt very excited before coming and wanted to see the reaction of the police, no one expected that the person who came would be such a criminal police captain with unknown origins and unknown depth. He was rude and unceremonious to them, which made them feel a little humiliated. Anyway, they were definitely not wrong, so they turned their anger to Gou Jianzhang's current wife, Lu Xiaoqin.
Ji Mingcheng was unaware of their thoughts. He simply frowned and said coldly, "When has kidnapping ever been considered a joke? How much police resources have been wasted just because of a joke like yours? You really should apologize."
His serious criticism made them all feel wronged. After all, it was not they who proposed the proposal, nor did they agree to it. They just helped to scare Lu Xiaoqin in the middle of the night, but that was also agreed by Gou Jianzhang.
How come I was criticized in the end?
If you want to criticize someone, criticize Gou Jianzhang. What's the point of being mean to them?
Their expressions didn't reveal what they meant, especially veteran detective Chen Da, who immediately sarcastically said, "Why would we come looking for you if we could find him? You're the last people the deceased had contact with before he died. Even if it weren't for Gou Jianzhang's matter, we would still come looking for you."
They didn't take it seriously at first, but when they heard the word he said, they looked at each other in confusion, thinking they had misheard.
But it’s impossible that everyone misheard it.
"Dead, deceased? Gou Jianzhang is dead?"
"Who told you he was dead? It was Chen Hai who died. Someone confirmed that you were drinking together at nine o'clock last night. After drinking, Gou Jianzhang and Chen Hai left together. What else do you know? Do you know a woman named Feng Yueting? Do you know if they had any grudges? And..."
His words obviously hit them hard, and the six of them stood up in shock and interrupted him directly.
"What?"
"Chen Hai is dead?"
"How is that possible? They were fine when they left, how could they be dead?"
"No, police officer, you can't ask us about this. We were still here when they left, so there's no way we could have anything to do with his death. Besides, the only one who might know something is Gou Jianzhang. They went out together and were definitely together at night. This has nothing to do with us."
At this moment, they changed their relaxed attitude of staying out of the matter and kept trying to distance themselves from it, for fear that they would be involved in such a thing. This made Chen Da almost anxious to death.
"Nonsense! If Gou Jianzhang could be found, why would we have gone to all that trouble to find you? I'm telling you, Gou Jianzhang was also at the crime scene. We want to know if he and Chen Hai have had any disagreements or conflicts recently, if he might have been involved in the murder with someone else, and do you know Feng Yueting?"
However anxious he was, these six people were even more anxious.
"I really don't know any Feng or Ting. I just know they left with that Jiamei. They must have gone somewhere to have some fun. If anything happened, they should have asked that woman. I can guarantee that they were fine when they left."
Chen Da immediately grasped the key point, "Who is Jiamei?"
"He's a bartender. People here know him, but we're not familiar with him."
Ji Mingcheng exchanged a glance with Qiu Jiang, and she immediately turned around and went outside.
Because it is daytime now, according to their usual practice, it is the time for them to close and rest, but because of this incident, those who work the night shift have been detained here and not allowed to leave.
After not sleeping for so long, they were really exhausted. They all had no energy and some were even very anxious. They had no idea what had happened to keep them here.
"Manager, when can we leave?"
"Why are you asking? Just stay still. Do you think I'm not annoying enough?"
Fu Qiwen paced back and forth, feeling very irritable.
I just can't understand how the murder case can be related to them.
Yes, Fu Qiwen is currently the only one in this KTV who knows that a murder has occurred. Compared to other employees who are only thinking about when they can go home and sleep early, he is much more frightened, fearing that this incident will affect the normal operation of their KTV.
However, after seeing the box door open, they immediately rushed forward and said, "Comrade police, is there anything else you need our cooperation? We will tell you everything we know."
That's great.
Qiu Jiang asked directly about Jiamei.
You know what, Fu Qiwen actually knows him.
It’s just a little hard to say.
After all, the crackdown on pornography and illegal publications is very severe at the end of the year. Although they were not found out about anything last time, they were still frightened by the big scene and behaved themselves for a while.
But sometimes it’s not a matter of whether you want to provide a lady or not, but if the customer needs you and you don’t have one, then you are just turning the customer away.
But they didn't want to have anything to do with this matter, so those ladies were not real ladies in name, but salespeople selling alcohol. Of course, they should liven up the atmosphere, but as for what happened after that, it was not something they could interfere with.
Where other people choose to book a room or go out for fun has nothing to do with them.
The reason why he remembered Jiamei was because this girl was a little weird. She looked very good and was not the kind of person who would go wild, but she insisted on applying for the position of salesperson. But everyone has some troubles. No matter if she had no choice or had a special hobby, since she was here, as long as her performance was good, she would be his good employee.
She had only been here for about a month, but she had already become a good lady in his mind.
After all, this person is quite snobbish. Whenever rich people come, she will try every means to get close to them. But when poor people want to order her, she won't even glance at them.
Although this caused dissatisfaction among some customers, he still admired her because she received too much commission from the rich man.
Of course, Fu Qiwen couldn't tell her everything, so he just said, "Jiamei is our salesperson. She's very talkative, and people often come to her for drinks and chats. She's happy to do it because it's a good way to improve her career. Sometimes the tips they give her are more than she earns in a day. She's about 1.65 meters tall, thin, but has a very attractive figure."
"She went out with Mr. Gou last night, but they were already off work at that time, and we don't have the right to control what they do after get off work, so I really don't know where she went after she left. As for her real name, we all use stage names here, so I'm not sure what it is."
Qiu Jiang also realized it, and he deliberately wanted to completely deny the connection between KTV and the murder case, but it seemed that no one said it had anything to do with their store.
She felt helpless and irritated.
"Do you have CCTV? Can I take a look?"
Fu Qiwen was very embarrassed to apologize to her, "The CCTV in our store is under repair these days. It's not fixed yet, so I may not be able to show it to you."
Very good, but it breaks down at the critical moment.
Qiu Jiang was so angry that she laughed, "Really? We now suspect that you are shielding the murderer and letting him escape. Until the case is thoroughly investigated, I think you should close down and wait for the investigation."
She snorted coldly and turned away, and Fu Qiwen was stunned.
I thought she was a thin-skinned girl who was easy to fool, but now they have to close their store. If they can't find out the problem in ten or eight years, will they have to close the store for another ten years?
If that were the case, their boss would have to kill him.
"Wait, wait, wait, comrade police officer, please wait a moment. I remember that Jiamei seemed to have registered with us when she joined the company. I'll go check the records. Please wait a moment."
Qiu Jiang imitated their team 1 team, crossed his arms over his chest, glanced downward, and had a look of coldness and arrogance on his face, giving people the feeling that he was not someone to be trifled with.
Fu Qiwen finally understood the saying that one cannot judge a book by its cover. A young girl who is capable of working as a criminal police officer is not really a young girl at all. She is almost like a she-devil.
No matter how pretty and well-behaved you are, you are just deceiving others.
I actually tricked him just now, making him think that I was someone who could be fooled easily.
Fu Qiwen was filled with regret, glaring at the receptionist and ordering them, "Hurry up and check! I'm looking for it—"
Immediately, a girl in her twenties ran to the front desk to look through the notebook.
Within two minutes, she found the thing she had been trying so hard to find.
Fu Qiwen carefully asked her to come over and take a look.
Qiu Jianghu had a stern face and didn't show any good look to him, which made him feel a little nervous.
As soon as he got the notebook, Qiu Jiang's finger stopped directly on a name.
Feng Yueting.
That's right, it's her.
The Jiamei they were talking about was Feng Yueting, the one who killed Chen Hai last night.
She hurried back and quickly told Ji Mingcheng what she had found. Ji Mingcheng suddenly stood up and said to Qiu Jiang, "Qiu Jiang, take them to make a record and sign it."
"yes."
"Chen Da, immediately notify the entire city to search for Feng Yueting. Everyone else, join me in the pursuit."
"Take action now."
"yes--"
They took orders and set out one by one, and soon only Qiu Jiang and Deng Xingwang were left here watching these big bosses press their fingerprints.
Then they got into the car as quickly as possible and headed straight to the hospital where Feng Yueting was.
Although it's almost impossible to find her anywhere, what if?
They cannot let it go even if there is a slight chance. Moreover, Feng Yueting actually hates Chen Hai and Gou Jianzhang so much. It must not be groundless. There must be a reason. Maybe they can find some clues in the hospital.
Because this place was not far from the hospital where Feng Yueting worked, the two of them arrived at their destination quickly and jumped out of the car to inquire about Feng Yueting.
However, they saw her profile as soon as they walked into the hospital lobby.
After they showed their ID, someone from the hospital quickly contacted them. After investigating all the information they could find, Qiu Jiang and the others quickly left the hospital and informed everyone of Feng Yueting's personal information on the public channel on the intercom.
"Feng Yueting, 29, a local, graduated from medical school two years ago and was assigned to Anlu District Hospital for an internship. She officially started practicing medicine this year. Because of her gentle personality and excellent medical skills, she has a lot of patients seeking her out and has a very high opinion of her."
"But she's been on leave since five days ago and hasn't returned to work yet. Someone even submitted a resignation letter on her behalf today. The hospital is also baffled and is frantically searching for her."
After Qiu Jiang finished speaking, other colleagues immediately followed.
"We've also discovered that Feng Yueting donated 1.03 million yuan to a social welfare organization today. 30,000 yuan of that was probably her year-end bonus from her employer, and it's still sealed with the hospital's seal. The source of the other 1 million yuan hasn't been traced yet."
She killed someone so brutally, then resigned, and now she donated all her money and the money used to kidnap Gou Jianzhang. What is she trying to do?
Qiu Jiang had a very bad feeling.
At this time, Ji Mingcheng's voice also came from the intercom.
"Attention everyone! Feng Yueting is likely to make more drastic moves next. Everyone must find her as quickly as possible."
As soon as he finished speaking, Guo Kai interrupted urgently.
"Captain Ji, Feng Yueting and Gou Jianzhang were found on the rooftop of Zimao Building on Xu'an Street."
Qiu Jiang could hear the sound of the car turning around coming from the walkie-talkie.
"Attention, attention, everyone, head towards Zimao Building on Xu'an Street."
"yes--"
"yes--"
"yes--"
All parties moved at the sound, and the two of them hurriedly jumped into the car. After closing the door, Deng Xingwang urgently turned around and sped towards Zimao Building.
There were sirens wailing everywhere along the way.
Qiu Jiang didn't care whether she was carsick or not. She held the seat belt tightly, and cold sweat broke out on her palms.
Xu'an Street is the commercial center of Anxi City, with tall buildings and a large population. When they arrived at Xu'an Street, it was full of cars and pedestrians, making it impossible to move forward.
Deng Xingwang honked the horn frantically, but still couldn't move. He was so anxious that he almost died.
Qiu Jiang couldn't wait any longer, so she said to him, "Xingwang, I'll go first, you be careful," and then jumped out of the car.
Deng Xingwang didn't even have time to say a word to her before she disappeared in the traffic.
Maybe with her speed, she can really catch up.
Deng Xingwang clasped his hands together and prayed continuously.
Zimao Building is located in the center of Xu'an Street, some distance away from where she got off the bus, but her speed was so fast that she arrived at the downstairs of Zimao Building in just over ten minutes.
At this time, the downstairs of Zimao Building was crowded with people, all of whom were looking up at the rooftop.
Because the Zimao Building is only nine stories high, the figures above are vaguely visible. However, the distance is not too far, so the people below can more or less see the situation above.
"Oh my God, what's going on?"
"What's that? Blood? It's dripping, dripping."
"Oh my God, it's really blood. Can that person still survive?"
"I've seen people jump off buildings, but this is the first time I've seen someone dragged to the rooftop and bled out. How big of a grudge and injustice must this be?"
Especially, the howling sounds of ghosts and wolves could be heard from above from time to time, which made people panic.
Qiu Jiang also looked up and saw a beautiful woman with long black hair stepping on a man as if she was smiling. She was holding something in her hand, which would occasionally scratch the man underneath. Every time she moved, the man underneath would scream in pain and beg for mercy.
"Please forgive me, I know I was wrong, please let me go."
Many people downstairs in the building work nearby, and some even recognized the voice.
"Hey, isn't this the voice of that real estate boss Gou Jianzhang? His figure seems a bit similar too, is it him?"
Qiu Jiang didn't bother to continue listening and rushed into the building. When she went up, there were only a few security guards who were helpless. She was breathing rapidly, but didn't care about anything else. She just stared at Feng Yueting and softened her voice to persuade her.
"Your name is Feng Yueting, right? I've heard of you. You're a very good doctor, and many people come to you for treatment. You're truly amazing."
Seeing Feng Yueting's gaze, Qiu Jiang tensed up and continued to say to her with a smile, "Actually, my nephew is also studying medicine, but he hasn't graduated yet. He said he wants to be a great doctor like you in the future. I didn't know studying medicine was so hard, but every time I see my nephew studying hard by candlelight, even going home only once or twice a month to lay the foundation for his studies, I feel even more that a doctor like you who is recognized by patients must have studied very hard and must deeply love this job. You are really amazing."
Feng Yueting looked a little dazed, as if she was thinking about herself when she was in school.
If it weren't for her passion, how could she have come this far?
But what can she do? A soul corroded by hatred is not worthy of being called a doctor. She finally said the first words to Qiu Jiang.
"I'm not a doctor anymore."
"No, you are." Qiu Jiang said without any hesitation.
"You're not only a doctor, you're a good doctor. You know, I saw so many banners on the wall on the first floor of your hospital, which were given to you by patients. There were so many banners, and so many words of gratitude. They were truly thankful for you saving them or their beloved family members."
Feng Yueting smiled bitterly, then turned cold and stern, "I can save others, but I can't save my loved ones. He deserves to die. Chen Hai is dead. He is the only one left. He is the only one left——"
She stepped hard on the bleeding spot on Gou Jianzhang's back, her eyes filled with hatred, swallowing up all her emotions. She now had only one thought, which was to let this bastard die, die -
Qiu Jiang's heartbeat quickened, and she unconsciously walked more than ten meters towards her. She quickly looked at him with a blank and heartless look, still holding the bloody knife in her hand.
"Don't come over here. If you come over here, I will push him down now—"
"Okay, okay, I won't go over there. Calm down first. Calm down."
Qiu Jiang's forehead was covered in sweat, and he raised his hands to assure her that he would never move forward.
Feng Yueting then lowered the knife slightly, but her eyes did not leave her. She said firmly, "You are a police officer, right?"
When Qiu Jiang was hesitating whether to tell the truth, she just laughed softly.
"You must be a good policeman. It's a pity that I didn't meet you at that time."
Qiu Jiang guessed that this incident was the key to her revenge on Chen Hai and Gou Jianzhang, and immediately said, "I am a police officer, and I promise you that if Gou Jianzhang really did something illegal, no matter what it is, I will definitely help you. You must believe that we can resolve this through legal means."
"I know you may have encountered bad things in the past, and even bad police officers who didn't help you get justice, but please trust me this time, okay? I promise I'm different from those people. And even if I can't solve it, there are others. I know a lot of very good and powerful police officers. If we all work together, we can definitely help you get justice."
"And didn't you just say I'm a good police officer? Then try to trust me for once, okay? Let's work together, okay? Now give me your hand, okay?"
At this moment, Ji Mingcheng and others also ran up. When he saw her comforting Feng Yueting, he waved to the people behind him to stop, while he carefully observed Feng Yueting's expression and movements, and quietly placed his hand on the position of the pistol.
If she still persists, then he has no other choice.
Feng Yueting seemed a little shaken, but she was still unwilling to give up. She angrily stabbed Gou Jianzhang's shoulder twice again. Blood suddenly flowed down, making the facade of the balcony wall bloody.
Gou Jianzhang was in so much pain that he didn't have the strength to scream anymore, and he was breathing out more than he was breathing in.
Ji Mingcheng pulled out his pistol with a whoosh and pointed it at Feng Yueting's eyebrows.
Qiu Jiang's heart was pounding and she couldn't help but scream.
"Team Season..."
Ji Mingcheng gave her a look and said, "She is very emotionally unstable right now. Gou Jianzhang won't be able to hold on for much longer. Qiu Jiang doesn't have much time left."
She knew it too.
Unexpectedly, at this moment Feng Yueting suddenly dropped the knife, raised the hand that had just held the knife as if surrendering, and a relieved smile appeared on her face.
"Let's make a deal."
