Chapter 278 Everyone is loyal and righteous
Li Shang sighed softly and said to Chang Erbing earnestly:
“Er Bing, I asked you to collect this information not to target Ma Bin.
We do this because we are worried that if he gets into trouble, we can lend a helping hand in time to help him resolve the crisis. Do you understand this?"
Chang Erbing was filled with emotion. "I remember that Captain Li used to be straightforward and never beat around the bush. So, when did Captain Li start to speak with such depth?"
After a brief recollection, Chang Erbing figured out that this change probably started after he came into contact with Ma Bin.
Later, with Secretary Du's appreciation and support, this change became more obvious.
Chang Erbing missed the old Li Shang very much, but he also knew that this change was a good thing. If Captain Li wanted to continue to make progress, he had to learn how to speak and act like those people above him.
People, only by constantly learning and imitating those who are better than them can you slowly become them, and even lead them.
Chang Erbing rubbed his stiff cheeks hard, and he suddenly realized that he couldn't just stay where he was, he had to improve himself.
He took a deep breath and tried to raise the corners of his mouth. Although the smile was a little stiff and unnatural, it also revealed his determination: "Captain Li, I understand. Ma Bin and we are brothers who have shared life and death. I will pay attention to his affairs as if they were my own affairs."
Li Shang turned his head and looked at the smile on Chang Erbing's face in surprise. He patted his shoulder heavily and said with great relief:
"Okay, Erbing, I am completely relieved that you can understand this."
Chang Erbing took out a cigarette from the cigarette box and handed it to Li Shang, then took out a lighter and flicked it on while saying nonchalantly:
"By the way, Captain Li, did you know that the Second Prison is undergoing a shareholding reform? This pilot program was said to have been proposed and vigorously promoted by Councillor Wang Xinfa.
It seems that the person who was busy at the beginning and took care of this matter was Secretary Hou Wendong."
Li Shang lowered his head slightly and slowly moved the cigarette butt in his mouth closer to the flame of the lighter.
The lighter seemed a little old and out of gas. The flame was weak and unstable. It flickered, reflecting on Li Shang's face, making his forehead flicker.
Suddenly, Li Shang's pupils shrank sharply, as if a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind, like the intuition of a detective possessed.
But this spiritual light came and went quickly, like a wisp of smoke from a burning flame, making people want to capture it but not knowing where to start.
Li Shang felt that he almost caught that glimmer of inspiration just now, but when he spread his hands, only a faint smoke flowed out from between his fingers.
The smoke was changing shape and seemed to have turned into a net, in which many faces were caught, but they were all overlapping, making it difficult to see the facial features clearly...Buzz buzz buzz——
The rapid vibration of the cell phone interrupted the detective's flash of inspiration.
Li Shang took out his cell phone in annoyance and showed the screen to Chang Erbing. The latter looked a little stern and quickly held his breath.
The caller ID shows Secretary Du, a kind-hearted man who helped Li Shang spread the name of a detective in the Executive Yuan building. Li Shang is deeply grateful to him.
As soon as the call was connected, a barrage of questions came from the phone.
Li Shang listened quietly. When the spitting sound on the phone died down, he sighed through the receiver, with a hint of helplessness and sincerity in his voice:
"Secretary Du, you really misunderstood me. I never promised to help you kill Secretary Hou. I am a detective. My duty is to solve cases and save people. How could I do something like killing someone?"
"Secretary Du, please think carefully again. What I told you before was - please accept my condolences!"
Du Ziteng gritted his teeth on the other end of the phone. He remembered clearly that this was exactly what Li Shang said when they ended their conversation.
It was because of this that he hung up the phone with peace of mind. So, was there something wrong with his reading comprehension? Li Shang had to repeat it again on the phone: "Secretary Du, I'm sorry that I can't agree to your unreasonable request. Please accept my condolences!"
Du Ziteng: “???”
Please accept my condolences. Can you still use it like this? Just tell me if you are grieving now! Du Ziteng was so angry that he laughed. He said in a fierce voice: "Why? I have helped you so much. I have already sent out the letter of appointment for your promotion to captain. You..."
Li Shang was silent for three seconds, then said sincerely into the microphone: "Secretary Du, I know you have helped me a lot, so please help me one last time. I promise that I, Li Shang, will be grateful for your kindness to me for the rest of my life."
Du Ziteng is dead.
The body was discovered by the maid who came to clean the house the next morning.
It is said that when he died, he was lying quietly on the bed with a crushed cell phone in his hand.
After an autopsy, it was determined that the corpse had died from swallowing iron. The patient was in excruciating pain as if his intestines were being twisted by a knife, and his death was extremely hideous and horrifying.
The body was cremated on the same day, and the obituary released by the Executive Yuan stated that he "unfortunately died of illness due to overwork."
Although he died at home, for humanitarian reasons his death was recognized as an industrial accident, and the Executive Yuan granted him a generous pension as a recognition of his contributions during his lifetime and as a comfort to his family.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Secretary Du was unmarried and childless during his lifetime, and his only remaining relative was his father who lived in a nursing home.
The pension was delivered by Li Shang, who was specially assigned by Councillor Wang to deliver it.
Li Shang felt deeply honored and grateful to Councillor Wang for entrusting him with this important task, so he discussed with Chang Erbing and put together an extra "big red envelope" and put it into the pension bag.
In the nursing home, Li Shang knelt down in front of Du Ziteng's old father without hesitation in front of everyone. His eyes were red and swollen, and his blue uniform was stained with tears.
So, on that day, although Du Ziteng's old father lost his biological son, he gained an adopted son who was loyal and determined to take care of him in his old age and see him to the end of his life.
…When Hou Wendong woke up, it was already the morning of the third day.
The vvip ward was filled with a faint aroma, covering up the smell of disinfectant, the white curtains were open, and the butt lights from the upper city shone in dazzlingly.
Hou Wendong's whole body was wrapped in gauze, and he could feel the pricking pain of the needle if he moved the slightest.
Because he had suffered prolonged torture, although the injuries were not fatal, he was covered with bruises, had a near-death experience, and lost half his life.
In addition, he mainly relies on his brain to make a living, his martial arts skills are mediocre, and his body cannot withstand certain drugs that are a combination of "high technology and hard work", so he can only take some relatively mild drugs.
At this moment, the medicine under his gauze was stimulating his skin and flesh to grow and heal slowly.
Although the healing speed is far slower than that of the strong drugs of "high technology and hard work", the medical expenses are not much less, or even more expensive.
The total medical expenses for one day would be about 1 million.
It was almost twice the price Wang Cong paid for his parents.
