Chapter 408 The Secret of the Hu Family
At 15:00 on January 7, Jiayi received a call from Sanfu.
In order to keep it secret, Jiayi had to answer the phone in a relatively private space. But in order to protect Hu Tianyue, Jiayi could not let the other party out of her sight.
So, in the end, the two of them discussed a "wonderful" method: Miss Hu went to the bathroom, opened the wooden door, closed the glass door of the dry and wet separation room, sat on a ponytail to read a book, and waited for Jiayi to finish the call.
Hu Tianyue leaned against the hard bathroom tiles and crossed her legs on the ponytail.
Looking at Madam Yi who was answering the phone in front of the whiteboard in the hall outside the glass door, I couldn't help but think: Am I the most pitiful protected person in the world?
Is this also a contribution to a just cause?
…
"The police have checked all the reports received so far. A large number of people were dispatched, and the efficiency was very high, but all suspects were cleared, and the three mainlanders are still at large." Sanfu couldn't help sighing while reporting to Jiayi on the phone. Jiayi
suddenly entrusted him with an important task and had to lead the team to do these things alone. Even though these actions had been discussed with Jiayi, he still felt unprecedented pressure.
It is great for leaders to have power, but there are other things that need to be taken on extra.
"It is very likely that the three of them started to act separately after they found their portraits in the newspaper. When they don't go out together, it is difficult for citizens to distinguish them. If they wear a hat or a scarf, it will be even more difficult to identify them." Jiayi speculated. After all, it is winter now, and wearing a mask or something like that will not make them look different.
"Yes, let's continue to investigate patiently." Sanfu said, and then continued: "Brother Da Guangming compared the suspect's fingerprints in the fingerprint database, and there was no match. The suspect has no criminal record at least in Hong Kong."
"Have you contacted the mainland police?" Jiayi asked again.
"We have contacted the Guangzhou and Shenzhen police. The portraits of the three people and the fingerprints and footprints extracted by the forensic department have also been faxed. The police on the other side said that they will verify it as quickly as possible. If the three people have indeed committed crimes in the mainland, we will have the hope of identifying them and may even get their photos, which will make it easier to track them down." Sanfu reported.
"Well done, thank you for your hard work, Brother Sanfu." Jiayi stared at the whiteboard and was silent for a while. She discussed some follow-up matters with Brother Sanfu and hung up the phone.
So far, there are limited clues, too many unknowns, and the case is too complicated. The police can only move forward step by step, and she has no choice but to continue waiting.
Hu Tianyue saw Jiayi hang up the phone and then walked out of the bathroom. After tilting her head to look at Jiayi's somewhat annoyed expression, Hu Tianyue smiled and said:
"Let's apply a facial mask together?"
"Again?" Jiayi raised her eyebrows and laughed.
"Anyway, there is nothing else to do, just lie down and enjoy it, it won't affect your thinking." Hu Tianyue pointed to the door again, "My mom also wants to apply a facial mask with us. She has stockpiled all the good stuff imported from abroad, so it's better not to waste it~"
So, the three women lay in Hu Tianyue's big room and applied facial masks together.
In order not to affect Jiayi's thinking, Hu Tianyue and Mrs. Hu were very quiet.
The massage chair was working at full capacity, and the muscles were sore and comfortable. The mask was cool and comfortable.
Jiayi closed her eyes and constructed logical chains and possibilities in the vast universe of her mind. In her joy, she couldn't help thinking that this way of thinking while massaging and applying a mask might be something she could continue to do in the future.
It's not bad to think about it, solving a case while applying a mask and massaging...
...
...
On the evening of the 7th, the wealthy Hu Dehai was sitting in his big office, staring at a corner of a long solid wood table in a daze. The phone rang, and he quickly picked it up, asking the other party's identity expectantly. After hearing the other party introduce himself, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and finally received a call from the mainland.
"...The director of the Capital Museum will come to Shenzhen in person, and a large number of top police officers will be dispatched to take charge of security." The commissioner on the other end of the phone said very seriously.
"Has the time been set?" Hu Dehai took a deep breath, stood up excitedly, and asked while pacing unconsciously in the large office.
"At 2 pm on January 9, how is the security on your side? Can it be handed over on time?" The commissioner's tone still contained some worry.
"Don't worry, I have specially hired a number of bodyguards to patrol and protect it day and night. It will definitely be delivered safely." Hu Dehai's voice was deep, as if he was saying a very important oath.
"Thank you! Mr. Hu Dehai!" The commissioner's tone was solemn, and it can be imagined that he must be holding his head high and standing straight with his chest puffed out as he held the microphone.
…
…
…
At dinner, Yi Jiayi went to the restaurant with the Hu family and finally met Mr. Hu Dehai, who had been busy and had not shown up, at the dinner table.
Unlike most people's impression of wealthy people, Mr. Hu Dehai did not have a fat belly, but was a somewhat thin and amiable uncle.
He treated Jiayi very politely, like entertaining a distinguished guest, always paying attention to her needs and asking her if she was satisfied.
The sumptuous Western-style dinner was enjoyed by everyone.
After dinner, Hu Dehai went to the office to continue his work, while Jiayi took Hu Tianyue back to the room.
Extremely bored, Jiayi went through the logic of the murder case again, talked to Sanfu once, and communicated the latest clues.
She called Brother Yue and talked about their respective situations, expressed her longing for each other, and then hung up after a while.
Standing in the small living room of the suite, Jiayi stared at Hu Tianyue who was sitting in the audio-visual room watching a movie, and sighed like a bird trapped in a golden cage longing for freedom.
Every time the police force catches a criminal, they will try their best to protect the suspect and never let the suspect suffer the kind of injury that requires hospitalization. A big reason is that if the suspect is hospitalized, the detective in charge of the arrest must personally lead the team to guard the hospital - every police officer who has guarded a suspect in a hospital said that the feeling is especially like being in prison, and it is so annoying that people want to hit the wall with their heads.
Jiayi finally understood that feeling. Even though she didn't have to work as hard as the agents in Team B, or endure the pressure and questioning of public opinion like Guo Sir, or bear the heavy pressure from above like Sanfu, the feeling of being trapped in one place with no place to vent her energy and passion was also torturous enough.
Bored to the extreme, Jiayi walked to the long table and chose a position where she could see Hu Tianyue in the audio-visual room. She watched the small surveillance TV and read the newspaper at the same time.
In recent days, there have been many news reports about three mainland Chinese men who killed a woman. Although the police have launched a wanted list for the suspects in a very short time, the anxious citizens still feel that the police are too slow and are still asking the police to speed up the case out of fear.
In addition, the media also caught the increase in bodyguards around the son and daughter of the wealthy Hu Dehai when they were in school. They reported that Hu Dehai received a threatening letter, and the murderer said that he would kidnap his son and daughter and asked him to prepare cash to avoid disaster - it was made up as if he had seen it with his own eyes. The most powerful thing about rumormongers is that they seem more confident when telling lies than those who tell the truth.
Flipping through newspapers one by one, Jiayi slowly came across the news about Hu Tianyue's return to Hong Kong.
Hu Tianyue, the eldest daughter of patriotic businessman Hu Dehai, returned to China after making money overseas. It is said that she wants to open up air routes based on shipping trade and create the best air transportation services in Asia...
Jiayi read it hastily, put it aside, and prepared to read an earlier newspaper, but her fingers just pinched the edge of the next newspaper, and her movements suddenly froze.
A flash of inspiration seemed to flash in her mind. She tilted her head and thought deeply, trying to catch that strange feeling.
With a frown on her face, she pulled back the newspaper that published Hu Tianyue's return and stared at the photo on it for a long time.
In the photo, Hu Tianyue was walking in the middle, carrying her own suitcase, surrounded by eight or nine bodyguards in black clothes. Obviously, these people all returned to China with her from London.
In addition to these men in black, there were five or six bodyguards who were obviously very capable at the airport.
With her eyes narrowed, Jiayi quickly rubbed the corners of the newspaper with her fingers, rolled it up and smoothed it out, rolled it up again and smoothed it out again. Do
all the rich daughters who return to their country have so many bodyguards to protect them?
No way.
Is this a bit exaggerated?
Moreover, Hu Tianyue had a serious expression on his face, and he didn't look excited or happy to go home at all. It seemed that he was carrying out a mission and had not completed it completely, so he was worried.
Holding the newspaper, Jiayi walked to the door of the audio-visual room, turned on the light, and asked Hu Tianyue after she paused the movie:
"When you returned to China, you didn't know someone was going to kidnap you, did you?"
"I didn't know. It was only after my father received a call from the police and was informed by the police that he found out." Seeing Jiayi's serious expression, Hu Tianyue sat up straight from the sofa and looked back nervously.
"Then why did Mr. Hu send so many people to London to pick you up?"
"..." Hu Tianyue was stunned, as if she had never expected Jiayi to ask such a question. She turned away awkwardly and began to think about how to answer.
Jiayi stared at the newspaper in her hand again. In the photo, Hu Tianyue's lady's shoulder bag was carried by a bodyguard.
The bodyguards even had to carry a small shoulder bag for her, so why would they let Hu Tianyue carry a suitcase herself?
Looking up at Hu Tianyue, Jiayi asked the second question again:
"What's in this suitcase?"
Jiayi's thoughts raced, and she remembered that since Hu Tianyue returned home, all the people in the Hu family moved from the east wing to the west wing. The explanation given at the time was to get the protection of bodyguards nearby.
But now it seems that there may be more than that.
Jiayi turned her eyes to the window. Through the large glass, she could see the dark windows of the east wing villa opposite the swimming pool. Under the moonlight, those windows were all drawn with heavy curtains, as if a vampire lived inside, and no light or heat could get in.
In addition, although no one lived in the east wing, there were still bodyguards patrolling, and surveillance cameras were installed on the four corners of the eaves. The explanation given by the Hu family before was to protect Hu Tianyue, but now it seems that this is not the case at all!
Hu Tianyue hasn't even answered the first question, and Jiayi has already asked the third question:
"What is protected in the east villa?"
Hu Tianyue clutched the armrest of the sofa with both hands, frowned, and looked at Yi Jiayi with embarrassment. On the one hand, she was shocked and admired the other's sharpness, and on the other hand, she was a little at a loss and hesitant.
Jiayi caught Hu Tianyue's sight without hesitation, her eyes were sharp and unquestionable.
What is the secret of the Hu family?
She must know the answer!
