Chapter 32 Zhong Family
Li Wenbing didn’t know Wen Yue, but he could tell from her clothes that she wasn’t a policewoman. After sitting down, he laughed strangely and said in a somewhat obscene way, “Hey! Are you trying to use a honey trap on me?”
But Wen Yue ignored him and just stared at him without saying anything.
During this long silence, Li Wenbing's emotions changed in three levels. First, he spoke obscene words nonchalantly and even casually, then he frowned and his eyes gradually became alert, and finally his eyes revealed anxiety. His emotions gradually became irritable, and he slapped the table and cursed: "You damn bitch, just say what you want to say, why are you staring at me? You..."
Li Wenbing was about to say something more unpleasant, but before he could say anything, he saw Wen Yue smiled faintly, stood up and said: "You're finished."
Although Wen Yue said this lightly without using a single dirty word, it instantly angered Li Wenbing, and he rushed over and wanted to beat her up. But as soon as she made a move, she was restrained by the police officer next to her, who shouted, "What are you doing? Be quiet!"
Wen Yue ignored Li Wenbing's struggle and stood up and left the interrogation room.
Yi Huai and Li Chengbang were standing outside the glass window of the interrogation room. When they saw her coming out, Yi Huai strode over and asked, "Are you okay?"
"Nothing." Wen Yue shook her head.
Li Chengbang walked over and asked, "Miss Wen, can I ask what you said to him? He seemed very excited just now."
Without using the monitoring equipment, he could not hear the conversation inside, but could only see Li Wenbing slamming the table and cursing, which he had never seen in previous interrogations.
Li Wenbing has spent half his life in prison, dealing with police and jailers a lot, so unlike those young rascals who just got out, he is very stable, even fearless.
In the past day, when he was most emotional, he just clenched his fists and said calmly: "You are the police, whatever you say is what it is!"
It made people's teeth itch with anger.
But Wen Yue's answer was beyond his expectation, she said: "I didn't say anything."
"Nothing?" Li Chengbang looked stunned, not quite believing it.
"You can go ask the police officer inside." Wen Yue thought for a moment and said, "This is what I think. This man has done something wrong and is always afraid of ghosts knocking on his door. He can't help feeling guilty. Li Wenbing seems to be afraid of nothing, but in fact, it's because he has dealt with you police officers a lot. He can guess the result from your attitude. The angrier you appear, the more he feels that the evidence in your hands is insufficient and there is nothing to be afraid of. So I think you can pretend to be mysterious during the interrogation, and maybe you can pry his mouth open."
In fact, it doesn't matter whether she says this or not. After meeting Li Wenbing, the evidence of his murder was entered into the system's database. When she uses the melon-eating points to exchange for the evidence and mail it to the police station, it will be in vain for Li Wenbing to be tough.
But she came to see Li Wenbing on purpose, and said nothing when she saw him. Her behavior was too strange, so she had to find a reason, and this was the right explanation.
Sure enough, although Li Chengbang was skeptical about the effect of Wen Yue's idea, he understood it a little more. He felt that she had specifically proposed to see Li Wenbing, probably to scare him.
As for why she wanted to scare him...it can only be said that rich people's ideas are incomprehensible to ordinary people.
After getting in the car, Wen Yue directly asked the system to exchange evidence, and then asked the system to write a letter, listing the identities and dates of birth of the four victims killed by Li Wenbing, and predicting the conditions for the seventh person.
Wen Yue and the system speculated that the person behind Li Wenbing wanted to kill a seventh person.
Although Wen Yue is not bound to a metaphysical fortune-telling system, the Chigua system can connect to the main system's huge database. Just like she could use the search engine to search for things she didn't understand before she crossed over, the system can also use the main system database to find things it doesn't understand.
For example, the life-changing/life-extending magic, although it doesn't know which one is useful and which one is not after finding out, and which magic the recent serial murders are in line with.
But it can count which numbers are often related to these magics, and these common numbers include seven, nine, twelve, eighteen, thirty-six, forty-nine, etc.
Twelve is easy to understand, the zodiac changes and everything rotates, nine is nine nine return to one, and eighteen has the legend of eighteen layers of hell, which is very common in ghost movies.
Not to mention the number seven. The saying that the gates of hell open on the 15th day of the seventh month and that people can return to the spirit after death in seven days is highly consistent with this sinister magic.
In short, no matter what kind of evil magic this is and what the related numbers are, it can be basically determined that the person behind the scenes will kill no less than seven people. According to the birth date and month patterns of the previous few deaths, it is easy to find the conditions for the seventh person.
Of course, Wen Yue hoped that she was wrong, and the butcher knife of the person behind the scenes would stop here and no one would die.
But this is just an expectation, and after the sixth death appeared, Wen Yue no longer dared to pin her hopes on others, or the executioner.
So after considering it, she decided to tell the police the news, hoping that they could leak it out and let those who meet the conditions act carefully.
After the system sent the letter as required, Wen Yue turned her head to look at Yi Huai who was sitting next to her and asked, "Do you know the Zhong family?"
"Yes, what's the matter?"
Wen Yue asked, "I heard that the Zhong family is keen on charity and has a good reputation?"
"It has been like this in recent years." Yi Huai asked in confusion, "Why do you suddenly ask about their family?"
"I suddenly remembered it, so I just asked casually."
Wen Yue certainly didn't just suddenly remember it and ask casually. In fact, after leaving the police station, this question has been lingering in her mind all the way - the system said that it was the Zhong family who ordered Li Wenbing to kill people.
This is not quite right, because the person Li Wenbing contacted was not named Zhong, but an assistant of the eldest son of the Zhong family.
But is it possible for an assistant to pay millions to buy a murder in order to save or prolong his life?
Besides, these millions are just the money for killing people. There are nearly 6 million people in Hong Kong, and women account for at least half of them. Trying to find a woman who meets the conditions is like looking for a needle in a haystack. The cost cannot be small.
In addition, no matter what kind of character a master of metaphysics who knows this kind of evil magic is, his ability must be good. Metaphysics also talks about cause and effect backlash. It is estimated that tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars will not be enough to ask such a person to take action.
How can an assistant have so much money to do these things?
So Wen Yue thinks that the assistant should be just a tool. The one who really wants to change his life/extend his life is probably the Zhong family. It just so happens that the system says that the old man of the Zhong family is 92 years old this year...
What a coincidence!
The old man Zhong is exactly 12 years older than the first dead person.
Just looking at this coincidence, Wen Yue feels that it is unreasonable not to doubt the Zhong family.
The person behind the scenes has surfaced, but there is still a problem. The person Li Wenbing contacted was the assistant of Master Zhong. Even if she took the recording to report the case, she could only kill Master Zhong's assistant.
The Zhong family can bribe Li Wenbing to kill people with money, so can't they bribe the assistant to keep silent and take the blame?
You know, Hong Kong has abolished the death penalty.
Even if it is verified that the assistant hired a killer to kill people, the punishment he received is only life imprisonment. Hong Kong is a capitalist society. As long as you have money, serious criminals can live well in prison.
If he behaves well in prison and someone pays him to smooth things over, he may be able to get a reduced sentence and be released after serving a dozen or twenty years in prison.
Under such a system, it is too easy to use money to hit people.
After careful consideration, in order to avoid alerting the enemy, Wen Yue did not redeem the recording of the conversation between Li Wenbing and the assistant of Master Zhong. She plans to meet the Zhong family first, preferably to meet Master Zhong or Master Zhong directly, and get evidence through the system that they ordered the murder, and try to kill them all at once.
Of course, it would be even better if evidence of their business violations could be obtained.
This family is philanthropic on the surface, but in fact they regard human life as worthless. It is okay for such people to be poor and destitute, but they hold a lot of wealth in their hands, which is really unsettling.
However, whether the above ideas will succeed depends on whether Wen Yue can meet the Zhong family.
Compared with many families in Hong Kong, the Zhong family is indeed too low-key. When the Lin family held a banquet before, it is no exaggeration to say that more than two-thirds of the families in Hong Kong's wealthy circle sent people to attend.
But the Zhong family is the remaining one-third.
However, the Zhong family is not to the extent of staying at home and not participating in any banquets. It's just that Wen Yue has no connections in the wealthy circle and can't receive news, so she thought of asking Yi Huai for help.
Yi Huai did have an invitation in his hand. It was a banquet held by the Hong Kong Chamber of Commerce. The Zhong family would definitely send people to participate, but he was a little hesitant and said, "The Zhong family is not easy to mess with."
Wen Yue wanted to say righteously that she has always been "I won't offend others if they don't offend me", but she felt a little guilty when the words came to her lips. This time, no matter whether the Zhong family would provoke her or not, she would confront them.
After a long while, Wen Yue sighed and said, "Forget it, I think of other ways."
Yi Huai knew Wen Yue had misunderstood as soon as he heard it, and explained, "I'm not worried that you will offend the Zhong family and affect my relationship with them, but the Zhong family started out as a gang. Although they have been cleaned up in recent years and are very keen on charity, it is difficult to change one's nature. I'm worried that you will be retaliated after offending them."
"Started out as a gang?" Wen Yue was surprised. The system didn't mention this.
But thinking of several recent cases, Wen Yue understood a little. No wonder the Zhong family could do such a thing as hiring murder. It turns out that they were originally gangsters.
But even so, she still had to meet him. At most, she would restrain herself from conflicting with him, and she would not stand up for herself when he was exposed later, and hide herself as much as possible.
Wen Yue thought about it, looked up at Yi Huai, put on a slightly flattering smile and said, "If I promise not to conflict with the Zhong family, will you be willing to take me to that banquet?"
"Are you sure you won't conflict with them?" Yi Huai asked sharply.
"Of course I am sure!" Wen Yue patted her chest and said, "If you don't believe it, I will follow you all the way, okay?"
Agreeing to let Wen Yue move back to the Yi family was not because Yi Huai still had expectations for this marriage, but because he didn't want to destroy the cooperation between the two families. But that's all. He didn't think about fulfilling Wen Rongsheng's wish and really repairing the relationship with Wen Yue. He just wanted to keep his distance until the cooperation ended, or Wen Yue changed her mind and moved out again.
But the relationship between people cannot be cleared up with a sentence of "I haven't thought about it".
He and Wen Yue said they had been married for three years, but in reality they had only met a few times, and each time they met they only spent a few minutes, and they barely said a few words, so naturally they had no feelings for each other, and they even had prejudices against each other. After
living together this time, Wen Yue had changed a lot, with a smile on her face all the time, and she was less aggressive when talking to him, and her voice was soft and intimate when she asked him to
do something, without any bossing. As the saying goes, you should not hit a smiling person, and facing such a girl, it was difficult for him to keep a cold face and avoid her, so he went home for dinner more often, helped her with things more sincerely, and his anger became more natural when chatting.
It was not until the conversation with Yi Dong a few days ago that he suddenly realized that they seemed to have already broken the boundary of not interfering with each other.
Thinking that the distinction was clear, he didn't want anything to happen to Wen Yue. After discovering the secret thoughts in her heart, he naturally wanted to ensure her safety.
At the same time, Yi Huai also knew that Wen Yue was not someone who would obey him if he disagreed. Just like what he said just now, if he didn't take her to the banquet, she would find a way to meet the Zhong family by herself.
Instead of letting her run to the Zhong family alone, it would be better for him to take her with him. With the name of attending the banquet, it would at least not seem so abrupt.
If a conflict really occurred, he would be prepared by watching from the side.
Yi Huai no longer hesitated and said, "Okay."
...
Wen Yue and Yi Huai had just arrived home, and the letter sent by the system was also delivered to Li Chengbang.
Unlike the first time he received the letter, when he heard that there was a letter for him, Li Chengbang immediately went to the communication room and opened it before returning to the office.
Although Li Chengbang guessed before reading the letter that this might be evidence sent by an anonymous person, he still opened his mouth in shock when he saw the photos in the envelope.
Until the only female police officer A in Team A, Ada, inadvertently looked up and saw him standing at the door, she asked in surprise: "Brother Bang, what are you doing? Who sent the letter again?"
"Letter?" Uncle Zhuang raised his head when he heard the voice, "Is it evidence again?"
Upon hearing that there was evidence, the police officers in the team who were not on duty swarmed over immediately: "What evidence? Why does it seem that Brother Bang is stunned?"
As he spoke, he leaned over to take a look and was also stunned, "This, this... Could this be a photo of Li Wenbing committing the crime?"
"I knew it was as soon as I saw the photo!" Another police officer reached out and took the two photos, his expression became strange as he looked at them, "It doesn't seem to be the same day? The surrounding scenery is different, and Li Wenbing and the victim are wearing different clothes."
Upon hearing this, Uncle Zhuang and others immediately leaned over to look at the photos.
After comparing the photos, several people opened their mouths in astonishment. They looked at each other and were a little speechless until Ada spoke up and broke the silence, asking, "Do you think these photos were taken by Li Wenbing himself or by an eyewitness?"
A police officer then said, "If Li Wenbing took the photos himself, what kind of hobby does he have? And how did the photos he took fall into the hands of an anonymous witness?"
Another police officer said, "If it was an anonymous witness, how could he take so many photos at close range without being discovered? And why didn't he call the police when he took the first photo? This would have obviously avoided more unnecessary casualties."
"This is not something we should consider," said Li Chengbang after reading the letter. "What we need to do now is to find the bodies of the victims that have not been found according to the tips of the anonymous witnesses, find out the truth, and prevent more people from being harmed!"
At this point, Li Chengbang took the photos from several people and said, "I will go to Madam now to apply for an accelerated merger of the cases."
With the new evidence, the police's efficiency has improved a lot. The merger of the cases was completed before noon, and a special investigation team was established.
Around 3 pm, the two female bodies that had not been found were dug up.
At 5 pm, Li Wenbing finally succumbed to the overwhelming evidence and admitted to the murder.
But the case is not over yet. The murderer of the Fo Guang Street murder case is still unknown, and whether there will be a seventh victim is still a mystery.
Li Chengbang and Superintendent Xu have different opinions on whether to inform the public through the media that there may be a seventh victim.
Superintendent Xu feels that the citizens of Hong Kong have been shrouded in the shadow of the murder case for more than a month. Although five of the six cases have been solved, there is still a murderer at large. Even if the investigation of the case is disclosed, the citizens will definitely not be satisfied.
In this case, telling the public that the second murderer may commit crimes again is tantamount to pouring fuel on the fire. It will not only affect the reputation of the police force, but also cause panic among the people.
It would be better to just report the details of the first five cases, and the task force would split into two groups. On the one hand, they would focus on investigating the sixth case, and on the other hand, they would contact the household registration police to find a citizen who meets the seventh person's conditions and protect him.
This would not only give the citizens of Hong Kong a reassurance and maintain social stability, but also avoid alerting the enemy and perhaps create an opportunity to lure the enemy into a trap and catch the second murderer.
With the protection of the police, there would be no need to worry about the safety of the citizens who meet the conditions, which was a three-pronged approach.
However, Li Chengbang felt that there were millions of people in Hong Kong, and it would take a lot of time just to check for people who met the conditions. Even if they were really found, it would be a question whether so many police officers could be arranged to protect the potential victims.
Although making the news public would risk alerting the enemy, it would also prevent the people behind the scenes from making big moves.
People who meet the conditions will also be alert when they see the news, and they may reduce going out, or ask relatives and friends to protect themselves. They can even use the media to let these people contact the police to arrange for protection. This can not only save time, but also make it more difficult for the behind-the-scenes masterminds to act.
The two people have their own opinions, and neither can convince the other.
Because Superintendent Xu has a higher level, it was Li Chengbang who finally compromised. He could only lead the members of the task force to devote themselves to the investigation of the case, hoping to bring the murderer to justice before new victims appear.
...
The next morning, Wen Yue just got up and learned about this from the system, and her face instantly became ugly.
When she asked the system to write the letter, she had the same idea as Li Chengbang, hoping that the police would issue a warning to the general public, which would make it more difficult for the Zhong family to act and better hide themselves.
As a result, she spent her melon points to let the system write a letter for her, but was told that Inspector Xu was unwilling to issue an early warning for the sake of stability. If she hadn't earned a lot of melon points in the past two days, she would have been so angry that she would have vomited blood.
But the result was so different from what she imagined that it was depressing enough. Wen Yue asked: "Is there no room for turning things around?"
[Based on Inspector Xu's personality, there shouldn't be. ] The system replied.
Okay.
Wen Yue took a deep breath and continued to ask: [Then write another letter for me and send it to...] Fearing that similar situations would occur again, she specifically asked, [If it is sent to Entertainment Daily, will their editor-in-chief block this news? ]
[According to calculations, there is a 98% chance that they will not. ]
[What about the remaining 2%? ]
[An accident occurred.
Wen Yue didn't want to hear the word "accident" now, so she asked: [Where should I send the letter? The news will definitely not be stuck?] After
nearly half a minute, the system replied: [Dear, after calculation, you will send the letter to "Dongjiang Entertainment News", and it will definitely not be stuck~]
Hearing this answer, Wen Yue couldn't help rolling her eyes and said sarcastically: "I don't need to calculate this result, I can get it in one second."
Her own newspaper will certainly not be stuck with the news she wants to publish!
But this also illustrates a truth from the side - rely on the mountain, the mountain will fall, and everyone will run away. It's better to rely on yourself than on others.
So after breakfast, Wen Yue and Yi Huai went to the company together, but one took the elevator to the 18th floor of Yisheng headquarters, and the other took the elevator to the 16th floor of Dongjiang Newspaper.
Maybe she had been thinking too much about crooked ways these days. When she entered the elevator and saw Yi Huai press the 18th floor button, Wen Yue's first reaction was - isn't it unlucky for him to set up the headquarters on the 18th floor?
But the next second Wen Yue couldn't help but pat her forehead, thinking that she might really be crazy.
The news industry needs to run field work, so when Wen Yue arrived, there were not many people in the newspaper office, especially recently there have been several murders in Hong Kong. Yesterday, it was said that there was new progress and two female corpses were dug up. It is no exaggeration to say that now all reporters in Hong Kong are following this hot news.
Huang Zhihao is also very busy. First, there is a lot of preparation work for the new newspaper. Second, the "Dongjiang Entertainment News" is getting more and more popular, and more and more businesses have contacted him to advertise in the newspaper.
Wen Yue did not disturb Huang Zhihao, but told his assistant to come to her office after he was done.
Huang Zhihao did not let Wen Yue wait any longer, and came over in less than ten minutes, asking her what she wanted. Wen Yue did not hide anything, and directly took out the same letter she sent to Li Chengbang yesterday and handed it over, saying, "These things will be published in the newspaper tomorrow morning, especially the preview of the seventh person."
Although the case was reported after Li Wenbing confessed yesterday, the report was not that detailed, for example, these photos were not given to the media.
With the recent popularity of serial murders, it is not difficult to imagine how much attention it would attract after publishing these photos in their own newspaper!
Wen Yue was not as excited as Huang Zhihao. After thinking for a moment, she said, "After the news is published in the newspaper, remember to leave a section for special thanks."
This had never happened before. Huang Zhihao asked in confusion, "What should I write in the special thanks?"
"Just write..." Wen Yue thought for a while and said, "Thank you Mr. Tong for providing the case-related evidence and notice."
Huang Zhihao took a look at the envelope and saw that the sender was indeed Mr. Tong. He understood what Wen Yue meant, but was a little hesitant: "Although this matter is in the spotlight, it is also easy to offend people, right? Writing Mr. Tong's name... isn't it a bit bad?"
With Wen Yue's reminder last time, he is now very careful about safety issues.
"It doesn't matter."
Wen Yue asked the system to make a special note of thanks, just to let "Mr. Tong" attract firepower and make it easier for her to hide.
She was not afraid that the Zhong family would check "Mr. Tong". Tong is homophonic to Tong, which is itself a reference to the system. No matter how capable the Zhong family is, they can't find it.
In order to hide smoothly, Wen Yue asked the system to send a copy of the same evidence to five newspapers including "East Weekly" and "Entertainment Daily", and the sender wrote Mr. Tong.
Although it costs a lot of money to do this, as long as one of these newspapers publishes the relevant news, the Zhong family will pay less attention to Dongjiang Newspaper.
If all five publish the news, compared with their circulation volume, Dongjiang Newspaper may be ignored, which is more convenient for hiding.
If none of the five newspapers published the relevant news, then... it would be her bad luck, and she would have wasted her money!
Fortunately, the situation was not that bad. That night, the "Hong Kong Evening News" used a whole page to report the recent serial murder case and released a preview of the seventh person.
The next morning, newspapers such as the "Hong Kong Morning Post" and "Entertainment Daily" quickly followed suit.
...
"These newspapers don't report the news that should be reported, and they report the news that shouldn't be reported!"
As the boss of the Zhong Group, Zhong Jun has always had the habit of reading newspapers during breakfast. However, he usually reads the newspapers. Because the murder case has been a hot topic these days, he asked the butler to buy him a copy of all the newspapers on the market that report the relevant news.
So when he was eating that morning, he was holding the Dongjiang Entertainment News.
The content of the report in the Dongjiang Entertainment News was similar to that of several other newspapers, except that the former newspapers focused on the case itself and also published a preview of the seventh death. The Dongjiang Entertainment News focused on the speculation that the rich hired a murderer, and also gave a large space to the preview.
The focus of the Dongjiang Entertainment News report was exactly what Zhong Jun didn't want to happen, so after reading the newspaper, he was furious and wanted to call the newspaper bosses directly to tell them to stop talking nonsense.
Seeing that he was angry, his wife Zou Jingxiu reached out and picked up the newspaper. After quickly browsing it, she asked doubtfully: "Will this report affect what you are doing now?"
Hiring a killer to kill someone is not a trivial matter. Naturally, the fewer people who know about it, the better.
So except for the assistant who went to handle this matter, Zhong Jun did not tell Zou Jingxiu. But they are husband and wife after all, and it is difficult to hide it when sleeping in the same bed. Although he did not say it, Zou Jingxiu still guessed about the matter.
However, Zou Jingxiu has always been smart. She knew that her husband did not want to say more, and even if he guessed it, he would never say it clearly, just like when talking about it now, he also used "what I am doing now" to blur the past.
Zhong Jun has always been very satisfied with his wife's understanding. Thinking of the news in the past few days, he no longer hid it and said, "There will definitely be an impact. I was worried that too many people missing would attract attention, so I didn't let them catch the people in advance. Now... I guess we're going to be in trouble."
Zou Jingxiu frowned, but her voice was still gentle: "What are you going to do?"
"What can I do? Spend more money, but..." Zhong Jun paused. Even though the Zhong family was used to dining in their respective villas, there were only the two of them in the restaurant at this time, and he still deliberately lowered his voice, "After this incident, I'm afraid Lao Lin can't be saved."
Lao Lin is the most handy assistant around Zhong Jun. He asked someone to do the things this time.
Zou Jingxiu breathed a sigh of relief and said softly, "There's nothing we can do about this. At most, we can take care of his family after he goes in, so that he can feel at ease." Zou Jingxiu
has a kind face and speaks softly. She has always been a kind-hearted noblewoman. But when it comes to letting someone take the blame, her calmness becomes chilling coldness.
But it is obvious that Zhong Jun is the same kind of person as her. He doesn't think there is anything wrong with what she said. He nodded and said, "You're right."
Zou Jingxiu responded and picked up the "Dongjiang Entertainment News" again. His eyes fell on the special thanks column and asked, "Ajun, this Mr. Tong, should we find someone to check it out?"
"What Mr. Tong?" Zhong Jun didn't finish reading the report and didn't know the content behind it.
Zou Jingxiu showed him a newspaper: "It says here that the evidence was provided by Mr. Tong. Looking at the photos published in these newspapers, it is very likely that this Tong sent out several pieces of evidence. Maybe even the police evidence was provided by him..."
Since Li Wenbing was arrested, Zhong Jun has also paid special attention to the police's movements. Hearing this, his expression gradually became serious: "Hearing what you said, it's time to check this Tong man."
After the two of them discussed it, Zhong Jun went to the main house.
Mr. Zhong is old and now spends half of the day in a coma. When he went over, he was still asleep, so he didn't stay long and left quickly.
When he arrived at the company, he first called Assistant Lin to the office and asked him if he had seen the news.
"I see," Assistant Lin said with a worried look on his face. "Mr. Zhong, are we still going to do that?"
"Of course we have to. You know that although I am the eldest, I am not outstanding among my brothers and sisters, and the old man doesn't love me. If I hadn't been willing to help him do these things, how could I have the opportunity to sit in this office? If we suddenly give up at this point, it will not only mean that everything we have done before will be in vain, but the old man may also be dissatisfied with me. You have been by my side for decades, and you definitely don't want to see me with nothing, right?"
Zhong Jun first complained and played the emotional card, and then tempted him with benefits: "It's just a few days away. After everything is over, I will give you a sum of money and arrange for you and your family to go abroad. There will be no risk. Do you understand?"
Assistant Lin has been the president's assistant for more than ten years, so naturally he would not completely believe such words, but he also knew that he had no way out.
If he continues, he will still have the opportunity to go abroad with his family, but if he gives up now, there are only two options waiting for him. One is to be pushed out to take the blame and spend the rest of his life in prison, and the other is not even having the chance to go to prison and being directly silenced.
Assistant Lin forced a smile and said, "Mr. Zhong, I understand what you said."
Zhong Jun was very satisfied with his attitude and said with a smile, "Since you understand, then do your job well, determine the candidate as soon as possible, and clean up the mess after the end, and don't leave any handles."
"Yes, then I'll go out to do my job."
"Well." Zhong Jun just responded, but when Assistant Lin turned around, he remembered something and took out a newspaper and said, "Wait, go check who this Mr. Tong is, and shut him up after you find out."
"Okay."
Zhong Jun thought that it would be easy to find out about other things, but it should be easy to find out who sent the anonymous letter.
As a result, two days passed and Assistant Lin found nothing. The envelope used by the man was the most common one on the market, and the words seemed to be printed on it. According to the mailing address, he could only find an empty house. The mailing route of the letter was so strange that it was impossible to check.
Generally, when you want to send a letter, you either go to the post office to send it in person, or you put it in a mailbox and wait for the postman to collect it and distribute it. Regardless of the method, the letter will be recorded at the originating post office. However,
this batch of letters has no record of the originating post office, and has not been distributed in the middle. It seems that they have sneaked into the post offices of various newspaper companies and received the letters on the same day. All that can be found is the delivery record.
Zhong Jun was of course very dissatisfied with this result, especially since the arrest of the seventh person was not smooth, which made him suspect that Assistant Lin was passively slacking off.
But these matters have always been handled by Assistant Lin, and replacing him temporarily would be more risky, so Zhong Jun had to use the Lin family to warn him, and finally said, "There are still three days left, I hope you won't let me down."
After that, he looked at his wife who came out of the fitting room, applauded and said, "Looks good."
Zou Jingxiu stood in front of the mirror, changing her posture and direction for a long time, then turned her head and asked, "Then should I wear this?"
Zhong Jun smiled and said, "Sure, you will definitely outshine the others in this outfit tonight."
Zou Jingxiu felt comfortable hearing this, but said angrily, "The women brought by your old friends are younger and more beautiful than each other. How can I outshine them?"
"But in my heart, you will always be the most beautiful."
"Slippery tongue."
After changing their clothes, the two left the styling studio and drove to the club where the banquet would be held tonight.
…
Wen Yue was also on her way to the club with Yi Huai. She
was a little nervous when she thought about the person she was going to meet next. Although she had exposed the secrets of many people after being tied to the melon-eating system, including business tycoons (Wen Rongsheng) and ruthless people (Lin Yongkang), the former was not to the point of killing people without blinking an eye, and the latter was ruthless enough but had limited people at his disposal. So Wen Yue was still safe after exposing their secrets.
But the Zhong family was different. They were rich and powerful, and they were rotten to the core. If they found out that she was the one who exposed the secrets, they would definitely not let it go.
So when she thought about facing the Zhong family, Wen Yue couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
She knew that the Zhong family was investigating "Mr. Tong", and she also knew that they had not found out anything so far. The more this happened, the more Wen Yue was worried that she would not be able to control her facial expression after meeting the Zhong family and knowing that they were the murderers behind the scenes.
