Chapter 72 The more careful a fox is, the more traces it leaves. …
When Yue Lingchuan and his party walked to the door of the reception room, they saw a tall middle-aged man in a suit with a beer belly, followed by several bodyguards, smiling and greeting them:
"Oh, Master Yue! It's been a long time since we last met! Remember the last time we met was on Grandpa's 70th birthday? It's been several years since we last met. Master Yue has really become more and more extraordinary!"
As soon as this person came up, he started to flatter him. Wei Zhengyi raised his eyebrows slightly, and saw Yue Lingchuan smiling but not smiling. He shook hands with him politely and said, "This is the police station. Mr. Jiang, please call me Officer Yue."
The other party slapped his forehead and said with regret: "Oh, look at me, I am so confused!"
He laughed and had thick eyebrows and big eyes. He was not as shrewd as the average businessman and seemed to be particularly easy to get along with. However, there was an inexplicable bandit-like air in his words and actions.
He held Yue Lingchuan's hand tightly, sighed, and said: "Oh, it's true. There are a lot of things going on in the company recently. I'm very busy. I have been running around outside for more than half a month. I heard about what happened yesterday and couldn't get back in time. I thought Secretary Song would cooperate with the investigation, but who could have thought that this would happen!"
He shook his head, looking helpless and regretful.
Shen Qingye was standing aside. Hearing this, his expression paused and he said with a smile, "So Mr. Jiang also thinks... Song Yansheng killed someone?"
The other party was stunned when he heard her, but when he saw her, his smile deepened immediately. He quickly stretched out his hand and said exaggeratedly: "Oh, this must be Mr. Shen's daughter! Oh, no, no, I should call you Officer Shen here. Look at my memory!"
"I've heard that Director Shen's daughter is as capable as any man. She worked in the police station after graduation. I didn't expect that she is actually a criminal police officer! You really can't judge a person by appearance!" He boasted a lot, saying how beautiful, intelligent, heroic... Shen Qingye was speechless after hearing that.
She seldom attended those occasions, and only occasionally accompanied her mother to attend banquets hosted by a few good friends. She had no impression of Mr. Jiang at all, and she doubted whether they had really greeted each other on some occasion. It was hard for him to still remember her.
She could only force a smile and said, "Mr. Jiang, you are too kind. You are the one who has a plan in mind. The company has been developing better and better over the years."
Jiang Chengtao waved his hand and said modestly: "Oh, I can't compare with Mr. Shen, I can't compare with him. Mr. Shen is the one who is really courageous!"
Shen Qingye did not engage in these commercial mutual praises, but changed the subject and said, "So Mr. Jiang also believes that Song Yansheng killed the person?"
"Hey, what's the point of believing or not believing? I just believe in our government and the police!" He paused, scratched his head, and said, "But to be honest, I personally don't really believe it."
He sighed and said, "Xiao Song has been working in my company since he graduated. He has been diligent and conscientious over the years and has never made any mistakes at work. I have always trusted him in terms of both his character and his work! But..."
He shook his head, his face heavy, and turned to look at Yue Lingchuan and the people behind him, and said sincerely: "But I also know that our Pingjiang City Criminal Investigation Detachment is well-known, and the cases it handles are completed very well, and I have never heard of any unjust, false or wrong cases. I also believe that you can definitely investigate the truth of the matter and clear Xiao Song's name. But if..."
He wiped his face and said reluctantly: "If Xiao Song really did these things, he should be punished by law."
Yue Lingchuan looked at him for a long while before he smiled softly and said, "Mr. Jiang is so sensible. If everyone were like you, our work would be much easier."
Jiang Chengtao smiled and said, "It is our duty as citizens to cooperate with the police. You are busy solving cases and that's why you are so tired."
He paused and said, "Actually, I have a request as well."
Yue Lingchuan smiled warmly: "You go ahead."
He rubbed his hands, seeming a little embarrassed: "Can I go meet Xiao Song? Of course, I don't want to do anything, I just want to have a brief chat with him."
"After all, he hasn't been with me for that many years. Maybe he can take the initiative to explain something."
Yue Lingchuan looked at him for a while, then nodded slowly: "Of course."
"Citizens have the right to visit their children, and you are so cooperative with us."
"The suspect is currently in the investigation area. Please follow us."
Jiang Chengtao responded and followed quickly. Seeing this, the bodyguard behind him also wanted to follow, but Jiang Chengtao turned around and scolded him, "Go away, just wait here! This is a police station, what can possibly happen to me?"
Yue Lingchuan just watched his performance, and when he turned around and smiled at him again, "Captain Yue, shall we go?"

Song Yansheng had been taken to the case handling area. He looked up after hearing the noise outside the door, and was obviously surprised when he saw Jiang Chengtao:
"boss?"
Jiang Chengtao couldn't help but take two quick steps forward, then slowly stopped, looked at him for a moment, and shook his head helplessly.
Song Yansheng hurriedly said: "Boss, I am an innocent boss, I really don't know what happened!"
Shen Qingye glanced at Song Yansheng and saw that he looked anxious, which did not seem fake.
Yue Lingchuan said: "Someone needs to watch over me during the visit. Please forgive me, Mr. Jiang."
Jiang Chengtao was very reasonable: "Of course it is right. It is also for our personal safety and the personal safety of the suspect."
After he finished speaking, he sat down on the chair opposite Song Yansheng. The other party was handcuffed and looked a little haggard. He couldn't help but say, "Boss..."
Jiang Chengtao looked at him for a long time before he sighed, "Xiao Song."
Song Yansheng remained silent.
Jiang Chengtao was in a complicated mood. He looked at him for a long time before saying, "As for feelings, I definitely believe in your innocence. After all, you have been with me for so many years, and I know your character. But as for reason..."
He paused and glanced at Yue Lingchuan: "Since the police comrades did this, they must have relevant evidence."
Song Yansheng opened his mouth: "Boss..."
Jiang Chengtao raised his hand to stop him: "Xiao Song, for now, just stay here and cooperate with the police. You don't have to worry about the company's affairs. I promise that as long as you are innocent, when you come back, your position will definitely be reserved for you, and your salary during this period will be calculated as well. Just take a break!"
"As for your family, you can rest assured. Before the matter is resolved, I will keep it a secret from your wife and children. Just say that I have transferred you on a business trip and you won't be back for a while, okay?"
Jiang Chengtao looked at him quietly with a smile on his face, and everything he said was completely for him and the police. Song Yansheng looked at him for a long time, moving his lips again and again before he finally responded with a "OK".
Shen Qingye and Yue Lingchuan looked at each other, their expressions somewhat obscure.
Jiang Chengtao stood up and said, "I definitely believe that you are innocent. I also hope that you can cooperate with Officer Yue and his team in the investigation, finish it soon, and come back soon, right?"
Song Yansheng nodded, his smile a little forced: "That's what the boss said."
"Well, the police station has its own rules, and I can't stay here for too long to say anything. Anyway, I just want to say one thing, don't worry about what's happening outside, and don't worry about other people's gossip. When you come out, I will personally welcome you back!"
Song Yansheng reluctantly said, "Thank you, boss."

After the group left the case handling area, Yue Lingchuan glanced at Jiang Chengtao, who still looked a little depressed, and said, "Mr. Jiang is very righteous, no wonder he was able to build such a big company."
Jiang Chengtao forced a smile and said, "What do you mean by being righteous? I am just cooperating with the police. As citizens, we should obey the law, right?"
Shen Qingye curled the corners of his lips. It was what he should do, but the prerequisite was that he really obeyed the law.
Thinking of what he had just said, Shen Qingye's eyes dimmed.
Jiang Chengtao is quite tactical. He always seems to be considering his employees in his words, but in reality, his words are full of threats.
Next, it depends on how Song Yansheng performs.

After going downstairs, Jiang Chengtao was about to say goodbye: "I have to go back to take care of things at the company. To be honest, Xiao Song is really my right-hand man. Now that he is gone, I think all kinds of messes will make me anxious and exhausted."
Yue Lingchuan smiled: "We all noticed that Mr. Jiang took time out of his busy schedule to cooperate with our work. Don't worry, we will definitely find out the truth of the case as soon as possible!"
Jiang Chengtao sighed: "Thank you all for your hard work! With you here, the personal safety of our people is more protected!"
The two of them praised each other for a few more words before Jiang Chengtao said goodbye.
He bent down and sat back in the black car. Among his three bodyguards, one was driving the car while the other sat beside him, one in front and one behind, with serious expressions on their faces.
Shen Qingye stood outside the car and smiled softly when he saw this: "Does Mr. Jiang bring these bodyguards with him wherever he goes?"
Jiang Chengtao smiled bitterly, "I can't help it. In our industry, there are bound to be some villains who get jealous when they see me making money. I was kidnapped before. Those criminals were really arrogant. I almost died. But fortunately, the police came in time and saved me. Since then, I dare not let my guard down. I have to carry a few bodyguards with me at all times to feel safe."
Shen Qingye smiled: "Mr. Jiang, you have to protect your own safety. After all, you have so many people under you who depend on you for their livelihood."
Jiang Chengtao smiled modestly: "No, no, I'm just lucky and everyone gives me some face. Let's make money together, let's make money together."
"It's getting late. I'll be going back now. Good-bye, officers."
Shen Qingye waved his hand, and the smile on his face slowly faded when his car slowly disappeared from sight.
Wei Zhengyi said, "Pooh!" "Old fox!"
Luo Kaiyang followed up with angrily: "Smiling tiger!"
Zhou Qiming sighed: "This Chairman Jiang is really watertight..." He shook his head: "It's not easy to deal with."
Yue Lingchuan put his hands in his pockets, his eyes dark, "The more watertight it is, the more traces there are."
If Jiang Chengtao was not mistaken about what he had just said in the case handling area, Song Yansheng would probably confess.
However, this move would definitely catch Jiang Chengtao completely. "Let's go back first." he said.
Go back and discuss countermeasures further.
