Chapter 096 The Ninety-Sixth Melon
"Don't come over here, no one is allowed to come over here!"
The wind was blowing hard, and the girl standing on the rooftop was trembling. She was wearing very thin clothes, and her oversized coat was fluttering in the wind. Her face was pale, and her lips were almost cracked.
The police and others below the rooftop couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
The stormtroopers also received the news and rushed over to provide support, including Lin Jianyi.
Lin Jianyi is now the team leader, and above him is the captain Ou Lingfeng. Ou Lingfeng frowned and asked the people at the police station: "When will that Gu Xicao come? I think we can't wait any longer. Why don't we try to climb up from downstairs and subdue this girl? It's obvious that the girl can't hold on for long. If she really falls, there may be cushions below to catch her!"
Inspector Liu is at the police station.
Inspector Liu knew this, but she frowned and shook her head, saying, "My friend went down to check. The building's exterior is too smooth, and there is nowhere to climb. We tried, but it was too dangerous. We can't risk our friend's life!"
Generally speaking, when faced with someone who is about to jump off a building to commit suicide, one would either try to persuade them or look for an opportunity to pull them down.
But the building of Xuanyuan Group is too tall, and the exterior is made of glass, so there is nowhere to put force.
Moreover, the wind is very strong today.
Just standing there, they were blown so hard that their faces and lips turned pale.
"Here they come, people are coming!"
Suddenly, someone downstairs exclaimed, and everyone on the rooftop turned around and looked, only to see Gu Xicao, holding his coat, and hurriedly walking up the stairs with Gu Zhizhang and others to the rooftop.
"Ms. Gu!"
When Inspector Liu saw Gu Xicao appear, he felt relieved for some reason.
She immediately walked towards Gu Xicao.
Gu Xicao remembered her. She had sent a banner to her when her fortune telling shop opened last time. "Inspector Liu, the person on the other end of the phone was not very clear. What's going on? Who wants to commit suicide?"
"Yes."
Wang Xueli, who had come to watch the fun, said jokingly, "Gu Xicao, don't tell me you fired people indiscriminately and pushed them to a dead end, right?"
Gu Zhizhang frowned slightly, "Shirley, stop talking nonsense!"
Yan Qin pulled her daughter to her side and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Human life is at stake. It's not something you can joke about."
After saying that, she looked at the person standing on the railing, was stunned for a moment, and her face changed slightly, "Isn't this Wang Xin? Why is she here?"
"You know her?!"
Inspector Liu reacted quickly and asked Yan Qin, "This girl was found on the rooftop of your company an hour ago. The police came after receiving the alarm, but the girl refused to come down and insisted on seeing Gu Xicao!"
It just so happened that Inspector Liu knew Gu Xicao and had some connections, otherwise it would have been difficult to contact him.
"I know him, but not very well."
Yan Qin's eyes dodged and she said, "He's a distant relative of ours. We only see him during the Chinese New Year and other holidays. Shouldn't he still be studying? Why is he here causing trouble?"
"Miss Gu, is it really you?"
Wang Xin was standing on the railing. She saw Gu Xicao, but she was a little hesitant to recognize her, after all, she had never seen Gu Xicao before.
Gu Xicao was glad that she didn't bring Lin Yuan with her. At this moment, she was terrified when she saw a little girl standing there. "Yes, it's me. You wanted to see me. Is there anything you want me to help you with?"
Wang Xin was holding onto the railing, when a strong wind blew past, causing her body to sway.
Many people below couldn't help but gasp.
"Ms. Gu," Wang Xin's legs were trembling, but she still stood there, "I heard that you are a fortune teller and very capable. Is that true? It's not that I don't believe you, but I'm afraid they will find someone to impersonate you!"
Wang Xueli sneered and rolled her eyes.
Gu Xicao ignored her and walked forward slowly. "I can prove myself. How do you want me to prove it? Come down and we can talk it out, okay?"
Wang Xin put her hair behind her ears. Her face was pale from the cold, and her teeth were chattering. She looked straight at Gu Xicao: "Prove yourself first. Then, calculate why I want to commit suicide?!"
A vein on Ou Lingfeng's forehead jumped.
He gritted his teeth and whispered, "Isn't this nonsense? Find a fortune teller, what is this? If the fortune teller is wrong, she will jump down! Inspector Liu is the same! What a joke at this time!"
"Sir Ou, don't be anxious. No matter what, it's the right thing to do to stabilize that little girl first."
Lin Jianyi whispered, "Besides, I also know Gu Xicao. If we leave this matter to her, maybe there will be a turnaround!"
Ou Lingfeng looked at Lin Jianyi suspiciously, but there was nothing else he could do at the moment.
Even if we are going to perform a big show today, these people have to help the show go on, only then will it work.
"I don't need to calculate. I know you don't want to die at all, right?"
Gu Xicao raised her head and stared at Wang Xin, "You still have a mother. Your mother is sick and in the hospital. If you die, what will happen to your mother?!"
Ou Lingfeng was stunned. He walked to Inspector Liu and said, "Inspector, what's going on? Does she really have a mother?"
Inspector Liu nodded, took a deep breath, and exhaled a puff of white smoke. "We just asked someone to investigate. Wang Xin does have a mother. Her mother is in the ICU, and it costs 10,000 yuan a day. We dare not contact them, for fear that something might happen!"
Ou Lingfeng understood now.
He said it was a wonder he didn't contact the family. Given the situation at the other party's family, he really didn't dare to contact them. If the patient died from the shock, we would be in big trouble.
"Think about your mother. Your father is not here, and she can only rely on you."
Gu Xicao looked at Wang Xin firmly, "You won't die, and you don't want to die. You made such a big fuss today just to find a way for your family to survive."
Everyone was confused.
Wang Xin sniffed, his eyes reddened, his nose sour, "Yes, you are right, I don't want to cause trouble, I don't want to cause trouble to everyone, but I really can't. My mother needs 10,000 yuan a day for medical expenses, and the money my father left behind was all used to pay off debts. People in the company said that he ran away with the money, saying that he took away 3 million yuan from the company, but I know it's impossible!"
“Donation run away?”
Gu Zhizhang remembered. He leaned on his cane and said to Yan Qin, "Didn't Aihua Company say that an accountant ran away with the money at the beginning of the year? Could he be the father of this child?"
Yan Qin glanced at Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan sighed: "Yes, the father of this child is the accountant. How did you handle this matter at that time, Yan Qin?"
Yan Qin looked helpless, "Uncle Gu, Mom, I really don't know much about this matter. Uncle was not in good health at that time, so Mom and I went to take care of you. I don't know anything about what happened here."
"If you don't know, then call someone who knows!"
Gu Xicao interrupted Yan Qin and said, "The company is just downstairs, and it's working hours now, so we can find her there, right?"
"this……"
A hesitant look appeared on Yan Qin's face.
Gu Zhizhang's face turned cold. "Why are you still hesitating? Someone is about to die. If we don't call the person up quickly to deal with it, do we have to wait for reporters to report it and make a big fuss before we can get anxious?"
Seeing that Gu Zhizhan was angry, Yan Qin didn't dare to say anything more. She quickly said yes and sent someone down to call for help.
The person who came had an ugly look on his face.
When she first came in, she didn't even look at Wang Xin. Instead, she greeted Gu Zhizhang and Zhang Yan very warmly, "Boss Gu, my cousin's aunt."
Gu Zhizhang glanced at him and said, "Wang Xiang, what are you talking to us about at this time? How did you deal with the matter of Aihua's accountant running away with the money?"
Wang Xiang then looked at Wang Xin. He spread his hands with an innocent look on his face. "Boss Gu, I just followed the company's rules. When something like this happens, of course I call the police immediately and try to get the money back. If the money can't be recovered, I'll ask her family for repayment. This is legal and compliant!"
"You're lying. There's no way my dad could have run away with the money!"
When Wang Xin heard what Wang Xiang said, he leaned forward excitedly, staggered and almost fell backwards.
Everyone screamed in fear.
Even Gu Xicao was so frightened that her face turned pale and her palms were sweating. She said to Wang Xin, "Ms. Wang, don't get excited. You think your father is wronged. You should calm down and solve this matter properly."
Wang Xin held on to the railing tightly. She was so scared that her face turned pale and her legs were numb.
"I, I know, but my father really didn't, really didn't. On the morning he disappeared, he told me that he would bring my favorite cake home tonight. He's not that kind of person, really, really..."
As Wang Xin spoke, her face was unknowingly covered with tears.
"My father is well-known for being honest. He would just put up with bullying. My mother was in poor health and was diagnosed with cancer last year. My father worked very hard to make money. He helped other companies with accounting after work and worked three jobs. I wanted to stop studying and come out to earn money to help, but my father refused. He said that if a girl didn't study, she wouldn't be able to find a good job in this society and would be bullied. He said that he would sell his blood and kidney to support my college education. He saved 30,000 yuan for my college tuition. How could he run away?"
Everyone felt sad when they heard this.
Ou Lingfeng was touched and couldn't help but look thoughtful.
These policemen have seen a lot of people. Generally, bad guys, especially those who abandon their wives and children, are mostly selfish. It is impossible for such people to work so hard for their wives and daughters, not to mention that their family conditions are tight and they have to find ways to send their daughters to college.
If he was really a bad guy, he would have divorced his wife when she was diagnosed with cancer, or he would have run away. Why would he wait until the beginning of the year?
"You are your father's daughter, of course you say that!"
Wang Xiang snorted disdainfully and pointed at Wang Xin, saying, "Everyone misjudged your father. We all thought he was an honest man, so we trusted him and let him manage the company seal. Who knew that he kept silent, donated 3 million yuan of the company's money and ran away? This is 3 million yuan, your father can't earn so much money in his lifetime, how could he not be tempted? Because of your father's mess, I was scolded by my boss, and Aihua Company almost closed down. You still have the nerve to say this!"
Wang Xiang's accusation made people waver again.
Yan Qin said calmly: "Wang Xin is very pitiful, but the company did lose more than three million because of her father, and the company did nothing wrong. If someone committed a crime and made a scene, who would be responsible for the company's losses? Wang Xin, you'd better get down. No matter how much you make a scene, it's a foregone conclusion that your father ran away with the money!"
Inspector Liu was confused.
She looked at Wang Xiang and Yan Qin, "You two, the most urgent thing is to persuade him to come down. If you have anything to say, we can talk about it later. Is that right?"
Wang Xiang laughed and waved his hand like a palm leaf fan, "Of course we don't want to see anyone get into trouble, but it is a fact that Wang Lin ran away with the money. The company can't change its words. We don't know who to ask to compensate for the loss of 3 million."
Inspector Liu was very angry.
Gu Xicao couldn't help but ask, "Do you have any evidence to prove that Wang Lin ran away with the money?"
"Of course there is evidence!" Wang Xiang looked at Gu Xicao, looking her up and down with a look of disdain, "On the day of the incident, the bank had surveillance footage proving that Wang Lin took the company's seal and took away three million, and that Wang Lin disappeared after that day. If this is not evidence, then what is it?"
this? ?
Gu Zhizhan showed hesitation on his face.
If this is true, then it is beyond doubt.
"But the surveillance can only prove that he took the money."
Gu Xicao said, "It doesn't prove that he really took the money and ran away, right?"
Wang Xiang looked at Gu Xicao and said, "Ms. Gu, I think you are just making trouble. You are not taking the money and running away. What's going on? If Wang Lin is really innocent, why doesn't he show up? At least he should contact his family!"
indeed.
That's exactly the problem.
It was precisely because Wang Lin had not shown up that everyone believed that he had absconded with the money.
Gu Xicao looked at Wang Xiang, "Is it possible that he can't show up even if he wants to?"
Gu Xicao looked at Wang Xin: "Ms. Wang, if you come down now, I will tell you where your father is."
Wang Xin was stunned, "Really, you didn't lie to me?!"
Gu Xicao said: "I never lie. If you come down, I will ask the police to find your father."
"Okay, okay, I believe you, don't lie to me!"
Wang Xin now looked at Gu Xicao as if he had grasped the last straw.
Inspector Liu hurriedly took another colleague to help the man down.
When Wang Xiang saw people coming down, he wanted to leave.
Gu Xicao called out to Wang Xiang, "Boss Wang, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
Wang Xiang said unhappily, "Didn't this guy come down? We have a lot of things to do in Aihua. We are too busy to handle them all. How can we waste time here?"
"I think you should stay."
Gu Xicao said: "This matter is still very relevant to you. After all, finding Wang Lin is just the beginning."
Found Wang Lin?
Wang Xiang was stunned. He looked at Gu Xicao for a while, and suddenly laughed: "Miss Gu, you are really funny. Wang Lin has been missing for a long time. How did you find him? Do you think you are a great detective?"
"I'm not a detective, but that doesn't stop me from knowing where Wang Lin is now."
Gu Xicao looked back and waved to Lin Jianyi.
Ou Lingfeng thought he was being allowed to pass, and just as he was about to leave, he saw Lin Jianyi passing by him.
He uttered an "ah".
Inspector Liu kindly reminded: "Sir Ou, they know each other."
Gu Xicao whispered an address into Lin Jianyi's ear. Lin Jianyi nodded slightly and went back to report to Ou Lingfeng.
Ou Lingfeng frowned, incredulous, "Is this true?"
"Trust me, Master Gu never makes mistakes in his calculations!" Lin Jianyi said confidently and decisively.
Ou Lingfeng hesitated and said, "Okay, you lead the team over there and call me immediately if you have any news."
Lin Jianyi nodded and hurried down with his men.
Gu Xicao looked at Gu Zhizhang and said, "Grandpa, this matter is also our group's business. It's not appropriate to handle it on the rooftop. Let's find another place to handle it."
Gu Zhizhang understood, "Then go to my office."
Inspector Liu and another female police officer were responsible for accompanying Wang Xin down.
Wang Xin kept looking at Gu Xicao with an anxious look in her eyes. When she walked past Gu Xicao, she grabbed her hand and said, "Ms. Gu, please don't lie to me. Don't lie to me."
The expression on her face was like that of a frightened little animal.
Gu Xicao gently held her hand and said, "I won't lie to you. I will give you and your father justice."
"Brother Yiqi, where are we going now?"
The assault vehicle started and merged into the traffic flow.
The colleagues in the car couldn't help but ask.
Lin Jianyi drove the car with a serious look on his face, "Go find someone."
"Of course we know we are going to look for him, but can we really find him?" my colleague couldn't help wondering, "If he runs away with the money, the police will also issue a wanted notice. It's been almost a year and we still haven't found him. Is it that easy to find him?"
"Yes, Xuanyuan Group also gave a bonus of 100,000 yuan for this case. Such a huge amount of money has been spent, but no one has found it. This shows that this person is hiding very deeply." Another colleague obviously knew something about this case.
Lin Jianyi looked at the traffic ahead with a gloomy look in his eyes.
"Maybe it's not that this person is hiding very deeply, but that he has never appeared again."
Never appeared again?
Colleagues looked at each other in bewilderment. How could a grown man make a fire in Hong Kong without coming into contact with others? Even if he hid in the mountains and forests, there were not many trees in Hong Kong, and many people liked to go hiking, so it was hard not to see people.
Half an hour later.
Lin Jianyi called.
As soon as the phone rang, Inspector Liu went over and picked it up: "Hello, what's up, did you find it?"
Everyone in the office couldn't help but look up, staring and pricking up their ears.
Wang Xin looked at Inspector Liu with anticipation in his eyes.
"Yes, I found it."
Lin Jianyi looked at the body dug out from the construction site. The flesh had completely decayed and only bones were visible, but the documents on the body were enough to prove that this was the Wang Lin they were looking for.
"The person is already dead. He has been dead for about ten months. The cause of death was burial alive. There are fatal wounds on the body and a severe blow to the back of the head."
When Inspector Liu heard this, his breathing paused.
She subconsciously wanted to look up at Wang Xin, but when she raised her eyelids, she involuntarily looked away.
"Are you sure it's really him?"
"Absolutely."
Lin Jianyi just finished speaking.
A colleague shouted, "Head, I found a cake card here, and it's not rotten yet!"
Without saying a word, Lin Jianyi walked over and took a look. When he saw the cake card, his pupils contracted. It was unknown what he thought of, and he turned around and rushed to the phone.
"I see."
Inspector Liu hung up the phone.
Wang Xin looked at Inspector Liu expectantly, "Sir, how is my father? Where is he?"
Inspector Liu wanted to speak, but when he saw Wang Xin's expression, he couldn't bear it.
She opened her mouth and closed her eyes. "Your father is dead. Our police just found his body at a construction site."
What?
Wang Xin felt as if something exploded in his head. He felt dizzy, saw stars, and almost fainted.
"Miss Wang, Miss Wang, are you okay?"
The female police officer was terrified and hurried to call 120. Wang Xin grabbed her hand. The nails of her other finger were deeply embedded in her palm and bleeding, but she didn't feel any pain at all.
"My dad is really dead. How did he die?"
"We checked his body and found a heavy blow on the back of his head. Our colleagues suspected that someone had attacked your father, knocked him unconscious, and then dragged him to the construction site and buried him alive."
Inspector Liu felt a little reluctant as he spoke to the 17-year-old girl.
Wang Xin's hands were shaking.
She had a wooden face, tears falling one after another, "So my father really didn't run away with the money, he was murdered by someone!"
"You can't be so sure!"
Wang Xiang spoke again, "Now we can only say that he is dead. It is possible that he committed the crime with his accomplice, and the two of them did not share the spoils equally, so he was beaten to death! The bank surveillance showed that the money was taken by your father!"
"impossible!"
"impossible!"
Almost at the same time, Wang Xin and Inspector Liu refuted in unison.
The difference is that one's tone is resentful, while the other's is decisive.
Wang Xin looked at Inspector Liu with some surprise.
Inspector Liu took a deep breath and said, "We found a cake card around the body, the kind of cake card that..."
She paused for a moment and said, "I guess it was the cake that Wang Xin mentioned that her father promised to buy for her. If a person wants to be an accomplice in a crime and run away with the money, he would not think about bringing a cake home for his daughter at night."
Everyone was stunned.
After hearing these words, Wang Xin couldn't help but hugged her legs and burst into tears.
The policewoman couldn't bear it and wiped her tears with a tissue.
“Then…”
Wang Xiang had an embarrassed look on his face, as if he wanted to say something.
Gu Xicao suddenly asked, "Wang Xiang, you have always believed that the other party ran away with the money, but there is one thing, isn't it very strange? Wang Lin is a very honest person, he would not withdraw money for no reason. It must be because his leader asked him to go to the bank to withdraw such a large sum of money at once. Who is this leader? Since the money was not taken by Wang Lin, who took it? Is it possible that these two people are actually the same person?"
After Gu Xicao finished speaking, the office suddenly fell silent.
Wang Xiang was sweating profusely and said angrily, "How should I know? He didn't run away with the money. That's really weird. I'm confused!"
"What are you wondering about?"
Gu Xicao asked back, "You are pretending to be deaf and dumb here. Do you really think that everyone is a fool? You are Wang Lin's leader. No one else can ask Wang Lin to withdraw money except you. Needless to say, this money is also in your hands!"
