Office of Criminal Investigation Team 2, Jiangcheng High-tech Branch.
Xing Fei organized a stack of investigation materials, pondering the suspicious points of the mass disappearance case. This time, he made a new discovery and prepared to question Li Mu again.
Normally, these kinds of missing persons cases would have nothing to do with his Major Crimes Unit 2, but this matter was of great importance. The mass disappearance of hundreds of people had a wide-ranging impact, and as of now, about ninety of the missing persons have been identified and reported missing.
Currently, the case investigation is not complicated, but the progress of the case has stalled.
Let's revisit the entire investigation process.
First, the surveillance footage from the first and second floors shows that before the incident, a large number of people, including Li Mu and his father, went up to the third floor via the stairs. After the main door on the first floor was locked from the inside, everyone went to the third floor. This is all the content captured by the surveillance cameras during the time of the incident.
Based on this, the crime scene was determined to be on the third floor of the Qinglongju building in the Hedao Club, but there were no surveillance cameras installed on the third floor, making a thorough investigation impossible.
According to the on-site investigation, there were no signs of a struggle or fingerprints on the third floor, only a few pools of solidified molten iron.
The molten iron was identified as a recently melted alloy containing iron, copper, and trace amounts of gunpowder residue. However, no traces of fire or burning were found at the scene.
After questioning the club staff, it was confirmed that carpets and tables and chairs were laid out in the lobby. What was puzzling was that the tables, chairs, and carpets disappeared along with the people.
Currently, there are two witnesses or suspects: Li Mu and Li Hongjun. They are the only two people out of more than one hundred who have not gone missing.
According to the building's external surveillance footage, the two men entered the third floor and, about forty minutes later, suddenly appeared on the side of the building, then walked to their car and drove away.
Xing Fei was also very troubled by this bizarre case. He was certain that the two Lis knew some inside information.
However, one of them only gave a one-sentence statement, and the other was either genuinely stupid or pretending to be.
As for the idea that two people killed hundreds of people and then disposed of the bodies, Xing Fei absolutely refused to believe it, because it was simply not scientific.
.
Xing Fei touched his face and got up, preparing to question Li Mu again.
There were also bruises the size of a finger on his face, which was part of the reason why he wanted to get to the bottom of the case.
When you go to investigate a case, you get beaten up by a madman for no reason. Even if you have a good temper, you'll still feel angry.
Yesterday, I went to Longjun Villa to check the surveillance footage and found two gangsters from the Sihehui (Triads) appearing near Li Mu's house.
Following this line of thought, I was surprised to learn that both of them had died of heart attacks yesterday.
If one person suffers a sudden heart attack, it's understandable, but it's unacceptable for two people to suffer heart attacks almost simultaneously.
As Xing Fei walked out, a series of keywords came to mind.
"Li Mu, the richest man's son was beaten, the richest couple had a car accident, the Four Triads, hundreds of Four Triad members went missing, a Four Triad member suffered a heart attack."
He seemed to have caught a lead in the investigation, so he quickened his pace.
"Captain Xing, here's your phone."
Xing Fei had barely left the office when someone called him back. After finishing the call, he slumped down in despair.
The instruction from the city bureau's superiors was just two words: "Release him."
He was indeed unwilling, but he was just a small team leader, and a deputy one at that, so he had no choice but to comply.
.
In the interrogation room, Xing Fei looked at Li Mu across from him with a smile.
Although he was just a squad leader, he had to consider the big picture and principles, and he also had to follow orders. Releasing the person was definitely the right thing to do.
However, as a veteran criminal investigator, I can't feel at ease if I don't ask the questions in my heart.
"Li Mu, just letting you know, I just received instructions that you can leave. Before you go, I have something I want to ask you. Do you know Huang Hui and Ma Long? Oh! Their nicknames are Yellow Hair and Stubble."
The police station just arrested these two men for fighting and causing trouble. They said they went to your house a few days ago. I'm going to interrogate them. Do you have anything to say?
After Xing Fei finished speaking, he looked at Li Mu with a smile. Although the case didn't need to be investigated further, it was very likely to become a cold case.
However, he just wanted to see Li Mu's reaction; this is a habit that comes with being a criminal investigator for a long time.
After hearing Xing Fei's words, Li Mu wanted to laugh to himself, thinking, "You underestimate me too much. I'm about to release them, and you're still trying to trap me."
Both Huang Mao and Ma Gan had their heart meridians severed by his own attack three days ago. Even if they weren't dead, they'd be lying at home waiting to die. There's absolutely no way they would go out and fight like Xing Fei said.
"Oh! Let me think, it must have been three days ago. A blond guy and a tall, thin guy dumped trash in my yard. I tried to reason with them and asked them to clean it up, but instead of cleaning it up, they ran away."
"Now that you've arrested them, I'm calling the police and demanding they clean up my yard and pay me some compensation for emotional distress, and then we'll call it even. Otherwise, next time I run into these two, I definitely won't be so lenient."
"Well..."
Xing Fei didn't expect Li Mu to answer like that. Why would Huang Mao and Ma Gan throw garbage into someone's villa?
"Officer Xing, I'll be going now. Remember to help me get compensation for emotional distress from that blond guy!"
After Li Mu finished speaking, he got up and left the interrogation room.
.
"Is this Mr. Li? I'm Mr. Li's driver. Mr. Li... Oh! Young Master Fang sent me to pick you up. He's waiting for you at the company."
As soon as Li Mu and Li Hongjun came out of the police station, a young man who claimed to be Mr. Li's driver came over to greet them.
Just a minute ago, Li Hongjun, who was still maintaining his crazy persona at the police station, turned pale after hearing that Young Master Fang was "waiting at the company".
He dropped all pretense, and a powerful, imposing aura suddenly arose.
"Take us home first, and we'll go straight to the company this afternoon."
After saying that, Li Hongjun got into the car first, and Li Mu followed him into the back seat without saying a word.
After making a phone call outside the car, the driver followed Li Mu's directions and took the two back to the villa.
"Aunt Xia!"
After Li Mu got out of the car, he saw Aunt Xia, who looked somewhat timid, passing by the Li family's door and preparing to leave. He immediately called her back.
"Mumu, where have you been all this time..., Second Master!? You're back. Oh my!!!"
Since being kicked out, Xia Yi has visited the Li family three times, but missed them all.
She wasn't after the nanny job; she genuinely cared about Li Mu and wanted to come and see him.
Seeing the second boss and Li Mu return together, I felt much relieved, but thinking of the first boss and his wife, I sighed again.
"Sister Xia, when did you get back? Why don't you go inside? ... Oh well! Let's go inside first."
Li Hongjun was happy to see Sister Xia return, but he also felt somewhat helpless when he thought about his family's situation.
.
After the three entered the house, they chatted for a while.
With such a drastic change happening in the Li family in such a short time, Xia Yi was also very uneasy. Now that the second boss and Li Mu were both alright, after some consideration, she decided to stay.
After Aunt Xia finished making a call to the property cleaning staff and started getting busy, Li Mu and Li Hongjun walked into the study at the same time.
The Li family from Yanjing has arrived. What brings them here? It must be for their own assets. Needless to say, both of them guessed this.
Knowing something is one thing, but keeping it to yourself is useless; you have to say it out loud to deal with it.
After experiencing that massacre, Li Hongjun witnessed Li Mu's methods and ruthless decisiveness.
His nephew had grown to a point where he looked up to him, and he felt it was time to tell him everything.
Li Mu probably doesn't know much, and he has no concept of the current family business.
He didn't belong to this world; he was a cultivator who sought immortality, and he looked down on worldly wealth.
If he could exchange his family fortune for the resources to cultivate to the Foundation Establishment stage, he would do so without hesitation.
Now, some people are trying to get something for nothing; they're practically robbing people outright.
He can refuse it, or give it away, but you can't take it from him.
His thought about such people who seize by force was simple: "Just kill them!"
