Chapter 994 He died just like that?
"Who?!" My heart sank suddenly. Apart from his family, the people close to Xiao Shiqiu were his assistants and confidants.
Could it be Xiao Yang?
Qiu Binjie squeezed out three words from between his teeth: "Si Kouting!"
"She?!" I was a little bit unbelievable, "How could it be her? Wasn't she transferred? Moreover, she is so... "
I thought of the loving look she gave Xiao Shiqiu. It was obvious that she had feelings for Xiao Shiqiu.
Could it be that she is the kind of vicious woman who will destroy something if she can't get it?
"That's her!" Qiu Binjie exhaled heavily. "This matter is really thanks to Xiao Yang's alertness."
"Xiao Yang? He found it?" I was surprised again.
"Yes, Xiao Shiqiu's current assistant, Xiao Yang." Qiu Binjie explained, "This guy has actually always had a crush on Si Kou Ting.
When Si Kouting was the chief assistant, she ignored him.
Since she was transferred, her attitude has changed. She would occasionally ask Xiao Yang to have dinner and chat with her.
Xiao Yang was happy at the time, thinking that it was an office romance that needed to be avoided, but now that she was transferred, she had a chance.
I recalled Xiao Yang's slightly shy face and didn't expect that he would have such thoughts.
According to Qiu Binjie, later on, although Si Kouting would intentionally or unintentionally ask about Xiao Shiqiu's situation every time they met, Xiao Yang didn't find it too strange. After all, the core of their previous work revolved around Xiao Shiqiu.
Xiao Yang said that he was still sensible and only talked about unimportant things.
But ever since we began to suspect that she and Lu Yuanqing might be related by blood, Xiao Yang's heart became tense.
However, feelings are not something that can be let go just like that. Xiao Yang still has some thoughts and hopes about her, thinking that she may not know about the Lu family's crazy deeds.
I always wonder how deep the relationship between the brother and sister can be since they have been separated since childhood?
"And then?" I asked anxiously.
"Just the night before yesterday," Qiu Binjie's eyes sharpened, "Si Kouting suddenly took the initiative to invite Xiao Yang to her house. She was more enthusiastic than ever before and even... hinted that he could stay overnight.
Xiao Yang was indeed very excited at the time, but the more he was, the more nervous he became.
Qiu Binjie paused, as if considering his words. "Just when the two of them were... that thing, Si Kou Ting pretended to ask casually, saying that she heard that Mr. Xiao was injured and hospitalized. What's his condition? Which hospital and which ward is he in? She wanted to go and see him."
Xiao Yang's heart skipped a beat at that moment!
The news that Xiao Shiqiu was seriously injured and in a coma was strictly blocked!
Apart from a few core members of the Xiao family and those responsible for security, even Tang Yi only knew that Xiao Shiqiu was handling an urgent matter abroad!
How did she, Si Kou Ting, a marginalized former assistant, get the information?
And it was accurate information such as 'injured and hospitalized'!
"Xiao Yang was smart. He didn't deny it right away or show shock," Qiu Binjie continued. "He feigned embarrassment, hesitating and saying he didn't quite know. However, he did reveal that Xiao Shiru had asked him to deliver something to the Armed Police General Hospital a few days ago."
"General Hospital of the Armed Police?" I was stunned. It was an official hospital famous for its surgery and orthopedics. Given Xiao Shiqiu's identity, it was easy to believe that he was injured and admitted to this hospital.
This is also the hospital where the Xiao family and Qiu Binjie can easily coordinate relations.
"Yes, Xiao Yang deliberately misled her, saying that Xiao Shiru asked him to deliver something to that hospital.
Si Kouting wanted to continue asking questions when she heard this. Xiao Yang immediately made an excuse, saying his phone was vibrating and there seemed to be a call. He then pretended to have a temporary task and had to rush over, and then hurried away.
As soon as Xiao Yang went out, he immediately called Wen Congwu!
Wen Congwu was worried about the case and had no clue. When he heard this, he was like falling asleep and getting a pillow delivered to his head!
He immediately mobilized personnel and set up surveillance at the Armed Police General Hospital, focusing on caregivers and cleaners who had access to hospitalization information and could easily disguise themselves and blend in.
"Sure enough!" Qiu Binjie sneered, "Yesterday morning, the police officers on duty spotted a suspicious-looking woman in a nurse's uniform lurking around the hospital, specifically trying to pick up on the nurses and cleaners to get information.
After identification, it was Si Kouting!
She probably wanted to confirm whether Xiao Shiqiu really lived here, or to find out the specific ward number.
They grabbed her right there and took her straight back to the police station.”
"Did she admit it?" I leaned forward slightly unconsciously.
"It's not that easy. She was very stubborn at first!" Qiu Binjie shook his head. "When we arrested her, she started yelling and accusing the police of arresting people indiscriminately. When she got to the police station, she refused to admit anything.
When asked why she pretended to be a nurse and went to the hospital to inquire, she said that she was just concerned about her former boss. She wanted to visit him but was afraid of disturbing him, so she wanted to find out clearly first.
When asked how she knew Xiao Shiqiu was injured, she insisted that she heard it from a 'former colleague', but she couldn't name who it was.
"What should I do then?" I asked anxiously. Is the clue going to be lost again?
"Just when the interrogation was at a stalemate," Qiu Binjie's eyes narrowed, "we received an emergency report from the port of T City."
"port?"
"Yes, the port staff reported that a cargo ship that was originally scheduled to leave the port at midnight the day before yesterday was delayed until yesterday afternoon for some unknown reason.
What is even more suspicious is that they refused the port's request for routine boarding inspection and took a very tough attitude.
In order to prevent the Lu family from escaping, we had already issued a joint investigation notice to all airports, ports, and stations, requiring them to pay close attention to suspicious persons and abnormal movements.
As soon as the port discovered something was wrong with the ship, they notified us immediately."
After receiving the notification, Wen Congwu immediately contacted the local police in City T and asked them to send people to the port immediately.
When the police arrived, the freighter had already started its engine and was trying to force its way out of the port!
The police asked them to stop their boat for inspection, but instead of stopping, they sped up!
The coast guard vessel at the port immediately moved forward to intercept the attack, and a conflict broke out instantly!
Several people on the boat actually pulled out guns and tried to force their way through the checkpoint. Fortunately, the police had weapons ready, and a magnificent gunfight was staged on the sea.
I gasped, this is truly a desperado!
"It's said the scene was in complete chaos," Qiu Binjie said gravely. "During the intense exchange of fire, our men, while cleaning up the scene afterwards, discovered that one of the dead on the boat was Lu Yuanqing! His identity has been confirmed."
