Zhang Xiong originally wanted to continue reporting, but seeing Shen Mengyao's expression, he stopped and said silently, "Mr. Shen, I am in deep sorrow."
Chen Mengyao didn't say anything. Her eyes were a little red, and slowly, two tears flowed out.
After a while, Shen Mengyao wiped away her tears and regained her composure.
She was as calm as usual.
Li Jing is dead.
This is a fact that no one can change.
What she has to do now is to investigate the truth of the matter as much as possible. She has a suspicion in her mind about who killed Li Jing, and she will make that person pay the price.
During this period, she always hoped that Li Jing was not dead and could escape by chance. Although she knew that the probability of this was very small, she still had such a thought.
After actually learning the news of Li Jing's death and confirming everything, she quickly let it go.
People are dead, there is no point in being sad.
Those who are alive should live well.
"Tell me about the situation." Chen Mengyao believed in Zhang Xiong's ability. There must be something behind this matter.
"OK."
Zhang Xiong paused, briefly recounting the search process, and then continued, "There should be at least eight killers in total. Six of them are dead, and the remaining two left no clues. But according to the three of us, we speculate that these two people killed the six killers."
"What's going on here?" Chen Mengyao asked doubtfully, "Could it be an internal conflict?"
"I can't rule out this possibility, but I personally tend to believe that these two people and these six people are not in the same group. Perhaps they have a close relationship with Li Jing and can be regarded as revenge for Li Jing. As for why they turned against her and why they buried Li Jing's body, we can't make an objective guess."
Chen Mengyao did not interrupt, she was listening carefully.
"Li Jing's phone was hidden under the bed. When we found it, it was powered off and had run out of battery. The phone was on silent mode, so it's clear that Li Jing must have hidden it herself. As for why she left the phone behind, we don't know."
"After charging the phone, we discovered that Li Jing's last call was from Jiangnan City. We then investigated the number and found it was a public phone located in a phone booth in Jiangnan City. We also checked the surveillance footage and even tracked down the caller. It turned out that the caller had been paid by someone else to make the call. We speculate that the purpose of the call was to confirm Li Jing's location."
"By the way, among the six killers, the identity of one can be confirmed. He is a very famous professional killer nicknamed Poison Eagle. However, this professional killer is very mysterious and has always been a loner. He has no partner or organization, so the clues are cut off here."
"Thank you for your hard work."
Chen Mengyao was a little surprised, but also very pleased. In just a few days, Zhang Xiong was able to find so many details. This level was far higher than that of professional criminal police.
But Zhang Xiong hadn't finished yet. He continued, "When we found Li Jing's body, we met people from the Jiangnan Military Region. They were investigating the case under Cao Jianjun's orders. I led them to the six killers, but the bodies had been burned, so they probably wouldn't be able to find any clues."
"Someone from the Cao family?" Chen Mengyao was startled and frowned.
“Boss Shen, I want to remind you that they are Cao Jianjun’s people, not necessarily Cao’s family.”
"What do you mean?" Chen Mengyao was puzzled.
Zhang Xiong explained, "Later, we investigated the current situation of the Cao family and learned that Cao Jianguo, the current head of the Cao Group, is extremely cunning and has a habit of adopting orphans and semi-raising them. He has raised at least a dozen orphans over the years, and Li Jing is one of them. Li Jing has had a good relationship with Cao Ying, the eldest daughter of the Cao family, since childhood. Cao Ying took good care of Li Jing when she was young, and the two have been as close as sisters since childhood. Cao Jianjun, on the other hand, is not keen on family affairs and has a completely different personality from Cao Jianguo. So we have confirmed one thing: these people from the military region were all sent by Cao Ying on her father's behalf. They are all elites from the special operations brigade."
After hearing this, Chen Mengyao finally understood.
Finally, she asked, "Have you found out where the orphans Cao Jianguo adopted are now?"
"Well, I'm sorry, Mr. Shen, time is limited and it's too difficult. I can't find it at the moment. Do you want to check it?" Zhang Xiong said.
Chen Mengyao waved her hand: "No need to check, you have done a great job, better than I imagined. I really didn't expect that you could find so much information in such a short time, with almost no clues. It's already rare."
Zhang Xiong said modestly, "I apologize for not being able to investigate the truth behind this."
Chen Mengyao forced a smile and said, "Mr. Zhang, you are too polite. By the way, what happened to Li Jing's body? How did you deal with it in the end?"
"It has been handed over to the military district to be taken back. I believe Cao Ying will handle it properly."
Nodding, Chen Mengyao said: "Letting her return to the Cao family is also considered returning home."
"Mr. Shen, I don't know why you are investigating this case, but I have a bold guess. Perhaps the real culprit behind the scenes is the Cao family themselves. I mean Cao Jianguo." Zhang Nan suddenly said.
Chen Mengyao wasn't surprised at all: "How can you prove it?"
"I can't prove it, it's just my guess."
"How did you guess that? What's your basis?"
Zhang Xiong said, "There are two reasons for this. First, most people definitely don't know where Li Jing's phone is. If it was her enemy, there would be no need to entrust a stranger to locate it. Unless it's someone from the Cao family, there's no need to beat around the bush. The reason she did this was to avoid suspicion later."
"And the second point?"
"There probably aren't many people who would seek revenge for Li Jing, and the most likely person would be one of her close friends. But she's a fox, so besides Cao Ying and you, there's only one other possible friend left: someone she grew up with."
Chen Mengyao was shocked: "Are you talking about those orphans with similar backgrounds to her?"
"That's right."
Zhang Xiong continued, "Cao Jianguo wanted to silence the witnesses, but he knew Li Jing's abilities too well. He might have sent these orphans as a precaution, knowing they would have a higher chance of success. However, there's a possibility that the people he sent out would complete their mission but also kill the assassins, thus thwarting his plan to deflect attention and shift the blame to someone else."
Chen Mengyao became more certain of her judgment and said to herself, "It must be them."
Zhang Xiong said, "Boss Shen, this is just speculation and conjecture. There is no evidence, and these cannot be used as a basis for solving the case. I think the police will not intervene in this case. Even if they intervene, they will not be able to find out the truth."
