Chapter 29 Hostage Exchange (Part 3)



Chapter 29 Hostage Exchange (Part 3)

No matter how powerful Huang Can was, she could not defeat four hands with two fists. Moreover, she had no gun and no weapon to take hostages. After a brief stalemate, she was controlled by four policemen.

Xia Beibei took a breath and was about to go downstairs when Zhou Xun suddenly ran over, grabbed her arm, and pressed his fingers behind her shoulder.

“You’re hurt!”

Xia Beibei was stunned. She felt pain where he pressed. She frowned and shook her head belatedly.

"It's just a minor injury, nothing serious."

It should be because she was kicked against the wall when fighting with Huang Can just now. Xia Beibei moved her shoulders, pushed Zhou Xun away and walked downstairs. Zhou Xun glanced downstairs, then quickly supported her from behind.

Shen Yunfei arrived very quickly. Not long after the local police cordoned off the scene, he brought people over, including the forensic doctor Gu Ding.

"Boss Bei, are you injured?"

As soon as Shen Yunfei arrived, he saw Xia Beibei leaning in Zhou Xun's arms with a pale face. He immediately asked with concern. Xia Beibei got up from Zhou Xun's arms and shook her head.

"It's okay. My ID is in Lin Qi's bag. I don't know where that woman went. They won't let me in. Can you help me explain it?"

Shen Yunfei understood and walked over to talk to a nearby police officer. Xia Beibei took the opportunity to say to Zhou Xun:

"You should go back first. Someone must have recorded what happened and posted it online. If my aunt sees it, she will start to have wild thoughts and call me. You should go back and explain it to her."

Zhou Xun touched her head and said, "Okay, but you still need to apply medicine on your shoulder. I'll let Gu Ding take a look at it later."

After Xia Beibei waved her hand to drive the people away, she followed Shen Yunfei into the blockade. Gu Ding was busy in front of the corpse. When he saw the two people coming, he stood up and sighed with a heavy face.

"The fatal wound is the knife on his chest. Look carefully at the knife."

Xia Beibei and Shen Yunfei looked in the direction where his finger pointed at the same time. Xia Beibei looked calm, but Shen Yunfei had an unsightly expression.

"The same dagger, the same sun mark, so this person was killed by someone from the Sun Organization."

Xia Beibei pointed at Huang Can who was being held by the police outside the cordon and said, "When the deceased was pushed down from the upper floor, she was on the second floor. She is Huang Can, the third sister in the Sun Organization. Take her back first."

After saying that, she suddenly remembered something and pointed at the knife-wielding woman who had been knocked unconscious by her and was carried to the sofa.

"And that one, she might be carrying a life, let's take her back with her."

It was already ten o'clock in the evening when Gao Bochuan came back. Xia Beibei heard that he was furious in the conference room and was so scared that she didn't dare to get close to him. She turned around and prepared to sneak into the interrogation room, but she ran into Gao Bochuan at the door.

Her eyelids twitched, and she thought for a long time but couldn't figure out how she had offended him. She scratched the back of her head and was about to apologize first, but Gao Bochuan looked at her expressionlessly and turned into the interrogation room.

Shen Yunfei came over and lowered his voice and said, "The boss is not targeting you, he just has this temper. He is dissatisfied with you for not informing him immediately. Don't take it to heart."

Xia Beibei sighed, stretched out her hand and pushed Shen Yunfei inside, "Brother Chen, you are my brother, you follow me in today, if the boss asks you, just say I have something to do and leave first, I..."

"Xia Beibei!"

Gao Bochuan's voice came from the interrogation room. Shen Yunfei breathed a sigh of relief, patted Xia Beibei's shoulder sympathetically, and then ran away immediately. Xia Beibei was shocked. This heartless man ran so fast!

In the interrogation room, the woman who held Maureen hostage with a knife was curled up on a stool, her face pale, her eyes staring at her fingers in a daze.

Xia Beibei sat next to Gao Bochuan and saw that his face was still frighteningly cold. She tried to say something to him, but Gao Bochuan had already asked her to take the woman's statement.

The woman's name is Sun Jing. She got married five years ago. Her husband is an employee of a logistics company. They have a four-year-old daughter. Their relationship is neither good nor bad, and their family conditions are average.

Sun Jing and Lv Jiaming were classmates in junior high school. After a class reunion a year ago, Lv Jiaming launched a fierce offensive against Sun Jing. Lv Jiaming was a typical tall, rich and handsome man. Sun Jing had long been tired of a life of daily necessities, so Lv Jiaming caught up with her in just half a month.

After buying several designer bags, Sun Jing wanted to divorce and throw herself into Lu Jiaming's arms, but when Lu Jiaming heard that she wanted a divorce, he disappeared.

Sun Jing searched for him all over the world, and later heard from his former classmates that Lu Jiaming’s biggest hobby was to chase after his former female classmates after every class reunion.

Anyone who was a little bit pretty, whether married or single, had been pursued by him. Once he got the person and got tired of them, he would disappear. He had played with almost all the female classmates from junior high school to college.

Because he was generous and gave enough breakup fee, most people acquiesced. But Sun Jing was different. Her husband had discovered that she had cheated on him and had evidence. If she divorced, she would have to leave the house with nothing. Lu Jiaming also ran away, so she was left with nothing.

When she couldn't find Lu Jiaming, she went back to beg her husband, but her husband still forced her to divorce without giving her a penny or her daughter.

Half a month ago, her husband committed suicide by taking sleeping pills, and her daughter also got a brain tumor. Her ex-mother-in-law thought the medical expenses were too expensive, so she threw her daughter to her. She took her daughter to see doctors everywhere and spent all the money she borrowed from her parents' home.

Now her parents' family despises her, her ex-mother-in-law refuses to see her, and she has no money to pay for her daughter's medical treatment. If she can't raise the money for surgery, her daughter will have to wait to die.

When she was at her wit's end, she was ready to die holding her daughter, but she accidentally saw the news that the eldest son of the Lu family was getting engaged to the daughter of the jeweler Zhang family.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. If it weren't for Lu Jiaming, she wouldn't have ended up like this, her family wouldn't have been broken up, she wouldn't have been scolded by her neighbors, relatives, and friends, she wouldn't have been forced to leave the house, and she wouldn't even have money to treat her daughter.

It was Lu Jiaming who harmed her, so she wanted him to use money to save her daughter. If he refused, she would die with him. This was why Sun Jing made a big fuss at Lu's house.

After Sun Jing finished speaking, Xia Beibei was silent for a while, then she knocked on the table and looked at her and said, "You killed your ex-husband."

Sun Jing was stunned and stared at her in disbelief, "You...how did you know?"

Realizing that she had said the wrong thing, Sun Jing quickly shook her head to deny it, "No, I didn't kill him. I didn't kill anyone. I didn't kill him. No..."

Xia Beibei looked into her eyes and said, "You killed him, but you didn't do it on purpose. Your ex-husband was abusing your daughter and you couldn't stop him, so you killed him."

Sun Jing originally wanted to refute, but after hearing her next words, her eyes instantly turned red, her hands clenched tightly, and her face began to look ferocious.

"Yes, I killed him, that beast. He took out all his hatred for me on my daughter. I went to see my daughter secretly that day, and he came home from get off work early. He beat me up and beat my daughter with a belt in front of me. He was so cruel. The child was so young."

Xia Beibei asked: "So, how did you feed him the sleeping pills?"

Sun Jing said: "He is an alcoholic. He drank a lot of wine that night. I fed him a lot of sleeping pills while he was asleep. I have a deep conflict with my mother-in-law. I used to suffer from insomnia because of her anger. So there were two bottles of sleeping pills at home. I fed him the remaining one and a half bottles."

Xia Beibei did not continue to ask. She turned to look at Gao Bochuan and said, "You can let Xiao Zhou and the others follow up on what happened next. She is telling the truth."

Gao Bochuan nodded, and after a brief silence, he suddenly looked up at Sun Jing and said, "Who gave you the invitation to the Lu family?"

Xia Beibei was stunned, then slapped her forehead. She actually overlooked such a crucial question. Yes, they still asked Zhou Xun for help with the invitation letter. There were two security guards checking the invitation letter at the door of Lu's house. How did Sun Jing get in?

Sun Jing did not hide this question, because she was also puzzled. She said that someone gave her the invitation letter. That day, she was going to jump into the river with her daughter in her arms. On the way, she saw the news of Lu Jiaming's engagement. She felt unbalanced and planned to find Lu Jiaming first to ask for an explanation.

She wanted to take revenge on Lu Jiaming, but she didn't know where to start. When she was at a loss, someone sent her an anonymous courier, which contained an invitation to the Lu family's cocktail party.

After Sun Jing was taken away, Gao Bochuan asked Xia Beibei, "What do you think?"

Xia Beibei pondered for a moment, frowned and said, "If the invitation in Sun Jing's hand was given by the Sun Gang, then Sun Jing's disturbance at the Lu family was arranged by them. But why did they arrange for Sun Jing to be held hostage? Lu Jiaming was killed and thrown off the building when Sun Jing was holding Mo Lin hostage. If Sun Jing's role was to provide time for the murderer to commit the crime, it makes sense, but..."

At this point, Xia Beibei paused for a moment before continuing: "The Sun Organization has always been very cautious when killing people. They wanted to kill Lu Jiaming and would not leave any clues. However, after Lu Jiaming died, Huang Can showed her face and she let me see her..."

Moreover, Lu Jiaming is 1.82 meters tall and has a sturdy build, while Huang Can is only about 1.63 meters tall without high heels. Even if she is very strong, it is impossible for her to go around the one-meter-high handrail and throw someone down, so she must have an accomplice.

This is strange. Since they have accomplices, they must have an escape route. But why didn’t Huang Can run away?

Although Huang Can was escaping through the window when she arrived, Huang Can was obviously delayed by something. So, what could be more important than escaping?
