Chapter 104: What a Thrilling Auction
During the few seconds when the bell rang, Lu Rong thought a lot.
The scenes in the interrogation room flashed through my mind quickly.
But no matter how he reviewed it, he couldn't find any omissions.
Lu Rong relaxed and picked up the phone.
The person on the other side said, "Mr. Lu, someone is trying to snatch that piece of land from us in Kowloon City District!"
Lu Rong said simply: "Add money."
As he was forcibly summoned by the police, he could not go to the auction site, so he temporarily entrusted the case to an auction house operator who was well-known in the industry.
But now it seems that the auction house operator's business ability is not very good. Is such a small matter worth calling to ask?
Lu Rong: "The budget I gave should be enough."
The operator said awkwardly: "Mr. Lu, the budget you gave me has reached the limit. The other side suddenly offered 2.4 billion. If you want it, you have to add a little more."
Lu Rong counted the money in his hand.
His budget for buying that piece of land was 2 billion. The Lu family had lost a lot of money because of Lu Qian, so he couldn't come up with more money for the time being.
Since his competitor was able to raise the price to 2.4 billion in one go, it means he must still have the upper hand.
Do you want to give up that land?
But that piece of land is right next to Kowloon Bay, facing two typhoon shelters and a ferry pier.
That geographical location is really important.
In two years, the government will definitely focus on its development. As long as we get it, we can hold on until the development is completed.
The Hong Kong government will definitely think more when dealing with him, and the mainland government will also be cautious from now on.
Can't give up.
Add it, you must add it!
"Increase it to 2.6 billion." Lu Rong said.
The words fell.
The volume in the video room was turned up to the maximum, and the police officers who were listening attentively gasped.
Although they didn't know what Lu Rong was fighting for, they sincerely hoped that Lu Rong couldn't buy what he wanted.
But 2.6 billion.
What a sky-high price.
Who else in Hong Kong can come up with so much money at once and compete with such a person?
2.6 billion is the same as 26 yuan.
·
Ask indoors.
The operator on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, but 30 seconds later, he became even more embarrassed, "Mr. Lu, there is only one bidder left now, and he bids 3.1 billion. Do you still want to follow?"
Lu Rong's forehead jumped.
There are not many people who can come up with so much cash in Hong Kong nowadays, and Gu Youming is one of them.
But the former richest man Gu Youming has already planned to withdraw from Hong Kong.
The only one left is Jian Ruochen.
Lu Rong suddenly understood why Jian Ruochen clinked glasses with him and why he said those words.
But it was too late.
At this moment, he realized that the purpose of the police summoning him was not to get anything out of him. Instead, we need to hold him back and find out the real purpose of his series of actions!
Lu Rong's breathing quickened slightly.
He held up his phone and looked at Jian Ruochen steadily: "You want to rob me? Aren't you afraid that I will raise the price?"
Jian Ruochen smiled and said, "Go ahead and lift it as high as you can. I don't have to follow you if you do. Let's see who will stop first. The land next to the Kowloon Walled City is worth fighting for."
He paused, his honey-like eyes sparkling, "But you have to think about it. If it gets to 10 billion, I can afford it, but can you?"
2.6 billion is all Lu Rong can currently come up with.
He didn't dare lift it.
The will is there, but the strength is not enough.
Lu Rong clenched his back teeth tightly, wishing he had bitten Jian Ruochen's throat.
Something that was within reach was gone just like that!
He has been taking every step carefully during this period just to grab this piece of land.
This thing is related to his future plans and whether he can connect with the mainland government.
Just like that!
Lu Rong was angry and hateful, and his heart was bleeding.
On the other end of the line, the operator was still urging: "Mr. Lu, the auctioneer has already dropped the hammer once. If you can still add more, you have to do it now."
"No need." Lu Rong hung up the phone while suppressing his anger.
He gripped the cane tightly, letting the carvings on it scratch his palms.
Jian Ruochen smiled, "Thank you."
He sat calmly in a chair opposite the interrogation room.
Thanks to the sound leakage function of the old mobile phone, which is like a senior citizen's phone, people can listen to it with gusto.
It was a truly exciting auction.
In the video room.
The police officers who were watching everything intently sighed.
In the past, when they encountered such situations, they couldn’t even understand the real situation, and even if they did, they could only swallow their anger.
"Consultant Jane is really wonderful."
"He's rich, good-looking, has a good personality, and is a good person."
"If you ask me, if you want to see the police killing people at the crime scene in Hong Kong, go to Guan Sir. If you want to see the police venting our anger in the interrogation room, you have to look at Consultant Jian!" After saying this, he did not forget to flatter Chen Jincai. He smiled and said, "When it comes to carrying guns to arrest criminals and catching fugitives, of course you have to look at Chen Sir."
Chen Jincai curled his lips, took the confession form, and pretended to hit him on the head, "Don't talk nonsense, look carefully."
Ask indoors.
Jian Ruochen said, "So you used the videotape to manipulate the bombing case to divert the police's attention, just to get this piece of land?"
He straightened his expression and asked, "What about those people who were injured in the bombing? Do you take it to heart?"
Lu Rong was so angry that his internal organs ached and his internal fire was burning, but he had to smile, "I don't know what you are talking about."
Lu Rong's lawyer stood aside. After the shock of more than 3 billion, he had already begun to consider backing out.
In this chaotic and unresolved era.
Money is power.
Money can buy everything.
He thought about his wife, his children, and everything at home. He was even afraid that if he contradicted Jian Ruochen again, he would be greeted by a group of thugs after get off work.
These rich people can do anything.
He has seen a lot in his many years in the industry.
Lu Rong is one of them.
But asking him to betray his boss is even more impossible.
Because Lu Rong is a hypocrite, he is cruel and ruthless enough.
Jian Ruochen asked a few more questions, but Lu Rong kept answering them with phrases like "I don't know" and "I've never heard of it".
He was not angry. If Lu Rong didn't say anything, he would ask again and again.
This person's face is thicker than a city wall, and his words are tougher than diamonds. If you meet such a person, you can't expect the interrogation skills to be useful. You can only drag it out and wait for the evidence.
Four hours later.
Guan Yingjun rushed back to the West Kowloon Regional Police Station in a dusty state.
A fine layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, his back was soaked, and his whole body was steaming with heat as he ran straight to the interrogation room of the serious crime squad.
Chen Jincai was taking a breath outside the recording room, holding a cigarette between the fingertips of his left hand. He had just taken a puff when he met Guan Yingjun's gaze.
He choked and started coughing madly. He pounded his chest a few times with his right hand before he recovered. He laughed and cursed: "Damn it, why are you walking without making any sound?"
Guan Yingjun glanced at the closed door of the interrogation room and asked, "Didn't I ask you to protect it?"
Chen Jincai was happy. "I protect him? You don't know how mad he makes Lu Rong. It's better for him to protect me."
As soon as he finished speaking, a muscle on the side of Guan Yingjun's neck bulged slightly.
Chen Jincai was frightened by his gaze and thought he wanted to smoke, so he handed him a cigarette, "Platinum Marlboro, sweet."
Guan Yingjun pushed it away, "I don't want to smoke anymore."
No matter how upset I am now, as long as I think of Jian Ruochen, I can calm down immediately.
He said, “I’m going to do something.”
Guan Yingjun pushed open the door of the interrogation room, pulled open the chair next to Jian Ruochen and sat down, throwing the signed confession in front of Lu Rong, "Mr. Lu, Zhuo Yawen accused you of bribing him by giving him a sports car so that he could get the execution video. What do you have to say?"
Lu Rong smiled and said, "I don't know about this. Zhuo Yawen might be desperate and is biting people randomly."
He did it very secretly. Zhuo Yawen won the car through a lottery. The procedures were very open. Their communication was very brief and no one knew the content.
Lu Rong turned to look at the lawyer, who had been silent for a long time and finally responded, "If there is evidence to prove that my client is guilty, then please appeal directly. In the absence of sufficient evidence, the police's questioning and verification time shall not exceed 8 hours. My client is leaving now."
Guan Yingjun threw a photo in front of Lu Rong: "This is Park Yongsheng. He is lying on the bed now and can't speak."
"The people who worked for Lu Qian at least did bad things voluntarily, and they were clearly wrong. But you induced the father of two children to commit a crime without knowing it."
Guan Yingjun said in a cold tone, "You are not even as good as Lu Qian."
Lu Rong slowly closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
If Jian Ruochen is the person in West Kowloon who knows how to irritate him the most, then Guan Yingjun is the one who is best at poking people in the lungs.
In his life, what he hated most was people comparing him to Lu Qian!
Lu Qian is dead, and you still want to annoy him!
Lu Rong couldn't even put on a show.
He came today to see the police officers from the West Kowloon Regional Police Station running around like headless flies.
Now he has become the one who suffers the most.
He really wanted to kill Jian Ruochen, this stumbling block.
Lu Rong limped out of the West Kowloon Regional Police Station, leaning on his cane, unable to maintain his gentlemanly demeanor.
Jian Ruochen stood in the lounge and drank five glasses of water before the feeling of dry mouth was relieved.
He had never had the chance to speak for five hours straight in his entire life, but today he finally experienced it.
Guan Yingjun took out a piece of cold candy, peeled off the candy wrapper and pressed it against Jian Ruochen's lips, "No one is here, eat quickly."
Jian Ruochen rolled up the candy with the tip of his tongue, and said in a hoarse voice, "What's going on with Zhuo Yawen? Is the building bombing case closed?"
"The building bombing case has not been concluded yet, but Zhuo Yawen is very cooperative." Guan Yingjun filled the thermos with warm water, soaked some mint, and told him everything as he walked towards the office.
It turned out that when Zhuo Yawen's daughter accidentally won the sports car, Zhuo Yawen did not know that it was a "gift" specially prepared for him by Lu Rong.
After he had shown off the sports car for a few days, taken his daughter out to play, and was even photographed by Hong Kong media and published in newspapers, Lu Rong found an opportunity to meet him and told him the origin of the car.
Guan Yingjun led Jian Ruochen into the single-person office, closed the door, sat down next to him on the small sofa, and whispered, "Lu Rong threatened Zhuo Yawen with corruption and bribery to help him get the video of Lu Qian's execution, using the excuse that he wanted to see how his enemy died."
"Lu Qian and Lu Rong have a bad relationship, and everyone in Hong Kong knows it. Zhuo Yawen believed it, and agreed to help Lu Rong in order to keep things quiet."
Jian Ruochen chewed the mint candy into pieces, "What about the building bombing case? He didn't know about it either?"
"He claimed he had no knowledge of the matter," Guan Yingjun said. "Zhuo Yawen said Lu Rong contacted him and told him that the videotape had been accidentally leaked and had been viewed by the West Kowloon Regional Police Station. He also claimed he could help him resolve everything. Zhuo Yawen agreed. He didn't know he would harm so many people."
Guan Yingjun said, pulling out a videotape: "I'm not good at lie detection, so I copied a videotape of the interrogation of Zhuo Yawen. Liu Qishang asked me to bring it back for you to see."
"Play it." Jian Ruochen leaned back on the small sofa and watched a videotape intently.
Guan Yingjun's interrogation and questioning style was unique, very strict and oppressive, and frightened the director several times.
Jian Ruochen touched his lips and said, "He didn't lie."
Zhuo Yawen didn't know that he would hurt others.
Park Yong-seung didn't know that his action would cause so many families to be broken up and cause his daughter to have her limbs amputated.
They were all blinded by the small temptations and difficulties in life and listened to the devil's temptations.
Lu Rong took advantage of people's hearts and controlled everything.
He caused so many people to die and changed the trajectory of their beautiful lives, but he could confidently say to all the police officers: I don’t know.
Jian Ruochen lowered his eyes, feeling that snatching what Lu Rong had in front of him was still too light.
It would be great if Lu Rong could be brought to justice.
Unfortunately, he was too cunning and didn't leave any evidence.
The unilateral testimony of a witness cannot be used as evidence for prosecution.
He was now almost certain that the death of "Jian Ruochen's mother" was not simple.
No matter whether it was caused by Lu Jingchen or Lu Rong, he had to find out, otherwise he would be sorry for the woman who gave birth to this body.
Even an iron man cannot endure the high level of concentration for five hours.
Jian Ruochen thought for a while and fell asleep leaning against Guan Yingjun.
Guan Yingjun raised his eyes slightly.
Look at the closed office door in front of you.
He hopes that one day he can open this door and let everyone understand what their relationship is.
This way, Chen Jincai wouldn't say things like "It would be better if he came to protect me."
The friends in the police station are very tactful and will not make jokes about their friends’ partners.
But Guan Yingjun understood that it was too early.
Jian Ruochen's career and life have just started. He doesn't want anyone in the police station to gossip about Jian Ruochen. At least he has to wait until Jian Ruochen becomes a senior inspector...
Or become a Governor.
Guan Yingjun touched Jian Ruochen's face, rubbed it twice with his thumb, then picked him up and laid him flat, helped him take off his shoes, and covered him with a small blanket. He then took Jian Ruochen's cell phone to report safety to Butler Luo, and then sat aside to sort out the files on the building bombing case.
Zhuo Yawen and Park Yongsheng are both very cooperative, which is a good thing.
However, the real culprit who placed the gas tank and detonated the building has not been found yet. This real culprit may have solid evidence that Lu Rong was involved in the case.
Even if we don't investigate the real culprit in the building bombing case, we must find the person who helped Jiang Hanyu criticize the reactionary society.
He got all the information about professors and school leaders of Hong Kong University.
It takes some time to finish reading.
You can't let Jian Ruochen look at them one by one, his eyes can't take it.
