“Some of the things he wrote down don’t match,” the detective said, looking at her.
However, Su Ziqing was wearing sunglasses, so he couldn't see her eyes at all.
Su Ziqing remained calm, her lips twitching slightly. "What doesn't match?"
In fact, when Su Ziqing heard the detective say that it was good, she clenched her hands tightly under the table. It didn't match up, which meant that it was made up.
News stories based entirely on fabricated images were not common more than a decade ago. Back then, most news reports were factual, stating exactly what happened.
In the era of traditional print media, where even typos were rigorously checked, he now says it doesn't fit?
Su Ziqing's first thought was to bribe, not to write something random to fill space...
Sure enough, the detective's next words confirmed her suspicions.
“The car accident was an accident, but the brakes were tampered with.” The detective looked at Su Ziqing. “But as you can see from the reports, it’s written that the accident was caused purely by the other party’s high speed and the slippery conditions in the rain.”
"The brakes have been tampered with?" Su Ziqing kept her head clear. "The police should have a record of this."
The detective shook his head. "The most amazing thing is that the police have no record of it."
Su Ziqing's pupils contracted slightly. "What did you say?"
“Ms. Su, I don’t know why, but the police records from back then didn’t mention any brake problems. The reason I knew there was a problem with the brakes was because I was drunk when I approached that reporter that day.”
“He has already left the newspaper. Perhaps it was Mr. Su’s incident that reminded him of this matter, or perhaps it was because he had been tormented by false reports for so many years. When I found him that day, he seemed to have already expected it.”
It was as if they were criminals who had been waiting for their arrest.
Sometimes, self-torture can be even more painful.
Su Ziqing remained silent, so the detective continued, "He said that Mr. Su Tianhao instructed him to write it that way. He showed the original manuscript to Mr. Su Tianhao, but Mr. Su Tianhao stopped him."
Su Ziqing felt that she was having some difficulty breathing.
"Then I did some investigation and found that the person who handled your parents' funeral was Mr. Su Tianming."
Su Ziqing's face was extremely pale, and some forgotten memories seemed to suddenly become clear again.
When a person suffers a great blow, the brain will form a self-protection mechanism. After Su Ziqing suddenly encountered her parents' misfortune, she developed a high fever and later had a period of memory loss.
She only remembered that her parents had an accident, which deeply affected her grandfather, who also fell ill for a long time.
The investigation into the accident and the handling of the funeral arrangements were all done by other members of the Su family.
Before her mother passed away, the Su family treated her very well and had not yet revealed their treacherous intentions.
The Su family also seemed to be in a very harmonious state.
All the falling out happened after her mother's death, when people started to hate and ostracize her because of her reputation as a "jinx."
I didn't think anything was wrong with all of this before, but now that I think about it, maybe it was all a setup from the beginning?
"Miss Su?" Seeing Su Ziqing in a daze, the detective called her again.
Su Zi snapped out of her reverie and hummed in agreement, indicating that she was listening.
"Should we continue the investigation?" the detective asked again.
"Investigate." Why not investigate? We must investigate thoroughly.
Brakes malfunction...
Why can't such a big problem be investigated?
“Okay.” The detective nodded. “Then you’ll need to give me a little more time. You know, this happened a long time ago…”
Su Ziqing completely ignored the detective's nonsense and directly took out a check from her bag and handed it to him, saying, "This is for your hard work."
The detective immediately became serious. "Ms. Su, you've already paid part of the fee, the rest..."
“It’s been so many years, it’s definitely not an easy case to investigate. I understand that we need to make some connections and take care of things,” Su Ziqing interrupted the detective. “But I still want to say, keep it discreet.”
So as not to disturb the snake by disturbing the grass.
The detective nodded. "I understand, Miss Su. All investigations will be conducted very carefully."
"You go ahead and get busy." Su Ziqing wanted to be alone for a while.
After the detective left, Su Ziqing sat alone in the coffee shop for a long time.
Later, she got up and left.
When Gong Chengjue arrived in City A, he found that Su Ziqing's phone was still switched off and he could not contact her at all.
She was nowhere to be seen, neither at her home nor at her company.
When Su Tianhao saw Gong Chengjue in the company, he thought he was seeing things. "Mr. Gong?" Why is he in the company?
"Hmm." Gong Chengjue looked at Su Tianhao. Although he was worried about Su Ziqing and wanted to ask if she had returned, he certainly wouldn't ask her directly.
Instead, he said casually, "I just happened to be passing by and came across Ziqing. Is she there?"
"Ziqing?" Su Tianhao asked, puzzled. "Ziqing is in the capital."
Gong Chengjue glanced at him. "Is that so?"
“Yes, she’s been in charge of the branch office and hasn’t been back to City A for a while. Mr. Gong… didn’t you know?” Su Tianhao couldn’t help but imagine.
Did he and Su Ziqing have another fight after the engagement issue?
Considering Su Ziqing's personality, it wasn't impossible, and Su Tianhao became somewhat anxious.
We can't live without this big tree; we need a big tree to enjoy the shade.
Recently, all of the Su family's projects have been progressing smoothly, and quite a few of them are indeed thanks to the Gong family.
Gong Chengjue only said one sentence, "I'm away on a business trip these past few days."
"Since she's not here, I'll be leaving now." Gong Chengjue didn't intend to stay any longer. It seemed that Su Ziqing hadn't met with Su Tianhao even after returning.
Su Tianhao smiled apologetically, "I'll see you off."
Gong Chengjue didn't say much.
Su Tianhao hesitated before speaking, "Mr. Gong, Ziqing is a bit stubborn. If she does anything to upset you..."
Gong Chengjue gave him a cold glance.
Su Tianhao then shut up. Oh right, he almost forgot, Gong Chengjue didn't like the Su family members belittling Su Ziqing.
"What I mean is, it's common for young people to bicker and argue. As for girls, Mr. Gong, you..." Su Tianhao swallowed the words "please coax her more" that were on the tip of his tongue.
The disparity in their abilities was already enormous; did they really expect Mr. Gong to coax Su Ziqing?
"Hehe." Su Tianhao could only force a smile.
Gong Chengjue understood what he meant and replied, "You're right."
"Huh?" Su Tianhao thought he would be unhappy, but it turned out to be exactly what he said?
The elevator doors opened, and Gong Chengjue stepped inside. "I made her angry. Mr. Su, when you see Ziqing, please put in a good word for me."
"That's right, that's right." Su Tianhao felt that Gong Chengjue seemed to have suddenly lowered his status and was being so easy to talk to?
"Mr. Su, please wait." Gong Chengjue did not let Su Tianhao see him off.
