Chapter 757: A Little Too Arrogant, Aren’t You?
Changrong’s suicide incident was not something Sheng Kai had expected.
He had just taken over the CEO’s position and there was already such a scandal. It made it very difficult for him to do public relations. For this, he could not understand why Jin Bo got him to join Changrong. There were so many scandals. This even attracted the attention of the criminal police. Did Godfather want him to make money or not?
For this, Sheng Kai called Jin Bo. “Godfather... you already know about the employee committing suicide, right?”
“If an employee wants to commit suicide, why don’t you just relax the benefits and shorten the working hours? They must be under too much pressure at work. That’s why they’re like this.” Jin Bo maintained his usual kind tone and lectured Sheng Kai.
“Godfather, I still don’t quite understand why you want me to take over Changrong.”
“You just have to do it honestly and properly deal with the police. It’s a suicide anyway, and it has nothing to do with you. You just have to conduct your public relations well. When this matter is over, my gift to you will almost be in your hands. You just have to wait. If there’s nothing else, I’m still busy, so I’ll hang up,” Jin Bo said and hung up on Sheng Kai.
Sheng Kai put away his phone. He really didn’t understand, but he could only do as Jin Bo said.
Sometimes you can’t turn back once you’ve taken a step forward.
..
At ten o’clock at night, Tang Yan went out to the field with Old Cheng and Senior Brother Long. The two yawned and asked Tang Yan, “Captain Tang, why so late?”
“If it weren’t for your lack of field work, we would have been able to have a comfortable meeting in the branch office now, and we wouldn’t need to go to the crime scene anymore.”
Tang Yan looked at the photos taken by the few of them and said, “Since there are similarities with the previous cases, why are you still so careless?”
Old Cheng and Tang Yan looked at each other and didn’t say anything.
If they were as careful as Tang Yan, they would be at a much higher position than they were at now.
“Are you really worse than Mu Qiqi?”
The two coughed lightly. They were familiar with Changrong’s entrance guard. It was already after working hours, so there was no one in Changrong except for the guard.
“Officer, didn’t you come here during the day?”
“We don’t have time to investigate completely. In order to find the real murderer as soon as possible, please cooperate. Where is Changrong’s person-in-charge?”
After Tang Yan said this to the guard, he turned to ask Old Cheng. He meant Sheng Kai.
“Wait in the office,” Old Cheng answered.
“Go to the scene first and then meet him,” Tang Yan instructed.
“No... Go to see him first? He’s still waiting...” Old Cheng thought that Captain Tang really didn’t care about him at all.
“Let him wait,” Tang Yan answered as he took out his gloves and put them on. “Lead the way...”
The two of them didn’t object to their boss’ instructions and quickly walked in front. Since they wanted to see the crime scene first, they headed to the staff’s dormitory.
It was the same. She took medicine, died in the bathtub, and left a suicide note.
“Tell me, what are the similarities with the previous case?” Tang Yan asked Old Cheng as he surveyed the scene.
“In the previous case, Professor Tang and Qiqi found out the deceased had just got manicure done before the suicide, and had also searched on the computer for a guide to traveling abroad. Most importantly, the deceased’s home, which was the first crime scene, was spotless, cleaned to the point that even the deceased’s fingerprints were gone.”
“What about this time?”
Of course, Tang Yan knew. He picked up the case and found a business card under the bed of the deceased.
“This girl is the same. The day before yesterday, she had an appointment with a friend to go to the movies. She also had a reservation on the weekend to get her hair done. Although she didn’t have any plans to travel abroad, she bought a train ticket home. I heard that her mother is sick.”
“Also, the room is unusually clean, similar to the first case.”
After listening, Tang Yan took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to the two of them. “Old Cheng, look around carefully. See if there’s any information related to this card in this room. Xiao Long and I will meet Sheng Kai.”
Old Cheng took the business card and nodded. “Sure thing, Captain Tang.”
When Tang Yan turned around, he covered his wound, which attracted Officer Long’s attention.
“Captain Tang, your injury isn’t light, is it?” Officer Long noticed that his left abdomen was wrapped in bandages with blood stains. “Is that a gunshot wound or a stab wound?”
“It has nothing to do with you. Don’t tell anyone else,” Tang Yan said indifferently.
“It’s never a good thing for the relevant departments to send you out.” Officer Long rolled his eyes. This person was injured after he came back from a mission. He must have been executing a big case.
Soon, the two arrived at Sheng Kai’s office. At that moment, Cheng Bin was accompanying Sheng Kai as he waited in the office.
Tang Yan knocked on the door. “President Sheng, is it convenient to talk?”
Cheng Bin was very nervous when he heard his voice. Sheng Kai reminded him to stay calm.
Cheng Bin nodded, got up, and opened the door to lead Tang Yan into the office.
“I really didn’t expect you to become President Sheng’s assistant.” Tang Yan looked at Cheng Bin, his words bearing a hidden meaning.
“It’s just to support my family.” Cheng Bin’s face remained indifferent. “Captain Tang, please take a seat.”
“It’s alright. I just want to say a few words to President Sheng.” Tang Yan took the documents and looked at Sheng Kai. “I don’t know why President Sheng wants to be in this position. It’s probably because it’s easier to earn Changrong’s money. Anyway, I’m here to enlighten you. Since the Major Crimes Department has taken over this case, you should know what it means, right?”
“President Sheng, please arrange for the relevant personnel to speak to the police as soon as possible in light of the previous three suicide cases.”
After listening to Tang Yan’s words, Sheng Kai put down the teacup in his hand and smiled. “I heard from the guard downstairs that you had arrived a long time ago, but deliberately made me wait for so long. I wonder what I did to offend you.”
“President Sheng, I’ve just come back and haven’t had the time to inspect the scene yet. My men didn’t do a good job, so I needed to inspect the scene personally to be at ease. Therefore, it’s my fault for making you wait.” Tang Yan looked at Sheng Kai, his tone in neither a servile nor overbearing manner.
“You’re just a captain of the criminal police force. Aren’t you being a little too arrogant? This is just a simple suicide case. Is your police force so lacking in performance?”
“Maintaining the public order is our duty,” Tang Yan answered firmly. “Previously, Zhongteng cooperated with us well and according to the law during their emergency, but Changrong is unable to do the same?”
Sheng Kai almost choked.
“Moreover, you don’t seem to want me to continue investigating. Don’t you want the police to investigate the case as soon as possible to clear Changrong’s name? You have a very different way of thinking which is unlike ordinary people.”
