286: Chapter 84: First, Let’s Put Aside the Conclusive Facts 286: Chapter 84: First, Let’s Put Aside the Conclusive Facts Just as the two were about to continue exchanging pleasantries, they saw Mumu led past them by the police.
Wang Yunxiao blinked, “Is that…
Li Mumu felt darkness before her eyes.
Dad, can you not ruin my persona, please?
Mu Yuming also noticed Wang Yunxiao and Li Mumu standing together, his brows furrowed slightly, he adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and said to the officer next to him, “Excuse me, my daughter is over there, I’d like to go and have a word with her.”
The cop who brought him was Captain Gao’s subordinate and recognized Wang Yunxiao.
Seeing him standing with Li Mumu, he instantly misunderstood and turned to Mu Yuming, “We can talk about it back at the station.”
Mu Yuming was also confused.
You’re taking my daughter too?
It surely couldn’t be something related to my side, so that means…
Mu Yuming glared at Wang Yunxiao.
What have you been doing here with my daughter?
The three of them stood there, each staring at the other, and no one spoke for a moment.
“Let me just confirm once again, Mr.
Mu is a real estate developer?”
“Li Mumu is your daughter?
Your biological daughter has the surname Li?”
“The deceased came to extort you and then was shot at the window?”
In the police station, Captain Gao looked over the notes in his hand, his lips twitching slightly at the three people in front of him.
“Wang Yunxiao, do you know who you hit?”
“Do you know who fired the gun?”
did you know beforehand that Li Mumu was Boss Mu’s daughter?”
Wang Yunxiao was completely confused by Captain Gao’s questions, “Captain, what do you mean?
I got involved because some guys were beating up the neighbors for no reason, and I went to help out.
All the neighbors can vouch for me.
Whether Boss Mu fired a gun or someone died has nothing to do with me, right?
These are two separate things!”
“No, no, no, don’t speak, let me sort this out.”
Massaging his temples, Captain Gao’s brows were knit tight.
“We’ve basically figured out the situation at the scene, but now there’s a problem.
You see, if we disregard the actual conclusion, on one side, there’s a real estate developer and a loafer with a questionable relationship with his daughter.
On the other side, there are citizens mourning at home, and now there’s been a serious death and injury…”
“What questionable relationship?
And why are we disregarding the actual conclusion?”
Wang Yunxiao was astounded by Captain Gao’s audacious statements.
He needed to keep his identity secret, which is why he had stayed to give a statement, reassuring Mu Yuming on the way that it would be fine, that he knew the station, that they were all his buddies!
And after three hours of questioning, you’re telling me to disregard the facts?
Taking private revenge under the guise of public duty?
“Don’t get excited, those weren’t my words.”
Gao Shan put down the file and glared at Wang Yunxiao, then turned to look at Mu Yuming, “Mr.
Mu, the victim’s relatives came over just now, and they brought a famous old lawyer from the former dynasty.
In their mouths, the situation has changed again, so I need to reconfirm these issues with you.”
“The victim’s family member?
You mean the old Taoist’s family?”
“Yes, he claims to be the victim’s nephew.”
“Then this person is indeed very well-informed.”
Mu Yuming adjusted his glasses calmly and said, “Indeed, if we set aside the factual conclusions and simply view it from the perspective of an outsider unaware of the truth, there are many aspects of this case that warrant further speculation.
However, Officer Gao, as I have only recently returned from abroad, I am not too familiar with the new government’s policies…”
“We should discuss the matter at hand.
Nowadays, do police investigations not focus on actual evidence and the importance of confidentiality, with just anyone’s words potentially affecting the investigation?”
Of course not, Wang Yunxiao thought, Gao Shan is just a greenhorn; he hasn’t worn the uniform much longer than I have.
“Of course not, so that’s why I came to discuss with you and obtain more information.”
Gao Shan shook his head and said, “Mr.
Mu, I’d like you to think back carefully.
Since your return to the country, have you had any grievances or feuds with any person or power?
For example, the project you are currently contracting, do you have any competitors?”
“No, the expansion project for Qinghe Middle School was agreed upon directly with the school authorities, without involving a third party.
Also, Officer Gao, I want to remind you of a detail.”
Mu Yuming said with a grave tone, “Even I did not know that my daughter was coming to school today and then got involved in this incident.
We did not recognize each other on the street, and from beginning to end, no one knew about the father-daughter relationship between Li Mumu and me, except for the record in your hands.”
“In other words, the only way the so-called family member of the victim could have made such a claim, connecting me and Mumu, is if he had seen this record before he came.”
But that’s not the only possibility.
Mu Yuming didn’t say it, but Wang Yunxiao thought of it.
There could have been a third party at the scene.
It was certain that the Special Service Bureau was aware of the father-daughter relationship between Mu Yuming and Li Mumu.
Whoever was pulling the strings behind the scenes was very shrewd; it was an operation that felt cringeworthy to witness.
He gave Gao Shan a subtle glance.
Without showing agreement or disagreement, Gao Shan nodded and extended his hand to Mu Yuming, “Mr.
The information you provided is valuable.
I will report it to the leadership immediately.
Please go to the next room with your daughter and rest for a while.”
Wang Yunxiao raised an eyebrow and asked, “What about me?”
“Behave yourself, I have questions for you!”
After sending away Mu Yuming and his daughter, Gao Shan came back frowning and said, “This Boss Mu is not simple.”
Is there a problem with him?”
Wang Yunxiao really despised Gao Shan’s naivety, but he had been cooperating with him half-truthfully just now.
“The issue he raised, Director Qin has also considered it.
There might be a mole in the bureau; that will have to be investigated slowly, it’s not urgent.
But this Boss Mu, there’s one thing he hasn’t honestly explained from the beginning—where did he get so much money?”
His wealth’s unexplained origin?
Wang Yunxiao, who had been in the bureau, was not very sensitive to this issue, or perhaps he was dazzled by the generosity of the rich matrons and completely overlooked this aspect.
Why would a real rich heiress need to attend Qinghe Middle School?
And make donations, acting like a living Bodhisattva.
Where there’s something abnormal, there’s a devil at work!
It wasn’t strange for Wang Yunxiao that Mu Yuming got the project; he knew Mu Yuming had spoken with Principal Zhou at the school, bringing Jiang Yinyin along.
Getting approval from Principal Zhou suggested there were no issues with him.
The problem was with the money.
Did his family really have that much money?
Thinking back to the first time he visited Li Mumu’s home, seeing her eating noodles with garlic, Wang Yunxiao’s heart skipped a beat.
Wasn’t this young lady a bit too down to earth?
