Chapter 104: Chapter 104: The Testimony of the Ancestor
Song Taishan thought that perhaps things weren’t so strange, maybe Jiangli really did witness a car accident.
So he asked, “You’re really a witness, then why didn’t you come forward when the police were looking for witnesses everywhere? Also, Jiaoyang Temple is quite far from here, and it’s not even on the way, is it?”
“I happened to see it when I was out on an errand, I was in a hurry to take care of my affairs, in another car, and I left directly, Afterward, I went out of town, and I just got back. When I heard about the incident, I came over,” Jiangli said without blinking.
Not to mention Song Taishan, even Zhang Meijuan and Qiang Hongtao were baffled by her story.
If they hadn’t known that Jiangli had gotten the information from their side before, they would have thought Jiangli was a real witness.
Song Taishan momentarily put aside his prejudices and patiently asked, “Then tell me, did you see the driver who caused the accident at the time?”
“I did,” Jiangli straightforwardly said, “And I think he wasn’t just a driver who caused an accident, he deliberately crashed into another car, and after the crash, he even got out to check on the other party, probably to make sure that person would die, only then did he drive away.”
Hearing the details she provided, Song Taishan’s brows furrowed again, and he asked scrutinizingly, “…You really just caught a glimpse of it, with just one look?”
Why did he feel like Jiangli described it so vividly it was as if she had watched it happen?
However, Jiangli remained unfazed and said, “Yes, I just took a look. I was sitting in another car, sensed something was wrong, and turned back to look a few more times.”
Song Taishan: “……Okay then, do you remember what the driver who caused the accident looked like?”
“I do,” Jiangli said. “He’s from Chengtian Group. I had a brief encounter with people from Chengtian Group before. He’s one of their bodyguards, with a black birthmark on his left cheek, near the entrance of the ear.”
Song Taishan became skeptical again.
He fixed his gaze on Jiangli.
What information had Jiangli not seen?
This is called taking one look from inside a car?
This detail, it doesn’t look at all like a witness, but more like someone who experienced it.
Song Taishan couldn’t help but ask, “You’re the abbot of Jiaoyang Temple, right? What exactly is going on here? Where did you see this from?”
“In any case, I just saw it.” Jiangli said, smiling with an implication, “Besides, I think you might not want to know where I saw it from, as long as your Governor’s Office can come up with an explanation that makes sense to the public, isn’t that enough?”
Where was this person from?
Song Taishan felt somewhat overwhelmed, but Jiangli made sense.
Just as Jiangli said, if she came out with some bizarre explanation, they wouldn’t be able to present it to the public.
They still needed to find an explanation that would pass muster.
Jiangli seemed rather considerate.
She had already found the explanations for them.
Song Taishan felt very conflicted but confirmed, “You’re sure it’s someone from Chengtian Group?”
Jiangli nodded, “Yes, they seem to be business rivals with the victim’s company, it’s business-related, you can go check.”
Song Taishan stared intently at Jiangli, recalling the construction site case he uncovered today, yet he chose to trust Jiangli.
He turned to the people beside him and ordered, “Go check the bodyguard staff of Chengtian Group, look for someone with a birthmark near the ear on the left cheek; he might have resigned already, try to check the surveillance and personnel records of Chengtian Group.”
A colleague acknowledged the command with a “yes” and immediately went to check.
