Chapter 312: Shut Up for the Money
Captain Su and Fu Chengfeng, who were called back to the bureau to work overtime in the middle of the night, were so resentful that they could support dozens of evil sword immortals.
The two men sat down with long faces, their noses not noses and eyes not eyes, waiting for the director to speak.
"The real culprit of the arson case seems to have been found." The director did not tolerate them at all. He picked up the mouse and clicked, projecting the evidence onto the big screen.
All the members of the serious crime squad were instantly excited.
They investigated for two years and barely found a few clues. But the goddess took action and the real culprit was found in less than ten days.
Are they going to be allowed to live?
"He hid it so well." Captain Su wiped his face vigorously after reviewing the evidence and muttered, "Without any interests involved, what was his purpose in committing the crime?"
No wonder Xie Jiang asked them to just monitor and not act rashly for the time being.
The dog was found, as was the owner, but there was insufficient motive for the attack and other evidence to make a formal arrest.
"Re-check all the interpersonal relationships of all the elderly people who died in the fire." The director had seen the evidence before they came, and he also couldn't figure out the murderer's motive.
When the fire broke out, the elderly people living in that row of townhouses were all taking a lunch break. It was summer, and only three of the seriously injured elderly people survived.
The nursing home lost a lot of money because of this.
The murderer instigated Border Collie to set fire, but he did not receive a penny of compensation or any other benefits afterwards. It is very likely that he was simply seeking revenge.
The serious crime squad was extremely busy, but Xie Jiang, the hero, slept soundly and had a good night's sleep.
She didn't have many scenes left, so she filmed for four days straight before officially wrapping up.
Xie Jiang said goodbye to the crew and returned to the hotel to pack his luggage and send Wang Yao off. Then Sister Wu called. When he answered, he heard a lion roar. "I've got a notice for the college basketball league for you. You'll only be there for half a day. I'll send you the details right away."
"You know how to take advantage of every opportunity." Xie Jiang couldn't help rolling his eyes.
"Three million for three hours, you're making a killing, okay?" Sister Wu cursed. "Others don't get such high appearance fees."
Xie Jiang: Shut up for the money.
After finishing the call with Sister Wu, Zhou Yunyu called unexpectedly.
She got in the car sent by the housekeeper of her eldest brother's villa and answered the call casually.
"I'm at Big Brother's villa, making dinner and waiting for you to come back." Zhou Yunyu's voice, a smile on her face, filled her ears. "I'll cook it myself. If you want to eat something else, we can go to a restaurant together tomorrow."
Xie Jiang's eyes lit up, and the smile on his face widened unconsciously, "I just got in the car, and it will take an hour to get home."
Zhou Yunyu's cooking is more to her liking than eating out.
Jiang Shuo's villa is at the foot of Lishan Mountain.
This area is a famous gathering place for luxury homes in Haicheng. There are many single villas with a total price of over 500 million yuan, and there are also many that exceed 1 billion yuan.
The Ji family and the Fu family are both in this area.
It’s just that the luxury homes in Lishan are valued for their height.
The luxury houses at the foot of the mountain can only be considered ordinary luxury houses. Those who live halfway up the mountain are basically the local wealthy families of Haicheng, and those above halfway up the mountain are the top wealthy families.
Of course, the most expensive one is the military compound on the other side of the mountain.
Xie Jiang dozed off in a daze, and when he woke up, the car just stopped in front of the villa.
After getting out of the car, Zhou Yunyu came out from the kitchen wearing an apron and holding a plate of food in his hand, looking like a warm and homely man.
"Go wash your hands quickly. I made shredded chicken, boiled pork slices, and stir-fried squid and lobster tonight." Zhou Yunyu put down the broccoli with oyster sauce in her hand, a smile in her eyes. "I'll make you some milk tea after dinner."
He arrived in Haicheng last night, but didn't go to the crew in order not to disturb her filming.
"These are all my favorite foods. I'll be there soon." Xie Jiang swallowed and quickly ran to wash his hands.
I originally planned to ask Chen Yang out for dinner in the evening, but I didn’t expect Zhou Yunyu to come to Haicheng early. The food he cooked was much better than what we had outside.
For example, she doesn’t like Sichuan peppercorns in boiled pork slices, so Zhou Yunyu doesn’t put any in it.
After washing their hands and sitting down, Zhou Yunyu served Xie Jiang a bowl of soup and said casually, "Saturday night, the Ji family's old man is celebrating his 80th birthday. I've been invited to attend. Can you be my female companion?"
Ji Shuyan sent an invitation to his sister. Even if he didn't invite his sister, she would still go to celebrate his birthday.
"Sure." Xie Jiang ate contentedly, his eyes narrowed slightly, "It's just right for the people in Haicheng's wealthy circle to think that I'm just your appendage, a second-rate female star."
The police station has been notified.
On the day of the old man of the Ji family’s 80th birthday, the entire criminal police team was dispatched, and the special police team provided support in secret, striving to earn a whole year’s KPI in one night.
The old wealthy families have many dirty deeds, and the Ji family of Haicheng is one of the best.
The old lady who cheated on her husband, the old man who had his mistress take over, the eldest son who cheated on his wife and was promiscuous, the second uncle who committed academic fraud, and the third uncle who criticized and coerced others.
There is no one in the whole family who has a black background, except for Ji Shuyan and his four brothers and sisters.
"Is there a case?" Zhou Yunyu saw the murderous intent in her eyes and unconsciously raised the corners of his lips. "I brought the dress. Wang Yi will help you style it. The birthday banquet will be held at the Ji family's old house. I will prepare the gifts."
"The Ji family is dishonest and has offended me." Xie Jiang paused, a look of displeasure on his face. "The last time I went to Haida to watch a basketball game, someone from the Ji family bought a trending search, saying that Ji Shuyan and I were dating."
She removed the trending search herself and checked the people who bought it.
Ji Shuyan also wanted to send those people to jail, but he was a member of the Ji family after all. It would not be worth it if he really angered the old man to death.
If someone outside called the police, the old man would at most be angry, but he wouldn't be angry to death.
If a family member betrays you, you will die without a burial place.
"My invitation was sent by Mr. Ji himself. He hired someone to start a company and plans to enter the artificial intelligence market and suppress Ji Shuyan's company." Zhou Yunyu said in a deep voice, "When the time comes, we'll capture as many people as we can."
The anger on Xie Jiang's face disappeared and he nodded happily.
I successfully ate a lot at dinner.
I had no choice but to drag Zhou Yunyu to accompany her for a walk to help digest the food.
After walking around the garden twice, Xie Jiang felt a little better in his stomach and asked him about his plans for tomorrow.
They all have to go to Haicheng Police Station tomorrow.
"I have nothing to do in the morning. You can go wherever you want." Zhou Yunyu lowered his eyes, his affectionate gaze tracing every inch of her delicate face, and the corners of his lips curled up. "I drew a food map of Haicheng. We can go and try it together."
"That's great. Let's go see the cats after breakfast." Xie Jiang smiled. "I saw a very detailed introduction on their official account. There are so many beautiful cats."
Purebred cats are basically adopted as soon as they are released.
Most of the cats that stayed were farm cats.
Cat watching is not the goal.
She has to meet the murderer and find out his motive for arson and murder.
Almost all the key evidence has been obtained, but the loop cannot be closed. The old man who impersonated the identity did not show any abnormality during this period.
No outsiders visited him.
After the matter was settled, Xie Jiang felt sleepy and couldn't help yawning loudly, dragging Zhou Yunyu back.
She stayed up all night for two days in a row and was exhausted.
I went back to my room, washed up, and fell into bed, falling asleep almost instantly.
-
The stray animal shelter run by the arson suspect is located in the suburbs of Haicheng.
Xie Jiang disguised herself and also put some makeup on Zhou Yunyu to reduce her appearance. She changed into an ordinary sweatshirt and drove over in the domestic car in the garage.
It takes two hours to drive from Lishan to the shelter.
When they arrived, someone came to pick up a cat. The two followed the couple and asked about the adoption matters with an attitude of humility.
"Their adoption procedures are very formal. They don't need to make frequent follow-up visits after adoption. They just send videos occasionally." The little girl smiled broadly, her face full of longing. "I've made seven or eight appointments, but I never had the time."
Xie Jiang blinked, pretending to be confused. "We came directly without an appointment. Can we still adopt?"
"No, you can only adopt one if you make an appointment in advance." The girl's face showed sympathy. "But since you are here, you can choose a cat first, and then make an appointment to adopt it."
Xie Jiang thanked him politely.
When the suspect entered the cat house of the shelter, he came out with a lollipop in his mouth and a bright smile.
She read the other party's message immediately, saw the red part, subconsciously pulled Zhou Yunyu down, and went to see the cat first.
The real culprit of the Lishan Sanatorium arson case was indeed the operator of this stray animal shelter, a damn gambler.
After patiently waiting for the couple to complete the adoption procedures and take the cat away, Xie Jiang put on his Bluetooth headset and sent a message to the plainclothes officer who was monitoring the suspect.
"Are you two looking to adopt a cat or a dog?" the man walked over with a smile and enthusiastically introduced the cats. "All our cats are dewormed and fully vaccinated, but most of them are farm cats, and we have a wider variety of dogs."
"Do you have a Border Collie?" Xie Jiang stepped forward, blocking Zhou Yunyu behind him, and smiled faintly, "A Golden Retriever or a German Shepherd will do."
The man's pupils shrank, and he smiled bitterly, "There are no Border Collies or German Shepherds, only Golden Retrievers and other breeds of dogs."
Xie Jiang said "oh", and an adult Border Collie suddenly rushed out and circled around the suspect.
She recognized at a glance that this was the Border Collie that committed the crime, and turned her head to signal Zhou Yunyu to be careful.
People are easy to deal with, but dogs are not.
