Chapter 552: Don't be too greedy
Ma Baoshan kept staring at Li Qing with a peek, and when he suddenly asked, he hurriedly replied: "The time of death was at one o'clock yesterday afternoon." β
Li Qing asked again: "How did you die?"
"The preliminary judgment is that he was strangled from behind with a belt. Ma Baoshan said, "The autopsy report has not yet come out, and it is estimated that it will have to wait for two days." β
"Strangled by a belt?" Li Qing repeated, his eyes full of confusion.
Ma Baoshan glanced at Li Qing: "The murderer has a lot of strength and directly strangles Chen Hongming's throat. I have seen his body, and when he died, his expression was very hideous, I don't know if it was because of pain or some kind of shock. The strangest thing is that the door lock is intact, there is not the slightest sign of struggle in the room, and no one hears any sound. β
Li Qing's brows furrowed tightly: "Isn't there any monitoring?"
"Yes, yes, but 20 minutes before Chen Hongming's death, the area where the detention center is located suddenly lost power. After the power supply was restored, the police saw Chen Hongming lying on the ground through surveillance. I hurriedly sent someone to see it, only to find that the person was dead. β
"That is, someone deliberately cut off the power supply..."Li Qing's eyes were slightly heavy, and he glanced at Ma Baoshan casually, and his face instantly turned cold: "Director Ma, are you suspicious of me?"
"No, no, no. Ma Baoshan waved his hand again and again and laughed dryly, "The head of the Li family laughed, how could I have that kind of thought." β
Li Qing pursed his lips: "Whether you have it or not, I can tell you directly, Chen Hongming's death has nothing to do with me." It's true that I hate him, but my parents' affairs haven't been clarified yet, do you think I'll let a guy who knows the inside story die at such a time? Besides, such a happy death is too cheap for him. β
"Yes, yes!" Ma Baoshan replied in a loud voice, "By the way, Master Li, Hall Chief Zhong has already instructed, I have prepared the files you want, and you can consult them at any time." β
"Thank you, stop by this time. Li Qing responded, and his face softened.
The car drove all the way to the Lingang City Police Station, and when Li Qing followed Ma Baoshan upstairs, he looked up and hit Qi Kuan leaning on the handrail of the stairs, squinting and looking down at them.
"Director. Ma Baoshan was slightly stunned, glanced at Li Qing, and then screamed a little sneeringly.
Qi Kuan put his two hands into his pants pockets and slowly straightened his waist: "You go get busy first, I have a few words with Li Qing." β
"Oh, good. Ma Baoshan was really a little difficult to be caught in the middle, nodded at the moment, turned his head and said to Li Qing: "Master Li, you can work hard for a while, just go to the office over there to find me, I'll wait for you there." β
Seeing Li Qing nodding, Ma Baoshan glanced at Qi Kuan again, and then turned to leave.
The remaining Li Qing and Qi Kuan looked at each other for a while, their eyes intertwined, and there was a bit of a staggered edge. After a while, a smile suddenly appeared on Qi Kuan's face: "Let's find a quiet place to talk." β
"Yes. Li Qing followed behind, and the two of them walked along the corridor inside, during which police officers kept greeting Qi Kuan.
Qi Kuan suddenly asked, "I heard that you are very close to Lin Qiuqiu of the Lin family?"
"Director Qi even wants to investigate this?" Li Qing was a little unhappy.
Qi Kuan smiled and waved his hand: "I'm just asking casually, you know, I also have some friendship with Qiuqiu." I can only envy your good fortune, I got acquainted with Qiuqiu when I went to Yanjing as a Lingang delegation for exchanges, and I was also fascinated by her at that time, and I almost didn't want to come back. β
After a pause, Qi Kuan said again: "Li Qing, you seem to have a good relationship with women, I am really ashamed of myself in this regard." For example, Director Zhong, she seems to take special care of you. β
Li Qing understood that Qi Kuan had something to say, but he deliberately did not answer.
"Li Qing, should we talk about that batch of arms?" Qi Kuan glanced back at Li Qing, and suddenly said with a smile, "Chen Hongming spent so much money to buy arms, and the arms are our Qi family, but the money was collected by you, how can this be said in your business? Oh, by the way, eat alone." β
Li Qing replied coldly: "That batch of arms came from the Gangbei military, and it doesn't seem to be your Qi family." The loss was also deducted by the Chen family's property, I don't know what else you want. Haven't the Qi family taken advantage of enough? Don't be too greedy. β
The huge amount of money for the arms is still kept by Qian Liming. Even if he was calculated by Xie Yuyan a while ago, the Li family was forced by the bank step by step, and Li Qingning took the risk to go to Gangbei Bay to fish for gold bricks without using the money, and it was impossible to hand it over to the Qi family at this time. This money is a back road reserved by Li Qing, and it must not be touched unless it is forced to do so.
Qi Kuan was not surprised by Li Qing's answer, he didn't dare to do anything with Li Qing now, so he simply chose a more gentle way of speaking: "The Qi family has indeed taken a lot of advantages, but your Li family is not idle." In the past two days, explosive news has emerged in Lingang, I don't know if you have heard about it. β
"Do you mean the murder in the Red Corner District?" Li Qing asked lightly with slightly flirting eyelids.
"There's one, there's another. As he spoke, the two of them had already walked to an empty interrogation room, and Qi Kuan seemed to want to find such a special place to chill Li Qing.
Leaning on the corner of the table, Qi Kuan lit a cigarette, took a puff lightly, and then raised his head and stared at Li Qing: "I heard that two fishermen were fishing in Gangbei Bay yesterday and caught gold bricks." β
His pupils shrank suddenly, and Li Qing's body stiffened slightly.
"Now it is estimated that the entire Lingang knows that there is a treasure under the North Bay of the Gang. There was a hint of schadenfreude in Qi Kuan's eyes, "Take care of the things in the backyard, you must know that people nowadays can do anything." β
"Thanks for the reminder. Li Qing gritted his teeth and said, even if he suspected that the Qi family had released the news, there was nothing he could do.
"Oh, yes. Also, about Chen Hongming, I hope you can give me an explanation. Qi Kuan stretched out his hand and patted his head, "There have been too many things recently, and the case in the Red Corner District is really a headache." But compared to Chen Hongming's murder, I'd rather stay there. Over there, I only need to concentrate on investigating, and it is very troublesome to deal with all aspects of the relationship on this side. β
Li Qing said bluntly: "I didn't kill people. β
After staring at Li Qing for a while, Qi Kuan nodded: "I believe you, but you are the last person to see Chen Hongming before he died, you have to tell me what the two of you said." β
"The last person to see him was the murderer, not me. β
Qi Kuan pinched the cigarette between his fingers and laughed: "Yes, yes, I asked too hastily." I can see from the previous surveillance footage that when you met Chen Hongming, he was very excited. Li Qing, you just treat me as a routine question, after all, with your current status, it is a bit inappropriate for you to make an interrogation record. β
Li Qing changed the interrogation room he was in, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "I have been brought to this kind of place by you, and it seems that there is nothing inappropriate." β
"I just find it easy to talk here. β
The corners of his mouth pursed slightly, Li Qing smiled and shook his head: "My answer may disappoint you, don't you think that it is abnormal for Chen Hongming to see me if he is not excited?"
"Oh, how so?"
Li Qing raised his eyebrows slightly: "If I blow up your own brother first, and then rob your fiancΓ©e at the wedding, and then destroy your family, and finally divide your property, what will happen when you see me again?"
Qi Kuan smiled meaningfully, snuffed out the cigarette in his hand, and clapped his hands: "The reason is very good, since you say so, we have nothing to talk about." β
"See you later. Li Qing waved his hand, opened the door of the interrogation room and walked out, behind him, Qi Kuan's face slowly turned cold.
Li Qing walked through the corridor and went straight to the office to find Ma Baoshan.
The door was ajar, and seven or eight police officers were reporting to him, and on the table were piles of files and investigation reports, stacked like hills.
"I'll talk about it later. Seeing Li Qing standing at the door, Ma Baoshan hurriedly stood up, waved at his subordinates, and then pulled out a chair and walked out.
"I just asked them to look through the previous files to find enemies who might attack Chen Hongming. Ma Baoshan's oily round face showed an expression of crying and laughing, "The result is good, the long list is long, most of them are ruthless characters I dare not touch, this case is not easy to handle." β
Li Qing said with a smile: "It's really a bit difficult to let you handle this kind of case." You still go and ask Director Qi to put him in front, and you can just do it. β
"No, it is estimated that this case will be closed in the end. There are too many people in Lingang who want to kill Chen Hongming, and it is not interesting to check it out. Ma Baoshan stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please, "Go this way." β
Ma Baoshan took Li Qing to the morgue first, and when the cold corpse was pushed out of the cold storage, Li Qing finally determined that Chen Hongming was really dead.
The dignified Chen family was young and young, and finally came to an end. The protruding eyeballs and distorted face all make people deeply feel that such a way of dying is really disgraceful for his identity.
Tilting his head and looking at the strangulation marks on Chen Hongming's neck, Li Qing nodded secretly, Ma Baoshan was right, he was indeed strangled and suffocated.
"Push it in. With a wave of his hand, Li Qing said softly, exhaling a breath of white air because the temperature in the cold storage was too low.
Taking off his gloves and throwing them aside, Li Qing turned around and walked out. The people were already dead, and he didn't want to stay here anymore to vent his anger in front of a corpse. Ma Baoshan glanced at the people around him from behind, and then followed Li Qing's steps.
