Chapter 34: Disappearance
After a short time, beads of sweat oozed from Jin Lingling's forehead. She had been able to keep her expression calm just now, but it was going to take a while, and her expression gradually became distorted.
Pang Jindong noticed Jin Lingling's strange appearance and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?"
"I didn't ...... It's okay......" Jin Lingling used a wry smile mixed with embarrassment to show that she was fine.
"You seem to be very uncomfortable!"
"I ...... Use your bathroom......" Jin Lingling finally couldn't hold on, stood up and walked briskly towards the bathroom.
Watching Jin Lingling enter the bathroom, Pang Jindong took her bag, carefully opened it, and gently flipped it a few times to find the phone.
It is extremely rude to rummage through a girl's bag, because it may involve a lot of personal privacy. Although Pang Jindong looked like a thief, he still maintained this minimum sense of morality, trying his best not to look at those women's products, but just took out his mobile phone.
Pang Jindong quickly searched it in the address book of his mobile phone, but there was no hospital on it. In desperation, Pang Jindong called up the dialed phone numbers again and recorded them one by one.
After doing this qiē, Pang Jindong put the phone as it was.
After a while, Jin Lingling came out of the bathroom slowly, her hands on her stomach, and her expression was very sad.
Pang Jindong asked, "Are you okay?"
"It's nothing, it's just a little ...... ...... stomach ache" Jin Lingling shook her head and sat back on the sofa.
Looking at Jin Lingling's appearance, Pang Jindong spontaneously felt a sense of guilt.
In order to have a chance to check Jin Lingling's mobile phone, Pang Jindong put a little laxative in the iced black tea. However, the amount is extremely light, which can only make Jin Lingling feel some discomfort, and she will definitely not run to the bathroom endlessly.
Pang Jindong told Jin Lingling: "You take a rest here now, I'll go find you some medicine!"
The so-called "looking for medicine" is just an excuse to leave, and Pang Jindong's real purpose is to check whether there is anything he wants in these numbers. Pang Jindong came to the secret room and called them one by one with an Internet phone.
If the other party is a mobile phone, Pang Jindong will ask if the other party is a certain doctor, and if it is a fixed phone, Pang Jindong will ask if it is a certain hospital. If the other party is indeed a doctor or a hospital, it will inevitably correct Pang Jindong's statement. But the first few calls were personal, and Pang Jindong had to say, "I'm sorry, I made a mistake!" and then put down the phone and called the next number.
It is completely conceivable that Kim Seung-woo must now be under the protection of the police. One of Pang Jindong's biggest worries is that Jin Lingling does not contact the hospital directly, but through her colleagues stationed in the hospital to learn about the situation.
This possibility gradually increases as the number is excluded from one number. However, when the sixth number was called, the other party took the initiative to say, "Hello, Peace Hospital!"
Pang Jindong's heart moved, and he hurriedly said: "I am the criminal investigation detachment of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and I want to know how the patients we sent in a few days ago are doing!"
"The patient you sent in?" The other party felt very strange about this sentence, and after thinking about it, he said to Pang Jindong: "I don't know what you said, wait a minute, I'll ask someone else." ”
"Okay!" Pang Jindong's tone was calm, but his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
After a while, another person picked up the phone and asked Pang Jindong, "Are you talking about a patient surnamed Jin?"
"Yes. Pang Jindong was secretly happy in his heart, it seemed that he had really found the right place.
"He was in charge of Dr. Wang, and he happened to go to check the ward. ”
"Our leader is going to inspect later, can you tell me the room number?"
The other party asked a little vigilantly: "Are you in charge of this case? Why don't you even know the ward number?"
Pang Jindong pretended to be helpless and said: "I just took over this case, and I don't know all the circumstances. ”
"Didn't there be two of you guys watching?"
"None of their phones worked!"
"Oh, probably the signal is blocked!" This person thought about it and felt that Pang Jindong's tone was very real, not like a lie, so he told Pang Jindong: "He is on the third floor of the inpatient department, and he is in the fourth ward. ”
"Thank you!" Pang Jindong hung up the phone, and then immediately disconnected from the network.
This VoIP call was made through a proxy server in country M, and even if it was traced afterwards, it would be impossible to find Pang Jindong here.
found Jin Chengyu's whereabouts, Pang Jindong felt that a stone in his heart had fallen to the ground, and he casually found several stomach medicines and returned to the living room.
Lu Jing had arrived at this time and was chatting with Jin Lingling. Seeing Pang Jindong, she immediately stood up, as if she had a lot of things to say, but her mouth was open for a long time, and in the end she only spit out two words: "Hello~!"
Pang Jindong smiled and greeted Lu Jing in the same way: "Hello~!"
"When did you come back?" Lu Jing's gaze was complicated, containing longing, excitement, and doubt.
Pang Jindong looked at Jin Lingling and replied, "Two days ago!"
"Why did you sue me?"
"You and Lingling knew about my return for the first time, and the others didn't know yet!" Pang Jindong said, handed the medicine to Jin Lingling, and said, "Which one do you think is suitable for you?"
Jin Lingling didn't take it, but shook her head and said, "I'm already much better!"
Pang Jindong put the medicine on the coffee table, sat on the sofa, and said lightly: "That's good!"
"By the way, your Xiaoqing has come back and is busy cooking, I'll go over and help her!" Jin Lingling said, got up and went to the kitchen.
"My Xiaoqing......" Pang Jindong shook his head with a wry smile.
Lu Jing looked at Pang Jindong, then at Jin Lingling, hesitated, and followed.
The meal was quickly ready, and the four of them sat together chatting and eating, but the atmosphere seemed very dull.
This dullness originated from Pang Jindong and Jin Lingling, and Masaharu Kazama noticed it from the beginning, but she just ate with her head bored and didn't say a word. But Lu Jing was different, Pang Jindong's return made her very excited, and she asked this and that one by one, not noticing the subtle things between Pang Jindong and Jin Lingling at all.
Lu Jing asked Pang Jindong: "How are you doing in country M?"
"The troubles are all out of the way, and I plan to start some businesses there next, and I'll be back in a few days for that purpose. ”
Lu Jing nodded: "As long as there is no danger!"
Jin Lingling asked, "What career do you plan to open up?"
"Drug trafficking, arms smuggling, human trafficking, etc., if you have the ability, go and arrest me!"
Jin Lingling snorted lightly and did not speak.
Pang Jindong's joke obviously reminded Lu Jing, and she asked Jin Lingling: "I heard that you have recently become the head of the task force?"
Jin Lingling looked at Pang Jindong and replied: "It's a case of shooting discipline inspection!"
Lu Jing smiled and said, "Congratulations, you have been promoted!"
"What is there to congratulate on this!" Jin Lingling's gaze swept over Pang Jindong's face and landed on the eyeballs.
Lu Jing said: "Is it convenient to reveal who is so bold?"
Jin Lingling replied: "The case is still being solved! I can only guarantee that if it is discovered, it will be severely punished! This bandit is also rampant, and he even dares to shoot at a state government organ!"
Pang Jindong interjected casually: "Shooting state government organs is not the goal, killing Kim Seung-woo is!"
Jin Lingling asked, "For what?"
"Of course, it's to extinguish the mouth!" Pang Jindong's expression was flat, and he analyzed: "The matter of Jin Chengyu's being shuanggui caused a stir on the Internet some time ago. With this position alone, it is certain that he must be a giant rat. He has been hugging him for so many years, and he has inevitably created a large number of communities of interests. After he was shuanggui, these interest communities must be worried that he will say something that he shouldn't say, so ......" Pang Jindong didn't finish his words, and made a gesture with his hand to wipe his neck.
Lu Jing corrected: "It hasn't been long since Jin Chengyu became the director of the National Development and Reform Commission, he used to be the director of the Demolition and Relocation Office!"
Pang Jindong asserted: "It's also not Qingshui Yamen!"
Jin Lingling didn't care about Jin Chengyu's official experience, but continued the topic just now: "But if you want to kill Jin Chengyu, you have a lot of opportunities, why do you choose to do it in discipline inspection?"
"Warning Discipline Inspection!"
Jin Lingling asked again: "It's too rampant, isn't it?"
"After so many years of the state's anti-corruption campaign, corrupt officials are still following one another! Isn't it even more rampant that the super-huge corruption has been uncovered one after another, and the amount of corruption has continued to set new records?"
Pang Jindong's words won Lu Jing's approval: "Some people can do anything for money!"
In fact, the reason why Pang Jindong chose to work in discipline inspection was precisely to create such an illusion.
Jin Lingling thought for a moment and thought that what Pang Jindong said was reasonable. She punned on it, "You know the psychology of criminals very well!"
Pang Jindong replied: "In fact, this is just the most basic speculation, if you can't even do this, you can only say that the police are too incompetent!"
"Then you just wait and see how the incompetent police will bring the criminals to justice!"
"I'm afraid it depends on whether Kim Seung-woo cooperates, not whether your police have the determination!"
"I can't think of why he didn't cooperate!"
"There is enough reason for him not to cooperate, that is, he is afraid of inviting death! You made a big mistake by treating this case as an ordinary criminal case!"
Pang Jindong and Jin Lingling, you say a word to me, and the needle point fights against Mai Mang. Although Lu Jing didn't know what happened between these two people, she gradually felt that the situation was not right. She coughed, interrupted the two people's verbal conversations, and said, "Everyone is happy today, let's talk about something happy!
As soon as Lu Jing's words fell, Pang Jindong and Jin Lingling glanced at each other.
Pang Jindong's so-called "Jin Chengyu does not cooperate", in fact, he just said it to Jin Lingling. Under the current circumstances, it is not impossible for Kim Seung-woo to try to fight to the death. He is not a fool and is likely to include Pang Jindong as one of the suspects in his murder. In other words, the form will be very unfavorable to Pang Jindong.
But Pang Jindong is sure of one thing, that is, Jin Chengyu is still in a coma, so Pang Jindong still has enough time.
Under Lu Jing's mediation, the atmosphere began to ease.
After eating, Jin Lingling immediately said goodbye, and Lu Jing walked behind slowly.
When Jin Lingling went out, Lu Jing stood beside Pang Jindong, lowered her head, kept kicking the pebbles on the ground on her toes, and asked in a very low voice, "When are you leaving?"
"In about two or three days!"
"You...... Are you busy these days......"
When Pang Jindong heard this, he immediately understood that Lu Jing wanted to ask him out.
In today's society, there are more girls chasing boys. But with Lu Jing's own conditions, net worth and social status, there is absolutely no shortage of all kinds of excellent suitors, so it takes a lot of courage for her to take the initiative to throw a hydrangea to a boy. This made Pang Jindong, who didn't understand the love between men and women, actually had a feeling of "the most difficult to accept the grace of beauties".
In order to reject Lu Jing, Pang Jindong tried his best to make up lies, but the result was very cliché: "The company is too busy these days, I'm afraid I won't be able to spare time......"
"Oh!" Lu Jing nodded, walked briskly, and caught up with Jin Lingling.
Looking at the distant backs of the two sisters, Pang Jindong suddenly realized that he liked the feeling when he was with them. But Pang Jindong doesn't know where his feelings will end up, so in such a situation, he always tries to avoid the harm that may be brought to others.
Pang Jindong was about to return to the house, but found a group of people coming from afar, several of whom he knew, including Fathead Fish and Brother Scar. They were obviously looking for themselves, so Pang Jindong simply stood at the door and waited for them.
These people are all the bosses of the Star Dragon Gang, all with solemn faces, and one of the leaders came to Pang Jindong and said, "Mr. Pang, do you have time to talk?"
Pang Jindong has seen this person several times at home, his name is Ding Peng, and his status in the Star Dragon Gang is only below Lin Peiwen, and sometimes he plays the role of a think tank. Strangely, unlike the other bosses, he doesn't have a nickname, and everyone calls him by his first name.
"Please come in!" Pang Jindong looked at these people and let them in.
Sitting down in the living room, Ding Peng asked Pang Jindong, "Have you seen our boss?"
"She's going to sweep the grave today!"
Ding Peng looked at his companion, then stared at Pang Jindong, and replied word by word: "She is missing!"
Although it is a headache for Lin Peiwen to cause trouble to herself, living together for a period of time can cultivate feelings after all. Therefore, hearing this, Pang Jindong was shocked and began to worry about Lin Peiwen's safety.
It's just that Pang Jindong was very disgusted by Ding Peng's attitude, sneered, and asked, "So, you are here to ask the teacher?"
"I can't say that, but our boss lives with you, and no matter what happens, we will naturally have to give you an explanation!"
Pang Jindong looked up at these people and said coldly: "She is a big living person with the ability to take care of herself, not a three- or five-year-old child, let alone a pet, can I take care of her every day? Furthermore, I am not his father, so I have no such obligation!"
