Spread on a winding mountain road.

The black limousine lined up and drove slowly upward.

Outside the mourning hall of Nuoda, people in black suits all stood straight with heavy expressions, and stood along the road outside the mourning hall.

After Lin Wei got out of the car, the people on both sides of the road consciously bowed 90 degrees, and he just walked towards the mourning hall surrounded by the crowd with a blank face.

Stepping over the steps and entering the room, Shi Dong's coffin was facing the door, and behind the incense burner placed on the table was a photo of Shi Dongchu smiling.

Lin Wei sighed, tidied up the white cuff on his left arm, and faced the expression of grief at this moment, the Shi Dong's monks in white mourning clothes bowed ninety degrees, and then took the long incense handed by others, lit it, and solemnly waved it at Shi Dongchu, knelt on the futon in front of the coffin, and threw himself to the ground.

The coffin is not covered, and it can be seen that Shi Dongchu's half of his face is cleaned up, and his face does not look so ugly, quietly, as if he is asleep.

After kneeling, Lin Wei put the incense on the incense burner, then got up, took the arm of Mrs. Shi, who was full of grief, and said softly: "Mrs. Shi, the mourning changes." ”

"You've done a great job." Her eyes were red and swollen, and she couldn't hide her haggardness, she looked at Lin Wei, and after saying this, she didn't let go of her hand, but continued to look at Lin Wei directly.

Lin Wei said softly: "The identity of the murderer has been confirmed, and I will wait for the funeral to end, and I will go to see it in person." ”

"Please!" Mrs. Shi shook Lin Wei's hand heavily, and then let go, Lin Wei was about to turn around, but she wanted to say something again: "Before the accident in the east."

Lin Wei turned sideways, Mrs. Shi's face was entangled for a few moments, and finally gritted her teeth, walked closer, and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"President Li Zhongjiu had a fight with him. I don't know what they talked about, but the expressions of Toide and President Lee Zhongjiu on that day were not very good. ”

Lin Wei didn't reply, just nodded and turned to leave.

After mourning, guests are directed to the lounge on the side of the mourning hall, where they will have a simple meal before saying goodbye to the mourner.

According to the customs of the Chinese people, there should be a night vigil, but because the people who participated in Shi Dong's funeral were either rich or noble, and their identities were not bad, Mrs. Shi consciously simplified the process in this regard, so as not to make it difficult for the people below.

The vigil is attended by the family, and when the coffin is sent to the burial, people from within the company can participate.

Walking out of the mourning hall, Lin Wei saw Li Zhongjiu standing on the side, his eyes were bloodshot, and the other party looked at the coffin in the mourning hall in a daze at the moment, without saying a word.

Even if Lin Wei walked past him, Li Zhongjiu didn't hear it, just looked at it in a daze.

Lin Wei retracted his gaze, Ding Qing and the others had already gone through the process, and under the guidance of Shi Dong's relatives, Lin Wei burned a few handfuls of paper money in the brazier on one side, he got up and walked to Ding Qing's side.

Ding Qing just patted Lin Wei's shoulder and didn't say anything, everyone stood at the door with heavy expressions for a while, and then went to the lounge next door for a simple meal.

It wasn't until it was almost time for dinner that Lin Wei found Mrs. Shi, whispered a few words, and left first.

Li Zhong didn't leave for a long time - looking at his appearance, he had the intention of guarding until the end.

Lin Wei got into a limousine and left the funeral scene and went to the police station.

In order to avoid being taken away, Lin Wei was transferred from the hospital to the morgue of the police station early, and no one wanted to see the body without the nod of the director.

As for the police station where the body was placed, it was naturally the police station next to the Garibong Cave that Lin Wei was more familiar with in Seoul.

That is, the police station of the police station where Ma Xidao and Han Dujing are now working.

Han Dujing was notified early and waited at the door of the police station for a long time, and when Lin Wei's motorcade arrived at the scene, he took Lin Wei into the morgue from the back door in a low-key manner, and after handing the key to Lin Wei, he consciously did not plan to go in.

"The camera is temporarily off, and there will be no one else here for half an hour, this is the investigation report." Han Dujing whispered.

Lin Wei's expression was calm, not seeing the previous sadness, but he could still feel his dignified momentum, not sad or smiling, but like the calm before the storm, giving people a sense of majesty that I didn't know how to explain.

"Thank you."

With a brief remark, he walked into the morgue, found the number, took out the key to unlock it, and pulled the body out of the air-conditioned cabinet.

Standing next to the corpse, Lin Wei quietly looked at the face of the driver who caused the accident.

Although there are stitches on his face and some signs of deformation, he can still see that the other party is a middle-aged man, and with that unfamiliar face, Lin Wei can be sure that he has never seen the other party.

Picking up the autopsy report and investigation report handed to him by Han Dujing, Lin Wei carefully read them line by line.

"The deceased was male, age. A large amount of alcohol residue was detected, and there was an undigested stomach that was not detected as a drug component in the body."

In good health, no indiscriminate medication, but there are traces of alcohol.

If Shi Dongchu was an ordinary person, then the case could be closed now, and it is not uncommon for drunk drivers to hit and kill people.

But Lin Wei only glanced at it, then put the autopsy report aside and picked up the investigation report of the police station.

"Name of the deceased: Cheng Daojun.

Age of the deceased: 41 years old.

Graduated from the Department of Finance, Korea University

As the general manager of Innovation Construction, he was suspended for internal investigation at the beginning of this month and is currently unemployed.

Wife's name"

Lin Wei patiently read to the end.

The identity of the deceased was the general manager of a medium-sized construction company, and life was smooth until his death.

Graduated from a prestigious university like Korea University, has a beautiful wife, two children who are currently studying abroad, has a car and a house, and has a good financial situation and no bad habits.

After investigating the interpersonal relationship, I didn't find out anything that had a business conflict with Kinmen, and I didn't offend anyone.

The only thing worth paying attention to is that he was suddenly suspended from the company for investigation.

"Company insiders said that the deceased may have had financial problems with the company before his death, and was addicted to alcohol all day after being suspended for investigation, and the possibility of committing suicide by drinking for fear of guilt cannot be ruled out."

After Lin Wei read it, he knew it in his heart.

At present, the only direction that can be traced is probably why this guy named Cheng Daojun has financial problems in the company.

He turned his head and motioned to Cha Tae-sik at the door to call Han Do-kyung over.

Han Dujing pushed the door in, and what he saw was Lin Wei with his eyes closed and one hand on the corpse's shoulder.

This scene was quite weird - it was as if Lin Wei was praying for Cheng Daojun, which made him feel a little imaginative.

"You keep looking, I want to find out what is wrong with his company by tomorrow."

"Yes, President Hayashi." Han Dujing bowed slightly, sighed in his heart, came to Seoul from Annan City, but in the end, he just changed someone to be a cow and a horse.

"I'll ask the director to send Ma Xidao over to do it with you, and I must find out what the hell is going on. President Shi won't die in an accident. ”

Lin Wei's voice fell, and Han Dujing immediately agreed.

But Lin Wei still just closed his eyes and put one hand on the corpse: "That's it, I'll go out in a while." ”

"Yes." Han Do-kyung left.

Lin Wei still maintained his posture, motionless.

At this moment, in his ears, a faint voice kept ringing.

【. 130 million]

【. You don't have to worry about the rest]

Lin Wei vaguely heard the key.

He took his patience, little by little, trying to find a whisper that might lead to the murderer through the jumble of information.

【. Husband, how can you do such a thing. 】

【. Rest assured. After the deed is completed, it will be written off]

【. How did I get to where I am today?]

【. It hurts】

【. I shouldn't have been involved in this kind of thing. 】

【. Friend, you've killed me. 】

【. Zhao Group's. 】

The voices in my ears grew fainter and weaker, and at last only sporadic words remained, and after that, only painful gasps and cries remained, and no words could be heard.

Lin Wei withdrew his hand, he felt a rare discomfort, he frowned slightly, raised his hand, walked to the sink on the side of the morgue, turned on the faucet and began to wash his hands.

He also wanted to wear gloves, but he couldn't hear the sound without direct skin contact. Although the skill of this dead language is bizarre, its limitations are not small.

After washing his palms twice in a row, and then washing his palms with professional disinfectant, and then washing them with detergents, Lin Wei took the paper towel handed by Che Tae-sik, wiped his hands, and walked out.

Han Dujing was still waiting for him to come out at the door.

"The first one to investigate clearly is the truth of Cheng Daojun's internal investigation, and the second one to investigate is his wife, whose wife probably knows some insiders.

Then, give me a look at his friends, give me a list, and I want to know who his friends are.

In addition, it is important to check whether he has any business conflicts or relationships with the Zhao Group.

Investigate the contents of his bank account or transfer, and pay attention to the content of a sum of $130 million. ”

Lin Wei said as Han Dujing took out a small notebook and wrote it all down, and after that, Lin Wei waved his hand a little tiredly: "Investigate as soon as possible." ”

"Yes."

Han Dujing immediately agreed, Lin Wei glanced at him, and said, "I'm different from Park Chengpei's son of a bitch, just call me when you have difficulties and problems, after the matter is completed, you won't be disappointed." ”

"Yes." Han Dujing didn't dare to look forward to it too much, but he still nodded gratefully.

Out of the police station, Lin Wei got into the car, his brows were still locked, and the convoy in front of him and behind him lined up in a long line, attracting the attention of many passers-by.

His security level had to be raised to the highest level - the private meeting he had originally made with Park Hee-sun had to turn around a few more times and change to another secret high-end hotel.

Getting off the car from the underground parking lot of a high-end hotel, Lin Wei, surrounded by bodyguards, and Cha Tae-sik got on the elevator and went upstairs.

After arriving at the highest floor of the elevator, I got off the elevator, turned into another private elevator and continued upstairs, and when the elevator door opened, a professional waiter took Lin Wei into a private room, and Park Hee-sun was sitting in it, drinking tea and looking at the neon outside the window.

"President Lin."

Seeing Lin Wei, Park Hee-sun smiled slightly, while Cha Tae-sik bowed slightly to Lin Wei and Park Hee-sun after scanning the room, and turned to go out.

"President Lin is becoming more and more cautious."

Park Hee-sun laughed, while Lin Wei sighed and sat down opposite her: "Councilor Park doesn't know that something like that happened to President Shi, so you have to be more careful recently." ”

"You have to be careful. Got eyebrows? Park Hee-sun's expression was solemn, and after a pause, he said, "Mourning." ”

Lin Wei nodded first, and then said: "I haven't found the key yet, but my preliminary estimate may be that it may be the hand of someone outside the group." ”

"Oh?" Park Hee-sun was a little surprised, in her opinion, it was not Lin Wei who could do this kind of thing, but also people within other groups. It seems that things are far more complicated than she thought.

"As soon as President Shi dies, I'm afraid that the group will bleed again. In the end, it is not as good as those serious chaebols, and in the end, it may still have to be in those unsightly ways to have a result. ”

Lin Wei sighed, and then smiled: "Don't talk about this. How is Congressman Park doing? ”

"Not bad." Park Hee-sun smiled, reserved with a hint of ostentation: "Since President Roh's many ideas have been implemented, the other opposition parties have also been a little unable to sit still, and now they are leaning towards us, and we are bound to win the election of members of the National Assembly in April." ”

Lin Wei was silent for a moment before giving a reply that surprised Park Hee-sun.

"It's better to be careful - although President Lu is in decline now, it is far from the time when the sun is waning, so you have to think twice about doing something to him, and it's best to take yourself out first."

Lin Wei's words made Park Hee-sun frown slightly: "Please also ask President Lin to make it clear." ”

"President Lu has only been in office for a year now, and even the public knows very well that he has moved a lot of people's cakes, and now he is fighting back against him, no matter what the reason, or even whether it is right or wrong, it will become revenge in the eyes of the public.

Rome was not built in a day, and if you want to do it to President Lew, you must not be prepared for a phased failure if you want to succeed once or twice, but the temporary failure is for the sake of success later. ”

Lin Wei said lightly: "President Lu is too rigid and easy to break, lack of experience, although the ideal is good, it is inevitable that there will be a lot of forks when landing, and for the public, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment, the result of the next election, I am still optimistic about the results of the next election, but if Councilor Park has any favorite candidate, it is best not to let him get involved in this incident." ”

Park Hee-sun frowned slightly, and after a while, he said noncommittally: "President Lin wants to meet with me, doesn't he say that there is good news?" ”

"That's true." Lin Wei smiled: "The prosecutor is investigating President Lu's illegal donation, if nothing else, the results of the investigation will come out before and after the president's speech in February. ”

As soon as these words came out, Park Hee-sun was overjoyed: "Are you serious!?" ”

At the same time, Park Hee-sun was also shocked - he is also so well-connected in the prosecution!?

"Nature. When the results of the investigation come out, I will inform Congressman Park one step in advance before they are published in the newspaper, and I don't know how far I can use this information at that time. ”

Lin Wei smiled: "I wish you all the best in advance." ”

But in his heart, Lin Wei sighed.

Park Hee-sun is afraid that he is going to make a mistake.

But it doesn't matter, there are still a few years before the change, and it is not a bad thing for Lin Wei to let Park Hee-sun plant a heel first.

If Lin Wei can be done without him, then how can Lin Wei's importance begin?

If he wants Park Hee-sun to truly be his own person, and if he wants to become Park Hee-sun's indispensable friend, then he must embody the value that no one around her can embody.

Now I am afraid that no one around Park Hee-sun will consider the failure of the counterattack at all, and no one will think that this matter will fail, after all, in addition to the conservative faction where Park Hee-sun is now located, which has more than 100 seats in the National Assembly, there are also a number of small opposition parties with a total of dozens of seats.

As long as they find a way to severely dampen President Lew's momentum before the congressional election, and wait until the congressional election is over, then the parliament will not be their world?

In charge of Congress, President Lu is just a toothless tiger, and if he wants to do it, it will not be so scary.

Everyone felt that President Lu had offended so many people, he had made no achievements in his first year in office, and he had not fulfilled any of the promises made during the election, so how could the people still support him?

Now that Lin Wei has also said that the prosecution is also going to do something to President Lu, Park Hee-sun is afraid that he is shouting that the destiny of heaven is mine, where can he still feel that there is a possibility of failure?

Lin Wei just smiled, but he didn't say anything that was a bad thing.

He calmed down and chatted with Park Hee-sun about some seemingly trivial things, chatting and chatting, and inevitably talked about his views on the next election.

"Zhao Haixiong is actually not very easy to push."

Park Hee-sun frowned slightly, not satisfied with Lin Wei's candidate.

"He's an outsider, he hasn't done much within the conservative wing, and he's just now active in Seoul."

Although Park Hee-sun didn't say it explicitly, he still said vaguely: "Other friends are still a little strange to him." ”

Lin Wei was not impatient, but smiled: "It's still early, strangeness is natural, before participating in the election, who is not a strange existence in the eyes of the public?"

I don't expect Haixiong to succeed this year, but at least this year should start operational, and in another ten years, he will almost have gained prestige. ”

"Ten years." Park Hee-sun smiled dumbly, and then said, "It's too far, President Lin, let's talk about it in three or four years." ”

"I don't have any opinion on the election in three or four years - if there is a good candidate for Congressman Park, even if he recommends it to me, but in the next election, if Councilor Park does not come out of office, then it will not work."

Lin Wei smiled: "I've been waiting for Councilor Park to break history." ”

These words made Park Hee-sun happy: "President Lin is really good at laughing, I'm a woman, how can I get out of the horse"

"What's wrong with the woman? If there is any woman in the South Korean Peninsula who can make history, in my opinion, it is none other than Congressman Park! ”

Lin Wei's words made Park Hee-sun more and more happy, but to be honest, she didn't have any idea about becoming president for now.

was made happy by Lin Wei's words, Park Hee-sun did not hide it, and simply said directly: "If you say who I am more optimistic about in three or four years, there is a parliamentarian named Li Biming, I am quite optimistic."

In addition to him, there is another person named Zhang Bizhou who also has the meaning of rising, but Zhang Bizhou is now very close to the Future Group and the Capital Daily, and I don't like Li Jiangxi of the Capital Daily, so I don't recommend it. ”

"Rep. Lee Bi Myong and Rep. Lee Myung Lang are both elites from famous families, who served as vice president of Sam Hung and later served as a director of SK, and now they are concentrating on working in the National Assembly, and their election funds and background are very solid.

It's probably a lack of a good helper like President Lin to control the media. ”

Park Hee-sun smiled and said, "If you are interested, I will introduce you one or two later?" ”

"Thank you so much Senator Park." Lin Wei made a overjoyed expression, took out the teacup, raised it and said, "I replace wine with tea, thank you for your care." ”

"Haha~ It's better to replace wine with tea, who doesn't know that President Lin drinks an amazing amount of wine now, and I don't dare to drink it if I don't replace wine with tea."

Park Hee-sun teased and clinked glasses with him with tea, but after that, he said seriously: "But I suggest that President Lin should deal with the things around him as soon as possible, and take over the Seoul Daily as soon as possible, and there will be suspicions outside the province." ”

"Understood." Lin Wei pondered for a moment, and then said, "The meeting with Councilor Li will be left until I become the president." ”

"Haha~ Okay!"

Park Hee-sun smiled and ended the dinner with him.

After leaving the high-end hotel, Lin Wei took the car home, and the people of the convoy did not bow and leave until they sent him into the house.

Cha Tae-sik didn't go.

Xiaomi was entrusted to Jin Meizhen again, and he lived in the nanny's room, serving as a round-the-clock bodyguard to ensure Lin Wei's personal safety at such a special moment.

The wind and rain outside the home did not affect Lin Wei's performance at home, he was as calm and calm as ever, and he couldn't see the slightest bit of uneasiness and anxiety that he should have.

But everyone knows - an unavoidable storm is coming.
