195 Worthy of Being Brother and Sister
“Aren’t you the best private detectives in the country?”
Sang Minglang threw the materials in his hands, his face dark, “I spent so much money to hire you for the case, yet you only found this?”
One of them walked up to Sang Minglang and explained patiently, “President Sang, these are all the materials we can show you. We can’t form the investigation results into a written doc.u.ment or provide you with the corresponding evidence. If you want to hear it, we can only give you an oral account.”
“What do you mean? You can’t give me any evidence or written information, but I have to listen to you telling me word-by-word?”
Sang Minglang laughed from extreme anger. “Are all of you f*cking toying with me?”
The detective hesitated for a moment. “President Sang, we can’t afford to offend the person behind this. Even someone of Shen Hanyu’s status would think twice about fighting them, much less people like us. President Sang, we’re sincerely advising you not to investigate any further. Otherwise, you’ll get yourself into trouble and the losses will outweigh the gains…”
To be able to become a private detective in China and a top detective in this field, one must have some connections in both the light and the shadows.
This was really the first time Sang Minglang had seen a private detective being so frightened by the mastermind behind the scenes that he didn’t even dare to produce any evidence.
“Just based on what you said, I must hear the whole story from you today.”
Sang Minglang’s gaze slowly swept across the people in front of him. “Just who is the real culprit behind the shooting? To actually make all of you so afraid?”
The detective was stunned for a moment, but still leaned close to Sang Minglang’s ear and said a few words.
Sang Minglang’s expression changed, “Are you sure?”
The man’s tone was certain and his voice was very low. “Yes, we have a recording.”
When Shen Hanyu was shot, the Ming City Police were under a lot of pressure due to Shen Hanyu’s ident.i.ty and status, so they took the case very seriously.
At that time, Xie Shi’an had been regarded as the prime suspect. However, they had no choice but to release him after they could not find any evidence.
The police had their own procedures to follow. However, private detectives weren’t limited to this.
In addition, Sang Qianqian’s dream clearly pointed out that it was related to the Xie family. Hence, the private detective followed Xie Shi’an almost every second.
Xie Shi’an was only a doctor now, and his movements were very monotonous. It was not difficult to track him.
The only special thing was that Ruan Cheng’s confidant, Cui Xu, had gone to look for Xie Shi’an many times. It seemed like he wanted him to go back and visit the sick Ruan Cheng.
But almost every time, he would part on bad terms with Xie Shi’an.
There was one time when they were in Xie Shi’an’s car and they had an intense argument.
Xie Shi’an mentioned Sang Qianqian, the shooting, and the wedding. He said angrily that he would never forgive Ruan Cheng. He even said that he liked Sang Qianqian, but he did not want to use such a method to get her.
The tracking device in the car had recorded the entire argument.
Although Xie Shi’an didn’t point out that Ruan Cheng was the murderer, the detective couldn’t help but think deeply about these words.
Why would Xie Shi’an say such things if the shooting had nothing to do with Ruan Cheng?
This issue involving Ruan Cheng was no small matter. The private detectives did not dare to investigate further.
The Ruan family in the capital was originally a prestigious family.
However, after Ruan Cheng’s father was set up and killed, the Ruan family fell from grace and was in a difficult situation.
At that time, Ruan Cheng, who wasn’t even 20 years old, had single-handedly carried the Ruan family with his extraordinary wisdom and iron-blooded methods.
In the treacherous and dangerous capital, the Ruan family was restored to its former glory step by step.
It might be an exaggeration to say that Ruan Cheng had stepped on mountains of corpses and seas of blood to reach his current status. However, Ruan Cheng’s hands had indeed been stained with the blood of many lives.
Moreover, they were all done in silence, so even the police couldn’t track him down.
The others might not know who Ruan Cheng was, but these private detectives were in the field of investigation, so how could they not know?
That was why they did not want to, and did not dare to, offend Ruan Cheng.
Sang Minglang was silent for a long time.
Then, he glanced at them and raised his eyebrows. “If you’re afraid of Ruan Cheng, you might as well be afraid of me.”
He tapped his fingers on the table and said in a calm tone, “You’d better record this now. Otherwise, the news that the recording is in your hands will spread throughout the capital by tomorrow.”
It was clearly a nonchalant tone, but it made one shiver when they heard it.
The man’s forehead was covered in sweat. He felt that he had provoked another unreasonable big shot who didn’t care about his life.
He turned around and looked at his companions. After exchanging glances, they gathered together again and discussed in low voices for a long time.
After a while, they seemed to have finally made up their minds.
