Chapter 55: Don’t You See Such a Big Amount of Good Karma?
“Director, Fang Yuke from the Fang Corporation fell off a building.”
“When did this happen?” w.a.n.g Jiajun was shocked.
“Just, our men are rus.h.i.+ng over. Chief, you…”
“I’ll be right there.”
w.a.n.g Jiajun hung up the call and immediately said to w.a.n.g Zhixing, “Dad, something happened at the police station. I can’t spend time with you tonight.”
w.a.n.g Zhixing felt a knot in his heart. He was a little disappointed.
He asked, “Do you have to go?”
“Yes! It’s regarding the Fang Corporation. It’s very urgent,” w.a.n.g Jiajun said solemnly.
w.a.n.g Zhixing sighed.
“Go!” w.a.n.g Zhixing waved his hand. “Be serious at work. Don’t be distracted.”
“I know, Dad.”
Then, w.a.n.g Jiajun said to his wife and child, “Lin Juan, you and Huanhuan can accompany Dad tonight. I’ll come back to pick you up later.”
“Okay! You can go ahead!”
After that, w.a.n.g Jiajun left immediately.
…
Fang Corporation.
There were many people gathered around the building, jamming the traffic. Vehicles could not pa.s.s through normally.
Before long, the police arrived.
The police sectioned off the building and dispersed the onlookers so that the traffic could run normally.
A few minutes later, w.a.n.g Jiajun arrived at the scene.
He changed into his police uniform and looked very grave.
“Director!”
“Director!”
…
The police officers greeted him.
w.a.n.g Jiajun remained silent and looked up.
At this moment, the captain ran over.
“Director, you’re here!” said the captain.
w.a.n.g Jiajun asked earnestly, “Did you find anything?”
“The coroner examined the deceased. The preliminary conclusion is suicide.”
“Suicide?” w.a.n.g Jiajun was surprised. He couldn’t believe it.
The captain continued, “The medical examiner didn’t find any new injuries on him, and he doesn’t have any mental illnesses. He probably jumped off the building himself.”
w.a.n.g Jiajun shook his head and asked, “We’re looking at the external injuries on his body, and we still can’t determine if it was suicide or homicide?”
“We’ve already sent men upstairs to investigate and determine the deceased’s location before he fell.”
w.a.n.g Jiajun said, “I’m guessing he was on the rooftop.”
When the captain heard this, he immediately radioed his colleagues upstairs and asked them to go to the rooftop to take a look.
“Have you gotten a copy of the building’s surveillance footage?” w.a.n.g Jiajun asked again.
“It’s being backed up. We should have it soon.”
“Where is the deceased’s family?”
“Inside the building. The deceased’s father is very emotionally unstable. After learning of Fang Yuke’s death, he fainted on the spot.”
“Calm them down and ask if Fang Yuke has been acting abnormally recently.”
“Director, do you think it’s possible that he couldn’t handle the public because of the scandal he was in? He might have chosen to jump off the building.”
“This is also a possibility.
“However, we’re here to examine the tangible evidence. Before everything is finalized, all our deductions are meaningless.”
“Yes.”
“I’ll go check on the deceased.
“Maintain order at the scene. Don’t let anyone cross the cordon.
“Especially the media. They will definitely make a big fuss out of this. Keep an eye on them. ”
“Understood.”
After the conversation, w.a.n.g Jiajun walked towards the spot where Fang Yuke’s corpse was found.
Everything aside, in w.a.n.g Jiajun’s eyes, Fang Yuke was a very ambitious, mature, and outstanding person.
Although he got involved in a scandal, given his personality and family background, it seemed impossible that he would choose to commit suicide.
Which meant his death was most likely a homicide.
If it were a homicide, the nature of this case would be entirely different.
At this thought, w.a.n.g Jiajun felt immensely stressed.
The murderer, Di Tai, was still in the hospital. His life was out of danger for the time being, but his condition was not optimistic.
And now this had happened. It really was going to kill him.
He had only been the director for less than two years and didn’t get any breaks.
…
The southern mountainous region.
In a small village deep in the mountains.
Three people were tied up in a room piled with hay.
It was Lyu Yuhua and company.
After bidding farewell to the guide, they took many unnecessary paths. After a night, they finally found the village in the mountains.
They found the village chief and told him the reason for their visit.
The village chief welcomed them, and the village organized a grand welcome party for them.
However, they did not know that the wine they drank had been tampered with.
After downing the wine, they felt dizzy and pa.s.sed out then and there.
The village leaders had given them a large amount of the sleeping drug, and they had yet to wake up.
Late at night.
Rain suddenly began to fall from the sky, accompanied by lightning.
Whoos.h.!.+
Accompanied by the sound of thunder, rain poured down.
In the deep mountains and forests, such weather was very common—heavy rain would come at night, and it would stop by daybreak.
The thunder became louder and more frequent.
The three people in the straw hut woke up groggily.
They realized that they were tied up with ropes with cloth stuffed in their mouths when they woke up. The first thing that came to mind was: we must have been kidnapped.
For a moment, they were terrified.
They instinctively wanted to break free from the ropes.
They struggled against the ropes. When they pushed out their arms, the ropes easily snapped.
!!!
The three of them were very surprised.
They thought, They really thought so little of us that they used bad quality ropes to tie us up.
Then, they quickly pulled the cloth from their mouths and took in large breaths of fresh air.
Lyu Yuhua was the first to calm down. He looked around and asked, “Old Liu, Old Lu, are you alright?”
“I’m fine, my head just feels a little heavy,” said Old Liu.
“Me too,” Old Lu agreed.
Lyu Yuhua rubbed his own head, feeling the same.
He thought, Our food or liquor must have been drugged.
“Old Lyu, Old Liu, what should we do now?” Old Lu looked frightened.
Old Liu patted his b.u.t.t and said, “What else can we do? Let’s see what they want!”
Meanwhile, Lyu Yuhua remained rather calm.
He rubbed his chin. “I think you’ve forgotten something.”
Old Liu and Old Lu were stunned. “What?”
Lyu Yuhua said, “What was our purpose for coming here?”
“Of course it’s to teach and earn good karma!”
“So, isn’t this a great opportunity?”
“What opportunity?”
Old Liu and Old Lu were confused. They couldn’t see where Lyu Yuhua was going with this.
Lu Yuhua said, “Are you two fools! Don’t you see such a big amount of good karma?”
Old Liu and Old Lu stared at each other.
Lyu Yuhua continued, “Think about it, were we kidnapped by these villagers?”
“Yes!”
“Is kidnapping a serious crime?”
“Yes!”
“More importantly, they trapped us here. Does this count as false imprisonment?”
“Yes!”
“That’s great! These villagers have committed kidnapping and false imprisonment. If we hand them over to the police, won’t that be lots of good karma?”
Old Lu and Old Liu scratched their heads. That seemed to make sense.
But how should we hand them over to the police?
Old Lu said, “Old Lyu, we might get some karma, but I don’t think we can do it with the three of us old men alone!”
Lyu Yuhua pondered for a moment before saying, “I’ve considered this situation as well.
“Since we can’t defeat them with strength, let’s use our wits.”
“Wits?” Old Lu and Old Liu looked at each other. “How?”
“Let me think about it.”
It was daybreak.
