Chapter 478: Rose-Transferring to a New School (Part )

Case Seven Rose
Transfer to another school (Part 2)

"——Hey, Captain Gu, Director Zhu is back? He was frozen in the wind all night in the funeral home... Don't eat the buns, they are all left over from last night. I don't know how the plug wire of our water dispenser got broken. Zheng Siyi and the others have hot water in their room. Can we make a bowl of noodles?"

Lin Yu held up a stainless steel lunch box and pushed open the door of the small conference room. He first saw Zhu Silai holding a steamed bun beside the table, hesitating whether to eat it or not. He raised his chin and pointed at the box of instant noodles that Uncle Song had just sent over early this morning to replenish the stock. He turned and looked at Gu Xing who was looking through the files of the overnight interrogation. "The owner of the auto repair shop that the Second Institute has a designated cooperation with can't be contacted. Huang Xingjun went to block him with their traffic police detachment."

Gu Xing worked hard to frown until his eyebrows turned red. He put down the file in his hand and looked at Lin Yu who was leaning over with instant noodles. He raised his chin a little, just as a greeting, "Is the guy who is responsible for the inspection and replacement of the parts of the car that exploded a temporary worker? In the interrogation statement, he said... He just followed the arrangements of the leader and knew nothing else - how credible is that? What's the situation with their car repair shop? How could such a big mistake happen in a systematic bidding cooperation?"

"Don't mention it. If it weren't for the designated cooperation, he wouldn't have been so angry during the interrogation."

Lin Yu shook his head helplessly, sighed and said, "The traffic police detachment sent two idiots over there... Zou Rui and Wang Jiahao..." Lin Yu moved the instant noodle bowl and raised his hand to nod at Jiang Mo who was eating noodles. "It was her classmate, two slick guys. The auto repair shop didn't hate him at all. If it weren't for Huang Xingjun's big and strong man blocking the door, everyone would still be standing there."

Zhu Silai was a bit picky and rummaged through the instant noodle box. In the end, he didn't find anything that suited his taste. He was too lazy to soak it in water, so he broke off a piece and threw it into his mouth. He chewed it for a long time. "The fire point of the car explosion was almost burning their faces. How dare they cheat?"

"He argued with reason by holding the cooperation tender documents, saying that he would never do something that would ruin his job... But he said that, but in reality he didn't cooperate at all. If the temporary worker hadn't been so guilty and trembling that we caught him in the bathroom, he might not have been able to come up with this little bit of covert confession."

Lin Yu curled his lips and shrugged slightly, raised his eyebrows and looked at the documents in Gu Xing's hand, "The boss of the auto repair shop is named Lou Yao, and he should be considered a non-resident investor. His main business is to be a purchasing channel for major auto parts cities. It seems that this auto repair shop that cooperated with us in bidding is not the first time to cut corners. The contract expires in August this year. It is said that they have been tinkering with it one after another and want to apply for transfer when the contract expires. There are only two experienced auto mechanics left in the factory now. Most of them are hired temporarily. The guy who inspected and replaced parts for the second institute is one of them. It is said that he just joined the company on the day of the repair-"

"On the day he started working, he just did what his instructor and leader taught him to do." Gu Xing nodded and chuckled, not surprised. "Then he just happened to pick out a part that was buried with suspected explosives. He waited until the police showed up without knowing anything, and hid in the toilet with a guilty conscience. Has the instructor who instructed him to change the parts been found?"

"Found him. A drunkard. We checked the factory surveillance, and he was sitting at the door drinking from the bottle when he was repairing the car for the Second Inspection Institute." Lin Yu frowned, looking at the signed page that Gu Xing held up and shook his head: "He did say that he saw the boss come to the factory that day. The temporary worker was out at the time, but the auto repair shop is in a remote location and it was late, so there were no witnesses to testify to his identification. Besides, this guy is addicted to alcohol and is still sobering up in the police station..."

"The temporary worker couldn't deny the problem, and he kept dithering until 4:30 this morning, insisting that he had chosen the auto parts according to his instructor's instructions, and that the accident might have been an unintentional mistake. The police car explosion really had nothing to do with him. But it seems that he really didn't know that there was an explosive point in the parts. He said that when he was about to replace the parts, he heard two "crackling" sounds inside - he realized that the parts might not be from a legitimate source, but he just thought it was a shoddy refurbishment, and at most left it on the road to anchor it or something, but he didn't expect it to explode..."

"Now we can only arrest the guy named Lou. But we called his family and they said he was on a business trip to an exhibition abroad. His flight won't land until after 10 o'clock today. We have to wait for news from Huang Xingjun..."

Lin Yu groaned, silently opened the bowl of noodles at hand, paused halfway through his words, looked up and glanced at Jiang Mo steadily, took out his phone from his pocket, rummaged around for a few times, held up a screenshot of a character profile and slapped it on the conference table: "...I said that there are not many people with the surname Lou who are still doing business in Sheng'an City - this Lou Yao is the uncle of the two brothers from Shengcheng International!"

"The owner of the auto repair shop is also surnamed Liang?" Gu Xing raised his eyebrows and hissed coldly. He lifted his eyelids and followed Lin Yu's line of sight to look at Jiang Mo: "You said last night that you checked the surveillance... and found out that it was related to Shengcheng International?" "Shengcheng International didn't. But I did find an acquaintance near the section of the road where the incident occurred."

Jiang Mo slurped a mouthful of noodles and replied vaguely. He fumbled for the phone in his pocket and handed the saved and intercepted street surveillance to Gu Xing. "When Letian'er and I were following the car, we noticed that the escort police car began to shake. It was probably near the traffic post on the east section of Yihe Street. After passing this intersection and heading towards Fuxin Road, we found the fire inside the car."

Gu Xing had spent the entire night in the funeral home, and his head was blown into a mess by the night wind. It was only then that he realized why Jiang Mo had taken the initiative to mention going to the scene of the accident. "The police car exploded, it is very likely that it was ignited by someone at close range at the time of the accident? Have you received a reply to the spare parts evidence investigation?"

"We have contacted the fire department to investigate the cause of the fire together with us. It is almost certain that there is an explosion point. Now we are just waiting for the results of the investigation to be published..."

Jiang Mo nodded firmly, stretched out his fingertips and quickly dragged the surveillance video that was playing at double speed, then stared at the screen of his mobile phone with a stern look in his eyes, and quickly decided to pause the screen: "Here, the parking space in front of the Yang Xiezi Hot Pot restaurant on the street."

"This car... looks familiar."

Gu Xing frowned and thought for a while, then asked uncertainly, "A car from Shengcheng International?"

"Liang Ji's car."

Jiang Mo shook his head slowly, "It should be a private car. I saw it twice in the parking lot of Shao Jie's club, when Liang Ji went to pick up Xu Muyang after get off work. But the person in the car was not Liang Ji——"

"It's Boss Liang's secretary, Li Li." Jiang Mo raised his fingertips and lightly tapped, then glanced at the tall figure on the screen, frowned and took a sip of the noodle soup, "When Letian'er and I went there, Li Li was still in the hot pot restaurant. It seemed that she was entertaining guests on behalf of Boss Liang, but... I searched the car and personal belongings, and found nothing."

"There is no evidence to prove it..."

Gu Xing was silent for a long time, waiting until Zhu Silai at the end of the conference table chewed the whole piece of bread into pieces and swallowed it into his stomach with a "crunch, crunch" sound. Then he yawned loudly, leaned back in his chair, and scratched his head randomly.

"Why don't you guys tell us something too? In this case of the vehicle explosion, was the murderer targeting Song Yike, who had a hidden agenda, or... Chen Haibin, who was being targeted for unknown reasons?"

Due to work and health reasons, I will be working on another day~
