National Forensic Doctor-Chapter 1210 - 1140: Never Forget the Original Aspiration

Chapter 1210: Chapter 1140: Never Forget the Original Aspiration

In Yue Hongxu’s office, Yue Hongxu’s secret safe was wide open, allowing anyone to search, as Yue Hongxu sat in his carefully chosen office chair, thoughtfully reporting on his friends.

Money and power deals, money and sex deals, power and sex deals, and various vice incidents...

Yue Hongxu didn’t want to disclose so much, but as he explained, elsewhere, the team that caught people would start urgent interrogations right away.

As the general manager of the film city, Yue Hongxu didn’t want to endure hard times, willing to help his brothers for a four-person cell in prison, his brothers were more or less the same kind of people.

They were all accustomed to pleasure, all had hearts turned black, they were all smart people, everyone knew Pandora’s box was opened, and they could even foresee the result, but so what.

People can only decide when the war starts, not when it ends.

"Mr. Yue, have you written it?" Wei Shikan laughed heartily, came over and sat beside Yue Hongxu, even taking the opportunity to put his arm around Yue Hongxu.

Yue Hongxu gave a wry smile and said, "Wei Ke, even a juicer isn’t this harsh. I’ve already given you three lists; I really can’t squeeze out any more."

Wei Shikan laughed heartlessly: "Look at you, still have the strength to say so much. You people in the film industry are really bold, even at your age, you still know what a Juice Extractor is."

Yue Hongxu glanced at Wei Shikan and said softly, "Wei Ke, could you avoid touching my waist while talking, so we can discuss properly."

"Write a few more names, and I’ll let go of your waist." Wei Shikan, as if in a bar, said as he playfully touched Yue Hongxu’s waist a couple more times.

Yue Hongxu, with a calm expression, said, "Otherwise, I’ll change into a midriff-baring outfit, feel free to touch as you wish; I really can’t write out another list."

Wei Shikan tapped Yue Hongxu with his finger: "You’ve got a serious defiant attitude."

Yue Hongxu, with bags under his eyes, stared at Wei Shikan: "I have a defiant attitude? Young man, you’ve gone too far. If you keep pushing me, I’ll have to make stuff up."

"You’re late to start making things up now." Wei Shikan, though young and with a background, was not obedient, but he earnestly wanted to be a criminal police officer, and his professional skills were above standard. To the prisoner Yue Hongxu, he said disdainfully, "You ratted out so many people to earn merit; by resisting interrogation, you’ll be narrowing your own path."

Yue Hongxu frowned deeply.

Being a traitor is a one-time or countless-times job.

Now he wouldn’t do it, and he wouldn’t gain anything good either.

But Yue Hongxu wasn’t willing to be manipulated by the young Wei Shikan, pretending to be calm and said, "I’m just hoping to create some good karma, handing over the list to you guys, and you wouldn’t even thank me."

Wei Shikan burst out laughing: "Good karma? You’re so corrupt, is there anyone among those you’ve associated with who has a better heart than you? I’ve seen many of your kind; there are few who don’t fly alone when disaster strikes. Aren’t you the same? Eager to catch other birds in your net."

Yue Hongxu was stunned by what was said.

"Write." Wei Shikan pushed the notebook forward, signaling Yue Hongxu to continue cooperating.

With no choice, Yue Hongxu steeled his heart, wrote down three more names on the paper, and then solemnly wrote a fourth.

"This should be enough for you to account for." Yue Hongxu handed the list back to Wei Shikan.

"Thanks." Wei Shikan said this half-jokingly, then called over the deputy team leader of his squad, casually saying, "Senior, keep an eye on him for me, I’m going to claim credit."

The deputy team leader said grumpily: "You should be calling me uncle, and why is it you claiming credit? Can’t I take it?"

Wei Shikan, half smiling, said, "Calling you uncle is fine, but uncle, with just this list of four names, at most you’ll get a ’good job’, why not let me take it, and I’ll owe you one?"

The deputy team leader looked at Wei Shikan, helplessly waved his hand: "Go on, go on."

Wei Shikan, laughing heartily, grabbed the list and ran out like a monkey...

...

Command Center.

Xu Taining sat at the computer, busy like an esports player in a real-time strategy game.

As the number of detained individuals increased, the once boastful human resources of the Lanyue City Bureau faced significant challenges.

Not to mention, just to detain suspects, the city’s detention center was already insufficient. They could only dig into internal potentials, speed up interrogations, and transfer detainees.

This situation, in turn, resulted in various other problems. For instance, previously believed cleared suspects, already detained elsewhere, would suddenly require re-interrogation due to unexpected situations, forcing officers to make trips and further stretching already thin police resources.

Additionally, more cases meant more crime scenes, more documents and paperwork, more reporting and communication...

Not to mention, officers were reaching their limits, with many police high-ups starting to experience truly busy feelings long forgotten, not merely the complexity of time management.

If it weren’t for the case being so high-profile, Dai Mingsheng would have personally called for a halt by now.

However, with leaders from the ministry overseeing, Dai Mingsheng’s pressure was overall manageable.

Jiang Yuan was even busier, almost going mad.

For the Criminal Science people, the number of cases equaled the number of scenes. Not to mention, dealing with arms-dealing gangs, even without strong organization, their level of violence wouldn’t rival more developed countries, but fundamentally, having guns in hand sparks killing intent.

Jiang Yuan, just from flipping through case files, uncovered two homicides.

On the interrogation side, valuable intelligence kept being passed out.

When Wei Shikan came over, he saw excited and tense faces everywhere.

"Time for wholesale third-class merits." Wei Shikan, nearing Jiang Yuan, quipped in passing.

Ordinary homicide cases wouldn’t earn second-class merits, but third-class merits were quite hopeful, at least a commendation was almost assured. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

Jiang Yuan, supporting his chin in thought, no one dared to disturb him, only Wei Shikan, fearless due to parental backing, appeared with a look of coming to discuss work, making Mu Zhiyang find it hard to intervene.

Jiang Yuan lifted his head slightly, absentmindedly rubbed his neck, asked: "Any breakthrough with Yue Hongxu?"

"He gave up a few more names; I sent them to Dai Zhi. But, Yue Hongxu is basically tapped out." Wei Shikan said somewhat regretfully, asking Jiang Yuan, "What are you working on?"

"Confirming the evidence for Zhang Lei’s murderer." Jiang Yuan said.

"Who?" Over the last few days, Wei Shikan encountered too many names and couldn’t register it immediately.

Liu Jinghui approached with a cup of hot water, coughed twice, and said, "A member of the Luo Jin City vibrancy organization, had heavy-duty delivery sent to him, talks broke down, so he dragged the guy to deserted land outside the Lanyue City film city. That led to this wave, right?"

"Oh, oh... oh... that Zhang Lei!" Wei Shikan suddenly recalled, then in surprise asked, "Who’s the killer?"

"The three delivery underlings." Jiang Yuan shrugged and said, "Within Heavy Duty, it’s like multiple gangs; this one deals with standard equipment for mine owners and lively organizations... high-net-worth criminals, strictly managed. Delays in delivery incur deductions, beatings, even death. The three talked with Zhang Lei for so long, nearly missing their return time, unfamiliar with Luo Jin City, so they fled back to Lanyue City with the body."

"Came back to dump it near the film city?" Wei Shikan couldn’t help but say: "That’s even less reliable than me."

Liu Jinghui shook his head and said, "They dumped the body near the film city, prepared to get an engineer shovel or something from the studio, to dig a pit. But two of them still had to pick up more goods, couldn’t delay, and the other one partied with his nightlife girlfriend for three days and nights, too weak-legged to crawl over. By the time the other two came back, ready to dig the pit together, the jig was up."

Being young, Wei Shikan was extremely curious: "Number three was a rooster, what’d he do in three days and nights?"

"The focus now is to solidify the suspicion on the three." Liu Jinghui pulled Wei Shikan’s attention back.

Jiang Yuan nodded.

Wei Shikan paid no heed, pondered for two seconds, slapped his thigh: "Time to pop some champagne!"

"Half-time champagne, huh!" Liu Jinghui gestured: "Moreover, Old Dai of yours is nearly going crazy, how could he possibly spend on champagne for you."

"Then red wine will do; I have plenty at home, can bring over a few cases." Wei Shikan was saying this as he pulled out his phone.

Liu Jinghui hurriedly stopped him: "Drinking isn’t appropriate either!"

"Then... sushi it is, I have a little brother with a sushi chain, let him send over a batch of sushi!" Wei Shikan said this time as he began making a call.

Liu Jinghui glanced at Wei Shikan, then at Jiang Yuan, sensing an odd sense of déjà vu.
