Tiandi Baiju

The car was parked on the outskirts of Wan City, outside a construction site under development.

Du Jing originally wanted Zhou Luoyang to continue sleeping in the car, but the closing of the car door woke him up.

Zhou Luoyang yawned and looked at Du Jing sleepily, with a little irritability in his eyes.Du Jing had no choice but to make a "silence" gesture, gave up his plan to go to the meeting alone, and led Zhou Luoyang around the construction site.

"How do you know it's here?" Zhou Luoyang realized that he had too many questions.

Du Jing replied: "News."

"Is this a project developed by your company?" Zhou Luoyang asked.

Du Jing replied: "Buy it? I'll give you a [-]% discount."

Zhou Luoyang said: "There is still a [-]% discount for unfinished buildings, why not grab it."

Du Jing was a little surprised: "You know everything?"

Zhou Luoyang replied, "Look at the environment."

Rows of workers' dormitories transformed from containers were not lit, and carts were left lying around.

Du Jing didn't dare to take the construction site elevator, fearing that the sound would startle people, so he walked up the concrete stairs poured inside the scaffolding.Everything was silent, the wind was whistling, and it was raining lightly.

"Yu Jianqiang owns shares in Fumao Real Estate," Du Jing said in a low voice, "I suspect that he is related to the two murders... this way."

Zhou Luoyang didn't ask Du Jing why he wanted to investigate Yu Jianqiang. The current information was enough for him to judge many things: Du Jing might be working as an undercover agent in Yu Jianqiang's company to collect some important information.

"Which two incidents?" Zhou Luoyang asked.

Du Jing said: "The first case was the suicide of his married partner. 19 years ago, he made his fortune from his father-in-law's assets and married the daughter of the owner of a waste collection center."

"I have heard," Zhou Luoyang replied, "The 'big brother' he said."

"After nine years of marriage, the original wife committed suicide by taking a large amount of sleeping pills due to depression," Du Jing said. "The couple's property was inherited by him."

"Ah."

Du Jing stretched out his hand and held Zhou Luoyang with his ungloved left hand. While carefully walking up the stairs without guardrails, he looked up and judged Yu Jianqiang's whereabouts based on the faint skylight at night.

"After getting the capital from my father-in-law, I slowly made a fortune, and started a real estate business with two partners. The company's accounts were not clean. After that, there was a problem with the capital turnover, and it was urgent to go public and start financing. But the financing The goal was inconsistent with the ideas of one of the partners, Wang Ke, who knew many secrets about the accounts, and Yu Jianqiang took it upon himself to suspend the listing."

"But six months later, that is, at the beginning of last year, Wang Ke took care of a lover and rented a suite in Dongshan District. The lover's boyfriend came to the door, and the two sides fought, and Wang Ke was strangled to death on the spot."

Zhou Luoyang: "Do you suspect that Yu Jianqiang arranged all of this?"

Du Jing avoided answering: "After Wang Ke's death, Yu Jianqiang restarted the financing and listing plan."

"What floor is it?"

"It's still early," Du Jing looked up at the roof, and replied, "Take a rest when you're tired, there's still plenty of time."

"Where's the criminal?" Zhou Luoyang asked, leaning against a square concrete pillar.

"I ran away," Du Jing said. "The last time I got the news, I went to Papua New Guinea and couldn't catch it. They hid the body in the refrigerator of the rented house, and it took more than a month to find it."

Zhou Luoyang said: "This is unreasonable. How could such an important position as a company director be discovered after disappearing for a month?"

Du Jing used his fingers to peel off some of the green gauze on the scaffolding and looked out, and replied: "Wang Ke seldom took care of the company's affairs in the later stage. Theoretically, Yu Jianqiang didn’t notice when he sent messages with the company and his family on his mobile phone.

Zhou Luoyang: "So you suspect that he killed his first wife first, and then killed a partner."

Du Jing said: "These two partners were both descendants of his father-in-law. This is indeed something he can do."

"Why did you take over this case?" Zhou Luoyang asked, "Because his wife suffered from depression more than ten years ago?"

Du Jing didn't answer, but in the darkness, Zhou Luoyang could feel his hesitation.

"Go on after the rest."

Finally, Du Jing said.

The roof of the unfinished building has not yet been sealed, and the rain is falling. Zhou Luoyang climbed up the 26th floor panting, but was held by Du Jing's strong hand, and the two hid under the stairs between the 26th and 27th floors.

Yu Jianqiang has arrived.

Zhou Luoyang looked up through the gap between the wooden boards, and Du Jing gently waved his hands.

"Don't do anything." Du Jingji whispered, knelt down on one knee, put one arm around Zhou Luoyang's shoulder, took out the recording pen, and opened it.

Zhou Luoyang sat cross-legged on the ground.

"Don't say anything?" Du Jing leaned closer to Zhou Luoyang's ear, breathing very close.

Zhou Luoyang signaled that you were not recording?Du Jing replied: "I can erase it when I go back."

Zhou Luoyang waved his hand lightly. He still had a lot to ask, but he knew that Du Jing didn't want to hide it from him. In fact, Zhou Luoyang was very happy to meet him again after many years of absence.Three years later, he has become more restrained than before. There is no other reason. Du Jing's mind is very sensitive. If it happens again, Zhou Luoyang may scare him away.

"I'm about to fall asleep," Du Jing said, "Say something to refresh yourself."

Zhou Luoyang only said one sentence: "Will you leave when you come back this time?"

This question was really refreshing, Zhou Luoyang could even feel that Du Jing's hand on his shoulder was visibly tightened.

"You hope I don't leave?" Du Jing said.

"I've always hoped so." Zhou Luoyang replied.

However, before Du Jing could respond, footsteps sounded again, and the blackmailer finally arrived.

Du Jing pressed Zhou Luoyang's shoulder, and quickly dodged behind another pillar.Two men came, and without noticing their trail, they climbed up the stairs above Zhou Luoyang's head one after another, reaching the top floor of the 27th floor.

Zhou Luoyang called. After looking at it, it was Le Yao who called. He hung up the phone, knowing that it was an emergency.

Du Jing put away the recording pen, hid in the darkness, and went up to the uncapped rooftop on the 27th floor.

"This is the last touch." Yu Jianqiang pulled up his hood to block his face, with his gym bag at his feet.He took a deep breath and said in the rain, "Where's the stuff?"

The leading man took out an envelope, Yu Jianqiang took it, opened the envelope, took out a USB flash drive and looked at it.

"The money is in the bag." Yu Jianqiang replied, and was about to turn around and go downstairs when another man blocked the stairs.

At first the man said: "Don't be in a hurry, how about talking to Mr. Yu?"

Yu Jianqiang said: "Go back and tell your bosses, if you want it again, everyone will die."

"Look at yourself," the man laughed. "Where do you look like the CEO of a listed company? We are also following orders, smoking one?"

As he said that, the man took out a cigarette and handed it to Yu Jianqiang. Yu Jianqiang hadn't smoked for a long time, but he still took it.

The man himself did not smoke, and threw the empty cigarette case and matches on the ground.

Yu Jianqiang took two puffs and suddenly said, "I really didn't kill Wang Ke."

"That little car model was introduced by you," the man said, "You already knew that he was dead."

Yu Jianqiang defended himself impeccably, and said, "I really don't know."

The man said lightly: "Then why don't you go to the police?"

"I said I didn't know!" Yu Jianqiang said angrily, "What relationship do I have with him? Is it worth doing this?"

The man walked aside, touched his head, and said thoughtfully: "Besides this record, he also talked about you with other people, do you want to see it?"

Yu Jianqiang suddenly became nervous again, the man smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, you don't need money, we always keep our word, and you have already got a lot, this record is a bonus."

As he said that, the man took out another plastic folder and pointed at Yu Jianqiang.

Yu Jianqiang asked vigilantly, "With whom?"

"With your wife," the man said, "ten years ago."

Yu Jianqiang: "..."

The man seemed quite interested, and said, "Brother, your shady hobby covers a wide range of subjects, and you won't even let go of your brother who made a fortune with you."

Yu Jianqiang walked towards the man, stretched out his hand, and the man guarding the stairway came over to prevent Yu Jianqiang from robbing, but the man waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, and said, "We have to keep the records for emergencies."

Yu Jianqiang was about to explode with anger. Ever since he was targeted by this group of people, he had been blackmailed endlessly. He thought everything would be over today, but unexpectedly there will be a follow-up!Wang Ke looked at it, as if he had become a ghost, following behind him lingeringly.

"I didn't kill the person." Yu Jianqiang panted, and roughly grabbed the folder with his hands. The man was polite, took out his mobile phone, and illuminated him. Yu Jianqiang's expression changed when he saw it—that was the content of the short message ten years ago. , I even found this?

"Wang Ke didn't slander you, did he?" The man said seriously, "I heard that you found a little boyfriend today?"

Yu Jianqiang raised his head, eyes full of fear.But the next moment, the man said: "Okay, finally confirmed."

After the words fell, Yu Jianqiang suddenly felt the danger, maybe it was the murderous intent in the man's eyes, maybe it was the intuition that came from the moment of life and death.

He stepped back suddenly, but bumped into another man behind him, and then the man locked his arm, took a step forward, pressed his shoulder, and dragged him to the edge of the roof!

Yu Jianqiang: "Save..."

"Goodbye." The man said cleanly.

Yu Jianqiang's pupils suddenly dilated, and half of his body leaned out of the roof, facing the concrete floor below the 27th floor.

Zhou Luoyang paid attention when he heard about him, but he didn't expect the accident to happen so quickly!

But Du Jing's reaction was faster than him. He suddenly appeared from behind the cement room on the roof, stepped on the rain, slid a step, stretched his legs and hooked, the two of them lost their balance suddenly, never expected that there were people here!

Yu Jianqiang turned over and almost fell, but he clung to the edge tightly and turned up.

A man immediately said: "There are still people!"

"Go!" The leading man shouted.

Du Jing put one hand on the ground, and suddenly kicked the leader, Yu Jianqiang hugged that person from behind, pushed him away, rushed forward, grabbed the other person, and kicked him!

Zhou Luoyang rushed up to the top floor, Du Jing said, "Go back!"

"Du Jing?!" Yu Jianqiang said in shock.

Yu Jianqiang rushed forward, picked up the bag, swung it out, and the gym bag with 60 cash in it swept across. Zhou Luoyang just went up to the top of the building when he heard a scream. One, fell off the roof, and screamed in fear.

At that moment, Zhou Luoyang's blood seemed to freeze, Du Jing immediately grabbed Zhou Luoyang and took him aside.

Yu Jianqiang staggered and grabbed the bag full of cash, and then there was a "bang" from downstairs.

Zhou Luoyang: "..."

The four people on the roof were silent at the same time, and the servant who had come back slowly retreated, and then staggered away from the stairs.

None of the three chased after them, so what if they caught up?

Yu Jianqiang's voice trembled: "He... fell to his death?"

Du Jing didn't answer, standing in the rain like a ghost, Zhou Luoyang hid behind Du Jing, his mind was full of: dead? !What should we do now?

This was the first time in his life that he witnessed a murder scene with his own eyes. The chill instantly enveloped his whole body, and every pore and every inch of his skin felt the attack of fear that followed before death. Luoyang's collar dripped down, making him shudder.

"Who pushed him just now?" Yu Jianqiang's voice trembled uncontrollably.

"You," Du Jing picked up the plastic folder on the ground, stuffed it into Yu Jianqiang's arms, patted him on the shoulder, and replied, "You pushed him out."

Yu Jianqiang said: "He was standing on the side just now, and I... accidentally bumped into him." After speaking, he immediately realized: "Who else? The one behind, who are you? Come out and let me see? Du Jing, How did you come?"

"You'll die if I don't come," Du Jing replied coldly, "Didn't you see that they were trying to push you down just now?"

Yu Jianqiang finally came back to his senses, panting: "When did you follow? Why didn't I find you? You... who are you?"

Zhou Luoyang replied, "Me."

Du Jing glanced at Zhou Luoyang, thought for a while, and said, "He calculated that you will have a disaster tonight, so let me go back to the company to see you."

Zhou Luoyang thought in his heart: Hello!Can you be more serious?

The moment Yu Jianqiang saw Zhou Luoyang, his whole body seemed to collapse, kneeling on the ground, his hair was already soaked.

Du Jing said indifferently: "We just came, we didn't see or hear anything, so we left."

"Xiao Du," said Yu Jianqiang, "wait...wait."

"Rainwater will flow down the stairs and wash away the footprints," Du Jing said, "Don't take the stairs anymore, take the elevator down."

Yu Jianqiang took a deep breath and tried his best to calm down. Du Jing glanced at the empty cigarette case and matchbox on the ground, pressed the construction site elevator with his gloved right hand, took off his suit jacket, spread it on the floor, and stood up together with Zhou Luoyang.

Yu Jianqiang looked at Du Jing, but Du Jing still looked indifferent. Zhou Luoyang looked at Yu Jianqiang, and then at Du Jing.

The elevator kept going down.

"Mr. Yu," Du Jing said, "I will ask for a day off tomorrow."

"Yes." Yu Jianqiang said, "You...you can rest at home for a few days, and I will arrange for you to go abroad?"

"No need," Du Jing said lightly, "I didn't push people down."

"I will find a solution immediately." Yu Jianqiang replied.

Yu Jianqiang was full of thoughts, and his mind was full of what the gang of extortionists did. He didn't even notice that Du Jing's calmness was a bit unreasonable, which was a big violation of his usual assistant status.

"Want to take a look?" Zhou Luoyang asked.

When the elevator reached the first floor, the ground was covered with mud and water, and the footprints of workers were everywhere. The person who fell to his death was only 20 meters away.

"No," Du Jing said, holding Zhou Luoyang's hand all the time, "there is blood on the ground, and it was easy to leave footprints in the past."

Naturally, this was for Yu Jianqiang to hear, but Du Jing was really overwhelmed. At this time, Yu Jianqiang was given courage, and he didn't dare to check it rashly.

Yu Jianqiang quickly put away the plastic folder and asked, "Are you driving?"

"It's parked outside the construction site, far away." Du Jing said politely, "Where's Mr. Yu?"

"Take my car back?"

Yu Jianqiang has become a frightened bird, as if Du Jing has become the boss at this moment, and he is the follower.

"No need." Du Jing said, "Good night, Mr. Yu."

They walked two streets, and the moment Zhou Luoyang got into the co-driver, he began to pant violently.

"Scared?" Du Jing started the car, turned his head, glanced at Zhou Luoyang, took off his gloves, put it in gear, and touched Next Zhou Luoyang's forehead.

"Are you going to call the police?" Zhou Luoyang answered after panting.

"No," Du Jing said, "I didn't kill people."

Zhou Luoyang said: "This is joint responsibility!"

Du Jing lowered his hair and said, "Someone will deal with the aftermath."

Zhou Luoyang turned his head and glanced at the glowing screen on Du Jing's phone. Seeing that the chat contact was "Boss", Du Jing only sent two words: "Sleeping?"

Zhou Luoyang thought to himself: Du Jing must be organized.

"But there were only the three of us present!" Zhou Luoyang said, "Is there any evidence? It's useless for me to be a witness."

Du Jing took out the recording pen, showed it to Zhou Luoyang, and raised his eyebrows.

Zhou Luoyang: "..."

Du Jing turned off the recorder and said, "Yu Jianqiang himself admitted it."

Zhou Luoyang was still suspicious, suddenly turned his head and asked, "Have you ever killed someone?"

"No." Du Jing said politely, and drove the car away from the suburbs, "Pay attention, we didn't kill anyone tonight."

"Why are you so calm?" Zhou Luoyang asked in disbelief, as if he had met a completely different Du Jing, but when he thought about it carefully, the Du Jing back then seemed to be like this.

Du Jing was driving the car intently. Zhou Luoyang said, "Fingerprints, footprints... You handled the crime scene too carefully. You were a little calm..."

Zhou Luoyang wanted to say "You're so calm that I'm a little scared", but after thinking about it, he didn't say it.

"With you by my side," Du Jing said, "I have to stay calm."

Zhou Luoyang: "Where did you learn it?"

Du Jing replied calmly: "A training class, I only studied for three months, and I'm selling what I'm learning. It's a joke."

Zhou Luoyang: "..."

At this time, a phone call came from the car. Du Jing signaled Zhou Luoyang not to speak, and connected to the bluetooth speaker. There was a steady middle-aged voice.

"What?" said the man.

Du Jing said: "After getting the contents of the safe, Yu Jianqiang killed someone on the construction site."

"Tell me what happened."

Du Jing drove the car and recounted the whole thing. The process was very methodical. The man listened halfway and interrupted: "You are the only one in the car?"

Du Jing said without changing his face: "Yes." Then he started to ambush Yu Jianqiang and finished the whole process.

The other side just said: "Understood."

Du Jing said: "The old place collects things, please deal with the murder case, I will ask for leave tomorrow."

"What are you doing on leave?" said the other end of the phone, "Go back and monitor Yu Jianqiang."

"Sleep," Du Jing said, "I haven't slept in three days."

He hung up the phone without saying anything. Zhou Luoyang was in a very complicated mood. Seeing the car driving into the city, the rain stopped at [-]:[-] in the morning.Du Jing rolled down the car window and threw the document bag that Zhou Luoyang took out of the safe while driving. It was extremely accurate and fell into a trash can on the side of the road.

"What about now?" Zhou Luoyang asked.

"Send you home." Du Jing replied.

Zhou Luoyang said, "Come to my house and sleep with you for a while."

Du Jing didn't answer, Zhou Luoyang asked again: "Where do you live?"

"The dormitory arranged by the company." Du Jing replied casually.

"live alone?"

"There are roommates, little boys."

Zhou Luoyang didn't ask any more questions. Du Jing thought for a moment, and then said, "It's a bit like you back then." After speaking, he gestured and added, "Just a little bit, just a little bit."

"Which point?"

"There's always not enough money at the end of the month."
