I come from the abyss

In the suite of the Crown Hotel in downtown Xinzhou, in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, a woman in a tailored trouser suit folded her arms and listened to the communication on the other end of the Bluetooth headset.

"Isn't it better to die? Two opponents are missing."

The well-maintained black hair is meticulously tied behind her head. The woman speaks Cantonese, and the rhyme has a charm like smoke and ice, but the words she spits out are quite cold.

The other end of the bluetooth headset was talking excitedly. The woman frowned. Although she didn't care about the fear shown on the other end of the headset, she was careful to sail for thousands of years. Insufficient manpower, everything is quite constrained.

"The people who took the lead back then were all taken out of their bones afterwards. You have also witnessed the execution with your own eyes, and no one was left alive. The two cases of Lin Chengtao and Xiang Changrong were not necessarily seeking revenge for what happened back then... Not enough people survived. For fear, without participating in the core, nothing can be revealed."

"Okay, I know you are worried, don't worry, I can persuade Dad to let go and let you come back when I win the project. You are over there, and you can help me a little bit. What happened back then was not beautiful, so I let you go Dad doesn't have enough confidence in you or the Qingshan Project...so this time I don't have a lot of budget left, I still need capital injection, and it's also easy to manipulate, so that this project can only be discussed by us as a husband and wife—no one else can interfere!"

"You have to help me get enough funds."

The woman lowered her voice, quite viciously, and then softly, to appease the restless husband on the other end of the headset.

Ding Dong!

The doorbell kept ringing, and the woman subconsciously looked at the monitor, and saw a man in a black hooded sweater standing at the door, wearing a mask, unable to see his face, carrying a piano case, motionless waiting for her to open the door.

The woman's pupils constricted, and she rushed into the living room, took out a palm-sized pocket pistol from the suitcase and held it in her palm, picked up the phone, hesitated for a moment, then put it down, carefully moved to the entrance, swallowed nervously, and a ruthless look flashed in her eyes. color.

"Who?"

As soon as the words were finished, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the man on the monitor who suddenly pulled out his suppressed pistol and pointed it at the doorknob. The woman quickly retreated to the living room and hid behind the sofa before she had time to think.

The sofa was shot several times, and the soft inside popped out. The woman raised her pocket pistol and shot at the killer who opened the door. "Bang bang" several shots missed in a row, and a bullet pierced through the air, piercing her shoulder in an instant.

The woman didn't care about the severe pain, and quickly switched to her left hand to hold the gun. The next second there was a muffled sound, the left shoulder was pierced, and the scorching pain spread all over her body. The black muzzle of the gun was aimed at her forehead.

"Don't...don't kill me, please...don't kill me!"

The woman was extremely frightened and her body was stiff, so she couldn't see how embarrassed she was.

Looking at the killer from the front, he was slightly short and thin, like a teenager of sixteen or seventeen years old. He seemed to be thinking of letting her go when he heard the begging for mercy. He hooked off the black mask with his index finger, revealing an unexpectedly young baby face.

Seeing the killer's face unexpectedly, the woman closed her eyes in despair.

"Good morning, Ms. Yu Hongying." The killer smiled like a cunning fox, "Mister asked me to teach you a lesson, and by the way, 'Be obedient, don't stretch your hands too far'."

"!" The woman suddenly opened her eyes, her pupils constricted, her face was pale with panic, her lips moved: "It really was you... Xiang Changrong and Lin Chengtao were also killed by you?"

The killer raised his index finger to his lips: "Do your part, I'm not a professional problem solver."

Yu Hongying, the eldest lady of Wanyin Industry and also the general manager, lowered her head slowly, and said in a submissive tone, "I will withdraw from the bidding for Qingshan Project."

"Why do you want to quit? Ms. Yu Hongying may have misunderstood us. We don't care what business your Yu family does."

So why—

Yu Hongying suddenly realized something, she understood that this move was mainly a warning, but what was the warning?What did Zhao Yongjia do on Hong Kong Island to make people come all the way to Yuejiang to warn her?What did Xiang Changrong and Lin Chengtao do to bring about their murder?

"I see."

The killer put away the pistol and kicked the phone into Yu Hongying's hand: "Call the police or call an ambulance, it's up to you."

She left after speaking, too bluntly, Yu Hongying was stunned, and then trembled all over, her lips turned white from the pain, she hurriedly called an ambulance, and finally she did not lose too much blood and died.

***

The city bureau soon found out about Yu Hongying's attack, and Team Xing notified Li Zan to go for a routine questioning.

Li Zan and Lao Lin, the old police officer of the city bureau detachment in charge of the case, met at the entrance of the hospital and asked, "Yu Hongying took the initiative to call the police?"

Lao Lin: "Just take the initiative to call the police."

The implication is not.

"Xiang Changrong and Lin Chengtao are both the most powerful competitors in the bidding for the Qingshan Project. They both died unexpectedly. Wanyin Industry, represented by Yu Hongying, is also one of the strong competitors. People outside are guessing when Yu Hongying will encounter an accident. The media is watching Death is tight, so as soon as Yu Hongying entered the hospital, it was reported on the back foot, and the trending search could not be removed."

"Have our police officers contacted Yu Hongying and the person in charge of Changhong Real Estate?"

"The person in charge of Changhong Real Estate went to Yuejiang this morning. The police officers we sent successfully disclosed the suspicious points of the two cases to Changrong and Lin Chengtao. The other party was skeptical and sent the police. Contact the police immediately for protection.

As for Yu Hongying... no matter before or after the attack, she firmly refused the help of the police. "

"So tough? If it weren't for the reporter, I'm afraid she would have died before we found out."

"It was indeed our negligence this time...but Yu Hongying's resolute attitude explained the problem. I just used her attack as a starting point to investigate in depth." Lao Lin entered the elevator, touched the seam of his trousers, and became addicted to cigarettes. "Xiang Changrong and Lin Chengtao are both dead, only she is alive, perhaps because she reached some agreement with the real murderer behind the scenes, she was let out."

The elevator door opened, and Li Zan and Lao Lin stepped out together.

"Who is the person in charge of Changhong Real Estate?"

"Zhao Xi, a young master who often appears in Apple News for eating, drinking and having fun."

"Why isn't Zheng Haosi this time?"

"He is Mrs. Zhao's own son."

Zheng Haosi is Mrs. Zhao's cousin, after all, he is not as close as his son.

"Mrs. Zhao has always been in charge of the Qingshan Project. She is vigorous and resolute. She is very talkative in front of Mr. Zhao. Before handing it over to her cousin, she wanted to use the Qingshan Project as a stepping stone for her to enter Yuejiang City. Now she has sent her own son over here. At the same time, there is a professional team attached, without Zhao Xi's efforts at all, just to give him a good grade, so as to compete for the family property, after all, Mr. Zhao is in his late teens."

Yu Hongying lived in the VIP ward of a private hospital, and there were people blocking the way in front of her, and she had to register for interrogation, and she could only enter with consent, but the shooting was a serious matter, and the police could interrogate without Yu Hongying’s consent, even if she had to register, she had to go through a procedure. Embarrassing others hospital.

After registering, Lao Lin sighed, "Zhao Xi didn't participate in the Qingshanhongguan case five years ago, and he has the fewest clues."

Li Zan: "There are few clues and few involvements, which means that it is the cleanest and safest, but it is the easiest to become a breakthrough."

Lao Lin laughed and was noncommittal. He thought that focusing the investigation on Yu Hongying would give him better clues. Obviously, Li Zan believed that both parties could be the main entry point of the case.

Just as he was speaking, he came to Yu Hongying's ward. Two bodyguards were guarding the door. Seeing Li Zan reveal their identities, they knocked on the door to signal. After a while, the door opened, and Zhao Yanli walked out with a half-smile.

"Captain Li, what a coincidence." Zhao Yanli took the initiative to say hello, shaking the recording pen in his hand and said, "You are one step behind me."

Li Zan put his hands in his trouser pockets, was a head taller than Zhao Yanli, looked at her frivolously, and said in a heartfelt way: "The news about Yu Hongying's attack was your exclusive revelation?"

Zhao Yanli: "No one can run faster than me."

equal to default.

Li Zan suddenly turned around and asked Lao Lin, "Did the original report mention that Yu Hongying was shot?"

Lao Lin: "I mentioned it, why?"

Li Zan: "I remember that the Crown Hotel is the best hotel in Xinzhou District. It used to serve as a state guest hotel and entertained many bigwigs. There is nothing to say about the security. Although it was branded this time, the assailant has experienced many battles. How did a reporter slip in and find the injured Yu Hongying, and then just so happen to know that she was shot?"

Zhao Yanli's planned expression became more and more serious with Li Zan's reasoning, his heart sank, and he forced a smile: "The ambulance is at the entrance of the hotel, I happened to see it."

Li Zan: "Zhao Ji has good eyesight, can he see from such a distance?"

Zhao Yanli: "I use binoculars, standard equipment for journalists, you should know."

"I don't know." Li Zan shrugged: "I didn't know you were so far away from the ambulance, so I just said it casually, so it turned out to be correct."

Zhao Yanli lowered his face, moved out of the way, and walked quickly towards the elevator with the recording pen in his hands. At that moment, he suddenly understood that when facing Li Zan, it is best not to speak, so as not to fall into the opponent's pit.

Li Zan stepped into the ward with a blank face, and stood motionless at the end of Yu Hongying's bed. Lao Lin took the initiative to go forward and greeted Yu Hongying, who was as white as paper: "We suspect that the attack on you is related to the two murders. , please cooperate with the investigation."

Regardless of whether Yu Hongying called the police or not, as long as her gunshot wounds were known, she must be investigated by the police.

Yu Hongying put on a rather cooperative posture at this moment, and took the initiative to explain the details of her attack.

Lao Lin: "Pistols? Do you know that guns are illegal in China?"

Yu Hongying smiled: "That's an air gun...but I'm willing to accept the punishment."

Lao Lin: "Let's talk about the punishment. Why did the murderer let you go?"

Yu Hongying said helplessly: "How do I know? I can't figure it out either. I don't know who the murderer is at all... But he said at the time that this was a warning and told me not to stretch my hands too far. God knows I only do business, so I will inevitably offend you." People, but I never push people to a desperate situation, everyone in the circle knows my personality, and I can’t make money by driving people to death, what if I accidentally die and the net is broken?"

"I've guessed and guessed, and the Qingshan Project has caused criticism."

"Why is the Qingshan Project arousing criticism?"

"Don't pretend to be stupid, sir." Yu Hongying shrugged habitually. The severe pain caused by the gunshot wound made her froze. The Qingshan project has a lot of connections, and I was attacked again, how could I not associate it?"

"Do you have any clues to offer?"

"You want to ask about the Qingshan Project five years ago, right? It was arranged by my husband. You know the details better than me. But I think the purpose of the real culprit behind the scenes is not the Qingshan Project. the goal of……"

Yu Hongying lowered her eyes and did not show any strange emotions. Only she knew how crazy her heart was beating at this moment, and what a crazy gambling game she had participated in.
