Ling Ji's death was like a piece of bait thrown into the calm water, and the big fish who heard the news stirred up a raging undercurrent under the calm water.

He could no longer speak, which revived the minds of those who thought they were about to be brought to justice.

The most critical witness is no longer able to testify in court, so there is nothing to fear from the testimony of other witnesses.

Although some of the people involved in the case have already been invited to drink tea.

But, after all, none of these people who will be invited by Ling Ji to such and such a banquet is simple.

They have intricate personal connections in their long-term social life, and even formed an alliance of interests in years of business.

In these interest alliances that have already formed cobwebs in the dark, the transmission of news is much faster than other places.

And they believe that there is still a lot of room for manipulation before the court makes a judgment.

After all, if you don't find a way to fish out those people, you may be the next one to go in.

They understand better than anyone else the truth that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold.

After Ling Ji determined the cause of death, many entertainment companies, media companies, and even catering tycoons all started secret meetings in their office buildings.

Among them, the one that handles the most secretive matters and pays the most attention to the investigation of the cause of Ling Ji's death is a chain travel service company named "Brilliant".

Its business scope covers almost the entire city B, and was named the leader of the "Top Ten Service Enterprises" last year.

Brilliant Tourism never forces employees to work overtime, and treats ordinary employees very well.

It is already past their off-duty time, and there is nothing to be busy in the off-season of tourism.

However, the office building of Brilliant Tourism located in the city center is still dimly lit.

And the place where the lights are on is the brilliant conference room.

Although there are only a few old people sitting here in the conference room with sporadic lights, they are all the talkers of this company.

The only young man sitting on the tailgate, wishing he could curl himself up in the chair without daring to say a word, was also the second son of the chairman of the company.

However, he is not only one of the heirs of the brilliant tourism future, but also a college classmate of Ling Ji when he was studying abroad.

and.

He is also the first client of money and sex trading.

When he first returned to China three years ago, he made a deal with Ling Ji by taking advantage of the power he had just acquired.

At that time, he used the position of a spokesperson in exchange for a chic night with an [-]th-line starlet.

This matter does not actually involve specific money. After all, the choice of spokesperson can be interpreted for many reasons, and the time interval is relatively long, so it is difficult to find out.

But after he found out that even some people with stronger status than him were taken away by the police, Mr. Liu couldn't help but panic.

And the very serious and urgent public relations meeting of Brilliant Tourism tonight was actually prepared for him alone.

The old man sitting on the first seat gave him a hard gouged look, and let out a grunt.

Chairman Liu no longer looked at his useless son, but turned to another middle-aged man in his 30s.

"I've asked someone to ask. The Public Security Bureau is indeed full of iron drums. Whether we have any relationship with the police, it is difficult to have any room for manipulation."

"Besides, what era is it now, the drama of 50 billion detectives will not be staged here long ago."

The people from the public relations department also responded, "Dr. Liu, I don't think we have reached the point of desperation yet."

Then, he suddenly thought of something, and reminded: "Don't forget, there is another factor that this group of people must care about besides the truth."

The middle-aged man tapped the table with his index finger, while pondering for a moment.

Finally, he said leisurely, "The influence of public opinion...they dare not ignore it."

"Since the list of virtual idols broke out in front of at least millions of viewers, the turmoil related to it has never stopped."

"You also know that the purge and thorough investigation of the entire entertainment industry has lasted for more than half a month."

The audience fell silent.

It seems to be savoring another layer of meaning in the middle-aged man's words.

"Yes! Then why don't you help me find a way!"

Second Young Master Liu yelled in fear.

"Listen to what people have to say!"

Although Liu Dong's words were not loud, they were full of deterrent force.

Second Young Master Liu quickly shrank back obediently, not daring to speak out again.

"Don't pay attention to that brat, just keep talking."

The middle-aged man waved his hand nonchalantly, and said, "I mean, if the public opinion of the same level would bring enormous pressure to the Public Security Bureau, maybe they would disperse their energies..."

"Xiao Xu, we old fellows can only trust you to handle this matter."

Dong Liu sighed, and when the flickering lights reflected the wrinkles on his face, he seemed to have aged a lot in an instant.

"I only have their siblings at my knees, please take care of me. Otherwise... this prodigal son may really go to jail."

The middle-aged man sighed.

"Dad... don't worry, I will certainly find a way about this matter."

He is the executive president of this company—Xu Wentao, and also Dong Liu's son-in-law.

This change of title also made Liu Dong realize that he really took this matter as his own.

The wrinkles on Chairman Liu's face also relaxed a little, and he was not as heavy as before.

After all, Xu Wentao is also the brother-in-law of his family's bastard and the future heir of this company.

When Xu Wentao saw his father-in-law showing off his face, his thoughts became a lot heavier.

Now he and this group of old fellows have long been grasshoppers on the same rope.

Although Xu Wentao couldn't understand what his little brother-in-law was doing, it was uncertain that the police would find them one day.

Under the muddy water stirred up by Xingyi's downfall, not a single employer is innocent.

It depends on who can step on the other's shoulders and go ashore first.

Now, he can only try his best to deal with it, so as to prevent the company's stock price from falling again and again...

Although Xu Wentao already had some plans in mind, this method was somewhat desperate.

He hesitated for a long time, and finally made up his mind when he noticed Chairman Liu's expression looking at his son.

Xu Wentao cleared his throat and said in a low voice.

"Dad... I have a way. Although it's a bit risky, it might work..."

Chairman Liu's eyes suddenly lit up.

"tell me the story."

*

On the third day of Ling Ji's death amidst many doubts, public opinion in the society also began to ferment.

"This prisoner is fine, how could he be killed by a lawyer all of a sudden?"

"That's right. If he was killed, there should be an autopsy certificate."

"Could it be that the police are extorting a confession by torture? Ling Ji couldn't take it anymore, that's why..."

"I think the possibility of murder is more likely! After all, there are so many people involved in this matter, who is not sure who will...?"

"The police station is like an iron bucket. How could someone tamper with such an important witness under their noses!"

"Anyway, I don't believe that he would be killed so easily. The confession has already been made. Are you afraid of offending someone? He has been using that lawyer all the time, and he is one of his own!"

"Why is there no official result at all, is it possible that you want to tamper with some records!"

"There hasn't been a notification for three days, I'm terrified after thinking about it..."

In the beginning, some people who didn't understand why Ling Ji died suddenly expressed doubts about his attitude.

What's even more strange is that these posts questioning whether the Public Security Bureau has violated laws and regulations have sprung up like mushrooms overnight.

After those posts with obvious directional and guiding meanings were published publicly, follow-up posts demanding a full disclosure of the interrogation process also erupted like a blowout.

The bad orientation of public opinion this time is hard to control.

However, the Public Security Bureau of City B has been notified by the above, and cannot delete posts or block discussions on this matter.

However, in order to ensure the authenticity of the announcement, the Public Security Bureau of City B flooded out with related announcements that began to question the credibility of the announcement.

Even the public relations departments of some big companies and some newspapers called the Public Security Bureau one after another, hoping to find out the truth about Ling Ji's death as soon as possible.

The official account of the Public Security Bureau of City B, which has not released the case announcement for a long time, was also captured by public opinion.

Under the continuous pressure from all sides, even Director Jin and Captain Song of the Public Security Bureau of City B were called to take a walk up there.

Although these two people didn't say anything after they came back, the internal rectification of the Public Security Bureau of City B has quietly begun.

There was silence in the office of the director of the Public Security Bureau of City B.

The two people who looked at each other could sense that a bigger storm was already brewing.

As long as they reveal an inappropriate handling of this matter, the thunder will strike decisively, causing the situation to fall.

"Old Song, what do you think of this time?"

Director Jin, with his back to Captain Song, looked out the window with a solemn expression.

"Even our own people haven't read all of Ling Ji's autopsy reports..." Old Song sighed, "Because Ling Ji's death is so strange, no one can subconsciously not resist in the face of the other party's strangled neck. Now we The experts I found were more inclined that he committed suicide, and the lawyer's actions were just to block the camera..."

"Some experts are not strict enough, which has led many netizens to speculate that Ling Ji actually committed suicide...Suicide in a detention center is much more gimmick than being strangled to death by a lawyer, so many people want to know how far our investigation work has come, That's why the suspect is so...desperate."

"These people who put pressure on us in the name of letting us disclose the entire interrogation process are mostly just chasing rumors."

"As for their desire to force us to release the interrogation video, they just want to know how far our interrogation has progressed."

"That is to say, they don't know what clues we have in our hands, so they will join forces and take a slanted sword..."

Captain Song continued to analyze with a serious expression.

"It's just that... now the direction of public opinion is influenced by them, and it is not easy to reverse it."

"No matter what explanation we make now, I'm afraid it will affect the image of our police station..."

"Hey, we still don't have enough popularity and openness about our daily work."

Director Jin kicked the table hard while talking, and the reports on the table shook three times.

Now it's really a scholar who meets a soldier, and it's hard to tell why.

Sometimes they feel that the power of the government is extremely powerful, but at certain sensitive points of time, it seems that many people who are not strong enough to think independently choose to blindly believe in conspiracy theories.

Every official speech must be carefully considered, and the impact on the ongoing case must be considered.

This time difference has made those conspiracy theories even more rampant.

"If our case-handling process can be more popularized, they won't have the opportunity to take advantage of this loophole!"

"Young people nowadays are not interested in our old-fashioned preaching..."

Captain Song shook his head in disbelief, "Let's think about this matter first."

"So what do you think now?"

"It's better...we will suspend the investigation of this matter on the surface and set up a task force."

"At the same time, inform the public that we are concentrating on finding out the real cause of Ling Ji's death, and delaying the time as much as possible while reporting the progress every day."

"In this way, we can give them the illusion that we have been burned by this matter."

"As long as they are a little bit slack, we can take advantage of it and continue the investigation of the money-sex transaction case!"

"Your method is good, but the pressure of public opinion we are facing now is too great... If you follow your method, you will not receive more than [-] complaint calls a day."

"Public opinion, public opinion... hey."

The two smiled wryly at the same time.

These two wise old men who had fought against countless criminals couldn't think of any good way to deal with these simple two words.

They know that the public is expecting an explanation, and they know that the people behind it are betting that they dare not release the video clues.

In the current mixed form, the double-edged sword of public opinion may hurt itself when it is uncertain.

How can this deadlock be resolved?

*

"Have you heard? The superiors actually want to suspend the investigation of this case!"

After seeing the news after finishing get out of class in the vocal music room, Zhuo Yang hurried back to the dormitory and pushed open the door of the dormitory.

Panting, he brought the news back, but the behavior of the people in the dormitory was much calmer than Zhuo Yang imagined.

Joe nodded slowly.

"We all know about this."

Xiaobai sighed, "That's right, brother Zhuo, we are waiting for your return now to see if you agree with our idea."

Zhuo Yang was a little surprised: "Did you think of a way to deal with it so quickly?"

"It's an idea, but I don't know if it's a solution." Ye Yiwei said.

Zhuo Yang, who looked puzzled, was dragged in by Baijike, and the door of Xiu Si's dormitory was also slammed shut.

Snapped--

After a soft sound, a particularly dazzling light suddenly lit up in the extremely dark interrogation room.

The direction in which the light was projected was right in the eyes of the suspect waiting for interrogation.

Sitting on the side of the interrogator were Qiao Huan and Zhuo Yang, who were dressed in police uniforms and looked dignified.

As for Bejik, he sat in the monitoring room at the back and used various instruments to observe the detailed state of the prisoner sitting opposite him.

The four corners of the interrogation room were covered with surveillance cameras, and Bejik could have a panoramic view of this person's performance with a glance of his eyes.

As for Ye Yiwei, relying on a particularly cold expression, he managed to play the role of a small leader in this scene.

Although his age does not match the age corresponding to a big leader of the same level in reality.

But his face, which always appeared inscrutable, couldn't be more suitable for this position.

After a while of dialogue came to an end, Qiao slowly raised his head and looked at the other party.

"Suspect, so do you have anything to say about the above testimony?"

"If you have no objection to the interrogation process just now and the records we made, you can sign here."

As Qiao Huan spoke, he put his notebook in front of the female suspect.

The pale female suspect shook her head, took a look at the pen and wrote her name on the paper.

"Okay, thank you for your cooperation."

As soon as the camera turned, Qiao Huan, Bai Jike, and Zhuo Yang all walked out of the interrogation room.

Just as they continued to discuss the case based on the clues in their hands, there was a rush of footsteps in the corridor.

"Team Ye! Team Joe! It's not good! The suspect fainted out of nowhere as soon as he returned to his cubicle!"

A police officer suddenly stopped several people from moving forward, speaking out of breath.

Qiao Huan and Zhuo Yang looked at each other, and threw all the confessions in his hand to Baijike.

The two hurried into the compartment where the female suspect was temporarily held.

but.

When they arrived, they only saw the female suspect lying there with a livid face.

The woman lying on the ground had dilated pupils, her pulse stopped beating, and she was almost out of breath.

"Officer Bai, please call out the surveillance immediately, and call 120 immediately!"

Qiao Huan yelled loudly while trying to perform CPR on the female suspect.

But even though they had rescued her in time, by the time the ambulance arrived, all the vital signs of the female suspect had disappeared.

With a sharp sound from the heart rate monitor, the screen was plunged into darkness.

The screen lights up again.

Qiao Huan sighed a long while holding the investigation report written by the monitoring team, and turned to Bai Jike.

"The suspect forgot to take the medicine on time while waiting for the interrogation. When he became ill, he suffocated because the vomit blocked the trachea and eventually died."

"This result is together with the file. Remember to file all relevant documents without any mistakes or omissions."

"Afterwards, it will be handed over to the procuratorate. One of the responsibilities of the procuratorate is to supervise our police handling of the case. If such a situation occurs, there will be a third-party forensic doctor to make a further detailed autopsy report."

The words "three months later" quickly popped up on the screen.

The next scene is the scene where the character selected by the player takes the autopsy report issued by the forensic medical institution found by the procuratorate, and comes to the suspect's home to tell the family what happened.

"Tsk... I was careful enough this time, why did the witness die again?"

Berber, who had been immersed in this puzzle game for three days, threw his phone aside angrily.

This game is outrageously difficult, even for gamers like him.

A paragraph quickly flashed on the screen:

"The evidence collection process needs to be carefully preserved, and it is also necessary to pay attention to the suspect's physical and psychological state at all times."

"The protection of the suspect's human rights is also the focus of modern criminal investigation work. Whether it is all reasonable requests such as taking medicine, seeing a doctor, seeing a lawyer, etc., the public security organs should meet them under reasonable circumstances."

"This undoubtedly adds a responsibility to the modern grassroots police officers, but it is also a step we have to take in order to improve our country's rule of law system."

Bobo sighed.

It turns out that this game is not deliberately designed to be so difficult, but investigating cases in real life—especially investigating those high-profile cases, it is really so difficult.

And like answering Berber's words, the game results slowly scrolled on the screen.

"So, please believe—"

"Uncovering the truth is extremely difficult, but the French Open is wide open, and the clouds cannot hide the truth."

"Please be patient, there will be a day when the clouds will clear and the fog will clear."

……

During the public beta of the "Hello Sheriff" interactive puzzle game, Xiu Si not only exposed himself to the high-definition camera for the first time, but also shot several other public welfare short videos about the police station's publicity.

This game not only guides players to experience the evidence collection process and interrogation process of general criminal cases, but also allows them to enjoy the fun of solving cases.

Moreover, the specific functions of the procuratorate and the police station are also distinguished in the final link to make it more concise and easy to understand.

Originally, the variety show "Hello Sheriff" was very popular recently, but a joint game was released so quickly, which attracted the attention of many young people.

And game anchors like Bobo don't chase stars, but they don't miss this game outlet and start playing directly.

What everyone didn't expect was that this domestic game was out of the circle with super high difficulty.

Soon, as more and more young viewers either played by themselves or watched the "public welfare game" of various great anchors kneeling, their blood pressure was full, and the direction of public opinion finally reversed again.

"My God, I thought it would be easy to investigate and solve the case. I didn't expect so many police officers to work together. It's too difficult!"

"Yeah, not only is the method of obtaining evidence cumbersome, listening, monitoring, and even transferring call information and chat records have to be approved layer by layer..."

"Film and TV dramas are all deceptive. The criminal police are actually writers, right? It's really tiring. How many reports do I have to write every day..."

"Is it just me who noticed? The online world of this game is so realistic. During the criminal investigation, the people who like to stir up trouble the most seem to be the people related to the case!"

"Although it should not be substituted into reality, I think it is really similar to something on the Internet recently..."

"I'm bold, let me say first, someone is operating behind Ling Ji's matter, right? Did someone panic after being found out?"

"Now the case has been handed over to a third-party police station for joint investigation in different places, and the procuratorate has also intervened in advance. Even the daily progress of the case is updated in time. Things that cannot be done in the game have happened in reality. For the sake of credibility, City B really It's too hard..."

"The masses should pay attention to major cases, but they can't be used as weapons by some capital. Thank you Xiu Si and this game for reminding you."

"Reasonable doubts are OK, but those who are still following the rhythm blindly, please analyze the other party's composition rationally—"

Brilliant Tourism General Manager Office.

"That's what you said? What a shitty idea!"

The crutch in Chairman Liu's hand directly poked Xu Wentao's chest.

When he went out this morning, he not only saw his son being taken away by the police, but he himself was given a court summons.

"This matter is also approved by you, I..."

"Stop quibbling, I think you are just coveting my old man's family property!"

"Now that the second child has been taken away, you thought these things would be yours. Let me tell you, go live your big dream!"

Chairman Liu became more and more excited as he spoke, and swung the cane in his hand high.

But at the moment when his crutches were about to fall, two police officers holding police ID cards broke into the door.

They showed their arrest warrants with unseen determination, "The two are suspected of violating the "Public Security Management Punishment Law", please come with me."

The author says:

Xiu Si: The clearest time we showed our faces was playing the role of a policeman, fans, do you understand?

Luo Sifen: Got it, got it, you guys are so dedicated, you really look like a policeman!
