Chapter 407 Suspect Pu Xiangchen

“Do you still remember how we ascertained Fu Wenhai’s order to Hu Xiaolin?”

“Hu Xiaolin sent some guys to kill Pu Xiangchen. But one of them didn’t make it because of illness. Lu Song’s subordinate found him and forced him to tell the truth. Moreover, Hu Xiaolin also mentioned it when he resisted arrest. What’s up?”

“According to Tong Lean, since the police began to monitor Rongsheng and Wenhai Building Materials, he had contacted Fu Wenhai less frequently. Recently, they indeed contacted through Hu Xiaolin, the garbage sorter. Meanwhile, Hu Xiaolin was also a performer of the task given by Fu Wenhai. But about killing Pu Xiangchen, Tong Lean said for certain that Fu Wenhai was unlikely to give such an order.”

“Why is he so sure?”

“Because Angelic Music website and the virus were both operated by Pu Xiangchen. He worked for Fu Wenhai too.”

“What?!” Fu Zhengzheng can’t believe that.

“I didn’t believe either when I just knew it, but Tong Lean doesn’t need to lie to us at all now. I think we have fallen into someone’s trap.”

“Now Pu Xiangchen and Fu Wenhai are both dead. Dead men can’t tell tales.”

“We found Pu Xiangchen’s car at the crime scene in the wood. One corpse was burnt beyond recognition. The other one was Pu Xiangchen’s mother. The one burnt beyond recognition was of the similar figure as Pu Xiangchen, and a ring carved with his name was found on his burnt finger, so we…”

Fu Zhengzheng interrupts He Menghuai anxiously, “You suspect that corpse wasn’t Pu Xiangchen? You suspect the order that Hu Xiaolin received from the so-called Fu Wenhai was false? Pu Xiangchen put on a show?”

“Yes. According to Pu Xiangchen’s computer skill, he wasn’t supposed to be found by Fu Wenhai in such a short time. Fu Wenhai was not likely to give the order of killing Pu Xiangchen early next morning or escape so quickly. I think Pu Xiangchen must have leaked some information of the police intentionally to him in an exaggerated way. Tong Lean said Fu Wenhai usually trusted Pu Xiangchen. I suspect it was he that leaked the news to the minority shareholders that Tong Lean had transferred most funds of Rongsheng Group. It’s confidential.”

Fu Zhengzheng recalls that Xu Wei and Pu Xiangchen didn’t recognize each other when they met, so she agrees with He Menghuai, “You have a point. Report to Yang Tao and Muxian right now.”

“Well, I’d like to, but some main leaders of the municipal government came here just now. It’s said that they come to commend us for the coffer. Captain Yang and Captain Ji probably have switched their cellphone into the mute mode. I don’t dare to enter rashly.”

“It’s not yet the time to commend us. The case hasn’t been finished.”

“It’s the most important thing for them that the coffer has been found.” He Menghuai says resignedly, “Funds of Rongsheng Group and Wenhai Building Materials may be confiscated. Is there anything that can make them happier?”

“Then let’s wait for them to come out.” Fu Zhengzheng hangs up the phone helplessly.

Zhu Ting opens her eyes wide to stare at her, “I saw Fu Wenhai throw the paper with a message into the garbage bag and then put it into the garbage can. The old man carried the garbage straight to the waste transfer station in the community. Hu Xiaolin sorted the garbage. You’ve checked the surveillance video of the community. No one else touched the garbage in the process. If Fu Wenhai wouldn’t kill Pu Xiangchen and Hu Xiaolin is one of his loyal subordinates, that old man may be suspectable. Captain Yang has investigated him, hasn’t he?”

Fu Zhengzheng thinks there is something wrong too. She calls Lu Song immediately and sketches her suspicion of the old man. Lu Song understands her meaning instantly and says he will send someone to inquire.

After hanging up the phone, she intends to go out. Zhu Ting stands up at once, “Sister Fu, where are you going?”

“I’m going to verify Pu Xiangchen’s identity.”

“I’ll go with you.”

“The case hasn’t been settled, so you can’t expose your identity. Either ask for a two-day off to rest at home or go back to work in the law firm.”

Zhu Ting thinks it’s reasonable, so she nods and leaves.

Fu Zhengzheng manages to get Xu Wei’s contact information. She calls him, tells her identity to him and then explains her intention. Xu Wei agrees to cooperate without hesitation. Then she sends Pu Xiangchen’s photo cut from the surveillance picture to him. He replies soon: That person isn’t his schoolmate Pu Xiangchen.

Though prepared psychologically, Fu Zhengzheng can’t help gasping. It seems that the true Pu Xiangchen might have died two years ago. Perhaps his blind mother was threatened and bribed by the fake Pu Xiangchen, so she had to cooperate. After all, she is only a blind old lady.

Maybe when Pu Xiangchen approached her by the chance of catching the thief, he had a motive, which was to fool the police to fix eyes on Fu Wenhai and then scheme against him.

The fake Pu Xiangchen has hidden himself for two years with the purpose of framing Fu Wenhai? How deep he hid himself!

What kind of hatred did he have for Fu Wenhai so that he framed the latter in this way?

Maybe he is only a pawn in the game? It’s so complicated that he can’t put on the show alone.

Who stands behind him?

Fu Zhengzheng thinks for quite a while but still can’t figure it out. She tries calling Yang Tao. Unexpectedly he answers the call. She briefs him on the situation.

Back to the office, she racks her brains to think about what happened these days and sorts her thoughts slowly.

Her cellphone rings again. The call is from Han Siqi.

“What happened this time?” She asks anxiously.

“What happened to you?” Hans Siqi asks her instead and his voice sounds nervous.

“I’m all right.”

“Glad to hear that.” Han Siqi sighs with relief, “Are you tired?”

“Tired? No, it’s just morning.”

“You are so energetic after a sleepless night. You’re a workaholic.”

Fu Zhengzheng laughs embarrassedly, “Did I bother your sleep last night?”

“You tossed and turned in my arms. Do you think I could have a sound sleep?”

“Then take a nap in the lounge after lunch.”

“I’ll pick you up after work. Then we go home for lunch and sleep together in the afternoon.” Han Siqi grins in the end.

Understanding Han Siqi’s implication, Fu Zhengzheng flushes and spits, “Don’t I have to follow disciplines at work? Can I go away as freely as you?”

“Then ask for leave.”

“Ask for leave? I’m not ill. What’s my excuse?”

“Sleep with your husband.”

“Bother! Only you can come up with such an absurd excuse. You call me to chat now. Is it because you have too little work to do after Zhongxu is back?”

“Why don’t you say it’s because I miss my darling?”

“I didn’t find you would miss me so much before.”

“I miss you every day, but I didn’t use to say that all the time. By the way, Lu Song just told me the old man collecting garbage in Fu Wenhai’s community went back to their hometown in the countryside with his son. They went back to the hometown at this special time. It seems they are indeed suspectable.”

“Why does Lu Song report anything I ask him to do?” Fu Zhengzheng complains.

Han Siqi smiles, “He consults me for everything, asks me to weigh up the pros and cons and then obey my order. It’s a way to be fully responsible for your safety.”

“You have so many excuses.” Then Fu Zhengzheng asks, “By the way, have you guessed why I asked Lu Song to investigate them?”

“More or less. But please tell me the reason clearly.”

Fu Zhengzheng tells him the information she has got in detail.

“Thus, the father and the son may be in danger.”

Fu Zhengzheng sighs, “Probably. Alas, Pu Xiangchen and his mother have been dead. Now more people will die too. It’s unknown when the person behind the scenes will show up or when a completely peaceful life will be restored.”

“Let’s wait and see who benefits most after the downfall of Rongsheng and Wenhai Building Materials. Then we will know the answer. Darling, anyway, the coffer case has been done, and your task is finished. If you want to continue working, you can work in a relaxed way. If you don’t, you can stay at home.”

“I want to continue my work.” Fu Zhengzheng shows her attitude resolutely. She will never resign and become his breeding machine at home.

“If you want to continue working, it’s OK. Just work in the residency administration department. Don’t return to the vice squad. Don’t be involved in those things anymore. As you know, I will be worried about you.”

Fu Zhengzheng opens her mouth but doesn’t speak anything. Finally, she nods sulkily, “OK.”

He is clear about what she is thinking.

He has taken great pains for the coffer case. It’s not his obligation. In addition, he is the acting Chairman of Weihan Group now. He needn’t have done so much. She can’t be so selfish.

However, if she says she will continue helping Yang Tao with the case and tells Han Siqi not to offer help, he will not agree for sure, because he always doesn’t believe the police’s protection ability.

Fu Zhengzheng sighs in the heart.

In the afternoon, she gets no information from Yang Tao, so she asks for half-a-day off. Of course, she isn’t going to sleep with her husband. Instead, she goes to the hospital to see Tian Xin.

“Zhengzheng, news about the coffer can be seen on TV from morning to night. The news is also posted in quantity online. You’ve made great contributions! I think you will get an award on TV soon, right?” Once seeing Fu Zhengzheng, Sun Qiubo begins to shout.

Fu Zhengzheng smiles, “An award is unnecessary for us. It’s our duty.”

Sun Qiubo casts disdainful eyes to her, “Your tone is so bureaucratic and uncreative.”

Ignoring her, Fu Zhengzheng goes to Tian Xin’s bed and sits down on its edge. Looking at her pale face, she feels heart-broken, “Are you still uncomfortable now?”

Tian Xin shakes her head and forces a smile, “I’m OK, but I can’t walk.”

Sun Qiubo sits down on the other side of the bed and sighs suddenly, “Siqi has a policewoman wife. Recently he bustles around and remains in a state of anxiety for your case. Tian has a policeman husband. She has a miscarriage because of him, but he is too busy to accompany her. I want to give up and is going to break up with He Menghuai.”

Fu Zhengzheng and Tian Xin shout simultaneously, “How can you do that?”

Sun Qiubo presses Tian Xin down, “It’s my business. Why are you so excited? Watch out your body.”

Fu Zhengzheng glares at Sun Qiubo, “Your ideological awareness is too low. Police officers serve the people. Without us, how can you live a happy life? If everyone thinks like you, all policemen and policewomen have to remain single forever. Then who is willing to be a police officer?”

“The problem can be solved by matching policemen with policewomen.”

Tian Xin prevents Fu Zhengzheng from retorting with her eyes and smiles, “Siqi and I have boarded on the pirate ship and can’t disembark. It’s not late for you to go back on your words. But He Menghuai’s deep love is wasted. The policewomen that have a crush on He Menghuai will begin to gladly prepare breakfast and night snack again.”

Hearing that, Fu Zhengzheng bursts into laughter.

At this moment, the ward door is opened with a bang.
