Chapter 164: The One Peddling the Information to the Reporters Is Ding Miao!

Captain Cui’s sentence caused the leader to start.

Lawyer Li was also confused. He felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the situation.

However, Shen Ruojing was composed. She calmly said, “I wish to see the corpse.”

“No problem.”

Captain Cui personally led them into the morgue. Before entering, he turned and looked at the leader and Lawyer Li who also wanted to follow them in. “You guys can just wait outside.”

“…”

Hence, the two could only watch helplessly as Shen Ruojing and Captain Cui entered the morgue.

Outside the door, the leader involuntarily looked at Captain Cui’s subordinate. “That little lady is acquainted with Captain Cui?”

He felt that he must have misheard things earlier.

Captain Cui was in his forties, yet he actually used the honorific ‘you’ when he addressed that woman?

The subordinate scratched his head. “I have no idea.”

The subordinate only knew about the existence of a mysterious character that could solve the case just by looking at the corpse. However, Captain Cui was the one responsible for contacting this person. He had never met her before.

Hearing this, the leader no longer spoke.

Lawyer Li nervously glanced at the entrance. He still wasn’t sure about what this situation was, hence, he quickly took out his phone and sent the news to Chu Cichen. [Miss Shen is brought into the morgue by the captain from the capital.]

Chu Cichen’s reply was very simple. [Understood.]

Lawyer Li. “?”

Understood?

So casual?

Before they came, Chu Cichen had especially called him into the office and instructed him to take good care of Shen Ruojing as she might not know the rules. He mustn’t let Shen Ruojing suffer in any sense!

–

Inside the morgue.

Captain Cui walked to the location where Yan Zihao’s body was stored and pulled the corpse out of the freezer.

If his subordinate was here right now, he would surely be so shocked that his jaw dropped.

Captain Cui was in his forties, exuding an imposing aura and having a powerful background. There was no need for him to treat anyone in the capital nicely before. When had he ever been so polite to someone?

He pulled the sack covering the corpse away, and only then did he look at Shen Ruojing. “Miss Jing, I’ve investigated the case. Although the suspect attacked the victim, his blows weren’t fatal unless the victim had a very weak body. However, the victim’s health report showed that he was in a very good state. Our forensic investigators couldn’t see anything wrong and have temporarily judged this as a case of someone being beaten to death. What do you think is the answer?”

When Shen Ruojing helped with police cases, she would tell others that her surname was ‘Jing’. This was why Captain Cui referred to her as Miss Jing. As for the fact that someone called her Miss Shen earlier…he tactfully didn’t ask too many questions about it.

Shen Ruojing had an indifferent expression. She nodded and started to survey the corpse closely.

An hour later.

Shen Ruojing, who had scrutinized the corpse from top to bottom, finally stood up straight. Her lips were tightly pressed together.

Captain Cui asked, “How is it?”

“I have a conjecture, but I need to do something to verify it.” As Shen Ruojing spoke, she took up a scalpel at the side and lightly cut the corpse’s stomach to get a sample.

“Okay.” After Captain Cui replied, he suddenly lowered his voice and asked, “The upper echelons sent us here to investigate this case. Could it be that the dead victim has a connection to the true thing we have to investigate?”

“This is precisely what I wanted to verify.”

Shen Ruojing placed the sample into a box she brought with her. “I’ll give you the answer in two days.”

“Okay.”

When the two of them headed out, they saw the unit leader, Lawyer Li, and Old Zhang standing there, waiting for them. After seeing the two of them, the leader quickly asked, “How is it? Are there new discoveries?”

Shen Ruojing didn’t speak.

Captain Cui knew that she liked to keep a low profile and didn’t want to be disturbed. Hence, he spoke, “Nope, we were just taking a look. Why are you guys crowding around here?”

The leader bitterly smiled, “Captain Cui, it is not that I want to rush you, but shouldn’t we quickly give a final judgment of the case? You guys have been in there for an hour and the entire internet is in chaos. In addition, someone reported to me saying that there are actually reporters blocking the entrance because they want to take photos of you guys!”

After saying that, he sighed. “I also have no idea who sent that video. That person is really immoral. For this matter, we didn’t do anything wrong, but because that person sent out such a video to influence public comments, we are pressured to deal with the suspect. However, isn’t the case still in the middle of being judged?”

Captain Cui’s expression turned solemn. “No rush, we cannot be pressured by public opinion. Public speech is allowed, but we cannot allow them to sway the truth of the case!”

After saying that, Captain Cui frowned again and spoke unhappily, “Also, all our affairs are to be kept a secret during the handling process. This video is clearly sent out by an internal personnel. I think you best clean your unit up and see who is the spy!”

“Yes, yes, yes. There must be someone colluding with the reporters for the sake of making a quick buck. Something like this is very hard to investigate as there are many people in the unit. Although those who will come to the morgue are not a lot, there are still people coming to and fro…” After the leader explained, he looked at Old Zhang and asked, “Old Zhang, your performance today is not bad. You didn’t allow the spy to capture anything that can be used against us!”

Old Zhang was an honest man. When he heard this, he didn’t dare to claim credit for it and he hurriedly expressed his stance. “It is all due to leader’s instructions. You got Little Ding to pass me a message. I would definitely obey it, so it is impossible for me to make a mistake!”

“…” The leader started. “Little Ding? Pass what message?”

Old Zhang immediately said, “Didn’t you ask her to tell me that these are special circumstances and we have to be strict when dealing with things?”

The leader. “??”

Shen Ruojing glanced at Captain Cui.

Captain Cui instantly understood something as he directly asked, “Who is Little Ding?”

Old Zhang also discovered something wrong from their expressions. “It is that assistant Ding Miao! Earlier, she said she was helping the leader to pass a message to me…”

“I didn’t get her to pass any messages…”

When the leader said this, he suddenly understood something and his expression turned extremely unsightly.

–

Never in her wildest dreams did Ding Miao expect that she would be exposed.

After all, she always did things in a very secretive manner and had specifically looked for a good location to sneakily take the video. Hence, after the leader called her over, she didn’t panic and explained, “Oh, I passed the message out of my own volition. I was afraid Uncle Zhang might not treat me seriously, hence, I used your name…”

She bit her lips and innocently continued, “I…it’s wrong that I lied…But because Uncle Zhang listened to me, he didn’t make a mistake or our unit would really be finished…”

Her words were tight.

Even Uncle Zhang believed her. “So, I should be thanking you?”

Ding Miao waved her hands. “No need for that. It’s enough as long as you don’t blame me for passing on false messages.”

Uncle Zhang immediately replied, “How can that be? If it wasn’t for you, I might have been muddle-headed and made a mistake…”

The leader frowned and was doubtful.

He couldn’t possibly assume that she was in cahoots with the reporters just because she lied. He couldn’t say for sure that she peddled confidential information in a secretive case.

But at this moment, Captain Cui entered the door and directly tossed the WeChat chatting record between Ding Miao and that reporter. He smiled coldly, “Your lies can be explained, but what about this chatting record? Now with the evidence here, I want to see how you can explain yourself!”

Ding Miao’s expression instantly changed.
