Lu Jin blinked and tried to pretend to be confused.
"… What do you mean I want him dead? What does his death have to do with me? "Lu Jin's gaze drifted as he looked out the car window at the night sky.
The street lamps drew a long, shining line under the night sky, pointing in an unknown direction.
The corners of Huo Shaoheng's mouth twitched. He gripped the steering wheel tightly and stepped on the accelerator. He sped the car forward for a distance before saying, "It's none of your business. Why did you use a fake ID to stay in Ishihara Baisan's room? And you stayed in the middle of the night. "
Lu Jin laughed and said proudly, "Mr. Peter, you have to have evidence to prove it. Go to the Dunhill Hotel and check. If you can find out my check-in records, I'll admit defeat. Even if you find out my fake ID, I'll admit defeat! "
Huo Shaoheng also smiled and said calmly, "There's no need to check the computer records. You left enough fingerprints and footprints in the room next to Ishihara Baisan's. These two alone are enough for the police in the imperial capital to lock onto your identity. "
Lu Jin was stunned for a moment. He let out a long "ah" and said in annoyance, "Hey! How could I forget about that! "
"If you can remember that, I'll admit defeat." Huo Shaoheng imitated Lu Jin's tone. "Your life has always been on the Internet. You pay more attention to eliminating your traces on the Internet, but what about the traces in your life? Don't forget, what can really convict you are the traces in your life. "
Therefore, not only did he spray the fire extinguisher, but he also messed up several uninhabited rooms to confuse the public.
"Convict me?!" Lu Jin didn't buy it. His face suddenly darkened. "I didn't do anything illegal! Why are you convicting me?! "
"You didn't do anything illegal? Then why did you go next to Ishihara Baisan's room in the middle of the night? And after you moved in, he died. You said it had nothing to do with you? "
Huo Shaoheng tilted his head to look at him and said, "… Nianzhi already knows that you came out at night. She has your location. "
"Huh?! How did she know?! Isn't she sleeping at this time?! "
As soon as Huo Shaoheng brought out Gu Nianzhi, Lu Jin's anger died.
His eyes darted around quickly, and his brain started working. He was thinking of a "perfect" excuse to fool Gu Nianzhi.
Huo Shaoheng couldn't help but gasp in amazement when he saw the way he rolled his eyes.
The power of inheritance was too strong …
After waiting for a while, Huo Shaoheng softened his tone and said, "Uncle Lu, please tell me the details. I don't want us to say different things later and give ourselves away to Nianzhi."
He added, "You know that Nianzhi will be able to detect the slightest mistake."
She could even see through Huo Shaoheng's disguise. In Huo Shaoheng's opinion, Gu Nianzhi's ability to "read people's thoughts and body language" was already on par with the top group of people in their industry.
The idea that Lu Jin had just thought of was like a balloon that had been pricked by a needle.
He weakly leaned back in his seat and let out a long sigh. "… Of course I have my reasons. Besides, I really didn't kill him. "
"… You didn't kill him, which means you didn't kill him, right?" Huo Shaoheng looked ahead quietly and said dryly, "But I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me. That's not completely without responsibility, right?"
"I'm just not responsible." Lu Jin snorted. "He was the one who had a guilty conscience and was exposed by me. He couldn't save face, so he committed suicide by cutting his stomach."
Huo Shaoheng recalled the condition of the body he had seen just now. It really looked like he had committed suicide.
The ground was covered in blood, and if he wasn't careful, he would get stained with it.
With Huo Shaoheng's skills and observation skills, he didn't get stained. If Lu Jin had entered that room, he definitely wouldn't have been able to avoid it.
Huo Shaoheng quickly glanced at the soles of Lu Jin's shoes.
Fortunately, the edges of the shoes were pure white and not stained by the blood at all.
Lu Jin must not have entered Ishihara Baisan's room.
The weight in Huo Shaoheng's heart was lifted, and he suddenly relaxed.
"Then how did he die?" Huo Shaoheng asked, "He couldn't have killed himself just because you told him to, right?"
Lu Jin revealed a mocking expression and said, "… That's about it. I exposed him for copying my experimental design decades ago."
Huo Shaoheng immediately thought of the small test tube and a few pieces of yellowed paper beside Ishihara Baisan's body.
It was obvious that Ishihara Baisan cared about these two things, because the place where he had placed them wasn't stained with blood at all.
Huo Shaoheng's heart skipped a beat. He pondered for a moment and tapped his fingers lightly on the steering wheel. After a while, he took out the small test tube and the yellowed paper and said, "Uncle Lu, do you know? Ishihara Baisan didn't die so easily. When he died, he left these two things in the best place beside him. They weren't even stained by the blood of his suicide. "
Lu Jin blinked. "You got them too?"
"Yes, what else? They were left there to give someone a clue. " Huo Shaoheng flipped his hand and put away the two things. "What do you think someone would think if they saw these two things?"
"What would they think?" Lu Jin understood and his face turned pale.
Huo Shaoheng enunciated each word, "… Would they first think that Gu Xiangwen isn't dead yet?"
"F * ck! He's too cunning! Ishihara Baisan actually had a backup plan! "Lu Jin was furious." That old fart! Turn the car around. I want him to die again! "
Of course, Huo Shaoheng wouldn't listen to Lu Jin's crazy words.
He drove calmly and waited for Lu Jin to calm down before comforting him, "Actually, it makes sense that he committed suicide after you exposed him for plagiarism. The Japanese always cared a lot about their reputation.
"But he wasn't willing to die just like that, so he tried to leave something behind. But by doing so, he also gave us a clue. "Huo Shaoheng glanced at Lu Jin." That is, Ishihara Baisan isn't alone. He should have accomplices. He placed these clues next to his body to remind his accomplices that Gu Xiangwen isn't dead, and he's here. "
Lu Jin hadn't expected Ishihara Baisan to try to set him up before he died. He gasped and looked at Huo Shaoheng with even more admiration. "Peter, you're indeed the KGB of the Soviet Union. You even thought of this! I think you're better than Boss Lu! "
Huo Shaoheng: "…"
"But why did you choose today to expose him for plagiarizing your experimental design?" Huo Shaoheng changed the topic again. He wouldn't let Lu Jin off so easily.
Through today's incident, Huo Shaoheng found two suspicious points.
First, why did Lu Jin expose Ishihara Baisan now and provoke him to commit suicide instead of making a move when he discovered that Ishihara Baisan had ambushed him decades ago?
Second, Ishihara Baisan wasn't alone. He had accomplices. But why did he have accomplices? Who were his accomplices? What were they doing together?
All of these secrets should be on Lu Jin.
Huo Shaoheng continued to ask, "According to what you just said, that happened decades ago. Why didn't you expose it decades ago and only expose it now?"
Lu Jin's excitement instantly faded like the tide. He lazily rubbed his temples and said, "I'm happy, can't I?"
"I was too busy a few decades ago to expose him. So what if I plagiarized it? What else can I do? "A cunning glint flashed across Lu Jin's eyes.
Huo Shaoheng happened to look up at the rearview mirror. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Lu Jin's eyes flashing and the faint smile on his lips.
"What about a few decades later? Aren't you busy anymore? "Huo Shaoheng asked with a faint smile.
"Yes, I'm hitting the child on a rainy day. I have nothing to do." Lu Jin laughed dryly and quickly said, "I'm joking, I'm joking. How could I bear to hit my precious daughter? Only someone as shameless as Ishihara Baisan wouldn't be a waste of time to teach him a lesson. "
"You still haven't answered why you suddenly exposed him decades later, and why did you choose to do it in the early morning of the first day of the new year?"
Huo Shaoheng wasn't someone who was easily fooled. He could always successfully return to the original topic.
Lu Jin was a little anxious by his question. He said angrily, "I don't like his appearance at the Spring Festival Gala, okay? What the hell! He actually came to our country to conduct genetic research! "
"Oh? Are you jealous of those who are capable? " Huo Shaoheng said deliberately, "You can't stand seeing someone who wasn't as good as you in the past, but now he's more famous and capable than you?"
Lu Jin opened his mouth and was about to say no, but he suddenly thought of what he was going to do. He pursed his lips tightly and said, "Yes, I'm just jealous of him. I can't stand it when I see that he's more famous and capable than me, so it's best if he dies."
The corners of Huo Shaoheng's eyes twitched imperceptibly.
Lu Yuan was right. Something was wrong with Lu Jin. Something was really wrong.
Huo Shaoheng just didn't expect that a small test tube and a few yellowed experimental designs would be able to provoke Ishihara Baisan into committing suicide. But that wasn't Lu Jin's real goal.
What exactly did he want to do?
