At seven o 'clock in the evening, in a high-end western restaurant in Yuyang District, Andu City.
Zhao Yu and Zhang Ling sat at a table by the window. Although there was a sumptuous meal on the table, the two of them were not in the mood to enjoy it. Their eyes were fixed on another table not far away.
"Look," Zhang Ling said. "That guy in the blue suit is Wang Zhen! I've already sent someone to check his medical records. His leg is really disabled. It's impossible that he did the Ghost King Case himself! "
"Mm …"
Zhao Yu took a closer look at the current chairman of the Chuankai Group. Although Wang Zhen was a middle-aged man in his forties and had a disability on his leg, he looked like a talented man with a dignified appearance.
Moreover, his every movement exuded an elegant aristocratic aura. It was obvious that he was not an ordinary person.
"The two people sitting next to him," Zhang Ling introduced, "are the two managers of the credit department of Chuanxi Bank. Recently, there was news that the Chuankai Group is going through a new round of financing and is preparing to bid for a few pieces of land in Andu …"
"Oh …" Zhao Yu nodded slightly and said softly, "All these years, the Shen family of Chuanxin has been suppressing the Chuankai Group, making the Wang family feel suffocated!
"Finally, there are no more obstacles. Shen Wenbin was killed, and now even the head of the faction, Shen Hao, has passed away. This is a good opportunity for them to make a comeback!"
"Yes!" Zhang Ling said softly. "With Shen Hao's death, the Chuankai Group will really be in a mess for a while!
"If Wang Zhen manages to get the funds and bid for a suitable piece of land, then the rise of the Chuankai Group is only a matter of time!"
"Humph, smart …" Zhao Yu said. "If the Ghost King Case is really related to Wang Zhen, then this is really a good move!
Actually, the Ghost King Case can still bring them great benefits, but it's not as obvious as it seems! "
"I also think that Wang Zhen is too suspicious," Zhang Ling said. "He thinks that because his leg is lame and his family has nothing to do with Tao Yulan, we won't suspect him!
"Just watch, the Ghost King Case was most likely done by him!"
Zhang Ling said. "You're right, this is really a ruthless move! Zhang Ling continued, "If he had only hired someone to assassinate Shen Wenbin, or committed any other crimes against Chuanxing Group, then the police would have suspected him very quickly!
"But when the Ghost King Case came out, it took away our train of thought!
"If it wasn't for you, we would never have imagined that this would be a business revenge!
"Also …" Zhang Ling gritted her teeth and said, "In the end, they found a scapegoat, Qi Hao. We almost fell for it …
"If we really close the case hastily … tsk tsk … Detective Zhao," Zhang Ling asked playfully, "does this count as … a perfect crime case?"
"I don't know if it's perfect or not, but Qi Hao and Shen Hao are always messing around …" Zhao Yu took a sip of red wine and said, "Today, when I heard about Shen Hao's death, I was quite confused! Wasn't Qi Hao dead? Why did I die again? When I heard that it was Shen Wenbin's father, I finally understood! "
"Hehe …" Zhang Ling smiled. "It's just someone with the same name. Actually, Shen Hao's health has always been poor. Otherwise, he wouldn't have handed the company over to Shen Wenbin!
After the Ghost King Case, his family kept the news of Shen Wenbin's death a secret. But, with such a big company, they naturally needed someone to take charge. So, in the end, Shen Hao still found out about it!
"In the end, when Shen Hao found out about his beloved son's tragic death, he fainted immediately." Zhang Ling shook her head helplessly. "By the time he was sent to the hospital, it was already too late!
"This is great," Zhang Ling secretly pointed at Wang Zhen in the distance, "Now that the Shen father and son are dead, the Wang family will naturally be able to stand with their heads held high and become the biggest beneficiary!
"Look … Shen Hao just passed away today, and Wang Zhen couldn't help but look for the bank manager to discuss business …"
"If there's nothing wrong with this, even a ghost wouldn't believe it!"
"But …"
Zhao Yu cut a piece of Tomahawk Steak, but he wasn't in the mood to eat it. He sighed.
"Yeah …" Zhang Ling wasn't stupid and immediately understood what Zhao Yu meant. She said helplessly, "But, we can't do anything to him now, right?!"
Zhao Yu nodded again. Obviously, Zhang Ling had hit the nail on the head.
Even if they found out that Wang Zhen might be the mastermind behind the Ghost King Case, they didn't have any evidence to send Wang Zhen to the police station!
They didn't even have the right to bring Wang Zhen back to the police station for questioning, let alone plead guilty!
"It's a pity," Zhang Ling sighed. "There were so many crime scenes in the Ghost King Case, but there wasn't a single piece of evidence that could be used for comparison!
"Now …" Zhang Ling looked at Wang Zhen in the distance and said, "We can only monitor Wang Zhen. If we can find the murderer that he hired, we might still have a chance!"
"Humph!" Zhao Yu snorted and said, "What's true can't be fake, and what's fake can't be real. If Wang Zhen is really the mastermind behind this case, he definitely can't escape!
"As the saying goes, if you don't want people to know about it, don't do it. In this world, there is no perfect crime! But … "
"Oh?" Zhang Ling sensed something and asked quickly, "But what?"
"But … I still don't understand …" Zhao Yu said honestly. "If … Wang Zhen is really the mastermind behind the Ghost King Case, then … His IQ isn't low, right?"
"Of course," Zhang Ling nodded. "I've been a criminal police officer for so many years, but I've never seen such a high IQ, nor such a complicated murder case!"
"That's weird," Zhao Yu said. "If Wang Zhen was really that good, then all these years … Why would Chuankai Group be suppressed by Chuanxin so badly?
With Wang Zhen's intelligence and ruthlessness, he should have killed Chuanxin long ago, right? Why would he need to use the Ghost King Case? "
"This …" Zhang Ling scratched her head. "That's true! Could it be … "He thought quickly and came up with a reason." Could it be that the honest man was forced into a corner?
"Kindness doesn't command armies, righteousness doesn't do business. Could it be that Wang Zhen only wanted to do business honestly, but in the end, his legs were broken, and his dad was driven crazy? That's why he decided to throw caution to the wind and … "
Beep beep … Beep beep …
Just then, there was a phone ringing from the dining table.
Zhao Yu and Zhang Ling checked and realized that it was Zhang Ling's phone ringing.
"Hello …" In order not to attract Wang Zhen's attention, Zhang Ling did not look at the caller ID and quickly answered the phone. She asked softly, "What's up?"
In the end, when Zhang Ling heard the content of the phone call, her expression changed.
He listened for a long time, then hung up the phone and reported to Zhao Yu with a shocked expression.
"Detective Zhao, my people just found out that Wang Zhen …" As he spoke, he glanced at Wang Zhen, who was far away, then lowered his voice and whispered to Zhao Yu, "Some information about Wang Zhen's ex-wife …"
"His ex-wife's name is Yang Zimei. We found out that in her family, there's no one named Yang Qinchen …"
"Oh …" Zhao Yu nodded, but looked confused. "So, although her surname is Yang, she has nothing to do with Tao Yulan?"
"No … On the contrary …" Zhang Ling suddenly said nervously, "We found out that Yang Zimei used to be a soldier, and she's an Information Soldier, just like Qi Hao!!"
"What?" Zhao Yu was confused. "What do you mean? A woman, an Information Soldier? "
"That's nothing," Zhang Ling said. "Do you know where her family's old house is?"
"Where … where?" Zhao Yu realized the severity of the problem and guessed the answer, but he did not say it out loud.
"It's in Willow Tomb!" Zhang Ling's eyes widened in shock. "It's Qi Hao's … neighbor!!!"
