Chapter 272: About the Case You’re following, I’d Like to Go and Have a Look Too

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After listening to Zhang Xin words, Mu Chenyan secretly contemplated about it and felt that she could not wait for another moment. If it were related to the Yuan Family, it was better to for her to follow the case as compared to having another person doing it.

Hence, Mu Chenyan grabbed the phone and called Su Qingcheng.

Su Qingcheng thought that Mu Chenyan was rushing her for lunch. Picking up the call, she immediately said, “Chenyan, I’m quite caught up here. I’ll only be going back later in the afternoon.”

“Qingcheng, about the case you’re following, I’d like to go and have a look too.”

Mu Chenyan’s intentions were extremely clear. Su Qingcheng knew that Zhang Xin must have disclosed the particularity of this case to Mu Chenyan.

It involved the Yuan Family!

If the murder had not happened, this kind of major political case would not have needed the involvement of the major crimes department.

The one who had led the protest and made the most commotion was a family with the surname Sun. The male lead was Sun Jie, a scout who had died many years ago in a drill. He left behind a wife and a child.

It was not known where the Sun family had gotten the news from, saying that their pension had been suspended, and the younger brother, Sun Xu, felt a deep sense of injustice for his sister-in-law.

He found out that it was not just one family who had encountered this, hence, they came together through their group contact, and Sun Xu headed the group to seek an explanation.

Little did they expect to collide with the peacekeeping police of the government, and the incident had excalated into an all out brawl.

The situation got out of control. Many of those troublemakers were apprehended, but Sun Xu the leader desperately fled home.

He dared not to show himself and was scared that the police would come up to his door.

However, for some mysterious reason, after receiving a call, Sun Xu had gone out again by himself.

Old man Sun saw that his second son had not returned for the night and dared not called the police, hence he went searching around with his wife and neighbors.

In the early morning of the next day, when Sun Xu’s body was found, it was laying near the mouth of the sewer...

Old man Sun spurted a spray of blood and kicked the bucket next.

Since lives were at stake, and this kind of criminal case could not be handled by the Commission for Discipline Inspection. Hence, Wu Huai got the order to quickly send men over to handle the matter.

A case of greed and corruption, a mob of troublemakers, and a fight had cost a life.

It was not known if Sun Xu’s murder case was tied up with the Financial Secretary’s case.

Many departments would have to dig deeper and crack this case together.

The people and powers implicated in this case were rather complicated, and it was causing an uproar on the Internet.

Zhang Xin had initially intended to write an article reporting on what was happening on the frontlines, but he did not expect Wu Huai to receive a call so soon to forbid any reporting. The online comments were also quickly blocked.

If it was forbidden, then he would not do it. Wu Huai was not supportive of the news reporting department anyway.

Wu Huai had chased Zhang Xin away with a long face yesterday, but today, Mu Chenyan wanted to follow them instead...

Su Qingcheng was put in a difficult position after hearing her request. She hesitated for a moment before replying softly, “Chenyan, I’m not in the position to make this decision. You’ve got to get Captain Wu’s approval. Zhang Xin had wanted to follow us yesterday but was chased away by Captain Wu...”

Mu Chenyan’s gaze fell on Zhang Xin. Zhang Xin nodded and confirmed that that was what he had encountered.

Recalling the handsome and gloomy face of Wu Huai, Zhang Xin felt indignant.

Mu Chenyan smiled. “We can act first before informing him later. Don’t worry, I won’t implicate you.”

...

After coming back from hunting, Yuan Xuan asked Tian Qi to catch some crickets for the two kittens to play with. Shao Yibai watched Yuan Xuan’s henpecked manner and his mouth twitched, thinking nothing of it.

When Yuan Xuan saw Shao Yibai’s face, his expression was plain as he remarked lightly, “I can’t be compared with certain people. After all, men like me who have eaten real meat are not on the same level as those who can only consume rabbit meat, wild chicken and deer and say that they are delicious.”

Hearing that, Shao Yibai knew that Yuan Xuan was mocking him once again for not having a wife and teasing him for commenting on the fragrance of the rabbit meat.

He could not tolerate it anymore!

He wanted to eat meat too!

Picking up his phone, Shao Yibai dialed a number.

Su Qingcheng was preoccupied with the overwhelming workload. When she saw that it was Shao Yibai’s call, she felt snappy.

On one hand, she hated this man’s persistent entanglement with her; on the other hand, Su Qingcheng hated herself for being perennially disturbed by him.

Taking a deep breath, Su Qingcheng pressed the decline button.

Mu Chenyan had been following Su Qingcheng along the entire day. When she saw that her complexion was not that well, Mu Chenyan grew a little worried. “Qingcheng, what’s wrong?”

Su Qingcheng spread her hands. “Nothing. Just a lunatic!”

Mr Shao the “lunatic” heard the ever unchanging “Sorry, the number you have dialed is unavailable. Please try again later” phrase.

His complexion turned darker and darker.

This damned woman. It was fine if Su Qingcheng did not want to meet him, but she would not even pick up his call. If this situation were to persist, he would become Yuan Xuan’s laughing stock.

Su Qingcheng was headstrong, but Shao Yibai was even more strong-willed than her.

“Yuan Xuan, I’ll get going first.” As he finished speaking, Shao Yibai quickly turned his steering wheel and swiftly left the paddock parking area.

Yuan Xuan looked at the two crickets in the little cage held by Tian Qi and enthusiastically said, “Little Ginger Fur Ball and Briquet will definitely like these two friends.”

...

Mu Chenyan followed Su Qingcheng around the entire day and was worn out by the end of it. Although it was tiring, it was also incredibly fruitful at the same time.

With the aid of Su Qingcheng’s identity, Mu Chenyan did not face any hindrances in the interviewing process.

However, one could not expect those who know the inside story to divulge too much information regarding this kind of matter. They had been in the field for a long time and knew what could be said and what could not be said.

Mu Chenyan had brought the information collected during the day back to organize them and had planned to write a report on them first.

Her focus was still on the Financial Secretary case, and although it was an extremely sensitive topic. This is because the information Mu Chenyan had acquired were all from the family members.

Sun Xu was dead, and so was his father. The entire Sun Family mourned at the loss of their two beloved members, and Mother Sun had already passed out a couple of times.

Sun Xu’s body was left at the forensic department for an autopsy. The Sun family’s eldest daughter-in-law had remarried, leaving a nine-year-old daughter and Mother Sun behind to depend on each other.

There were no pillars of support anywhere in sight, and without the help of relatives, Mother Sun could only give Old Master a simple funeral.

The Sun family was now left with a widow and an orphan. They had no means to pursue and dispute over the pension, but as for their son’s death, there had to be some sort of justification for it.

Hence, when Su Qingcheng and the rest had gone to investigate Sun Xu’s murder case, Mother Sun was extremely cooperative as she had hoped to finally obtain justice for her son.

“Although he wasn’t arrested for being the leader of the mob, his end result was worse... It would’ve been better for him to be arrested back then...”

Sun Xu’s mother wept and lamented on her son. Mother Sun had two sons. One was a soldier who had managed to become an officer but had died, while another perished in the midst of seeking justice.

Mu Chenyan was curious about Sun Xu’s position as the leader. How did this young man know of a secret that had been hidden for more than ten years? From what Zhang Xin had said, the Financial Secretary had made the account flawless.

“Mother Sun, what was Sun Xu’s working as before this?”

Xiao Jiang, whom Su Qingcheng had dispatched to make a statement, asked.

“Sun Xu did not study much. After graduating from junior high school, he had been working in various KTVs in Luo Hai as a bartender or waiter.”

Mu Chenyan suddenly thought of something and interjected, “Did Sun Xu bring anything home from the KTV recently?”

Seeing that Sun Xu’s mother was confused, Mu Chenyan helped her to recall.

“For example, any electronic products that can be used for recording, any documents, or micro camera of the likes.”

Mother Sun thought for a while before answering Mu Chenyan, “He had asked me for Lele’s reading pen a while ago, the kind which is used for reading English, and he had taken it for a few days.”

“When he returned it to me later on, he had asked me to keep it well and gave me another RMB300, asking me to buy a new one for Lele and to keep away the old one...”

Xiao Jiang’s face was filled with delight. He turned to Mu Chenyan, and Mu Chenyan nodded. Xiao Jiang then asked, “Where’s that reading pen now? Could you tell us?”
