Chapter 104: A Million for a Piece of News

The expression on Chen Jiajun's face was ninety percent genuine and ten percent fake; he was certain the police could not find any clues.

At this moment, a Police Constable outside the door brought over several reports and handed them to Superintendent Zhang Wenyao: "Superintendent Zhang, we checked the CCTV at the Gaorfuqiuchang and have preliminarily ruled out Jing Jun as a suspect. This is the autopsy report."

"What does the autopsy report say?"

Zhang Wenyao kept staring fixedly at Chen Jiajun. He had a deep relationship with Jiang Tiansheng, and he was also aware of Jiang Tiansheng's plan targeting Chen Jiajun.

"Massive cyanide poisoning! We found residue on the coffee cup," the Police Constable replied.

"Who touched that cup of coffee according to the CCTV?" Zhang Wenyao asked again.

"The logistics staff at the Gaorfuqiuchang, but the course has no CCTV."

"Have all the people present been brought back to give statements?" Zhang Wenyao pondered for a moment and asked.

The Police Constable replied: "They are all giving statements."

"You go get busy first."

Zhang Wenyao nodded, stood up, and knocked on the door of the Interrogation Room.

Chen Guozhong hurried out of the room, and after the two exchanged a few words.

"How is it inside?"

Zhang Wenyao took out a cigarette case in a flustered state and pulled out a lighter.

Chen Guozhong replied: "Chen Jiajun has witnesses; both TVB and Asia Television reported on it at noon."

"I'm asking if he has shown any flaws!" Zhang Wenyao's tone contained anger.

Chen Guozhong shook his head and said: "Superintendent Zhang, Chen Jiajun is the most suspicious, but he also happens to have the least motive!"

"He has already obtained what he wanted; why would he go through the trouble of taking out Jiang Tiansheng? He just ascended to the position yesterday, why take him out today?"

"As you said, according to the CCTV, Chen Jiajun and his people have an alibi, and the only ones present at the time were Hung Lok Dragon Head Piao Ge, Shenshi Sheng, David, Chen Haonan, Gan Zitai, and Zhao Shanhe."

"My suggestion is still to let Chen Jiajun go back; otherwise, it is very likely that Hung Hing and Hung Lok will break out into a gang war."

After hearing Chen Guozhong's words, Zhang Wenyao closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then stood up, opened the Interrogation Room door, walked in, and sat opposite Chen Jiajun.

He handed Chen Jiajun a Red Man and said: "My surname is Zhang, Serious Crimes Unit Superintendent Zhang Wenyao. Based on the assessment of the scene, your suspicion has been preliminarily ruled out."

Chen Jiajun could not help but be stunned. Upon hearing this name, he remembered who this person was. As a Serious Crimes Unit Superintendent, he would later commit crimes himself and commit heinous offenses.

Zhang Wenyao said: "Think carefully, who is most likely to have made a move against Jiang Tiansheng?"

Chen Jiajun looked at Liao Zhizong and Chen Jiaju, and Zhang Wenyao waved his hand to dismiss the two.

After there were only two people left in the room, Chen Jiajun lit a cigarette and replied:

"I don't have any clues. I haven't been in my position long, and I haven't been by Jiang Tiansheng's side for very long either. I have no idea who his enemies are. Can I ask who was at the scene?"

"Hung Lok Society Dragon Head Piao Ge, Zha FIT Ren Shenshi Sheng, Red Pole David, Fei Quan. Chen Haonan, Zhao Shanhe, Gan Zitai..." Zhang Wenyao answered slowly.

Chen Jiajun shook his head, took a deep breath, pondered, and said: "How did Jiang Tiansheng die? The doctor told me he died of poisoning."

"Massive amounts of cyanide."

"Cyanide?" Chen Jiajun pretended not to understand.

Zhang Wenyao lowered his head and said: "A highly toxic chemical compound. You know who was at the scene; tell me what you think."

Chen Jiajun said slowly: "Gan Zitai and Chen Haonan are Jiang Tiansheng's men; they shouldn't have a motive. I suspect the people from Hung Lok made the move."

"Why do you say that?" Zhang Wenyao frowned and asked.

Chen Jiajun frantically threw mud: "The underworld knows I am at odds with Jiang Tiansheng. If Jiang Tiansheng dies, I am the most suspicious, and Hung Hing is likely to have internal strife. Then Hung Lok could secretly swallow up Hung Hing's territory."

Zhang Wenyao gave a cold laugh: "Your reasoning is not without merit, however, from my perspective, you remain the most suspicious. We police have no evidence for now..."

After a pause, Zhang Wenyao continued: "For the next half month, you are not allowed to leave Hong Kong."

"Hung Hing's casino in Macau is opening soon; as the Dragon Head, I must be there," Chen Jiajun shook his head and said.

"No! I said no means no! Also, we police are still investigating. I don't want you and Hung Lok to have a gang war. Do you understand?"

"Heh, if people don't offend me, I won't offend them," Chen Jiajun said meaningfully.

"Then you can think about the consequences yourself!" Zhang Wenyao threw out a cold sentence.

After completing the bail procedures, Chen Jiajun walked out of the Hong Kong Royal Police Headquarters with Huang Dawen, got into a car, and immediately dialed a number: "Xing Shu, it's me, A Jun."

"Chairman! What is the situation now?" Xing Shu asked immediately.

Chen Jiajun gave a brief summary, and Xing Shu was immediately furious. He roared: "Damn their mother's Hung Lok! Otherwise, let's mobilize the troops tonight!"

"No, this matter cannot involve innocent people. The Anti-Triad Unit is also watching. Handle Jiang Tiansheng's funeral first. You notify everyone not to act rashly!"

Chen Jiajun immediately shook his head and vetoed it.

Xing Shu was indignant: "I understand!"

Chen Jiajun added: "Also, get the mourning hall set up immediately. Let Mr. Jiang leave with dignity and grace. I am returning to the Hung Hing Headquarters immediately."

Hanging up the phone, Chen Jiajun said to Dumu: "Dumu, you stay here. After Taizi, Chen Haonan, and Chen Yao come out, grab them immediately."

"I'll pay you extra!" Chen Jiajun added.

"Hmm, extra money is fine!" Dumu nodded in response.

"Lu Jinqiang, drive," Chen Jiajun followed up.

"Yes."

Finally having a chance to show his worth, Lu Jinqiang, who was touching the steering wheel for the first time, was extremely excited.

Funeral parlor, memorial hall.

At this time, many Hung Hing Big Dippers had already gathered here, all wearing black suits with white cloth tied around their right arms, their expressions solemn.

Jiang Tiansheng's woman, Fang Ting, with red eyes and wearing mourning clothes, was squatting on the ground burning yellow paper.

He had no direct descendants and no wife; as his girlfriend, Fang Ting naturally had to come out to keep vigil for him.

After Chen Jiajun arrived, Ya Qi got out of the car to open the door for him. Chen Jiajun looked over, and many Hung Hing Big Dippers were looking at him with very strange expressions.

The former Hung Hing Tsim Sha Tsui Zha FIT Ren Baohua, Gan Zitai's master, wearing a suit, walked out of the crowd and said in a deep voice: "Chen Jiajun, do you dare to swear to heaven that Mr. Jiang was not taken out by you!"

"It wasn't me. I just came out of the Police Station headquarters, and I am also waiting for the police to clear my name," Chen Jiajun replied in a deep voice, without saying anything more.

Immediately, there was whispering inside the funeral parlor.

Xing Shu came over and said, "Brother Hua, even if you suspect me, you cannot suspect him! The Dragon Head was in Tuen Mun all day today; A Kun, Fa Shu, and Tao Shu can all testify to that. If he really did it, would the police have released him?"

Baohua looked at Chen Jiajun again and said in a deep voice, "Go and offer a stick of incense to Mr. Jiang."

Chen Jiajun took the incense, bowed three times, and thought to himself, "Jiang Tiansheng, rest in peace, I won't be seeing you off!"

Afterward, he inserted the three sticks of incense into the incense burner, then turned around, his majestic gaze sweeping across the room; many people, struck by his torch-like eyes, lowered their heads one after another.

Inside the funeral parlor, the atmosphere was exceptionally heavy.

Facing all the Hung Hing Big Dippers present, Chen Jiajun said slowly:

"The police told me that Mr. Jiang was poisoned to death by someone!"

"He was poisoned to death by a poison called something like cyanide!"

Chen Jiajun's voice was neither hurried nor slow, yet it fell into the ears of everyone present, and everyone gasped.

"Jiang Tiansheng's death! I will definitely give everyone here an explanation!"

"Spread my words out; I want to collect leads. For any lead related to Jiang Tiansheng's death, one million per lead!"

As the previous Dragon Head of Hung Hing, no matter how notorious his conduct was, he remained the soul of Hung Hing.

For such a person to be poisoned to death, Hung Hing must take action!

Otherwise, other gangs and societies in the underworld would look down on Hung Hing!
