Chapter 605: Innocent Crime

~8 min read 1,509 words

"That Lu Gang from the Cao family restaurant? Okay, I'll keep an eye on him."

After Jin Ge heard Li Ye's instructions, he immediately took a few people and left.

Wen Leyu asked in surprise: "You want to check on that Lu Gang? Li Ye, do you think this matter has something to do with him?"

Li Ye shook his head slightly: "I'm not sure, maybe it's intuition!"

Li Ye couldn't explain to Wen Leyu what kind of a fierce person Lu Gang was; after all, that was a story in another historical trajectory.

Because Lu Gang harbored resentment toward his teachers and classmates, he calmly trained his marksmanship at the shooting range for several months, and then used a revolver to end all his grievances and himself.

Ruthless to others, ruthless to himself—could he not be a fierce person?

However, after hearing Li Ye's words, Sister Zhen beside them also said with disdain: "That Lu Gang is indeed not a good thing.

I heard from former colleagues at the restaurant a few days ago that when that guy first came, he was self-important and wanted to hook up with Ruan Shujun.

He didn't even think about Ruan Shujun, that kind of money-grubbing goods—how could she take a fancy to a stowaway who sneaked over? As expected, she humiliated him."

"Later, he started visiting brothels and even boasted that he had slept with all the girls in the secret doors of Chinatown, and few of them asked him for money..."

"..."

"Shameless!"

Wen Leyu spat and cursed in a low voice: "It was right to fire him in the first place."

"..."

Li Ye couldn't help but purse his lips, thinking that the ancients didn't deceive me; it turns out that a leopard can't change its spots.

Lu Gang ended up in this state today because he was ruined by "lust."

If he hadn't been fooling around with his girlfriend in the mainland, he would have been a government-sponsored overseas student for several years by now.

Just as Li Ye was pondering, he suddenly heard Sister Zhen say: "? Isn't that Lu Gang? It really is 'speak of the devil and he appears'!"

Li Ye and Wen Leyu looked up and found that Chen Juming, the proprietress of the Cao family restaurant, had brought several chefs and waiters to the police station, and Lu Gang was among them.

Li Ye looked carefully and found that Lu Gang looked like nothing had happened, and after seeing Li Ye, he even stared at him coldly.

Such a calm performance made Li Ye doubt himself.

【Either I'm wrong, or this guy's psychological quality is really good.】

Chen Juming's face was a bit pale, and she was already wearing a white flower on her head. Moreover, her steps were heavy and her eyes were lonely, and her whole person looked like a "sad widow."

But for some reason, Li Ye just felt that she seemed... to be smiling.

After seeing Li Ye and the others, Chen Juming glanced at them coldly and said nothing, but Lin Qiuyan, who was beside her, glared at Li Ye, looking very angry.

It was just that there was a lawyer, Elena, standing on Li Ye's side, so even though Chen Juming had more people, both sides were safe and sound.

It was just that when Ruan Shujun came out of the police station, the two sides still clashed.

Sister Zhen rushed up first and grabbed Ruan Shujun's arm.

"Ruan Shujun, why did you frame Rongrong? Do you know that this will kill Rongrong? You are not striving for progress yourself, so why can't you stand seeing others do well?"

"I didn't, wuwu, I didn't frame Zhen Rongrong! Why do you always speak ill of me and frame me... Wuwuwu, don't force me anymore, I'm really going to be forced to death by you..."

Ruan Shujun couldn't break free from Sister Zhen's palm and immediately cried, her tears streaming down, looking even more like a woman who had lost her husband than Chen Juming.

After the Lantern Festival tea party, among the five people who filled out "return to the country to work," only Ruan Shujun didn't get a job opportunity.

Ruan Shujun believed that Jiao Yaqiang and others had spoken ill of her, and after a big argument between the two sides, their relationship dropped to the freezing point.

So Sister Zhen believed that it was Ruan Shujun who harbored a grudge and framed Zhen Rongrong.

Li Ye stepped forward and said coldly: "Then why did you call Zhen Rongrong and ask her to come to Chinatown in the middle of the night? I warn you, this is not the mainland. Framing people is a serious crime and you will go to jail."

"Who are you scaring!"

Lin Qiuyan, who had long disliked Li Ye, reached out and pulled Ruan Shujun behind her, and shouted sternly at Li Ye: "This is the Lighthouse, everything must be based on evidence. The police say Zhen Rongrong killed someone, so she killed someone.

Don't you have a lawyer? Then you can find a lawyer to defend her, don't threaten our employees."

Li Ye narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "Then you'd better keep an eye on your employees, don't let him flee to avoid punishment... You just wait, I will definitely drag the real culprit behind the scenes out."

Lin Qiuyan felt her heart go numb from Li Ye's glance, but she mocked on her lips: "Real culprit behind the scenes? I thought you only knew how to write novels! It turns out you can also solve cases? Then we look forward to the performance of you, the great detective."

Li Ye laughed and said lightly: "To want to write novels, you must first read novels. When you have read hundreds of novels, you will understand that there is no case in this world that cannot be solved.

Because all vicious cases will follow one rule... the vested interest holder has the greatest suspicion."

"..."

Lin Qiuyan was stunned for a moment, and then her face quickly flushed red.

The vested interest holder is the real culprit behind the scenes? Who are you talking about?

Cao Yuanmao is dead, all the Cao family members in the Lighthouse are dead, so wouldn't all the family property belong to Lin Qiuyan's cousin, Chen Juming?

"Qiuyan, don't be led by the nose by others. If people who write novels could solve cases, then the police in the Lighthouse should all be unemployed."

Seeing her cousin about to explode, Chen Juming stopped Lin Qiuyan coldly, and then asked Ruan Shujun: "You come back to the restaurant with me! You may not be safe if you go back to the dormitory yourself. Staying in the restaurant can also block some people's mouths, so that people don't say you want to flee to avoid punishment."

Ruan Shujun cried for a few seconds, sobbing: "I am willing to go back to the restaurant with you. I'm afraid of having nightmares alone in the dormitory."

Chen Juming nodded, and then said to Li Ye: "Look, she has no intention of fleeing to avoid punishment. Now you can rest assured, right?"

"Heh~"

Li Ye let out a sneer, watching Chen Juming and the others turn and leave. Sister Zhen still wanted to tear at Ruan Shujun, but was stopped by Li Ye.

Then Li Ye shouted loudly: "Lu Gang, I heard that you stole one hundred thousand dollars from the Shunhua Company. How come you ended up working for others after coming to the Lighthouse?"

"..."

Chen Juming and the others all stopped and looked at Lu Gang in surprise.

One hundred thousand dollars in 1986 was not a small number. How many restaurants could you buy in Chinatown?

"Lu Gang, you actually have one hundred thousand dollars? Are you hiding it so deeply?"

"Lu Gang, no wonder you sleep with girls every day these past few months. It turns out it wasn't for free!"

"..."

Lu Gang looked at Li Ye coldly and said calmly: "If you want to write detective novels, I can help you conceive the plot, but don't confuse novels with reality. It's really not funny at all."

Li Ye said with a smile: "But that's what it says on your wanted notice! Isn't the wanted notice realistic enough?"

"..."

Lu Gang's eyes were no longer calm, and he stared at Li Ye with a venomous look like a poisonous snake.

An innocent man is innocent, but his wealth is his crime. Lu Gang is a stowaway with no human rights in the Lighthouse. If he has a huge sum of money, the consequences can be imagined.

Cao Yuanmao is dead. Logically speaking, the police should investigate everyone around him, but the Lighthouse police have never paid much attention to cases involving Chinese people.

But if someone around Cao Yuanmao has a huge sum of twenty thousand...

Maybe before the police investigation, the people around him would have investigated him thoroughly. ===== CHAPTER 606 =====
