Chapter 3456: Reward for Catching the Murderer

That night, Su Su Xinghui met with Hou Luo Wenchang. Hou Luo Wenchang also knew that the reporter who was stabbed on the street the day before yesterday was Su Su Xinghui's classmate. Su Su Xinghui called him before coming to Jiangcheng, so Hou Luo Wenchang also came to Jiangcheng. The headquarters of Hanhai Network was still in Jiangcheng, so Hou Luo Wenchang came to Jiangcheng quite often, and it was quite convenient for him to come.

Su Su Xinghui met Hou Luo Wenchang mainly for the matter of offering a reward online to collect information about the murderer who stabbed Zhang Bin. After discussion, these classmates of Zhang Bin decided to offer a reward of 200,000 yuan to collect information about the murderer. If anyone provided information that successfully captured the murderer, a reward of up to 200,000 yuan would be issued according to the accuracy of the information provided.

Of course, this money was paid by Min Tong. Although Su Su Xinghui could afford this money, it would not be good for his influence to pay this money.

This was not a big deal for Hanhai Network, but Su Su Xinghui still had to meet with Hou Luo Wenchang to explain some details. He not only wanted to catch the murderer through this reward but also wanted to make society pay attention and also be a protection for reporters like Zhang Bin.

Zhang Bin being attacked was no longer an isolated case. In these years, many reporters with a sense of justice had been attacked, and some reporters had even lost their lives because of this. Some reporters were retaliated against and persecuted by those in power, some were thrown into prison, some could no longer engage in the reporter profession, and some were smeared. In short, wanting to be a reporter with a conscience was not so easy.

In this line of work, wanting to be a reporter with a sense of justice and a conscience really meant wanting to be a saint. One's moral character must be noble, one cannot be greedy for money, one cannot be lustful, one must be content with poverty and happy in the way, and one must be invulnerable to swords and guns, with a strong background behind, so that one can protect oneself from harm.

Being such a reporter was no easier than Su Su Xinghui being an official with a conscience.

Zhang Bin was both Su Su Xinghui's classmate and a reporter with a conscience. Su Su Xinghui naturally wanted to protect such a person and seek justice for him. He also hoped to take advantage of this incident to form a big discussion on the internet to discuss this social phenomenon, hoping that this discussion could let more people wake up and form a favorable public opinion environment for these reporters.

Such things must be done by Hou Luo Wenchang to achieve the best effect. Hou Luo Wenchang's Hanhai Network was now the number one portal website on the internet, leading the trend on the internet.

As soon as Hou Luo Wenchang saw Su Su Xinghui, he asked him how Zhang Bin was. Su Su Xinghui said that Zhang Bin's surgery was very successful, and he was now out of danger and had woken up, and he had already met with Zhang Bin.

Hou Luo Wenchang had a deep impression of the name Zhang Bin, because Zhang Bin could be considered a famous reporter in Jiangcheng. He also opened his own column on Hanhai Network, and articles with very sharp points of view and excellent writing style were often published in the column, which also brought quite a lot of traffic to Hanhai Network.

Hou Luo Wenchang had read every one of these articles and appreciated them very much. However, he didn't expect that this Zhang Bin was actually Su Su Xinghui's classmate. He said with some regret that if he had known earlier that Zhang Bin was Su Su Xinghui's classmate, he would have dug Zhang Bin to Hanhai Network to be the editor-in-chief of the news section no matter what.

Su Su Xinghui said this was a good idea. With Zhang Bin's talent and moral character, he was undoubtedly capable of this position.

When Hou Luo Wenchang heard that Su Su Xinghui wanted to lead a big discussion on the internet about the incident of Zhang Bin being stabbed, he nodded and agreed with Su Su Xinghui's idea.

And for the matter of offering a reward to catch the murderer that Su Su Xinghui mentioned, Hou Luo Wenchang also decided to add another 300,000 yuan as a reward. In this way, it would make this matter more topical, and such a high reward amount, I think someone would be jealous of this reward and come out to identify the murderer.

The price for that murderer to be instructed to attack Zhang Bin certainly wouldn't be too high. The economy was not so developed yet. In some places, a few tens of thousands of yuan was enough to buy someone to take risks. Even a professional killer like Wu Hui, the price for him to kill a person was only about 100,000 yuan, and only a target like Su Su Xinghui would be higher.

Therefore, now they offered a reward of 500,000 yuan to catch the murderer. As long as there were insiders, Su Su Xinghui was sure that there would be results. Sometimes, a huge wealth could make relatives turn against each other, and father and son become enemies. The temptation of money was infinite.

Su Su Xinghui discussed some details of the reward post and the discussion post with Hou Luo Wenchang, and soon discussed a result.

Therefore, two posts appeared on Hanhai Network overnight. One post was offering a reward of 500,000 yuan to collect information about the murderer of the famous reporter Zhang Bin, and the other post was a netizen suspecting that Zhang Bin's stabbing was someone buying a murder for retaliation.

The reward post was posted by Hanhai Network officially. Hanhai Network officially offered a reward to catch the murderer for him in the name of Zhang Bin being their special reporter. They also issued the names of the funders of this reward of 500,000 yuan, one was Mr. Hou Luo Wenchang, the president of Hanhai Technology Group, and the other was Mr. Min Tong, the president of Xianrenquan Beverage Limited Group Company.

These two names were resounding names in today's Chinese business world. One was the leader of today's Chinese IT industry, and the other was one of the top big shots in today's Chinese fast-moving consumer goods industry. Their promise was naturally enough to be trusted. No one would think that their promise would not be fulfilled.

For a time, the heat of this post was amazing, and the reply volume broke tens of thousands all at once. Many of them said they knew who the murderer was, and many left contact information in the post saying they wanted to provide information about the murderer.

Of course, this information was mixed, and fake information was estimated to account for more than 99.99% of it. Most of the outrageous information had been excluded in the first time, and other clues that Hanhai Network and the police felt valuable would be investigated one by one.

The police believed that even if there were really insiders, it was estimated that they would not provide information to the police in the first time. They would also have intense psychological struggles, struggling between the reward and possible friendship, kinship, or other feelings. It was expected that it would take a day or two before there might be real insiders reporting to the police.

However, this reward post still provided relatively great help to the police. Such a large reward amount was 'under heavy reward there must be brave men,' which provided another road for the police's investigation work.

Another post, under the push of Hanhai Network, also had very high heat, and the reply was also broken ten thousand in an instant. Many netizens said the examples and stories of those reporters with a sense of justice they knew who were attacked and retaliated against.

Many local netizens in Jiangcheng had very high participation. They were very familiar with Zhang Bin, this famous reporter in Jiangcheng. They knew the things Zhang Bin participated in reporting that exposed the dark side of society like the back of their hands. Many netizens even posted the newspapers that published these reports to this post.

In this post, the dark side of society that Zhang Bin reported was exposed again, and the names of those who did evil were published again, letting netizens across the country know.

Although these two posts were published at night, the heat of these two posts did not decrease at all until late at night. Most of the netizens in this era were night owls. Many netizens were staying up all night in internet cafes. This was because the cost of staying up all night in internet cafes was relatively cheap, and ten yuan could be used to surf the internet for a whole night in an internet cafe.

And these netizens who stayed up all night were mostly poor students who had no money, mostly college students. College students' emotions were easily excited. They encountered such unfair things, and their enthusiasm for discussion was very high. Therefore, the later it was at night, the higher the heat on the internet.

Not only Hanhai Network, but almost all portal websites and professional websites were discussing this reporter stabbing case that happened in Jiangcheng.

Early this morning, in an internet cafe in Jiangcheng, a young man in his early twenties was surfing the internet on a computer. He often surfed the internet here, and he stayed up all night every time he surfed the internet, because he had no money. He was a migrant worker who came to Jiangcheng from other places to work.

His job was to be a security guard in a company. This job didn't have to be nine-to-five every day, and the working hours were not so regular, so he often came to stay up all night at night, spent ten yuan to play for a whole night, and didn't have to go to work during the day the next day, just sleeping for a day in the place he rented.

For a young man like him with low income but heavy internet addiction, this was a natural choice.

What he liked most was playing online games on the internet, and then browsing some news he was interested in on the internet, or brushing posts in the community, which was actually the common hobby of young netizens today.
