Room 408, Windbo Club, in the study.
Han Annie's snow-white uniform made Lu Ming's eyes pop out.
Anne likes to wear uniforms, such as prosecutor's uniform and police officer's uniform. Although she is suspended from work now, she wears the same style as Captain Nicole. The top is tight and stylish, which highlights her slim waist and breasts. She also has a very straight and stylish temperament, which is the smart and sexy look of an extremely professional commander. The snow-white pencil pants are nine-point, revealing the soft white socks and ankle curves, making her long legs look even more slender. Finally, she wears a pair of extremely beautiful snow-white leather shoes.
This hot-selling clothing of the same style as Nicole is actually not exactly the same as the captain's style in the movie. After all, if it is the same style, it can only be worn for COS and the like. It is modified by taking the essence of it and making it suitable for high-end professional women to wear in daily life. When worn on Han Annie, it seems to be tailor-made for her temperament, making her look even more beautiful.
Lu Ming liked her as soon as he saw her and kept staring at her.
"I'll dig your eyes out!" Han Annie said fiercely.
Lu Ming laughed, "Annie, you are kind to me in your heart, why don't you admit it? Otherwise, why did you put away my club badge when you saw it?!"
"I want to investigate it first! This case is too big and will affect the reputation of your club. The first thing I thought of was that someone might want to dismantle your club. However, your club's proposition is very good, better than many political parties' propositions, and it speaks for the lower class."
"Why explain so much? Just say you like me!"
Han Anni, who was patiently explaining, suddenly felt a little depressed. She wanted to ignore him, but then she sighed softly: "What are you going to do?"
Lu Ming shook his head, his face full of gloom, and walked over to pull Han Annie's hand: "Come, sit with me for a while..."
Before he could pull it, Han Annie pushed it away.
Lu Ming shook his head: "Annie, Annie, you will always treat me like this, but even if you hit me, kill me, scold me, and torture me, I will not be angry with you at all. Do you know why? In my previous life, you were my first love. Originally, we should have been together, but unfortunately, I was struck by an unexpected disaster and died before I could confess my love to you. Alas... I am as devoted to you as the bright moon. Even if the mountains are gone and the sky and the earth merge, I will never break up with you..."
"Such lies! Go tell your concubine!" Han Anni sneered, "You are so rich, I don't know who bought this poem with a lot of money, it's such a beautiful conception, but you are wasting it by letting you use it!"
Lu Ming smiled, sat down on the sofa, picked up the briefcase he brought with him, and patted it. "I was afraid that you would worry, so I came to talk to you. Besides, you are a smart guy, so you can also see if I have missed anything."
"Okay!" Han Annie nodded immediately, and she didn't even bother to pay attention to Lu Ming's words calling her "little smart guy", which were full of teasing and doting.
"You should know the latest progress of the eucalyptus, right?" Lu Ming asked.
Han Annie nodded: "The special investigation team has found Lao Catfish's relatives in the north, but it was very difficult to find them because they were being hunted down."
Lu Ming smiled and said, "You are well-informed. It's not in vain that I stayed in the Supreme Procuratorate. I have a close friend now!"
"Well, the confidential secretary, Li Jialing, is very close to me, and she can attend the highest-level meetings of the special case team. She is an orphan, and is... the lover of a senior prosecutor. It was the senior prosecutor who paid for her schooling and brought her into the Supreme Prosecutor's Office. Now, she doesn't want to live that kind of life anymore and wants to break up peacefully, but she doesn't dare to. I have given her a lot of advice. She is a very pitiful and lovely little sister."
Lu Ming nodded: "Let's help her after this matter is over."
"Okay..." Han Annie glanced at Lu Ming, "Thank you!"
Lu Ming asked again, "Any other news?"
"They also learned from Catfish's relatives that visitors from the south had paid Catfish, and they also learned the address from which Catfish's relatives sent the message. From the employee on duty at the post office that day, they learned that Catfish had gone to pick up the message. At least, it was someone who looked very similar to Catfish who had picked up the message."
Lu Ming nodded.
"That's all I know, what about you?" Han Annie looked at Lu Ming with her big eyes.
"The first news is that the man was not killed by the catfish." Lu Ming was not surprised to see Han Annie, but just listened quietly.
"Because, when Catfish lost his badge that day, he immediately went to tell the management of my club. If he really killed the person, he should have thought that he might have lost the badge while climbing up and down. Moreover, the badges are all the same, so he could have stolen one from someone else before the matter was exposed."
"In fact, the people who framed me thought I cared too much about the badge. They didn't know that I had a lot of badges like this. They also didn't know that Catfish and my management were very close. As soon as I didn't see the badge, I went to tell him."
"My manager, Big Head, you've met him. He talked to me about catfish, and I asked him a few more questions."
"It was at this time that Sha Dahai called me to report the murder. He mentioned that the rich businessman was from the same place as Catfish. In addition, four border commissioners were killed, which made me feel that the matter was not simple."
"Next, there are some things I won't tell you yet."
"After Jordan approached me, I was sure that the mastermind was going to target me. So what should I do? I put myself in the mastermind's shoes and thought about what he would do to successfully frame me. And I had to take the lead step by step."
"For example, my people were the first to find the catfish's family, much faster than the special task force."
"As for being hunted down, it was also a false alarm arranged by my people. Of course, it seems very reasonable. Catfish's son offended the local gangsters, and he had money in his hands. He acted arrogantly, so the whole family was hunted down."
"The main reason is that we don't want Catfish's relatives to be harmed. The mastermind is from the Linhe faction. If they go to the stage of hunting them down, Catfish's relatives might die. However, they saw that Catfish's family members were seeking death on their own, and someone has already hunted them down for them. So, even if there was any original plan, it should be stopped."
"You have a soft heart..." Han Annie sighed softly.
After all, it might be better to leave Catfish's relatives alone. Otherwise, what if the people sent by the mastermind figure out that this is a fake pursuit arranged by someone? This might suddenly make the mastermind realize that Lu Ming or someone else has intervened in this situation.
Lu Ming waved his hand and continued, "There is also the 97th Post Office. I was also thinking that the other party's arrangement of receiving messages at this post office might not be accidental. Maybe it is a habitual action. For example, the person receiving the message is very close to this post office? Or can he pass by by chance?"
"After all, the other party may not think that this detail can cause any mistakes. It's just a matter of picking up a telegram from here."
"But, something went wrong!" Lu Ming smiled.
"Oh? How could that be?" Han Annie opened her eyes wide in surprise.
"He was also one of my people. He was the first person to see the fake catfish take the telegram from the post office employee. This employee was questioned by my people for a whole day and night. He almost collapsed and described all the characteristics of the fake catfish over and over again."
"In his description, the thing that impressed me the most and that he described the most was a pair of shoes worn by the fake catfish. They were the latest model of Buyun, which didn't match the fake catfish's rough outfit. The Buyun shoes were originally designed for successful people, not mercenaries who always have to climb mountains and wade through water. The shoes wouldn't be able to withstand the brunt of it. The fake catfish was wearing the casual clothes of militants, which were very rough."
"So, I asked my people to set up a point opposite the 97th Post Office and take pictures every ten seconds. They took tens of thousands of pictures over ten days. I call it the 'artificial camera' detection method."
"Select the people who will pass by every day. It would be best if they are well-dressed and wear Buyun shoes."
"We screened dozens of people, and finally found this person!" Lu Ming took out a few photos from his briefcase. "According to the employee of the Post Office, his body shape and other aspects are very similar to the fake catfish. Of course, he couldn't tell that this was the person who took the telegram from him that day, because the appearance has changed so much."
"But once my people find out his identity, it will be certain."
"Look, that's him. He wears Buyun shoes and passes by the post office twice a day to go to and from work. His name is Gao Ping. On the surface, he is the owner of Youcheng Trading Company near the 97 Post Office. In reality, he is one of the links in helping Old Renault to launder money when making movies. He provides fake materials and goods to the film company. Moreover, this guy used to be a core member of the Tiedan Party. After the Tiedan Party broke up with Old Renault, he was still an employee of Old Renault and maintained a close relationship with the Tiedan Party."
Han Annie stared at the person in the photo. Is this possible? Of course, the method is wonderful, but it also requires huge financial and human support.
But, "artificial camera"? What a weird name...
But, it's a really whimsical and good idea.
Then his eyes widened, "It's old Renault? I can't believe it."
Lu Ming smiled and said, "My personal guess is that with Old Renault in the front, the Bucklo family will also be supporting him from behind."
"My people haven't arrested Gao Ping yet, but they are monitoring him 24 hours a day to see who he associates with."
After a pause, he said, "There is a second line."
"If Catfish is not the murderer, and his badge is lost, then it means that there are people like Old Renault or Bucklo in the club."
"But the gunman may not be the traitor. And there is a 90% chance that he will not be the traitor. If I am the mastermind, the traitor will be responsible for stealing Lao Catfish's badge. I will choose someone else as the gunman."
"In this way, the traitor must have an alibi witness at the time of the murder. From this point of view, it is difficult to find the traitor."
Han Annie let out a long breath, "You have been playing the role of the bad guy, and then falling into his trap, racing against time."
"However, if I were the person behind this, I would definitely get rid of this traitor." Lu Ming pondered, "Would the traitor not think of this? As a person who knows about this big case, how could he survive? When he took the money, it should be a life-saving money. It was a large sum of money. Even if he died, he would not lose the money. If he could escape, he would feel that he would gain more."
“The club was temporarily banned from gathering, but I divided them into groups of 10 and required them to stay together 24 hours a day.”
"There are more than 200 people in the organization, and many of them are mercenaries with limited experience. It is difficult to investigate who might be the traitor one by one. Now, I will see who will run away."
"Moreover, there are generally a few suspects, who are the ones who are most likely to replace the blank bullets in the gun that shot Catfish. I deliberately put more people I trust in the 10-man team of those suspects, and secretly told them what to watch out for."
"I think, in the next two days, the traitor will be unable to hold back any longer."
"If you don't run away now, he should know that you can't escape."
Han Annie nodded slightly.
Lu Ming said: "There is a third point, but I am not sure about it. It is the border councillor Li Zhongliang who is still unconscious."
"If I am the mastermind behind this, and I deliberately arranged to injure him instead of killing him, then he is also paid to buy his life. The Free Citizens Commissioner has no family background and is easy to bribe. After all, this may be a sum of money that our descendants cannot earn in several lifetimes."
"And he who has received enough money may die, that's it. The money given to him will be wasted. If he survives by chance, I will let him testify against the person I want to harm."
"Of course, loopholes are easy to appear here. Living witnesses are the most likely to cause problems."
"My people have thoroughly investigated Li Zhongliang and his relatives, including whether he might have an illegitimate child that no one knows about, but they haven't found any problems so far."
"So, maybe he didn't die, it was really an accident."
"The hospital report also said that his atrium was slightly to the right compared to others, so the bullet did not hit the heart directly."
"Then, he is a great advantage to me, because he is very clear about the content of the hearing. He can't pose any threat to me at all. Instead, I gave them a good scolding."
Han Anni nodded silently and thought about it.
"Finally, the fourth point is the northern businessman."
"You should be able to imagine that there should be no gold bars, and the person should be fake. There is indeed no such businessman in Longbei Linhe. But this has little impact on me and my enemies, because if they frame me, the businessman is fake, and it can be said that I arranged it, and the target is those border committee members."
"To me, he is not a favorable evidence. If we want to overturn the case, he is definitely not the key. However, my people are still trying to find out his true identity. Perhaps, they can find new clues that are favorable to me."
Han Annie nodded, "Fifth point, you didn't mention the most important thing, is the old catfish not dead?"
Lu Ming smiled and said, "The secret cannot be revealed. The traitor must have thought that he got rid of Lao Catfish. After all, he was the one who caused the accident. Then, he did everything the master told him to do and prepared to run away. I think he thought that the master would not have to find him and kill him. After all, as long as no one can find him, it is the same as him being killed and disappearing to his master."
As he spoke, he sighed softly, "I was really lucky this time. I suddenly heard about Catfish from Datou, and then Sha Dahai called me, which made me alert immediately. If it wasn't like this, and I followed the opponent's rhythm and suddenly caught me off guard, then I would be in danger! However, for now, I still have to tread on thin ice. With every step forward, I will try to stay ahead of the enemy."
Han Annie shook her head and said, "It's not that you are lucky, it's that you are kind to others and have a good relationship with your subordinates. You care about your subordinates, and they will tell you a lot of things. These are things that your enemies would never expect."
Lu Ming smiled and opened his arms: "I am such a kind person, but I have encountered a sudden disaster. A huge black pot is hanging over my head. Won't you hug me and comfort me?"
"Tsk!" Han Annie turned away, "There are so many people waiting to comfort you!"
Looking at Han Annie's cute and coquettish expression, looking at her beautiful figure, sitting only, um, about 5 centimeters away from me, just listening to me talking, she sat closer and closer, from a psychological perspective, it was already an intimate distance.
Lu Ming's heart skipped a beat.
What if I suddenly hug her and kiss her on the face right now
How would she react? At least, she wouldn't reach for a gun and shoot herself, right
Just as he was about to make a move, someone suddenly knocked on the study door. Wu Nong said softly, "Commissioner, have you and Nizi come to an agreement? Can I bring in some fruit?"
"Oh, Mom, we're fine!" Han Annie stood up.
Lu Ming was helpless. He thought he was not thick-skinned enough and was hesitant to make a decision.
Han Anni opened the door, and an enchanting figure immediately walked in.
Lu Ming was stunned. Han Annie's mother was dressed differently. She started wearing cheongsam. She had a noble lady's bun and her bangs were dyed extremely gorgeously. Her pretty face was full of spring. She was wearing a bright red cheongsam, flesh-colored stockings and high heels. Her figure was exquisite and her curves were attractive. This beautiful woman became more and more seductive and gorgeous.
"Hey youyou, my lord, where are you looking at?" Tang, who was holding a fruit plate, said coquettishly, but there was a hint of pride between her brows.
Lu Ming almost choked to death. He was just looking at it normally.
Looking at Han Annie again, her pretty face immediately turned dark.
Mrs. Tang was already sitting next to Lu Ming. She picked up a purple grape from the fruit plate and put it to Lu Ming's mouth, "Sir, have you tasted this year's grapes? They are so sweet!"
Lu Ming took it with his hand, "Okay, let me try it." He put it in his mouth, "Hmm, so sweet, Auntie, you are really good at picking grapes!"
He did not rush to get up and avoid her like the plague. If he did that, it would seem that he was noble, but it would also be disrespectful to Han Annie's mother and would hurt Han Annie's face.
Although Han Annie's pretty face was getting darker and darker now, she was only angry at herself and did not feel that her self-esteem was hurt.
However, the smile of Mrs. Tang in front of him became sweeter and more charming.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Aunt, when will you marry Annie to me?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Han Annie gritted her teeth, turned around and slammed the door. She didn't want to listen to her mother's next angry words. After all, she had advised her several times.
"Of course you can!" Mrs. Tang glanced at Han Annie's back, "This girl doesn't know how to appreciate the good fortune she has! She is so ignorant!"
She turned her head and looked at Lu Ming with her beautiful eyes, "Sir, you only have two concubines?"
Lu Ming coughed and said, "Yes..." He immediately felt guilty.
Tang's pretty face was full of admiration. "At your age and with such achievements, you only married two concubines. You are so devoted. Annie's bastard father, as soon as he became an official from a peasant, started to marry one after another. When he was an official, he had ten or eight concubines, and he even beat one to death! I heard that you treat your concubines very well, just like your wife, right?"
"Of course!" Lu Ming straightened his chest, which was quite reasonable.
"It's true. If you want to be someone's mistress, you have to marry into a rich family. Annie's father is a nouveau riche. Besides, when I married him, he was already an old man with a white beard. He snatched me away from the stage..."
Lu Ming felt a headache. Seeing that she was about to tell him about her tragic past, he coughed and said, "Auntie, how about this? If you are bored one day, I will invite you to go out and play, but I don't have much time recently."
"Okay, okay!" Tang's pretty face immediately turned from gloomy to sunny, and she smiled like a flower.
Lu Ming took out a checkbook from his briefcase, wrote down 2,000 yuan on it and handed it over, "Auntie, this is your living expenses for this month!"
Seeing Tang immediately looking at the study door like a thief, Lu Ming whispered, "I never told you about Annie."
Tang was immediately overjoyed and took the check. "Okay, okay, sir, it doesn't cost much here, everything is free, I will save up a dowry for Annie! As your third concubine, it will be more prestigious if the dowry is larger, right?"
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Go out and have fun more. It's time to spend some money. I'll pay for Annie's dowry when the time comes. After all, she's marrying into my family, right?"
Tang smiled even more happily, biting her red lips, her watery eyes were so charming, as if water was about to drip out, as if she wanted to eat the good son-in-law in front of her.
Lu Ming quickly stood up and said, "Auntie, I'm leaving!"
…
When he came out of the study, he saw several figures in the reception room. They were wearing prosecutor's uniforms. Lu Ming was slightly startled and walked over.
Mrs. Liu had already hurriedly followed and said with some concern, "Master, the inspector is here. He said he wants to take the young lady in for questioning."
Lu Ming nodded.
"Who are you?" Lu Ming asked as he entered the reception room.
Several prosecutors turned around. The leader was a round-faced man in his forties with a flat nose and a face shaped a bit like a pug.
“Commissioner Lu…” A young prosecutor nearby recognized Lu Ming, but Lu Ming did not know him.
He whispered a few words in the ear of the round-faced man who led the team. The round-faced man looked Lu Ming up and down, smiling, "Oh, you are Lu Qianxing!"
Lu Ming smiled and said, "What do you want from Han Annie? I'm her representative lawyer!"
The round-faced man was stunned for a moment, then a sarcastic smile appeared on his face, "It will be your turn soon. What do you represent? You?"
Lu Ming looked at him: "What's your name?"
The young prosecutor who knew Lu Ming saw something was wrong and said with a smile, "Commissioner Lu, this is Prosecutor Liu Tao, our deputy chief prosecutor."
"Do you want me to register for you?!" The round-faced man frowned and looked at the young prosecutor.
Oh, this is Liu Tao, the one who found Han Annie hiding the badge and complained about her. Lu Ming nodded, looked at Han Annie who walked to his side, and said with a smile: "Since I haven't been formally interrogated yet, I can still be your representative lawyer. I'll go with you."
Han Annie nodded slightly.
Lu Ming suddenly smiled and whispered in her ear, "I have a feeling that the two of us will be in the dock together. Who will call us adulterers then?"
Han Annie bit her red lips, but looking at Lu Ming, she finally couldn't help it, lowered her head, and smiled. Thinking about Wu'an now, it might be so interesting and warm.
"Let's go quickly! Don't waste time!" Liu Tao said impatiently.
Lu Ming turned his head to look at him and smiled: "Deputy Prosecutor Liu Tao, right? Do you believe that you, Shacha, will be dead on the street tomorrow?"
"What did you say?!" Liu Tao never dreamed that this guy would scold him directly, and his face immediately turned red. "You insulted me and threatened me? Do you know that I can sue you for obstructing public service?!"
"Oops, I said the wrong thing!" Lu Ming spread his hands to the prosecutors beside Liu Tao, "You must not spread it out, otherwise, if this guy is really found dead on the street, I will be held responsible again!"
Several prosecutors were extremely embarrassed and looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
Liu Tao's face was filled with rage, and he was about to explode when suddenly he thought of a possibility. His face immediately turned terribly pale.
