Chapter 627: 620 Chapter Twin Evils Attack? New Clue Investigation
Friday evening.
Jincheng Law Firm, Lin Xiangtian’s office.
"President Lin, the situation at the moment is like this, we could say we have the upper hand, just waiting for the trial next week to deliver a knockout blow to that young man!"
Ren Xingzhou had come with the trio to report the situation to Lin Xiangtian.
Of course, given his style, he certainly extolled his own achievements while glossing over the contributions of the trio.
The trio had some complaints about this, but there was nothing they could do. After all, Ren Xingzhou was a senior partner.
"Hmm, it does seem to be the case at the moment!"
Lin Xiangtian sat at his desk, resting with his eyes closed, while simultaneously weighing the situation of both parties.
As Ren Xingzhou said, they, the defendants, did hold the advantage at the moment.
"I must say, Old Ren, your tactic of slinging mud at each other is indeed quite good."
"As long as everything is tied to money, then everything will deteriorate. This so-called kinship, love, and friendship will all become chips to be used for the sake of money."
"Hmm, you’ve done well, keep it up, and next Monday will be the moment for you to make a name for yourselves in Dongfang Capital."
After praising him, Lin Xiangtian waved his hand to dismiss the four of them.
Upon hearing the praise, Ren Xingzhou naturally was thrilled, "Thank you for the compliment, President Lin!"
"Boss, we will certainly not disappoint you!"
The trio and Ren Xingzhou said their farewells and left the office directly.
However, right after the four had left, the smile on Lin Xiangtian’s face vanished without a trace.
"Although, at the moment, next Monday will be Ren Xingzhou and his team’s chance to speak, and no matter how you look at it, they have a greater chance of winning, their opponent is that young man Zhang Wei."
"This young man may not have other skills, but he certainly isn’t weak when it comes to turning the tables at the last moment, especially with two days left in the weekend, who knows what this young man might come up with."
"So, one cannot be too cautious..."
Lin Xiangtian still regarded Zhang Wei with the utmost seriousness.
After all, he had been embarrassed by this young man not once or twice, and was psychologically accustomed to it.
But it was precisely because of this habit that he was somewhat worried. What if Ren Xingzhou’s four-person team lost?
Although, at the moment, they seemed to be in a very strong position, with almost unlimited advantages.
But they hadn’t completely won yet, had they?
So, Lin Xiangtian picked up the telephone on the desk and dialed a number.
"Hello, it’s so rare for you, the chubby one, to call me!"
The phone was answered quickly, and an old and chilling voice could be heard on the other end.
Lin Jincheng, Lin Xiangtian’s father and the de facto controller of Jincheng Group.
"Dad, what are you up to?"
"You’re calling, not just to care for me, are you, chubby one?"
"Dad, how many times have I told you not to call me chubby one? I’m already so old, don’t I have any face left?"
"Heh heh..."
Hearing Lin Jincheng’s chuckle on the other end of the line, Lin Xiangtian couldn’t help but roll his eyes.
If you weren’t my father, I might actually get angry!
It’s only because you’re my dad that I can’t do anything about you, you know that!
"Out with it, what do you need, is it about that Wu Family kid’s case? Has Zhang Wei found key evidence?"
"No, according to my intel, that kid hasn’t found any evidence!"
Lin Xiangtian hurriedly shook his head. He had been keeping a close watch on Zhang Wei.
"So, what are you planning?"
"Dad, as you know, although I have some people at my disposal, when it comes to fighting power, it’s just not enough. I’m worried that..."
Lin Xiangtian paused mid-sentence and sighed, "I’m worried that kid might really turn things around, then that would..."
"If he does, it’s because he’s capable, and because Wu Family’s second son’s tactics aren’t good enough. It would just prove these facts!"
Lin Jincheng chuckled, seemingly having a clear understanding of the ins and outs of the whole affair.
"So, dad, can you lend me some people, preferably the Twin Evils, for a couple of days?"
"You want to use the Twin Evils, are you sure you want to deploy them?" Lin Jincheng sounded somewhat surprised.
The Twin Evils weren’t meant for dealing with ordinary matters; their involvement meant the situation was quite serious.
"Dad, think about it, with the Twin Evils by your side, they’re mostly just acting as bodyguards. With me, they could be put to full use."
"Chubby one, what nonsense are you talking, if I were protected by the Twin Evils, wouldn’t that be..."
"You can’t stay at home for the next two days, can you? We still have Uncle Fu there, isn’t his combat ability enough to reach the sky?"
"Although Uncle Fu’s combat ability is indeed higher than the Shuang Sha, it’s not exactly sky-reaching..."
Lin Jincheng seemed to recall something; the Shuang Sha had once mentioned that the little girl accompanying Zhang Wei had an even more terrifying combat ability.
"Dad, as your son, I rarely ask you for anything. This time I’m just borrowing two people from you, why can’t you just..."
Seeing that Lin Jincheng was not conceding, Lin Xiangtian became agitated.
"Alright, I’ll lend them to you!"
But Lin Jincheng didn’t wait for his son to complain and directly agreed.
"Thanks, Dad. With the Twin Evils on my side, I don’t see how I can lose!"
Having received the affirmative news, Lin Xiangtian finally relaxed completely.
After exchanging a few more words with Lin Jincheng and being chided by his father a few times, he ultimately hung up the phone, content and satisfied.
Then, he waited in his office for another hour.
Whoosh whoosh!
Two sounds of air splitting were heard, and then two indistinct figures appeared behind him.
The Shuang Sha had arrived.
"You’re here!"
"Yes, Second Young Master, we have arrived!"
The one who spoke was the male of the Twin Evils, his voice low and hoarse, without a trace of emotion.
"Good. Your mission for the next two days is to keep an eye on Zhang Wei, to ensure he doesn’t find any critical information."
"Keep an eye on Zhang Wei. But if he really does find some critical information, what should we do?"
The man continued to speak and raised his hand, making a throat-slitting gesture, "Is this okay?"
"Fine my ass!" Lin Xiangtian immediately shook his head, "The kid is a defense lawyer. If he dies during the case, won’t that clearly tell everyone that there’s a problem with this case?"
"Then, what should we do?"
"Report the situation to me, and then I will make a decision. If..."
Lin Xiangtian mused, carefully considering what to do in case of unexpected situations.
"If the kid really finds key evidence and you don’t have time to report to me, then take action to destroy the evidence. If there’s a witness, make sure he never speaks again, got it!"
"Understood. We’ll go keep an eye on that kid."
After the Shuang Sha finished speaking, their figures turned into two dark shadows, blending into the shadows of the office, and quickly disappeared.
When Lin Xiangtian turned around, there was no longer any sign of the Shuang Sha.
"Tsk tsk tsk, coming and going without a trace, now that’s professional!"
He smacked his lips, unabashedly giving a thumbs up.
It was the same old saying; with the Twin Evils on his side, he really didn’t know how he could lose!
...
Late at night, 12 o’clock.
This time Zhang Wei didn’t host a strategy meeting, but in the dead of night, he strolled alone to the crossroads of Sifang Gate Street.
He simply observed quietly, looking at the empty street in front of him.
The sky was dark, the moon just above the brow, its radiance spilling down, and the entire Dongfang Capital was tranquil.
Standing in the middle of the crossroads, Zhang Wei’s mind simulated the circumstances on the day of the incident.
In a daze, his eyes slowly opened, and he "saw" a red sports car speeding towards the traffic light at the crossroads at a breakneck pace.
The piercing sound of the engine, like the roar of a monster, echoed as the car raced forward.
That sound was loud; Lu Ma walking on the street surely must have heard it.
Faced with a rapidly approaching sports car, most people, driven by the instinct to survive, would surely attempt to dodge.
Lu Ma certainly tried to dodge, but unfortunately, she didn’t escape, or rather...
"Wu Renjie did it on purpose, he intentionally hit Lu Ma!"
In just an instant, Zhang Wei felt as if he had "seen" the events of that night.
Bang!
A loud explosion followed by the screeching sound of tires rubbing against the pavement.
The sports car stopped, and then Wu Renjie, from the driver’s seat, moved Xiao Mo Moji from the passenger seat to the driver’s seat and sat in the passenger seat himself. The sports car then sped away.
At the scene, Lu Ma was covered in blood. If it hadn’t been for her instinctual last moment dodge, she may have died right there and then.
With that, the scene ended.
Zhang Wei watched the sports car disappear into the distance, lost in thought.
"Lu Ma dodged, but did not dodge completely!"
"Wu Renjie moved Xiao Mo Moji from the passenger seat, and Sister Xiao Wu saw that too, so why was it ’moved’ instead of ’helped’?"
"Also, as they sped away, where did they go? There might be clues later on!"
There’s nothing much to say about the first point. If Lu Ma had dodged, the current situation wouldn’t have happened.
The second point puzzled Zhang Wei. Xiao Mo Moji should have been unconscious at that time; driving should have been difficult.
That’s why Wu Renjie couldn’t just help her but had to ’move’ her, as she must have been as limp as a corpse.
The third point was the focus of Zhang Wei’s attention. Wu Renjie took off with Xiao Mo Moji, but where did they go?
To find this out, Zhang Wei had to seek help from his lovely second daughter.
"It’s getting late, let’s go back to rest!"
He returned to his residence at Lin Mansion and then went up to the second floor, carefully knocking on the door of a room.
"What’s up?"
The room’s door opened, and out peeked the curious and adorable little head of his second daughter.
"Xiao Xiao, I need you to help me confirm something."
"Hehe!" Zhao Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes but did not immediately refuse.
"Please help me like this, like that..."
Zhang Wei began to instruct.
After receiving her orders, Zhao Xiaoxiao closed the door and began gathering information.
Zhang Wei also returned to his room, satisfied, only to find an unexpected person in his room as he opened the door.
"Sister Xiao Wu, how come you are here?"
"Zhang Wei, I’m having trouble sleeping..."
Zhang Xinwu lowered her head, her cheeks as red as ripe apples.
Obviously, this ’trouble sleeping’ was actually an excuse...
The night was destined to be sleepless.
...
The next day.
Saturday morning.
Zhang Wei glanced at the satisfied smile on the face of Zhang Xinwu next to him and contentedly got out of bed.
Compared to Jessica and Xia Qianyue, Zhang Xinwu’s skin was more elastic due to her years of martial arts training, especially those tight, long legs. He finally understood what ’leg play for years’ meant.
After getting out of bed, Zhang Wei reminisced about last night’s memory of those jade legs wrapped around him, and he felt some longing.
And today was Saturday—he had work to do.
After making a hearty breakfast for his second daughter and Sister Xiao Wu, Zhang Wei naturally called the two women to eat breakfast together.
However, during breakfast, even though his second daughter was still sleepy-eyed, the way she looked at Zhang Xinwu was somewhat strange.
She always felt that there was something odd about the relationship between Zhang Wei and Sister Xiao Wu.
Zhang Xinwu’s gaze towards Zhang Wei was tender and affectionate, like water, which indeed made one sense some irregularities.
Luckily, his second daughter had little exposure to the matters between men and women. If Jessica were here, she might have noticed something unusual at first glance.
"Here, this is what you wanted!"
"You have the data from the sports car’s headquarters too, right?"
"Of course! Don’t you know who I am? There’s no information I can’t get!"
"That’s great!"
Zhang Wei took the information from Zhao Xiaoxiao and started to review it.
"Zhang Wei, what is this?"
"It’s about the issue of where Wu Renjie went after he hit Lu Ma!"
Zhang Wei said, putting down the information and smiling, "Let’s wait for Silly and the others to come over, then we’ll talk in the next room!"
After breakfast, Xia Qianyue and Jessica arrived, but Mo Yuzhu had gone back to work, as the forensic lab was also busy on weekends.
The temporary operation center.
Zhang Wei held the information in his hand and began to explain the newly acquired intelligence.
"What I have here is the GPS data from the sports car company. The car Wu Renjie drove that day was a super sports car worth over 10 million. The headquarters installs a GPS system inside these sports cars that only professionals can dismantle."
"The purpose of this positioning system is to prevent sports cars from being stolen, allowing the headquarters to locate them immediately, and to prevent the owners from acting recklessly, insisting on driving to dangerous locations, and being able to ask for help from the headquarters if they get lost."
"Naturally, the system contains the trajectory chart of the vehicle driven by Wu Renjie on the day of the accident, and I had Xiao Xiao print it out,"
Zhang Wei put up a photo on the blackboard and circled a section of the route with a red pen.
"This section is Sifang Gate Street. You can see on the satellite image that this intersection is just behind our back door. Look here, there’s a clear deceleration and a stop in the track. Wu Renjie paused here for about 20 seconds before continuing on."
This period of time was exactly when the sports car hit Lu Ma, Wu Renjie got out to check, and then switched drivers and fled.
"After that, the kid sped off, and the route map also tells us where he went, but..."
Zhang Wei paused for a moment and circled a second red circle at an intersection two streets away.
"Here, the vehicle paused again for 10 seconds!"
This was a key location. Why didn’t Wu Renjie just keep running and instead stopped here?
"Why did he stop?" Xia Qianyue raised her hand, pointing at the second location on the blackboard.
"Simple, he was afraid of dying!"
Zhang Wei provided the answer.
"At the time, after Wu Renjie hit Lu Ma, why did he switch places with Xiao Mo Moji? Because he knew the latter had diplomatic immunity and wouldn’t be afraid even if he killed someone."
"But you can’t overlook one thing: Xiao Mo Moji was already dead drunk inside the car; after switching places, Wu Renjie regretted it. Because at that time, whether Xiao Mo Moji was even conscious was a question, let alone driving."
Xia Qianyue nodded, pointing at the second location and said with realization, "That is to say, Wu Renjie realized the safety hazard and switched their positions back again?"
"Yes, he was afraid of dying, so in the end, he chose to drive himself and moved Xiao Mo Moji back to the passenger seat!"
Zhang Wei looked at the trajectory on the satellite map and made such a guess.
Although it was a guess, he knew it was the truth. Wu Renjie, no matter how foolish, wouldn’t let someone who was so drunk they were unconscious drive him in a getaway car.
Moreover, to use the diplomatic immunity, one only needed to let Xiao Mo Moji confess; there was no need to switch places at that time.
In fact, if it weren’t for Wu Renjie getting out of the car to check and forcibly switching positions with Xiao Mo Moji, Zhang Xinwu wouldn’t have seen who the killer was.
Without the kid’s unnecessary action, the truth might have been harder to uncover.
"Next, is the second clue I found!"
As he spoke, Zhang Wei used the red pen to circle the end of the trajectory.
"Where did Wu Renjie take Xiao Mo Moji? They ended up here that night!"
"What place is this?" Zhang Xinwu also raised her hand, curious.
"This is a wealthy neighborhood in Dongfang Capital. The place where Wu Renjie took Xiao Mo Moji was actually the home of a female internet celebrity, and this internet celebrity..."
Continuing to speak, Zhang Wei took out a photograph and put it up on the blackboard.
The photo showed a busty woman taking a selfie in front of a mirror, and beside the woman stood a man—it was Wu Renjie.
"Look, Wu Renjie had an affair with this woman, so after the incident, his first thought was to hide at this woman’s house."
"So our objective today is to find clues through this woman?"
Zhao Xiaoxiao tilted her head, starting to think.
"Exactly, maybe this woman saw Wu Renjie bringing Xiao Mo Moji, or perhaps she witnessed Wu Renjie getting out of the driver’s seat!"
"But if she is Wu Renjie’s girl, how would she testify for you?"
"There’s a saying that goes well: where there’s a will, there’s a way. Maybe the woman will change her stance, right?"
Zhang Wei spread his hands and then began packing up to leave.
The group got ready and left Zhang’s Martial Arts School.
But the moment they stepped out the door, Zhang Xinwu felt a chill run down her spine, her warrior’s intuition warning her that some dangerous individual seemed to have set their sights on them.
"Sister Xiao Wu, you feel it too, right? There’s a killing intent?"
Zhang Wei was also frowning, as he felt it too.
Zhang Wei wasn’t a warrior, but his intuition was even sharper than that of an average warrior.
"Simple-minded person, do you feel it?"
"I do, and I also know where they are. But I think they aren’t very threatening,"
Xia Qianyue said, about to point in a certain direction.
"Wait, Simple-minded person, maybe our chance has come!"
But her action was immediately stopped by Zhang Wei.
The enemy had prepared unconventional means, which Zhang Wei had guessed.
But he hadn’t expected Xia Qianyue to be able to lock onto them so quickly; this meant there was a lot of room to maneuver!
Zhang Wei felt like heaven was helping him.
No, it should be said the enemy was helping him; these people had unwittingly done him a huge favor!
