Attention Sir, I Have Your Heart Handcuffed!-Chapter 435 - 312, Suicide (Part 1 of 3)

Gao Cheng paused here: "When I thought of this point, I recalled the profile Mr. Tang had made for the main culprit in the series of Kangchuan University cases."

At that time, Tang Yanqing had clearly given a profile: the suspect had an extremely high professional background, a very high IQ, and behaved with extreme calmness.

"Hence, I have a hunch, as if we have encountered an ’old friend’ again."

Gao Cheng, who joined the team later, had reached this level, and Tang Yanqing smiled with satisfaction: "Well said."

Fang Xingzhou was still puzzled: "Do you mean that the owners of both bars are suspects? I don’t know about the one in Hong Kong, but at least the one in Singapore was thoroughly interrogated by our police, and nothing unusual was found."

Tang Yanqing remained unhurried: "That’s exactly it."

Fang Xingzhou was instantly bewildered: "How is that right?"

Tang Yanyi couldn’t help but snort: "A rabbit doesn’t eat the grass by its burrow, naturally, they wouldn’t commit crimes in their own store."

Shi Nian glanced at Tang Yanqing and spoke for the first time, reassuring Fang Xingzhou: "Mr. Fang, your doubts are not wrong. Their suspicions don’t lie within their own stores, but they are still suspects because they engage in cross-burglary—meaning the owner from Singapore went to Hong Kong, and the owner from Hong Kong came to Singapore."

"Yes, the Hong Kong owner is a doctor!" Old Qiao also realized and exclaimed softly: "The cross on Judy’s face, the incision is smooth, without hesitation, and they are very familiar with blood coagulation time so that the blood didn’t destroy the drying cross... All these are enough to prove that this person has quite a high professional background. So it is very likely the boss who is a doctor in Hong Kong!"

"Well said." Tang Yanqing encouraged, but raised her eyebrows and glanced at Shi Nian: "Mr. Fang, check the entry records for Singapore, then use physical characteristics to search and compare that person, I believe you will gain something."

Fang Xingzhou immediately made a call.

After arranging things, he sat back at the computer, his expression somewhat solemn.

"Then... what about those work-study students? Are they accomplices?"

"No," Shi Nian firmly answered: "I asked the work-study students about Feng Ling before, their reactions were all very calm, not the least bit panicked. Those body movements were not faked."

Fang Xingzhou frowned: "Then why did both bars choose work-study students, and they are all good students?"

Tang Yanqing laughed, "Among us here, none of us could be considered good students, except Xiao Yi. So let our little sister Xiao Yi speak."

Tang Yanyi’s face instantly turned red with embarrassment, but she still bit her teeth and endured: "Okay, I’ll say it. Because good students have the common trait of aloofness, their personalities do not fit with nightlife venues. However, both bars offered high salaries, so they couldn’t help but bow to the salaries. But in the stores, they only do their jobs well and still keep a distance from the entire club environment. So even if they are watching the store, they won’t pay too much attention to the characteristics of the guests and what the guests are doing—just like in school, good students would be too lazy to look at bad students."

"No wonder." Fang Xingzhou also nodded: "At that time, we also questioned each work-study student, but they appeared indifferent, as if someone had died in the store and it had nothing to do with them. And their description of the situation in the hall was also very incomplete."

Jia Tianzi added: "That’s why these two stores deliberately hire such staff because they are the best cover; it’s like they aren’t even there and won’t notice the secrets hidden in the details."

Fang Xingzhou frowned: "Mr. Jia, aren’t you going to tell us?"

Jia Tianzi nodded: "That’s right, there indeed is someone very suspicious among Qin Jiajun’s exes: a medical student, and she is Singaporean, she might be the one who drew the cross... But, her existence is also just a smokescreen, she didn’t do it. Just check her class schedule, her grade hasn’t reached the actual operation stage of surgery, and she can’t handle the scalpel that skillfully."

Tang Yanqing nodded: "Someone wants to frame Judy’s death as a crime of passion."

Old Qiao, being more straightforward, couldn’t help but ask: "Why?"

Tang Yanqing then smiled: "The purpose of framing it as a crime of passion is naturally to point the suspicion towards people who had feelings for Judy: first there was Little Sound, then me. Little Sound could then connect to my elder sister and younger sister, and through me, they could implicate Xiao Yi, thereby attracting Shi Nian’s attention." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Guan Liang stared at Tang Yanyi, opened his mouth: "So, the Judy case wasn’t about Judy’s death, but—trying to drag Mr. Tang and Mr. Luo down?"

Tang Yanqing only stared at Jia Tianzi.

Jia Tianzi raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded, but said nothing.

Shi Nian then stared at Tang Yanqing: What kind of riddle are they playing?

Tang Yanqing noticed, smiled, and said into the microphone: "I’m going to the bathroom." Then he turned off the earphone and camera, raised his eyes at Shi Nian: "I’m not bent, don’t be afraid."

"Get lost!" Shi Nian couldn’t help but kick him.

He neither dodged nor blocked, but smiled wickedly, reached over to pinch Shi Nian’s chin, coaxing softly: "A kiss, and I’ll tell you."

"Get lost, four." Shi Nian blushed with embarrassment. She was conscious that the screen was filled with heads, knowing they couldn’t see it, but still felt the pressure of being watched by the crowd.

However, being momentarily distracted, Tang Yanqing caught and gave her a searing kiss. Though it was just a light taste, the tip of his tongue rudely poked her lips.

Shi Nian shuddered, pushed him away hard: "Stop it!"

He grabbed her small hand firmly, kneading it: "...That night, I confirmed that it was Little Sound who came out of Yanwu Square, and it was Emperor who drove me. I didn’t tell Emperor the truth then, but I feared Emperor might have seen through it. So I was just confirming this with him."

Shi Nian, being kneaded until she was flushed all over, but her mind stayed clear, nodded instantly: "So both of you suspect that besides the two of you, there was actually someone else who saw that scene, knowing you recognized it was Little Sound... Meaning, someone might have deliberately let you know it was Little Sound, then using the Judy case, wanted to completely destroy your trust in Little Sound."

Tang Yanqing nodded: "And due to Little Sound’s relationship with my family, my distrust would cause a series of chain reactions. Ultimately, the one harmed would be our Tang family."

Shi Nian’s heart skipped a beat, and she nodded involuntarily: "I agree."

Countless encounters had proven that the person had a long-term vision and meticulous planning, so if Meng Chuyan’s death was merely a silencing murder, it would be too elementary, not fitting that person’s character.

If the target was the Tang family, to harm the grandchildren’s generation of the Tang family, then it made sense. And Meng Chuyan, like Nisha, was merely a humble existence, a pawn whose life or death was insignificant.

Dead was dead, no one regretted, nor cared.

Shi Nian lowered her head, tears falling silently. It was for that pitiable girl.

"So you deliberately pursued Meng Chuyan, actually wanting to extract Little Sound, hoping to lessen the impact on Big Sister and Yan Jian..."

Tang Yanqing then smiled, patting her cheek: "Anyway, I have a thick skin, not afraid of being reported; also..." he lowered his eyes, gazing at her: "I have a smart and insightful woman, she won’t misunderstand what I’m doing, so she won’t really be angry with me."

Shi Nian felt she was melting inside, bowed her head low, not daring to meet his eyes, only forcefully muttering to him: "Get lost."

At that moment, the spectators who were left in the dark were unhappy, especially Tang Yanyi, tapping her earpiece vigorously: "Little brother, are you back yet? What’s going on over there?"

Qi Xiuqi folded his arms and said dreamily: "The waters of the Yellow River come from the sky, rushing into the sea never to return."

Jia Tianzi couldn’t help but finish the line: "Flying down three thousand feet, it seems the Milky Way falls from the Nine Heavens."

Guan Liang exclaimed cutely: "Wasting so much water... is that really okay?"

Tang Yanqing, self-proclaimed thick-skinned, couldn’t take it anymore, so he turned on the camera and earpiece, smiling jokingly: "Get lost... Four."

Although Tang Yanyi was slightly angry, she didn’t explode, but Qi Xiuqi’s face didn’t look too good. He chose to ignore Tang Yanqing completely, only asking Shi Nian: "Junior sister, have you seen the coroner? Besides discussing Blood Cross, did the coroner give you stomach contents and time of death?"

Shi Nian took a deep breath, calming herself: "Yes. She had capsule-wrapped white powder in her stomach."

Qi Xiuqi sighed softly: "As expected, she committed suicide."

Fang Xingzhou was the first to jump out to oppose: "The forensic report has naturally long been in our hands, but we just don’t believe she committed suicide. Mr. Tang, what reason does she have to commit suicide?"

At that time, Tang Yanqing advised him that if he wanted to solve the case smoothly in the end, he should temporarily withhold the forensic report from the media.

Fang Xingzhou was puzzled, but the members of Tang Yanqing’s team who knew of Tong’s wife’s existence all lowered their heads sadly.

Living with such a tragic and humiliating identity, every additional day of living was just more days of suffering. The so-called dazzling starlight was just a spectacle in others’ eyes, which actually had nothing to do with Meng Chuyan herself.

In Fang Xingzhou’s eyes, Judy had no reason to commit suicide; but upon returning to the shadows, Meng Chuyan would rather choose to entirely enter a dream.
