How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 115: Confronting Li Changsheng

"You’re Lin Xiaosu from Fengcheng Detective Agency?" Li Changsheng said, his voice very steady.

"Yes!"

With just one sentence, almost everyone’s gaze was drawn to him, their eyes suddenly full of complex emotions.

Everyone also knew what the name Lin Xiaosu meant.

"What are you doing here?" This was Li Changsheng’s question.

"Just passing by, watching the excitement," Lin Xiaosu replied.

Li Changsheng said coldly, "Is there another meaning to it? Coming to admire your masterpiece?"

His words were low, without any fluctuation, but the implication was definitely confrontational, causing several police officers to squint their eyes.

And Li Changsheng himself, with a pair of fierce eyes, firmly locked onto Lin Xiaosu, ready to catch any slight emotional change.

Jiangcheng’s First Detective He Jiang was also squinting his eyes at Lin Xiaosu, observing every move on his face.

Knock on the mountain to scare the tiger!

This is called knocking on the mountain to scare the tiger!

Sometimes, when there are no leads in a case, this tactic might shake out some unexpected results.

Even though Li Changsheng was not an expert in this field, having been seasoned in business and seen too many things, he could intuitively grasp some techniques in solving cases.

Lin Xiaosu said lightly, "My masterpiece, heh... I feel it looks more like your masterpiece."

"What do you mean?" Li Changsheng said.

Those present were also puzzled.

"There’s an old saying: Pride invites disaster! And pride, often stems from lack of parental discipline..." Lin Xiaosu said, "Chairman Li, would I be wrong to say that your son’s misfortune today is your masterpiece?"

At these words, the entire room was shocked.

What is this?

A provocation!

The man’s son’s corpse is still by the lake, and you dare to provoke?

Telling the world that his death was deserved!

Is that looking for a beating?

Yes, Lin Xiaosu indeed looked like he was asking for a beating at the moment, but who could really hit him?

If you lay a hand on him, and he defends himself righteously again, do you think he couldn’t?

Even facing Li Changsheng, he remained defiant.

Even if his words were inappropriate at a funeral, who provoked him first?

You, without evidence, accuse him of coming to "see your masterpiece," directly implying he is the murderer, is he not entitled to fight back?

The first confrontation...

Sparks flew!

The almighty leader of Changsheng, Li Changsheng, was so angered by Lin Xiaosu that it twisted his gut, nearly causing him to explode.

But Li Changsheng was not a fool.

He turned his gaze to the police captain behind him: "Captain Xing, this man had an altercation with my son before the incident, has a motive for the crime, he is an Ancient Martial Inheritor fitting the profile of the crime, and his post-crime mockery fits the psychological profile... Shouldn’t we detain him first?"

Captain Xing slowly approached...

Li Changsheng’s words moved everyone present...

Even pure bystanders felt their internal scales tipping...

Suddenly, a person appeared behind Lin Xiaosu: "Chairman Li, I can understand your feelings, but there is a key element for the act of crime, the time of the crime! Lin Xiaosu was brought to the Criminal Investigation Team by me about ten minutes before the incident, and he has been there ever since, only rushing over after hearing about Li Songtao’s drowning."

The deputy captain then noticed his higher-up, positioned himself, and saluted, "Captain Shen!"

Well, that cleared the prime suspect.

Li Changsheng’s gaze slowly moved away from Chief Shen’s face: "Even if it wasn’t him personally, couldn’t there be an accomplice? After all, he’s the only one with the motive."

This made everyone uncertain again.

Lin Xiaosu sighed lightly, "Ordinarily to respond to such unfounded talk would be a double insult to law and intelligence, but since Chairman Li mentioned motive, I think it is necessary to discuss the motive! If this case is a murder, it must be from vengeance. Everyone agrees, right? And the birth of hatred is usually from being wronged; those who benefit do not harbor resentment. Reflecting on my engagement with Li Songtao, who benefited? Me! I called him a good-for-nothing, insulted his father, and even incapacitated his lackey on the spot. I took total advantage, so even if there was any resentment, it’s been completely dissipated. Why would I have any reason to kill him afterward?"

These words convinced people with their philosophical insight, but many still wore expressions of sour displeasure.

This was said in front of Li Changsheng—aren’t you afraid of provoking him?

The atmosphere became a bit odd...

Lin Xiaosu added, "Chairman Li also knows that I’m a detective, fundamentally a solver of cases. Since I’ve stumbled upon this, I do have a direction for investigation. Would you like to hear it, Chairman Li?"

Hmm?

Including the police, everyone perked up. Was this Fengcheng’s Detective turning tables? Really planning to help solve the case?

Regarding his extraordinary methods of solving cases, whether others in Jiangcheng knew was another matter, but at least two groups very familiar were here today—Changsheng Group internally and Jiangcheng Public Security System.

Most present were from these two places.

They held some trust in Lin Xiaosu’s detective skills.

"Little Su, give us your analysis..." even Shen Yinchuan was eager to hear.

Lin Xiaosu said, "Why not post online asking for clues, see if this Third Young Master Li did anything offensive in Jiangcheng, who he’s antagonized, and what led to those conflicts. If the clues are meticulously gathered and detailed, theoretically it shouldn’t be difficult to identify the real criminal..."

A reasonable suggestion was made.

A very standard approach.

But why did everyone’s face seem a bit odd?

Some wore expressions of sour displeasure.

And some seemed fired up?

Only because of one point, this rationalization suggestion is quite malicious...

Li Changsheng felt a true inferno raging within him.

You motherfucker, you even won’t let the dead rest.

Who doesn’t know that my third son committed many misdeeds in Jiangcheng?

So this mobilization of yours, is it to gather clues?

It’s to vilify my son even after his death!

You want my Li Family to be pointed at by thousands in Jiangcheng!

You want the whole of Jiangcheng to say, Li Songtao, deserves more than death!

"Su’er!" A voice arose from the suffocating silence, it was Ding Lizhong.

Ding Lizhong said, "Don’t talk nonsense, let’s go home!"

He gestured slightly with his hand, a car drove over, he and Lin Xiaosu got into the car, and headed home on the highway.

Li Changsheng’s icy gaze landed on this car.

The people from the Changsheng Group present all simultaneously felt their hearts skip a beat.

Just now, they only saw this surnamed Lin acting recklessly, now they soberly realized something - this person was no ordinary person, he was Ding Lizhong’s son-in-law!

Li Changsheng with a grim face stepped onto a flying car, his daughter helped him and took a few steps, also entering the flying car, the door of the flying car silently closed, turning it into a sealed space.

"What does Ding Lizhong mean by this?" Li Changsheng said solemnly.

"It must be to relieve his stress!" Li Ziyi said.

"He’s worried about the Changsheng Group sanctioning that surnamed Lin, so he’s taking on this pressure to spare us from targeting him and thus having to hold back?"

"That’s the only intent!"

Li Changsheng’s gaze gradually turned icy cold: "He’s overestimating his capabilities! Let’s go, back to the company!"

"Go? Dad, about third brother..."

"The person is gone, what’s the use of these formalities? Send to the crematorium, scatter the ashes!" Li Changsheng said, "Back to the company!"

The flying car soared into the sky, leaving the scene.

Below on the highway, Ding Lizhong’s car was also speeding along.

Lin Xiaosu’s gaze slowly turned towards Ding Lizhong: "Uncle, stepping out now wasn’t very wise."

"This feud with the Li Family, ultimately, is because of my Ding Family, at this time, if I don’t relieve your pressure, do I still deserve to be called your... uncle?" Ding Lizhong said.

"Aren’t you afraid of directly facing Li Changsheng’s wrath?"

"What’s there to fear? Modern society is a society ruled by law; as long as it wasn’t you, we have nothing to fear! This is called: If you’ve done nothing wrong, you’ve got nothing to fear from ghosts knocking at your door at midnight!"

A knot in Lin Xiaosu’s heart quietly unraveled.

Today’s events, with various twists and turns, also held endless intrigue.

In this world, only he knew that the murder case was committed by Ding Ruoshui.

His farcical altercation with Li Changsheng was actually also an indirect way to divert the case, drawing everyone’s attention to himself, making Ding Ruoshui effectively "invisible under the light."

He certainly wasn’t worried about getting burned because he had solid evidence proving his innocence.

Once his suspicion was cleared, Ding Ruoshui would naturally also be excluded.

This was a very masterful psychological misdirection.

And now Ding Lizhong stepping forward to take on some of the pressure.

That was unexpected.

This also indirectly showed that Old Ding, this comrade, truly was unaware of his daughter’s situation...

Otherwise, he absolutely would not dare to boldly say: If you’ve done nothing wrong, you’ve got nothing to fear from ghosts knocking at your door at midnight.

Entering Ding’s Villa.

Mrs. Ding and Ding Ruoshui were both sitting in the living room.

Both looked a bit nervous. Upon seeing Ding Lizhong and Lin Xiaosu enter together, Mrs. Ding approached: "Did that third kid from the Li Family really die in a car accident, drowned?"

Ding Lizhong nodded slightly, his expression somber.

"Did he die normally, or..."

Ding Lizhong raised his hand to interrupt: "Why analyze recklessly? That’s the police’s job! Anyway, Su’er was being questioned at the Criminal Investigation Team, and the evidence is solid, it’s unrelated to him!"

Mrs. Ding breathed a sigh of relief: "That’s good, that’s good, as long as it’s unrelated to us, then it’s good."

Ding Ruoshui sat on the sofa the entire time, her face undisturbed, occasionally opening her big eyes to look at one person and then another, completely harmless.

Lin Xiaosu caught these nuances, his heart lightly stirred...

This young girl, she’s beyond words.

But her parents, they moved him somewhat.

Ding Lizhong stepping forward to share the pressure, he felt somewhat moved.

Mrs. Ding releasing her worries from the bottom of her heart, her phrase "as long as it’s unrelated to us" also moved him; in her eyes, she truly considered him part of the family.

The night that followed proceeded as usual.

If there had to be something slightly unusual, it was that Ding Lizhong felt it unusual - before going to bed at night, he received a notification from his office: a shareholders meeting was scheduled for nine o’clock the next morning.

This...

"What’s wrong?" Mrs. Ding asked him.

"There’s a shareholders meeting tomorrow." Ding Lizhong’s eyebrows were furrowed: "How can Old Li still be in the mood for meetings?"

Mrs. Ding also understood, full of suspicion: "Yeah, his son just died, how can he be in the mood for a meeting? Could it be that his son... like Huang Chengwang, also had some issues within the company?"

"Let it be, let’s sleep!"
