I Play Dungeons in the Police Station-Chapter 372 - 230: Drowned? (Part 2)

"Alright, since that’s the case, if you’re bold enough to do it, be bold enough to face the consequences. Cut off whatever you used to commit the mistake."

"Huh?"

Jing Chuanchao felt a chill below, sensing his "little buddy" shivering.

"What’s wrong? You’re unwilling?"

Only a fool would be willing!

Jing Chuanchao was inwardly cursing, yet his face showed a constipated expression as he pleaded, "President Hu, let’s change it, I’ll definitely do something else."

"Am I bargaining with you?"

President Hu’s expression turned stern as he said with a straight face.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was another knock on the door from outside.

At this time, everyone in the company had already left, who could it be?

"Come in."

President Hu seemed to know who would come in at this time and didn’t look surprised.

After the office door opened, a fierce-looking person entered, and it was clear these people were not to be trifled with.

"President Hu, we’re here, where’s that kid?"

"Kneeling over there."

When they saw Jing Chuanchao, they immediately showed wicked smiles, and one of them walked up to him and said with a grin, "So you’re the kid who fancies the boss’s wife, huh."

Pfft~

President Hu: "Ahem~"

Slap~

"If you can’t speak, don’t. No one’s mistaking you for a mute."

"Yes, yes, President Hu, sorry, I’m not good at talking."

President Hu’s head was genuinely aching, this incident happening under his watch was a lifelong disgrace.

But with things as they were, he couldn’t do much but redirect his anger towards Jing Chuanchao.

"Take him away and castrate him."

"Yes."

Four people ignored Jing Chuanchao’s pleas and dragged him out.

Meanwhile, far away in Jinghai, Li Xiang and the others were live-streaming their antics.

Especially Lin Feifei, upon hearing that President Hu was actually going to cut off Jing Chuanchao’s "little buddy," felt a rush of satisfaction.

"Let’s see what he has to rely on in the future."

Then, they heard someone dragging Jing Chuanchao away, and in the car, these guys teased Jing Chuanchao, some commending his courage, some admiring his guts, and others even marveling at his nerve to post such things in the company group chat.

Soon, they reached the riverbank, got on a cruise ship, and two people tied him up firmly: "Wait, what are you guys doing?"

"Drowning you!"

"Wait, not drowning, it’s castrating, it’s castrating."

"Nonsense, of course we know it’s drowning, just shut up."

With that, they sealed his mouth with tape.

Jing Chuanchao felt desperate!

He had never wished so much in his life to be castrated.

Are these people deaf?

They wouldn’t even listen to his explanation.

The more he struggled, the more they felt it was justified.

Facing death, who wouldn’t struggle fiercely?

If it’s about sinking someone, the heavy iron chains and iron balls are a must.

With a splash, Jing Chuanchao was thrown into the water.

"Wait, why does this sound like drowning?"

The recording on the phone didn’t sound quite right, Li Xiang hurriedly used Jing Chuanchao’s phone to locate them and found out they were indeed in the river.

"They’ve caused a death."

Originally, President Hu was just supposed to castrate Jing Chuanchao, but unexpectedly these fools misheard, thinking it was drowning, leading to him being thrown into the river to feed the fish.

"Huh? Li Xiang, what do we do?"

"What’s there to do? We didn’t kill anyone, why are you panicking?"

Li Xiang consoled Lin Feifei, then began thinking about how to handle the situation.

"Actually, this is good."

Upon reflection, with Jing Chuanchao dead, it’s not a bad thing; in fact, it’s a good thing.

Lin Feifei’s contract with the company hasn’t expired yet, and now the company is using this as leverage to sue for compensation.

Li Xiang didn’t know how much evidence the company had to support this claim, or how much the court would accept, he had no certainty.

If it really went like Jing Chuanchao said, being sued into bankruptcy, wouldn’t Li Xiang have to work hard for decades more?

Anyway, to solve the fundamental problem, the company must be prevented from suing.

Li Xiang didn’t have the leverage to ask the company not to sue.

Now there’s another way, which is to make the company too entangled with other matters to care about this case.

If President Hu’s hired murder becomes subject to an investigation, would the company have any resources left to handle other small matters?

Thinking of this, Li Xiang organized the evidence he had, using Jing Chuanchao’s phone to compile their actions and the location of the drowning.

"This enormous wealth still lands on Yu Zhi’s head."

The company is in Jinling City, the incident naturally falls under the jurisdiction of Jinling City Public Security Bureau. As the head of the criminal investigation team, Yu Chuanfei is duty-bound to lead the criminal investigation.

With his relationship with Yu Zhi, just a call could have the Jinling City Public Security Bureau’s criminal investigation team intervening in the case.

But this time, Li Xiang didn’t make that call.

He didn’t want to get involved in the case, not even showing his face; he didn’t want any suspicious gazes directed at him.

Hence, Li Xiang used internet technology, through an anonymous email, to package and send the case details and clues to Yu Chuanfei.

Afterwards, he turned off the computer and went to prepare dinner with Lin Feifei.

-----------------

The next day,

Jinling City Public Security Bureau, in the criminal investigation office.

Yu Chuanfei arrived early, opened his computer, and as usual, checked his email.

There was an unread email.

Sent by an unknown sender, at first, he thought it was spam.

But then he read the title: "Murder Clue Provided."

Murder case?

As the criminal investigation team leader, Yu Chuanfei was particularly sensitive to murder cases.

He quickly opened the email to check it out.

He found himself shocked upon reviewing the email.

The murder case involved a well-known local entertainment company and was also yesterday’s top trending topic.

"Is this real?"

Upon seeing the email, Yu Chuanfei’s first impression was that it was fake, probably sent by some bored person stirring trouble.

But on second thought, the likelihood of such mischief was low.

"Whether it’s real or not, verifying it is pretty easy."

Yu Chuanfei prepared to contact Jing Chuanchao, as long as he was fine, it would indicate the email was merely a prank.

The initial phone verification yielded no answer.

Yu Chuanfei decided to take his team to the talent agency to investigate in person.

The team, in uniform, arrived at the company reception desk, showed their credentials, and asked, "Did Jing Chuanchao come to work today?"

"Jing Chuanchao?" The receptionist instinctively ducked her head upon hearing the name.

The three words were taboo in the company now, mentioning them would set President Hu off.

"Did he come to the office?" Yu Chuanfei repeated the question.

"How could he possibly still be at work? The incident yesterday was known nationwide, President Hu would never let him come back!"

Having hit a dead end, Yu Chuanfei wasn’t deterred and planned to check his home.

Upon reaching his residence, ringing the doorbell yielded no response, prompting Yu Chuanfei to request permission from his superior to break in.

With assistance from a locksmith company, the door was opened within a minute, and upon entering, they found everything normal inside, except the person was missing.

He wasn’t home, hadn’t gone to work, and his phone was off.

"Could the email be true?"

At this point, Yu Chuanfei had to acknowledge that the email sent anonymously to his inbox might truly be from someone in the know.

Now, there’s another way to confirm that what the email claimed is genuine.

Hiring a professional salvage team to retrieve Jing Chuanchao’s body from the river, though this plan would require a significant budget.

Since conventional methods failed to locate Jing Chuanchao, they had to resort to unconventional means.

After all, the email provided a location for the body disposal.

The materials Li Xiang provided were very detailed, hardly seeming fake.

"Yu Zhi, the salvage team leader is here; they’re asking where to start!"

"Start right here."

Yu Chuanfei marked the location from the email and handed it to the salvage team. As they commenced their operation, he positioned himself to wait and observe nearby.
