Chapter 168 Conscience is more important than science
Ji Fenglin asked Uncle Yao to park the car on the side of the street opposite the newspaper office, and got out of the car. He looked at the endless stream of people who came to mourn Li Zhongtian as they silently and orderly entered the mourning hall on the first floor of the newspaper office. Everyone held a copy of "
Oriental Morning News". After paying homage to the people who came out, everyone had an extra copy of "Blood and Ink" in their hands.
A wave of complicated emotions surged through his heart.
Ji Fenglin joined the mourning team. He wanted to feel the unique sadness with the people here.
On both sides of the door of the newspaper office, there is an elegiac couplet written by him: "Like a huge pen in a rafter suddenly breaking, the backbone of a river or mountain suddenly lost." It's just that there is an additional horizontal inscription on it, which reads: "The soul of the hero will always be there."
Ji Fenglin walked through the porch and bowed three times to Li Zhongtian's body along with the crowd. Then he paid homage to Li Zhongtian's remains. He felt his legs were shaking a little, and the past reappeared in front of his eyes. Everything was frozen in an instant, frozen in the flowers of Mr. Li.
In the tranquility surrounded by green cypresses.
Tears welled up uncontrollably, turning everything into a haze.
As usual, he went to express condolences to the newspaper employees who were "relatives". However, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and was so surprised that his whole body started to tremble.
Standing at the head of the first row was Mu Tian, who was wearing sackcloth and mourning!
Hu Ti, Jin Hu, followed by Ji Ruoxi.
Holding Mu Tian's hand, Ji Fenglin's lips moved violently a few times, then burst into tears and began to howl.
Everyone stopped walking or doing anything, staring at Ji Fenglin who was in severe pain, and then all their eyes moved to Li Zhongtian. No matter where they were, they bowed deeply towards Li Zhongtian again.
Mu Tian took out a hand and patted Ji Fenglin's shoulder.
Ji Fenglin had stopped crying, but still said in a deep voice with a tearful tone: "What Mr. Li doesn't want is such a filial son. Just do what you should do."
"Don't worry, sir, I have transferred important calls here. I just want to spend more time with Mr. Li."
Ji Fenglin was stunned for a moment, then reached out and patted him on the shoulder.
Yao Lizhun walked over and bowed: "Mr. Ji, I have a call for Mr. Mu, he said he is from the patrol room."
Mu Tian looked at Ji Fenglin with a questioning look on his face, "I'm sorry, Mr. Ji, I... will go."
Ji Fenglin nodded.
Mu Tian followed Yao Lishun upstairs, and unexpectedly received a call from the chief writer's office.
Mu Tian didn't have time to think about it, so he grabbed the receiver on the table and said, "Hello, I'm Mu Tian."
On the other end of the phone is Jiang Xinyi.
"What happened in Xuhui made such a big fuss last night? Qini even called the Chief Inspector!"
"You can handle this."
"You know that Chini is a man who eats people without spitting out their bones, right?"
"How do I know about your patrol room? How about this? You send someone to Yiheju at noon to get four small yellow croakers to kill the trouble."
"Okay. But I guess this matter is not over yet."
"Of course it's not over yet. Now help me check on a person named Qi Weimin. Looking at his background, he should be Lin Xiao's friend and very close to him."
"I know that this person was the confidential secretary assigned to Lin Xiao when the appointment was confirmed. It is said that he is also a candidate for the future city secretary-general of Da Dao. Because he is a newbie in politics, and his specific background is still under investigation. I will
Give it to you as soon as possible."
"Okay, I understand."
Mu Tian put down the phone and thought that he would go to Qiao's Mansion next. Before that, he had to go to the detective agency. It was time to play Lin Xiangyun's card.
He returned to the mourning hall and told Hu Ti to stay here for him, and left Jin Hu behind in case Hu Ti or Ji Ruoxi used the car temporarily, "I'm in a hurry, so I won't say hello to uncle. I will come over as soon as I have time.
Take care of yourself." He said this to Ji Ruoxi.
Ji Ruoxi looked at him in surprise, because "Mr. Ji and Uncle Ji" in his words became "uncle". Can tragedy really make people grow up instantly? Indescribable emotions rolled through her heart, but
She just said a soft "hmm" on her face and looked straight at his back as he walked out of the mourning hall.
When Mu Tian knocked on the door and came in, Lin Xiangyun had just finished counting the checks he received last night. It was a congratulatory gift for his appointment as the vice president of Hengxiang Department Store, totaling 3.7 million. However, he was scolding those who signed the checks.
They are all villains. They just signed the check because they were afraid that others would not know who sent it. What's more, there are two paychecks. How can I cash it out? How cool would it be to cash it out?
"Mr. Mu, no, hello, Inspector." Lin Xiangyun stood up from the table and bowed.
Mu Tian raised his hand and said, "Sit down."
Lin Xiangyun sat down and stared at Mu Tian, wondering what Mu Tian would do next.
"Give me your private seal, and I will take the check away. I will open a separate account for you in Hengxiang's account later, and 20% will be transferred to your account. I, Mu Tian, will do it as I say. Do you think it's okay?"
"Okay, okay, Detective, you have the final say on everything." Lin Xiangyun held a stack of checks, felt comfortable on the table, and handed them to Mu Tian, "I don't have a private seal on me, and it's troublesome to find it, so just
Could you please engrave one for me?"
Mu Tian nodded, took the check and put it in his briefcase.
"That's it, Mr. Mu, um, Detective, could you please tell me below that I can go out for a walk, just upstairs, not even in the yard, and I have to close the curtains. This...
"
Mu Tian smiled, "What? Isn't it better that there is no patrol room here?"
Lin Xiangyun's face immediately became horrified, and it was obvious that he was still frightened.
"You want greater freedom, to be able to walk proudly on the Bund. Don't worry, the day will come. Just wait, it will only be three to five days, and then I will invite you to make a grand appearance." Mu.
Tian said with a sincere expression, "Let's go. Don't think too much, you will have everything you want. I have to build the platform for you."
When they heard that Mu Tian was coming, the concierge immediately informed them, and Geng Yibiao hurriedly ran out to greet them. When they arrived at the living room, Qiao Shikuan was already waiting there.
Mu Tian raised his hands and said hello, and Qiao Shikuan hurriedly gave up his seat.
Mutian didn't have anything to say, so he took out the check and said it was from Lin Xiangyun yesterday. He asked Geng Yibiao to take it to the bank to cash it, and then opened a separate account for Lin Xiangyun and deposited 20% into it. He waited and talked again.
Geng Yibiao listened to the young master's eloquent words and couldn't help but cast his eyes on Qiao Shikuan.
I saw Qiao Shikuan just looking at Mu Tian with a happy smile and nodding his head. This was the relief of "there is a successor".
Geng Yibiao still called out: "Master."
Qiao Shikuan knew what Geng Yibiao meant, so he waved his hand and said, "Just do it according to the wishes of Young Master... Mu... Inspector."
Geng Yibiao accepted the order and left.
"Mr. Qiao, let's talk about the opening ceremony of Hengxiang." Mu Tianxiao looked at Qiao Shikuan, who had been immersed in his own joy, and said with a secret smile.
"Okay, okay. What's your suggestion, Inspector Mu? The opening date has been postponed repeatedly."
"oh?"
"I want to wait for a day of double happiness." Qiao Shikuan said carefully, looking at Mu Tian hard.
"I understand. I said, we have to wait until my mother comes to confirm this." Mu Tian suddenly said coldly.
"I know, I know. Hengxiang originally decided to open the business before you, Inspector... well, went out on business, but you just... stopped talking about it. How about we go to a hospital in Germany for a blood test?"
When Mu Tian heard this, he couldn't help laughing, "Do you still believe this?"
"This is not what you young people are fashionable about, it's science." Qiao Shikuan was obviously looking for endorsement for his proposal.
"Mr. Qiao, science is certainly credible, but in this matter, conscience is more important. Hengxiang will open in five days. We will discuss the details on the specific day and how to implement it. Where is the 100,000 yuan I want?"
