Chapter 163 - Why Are You Here?
Chapter 163: Why Are You Here?
Translator: Lordbluefire
Ding Miao stood at a location not far away from the morgue.
She took her phone out and recorded the interaction that happened between Lawyer Li, Shen Ruojing, and Old Zhang.
She then opened her WeChat and found a reporter.
When working here, one would usually run into some sensitive cases. In the past, she had also sold information to reporters and gained some rewards.
Ding Miao typed. [I have new information about the second affluent generation murder case. Do you want it?]
The other party instantly replied. [Yes. $2,000.]
Ding Miao’s lips twitched. [$5,000 or I’ll look for someone else.]
The other party. [Isn’t it too much? What news is this?]
Ding Miao. [The lawyer of the second affluent generation brought someone here to look at the corpse. I guess that they probably wanted to do something to the corpse, hence, I took a video.]
The other party [I want the information, send me.]
After that, he directly transferred $5,000 over.
Upon seeing this, Ding Miao’s lips curled and she sent the video.
The other party was extremely excited after seeing the video. [In the future, contact me more and send me more such videos.]
After sending the news over, the news agency the reporter belonged to already published something before two minutes had even passed. #TheRichHasManyTricks#;
Below the hashtag was the video that Ding Miao took.
The video captured the backs of a few people from earlier. However, only a portion of Lawyer Li’s face and Old Zhang’s full face could be seen. Ding Miao didn’t manage to capture Shen Ruojing.
In the video, the act of Lawyer Li passing a box of cigarettes over could be seen. There was even a row of large red words, ‘The dead cannot die in peace. They want to do something to the corpse so Chu Cimo can be judged innocent. Can the rich do whatever they want?’
Madam Yan had already been stirring this matter up online. She had even accepted the interviews of reporters, so this incident’s popularity was very high.
Hence, this video immediately became trending the moment it was uploaded.
The netizens’ protests were spammed below:
——That’s too much! Luckily, a passionate reporter exposed this. If not, we wouldn’t know what’s happening when that guy is judged innocent!
——In this era, can murderers escape justice?
——Is having money impressive? Yes!
——Doing something to the corpse? What is ‘something’? Are they planning to give the dead a disease? Or are they going to say that the dead victim’s body is unwell, so his death was a coincidence? Hehe.
——There are so many ways to evade punishment in this era, and it truly chills my heart. If killing someone can be brushed aside so casually, I really have to start doubting this era.
——In the past, I trusted the Chu Corporation’s properties a lot. I didn’t expect such a thing to happen. In the future, I will not purchase any property under the Chu Corporation anymore!
——Agreed! Let us boycott them together!

…
Everyone was commenting online, blowing this matter up directly.
Ding Miao’s lips curled into a smile as she looked at these.
At this moment, the unit she belonged to started receiving calls from everyone.
When Captain Cui was downstairs, his handphone rang. He then picked up the phone, and the other party at the end of the line said something that caused his expression to change. “Don’t worry, we will guard the corpse well and not allow anyone to do anything to it. However, we also won’t malign an innocent person. We will definitely judge this case fairly!”
After hanging up, a subordinate asked, “What’s wrong?”
Captain Cui coldly laughed. “This entire incident concerns the Chu Family. Someone wants to stir things to blow the matter up, so the pressure on us is very great. The public keeps scolding us, saying that we are in cahoots with the Chu Family.”
The subordinate frowned. “In that case, we have to solve the case as soon as possible. The longer we drag, the more troublesome things will be.”
“Hmm.” Captain Cui nodded. He then dialed a number on his phone.
No one picked up the phone.
The subordinate asked, “That person should be busy?”
Captain Cui sighed. “Probably. I’ll contact her again later. Let us head down for a look first. The Chu Family is also brainless. Right now, things are already so high-profile, yet why are they still so incautious? They brought someone to check the corpse, and this clearly shows that they don’t trust us.”
At the same time.
The leader of the unit also received a call. After seeing the video, he anxiously rushed down.
At this moment, Lawyer Li was persuading Old Zhang. “Bro Zhang, we are just going in to take a single look at the corpse. Please let us enter…”
Old Zhang waved his hands. “No, no. I really can’t do so this time around.”
Lawyer Li spoke again, “How about you enter together with us? That will work, right? I guarantee that we only want to see the corpse and won’t touch it. You should be able to trust my personality, right?”
Old Zhang hesitated.
Lawyer Li’s personality was really good. He had never used the Chu Family’s power to act overbearingly and suppress others. During these few years, he had made many friends in Sea City, and Old Zhang could be considered one of them.
Lawyer Li had already stated it like that, so Old Zhang could only sigh. “Two minutes then.”
“Sure, just two minutes.”
Lawyer Li heaved a sigh of relief.
Old Zhang placed his hands into his pocket, and just when he wanted to take out the key, the unit leader hurriedly rushed over. Old Zhang’s sharp eyes caught sight of him, hence, he quickly stood up straight.
The leader walked over and reprimanded, “What are you guys doing?”
“…”
Lawyer Li didn’t expect that he would be so unlucky as to alert the leader. He could only cast a look to Shen Ruojing that signified that they probably wouldn’t be able to do anything today. After that, he smiled and chatted with the leader, “Hi leader, I came to look at the evidence.”
“This isn’t a place where you guys can come casually! Get out quickly! Also, Lawyer Li, let me remind you that your little actions recently have been too much, and this caused huge pressure on me due to public opinion. As a lawyer, you better not break the law. No matter what the incident is, you have to obey the bottom line of the law!…”
Lawyer Li lowered his head from the reprimand and didn’t dare to rebut.
After the leader finished speaking, he frowned and looked at Shen Ruojing. “As for you? Who are you? What is your identity? What are you doing here? Is this a place anyone can stroll in casually? Leave quickly or I’ll get the security guard to chase you away!”
The leader also didn’t want to waste words and directly told her to leave. When he was scolding her, his fingers almost jabbed into her face.
His tone was filled with unhappiness.
Shen Ruojing took two steps back because her face was almost hit by spittles.
She then lowered her eyelids and took out her phone from her pocket. At that moment, she saw Captain Cui’s missed call. Because she had to go to the morgue, she had silenced her phone earlier.
Just when she was planning to give Captain Cui a call, she heard a familiar voice ringing out from a distance all of a sudden. “What’s going on?”
It was Captain Cui.
Shen Ruojing cleanly put her phone down and quietly looked over.
When the leader heard Captain Cui’s voice, he immediately silently remarked on how unlucky he was. Why would the people from the capital see this right now? He quickly coughed and made sure to stay clear of this troublesome matter. “Captain Cui, this has nothing to do with me. I don’t know why Lawyer Li would bring this woman here…Most probably, she’s too young and has never seen a corpse before. This is why she wants to broaden her horizons. But luckily, I discovered and stopped them in time. I’m going to chase her out right now!”
As he spoke, Captain Cui saw the woman he was pointing at. Captain Cui’s expression immediately changed. “Why are you here?”
