Chapter 132: Premeditated Murder
The second time was reporting a group fight, making them so exhausted they didn’t sleep for a week, just to give those delinquent youths some ideological education.
The third time was the kidnapping case, where she surprisingly managed to subdue three strong and sturdy men when she was caught and put into the car, and even rescued a child.
Those kidnappers had one who was beaten to death, and it was finally confirmed that the killer wasn’t Jiang Ning; she only fired two shots, both in self-defense. In this situation, the police couldn’t detain Jiang Ning, and most importantly, she was still a minor!
They only arrested those two kidnappers and let Jiang Ning go home.
Then there was this time.
If it weren’t for Jiang Ning locating the patient’s position in time, and before the police arrived.
If the police came over, they also thought it was impossible for there to be someone as quick-witted and brave as Jiang Ning. Officer Dong liked Jiang Ning more and more, sighing again that she was a good prospect.
He spoke up: “We’re here this time because of the incident on Phoenix Mountain. You are the family of the involved party, so we need to tell you that we suspect this was a premeditated murder!”
After Officer Dong spoke, Father Jiang’s facial expression changed first: “What?! Murder!”
Madam Jiang’s facial expression also changed drastically. She looked at Jiang Yan, then at Father Jiang, and hurriedly asked: “He’s just a child, what enemies could he have provoked? Is it our business rivals?”
Officer Dong quickly reassured Madam Jiang: “Madam Jiang, don’t worry first. This is just our police’s preliminary judgment. This morning, our police went back to that reverse route again, and combined with the surveillance footage from that night. Because the weather forecast had announced in advance that there would be heavy rain, Phoenix Mountain closed the scenic area entrance that night, not allowing tourists to go night climbing. Around ten o’clock, a man and a woman appeared and entered the reverse route.”
“There’s only this one surveillance footage, because that route is sparsely populated and surveillance hasn’t been installed there yet. After investigation, this man and woman are both students from Ninth Middle School, one named Su Wanyuan and one named Gu Lanli. Half an hour ago, they checked out from this hospital.”
“Gu Lanli?” Father Jiang was somewhat surprised: “He was there too?”
He then angrily said: “I knew nothing good would come from our Jiang Family getting involved with anyone surnamed Gu. He’s a jinx.”
After Father Jiang finished cursing, he suddenly paused, then carefully glanced at Jiang Ning. Seeing no reaction from her, he cleared his throat lightly: “Officer Dong, can you tell us everything you’ve learned?”
Officer Dong nodded: “At half past eleven, your son appeared to rescue the two of them. In the last surveillance footage, only Su is seen taking Gu down the mountain for treatment, while your son was still on the mountain at that time.”
“We searched the surroundings and found a piece of cold-weather clothing that was deliberately discarded. But due to the heavy rain last night, no fingerprints could be extracted from it. However, based on the shape and size, we can confirm it’s a women’s down vest. The scenic area’s emergency rescue cable car can carry five people at a time, but Su and Gu went down the mountain, leaving your son alone on the mountain. We preliminarily determine that Su and Gu acted together, just to let your son die of hypothermia on the mountain, which would be classified as a natural accidental death, and generally, no criminal responsibility would be pursued.”
Officer Dong finished in one go, and Father Jiang’s face darkened repeatedly.
He was a businessman; how could his mind not turn that way.
“You’re saying that girl did it on purpose? But my Xiao Yan just awoke and insisted that this girl surnamed Su saved him. No matter what we said, he wouldn’t listen and kept treating this girl as his benefactor. Turns out she’s the one who wanted his life!” Father Jiang was furious, hands on hips, pacing around anxiously in place: “Why? I know a bit about this girl; she’s a poor student sponsored by the Gu Family. My Xiao Yan is usually quiet and doesn’t actively cause trouble. He kindly went to save her, and it turns out this was a setup?”
Officer Dong sighed: “Mr. Jiang, please don’t get agitated first. This is speculation; we’ll continue questioning them later. By the way, Student Jiang Ning, how did you know your younger brother was in danger?”
Jiang Ning was originally lost in thought when she was suddenly prompted. She said perfunctorily: “He called me, said he was on Phoenix Mountain, and less than a minute later, the call cut off. I guessed he must have met with an accident, didn’t dare delay, and went straight there.”
Officer Dong said approvingly: “Our police station is short of good prospects like you, Student Jiang Ning. For Gaokao, do you have any intention to apply to the police academy? You could definitely shine in this field.”
Father Jiang: “…”
Madam Jiang: “…”
Jiang Ning: “…”
Huh?!
Is this the time to discuss Gaokao choices?
Father Jiang couldn’t help but speak up: “My Ning Ning studying finance in the future would be great, to inherit Dad’s company. Of course, if the child wants to become a police officer, I won’t stop her; it’s all up to her own interests.”
Hearing the word “police,” Jiang Ning’s heart stirred.
She actually didn’t want to work at some big company, didn’t want to lose hair every day rushing proposals, get sabotaged, or be targeted. In the original world, after that second generation rich kid died, his family traced it back to her. Even with evidence proving she didn’t harm the second generation rich kid, she was still resented.
Later, she couldn’t even get school scholarships, and no one dared hire her for part-time jobs outside.
After graduation, she sent out several resumes, but got no responses.
Later, she finally found a company willing to hire her.
Only after going in did she realize it was a company under the dead second generation rich kid’s family, with the CEO being the second generation rich kid’s brother. Jiang Ning worked there for two months.
After being sabotaged again, she cursed the boss as a deadpan face and quit dashingly.
Right after leaving the company, she encountered a car accident.
Jiang Ning even suspected it was the second generation rich kid’s family who bribed the driver just to send her on her way.
Perhaps she shouldn’t have studied finance, which was easy to find employment and earn money, from the beginning, but instead become a police officer who punishes evil and upholds justice.
Everyone turned their gazes to Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning finally said: “I really like the police profession. If there’s a chance in the future… I hope to work together with you.”
Officer Dong nodded happily: “Work hard, our police station will always welcome you.”
“Then we’ll head out first. If there are updates later, we’ll notify you to come to the police station. We’ll get to the bottom of this.”
Father Jiang shook hands with Officer Dong and saw him out: “Thanks for the trouble. Once this is over, I’ll set a table at Jinyu Restaurant and treat you all to a meal.”
Officer Dong waved his hand: “No need, we’re heading out first.”
Jiang Ning looked at Jiang Yan’s face and fell into deep thought.
If Su Wanyuan had awakened to the plot, then she and Jiang Yan could be considered friends, so what motive would she have to harm Jiang Yan? She should only help him avoid this accident.
But she did do it, so was she controlled by the world consciousness and made an unwitting mistake?
Jiang Ning stood up and said to Jiang Li: “Call me when Jiang Yan is fully awake. I need to go find someone; there are some things I must clarify.”
