Episode 19: Lin Xi’s design to take responsibility and hide the truth

The bullet casing at the scene was 1.45, a typical American Thompson submachine gun. Only An Chengren’s art master had this kind of gun. Li Ruhe and Li Yunfei admitted that he sent people to kill Ling Hongjun. Li Yunfei said that General Fan had a warrant and the security headquarters had intervened in the investigation and would definitely find An Chengren’s art master. Li Ruhe called Deputy Director He and asked Li Yunfei to investigate the matter.

As the first responsible persons, Zhou Yingqun and Li Yunfei were both taken for investigation. Li Yunfei came out first, and then Zhou Yingqun. Zhou Yingqun had observed the bullet holes at the scene. He had reason to suspect that there were two groups of people at the scene. One of the groups used American Thompson submachine guns, which were standard equipment for art mechanics. If he continued to investigate, he would surely find something.

Li Yunfei advised Zhou Yingqun not to continue the investigation, after all, he was the first person involved. Zhou Yingqun was very angry and almost fell out with Li Yunfei, but Lin Xi intervened and Zhou Yingqun apologized angrily to Li Yunfei. Lin Xi knew what Li Yunfei was like, and it was not his style to take the initiative. After changing places, Li Yunfei told Lin Xi that it was An Chengren who sent a group of people to kill Ling Hongjun.

Li Yunfei planned to investigate another wave of people. He suspected that the other wave was the Communist Party, so that he could avoid the serious matter and ignore the light. Lin Xi lied that the other wave was sent by him, and that the people were hired from the Shengmen Hotel. One life cost three small yellow croakers. Li Yunfei was suspicious, but he believed in the brotherhood between himself and Lin Xi, so he did not investigate for the sake of Lin Xi.

Lin Xi went to He Tianming and Su Nan, told them the information he had, and reminded Su Nan to think of a countermeasure. Zhou Yingqun is a careful person, and he will definitely investigate the wound on Su Nan’s arm to the end. The next day, Zhou Yingqun noticed an injury on Su Nan’s arm, and Su Nan thought of an excuse to hide it from him. Even so, Zhou Yingqun went to her house to see if the window was really broken.

Several people put a sack on Zhou Yingqun’s head and beat him until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. Zhou Yingqun walked to Lin Xi’s office, and Lin Xi took him to Li Yunfei’s home. Li Yunfei and Li Ruhe learned on the phone that the person who beat Zhou Yingqun was sent by Li Ruhe because Zhou Yingqun had been investigating the matter.

Li Yunfei once again persuaded Zhou Yingqun not to care about this matter anymore. Zhou Yingqun heard from his words that this matter seemed to be related to him. Lin Xi on the side admitted that he had sent another wave of people. Who would have thought that bullets don’t have eyesight?

Lin Xi originally He didn’t want to kill Wang Muching either. Zhou Yingqun was furious, angrily accusing the party state of becoming the mess it is now because of bugs like them. Wang Muqing dedicated eleven years to the Kuomintang, but now he died in the hands of his own people. Zhou Yingqun could not get over this hurdle no matter what. When packing up Wang Muqing’s belongings, he had already made up his mind secretly.

He took the money and went to the Shengmen Hotel to ask if Lin Xi in the photo had been here. The other party only took a wad of money and said that Lin Xi had been here and had no other comment.

Lin Xi met He Tianming in a coffee shop and was followed by Zhou Yingqun. After He Tianming finished talking to Lin Xi, he started acting, creating the illusion that Su Nan and Lin Xi were having an extramarital affair, and He Tianming was furious. Zhou Yingqun quickly came over to break up the fight, and Li Yunfei, who received the call, also rushed over. He Tianming was taken to the police station to take notes, and Li Yunfei went to the police station to say hello to prevent Su Nan from resenting Lin Xi because of this incident.
