Chapter 73 Stowaway (1)
Kang Ruxin got in touch with the local police because the next person they were going to visit was Song Zhenzhen's boss.

Meeting Song Zhenzhen did not require the cooperation of the local police, as her current status would not generate that awareness.But her boss is different. This boss is very likely to question Shen Yue and Kang Ruxin's intentions and refuse their visit.

After the local police contacted Song Zhenzhen's boss, the other party agreed to let Shen Yue and Kang Ruxin meet in her office.Song Zhenzhen's boss, surnamed Zhong and named Lingjiao, is less than 40 years old and a native of Macau.Zhuhai is adjacent to Macau, and for an investor like her, traveling between the two places is like living in the same city, but her company is a real joint venture.

Zhong Lingjiao was very puzzled after receiving the call from the police. She didn't understand why a policeman and a doctor of psychology from a place so far away from Zhuhai would come to visit her.However, she could not refuse the police's request. Law-abiding is fundamental to investing in the mainland, and she is well aware of the importance of this.

What Zhong Lingjiao didn't expect was that Shen Yue asked about Song Zhenzhen after the first meeting: "We want to know, why did you recruit Song Zhenzhen in a targeted manner?"

Zhong Lingjiao asked in surprise: "What's wrong with Song Zhenzhen? What case is she involved in?"

Shen Yue smiled slightly, and asked back: "Why does Ms. Zhong think that she is involved in a certain case?"

Zhong Lingjiao didn't like to be questioned like this, so his face suddenly became ugly, and he said, "Otherwise, why did you ask me about her?"

A businessman like Zhong Lingjiao often shows a kind of arrogance in front of ordinary mainlanders. Shen Yue felt this when he met her.This sense of superiority that comes from the depths of the heart is, in the final analysis, created by the gap between the poor and the rich.Therefore, Shen Yue could only use rhetorical questions, which was a kind of psychological check and balance.

Shen Yue shrugged and said: "Song Zhenzhen is not involved in any case, but we hope to investigate some things clearly. From what we have learned so far, when you recruited at Song Zhenzhen's school, the real The purpose is to get her to work in your company. Is that so?"

Zhong Lingjiao frowned and said, "It doesn't seem like we violated the laws of the Mainland by doing this?"

Shen Yue smiled and said: "Of course. But you have already agreed with my inference just now. Can I understand it this way?"

Zhong Lingjiao replied: "Song Zhenzhen performed very well during college, and it is normal for us to recruit her in a targeted manner. Moreover, she has shown good abilities after joining the company."

Shen Yue waved at her and said, "Ms. Zhong, I'm not interested in Song Zhenzhen's ability to work. What I'm interested in is that there are so many colleges and universities in Guangdong Province, and there are tens of thousands of fresh graduates every year. If you tell me that you have already noticed Song Zhenzhen's excellence, I'm afraid even you won't believe it. So now, what I want to know is, what was the purpose of recruiting her in the first place?"

Zhong Lingjiao's expression changed suddenly, and he said, "Can I not answer your question?"

Shen Yue shook his head and said: "You have to answer, because the case we are investigating is probably related to this matter. Ms. Zhong, you are from Macau and will not have a direct relationship with Song Zhenzhen, so there is only one situation: At that time, someone greeted you and asked you to go to the school where Song Zhenzhen was and recruit her to your company, then train her and take care of her. Is that right?"

Zhong Lingjiao looked very surprised, and replied: "That's right. I can tell you the real situation. At that time, my father greeted me, saying that I was entrusted by someone, and hoped that I could recruit Song Zhenzhen to work in the company. Later, I found that Song Zhenzhen was very capable, so I made her the director of the company's HR department."

Her father's greeting?From the perspective of age, her father shouldn't be the prodigal son. Could it be that he was really entrusted by others?Shen Yue thought in his heart, and continued to ask: "Did your father tell you who entrusted him with this matter?"

Zhong Lingjiao shook his head: "It's not a big deal. My father assigned me to do it, so I'll just do it. My company has nearly a thousand employees, and such a thing is too small. To be honest, if you didn't mention it just now, I would I almost forgot about that incident.”

This is still a sense of superiority from the bottom of my heart.Shen Yue sighed in his heart, he looked at Zhong Lingjiao, and said sincerely: "Ms. Zhong's filial piety is admirable, and Song Zhenzhen is lucky to meet a boss like you. Ms. Zhong, let me tell you the truth, from now on According to some circumstances, your father's friend may be Song Zhenzhen's biological father, and we must find him as soon as possible."

Zhong Lingjiao asked in surprise: "Song Zhenzhen's biological father? What's going on?"

At this time, Kang Ruxin said, "In Song Zhenzhen's personnel file, her father's name is Lu Wenhua, but Lu Wenhua is actually her stepfather. A few days ago, Lu Wenhua was murdered. I can only tell you so much."

Zhong Lingjiao's complexion suddenly became serious.She was a smart person, and at this moment she roughly understood what these two people came for.As the legal person of this company, she didn't want to get involved in such a vicious case.Moreover, her father also has a certain status in Macau. Now that Macau has returned to the motherland, once her father is also involved in this case, his reputation will definitely be greatly affected.This is no longer a small thing.She immediately made a decision and said, "I'll call my father right away."

Shen Yue smiled at her and said, "Thank you. Do we need to avoid it for a while?"

When they first met, Zhong Lingjiao was disgusted by Shen Yue's aggressiveness, but at this moment, she suddenly found that this arrogant guy in front of her actually knew how to take care of other people's emotions, and she couldn't help but feel good about him.She smiled brightly at Shen Yue, shook her head and said, "No, I'll just call him in front of you."

Shen Yue also had a sudden fondness for her: As a businessman investing in the mainland, he must try not to get himself involved in any troubles, this is the best choice for a smart person.

Zhong Lingjiao spoke Mandarin.Shen Yue felt that she should not often use such language when talking with her father, because neither her language nor the faint voice coming from the phone gave people a particularly smooth feeling.Obviously, she did this on purpose.

She briefly asked a few words, then covered the receiver of the phone, and said to Shen Yue: "My father wants to ask about your specific situation."

Shen Yue nodded, walked over, and took the phone from Zhong Lingjiao.Zhong Lingjiao reminded him: "My father can't speak Mandarin. Can you speak Cantonese?"

Shen Yue shook his head and asked, "What about English?"

Zhong Lingjiao smiled and replied, "Portuguese is the best."

At this time, not only Kang Ruxin, but even Shen Yue became disgusted with her, and the good impression he had just had for her disappeared in an instant.It is not surprising that a person born in Macau has a sense of colonialism, but it is disgusting for a person to think of colonialism as a sense of superiority.Shen Yue tried his best to restrain his emotions, and said into the phone in Mandarin: "Hi, I'm Shen Yue, and now I'm asking you about your friend's situation on behalf of the police."

An old voice came from the phone, he was muttering something, Shen Yue couldn't understand a word.It should be Portuguese because neither Cantonese nor Hokkien is pronounced like that.At this moment, Shen Yue felt deeply helpless: now he is investigating the case of Lu Wenhua's murder, and it doesn't make any sense to dwell on the so-called colonial consciousness.He had no choice but to repeat the sentence just now in English.

Zhong Lingjiao looked at Shen Yue in surprise, she never expected that this ordinary-looking person in front of her could speak fluent and idiomatic American English.Kang Ruxin noticed her surprised expression, and was secretly complacent and proud.

The old voice on the phone changed to English: "When did the mainland police come to Macau?"

Shen Yue was even more disgusted in his heart, and continued to speak in English: "Well, let's contact the Macau police first, and then visit the door. Is this okay?"

The other party hung up the phone.Shen Yue immediately regretted it: Why am I angry with him?Well now, it seems that we really need to contact the Macau police.

During the phone call just now, Zhong Lingjiao had been listening to Shen Yue, so of course she could understand English.At this time, seeing Shen Yue and Kang Ruxin's faces were ugly, and the attitude of the local police who accompanied them was no longer friendly, she couldn't help but secretly worry in her heart: What if that friend of her father's had something to do with that murder case? , Maybe it will affect the business of my company.She hurriedly said: "I think so, I will talk to my father again, and then I will contact you."

Shen Yue scolded herself secretly: How did you forget this?What people in business fear most is getting involved in vicious cases.He smiled slightly at Zhong Lingjiao, then wrote her his contact information, and said warmly: "Thank you. Please call this number anytime when you have news."

After coming out of this company, Shen Yue glanced at the city called "Macau" on the other side of the bay, thinking with a wry smile: It is right in front of me, but it seems so far away.

She waited until the evening and did not receive a call from Zhong Lingjiao. Shen Yue knew that the communication between Zhong Lingjiao and her father must have failed.In fact, Shen Yue should have thought of such a result a long time ago. The communication between father and daughter does not need much time at all, but Shen Yue has always had illusions.

Kang Ruxin asked: "Should I call Zhong Lingjiao and ask about the situation?"

Shen Yue knew that it was very possible to get a disappointing result, but he still nodded: "Just ask."

On the other end of the phone, Zhong Lingjiao said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, I couldn't convince my father. My father is a very loyal person. He doesn't want to tell the situation of that person, and I can't help it."

Kang Ruxin told Shen Yue what Zhong Lingjiao said, and Shen Yue shrugged his shoulders, disapprovingly said: "For a businessman, the so-called loyalty is just a hypocritical statement to the outside world. He should know the strength of the police and know our I will go to Macau to look for him, and if I say it at that time, it will not affect his image in the eyes of others."

Kang Ruxin worried: "If Song Zhenzhen's biological father is really the murderer, will he run away?"

Shen Yue pondered and said: "It depends on whether Zhong Lingjiao's father is a really loyal person. There is another situation, that is, Song Zhenzhen's biological father is not the murderer, so there is no need for him to run away .Like I said, I never like to doubt anyone casually."

Kang Ruxin was very puzzled: "From what you said, it seems that you don't think that Song Zhenzhen's biological father is the murderer, so why are we spending so much effort to find him?"

Shen Yue replied: "According to Song Zhenzhen, she didn't tell anyone what Lu Wenhua did to her. I didn't find that she was lying. And the most important thing is that she and her biological father have never met before." , so, it is unlikely that this person is the murderer. But I think we should help Song Zhenzhen, maybe only true fatherly love can make her come out of the shadow of the past. This is my responsibility as a psychologist .Ru Xin, you will come with me to help her, won't you?"

Kang Ruxin likes Shen Yue's persistent quality.At the beginning, it was Shen Yue's pride and lack of modesty that stimulated her nerves. Later, she realized that it was not only pride, but also self-confidence, and it was because of self-confidence that he was able to stick to his own way. Go find the truth and never look back.

In today's impetuous society, there are fewer and fewer people like this.It is precisely because of the small number that he shows his maverick, and because of this, he shows his excellence.At this time, Shen Yue's gloomy eyes and sincere and gentle tone made Kang Ruxin deeply fascinated.She said softly: "Of course, of course I am willing to go with you to help her."

If an ordinary person like Shen Yue who does not have a police status wants to go to Hong Kong and Macau, he must first apply for a Hong Kong and Macau travel permit locally.After Kang Ruxin reported the situation to Long Huamin, Long Huamin immediately let the two arrive in Macau smoothly through the police's internal channels, and the Zhuhai police also arranged for a police officer to accompany them.

Although Macao and Hong Kong are special administrative regions, they have a very close relationship with the mainland. Most of the water, electricity, gas, and vegetables necessary for urban life are provided by the mainland at low cost.Macau and Zhuhai are close to each other, and the cooperation between the police of the two places is also very close. It is the best choice for the Zhuhai police to take charge of the coordination.

Zhong Lingjiao's father is the owner of a casino in Macau.In Macau, casinos are legal. In the eyes of local citizens, casino owners are similar to businessmen, and they are completely different concepts from "pornography, gambling and drugs" in the Mainland.After the Macau police came forward, Zhong Lingjiao's father promised to meet with Shen Yue and the others immediately.

On the way to Zhong Lingjiao’s father’s villa, the policeman in Zhuhai specially reminded Shen Yue and Kang Ruxin: “The situation in Macau is different from that in the mainland. You must pay attention to the way you speak during the investigation of the case. Any guesses without evidence It could lead to legal disputes."

Shen Yue said indifferently: "I have worked in the Wilson Institute of Psychology in the United States for many years, and I have dealt with the police for a long time. I know how to measure."

Kang Ruxin couldn't help laughing, she just liked seeing Shen Yue's confident and disapproving look.

The villa of Zhong Lingjiao's family is not big, but it should be very valuable in this place where every inch of land is precious.After entering, Shen Yue found that the decoration style of this place was similar to that of Kan Sitong's villa, the difference was that there was a God of Wealth enshrined in a prominent place in the living room.In fact, Shen Yue often saw houses with this decoration style in Chinatown in the United States, which is a very representative Chinese style.

The inheritance of culture is like the genes of human beings, and it is also an imprint that cannot be erased by a nation.At this time, Shen Yue had a slight liking for this Boss Zhong who was about to meet.

Zhong Lingjiao's father came out. He was about 60 years old with white beard and hair.The man from the Macau police was chatting with him. It sounded like Cantonese, but Shen Yue still couldn't understand.The old man looked at Shen Yue, guessing that the people from the Macau police were introducing the identities of these people who were traveling with him to him just now.

The old man called everyone to sit down, and a servant with a dark complexion put a pot of tea and several teacups on the coffee table.The old man looked at Shen Yue and said in English, "We're on the phone."

Shen Yue nodded.But the old man was apologizing to him: "Mr. Shen, I'm sorry. The person who asked me for help at the time specifically said, don't let Song Zhenzhen know that someone is helping her, I promised him. So, yesterday I can't tell you that I can't tell my daughter who it is."

His apology surprised Shen Yue, and Shen Yue couldn't help thinking in his heart: Did I think wrong?Shen Yue asked: "Actually, you know the relationship between this person and Song Zhenzhen, right?"

He smiled slightly and said, "That's why I hope you can come to Macau in person."

Shen Yue suddenly realized, and asked, "Is this person in Macau?"

He nodded: "At that time I agreed to him and persuaded him, but he still refused to see Song Zhenzhen. I went to him again yesterday, but he still refused. But I can assure you that this person and that person This murder case has nothing to do with him because he never left Macau in these years."

Kang Ruxin couldn't help but said: "He didn't leave Macau, but that doesn't mean he has nothing to do with this case. What if he sent someone else to do it?"
