Chapter 668: Returning in Defeat
In the following week, Sun Jun, accompanied by Gao Xiang, walked through every corner of Penghu County.The entire investigation process went incredibly smoothly.
Sun Jun felt no resistance; it seemed as though everyone who knew Li Pengcheng had no issues.
As for Sun Jun’s investigation into Li Pengcheng, there was practically only one response: not clear.
Especially concerning his work.
Even Li Pengcheng’s wife said she wasn’t clear about it.
A wife who doesn’t know what her husband does?
Isn’t that ridiculous?
As for Penghu Mansion, where Li Pengcheng once worked.
The records related to his work are all complete.
However, they were merely documents of his routine security work.
Such as attendance sheets, wage signature sheets, employment contracts, and so on.
But everything ended on the day Li Pengcheng jumped off the building.
According to the building’s staff, Li Pengcheng was just working there regularly.
And after Li Pengcheng’s incident, naturally, he no longer worked at the mansion.
The security captain at the mansion understood the situation, confirmed the fall, and then deleted his work card details.
As for how Li Pengcheng behaved at the mansion.
Whom he was familiar with.
Most people just said they weren’t clear.
Up to now, it seems that Li Pengcheng’s jump or fall was simply an accidental fall from the building.
He is now a vegetative state, unable to say or do anything.
His wife and parents are not pursuing the matter.
Nor are they saddened.
In fact, his wife just bought a brand new BMW 3 Series three days ago.
His father, a day ago, spent 200,000 to find a wife for Li Pengcheng’s brother.
The entire Li Family, except for Li Pengcheng lying in bed as a vegetative state, seems to be doing increasingly well.
Sun Jun, who found no valuable clues, bid farewell to Gao Xiang and left Penghu County.
Knowing there was a problem, but what could he do without evidence?
Qin Yong’s office at Haizhou City’s Criminal Investigation Team.
Sun Jun was reporting on the investigation of the last ten or so days.
"The investigation into Li Pengcheng’s personal situation was both very smooth and very unsmooth."
"What do you mean smooth? Yet very unsmooth?"
"What’s smooth is that we were able to find everyone who knew Li Pengcheng, and those related to him were very cooperative."
"But none of these people provided any valuable clues or information."
"Their responses were vague and perfunctory, saying they were not very familiar or weren’t clear about his affairs."
"And coupled with that call I made to you about Gao Xiang being suddenly transferred away and then returning."
"I feel that Li Pengcheng’s matter is certainly significant."
"There’s definitely something big behind this that led to Li Pengcheng’s jump."
"And it’s quite clear that Li Pengcheng’s parents and wife were probably bribed."
Sun Jun reported on the purchase of the car and the marriage for Li Pengcheng’s brother.
"However, I checked bank transaction records and found no transfer information."
"They probably used cash, but who it is, has not been found yet."
Sun Jun also recognized from the bribery incident with Chen Sikun that the mastermind wouldn’t act directly and must have used some other means for the transaction.
Even though this case isn’t large, it’s the most frustrating and annoying case Sun Jun has ever handled.
He suddenly missed Lu Chuan.
It seemed that since Lu Chuan came, the Criminal Investigation Team solved any case smoothly.
At the very least, there were leads to pursue.
But the Li Pengcheng case made Sun Jun feel like there were clues everywhere yet there were none.
After listening to the report, Qin Yong pondered for a while.
To be honest, this case isn’t significant.
An accidental or deliberate fall—the person didn’t die; although vegetative, for the Criminal Investigation Team, it’s not a major case.
If it weren’t for the Penghu County Public Security Bureau’s call for help, Haizhou City’s Criminal Investigation Team wouldn’t even pay attention to such a case.
After Sun Jun spent ten days investigating, no valuable clues were found.
This suggests two points.
Either the case itself has no suspicious points.
It’s just a very ordinary fall.
Or there’s a powerful underworld hand manipulating everything behind Li Pengcheng’s fall.
This hand holds Penghu County firmly in its grip.
Even after Sun Jun stayed there for 10 days, there were still no leads.
From Sun Jun’s judgment, it’s clear he’s inclined towards the second possibility.
But at present, there’s no better way.
The Criminal Investigation Team has other cases happening these days as well.
Sun Jun has other matters to attend to; he can’t stay in Penghu County for long.
"Let’s set that case aside for now; there’s a new case in the team these days; you should look into it."
Sun Jun could only shake his head helplessly.
It didn’t matter much; after all, Li Pengcheng isn’t dead. Even if there’s something behind the case, at most it’s a serious injury causing disability.
"Alright, I’ll get busy with our case first."
"By the way, how are Lu Chuan and Zhang Hui recovering? When can they return?"
"The team visited them a few days ago; they’re recovering well. They should be able to return next week."
Lu Chuan’s injuries weren’t very severe; after almost a month of recuperation, he’s almost recovered.
Zhang Hui is in a similar state; his wounds have mostly healed.
But they still need to be cautious and avoid intense activities.
However, both should be fit to return to work by next week.
Qin Yong let out a long sigh of relief.
While they were around, it didn’t seem like much.
But in their absence, many things felt harder to manage.
Especially in solving cases; without Lu Chuan, there’s always a sense of insecurity.
At this moment.
Just as Sun Jun and others were working overtime and staying up late.
Zhang Hui was feasting in Lu Chuan’s hospital room.
Lately, the guy got tired of eating tuna.
Lu Chuan’s mom heard somewhere that eating more tuna would help wound recovery.
The result was Lu Chuan and Zhang Hui eating tuna three times a day.
"Chuan, can we not have tuna tomorrow?"
Zhang Hui felt like he was turning into a tuna.
Sashimi tastes unique, but it’s fine for one or two meals.
Over time, it’s unbearable.
Lu Chuan waved his hand.
"What I say doesn’t matter."
"There’s still three pieces left; hurry up and finish them."
"We have an afternoon snack of snow crab legs."
Upon hearing snow crab legs, Zhang Hui got excited.
They’re his favorite.
The fellow, after staying in the hospital for over half a month, had gained 6 kilograms!
