Chapter 1920: Chapter 1920: Headache
Officer, originally silent, Ling Haining, noticed the officer’s change in expression after seeing Luo Ziling’s credentials. He imdiately shouted, “Officer, comrade, he is a major suspect and should not be allowed to participate in the investigation. He is an expert in drugs, and Haihang died of drug poisoning; he is the most suspicious. The n under him are all highly skilled, even ex-special forces. For them, killing soone is as easy as pie; many have died at their hands.”
At this mont, Ling Haining had completely lost the composure he usually displayed, as well as the deliberate modesty he had shown lately. He seed a bit irrational.
He was convinced that Luo Ziling had killed Ling Haihang.
Because of this belief, he was extrely angry and directly pointed the finger at Luo Ziling.
“Officer, comrade, what do you think? Is it possible for to kill the deceased? Do I need to kill a blood-related relative in my own building?” Luo Ziling calmly asked the sergeant, then sarcastically taunted Ling Haining: “As I said before, your intelligence urgently needs a top-up.”
“Who knows how things are!” Ling Haining sneered coldly, “What everyone thinks is impossible is often the most possible. Do you think making such a poorly arranged setup will make people not suspect you? Do you think you can deceive the officer’s sharp eyes?”
Ling Haihang was the grandson of Ling Mingrui’s brother, Ling Mingqing’s second son, Ling Zhengmin’s only son.
Ling Haiyang was also Ling Mingqing’s grandson, the elder son of Ling Zhengmin.
Luo Ziling and Ling Mingqing had conflicts before; during Ling Jinhua’s ninetieth birthday, he even slapped Ling Mingqing.
It can be said that Luo Ziling and Ling Mingqing, as well as Ling Mingqing’s descendants, have irreconcilable hatred.
Ling Haining believed Luo Ziling brought several descendants of the Ling Family around just to tornt them severely, even to death.
However, he originally thought Luo Ziling wouldn’t dare to harm them so blatantly because they were acting under the directive of Ling Jinhua and Ling Mingrui.
They understood that this arrangent was rely a way for everyone to step back, and the elders intended for them to endure so hardship. The situation was delicate, and Luo Ziling shouldn’t be too ruthless.
Unexpectedly, the situation indeed took him by surprise, and Luo Ziling began to wield the butcher’s knife.
Ling Haining had already settled on a conclusion before finding a reason.
The reasons he found were all to prove his conclusion, not based on facts.
Because of this belief, he repeatedly pointed out in front of the officer that Luo Ziling was the perpetrator.
While accusing Luo Ziling, he kept signaling with his eyes at Ling Haiyang, hoping he would speak up.
But Ling Haiyang stood there blankly with a dazed and disheartened expression, saying nothing.
Ling Haijun was also in a daze. Even if he wasn’t, it was impossible for him to side with Ling Haining.
Previously, the brothers had a good relationship, but since the last ti they were caught by Luo Ziling, their relationship had completely collapsed.
Lately, Ling Haijun and Ling Haining had intense disputes; they even fought several tis.
If nobody stopped them, they would definitely have a massive brawl.
The sergeant, after checking Luo Ziling’s credentials and hearing Ling Haining’s yelling, was a bit hesitant.
By now, other officers had started inspecting the cri scene, and the forensic doctor had also arrived on site.
“Officer, comrade, it’s simple logic: if I were the suspect wanting to kill them, there’s no way I’d kill them here,” Luo Ziling reminded again.
The sergeant didn’t imdiately reply and was still hesitating.
The situation was far more complex than he thought, and he didn’t know what to do.
After thinking for a while, he took out his phone, intending to call his superior for instructions.
Just then, another officer ca over and whispered a few words in his ear.
The sergeant’s expression changed dramatically again.
His colleague inford him of the victim’s identity.
Upon hearing from his colleague that the deceased was a descendant of the prominent Ling Family, the sergeant realized that the complexity of the case was beyond their capacity to handle.
Therefore, he bypassed levels and called the precinct chief, describing the situation briefly.
The precinct chief, who had already gone to bed, was startled awake by the report from his subordinate.
Realizing the complexity of the case, he imdiately reported the case to the city bureau.
After hearing the precinct chief’s report, City Police Chief He Jianmiao understood the severity of the situation and reported to the Deputy Mayor in charge of political and legal affairs. He Jianmiao also didn’t dare go back to sleep, promptly called for a car, and rushed to the cri scene.
When He Jianmiao arrived at the cri scene, several precinct leaders and city bureau criminal investigation experts had already reached there.
During the half-hour it took them to arrive, Luo Ziling used his special identity to explain the victim’s special situations to the forensic doctor handling the body examination.
The forensic doctor imdiately took blood and tissue fluid samples from Ling Haihang and sent them to the criminal identification center for testing.
anwhile, with the help of Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun, the trace experts found many useful clues at the cri scene.
The sergeant in charge on the scene, after consulting his superiors, finally did not trouble Luo Ziling nor Ling Haining, Ling Haijun, and the others. Whether Luo Ziling or other descendants of the Ling Family were not people he, a small police officer, could afford to offend.
Luo Ziling insisted on participating in the inspection and search at the scene, and the sergeant didn’t stop him, just letting it be.
After He Jianmiao and the precinct chief arrived, the sergeant finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly went over to make a report.
It wasn’t the first ti He Jianmiao interacted with Luo Ziling; they had t once or twice before.
He Jianmiao also recognized him and imdiately went over to greet him.
Although He Jianmiao didn’t know Ling Haijun and Ling Haining in person, after learning of their esteed family backgrounds, he dared not neglect them and went forward to shake hands.
Luo Ziling briefed He Jianmiao and the other officers on the situation and his judgnt: “It should be soone who sneaked in and attacked Ling Haihang while he was taking a bath. The intruder must be an expert, as there are no traces of him in the building’s surveillance system.”
He Jianmiao lightly nodded after hearing this, indicating his agreent.
But he imdiately added, “Gentlen, I’m truly sorry, but until the case is clarified, you all remain persons of interest with potential involvent. While we aren’t imposing any compulsory asures, we hope to maintain contact with you at all tis for interviews and inquiries related to the case. We hope all of you will closely cooperate with us to resolve this case as soon as possible.”
He Jianmiao was quite troubled; this case might involve a feud among Yanjing’s elite families.
Their primary concern was to avoid getting entangled in such disputes.
