Chapter 118: Treat Me to a Dinner (1)
Translator: 549690339
Chen Yan didn’t believe it!
Two accidental deaths, both from the same family.
The time of death was less than half a year apart.
Moreover, there might be tens of millions of dollars involved.
Wealth moved people’s hearts. This was not just a saying.
Even if it was a million, there would be many people who would take the risk, let alone ten million.
However, a case that had already been confirmed could not be investigated just like that.
One of the two accidental deaths happened in the area under the jurisdiction of Detective Unit One, which was Captain Li Hong’s territory.
Li Hong had been brought up by the Liancheng Detective Squad Captain, Qin Chuan.
Needless to say, Yang Miaomiao’s accidental drowning happened in the second investigation team.
Half a month ago, when he was not around, Liu Qingshan was the mastermind.
Therefore, whether or not to investigate and how to investigate, there were explanations.
If Chen Yan rashly proposed to overturn the case, he would not only offend Li Hong, Liu Qingshan, but also Qin Chuan.
Chen Yan definitely could not do such a thing.
At noon.
Bamboo Garden.
” Brothers.” Chen Yan had been rotten recently, especially since he was used to eating the food in the bamboo garden.
It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
He was right.
“The ingredients here are especially good. Try it. This charcoal roasted pine mushroom tastes super good!”
Liu Qingshan and Li Hong looked at each other.
What was going on?
This kid couldn’t be setting up a trap, right?
Bamboo Garden!
Liu Qingshan didn’t know, but Li Hong did.
Last year, he had accompanied Qin Chuan here for a meal.
He knew that the price here was not just ordinary.
The minimum expenditure for one person was 33,000!
A meal for the three of them cost 100,000 yuan!
” Brother Chen.” Li Flong didn’t even dare to move his chopsticks.”Is there something wrong?”
“If you have something to say, just tell me. If it weren’t for your help last time, I might have lost my black gauze hat.”
“There is no need to be so polite between us…”
Liu Qingshan didn’t know how expensive it was to eat here. He looked at Li
Hong strangely and said, “”Captain Li, it’s just a simple meal.”
Liu Qingshan pointed at Chen Yan. “”Chen Yan’s girlfriend is the daughter of a rich family. A meal is nothing to him.”
As he spoke, Old Liu picked up a piece of charcoal roasted matsutake for Li
Hong.”This tastes especially good.”
Chen Yan’s girlfriend often brings lunch to Chen Yan, and we eat a lot too.”
“This grilled mushroom is especially fragrant…”
Li Hong tilted his head and looked at Liu Qingshan in disbelief.
“Old Liu, how many meals have you eaten?”
How many meals?
Chen Yan’s girlfriend often sent him food.” There’s not much. Chen Yan’s girlfriend always sends a lot. He can’t finish it all by himself.”
“I’ve only eaten about ten meals.”
Can’t finish it?
Ten or so?
Li Hong was almost scared.
Then, he gave Liu Qingshan a thumbs up. “”Old Liu, you’re still the best!”
“You ate at least 33,000 yuan per person, and you ate more than ten meals?”
Puff!
Liu Qingshan almost spat out the roasted matsutake that he had just put into his mouth.
“Cough cough!” Taking the tea that Chen Yan handed over, Liu Qingshan gulped down two mouthfuls with difficulty.”01d Li, what did you say?”
33,000? Don’t scare me, okay?
Humph.
“What 33,000?” Li Hong pointed at the dishes on the table.” This is it. You just ate it. One meal, at least 33,000 per person!”
What Li Hong didn’t know was that 33,000 was the lowest level.
The lowest level set meal was not roasted with pine mushrooms, but mushrooms.
Charcoal grilled matsutake was the best individual set meal.
With Shen Yunyi’s love for Chen Yan, how could she give her big baby a set meal that cost 33,000 yuan?
He would definitely choose the best.
Therefore, the standard for this meal was actually 88,000 yuan.
Of course, he couldn’t say 88,000.
Thirty-three thousand yuan almost made Liu Qingshan choke.
If he knew that he was eating 88,000 yuan worth of food every day, he would be scared out of his wits.
Yes, Shen Yunyi knew that some of Chen Yan’s colleagues often freeloaded on food, so she naturally prepared more.
“Master, don’t listen to Captain Li. This private kitchen is owned by Yun Yi.”
Chen Yan picked up more food for Liu Qingshan.” The cost is not high. You can eat without worry!”
Still eating?
Eat my ass.
Liu Qingshan’s legs were trembling.
How much did he earn in a year?
These dozen meals were enough for him to not eat or drink for several years!
” Inspector Li, why are you being so polite with me? It’s just a simple meal.”
“Come, come, try this. It’s my favorite big sea cucumber…”
Chen Yan persuaded Li Hong and Liu Qingshan.
Old Liu smacked his lips as he ate. “”Old Li, how is it? It’s not easy to find me as the vice-captain, right?”
“You can handle cases and you’re rich, haha!”
“It’s not just difficult to find?” Li Hong glanced at Liu Qingshan and swallowed a mouthful of bird’s nest porridge. “”All of our captains have their eyes on your position.”
“The five-year rotation is almost up. The other captains and 1 have served for a long time. According to the rules, we will be rotating this year. When the time comes, hehe…”
“Maybe I’ll go to your place.”
” Haha.” Liu Qingshan laughed.” You guys, stop dreaming.”
“Captain Qin has already told me clearly that if Chen Yan doesn’t leave, I can’t move…”
An hour later, he was full.
“Brothers, how was your meal?”
“Good! It’s especially good!”
“It’s better than the last time I ate with Captain Qin.” Li Hong took out a toothpick to pick his teeth.
Chen Yan nodded and looked at Liu Qingshan.
“Why are you looking at me? I’ve already eaten more than ten meals…”
Liu Qingshan’s heart bled when he thought about this.
That was a few hundred thousand yuan.
The happiness of the rich was unimaginable.
Chen Yan smiled and rubbed his hands. “”Two old brothers, there is a small matter that 1 would like to seek your opinion on…”
After a while.
“That’s it?” Li Hong looked at Chen Yan in surprise.
Err…
” Brother.” Chen Yan knew that this matter was indeed not good. After all, the case had already been closed. If he continued to investigate …
“What 1 mean is that we should work together to review the case from that time.”
“I’ll be your assistant.”
“1 don’t want credit. I just don’t quite believe it.”
“If the two accidental deaths happened separately, there is indeed nothing suspicious.”
” However, if we look at it together, there is still the possibility of a crime of interest.”
“I just have doubts in my heart and don’t understand…! can’t let go of this matter!”
Why did Chen Yan chase after him?
After all, every case was an accidental death.
However, what was the purpose of being a police officer?
Wasn’t it all for the sake of justice?
If there was something suspicious, why didn’t he investigate it?
Then why were they still police officers?
Chen Yan couldn’t get over the hurdle in his heart.
If this matter was not clarified, Chen Yan would think about it every day in the future.
This was why some cases could still be solved even after ten or twenty years.
This was the reason.
The police officers who handled the case thought about it every day and it became a worry.
Another example was that some murderers would run away for 20 or even 30 years after committing the crime.
Why was he still recognized?
Wasn’t it just that the police officer who handled it back then was unwilling to accept it?
Every day, every day.
It had long become an obsession.
Therefore, once this person appeared, no matter how many years had passed or how much his appearance had changed.
He would still be recognized.
Li Hong and Liu Qingshan were both senior detectives and had solved old cases. Of course, they knew what Chen Yan meant and understood his thoughts.
” Brother, that’s not what I meant.” Li Hong waved his hand.”I mean, you’re treating me to a meal worth 33,000 yuan just because of this?”
“You should have said so earlier. A stir-fried shredded potato can solve this problem…”
Liu Qingshan was also surprised.
He really did not know that Chen Yan was here for this matter.
“Chen Yan, you’re too polite.”
If it were anyone else, we definitely wouldn’t agree. But if you think there’s something suspicious, then there’s probably something suspicious. Go ahead and investigate. Old Li and I will fully support you!”
Li Hong nodded.
Liu Qingshan was right.
If it was anyone else, he would not have agreed either.
Oh, it’s an accidental death that has already been determined, and you want to reinvestigate it just like that?
Do you think we’re useless?
However, Chen Yan was different.
Li Hong and Liu Qingshan had witnessed Chen Yan’s ability to solve cases with their own eyes.
If there was really a problem, then they would leave it to Chen Yan to investigate. The two of them would be most at ease!
Don’t forget, they were also policemen.
Finding the truth was also their obsession.
” Haha, then I’ll have to thank my two brothers!”
“Come, let’s drink tea instead of wine. I’ll toast to my two brothers!”
