Chapter 214 – Premeditated Murder I
A cheerful and cute girl like Xiong Ruogang was crying bitterly. She was such a straightforward girl, yet at this moment, she couldn't even utter a complete sentence on the phone. She must be in pain.
Jiang Ruolan ran up to the fifth floor in one go. She pushed through the chaotic crowd and finally saw Xiong Ruogang's figure outside the washroom.
Jiang Ruolan immediately headed towards Xiong Ruogang until she was standing beside her. Then, she slowly crouched down and held her hand. "Ruogang…"
Xiong Ruogang slowly raised her head. Her eyes were so swollen and reddened.
"What exactly is going on? What happened? Who was in the accident? What's the matter with you? Why are you crying like this?" Jiang Ruolan asked a series of questions in a low voice. Her eyes were filled with concern.
"Sis Jiang…" Xiong Ruogang's voice was hoarse as more tears flowed from her eyes. Jiang Ruolan sat next to her and helplessly looked at her. She then pulled Xiong Ruogang's body into her embrace as she sobbed.
Jiang Ruolan could only pat her back lightly as she coaxed her. Right now, she felt like she was useless. There's nothing she could do to help Xiong Ruogang.
"I didn't see it.. I really didn't see that car coming towards us." Xiong Ruogang sobbed and mumbled, "He promised me that he would accompany me to dinner with you tomorrow. He said that it would be Christmas soon and he would give me a surprise on Christmas day."
"We just went to the supermarket and he bought so many snacks for me. He wanted to send me back to my hostel… Why? Why did that car suddenly charge towards us? Why?!"
"The car was clearly far from us. We were clearly walking on the side of the road, so why suddenly drive towards us? He pushed me aside, and when I fell onto the grass, I wanted to scold him for pushing me away. But as I turned around, I saw his body was flying and thrown away. There's so much blood."
Xian Zihao had approached them at one point and stood next to them. Behind him were two security guards. They looked like they had been specially hired by him.
Jiang Ruolan patted Xiong Ruogang's back gently while looking at Xian Zihao, seek help from him.
Xian Zihao gave her a meaningful look and told her to comfort Xiong Ruogang first before turning to the person behind him. "Send someone to take a look at the transportation team."
"President Xian, the victim's body has been cleaned up and can be examined by the medical examiner." At this time, the hospital supervisor came and said respectfully.
Xian Zihao nodded and walked towards the isolation room at the other end of the corridor.
Jiang Ruolan was stunned. She was confused. The accident happened almost an hour ago, so why were the people of the Public Safety Bureau just called the medical examiner to examine the body only when they arrive? Could it be that these people wanted to destroy the corpse before this?
Just as she was thinking, Xiong Ruogang, who was in her embrace, suddenly sat up and wiped her tears away. Her swollen red eyes looked at Jiang Ruolan, asking for help, "Sis Jiang, that car really did rush towards us all of a sudden. I only noticed it late… I can't see what the perpetrator looks like. The windows are tightly sealed and tinted. But the car…It seems like it's a new car because it was without a license plate!"
Xiong Ruogang works in the Business Reporting Department, which allowed her to observe all of this situation with her sharp sense. That's normal, but when she suddenly says this, Jiang Ruolan couldn't help but thinking: 'Could it be that this car accident was not a natural disaster, but … Planned murder?'
Seeing her lifeless eyes still crying non-stop, Jiang Ruolan couldn't help but felt pity for her. No one can accept this news.
Xiong Ruogang had just found her happiness, but her chances were robbed just like that.
Jiang Ruolan also knew, besides pain, there was also an irreplaceable regret in Xiong Ruogang's heart. A feeling where she could never get rid of for the rest of her entire life.
At this moment, even a few words of comfort were not as real as hugging one companion. Jiang Ruolan swore in her heart that she was going to help Xiong Ruogang solved this matter.
"Ruogang, are you trying to say that this car accident was a premeditated murder?" Jiang Ruolan looked at her coldly. Her hand still holding onto Xiong Ruogang tightly.
Xiong Ruogang was crying as she nodded, "I think so!"
"Why do you think so? Ruogang, listen to me, he can't be revived no matter how bitterly you are crying. I know this kind of consolation will never be able to heal your pain, but Ruogang, when something like this happens, besides being sad, you also have to take responsibility! Since you are a witness, you have to tell us everything!"
Xiong Ruogang cried for a moment before raising her hand and wiping away the tears. She took a deep breath and said in a voice that could only be heard by Jiang Ruolan, "When we arrived at the hospital, while the doctor was still in the middle of rescuing him, the traffic team just went to investigate the situation at the scene. After that, they mysteriously sealed off the crime scene, not allowing anyone to approach."
"Later on, someone from the police station came and said that the camera at the crash site had been damaged for half a month and had not been repaired. Since there was no video of the scene, they could not make a decision based on just a few words I said."
"They said that they would do their best to investigate and they would definitely find out who the culprit was, but I can feel that they are just pretending. Sis Jiang, I've been in this job for so long, and with a glance, I really know that the police did not want to investigate at all! How could that camera be broken for half a month? How could there be such a coincidence?!"
The more Xiong Ruogang talked, the angrier she became. Jiang Ruolan quickly trying to calm her down. After looking at her for a while, she asked seriously, "You mean, that car wanted to crash into the two of you in the beginning? It was only because he pushed you away that you were still alive?"
Xiong Ruogang nodded her head vigorously. "That person seemed to want to hit me again, but he hurriedly drove away when he saw me running to the yard to call the police!"
Jiang Ruolan frowned, "Have you two offended anyone recently? Or have you made a mistake recently in your business report?"
Xiong Ruogang was stunned for a moment before recalling something. "Could it be…The pornographic video of that Ling department manager from last time …Could it be him?"
