He Lan stood in front of the office of the board of directors, knocked lightly twice, only heard a low "come in" from inside, Shen Conglan pushed open the door, the window was filled with smoke, Tian Qisheng leaned on the chair with a bitter face, The smoke lingered around him, setting off the clouded look on his face.

"Mr. Shen." Tian Qisheng pointed to the seat in front of him with a fake smile: "Please sit down."

Tian Qisheng is over fifty years old, and like most middle-aged and elderly men, he has bald early, and there are only a few pitiful strands of hair on the top of his head.But he was not willing to give up these tenacious strands, and he parted them towards the left one, three, five, and right, and combed them in the middle on weekends, even allowing him to change into a new hairstyle every day.High-end shirts can't cover his round beer belly, and a pair of shrewd triangular eyes hang on his puffy face, which can be seen as a social veteran at a glance.

Shen Conglan sat on the sofa in front of the table, Tian Qisheng hadn't spoken yet, when Yuan Qiu walked in, sizing him up coldly with an iceberg face.Tian Qisheng was taken aback by Yuan Qiu's scrutiny, and asked in surprise, "This is..."

"The captain of the second team of the Criminal Investigation Brigade, Yuan Qiu."

Yuan Qiu showed his police ID, and Tian Qisheng's expression suddenly became even uglier.Yuan Qiu deliberately ignored him, and sat on a sofa near the door: "You two have something to talk about, I can wait."

Looking at Yuan Qiu's posture, it was obvious that he didn't want to give them a chance to talk alone. Tian Qisheng swallowed silently, ordered He Lan to serve Yuan Qiu tea, and made a cup of tea for Shen Conglan himself: "Mr. As a school administrator, I am really heartbroken that such a big incident happened, and people were killed."

"This student, Lu Huiqi, suffered from depression during her lifetime, and she had just failed a course before she died. She was very depressed. Perhaps she chose to commit suicide because of her—"

"Lv Huiqi didn't commit suicide, it was homicide." Yuan Qiu corrected Tian Qisheng's words coldly.

Tian Qisheng's face turned bitter, Shen Conglan shrugged helplessly, and explained to Tian Qisheng: "Unfortunately, what he said is correct. Judging from the scene, it is true that Lu Huiqi did not commit suicide. This is a case of intentional homicide. The police handle it."

Tian Qisheng walked to the table, took out a cigarette and lit it. His whole body was like a wilted ball. Shen Conglan knew why Tian Qisheng was worried. He leaned lightly on the seat and asked straight to the point: "Is the school going bankrupt?" ?”

Tian Qisheng's hands visibly shook. He exhaled a mouthful of cigarettes and sighed: "The school has experienced negative profit growth for three consecutive quarters. If this matter is exposed by the media and publicized, the university will really be over."

Yuan Qiu was a little surprised, but Shen Conglan was very ordinary. Although the private university in Baichang City enjoys a reputation, it is not as good as the public university directly under the federal government. Qualifications for admission.In recent years, the number of students enrolled in Baichang City has been decreasing year by year, and many excellent teachers have left their posts. In order to maintain the school's huge expenses, the board of directors has long been unable to make ends meet.

Tian Qisheng is Shen Conglan's business competitor. Shen Conglan has been paying attention to the changes in his property. In the past two years, in order to make up for the school's shortfall, he secretly sold other properties of the Tian family. If the school cannot continue to operate, the entire Tian family will be destroyed. will face bankruptcy.

"What do you want me to do?" Shen Conglan was also helpless.

"President Shen, I know you have a good relationship with the police force—" Tian Qisheng glanced at Yuan Qiu cautiously, then turned to face Shen Conglan with an apologetic smile: "I want you to say hello to the police force. Don’t make a fuss, and don’t let the media get involved, if you want to investigate the case, you can do it privately, and don’t pull the cordon at the library anymore, everything is going on in secret.”

Shen Conglan frowned slightly. There was a murder case in the school. This was an extremely vile crime. If Tian Qisheng's request was agreed, it would be like restraining the police's hands and feet. Many investigations could not be carried out, which would affect the speed of solving the case.

Tian Qisheng poured a cup of tea for Shen Conglan again, he changed the topic, and there was a hint in his words: "Since the incident half a year ago, you also know that the law and order in Baichang City has been declining all the way, and students from other cities are unwilling to come to our school to study. The students in this city are also working hard to go out, and the loss of students is heavy. Although you resigned, Baichang City has been devastated because of this..."

Shen Conglan curled up her fingers slightly, her face turned pale.In the online game murder case half a year ago, although the victims were minimized, the culprit was never caught, causing panic among the people.Baichang City is the place where the incident originated. In the past six months, the security here has plummeted, and the economy has also declined sharply.

Shen Conglan was the person in charge of the investigation at that time. Although he had already taken the blame and resigned, many people still blamed him for the current appearance of Baichang City.For such accusations, Shen Conglan was speechless, and Tian Qisheng used his strongest bargaining chip, which was called consultation, but in fact he used his guilt to carry out moral kidnapping.

"...I am no longer a member of the police force." Shen Conglan's lips turned pale, and she replied weakly: "I can't help—"

Tian Qisheng's face darkened, and before he could speak, an extremely cold voice interrupted him: "I can agree to your request."

Yuan Qiu's face was terrifying. Even when facing a criminal, he had never shown such a frosty expression. It was the first time Tian Qisheng felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles. This man's gaze gave him a deep sense of fear, even though he couldn't see it on the surface Come out, but Tian Qisheng can feel that this man is very angry now.

"The police can come forward and ask the media not to report this matter. The police force around the school can also be withdrawn, leaving only a few guards to patrol." Yuan Qiu said coldly: "But you must agree to cooperate with the police investigation, and you cannot use arbitrary excuses to hinder Interrogate. Otherwise, the transaction will be cancelled, and the news of your school will not only appear in Baichang City, but will even spread throughout the entire Federation."

This was already the biggest concession Yuan Qiu made, and Tian Qisheng just wanted to put the matter down at this moment, so he hastily agreed.Yuan Qiu didn't want to stay in this hypocritical school director's office for a moment, so he got up and walked towards the door. After taking two steps, he suddenly turned around and said to Shen Conglan, "Are you still going?"

Shen Conglan was startled for a moment, put the cold tea on Tian Qisheng's tea table, got up and left.Tian Qisheng's expression was a little embarrassed, and he also realized that what he said just now was a bit heavy, and he wanted to make up for something, but when Yuan Qiu stared at him coldly, Tian Qisheng felt cold, and sat back on the chair embarrassingly.After Shen Conglan walked out, Yuan Qiu slammed the door heavily, bang—shattering the tranquility of the corridor.

Shen Conglan has never been so frustrated as today, her past scars were mercilessly uncovered, and it was still in front of Yuan Qiu, for Shen Conglan, it was more sad than death.

"Just now...thanks a lot." Shen Conglan's voice was pale.

Yuan Qiu replied flatly: "Don't get me wrong, what I did has nothing to do with you."

Shen Conglan's expression was stunned for a moment, and Yuan Qiu snorted coldly: "The suspect in this case is most likely committed by someone inside the school. If the investigation is open, it will inevitably cause panic in the school and cause unnecessary confusion."

Shen Conglan didn't know if Yuan Qiu said that intentionally because he was concerned about his emotions, but right now, the case of Baichang Private University is really not suitable for public investigation.

"The media side..."

"I have just ordered Xu Geng to block the news on the Internet, and all the photos and reports about the scene have been withdrawn."

Since Yuan Qiu entered the school, he has handled the work in an orderly manner in less than an hour. Shen Conglan refused to accept it, but he still admired Yuan Qiu's resoluteness in his heart.

After Yuan Qiu returned to the police station, he was called to the office by the chief. Originally, the bureau planned to hold a small welcome banquet for the new captain, but now that there is a murder case, it is really not the time to relax, so keep everything simple. Just help him complete the entry formalities.

Director Song apologetically picked up the big tea mug in front of the table, touched the disposable paper cup in Yuan Qiu's hand, and treated it as a celebration of the new captain's appointment. He told Bureau Song all the details.

Bureau Song was silent for a long time. He sighed slowly amidst the hot tea in his hand: "Oh, it's really embarrassing for Xiao Shen. This child is under too much pressure at such a young age."

Yuan Qiu didn't expect Bureau Song to have such emotion: "If that's the case, why did the bureau let Shen Conglan take all the responsibilities?"

Bureau Song's expression became even more self-blame: "Xiao Shen proposed this on his own initiative, because if he didn't do this, several major survivors in that incident would be silenced. In order to keep those survivors' lives, Shen Conglan He chose to take the blame and resign because of his fate."

Yuan Qiu was shocked, it was the first time he heard the hidden story behind this incident.Bureau Song didn't want to talk about this matter, but told Yuan Qiu that Shen Conglan was threatened by the mastermind behind the scenes. If he didn't stop, the few people who escaped from the game would be silenced one by one. Protect them before leaving the police station.

"This is Xiao Shen's choice. When he resigned, he also took all the blame. The reputation of the Municipal Bureau was preserved, but his reputation..."

Bureau Song took a sip of strong tea, and said in a low and dignified tone, "Baichang City has suffered a massacre, and many people need an outlet to vent their emotions. People are more willing to blame the scapegoat who appears in front of them than the illusory criminal. "

Yuan Qiu didn't speak, but what Song Ju said made him unable to refute. If he was the one who was threatened at the beginning, maybe he would have made the same choice.

After leaving the director's office, Yuan Qiu felt aggrieved for some reason. In his mind, Shen Conglan's pale face in Tian Qisheng's office kept flashing back. He had never seen it before. Young Master Shen" would have such a dejected expression.
