Chapter 252 The Li Brothers and Sisters
Today, Ye Lan came to Mo Ling's house to discuss work. After getting off the car, she entered the working state. She talked to the housekeeper who greeted her in a kind and dignified manner. The housekeeper notified Mo Ling while welcoming the guests.
Mo Ling was very happy to see Cui Jian. Ye Lan asked, and Mo Ling joked, "I'm already very happy to see Cui Jian at home." Subtext 1: I didn't meet Cui Jian at the police station. Subtext 2: I almost met my future son-in-law Cui Jian at home.
Cui Jian agreed with Xiaoxiao. Although he couldn't blame himself, he did cause a lot of trouble for others. The three of them did not sit in the living room, but went to the study on the second floor of the villa.
Mo Ling opened his mouth with big news: "Li Liang was assassinated yesterday morning and was out of danger this morning. Our family is facing a very bad situation. We don't know if the criminals' target is limited to Li Liang, but we know that there is a traitor among the 12 bodyguards hired by Li Liang. I have now asked a friend of the Lin family to borrow bodyguards to protect Li Liang."
Mo Ling: "Before the matter is fully investigated, I hope that the bodyguards of Dayin Security Company A will be responsible for the safety of my two children."
Ye Lan was the boss, and the others were not around, so Cui Jian had no choice but to discuss the business with Mo Ling and asked, "Are you sure there is a traitor in the bodyguard team?"
Mo Ling nodded: "Only the bodyguard team knew Li Liang's temporary residence that night. He was attacked inside the residence."
Because of business, Li Liang spends most of his time in Seoul and often travels to Hancheng. As Lijia Village is relatively remote, Li Liang bought a small villa in Hancheng, which only covers an area of 150 square meters. At 8:30 yesterday morning, Li Liang came down from the second floor, walked through the living room, opened the door and prepared to go out, and a crossbow arrow flew in and shot into his body.
The crossbow arrows made no sound, and the bodyguards did not immediately discover the crossbowman's location. It was suspected that the crossbowman was hiding in the neighbor's house across the street, and attacked Li Liang 8 meters away through a -meter-high wall.
Speculation: The murderer knew in advance that Li Liang would live in this villa, so he climbed over the wall into the neighbor's house and hid there. The 1.7-meter-high wall protects privacy but not climbing. Li Liang originally booked a hotel, but decided to stay in the villa on the way to the hotel in the early morning yesterday. Therefore, he concluded that there was a traitor among the bodyguards.
"Crossbow?" Cui Jian asked.
Mo Ling nodded: "How is it?"
Cui Jian did not answer immediately. The crossbow was not a controlled weapon and many people could use it normally. This thing has an advantage. It takes much less time to train than a bow or a gun. Ordinary people can get started after playing with it for a day or two. It is not very difficult to hit a target 8 meters away, even without an auxiliary aiming system.
Cui Jian was not willing to deal with the crossbow. This thing does not use metal materials, can be disassembled, and is very concealed. Cui Jian continued to look at the tablet given by Mo Ling. It was a photo of Li Liang being injured and sent to the hospital. Cui Jian asked, "How long is the crossbow arrow?"
Mo Ling scratched the flat board and found a bloody crossbow arrow. There was a ruler next to it, and the length was 15 cm. She was very calm, and she remained calm even when she saw the murder weapon that hurt her son.
Cui Jian said: "It was a small crossbow. The length and width of the crossbow were less than 30 centimeters, so it should be about 20-25 centimeters. I guess the murderer was not lying in ambush at the neighbor's house, but was a passerby. You said it was :? It was rush hour, were there many people on the road?"
Mo Ling nodded: "There are four office buildings related to finance, futures, securities, banks, etc. nearby. It takes less than 15 minutes to walk from the villa community to the office buildings."
Cui Jian said: "In my personal opinion, judging from the assassination with a crossbow, the opponent should be an expert, but judging from the result, his skill level is not very high."
Cui Jian looked up at Mo Ling: "The killer uses a pistol, and he can fire at least five shots before the bodyguard can react. The distance between him and Li Liang is only three or four meters, Li Liang will definitely die."
Cui Jian always felt that the killer's behavior was strange and asked, "Is Li Liang seriously injured?" The small hand crossbow has limited penetrating power, and the crossbow arrowhead is a flat diamond shape. Compared with triangular, barbed and other arrowheads, it causes very little damage to the injured.
Mo Ling: "He was shot in the thigh, but then fell into a coma."
Cui Jian asked: "Is there poison or anesthetic on the crossbow arrows?"
Mo Ling: "I don't know. After he was given anesthesia and his wounds were treated at the hospital, he woke up normally."
Cui Jian said: "Lawyer Mo has helped our company so much, and he has also helped me a lot. We must take this project. However, I am the only one in the bodyguard A department at the moment. The others will return to Hancheng tonight and will not be able to start work until tomorrow."
Mo Ling said, "Sure. Li Liang has a trustworthy bodyguard guarding the ward for now. You will be responsible for Li Qin's safety first."
Cui Jian said: "Mr. Mo, you know..."
Mo Ling interrupted and asked, "Cui Jian, I have always believed that you are a person who clearly distinguishes between public and private matters."
Cui Jian was stunned: "Do I have such qualities?" What happened recently? Is he really that good?
Mo Ling: "Well, I have always thought so. I think you are very principled."
Cui Jian said, "Mr. Mo, I will do my best to protect Li Qin. Excuse me, is there any banquet that Li Qin must attend today? Or something like that." Li Qin could stay at home all day. Lijia Village has good security. The murderer killed Li Di's mother by tricking her out of Lijia Village first. Therefore, it can be inferred that Li Qin must go out today.
Mo Ling nodded: "At five o'clock in the afternoon, Li Qin will attend a wedding at the North Suburban Church."
Cui Jian asked: "Is it important?"
Mo Ling nodded again: "The bride is her best friend Zheng Wen. Zheng Wen heard that Li Liang was injured and was worried about Li Qin, so she strongly requested to postpone the wedding. The groom asked Li Qin for help, and Li Qin said that she would definitely attend the wedding on time."
Cui Jian: "Lawyer Mo, I believe you said there is a traitor in the bodyguard team. I also believe you can find a trustworthy bodyguard, so why choose us?"
Mo Ling replied: "The first reason is that it is not convenient to bring too many bodyguards to a wedding. You can attend as Li Qin's companion without appearing out of place, and you can also protect her closely. The second reason is that Cui Jian, you are now the best bodyguard in Hancheng and the only two-star bodyguard. If we only choose one bodyguard, we will definitely choose you. The third reason is that we don't know which faction the killer belongs to."
Mo Ling: "The Lin family has been silent recently, and a big reason is the Fire God. One month after Li Di's death, Li Liang was attacked, which made people suspect that there was something wrong in the Li family. With the Lin family's previous experience, if you want to say who you can trust completely, there is really no one. But I completely believe that you will not hurt Li Qin, I am talking about the physical aspect."
Cui Jian: "Haha." Am I not the victim? If I am not sad and don't miss you, then I am not a victim? For the time being, I will not argue with you because I think you love your daughter so much.
Mo Ling: "The last reason is that we suspect it was done by a professional killer. Rumor has it that Blackbird doesn't touch the projects of Bodyguard A Division. I think if you take over the commission, it will be able to deter the other party to a great extent."
Cui Jian: "It may also make the other party more vicious."
Mo Ling smiled after hearing this, and after a moment's silence, he said, "Cui Jian, as a mother, I feel that Li Qin is not telling the truth in this matter."
Cui Jian: "What incident? Li Liang was assassinated?" Li Qin killed Li Liang to seize the family property?
Mo Ling said: "I think she and the four bodyguards on duty seem to know more."
Cui Jian asked: "Do you think there is a story behind Li Liang's assassination?"
Mo Ling nodded: "I think maybe Li Qin will tell you something." Cui Jian said: "Even if she tells me something, I will keep it secret."
Mo Ling smiled and didn't answer, saying, "The refreshments are ready, let's go sit downstairs."
Cui Jian admired Mo Ling. Although his son was not in danger of death, he was still in the hospital. When he talked to him, it seemed like he was talking about someone else's son. Of course, because Mo Ling was rational, the conversation went very smoothly and was very efficient. If everyone was like this, Cui Jian would not be against meaningless socializing.
Mo Ling and Ye Lan were drinking tea and chatting, while Cui Jian went to the side to contact Duanmu and the others. It was finally decided that Cui Jian would protect Li Qin from the afternoon until tomorrow morning. Zhen Diu and the other two would take over Li Qin's security work tomorrow morning, while Cui Jian, Zhao Ai and Duanmu would take over Li Liang's security work.
After returning to Hancheng, Ye Lan had a dinner party and declined Cui Jian's proposal to have lunch together. The dinner party was not important, and she participated in it to try to control their relationship. Cui Jian returned to the company with regret and disappointment. Before going abroad to compete, he returned the weapon and now applied for a new gun and bullets.
After lunch in the company cafeteria, Cui Jian contacted Li Qin. Li Qin obviously knew the reason why Cui Jian contacted her, and the conversation was very formal. She said that she was at Zheng Wen's home and asked Cui Jian to pick her up at Zheng Wen's home at 3 pm. They would go to the North Suburbs Church with the bride's family and friends.
Since his old car was not up to standard, Cui Jian contacted the logistics director Xiao Liu and went to the underground garage to pick out a car. After checking the condition of the car, Cui Jian filled up the car with gas, washed it, went back to the company's rest area to rest for an hour, and then drove to Zheng's house.
Cui Jian knew Zheng Wen, and it can be said that he was quite familiar with her. During the period of amnesia, Zheng Wen was the girl Cui Jian had contact with the second most after Li Qin. However, Cui Jian did not have a deep impression of Zheng Wen, after all, he only had Li Qin in his heart and eyes at that time. Thinking about it now, Zheng Wen was an outgoing and active girl in Cui Jian's mind, and she was very supportive of Cui Jian and Li Qin's relationship. According to Li Qin, Zheng Wen spoke well of Cui Jian in front of her many times, and even made Li Qin jealous a few times.
Zheng Wen's family is rich, but not a chaebol or wealthy class. She majored in foreign languages, graduated from graduate school last year, and works in the overseas department of Lin Group. She met the groom-to-be in the administrative department a year ago. This part of the information was told to Cui Jian by Mo Ling. Since Zheng Wen was not a VIP, Cui Jian did not take it seriously and automatically filtered out a lot of information.
The Zheng family is located in the Garden Community, which is a complex community composed of high-rise apartments and villas. According to the location given by Li Qin, Cui Jian successfully found the Zheng family villa.
There were more than a dozen cars parked in front of the villa, and the villa was crowded with people. It was obvious that many relatives and friends came to congratulate him. Cui Jian found a suitable place to park, turned around in advance, and sent a message to Li Qin: "I'm here, waiting outside."
There is a four-lane road in the middle of the garden community, with apartment buildings on the left and villas on the right. Cui Jian's car was parked near the intersection of the villas and the road, one and a half villas away from Zheng's house. Cui Jian attached two portable cameras to a nearby tree, one facing the left side of the road and one facing the right side of the road. He turned on the top camera in the car, and the three cameras could observe the entire road and the sky.
During the 20 minutes of observation, Cui Jian did not find any drones or suspicious vehicles, and he felt that no one was going to harm Li Qin. While he was observing, he received a call from an unfamiliar number. It was Zheng Wen who called: "Cui Jian, are you here to pick up Li Qin?" From her words, she seemed to be very familiar with Cui Jian.
Cui Jian: "Hello, Zheng Wen, happy wedding. Yes, I am Li Qin's temporary bodyguard."
Zheng Wen said, "We'll be leaving in 20 minutes. Would you like to come up for some tea? We haven't seen each other for a long time. The sisters all want to see you."
Cui Jian thought for a while and said, "Zheng Wen, if I remember correctly, you are the only one in your sister group who likes me."
Zheng Wen avoided answering and joked, "If you don't come up, maybe even I won't like you."
Cui Jian laughed: "I'm afraid there's nothing I can do. I still have to keep an eye on this during work hours."
Zheng Wen didn't force it: "Okay, I'll treat you to a meal later."
Cui Jian: “Okay.” Looking back, it seemed like a dream. Looking back again, it was his neck that was broken.
Cui Jian got out of the car and walked into the shadow of the green trees, continuing to observe the people and cars coming and going. Whether from his subjective perception or his objective observation, he never noticed anything.
Cui Jian called the technical department, and the person who answered the phone was Yiyi's only colleague in the technical department. He reported the situation Cui Jian wanted to know: "Outside vehicles in the Garden Community need to pay for parking for more than 15 minutes. According to the property management system, you are the last outside vehicle to enter the community so far. During this period, three outside vehicles left the community, and none of them stayed for more than 15 minutes."
Cui Jian asked: "Have VIP phones been hacked?"
The technician smiled bitterly: "Brother, I am not Boss Yiyi, please don't make things difficult for me."
Cui Jian asked: "Is there any situation with Li Liang?"
The technician replied: "Li Liang is in the observation ward of a private hospital."
Cui Jian waited for a while: "And then?"
"Then what?"
Cui Jian: "Which building? Which floor? Which ward? Are there any family members accompanying him? How many bodyguards are there? Are the doctor and nurse profiles on file? Can facial recognition be performed through the hospital surveillance?"
The technician burst into tears: "Brother, I can't do it."
"Okay, thank you, goodbye." Cui Jian hung up the phone.
Li Qin didn't have the habit of having bodyguards. If they wanted to kill Li Qin and Li Liang, they should have killed Li Qin before or after killing Li Liang. From the perspective of theory, logic and field observation, Li Qin was not threatened. But Cui Jian believed that Mo Ling had a purpose in hiring him.
After thinking about it, there are only two purposes. One purpose is to find a way to rekindle the old relationship between me and Li Qin, which is almost impossible. After all, she is a lawyer named Mo. Another purpose is what Mo Ling said. She thinks Li Qin has concealed something about Li Liang, and even the bodyguard may have concealed something from her. I hope Cui Jian can ask some questions.
Speculation: The part that Li Qin and the bodyguard concealed should not have much to do with Li Liang's safety, otherwise they would not have kept it secret. It is most likely something that Mo Ling opposed. What would a mother oppose her adult son to do? Excluding extreme cases such as murder and arson, one is gambling and the other is drugs. What about Huang?
Cui Jian believes that Mo Ling will not stop the single Li Liang from contacting Huang, but if Li Qin is also hiding it, it should have nothing to do with gambling or drugs.
The camera had been running for too long, and Cui Jian didn't want to think about it anymore, so he put away the camera and went back to the car. The sun was blazing hot in the summer afternoon, and there were few pedestrians, only cars entering and leaving.
After waiting for a while, Cui Jian saw Li Qin walking towards his car in the rearview mirror. He put his right hand on the pistol and observed the surrounding situation. Li Qin was completely alone. If someone was following Li Qin, they would know that this was a good opportunity to attack.
There was no situation. The back seat was opened and Li Qin got in the car: "Let's go to the church first."
"Okay." Cui Jian connected with the technician: "Keep an eye on it for me. Watch out for any tails."
Technician: “Understood.” This is still possible.
