How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 233: The Murder at the Wedding Banquet
Chapter 233: Chapter 233: The Murder at the Wedding Banquet
Behind her, there were countless guests.
But no matter how many guests there were, the handsome man walking over was eye-catching.
He looked about twenty-seven or twenty-eight, tall and well-proportioned, dressed in a snow-white suit with a light yellow shirt underneath, elevating his elegance to the ceiling.
A faint smile played on his lips as he walked by, drawing the eyes of several women in the guest line, seemingly unwilling to look away again.
He was He Bin.
A second-generation official.
His father is He Gaosheng, the current mayor of Jiangcheng.
Today’s wedding banquet gathered business elites with countless wealthy second-generation individuals, but there were not many second-generation officials among them.
The status of second-generation officials in the minds of the elites is far higher than that of the wealthy second-generation individuals.
And he, this second-generation official, was a rare standout among them.
A representative figure of self-reliance.
Handsome, with a good background, he could have relied on his father, but chose to rely on himself...
"Ruoshui, long time no see!" He Bin came to Ding Ruoshui, the smile on his face slightly more mature than when they met at the beginning of the year.
He did not notice Lin Xiaosu; perhaps Lin Xiaosu didn’t exist in his eyes at all.
Ding Ruoshui smiled slightly: "It hasn’t been that long! Didn’t we meet at the beginning of the year? He Bin, let me introduce you, this is my boyfriend, Lin Xiaosu."
She gently pointed with her finger, formally introducing Lin Xiaosu to He Bin.
He Bin’s gaze finally swept across Lin Xiaosu’s face...
Yes, just a glance...
Lin Xiaosu smiled and gave him a polite nod and a courteous greeting, "Hello!"
However, He Bin’s gaze had already moved on: "Ruoshui, you are still joking, how could you have any association with such a person?"
Ding Ruoshui’s smile disappeared.
Lin Xiaosu remained unmoved, keeping his smile.
He Bin’s gaze swept over Lin Xiaosu again: "Buddy, how about changing positions?"
Lin Xiaosu smiled and shook his head, "Sorry, no change!"
"A wise man knows his own limitations!" He Bin’s hand fell on Lin Xiaosu’s shoulder: "Let me give you some advice, do not force yourself into circles where you don’t belong!"
Ding Ruoshui’s brows suddenly furrowed...
The surrounding guests all turned their gazes.
Some were excited, some were curious.
This was a drama, a sensational drama at a wedding...
The people in this area were relatively high-end.
Many people knew that He Bin was pursuing Ding Ruoshui.
Some even knew of He Bin’s bold declaration when he returned to the country, stating that Ding Ruoshui belonged to him!
And today, at a gathering of Jiangcheng’s top business elites, he openly defended his sovereignty—it was intriguing...
Lin Xiaosu’s polite smile completely disappeared, his gaze slowly rising, "Take your hand off!"
He Bin sneered, "Get out!"
His hand fell with great force!
According to his plan, the man in front of him would be grabbed and thrown into the nearby pool, making a big fool of himself...
Just one throw, and this pretty boy would no longer try to force his way into the top circles?
The Ding Family would refrain from establishing relations with him?
However, once He Bin exerted his force, everything took an unexpected turn!
Lin Xiaosu did not budge an inch!
With a loud crash, He Bin himself... flew high into the air!
Thump!
He crashed into the nearby pool.
Water splashed high into the air, and the guests all screamed...
Lin Xiaosu brushed his shoulder lightly, "Is this the ’clear stream’ among Jiangcheng’s second-generation officials? Isn’t it rather a lunatic?"
His voice was neither too loud nor too soft.
At least the people around him could hear it.
Ding Ruoshui’s face changed dramatically...
She didn’t actually like being the center of attention in such a large crowd, but today, she was dragged into it by this He Bin, it was really crazy...
Suddenly, someone screamed, "Why isn’t he moving?"
"Oh my god... is he dead?"
Lin Xiaosu jumped to his feet, his gaze as sharp as an arrow, shooting toward the pool.
A lot of people had gathered around the pool.
In the pool, there was He Bin.
He Bin was half-floated and half-submerged in the clear water, motionless.
Ding Ruoshui’s heart suddenly sank with an ominous premonition...
Two male waiters jumped into the pool and dragged He Bin out, his eyes were shut tight, and his face completely devoid of color.
A waiter put a hand under his nose and sprang up as if electrocuted: "No breath! He’s dead..."
The whole place erupted like an explosion!
Behind the glamorous wedding stage, Lei Xiaojun, the groom’s father, was pinning a red flower on himself when he heard the commotion outside. He rushed out, only to see the wet corpse and hear the deceased’s identity: He Bin, the only son of Mayor He!
His mind went blank, a thunderous blow...
A murder at a wedding, and the deceased was the mayor’s only son...
"Call the police!"
"Call 120 first!"
"Quick..."
Countless calls were made simultaneously...
The guests around Lin Xiaosu and Ding Ruoshui scattered, creating a vacuum around them...
Everyone witnessed Lin Xiaosu having a confrontation with He Bin, He Bin being pushed into the pool by him, and then dying...
This was the killer!
At someone else’s wedding, in a gathering of business elites, blatantly committing murder!
Despite her Ancient Martial arts skills and usually unflappable nature, Ding Ruoshui was in chaos: "Xiaosu, what’s happening?"
Lin Xiaosu didn’t answer, his brows tightly furrowed, his expression extremely dark...
The ambulance arrived faster than expected.
As soon as the doctors arrived, they began their examination, but all the instruments showed no response...
"Doctor, how is it?" Lei Xiaojun tore off the big red flower on his chest, panicking for the first time in his life.
The doctor shook his head slowly: "There are no signs of life, there’s no need for resuscitation."
Lei Xiaojun staggered and almost fell.
A dozen police officers entered, led by Chief Shen Yinchuan of the Criminal Investigation Team.
As soon as Shen Yinchuan arrived, a few young men rushed over, belonging to Jiangcheng’s second-generation officials.
"Chief Shen!" one young man shouted, "It’s him! He killed He Bin!"
He pointed sharply at Lin Xiaosu.
A keen light filled Shen Yinchuan’s eyes as he strode forward, two police officers right behind him.
Lin Xiaosu’s gaze was somewhat hollow as he looked towards the pool, blinking slowly when Shen Yinchuan stopped behind him, then turning his head.
Shen Yinchuan’s fierce and resolute face changed at the sight: "Xiaosu! Why is it you?"
"Chief Shen!" Lin Xiaosu said, "I didn’t kill him!"
"You still dare to say you didn’t?" the initial young man stepped forward, "In front of a thousand witnesses, it was you!"
"Yes, I saw it too!" A commanding voice accompanied the emergence of another individual.
Lin Xiaosu’s gaze fell on a familiar face!
When the exotic beast killed at Tashan (in fact, it was not an unusual murder but by the Li Tian Clan), the provincial police had come to Fengcheng, led by this person.
Chief Zhang of the Fengcheng Criminal Investigation Team called him "Director Li".
He was also here, attending the wedding as an ordinary guest, not in uniform.
"If even Director Li of the provincial department witnessed it, what more doubt can there be? Chief Shen, arrest him quickly!" Another second-generation official stepped forward.
Shen Yinchuan’s thick eyebrows knit into a "川" shape, his gaze slowly shifting to Lin Xiaosu: "Xiaosu, what’s going on?"
If it had been anyone else, Shen Yinchuan would have immediately made an arrest without question.
But Lin Xiaosu was a rare exception.
Lin Xiaosu had once been involved in a major case organized by Qianlong No. 88, during which he and Shen Yinchuan were comrades-in-arms.
Lin Xiaosu was also a close partner of Qianlong.
Facing this old teammate, the "Shen Iron Fist" known to challenge superiors, couldn’t bring himself to act.
He also couldn’t believe Lin Xiaosu would kill someone in such a setting.
Who was Lin Xiaosu?
He was a meticulous detective, a genius who never made mistakes...
How could he make such a rookie mistake?
"Chief Shen, this He Bin provoked me without reason and attacked me first. I only threw him into the pool, but I didn’t kill him. There are other hidden factors in his death!" Lin Xiaosu said.
Shen Yinchuan abruptly turned around, "Forensics, has the report come out?"
Two forensic doctors looked up, "Chief Shen, from the outside, there were no injuries. To draw a conclusion, an autopsy is needed!"
An autopsy!
At a wedding!
Facing an irrepressible Lin Xiaosu...
Shen Yinchuan was torn: "Xiaosu, come with me! We’ll wait for the autopsy results..."
Lin Xiaosu shook his head, "No!"
"You..." Shen Yinchuan’s forehead vein throbbed.
Even he could no longer agree.
Witnessed by everyone, you killed He Bin.
Think of me, as a policeman, dealing with this situation, what can I do?
Coming with me is the best option!
"If I go with you, this matter will become even more difficult to explain!" Lin Xiaosu said.
"Then what do you suggest?" Shen Yinchuan nearly scratched his head.
"Let me check, confirm He Bin’s true cause of death first!"
The crowd buzzed...
"The murderer examining the victim? What a joke?" someone exclaimed.
"Arrest him already, what are you waiting for?"
"Chief Shen!" Director Li’s face darkened, "Wearing your police uniform, bearing the national emblem, negotiating with a murderer in public, don’t you think it’s dereliction of duty?"
The statement was calm but powerful!
Shen Yinchuan’s face really changed.
This was an accusation from the provincial department.
This was the fatal nail driven into his heart...
Suddenly, a voice came from the crowd, "It’s not necessary to perform an autopsy to confirm the true cause of death! Let me handle it!"
With the voice, a figure stood up.
Dressed in a gray coat, sitting in the crowd unnoticed, but standing up, he was like a crane among chickens.
He was He Jiang, a highly renowned detective in Jiangcheng.
He had also arrived.
Shen Yinchuan’s heart moved slightly; this was a way...
Director Li nodded slightly, "He Jiang, Jiangcheng’s top detective, his skills are unparalleled. I think it’s viable! Let him take a look!"
