How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!
Chapter 59 - 59 59 Listen to a Deduction as if It Were a Story

59: Chapter 59: Listen to a Deduction as if It Were a Story 59: Chapter 59: Listen to a Deduction as if It Were a Story Lin Xiaosu said, “Why not call your driver over to ask him in person?

Maybe he’s been up to something behind your back?”

Du Lifeng slightly furrowed his brow: “Little Juan, give Dongzi a call and have him come over!”

The secretary, Little Juan, immediately dialed the number.

Soon after, the door to the office opened, and the person Lin Xiaosu had closely observed through “Reverse Time” walked in.

The man was approximately thirty years old, slim, and quite handsome.

“Boss, you called for me?” His voice was calm, and his demeanor refined.

“Dongzi, answer all of Detective Lin’s questions truthfully!” said Du Lifeng.

“Sure, boss!”

Lin Xiaosu turned to Dongzi: “Deputy Director Liu Dong from the City Security Bureau said that around 8 o’clock last night, you delivered fifty thousand yuan to him, asking him to find a way to shutdown my Fengcheng Detective Agency.

Is this true?”

Dongzi looked a bit bewildered: “City Security Bureau?

Liu Dong?

I don’t remember that at all, delivering money?

Impossible.

I don’t even know him!

Besides, I’m not familiar with the Fengcheng Detective Agency…”

“Where were you last night at 8 o’clock?” Lin Xiaosu asked.

“Last night at 8 o’clock…

I was still with the boss after 7 o’clock, and by 8 o’clock I should have been back in my room, probably taking a shower?

I forgot exactly, but after leaving here, I returned to my room and didn’t go out again.”

Every movement, every expression, Zhou Mei, with her teacup in hand, could see everything clearly.

Including the slightest change in gaze.

She had to admit, she could not detect any clues.

She also seemed to question whether Lin Xiaosu had made a mistake.

Lin Xiaosu fell silent…

“Detective Lin, anything else you want to ask?” Dongzi said.

“No, that’s all!”

“Then boss, I’ll step out now!” Dongzi said.

Du Lifeng nodded gently.

Lin Xiaosu stood up, a smile appearing on his face, and extended his hand: “Sorry to trouble you to come here.”

“It’s nothing.” Dongzi also smiled and shook his hand.

A gentle shake, a very normal etiquette.

However, Dongzi’s eyelids suddenly twitched slightly.

He felt an unusually strong grip from Lin Xiaosu’s handshake.

As the grip relaxed, Lin Xiaosu turned around, touched his head lightly, and sat back on the sofa.

After a moment of hesitation, Dongzi stepped out of the office.

There was a brief silence in the office.

Du Lifeng smiled lightly: “Detective Lin, it seems this was a misunderstanding.”

Lin Xiaosu slowly lifted his gaze, silently regarding him.

Du Lifeng said, “As businessmen, we value harmony and wealth creation, and would not make enemies without reason.

You and I have had no dealings before, and this is our first meeting today.

Just by thinking about it, it’s clear that I would have no reason to target you, right?”

This statement logically dealt with the issue.

How others saw it, Zhou Mei did not know, but she herself was almost convinced.

Indeed, what reason would Du Lifeng have to target him?

No motive at all…

“Boss Du, I am a detective, and we detectives are accustomed to reasoning.

I have a theory I’d like to discuss with you.

If it makes sense, don’t be upset; if it doesn’t, just laugh it off as a ludicrous tale, what do you say?”

“Detective Lin really has an interesting taste, let’s hear it!” Du Lifeng chuckled.

Du Lifeng said, “I have no dealings with you, which is true in a physical sense, but, in some past events, honestly, you have occasionally come under my radar.”

Zhou Mei felt a sudden stir in her heart.

This was the critical point.

Du Lifeng’s brows furrowed: “Oh?

Let’s hear it.”

Lin Xiaosu said, “There was a case seven days ago, the widely known case involving the CEO of Hongxing Pharmaceutical, Wang Changfa.

Boss Du, you must have heard of it.”

Du Lifeng nodded slightly.

“The key person in this case, Li Yufeng, had applied a new poison named P39 in her locale, which can be transmitted sexually.

She transmitted it to Wang Changfa, who then passed it on to other women involved with him.

Initially, we believed this case was simply about a mistress ascending to power, but we later vaguely discovered it wasn’t just about a mistress’s rise; her real intention was to foster a drug dependency in Wang Changfa, and then to seize his billions in assets.”

Zhou Mei’s heart skipped a beat…

Why suddenly bring up this case now?

Why?

What does this have to do with Du Lifeng?

Du Lifeng sighed lightly: “I have indeed heard of this case, but like most people, I thought it was a mistress usurping a position.

I didn’t expect there to be such twisted and bizarre insider stories behind it, hmm, although convoluted, this explanation makes more sense.”

“Although it makes sense, there are still a few doubts about the case that I have not been able to connect,” Lin Xiaosu said.

“Firstly, p39 was only added to the police database in March this year, theoretically, this drug shouldn’t be circulating on the market, so how did Li Yufeng get hold of this drug?

Secondly, Li Yufeng was not poisoned herself, setting aside the incredibly unlikely possibility of her having a special constitution, there’s only one other possibility – she took an antidote beforehand, which is even more bizarre.

A new type of drug, and the police haven’t even completed analyzing its composition, yet she managed to obtain an antidote!

Where did the antidote come from?”

Du Lifeng scratched his head: “I really admire you detectives, just listening to this makes my head spin.”

“There’s a third doubt!” Lin Xiaosu said with a light smile.

“We previously concluded that Li Yufeng did this to foster Wang Changfa’s drug dependency, which actually doesn’t hold up.

A major business owner with assets worth hundreds of millions isn’t so easily emptied, even if he developed an addiction, forming a dependency, it’s not something Li Yufeng could just handle at will.”

Zhou Mei’s heart raced.

The points Lin Xiaosu mentioned were all doubts held by the police.

The real doubts.

Could it be that he has an answer?

Du Lifeng said: “Detective Lin’s reasoning is indeed brilliant, perhaps I’m just slower, it took me a while to sort it out.”

Lin Xiaosu said: “These three major doubts had puzzled me too until I saw a piece of news, and suddenly a figure appeared in my mind, and that person is you, Boss Du.”

Everyone in the room was shocked…

Du Lifeng widened his eyes: “A piece of news made you think of me?”

He curved his fingers, pointing at his own nose, his face filled with disbelief.

“On the government’s website, there was a news article from March 17th, Dell Company negotiated with Hongxing Pharmaceutical.

This negotiation was conducted under the guidance of county government departments, but the news did not mention any consensus reached, which indicates that your discussion was unsuccessful.

So, I researched carefully and discovered that the project you discussed was about the management rights of bases…”

Hongxing Pharmaceutical is a local pharmaceutical company, its biggest strength is that it owns nine production bases for medicinal materials.

Dell Company is a foreign pharmaceutical company, holding the latest technologies.

When these two powerhouses join forces, new opportunities arise.

This was the key reason why the county government led this negotiation, to facilitate a win-win cooperation between the two major local pharmaceutical companies.

However, Hongxing Pharmaceutical was not on board.

Why?

Because they knew, once Dell Group took over the management rights of these medicinal bases, they would genetically modify the traditional Chinese medicine herbs, and performing genetic transformations at the medicinal material stage is a highly risky affair, a slight mishap could lead to unpredictable effects of the medicine.

The biggest resistance in Hongxing Pharmaceutical was Wang Changfa!

Although Wang Changfa is lecherous, acts boldly, and often does unreasonable things, he still maintains the basic ethical line of a pharmaceutical factory owner.

In fact, other shareholders of Hongxing Pharmaceutical agreed to the plan, but it was Wang Changfa who used his veto power at the internal shareholders’ meeting to halt this project.

Based on this, Wang Changfa became the last, and only opponent of this project.

Zhou Mei was completely stiff, sitting there as if unable to move.

He has conducted follow-up investigations after this case.

And dug deeper into the insider stories.

Going further than the police…

Du Lifeng’s face finally showed some gloom: “That project wasn’t a secret!

We also went through multiple validations, and the project’s safety was approved by an expert panel, even the government departments approved it, otherwise…”

“Government departments have good intentions, but does good intention always lead to good actions?” Lin Xiaosu said.

Good intentions do not necessarily lead to good actions!

No matter how strict the risk control measures are, they are ultimately implemented by humans at each key point, and people can be bribed.

Do you think the conclusions reached by the expert panel are definitely objective and fair?

What if some key figures are biased?

“This is not an issue we should be discussing!” Du Lifeng said.

“Indeed.

That’s why I said, this is just speculation!

What if, I mean what if…” Lin Xiaosu leaned forward slowly, his voice lowered a bit: “What if Li Yufeng was your man, Boss Du, then her three major doubts would all be resolved!

It also explains why you sent money to Liu Dong, having him drive me out of Fengcheng, because I inadvertently messed up your grand plan, and you also worried I might disrupt your new plans.”

Li Yufeng, originally couldn’t have accessed the latest type of p39, but Du Lifeng, as a company owner focusing on genetic pharmaceutical research, could he not get it?

Li Yufeng, originally couldn’t have accessed an antidote, could Du Lifeng’s research team possibly have already developed it?

Li Yufeng using this new type of drug to empty the assets of the billionaire Wang Changfa is somewhat idealistic, but what if her goal wasn’t to drain his assets but just to force his compliance?

That’s a different outcome.

Think about it, Wang Changfa himself was already under tremendous pressure from various aspects.

At this time, addicted to drugs, getting deeper into a vortex others created, could he resist?

Eventually sliding down a slippery slope is foreseeable.

Du Lifeng’s face finally turned genuinely dark: “Detective Lin you…”

Lin Xiaosu laughed heartily, interrupting!

His hand gently raised: “Boss Du, we had a prior agreement, this is just a deduction, if it’s right, don’t be upset, if it’s wrong, just think of it as a story.”

Everyone was left dumbfounded.
