He felt a little baffled by He Qile's sudden concentration. He had been indifferent since he came in, so why did he suddenly become energetic now?
Qu Mingcong raised his eyebrows, and He Qile seemed to suddenly come back to his senses, with a confused expression on his face.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Qu Mingcong asked in a low voice.
"...I'm fine." He Qile lowered his head, picked up the information that Qu Mingcong had just given to him and looked again as if nothing happened.
At this time, the assistant distributed the information again.
Qu Mingcong received it and found that it was a contract with very complete terms.
Ding Zhaolin is Party A, and those who participated in the investigation are Party B. Party A will actively cooperate with Party B's investigation activities and pay labor fees of 20,000 yuan after two weeks. Party B is obliged to investigate Ding Na's suicide, no later than December
Submit the investigation report before 20:00 on the evening of the 31st.
Qu Mingcong opened his phone and looked at the calendar. December 31 happened to be next Saturday, two weeks apart.
"There doesn't seem to be any mention of bonuses." Mei Chao looked over the contract several times and asked Ding Zhaolin, "Mr. Ding, what are your plans for the one million bonus?"
Ding Zhaolin was not surprised by this question. It is estimated that people who came to investigate before have also raised this question.
Ding Zhaolin explained with a smile: "You all must know that the reason why I launched this investigation is to eliminate the rumors that have troubled me and my family for more than a year. If someone can investigate the cause and effect clearly, eliminate the rumors, and wash away my
The stain on my body is my benefactor, so I will naturally give away this million."
Cao Xiuwen, a former reporter, immediately shook his head, "This is not easy. Not to mention that more than a year has passed since Ling Qianjin committed suicide. The investigation is extremely difficult. Even if we can really find out, it is impossible to silence everyone.
The speculation and suspicion is that once the seeds are planted, they will always be there and cannot disappear completely.”
"Yes," Mei Chao smiled and looked at Ding Zhaolin, "Actually, if you think of a way, you can change the direction of public opinion, but if you want to completely eliminate the rumors, it is really impossible, just like what we did before
QQ, there are always false news that you can get membership or red envelope by forwarding a few groups. After so many years, some people still believe it. I don’t know what Mr. Ding thinks is enough to eliminate the rumor. If you want the whole network not to
If one person believes and spreads rumors, it will be very difficult for us."
After Mei Chao finished speaking, Pan Fang spoke immediately: "Actually, I feel that after the previous two rounds of investigations, the rumors have almost subsided."
"Yes." Ding Zhaolin nodded slowly and said with a smile, "After spending money, it must be used to some extent. Otherwise, wouldn't my money be wasted in vain? Even if no one can find out the whole story, as long as the investigation continues
If this continues, I believe that the rumors will stop sooner or later. The labor fee for each issue is now 80,000, and my one million can still support ten issues."
Qu Mingcong finally understood. This old gentleman wanted to spend money to buy his reputation. He took out one million, either as a bonus or as labor fees, which would eventually achieve his goal.
He turned his head and spoke to He Qile in a low voice: "Aren't you a puzzle lover? If you have any questions, ask them now."
He Qile was silent for two seconds and shook his head at him.
Qu Mingcong frowned slightly, "What, social fear?"
He Qile had a speechless expression on his face, pursed his lips, said nothing, lowered his head and continued to read the information, refusing to communicate further.
Qu Mingcong felt that this child was difficult to deal with. He was not like an eighteen-year-old, but more like a thirteen- or fourteen-year-old. He had the awkwardness of adolescence and could not say anything freely.
On the other side, Mei Chao, Cao Xiuwen, and Pan Fang continued to ask questions, asking about the details of Ding Na's suicide and how far the relevant information could be disclosed on the Internet.
Ding Zhaolin glanced at the assistant.
The assistant understood, picked up the remote control, turned on the projection equipment, and explained politely: "Now I will show you the surveillance video and photos of Miss Ding's accident, as well as the autopsy report issued by the police. Because these information involve Miss Ding's privacy, there is no
Photocopies of paper documents can only be viewed here, and please do not record or take photos to avoid leaking the information."
The assistant walked to the window and pulled down the curtains on several windows one by one.
The light in the room dimmed, and the picture on the projection screen became clear.
They saw a female body.
There was no mosaic, it just appeared suddenly without modification. Everyone's expressions changed and their expressions became solemn.
The corpse was lying on its stomach, with its face turned to one side, its eyes closed, its long hair scattered, and it was wearing a long white dress.
If she were still alive, this white dress would have been elegant and graceful, but now that it was rubbed into dust and stained with blood, it looked a bit dazzling and creepy.
Mei Chao was the hardest hit, and his face turned blue, as if he would vomit in the next second.
Fortunately, the photo quickly switched to the next one——
A room with lots of china.
"Ding Na jumped from the window here." Ding Zhaolin said solemnly, "That night, when the security guard on duty at the museum was inspecting, he heard the sound of breaking porcelain, and then found Ding Na standing on the window sill on the fourth floor.
By the time he reacted, Ding Na had already fallen."
Cao Xiuwen asked: "The sound of the porcelain breaking is..."
"Ding Na threw it down from upstairs," Ding Zhaolin said. "It was a collection of blue and white porcelain from the Song Dynasty. For some unknown reason, she threw the porcelain downstairs and then jumped down."
Pan Fang couldn't help but said: "Antiques from the Song Dynasty must be worth a lot of money, right?"
Ding Zhaolin smiled faintly and nodded: "It is indeed valuable, but what Ding Na threw downstairs that night was a replica. The original is currently on display on the third floor of the West Building. You can go and take a look later."
Cao Xiuwen asked: "Imitation? That...means fake? Counterfeit?"
The assistant on the side immediately explained: "Please don't get me wrong. The exhibits in the museum are absolutely genuine. However, because these exhibits require regular maintenance and repair, the museum will prepare corresponding imitations to replace the exhibits. The imitations
It is almost exactly the same as the real thing and will not affect the experience of the guests who come here to visit.”
Mei Chao nodded after hearing this, "I heard that foreign museums do the same thing. Those famous paintings such as the Mona Lisa are all fake. The real ones are hidden in the safe with the highest safety factor. Visitors can't tell them apart anyway."
Whether it’s real or fake, there’s no difference between looking at fake paintings or looking at real paintings.”
"But it's strange, don't you think?" Qu Mingcong frowned, "Why did you throw the porcelain down first? If she just wanted to destroy the porcelain, she could have jumped down with it."
The other three people looked over.
Pan Fang agreed and said: "Yes, this is really strange. First break the porcelain and then jump down. Aren't you afraid of hurting yourself? Although people who decide to commit suicide may not care so much, it is still strange...
"
Ding Zhaolin's eyes fell on Qu Mingcong and he said with a faint smile: "This... is indeed puzzling. I hope that through your investigation, the truth will come to light."
