Du Fei's face was extremely serious as he listened to Zhou Peng describing the situation on the phone.
It turns out that Lardboy never came home last night.
This is not surprising at all.
But this morning, while cleaning the property, his body was found in the corridor.
There were only two wounds, one to cut the throat and one to pierce the heart. They were very clean and clearly fatal...
Du Fei frowned after hearing this.
Lardboy died suddenly, which really surprised him. .??.
With Lei Luo's status rising, and Lard Boy helping Du Fei look after the pharmaceutical factory, this fat man's status is now unusual.
Normal gangsters wouldn't dare to touch him in a vendetta.
If not, who would it be?
Is he here for himself? Or is it that someone wants to touch Lei Luo and cut off his wings first?
Du Fei silently guessed.
After Zhou Peng got the news, he immediately thought of the first possibility, and then immediately made a long-distance call to Du Fei.
However, this kind of thing cannot be investigated for a while.
The most important thing now is not guessing, but how to deal with the current situation.
Previously, Lardboy had been in charge of the pharmaceutical factory, which was the hen that laid golden eggs. The factory could not stop without people.
Du Fei said, "Brother Zhou, I have no one I can trust over there. Is it okay if you take over the factory?"
Zhou Peng said nothing, "Don't worry about this."
Du Fei responded without saying anything more.
If something happened in the capital or Xiangjiang, he was beyond his reach and could only wait for the next development.
Putting down the phone, Du Fei's recent good mood was gone.
“I’m so happy that I feel so sad~”
Du Fei murmured softly, with a vague premonition that Lardboy's death was just the beginning.
The other party is not targeting Lei Luo...
At noon, after lunch, Du Fei was in the office, leaning on his chair silently.
He is waiting for a phone call.
The phone on the table never rang, and it was not until about 1:30 in the afternoon that it finally rang.
Du Fei reached out and grabbed the receiver, and a long-lost voice came from over there.
Without any pleasantries, Du Fei said bluntly, "Old Qin, what's going on over there?"
It was Qin Feng who called.
Du Fei had arranged for Qin Feng to stay in Xiangjiang just to deal with this situation.
Qin Feng said concisely and comprehensively, "Lardboy's death time should have been around eleven o'clock last night. The killer was very professional and a master. There were only two wounds, both fatal, and there was no fight..."
Du Fei listened patiently to Qin Feng's explanation, which was basically similar to what Zhou Peng said in the morning.
But Du Fei knew that there must be something more important next.
If Qin Feng only has this ability, there is no way It was necessary to arrange for him to come all the way.
Sure enough, after saying this, Qin Feng continued, "In addition, in the recent period, Lardboy has had contact with a Yizhou person three times..."
"Yizhou?" Du Fei's heart moved and he asked, "What does the other party do?"
Qin Feng said, "It's not clear yet. They met very secretly. This information was revealed from the mouth of Lardboy's driver."
Du Fei subconsciously thought of Zheng Maoqing.
As the second-ranking figure in the Yizhou Military Qing Department, he definitely has experts who can kill the lard boy silently.
But what about the motive?
Why did Zheng Maoqing do this?
Not long ago, Zheng Maoqing just obtained the franchise rights of ‘Qian Jin Mi Jing Wan’ in Yizhou.
As long as this business is done, it's not much more than making a fortune every day.
This person loves money as much as his life, how could he cut off his own money?
Unless...he wants more.
Du Fei shook his head, this didn't make sense.
By killing the lard boy, Zheng Maoqing will only lose more, and it is impossible to gain more.
Besides Zheng Maoqing, who else could it be?
At this time, Qin Feng added, "There is another situation. The pharmaceutical factory reported a case two days ago. According to the records, someone invaded the factory, but no one was arrested, and there was no property damage..."
Du Fei frowned. Qin Feng specifically mentioned this situation, obviously thinking it was related to the death of Lard Boy.
It's just that time is short and I can't see the specific connection between the two for the time being.
After a moment of pause, Qin Feng continued, "This is all I have for the time being. Next, I plan to investigate from the person who invaded the pharmaceutical factory down."
Qin Feng gives directional suggestions based on experience.
However, Du Fei thought for a moment and objected, "Don't worry about the pharmaceutical factory. Let's investigate the Yizhou guy first."
I could feel that Qin Feng on the other side of the phone was stunned for a moment.
Du Fei explained, "Old Qin, if you only investigate the death of Lardboy, of course your direction will be fine..."
Qin Feng was very experienced and immediately understood what Du Fei meant: "Are you trying to let it go on purpose to lure the snake out of its hole?"
Du Fei said, "Since someone has invaded the pharmaceutical factory and even killed people directly, no matter what their intentions are, they will definitely not give up. Instead of us going to the trouble of finding them, it is better to let them jump out on their own."
Du Fei still didn't say a word.
Lardboy is dead as long as he dies. He is not a good person anyway, and his friendship is just average.
Besides, there is Lei Luo, an old boss and old friend, so Du Fei has nothing to worry about.
Even if the murderer is found, he is just a killer.
Now that the enemy is hidden and we are clear, the top priority is to find out the mastermind behind it and identify the enemy.
response.
Putting down the phone, Du Fei picked up the pen and quickly wrote Qin Feng's clues on the notebook in front of him.
What Qin Feng mentioned just now are the two most important pieces of information.
One is that Lardboy has been in secret contact with a Yizhou person recently.
Second, someone has invaded a pharmaceutical factory, but the purpose is temporarily unknown.
Closing the pen cap, Du Fei stared at these two lines of words.
There is a feeling in my heart that the other party will not stop here and will follow up with the next move soon.
As expected.
Just three days after Lardboy's death, something happened to the pharmaceutical factory.
I received a call from Zhou Peng at noon that day.
Someone actually died after taking the ‘Qian Jin Mi Jing Pill’
Moreover, it was not just one or two people who had problems, but more than ten people who had serious adverse reactions.
When I went to the hospital for examination, myocardial enzymes were found to be too high, and my heart may have been damaged.
The most serious case is sudden cardiac arrest and death while doing that.
This has stirred up a hornet's nest.
You know, because the price is so high, most people can't afford it.
Those who can spend thousands of gold secret essence pills are either powerful or rich.
At the same time, reporters from major newspapers and tabloids swarmed into negative reports as if they had been prepared for it.
I wish I could just push the 'Qianjin Secret Essence Pill' to the ground and then stomp it hard.
This sudden incident left Zhou Peng overwhelmed and distressed.
Du Fei was not too anxious.
Although the value of the pharmaceutical factory is not small, it is not a big deal to Du Fei.
As long as he has some space, he can create ten more at any time.
Neither pharmaceutical factories nor prescriptions are the core. The real core is the upgrade function of the portable space.
A few days before I contacted someone, someone broke into the pharmaceutical factory but didn't steal anything.
Obviously, that person went in not to steal anything, but to 'give' something.
As long as you add something to the raw medicinal materials, it is not surprising that the current effect will occur.
Coupled with the nonsense written by those tabloids, it shows that this incident has been planned for a long time.
The only thing that remains unclear is who is behind these little tricks? What is their purpose?
But it is certain that the other party has a lot of background.
At least in Xiangjiang, there is no fear of Lei Luo's revenge.
In any case, Lard Boy was also Lei Luo's horse boy, and he was killed for no apparent reason. No matter what Lei Luo thought, he had to take a tough stance, otherwise it would be difficult to lead the team in the future.
Furthermore, there are the reactions from the big newspapers and tabloids.
If you use money, it's not strange to call two families. If you are willing to use the money to call two or three more families, it's almost the same. But about this matter, almost all the newspapers in Xiangjiang came up with names.
Before the matter was investigated, there was an obvious tendency to pin the responsibility on the pharmaceutical company.
Who can have so much energy?
Thinking of this, Du Fei's eyes became more and more serious.
I already have some outlines in my mind.
But you have to ask someone what is going on.
Du Fei picked up the phone again.
It took a long time to get connected this time.
"Du, I guessed that you would definitely call me." Vincent's voice came from the other side of the phone.
Du Fei smiled and said, "We are friends. If something happens, we should look for friends, shouldn't we?"
"Of course, it's about your pharmaceutical factory?" Vincent confirmed in a relaxed tone.
As the nephew of the Hong Kong Governor, Vincent has his own methods.
Although Lardboy stood at the front desk to hide his identity from others, he could hide it from others but could not hide it from him.
Du Fei was not surprised and admitted it bluntly.
Vincent said, "Have you ever heard of the Slater family in Manchester?"
Du Fei frowned.
I am not interested in the so-called aristocratic studies in England, and I have never heard of the Slater family, but Slytherin does know about it.
Vincent explained, "The Slater family was an upstart who emerged in the late Cromwell period. They made their fortune through maritime trade and once owned a privateering license issued by the Queen..."
Hearing this, Du Fei understood that they were a pirate family that had been causing trouble for a long time.
He even got a privateering license, which was very high-sounding.
He said in a deep voice, "You mean, it was the Slater family who did it this time?"
Vincent smiled and said, "I didn't say that, but...the third son of the Slater family, Sol Slater, came to Xiangjiang last month and seemed to have taken your kind of medicine..." At this point, Wen
Sente's tone suddenly rose, "Hey Du, the pills you use to plant flowers are really magical. That's simply wonderful."
Du Fei was a little speechless. The topic was distorted. Is this the point?
Vincent chuckled and continued, "I guess Sol Slater must have tried it and felt pretty good..."
After ending the call, Du Fei's face looked uncertain.
According to Vincent, Sol Slater should have tasted the sweetness.
A week ago, I contacted Lard Zai through the head office of HSBC Bank and expressed my intention to acquire the pharmaceutical factory.
The result was no doubt that he was rejected by Lardboy.
To say that the two things before and after did not matter, Du Fei didn't believe it anyway.
Moreover, the Slater family was originally a pirate and was known for being fierce and domineering in England, but it had a bad reputation in the aristocratic circle.
Vincent even reminded that it was rumored that the Slater family had a mercenary group of hundreds of people in Africa.
