Jiang Qin walked out of the court gate and stopped a taxi from the road: "Go to the Municipal Public Security Bureau."

It was about half an hour from the court to the municipal bureau. Jiang Qin called the company on the way and asked: "Did Zhao Xue from the Secretariat come to work today?"

"No, Mr. Jiang, and he didn't ask for leave. The Secretariat called her cell phone today and didn't turn on. Do you have any instructions?"

"It's nothing. Please tell the Ministry of Human Resources that Jin Yan will return to the company tomorrow."

"Really? That's great!"

No matter how Jin Yan is, he is still quite kind to his own people. Shixing Entertainment's treatment is higher than that of other entertainment companies, and the year-end bonus has always been thicker, and there is no such phenomenon in the entertainment industry that often forces female employees to accompany them and use female stars to trade unspoken rules.

The key is that Jin Yan has a strong back and does not need to use female employees as favors, so the company's atmosphere is relatively positive. Many newcomers in the circle start with the Shixing, and later someone changed their signs to other companies, and most of them eventually came back.

Some pure art exhibitions that cannot get investments, and dream-style movies that are destined to not be able to recover the box office are popular, but they are definitely not popular. Those young people who cannot find investors will come to Shixing Entertainment to try their luck. Shixing Entertainment is a money laundering place for jade smuggling huge profits. Jin Yan is willing to invest in these projects that are destined to lose money. More importantly, he never unspoken rules for new actresses, so he has excellent evaluations in the circle.

After Jin Yan was arrested, there were rumors in the company that the board of directors would appoint another important shareholder as the acting president, and that person's reputation in the circle was far less than that in Jin Yan. At that time, people in the company were panic, and several senior executives left, and a large number of middle-level executives were lying on dormant and watching. This situation was not slightly better until Jiang Qin took office.

So when everyone heard that Jin Yan was coming back, they were very happy.

Jiang Qin nodded and said lightly: "I won't go to the company tomorrow. Please ask the secretariat to clean up the desk and give all the documents squeezed during this period to Jin Yan."

"It's Mr. Jiang. Is there anything else to do?"

"That's it."

Jiang Qin put down the phone and saw a few missed calls, all of which were Jin Yan.

He didn't call him back, but sat blankly for a few minutes and handed over to Li Meng.

Li Meng didn't know where he was, and was clamoring around him, and couldn't wait to ask: "Mom! How is the result of the trial? Oh, don't scream..."

The little sheep blew pitifully.

"Where are you?"

"Oh mom, I signed up for a chess game and am waiting to enter the court now... What is the result of the trial? Is Jin Yan going home? What should we eat tonight?"

"Let's talk about it." Jiang Qin casually said, "You must pay attention to safety when you go out. You must go home before 6 o'clock in the evening. No matter where you are, you must let Taxi follow you. Since you want to play chess, play well. If you don't become a national player before the age of 20, you will have no hope for your whole life. Although no one at home expects you to become a national player, you have to do everything you do. Don't play for a few days and then stop playing, do you know?"

Li Meng asked inexplicably: "Jiang Qin, you are so abnormal. Is your aunt coming?"

Jiang Qin: "..."

"My second qualification certificate has been released. You can participate in professional chess competitions in the future. You and Jin Yan are waiting for the parents who are the world champions. Haha! - Oh, Xiaomei, you retract your head...what! Why can't you bring your pet into the field? It's just a weak and harmless little girl, look!"

Jiang Qin: "..."

Jiang Qin's sadness disappeared, and at this moment he just wanted to catch Li Meng and beat him up.

The taxi stopped at the gate of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. Jiang Qin gave it to Zhang Zheng and signaled that he didn't need to look for it.

The driver was very happy and asked enthusiastically: "Come and report the case? Or find someone to do business? It's not easy to take a taxi here. If you're quick, I'll wait for you to come out?"

"No, thank you." Jiang Qin smiled and shook his head, saying, "I won't come out later."

The driver didn't react, and just heard him say no, so he drove away with regret.

There was an office inside the gate of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and two uniformed receptionists were chatting inside. Jiang Qin walked over and leaned against the window, was silent for a few seconds before asking: "Which department should I go to surrender?"

The receptionist was stunned for a moment: "What case should I commit to?"

"An old case more than ten years ago."

Jiang Qin was wearing a black suit, well-made and fit, wearing frameless glasses, and a handsome and gentle face. He looked more like a lawyer or prosecutor, and he didn't even have the word "black" to the criminal.

The receptionist asked: "Who are you in charge? We have regulations that criminals can be punished with ease by surrendering themselves, but it is useless for others to come!"

“…I surrender myself.”

Jiang Qin paused and said, "I killed someone."

The receptionist looked at him in amazement for a few seconds, then suddenly grabbed the phone and started calling. A few minutes later, a policeman hurriedly came down from the upper floor and asked, "Where is the one who surrendered?"

The receptionist pointed his hand.

"Oh, I'll just slap it, I can't tell it. These days..." The policeman looked up and down at Jiang Qin, with an incredible expression on his face: "Let's get up and make a record first. Today you are lucky, and everyone is squatting in the bureau and have nothing to do, otherwise you may not be able to see someone even if you queue for two hours."

Jiang Qin let him look at it without saying a word.

That day, the Criminal Police Detachment of the Municipal Public Security Bureau caused a sensation.

Shixing Entertainment is a well-known taxpayer in H City, and it is on the list of the entire mainland entertainment industry. No one expected that the company's acting president would come in person and surrender a murder case that no one has paid attention to for a decade.

At the beginning, the policeman who took the transcript thought Jiang Qin was joking and warned him: "Don't think it's great to have money. If you pretend to surrender, you will be treated as a distracting official business. Do you want to stay in the detention center for fifteen days?"

Jiang Qin sat quietly on the chair, didn't say anything at first, and suddenly asked, "Can I smoke a cigarette?"

Generally, criminals will ask for a glass of water and a cigarette before they start to explain the problem. This is a subconscious action of excessive psychological pressure. The police looked at each other incrediblely, thinking that this person is still here, really killed someone?

"You...you smoke, please tell me if you have any questions."

Jiang Qin lit a cloud of smoke, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled a slightly white smoke after a while.

"The person I killed was Zhao Chengqiang, one of the earliest shareholders of our company. At that time, another major shareholder was named Jin Yan, who was my legal spouse. Zhao Chengqiang and us have always had business dealings, and they accounted for two percent of the company's shares, but their power and status in the circle were of great significance. There was a relative of the Zhao family who was in a high position in the province at that time."

A young policeman couldn't help asking, "...you have financial disputes? That's why you killed him?"

The captain immediately glared at him.

Jiang Qin didn't care.

"Zhao Chengqiang's investment ratio was very small at that time. We gave him a large amount of shares, which was actually due to his strong backstage in the province. At the beginning, things went smoothly, and our company developed rapidly, and the funds and scale grew rapidly. However, not long after, we found that artists in the company were addicted to drugs one after another."

The room was full of people looking at each other, and the young policeman before shouted: "Every word you say now will become evidence to judge the case, and any false concealment is responsible! You can say it after you think about it!"

"I'm talking about the truth." Jiang Qin said lightly, "Zhao Chengqiang's drug trafficking was a secret that was made public in the circle back then, and everyone knows it."

For a moment, everyone's faces were different, and they could see that they were very surprised.

"He used drugs to control several artists, which not only squeezed money from them, but also forced them to become the offline of their own drug trafficking. The company had just gotten on track, and soon it was disintegrated by Zhao Chengqiang and many projects could not be completed. At that time, we were all very anxious. We talked with Zhao Chengqiang several times and thought about sending those artists who were addicted to drugs to drug rehabilitation centers, but..."

Jiang Qin paused and sighed: "No one is willing to go. Many artists are afraid that their reputation will be damaged and would rather continue taking drugs."

The captain frowned and asked, "You just said that the victim has a high-ranking relative in the province. What is the name of the relative? What is the position?"

"The third in command ten years ago, his surname is Zhao." Jiang Qin said: "You know who he is."

Several criminal police looked at each other, and the captain hesitated: "He has been under double supervision by the Discipline Inspection Commission later..."

"But he was powerful at that time, and no one dared to provoke Zhao Chengqiang. We negotiated several times, and not only did his behavior not restrain himself, but instead became more severe. In the end, he even wanted to annex Shixing Entertainment, threatening Jin Yan to take the initiative to give him all his shares."

Jiang Qin took a sip when the cigarette was lit, and then he never moved it again. It was already burning to the end.

He gently pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray.

"Shixing Entertainment is a world that we started from scratch and worked hard step by step. How could it be given away? Jin Yan flatly refused at the time, and then the relationship between Zhao Chengqiang and us took a sharp turn for the worse and soon deteriorated to an irreversible level."

"At that time, our son Li Meng was only two years old. Because the company had a lot of business and had no time to take care of him, he was temporarily sent to the nursery. There was a driver named Zhang Le in the company who would pick up the child home every afternoon. I don't know why Zhao Chengqiang found out about this, so he bribed the driver, stole the child, and called me again and said that if we didn't sign a contract to transfer the company's shares within a limited time, we would never see the child again."

"I didn't dare to call the police at that time. Zhao Chengqiang was very powerful in the circle... and it was too late to call the police. The child was only two years old. Zhao Chengqiang wanted to kill him and just moved his fingers!"

Jiang Qin went to touch the cigarette box again, reached out to stop halfway, picked up the cup and drank water.

"At that time, I... was really crazy, so I lied to him and said that the contract had been signed. I would give him the contract and hand over the contract with the child in one hand."

"Are you ready to kill him?" asked the captain of the detachment.

"No, I just want to see the opportunity to regain the child, and there were also loopholes on the contract... But Zhao Chengqiang was very confident. At that time, the gap between us and him was too big. He probably felt that I didn't dare to do anything, so he asked me to go to Shixing Entertainment to find him."

"Did you have a dispute while handing over the hostages?"

Jiang Qin nodded: "Yes, I only realized after I went over that he didn't want to return the child at all. He wanted to keep the hostages and squeeze us to do more for him... and even sell drugs for him."

Several detectives discussed in a low voice for a while, and the person who took the transcript raised his head and asked, "—How did you kill him?"

Jiang Qin said silently.

This is actually very normal. When asked about key questions such as the murder process, many suspects subconsciously refused to answer.

After all, this is not a good memory. There are many cases of impulsive murder. The criminals wish that the murder process is just a nightmare and are not willing to recall it at all. Sometimes even if it is forced to retell it, there are many details and contradictions. It is the human avoidance instinct that affects memory.

"We... started fighting." Jiang Qin whispered, "I can't remember the details clearly, I only remember that I took something and smashed it... Later I found out that it was a piece of jade paperweight."

The police were doing the record, and the office was silent.

"He had blood on his face and soon lost his anger... I was very panicked at that time, but I didn't dare to surrender. Because the Zhao family was very powerful, no matter what he did, the situation was always unfavorable to me."

Jiang Qin closed his eyes and his face was very pale.

The captain of the detachment asked in a low voice: "How to deal with the body?"

“…It’s sinking into the river.”

"Then no one from the Zhao family came to ask you? The victim is powerful, and the impact after disappearance must be very great, right?"

"No," Jiang Qin shook his head and said, "I think the kidnapping of his child must be very secretive. He will not tell others about the news of calling me to Shixing Entertainment. There was no third party at the scene when the incident happened. After he disappeared, the Zhao family reported the case, but no one suspected me."

The detachment captain winked at the young criminal policeman: "Go to the archives room to see if the file of Zhao Chengqiang's disappearance case was still there."

The detective responded and went out. The captain of the detachment looked up and down at Jiang Qin, frowned for a while, and asked, "So you completed all the passages from the killing knife and throwing the body alone?"

"……yes."

"Jin Yan, who has a direct conflict of interest with the victim——"
