Original sin

After Sister Lan sent Tao Min home, she made a record with the little policewoman and left.

Liu Bai took Tao Min's hand and looked it over carefully: "Are you okay?" Seeing him worried about her, Tao Min felt warm in her heart, she smiled and shook her head: "I'm fine."

Liu Bai asked her to sit down, made her a cup of hot coffee, and then asked again: "What's going on?"

Tao Min said that she didn't know that the other party just took the two ledgers from her car. She thought about it carefully, and it seemed that the other party didn't really want to kill her, but wanted to take the two ledgers.

"How could this happen?" Liu Bai felt a little unbelievable, he also knew that the two ledgers were used for reconciliation, and Tao Min wanted to settle the bill with Wang Chaoyi after clarifying the accounts.

Tao Min drank his coffee, thought for a while and said, "Could it be that the teacher asked people to do it?" Liu Bai shook his head straight, he said that Wang Chaoyi would not do such a thing, he knew his teacher, since the teacher said If he would pay the fee, he would definitely not use such a bad method.

Besides, this little money is nothing to the teacher at all.

Tao Min thinks about it too. Originally, Wang Chaoyi didn't have to bear the cost, and she didn't really intend to let Wang Chaoyi bear it. Although she would always complain, she also knew in her heart that if this studio Without Wang Chaoyi's help, it would not be possible to get to where he is today. It is also because of Wang Chaoyi that Liu Bai can have a place to display his ambitions.

If it's not Wang Chaoyi, then who is it?

Why did the other party have to take those two ledgers? Could there be something shady in those two ledgers?

If you think about it carefully, it is really likely to be the case.

Because when she reconciled the accounts, she found a strange thing, that is, all the expenses of this department, Xie Changqing, did not really enter them into the computer according to the accounting system, and used the most primitive manual accounting.

In other words, Xie Changqing himself did not really regard this department as a part of the studio, because only in this way can the most complete and independent accounting records of the so-called information department be preserved.

Perhaps this is the problem, there must be something tricky hidden in these two ledgers.

Liu Bai heard Tao Min express these doubts, and he said: "Oh, it's all my fault. I have always been indifferent to those things other than creation. If I knew it, I would have learned more about these situations."

Tao Min rolled his eyes at him: "You are concerned about these things, but do you understand?"

Liu Bai was stunned, Tao Min's words were correct, besides creating, he was really not good at other matters.

Liu Bai said: "Then why didn't you tell the police about this?" He was referring to the loss of the ledger.

Tao Min pursed her lips: "Because I'm not sure if this matter has anything to do with you, I'm afraid that telling the police will be bad for you."

Liu Bai was a little confused: "What does it have to do with me?"

Liu Bai really didn't understand why Tao Min thought so.

Tao Min said: "You have to remember that the studio is not owned by Xie Changqing alone, you are one of the partners, and now that Xie Changqing is dead, if there are really shady things in these two books, then there are only two possibilities, One is that Xie Changqing has tampered with this ledger, and the so-called information department may have done something shady, and the other is that although Xie Changqing has not tampered with, he has already discovered or even known the secret of the information department. He listed the finances of this department separately, and used the most primitive manual bookkeeping, the purpose is to facilitate destruction. I checked, and all the expenses reflected in the studio accounts of this department were deducted by some non-existent items. "

Liu Bai asked, "What do you mean?"

Tao Min said: "This department shared nearly 200 million yuan in the studio, and the 200 million yuan is reflected in the studio's books, which are advertising fees, review fees, execution fees, etc., and have nothing to do with the studio at all. .Actually, if I hadn’t been curious about this department at the beginning and asked Accountant Xia Wang, I would not have thought that Xie Changqing would play like this.”

Tao Min added another sentence: "That is to say, except for the salary of the employees in this department that is reflected in the studio's books every month, other expenses in this department have been made into fake accounts. Lao Liu, you don't think that Are you curious? Those two ledgers wrote how the 200 million was spent, but I really didn’t understand a large part of it, so I was going to bring the ledger back and study it carefully. I didn’t expect such a thing to happen. matter."

Liu Bai stopped talking, and there was a faint worry in his heart, that is, if it was true as Tao Min speculated, these two ledgers contained dark secrets, then Tao Min was the one who read the ledgers, would she not Would be really dangerous.

In addition, what kind of secrets does this department hide? According to Wang Chaoyi, the personnel in this department actually do some market research for him. Could it be that his teacher is using them to do something bad?Or maybe after these people were placed in the studio, the person who really mastered them was no longer Wang Chaoyi, but Xie Changqing. What they did was what Xie Changqing asked them to do!

Liu Bai suddenly felt that this world was very complicated. He had always thought that he knew enough about his teacher and his partner, but now he realized that he didn't know who they were.

"Then what should we do next?" Liu Bai asked softly, no matter what, his only thought was that this matter should not cause any harm to Tao Min.

Tao Min shook her head, she didn't know what to do now, when the ledger was lost, all the secrets disappeared with it.Of course, she could start an investigation from a few people in that department, but she didn't dare to do so. The methods shown by the other party today are simply something she, a small person, can handle.

She also didn't want anything to happen to Liu Bai.

Tao Min said softly, "Old Liu, I have an idea."

Liu Bai nodded and said, "Just say what you think, do you still need to be so cautious between us?"

Tao Min said: "Let's quit the studio and transfer the studio to the teacher. Don't you want to create with peace of mind? It will be simpler to set up a creative studio by yourself."

Liu Bai thinks about it. Right now, this studio doesn't mean much to him at all, and he is also a person who is not good at management. He said that he should communicate with the teacher.

Sure enough, he called Wang Chaoyi, and Wang Chaoyi said that he had heard about Tao Min, so he invited Liu Bai and his wife to his home for a light meal.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Bai said, "Shall we go or not?"

"Go, go and listen to what he has to say." Tao Min always felt that Liu Bai's teacher was difficult for her to understand. After getting in touch with him, he was indeed a very kind and reasonable person, without losing his scholarly demeanor, but All these weird things that happened seemed to be inextricably linked with him.

Liu Bai was a little worried: "I think it's better for us to go out less now."

Tao Min smiled wryly: "We can't hide in the house for a lifetime, don't worry, nothing will happen."

She knew very well in her heart that the police had been watching her all the time. If that was the case, as long as they went out, they would be fine. What's so scary about having the police as bodyguards?

At this moment, in the criminal police team of Lincheng City Bureau, Fu Hongcong was in his office, frowning.

He felt a little confused about Tao Min's attack, it was too sudden, and there was no sign at all.

Huang Meng who was sitting across from him handed him a cigarette, and he looked up at Huang Meng: "Mengzi, what do you think of this matter?"

Huang Meng said: "Sister Lan said that the other party seemed to be aiming at Tao Min's life, but I don't think so."

"Oh, then what do you think the other party's purpose is?"

Huang Meng said: "It should be intimidation. Isn't Tao Min handling the affairs of the studio all this time? I wonder if she discovered something, so someone used this method to shut her up. If so If so, then what she and Sister Lan said must have been concealed."

"Hey, to be honest, I was really overwhelmed by this case, and now you have been transferred to the special case team of Shenyang University. If you don't close this case quickly, you won't be able to leave!"

Huang Meng coughed lightly: "Captain Fu, I want to investigate Wang Chaoyi."

Fu Hong's eyes widened: "What? You want to check Professor Wang?"

Huang Meng nodded: "There are two reasons, the first is that there are still many doubts about the cause of his wife's death, and the second I think Tao Min's matter should be related to the so-called information department he asked Xie Changqing to install. "

"Why do you say that Tao Min's matter is related to the Ministry of Information? Her transcript didn't mention the matter of the Ministry of Information, not even a single word!"

Huang Meng sneered: "It's because it didn't mention a single word that makes people feel suspicious. Also, from the moment I knew the existence of this Ministry of Information, I was very curious about what kind of great work Wang Chaoyi wrote. Seven or eight people have conducted market surveys for the past two years. What are the specific contents of their market surveys and what kind of results have they achieved? Is the work of our professor Wang completed? I think it is necessary to find out everything Understood."

Fu Hong nodded slightly. He felt that there was some reason for Huang Meng's suspicion.

It's just that Wang Chaoyi's situation is very special, if not done well, the entire police station will be included.

He thought for a while and said, "Then how are you going to check? It's definitely not possible to check directly."

Huang Meng said: "I know, if you go directly to check, even Bureau Tan may not be able to handle it. Our Professor Wang has a lot of influence in Qianzhou Province and even the whole country, and he cooperates with the province, the province, and the whole country." Many leaders in the city have close relationships. I have thought about all of these, so I plan to start the investigation from the periphery with the case of his wife and his students. Team Fu, I will be cautious about this matter, and I will not let you Get into trouble with the bureau."

Only then did Fu Hong feel relieved. After all, Huang Meng was no longer a stunned young man, and he should do things properly.

But he said again: "This is just your suspicion. Have you ever thought about it? Perhaps Tao Min's matter is only related to the deaths of Xie Changqing and Liang Lan. For example, she has discovered some secrets about the deaths of Xie Changqing and Liang Lan."

Huang Meng said: "It's also possible, but didn't we watch the road surveillance footage of Tao Min's accident before? At that time, there were two motorcyclists, one smashed her left window and the other smashed her right window , I noticed that the person on the left didn't shoot her in time after smashing the car window. If the driver on the left really wanted to attack Tao Min with the baseball bat in his hand at that time, it shouldn't be difficult, but he didn't do that, he just did it. made a few fake moves to scare her."

Fu Hong also saw this scene.

Huang Meng said: "If I really want Tao Min's life, that one motorcyclist is enough, but why send the second one? And the second person smashed the window on her right side, could it be just to scare her?" Is she? I noticed a small movement of the motorcyclist on the right. He was very close to the car, which was very unsafe for him. Although the picture is blurred and the specific situation cannot be seen clearly, you guess it will happen. One possibility, is this kid trying to take something from the car? I sent back the picture twice, and judging from his actions, I think there is such a possibility. But she didn’t mention it in Tao Min’s notes. What was lost, Sister Lan asked this question specifically, but she insisted that nothing was lost. She said that the other party wanted her own life, do you think she would like to hide something?"

Huang Meng's words made Fu Hong also fall into deep thought. He didn't expect Huang Meng to read so carefully and think so much.

He asked: "Then do you think the other party wants her life or the things in the car?"

"I think the other party didn't want her life at all, the motorcyclist on the left was scaring her and distracting her, while the motorcyclist on the right took the opportunity to take the things on the car. "

Fu Hong sighed lightly: "It's complicated again, this case is complicated again."

Huang Meng didn't speak any more, he was waiting for Fu Hong's opinion, Fu Hong finally made up his mind: "Okay, check according to your thinking, but you must communicate with me in advance if anything about Wang Chaoyi is involved. If I can’t decide, I will report to the bureau leader, remember, don’t be impulsive, don’t be impulsive. In addition, you must pay attention to your own safety, don’t play personal heroism, and put yourself in danger, understand?”

Huang Meng smiled: "Understood, Captain Fu."

Fu Hong waved his hand, Huang Meng left his office, and he immediately called Shen Shen.

Originally, he didn't want to disturb Shen Shen, and the special case team had a lot of things to do, but he had to be cautious when it came to Wang Chaoyi.

Shen Chen heard him finish, and said slowly: "That's it, let Huang Meng check it out, I thought the so-called information department was tricky. If there is any problem, let's communicate in time, old Fu, we must Guarantee Huang Meng's safety!"
