Chapter 160 - 160 Opponent
160 Opponent
Although Feng Jing understood these rules, adhering to these redtape may cause them to lose precious time critical for solving cases.
“Then we…” Yin Tao didn’t know what Feng Jing was going to do. She had always seen Feng Jing as a model detective who followed the rules strictly.
“Find someone who can help us track the location without going through the approval procedure.”
Yin Tao was a little curious about the person Feng Jing was talking about. However, seeing that Feng Jing had no intention of explaining in detail, Yin Tao didn’t probe further.
“Brother Feng, I heard from Bai Luo that your application to investigate Meng Heng was rejected by your superiors?”
“I could get a search warrant, but I’m worried that it will alert the enemy. With Meng Heng’s cautious and shrewd personality, he won’t leave the evidence in the open. We won’t make any progress if we aren’t able to get solid evidence on the search.”
Feng Jing had encountered many different types of criminals. If Meng Heng was really the murderer, he must have one of the best criminal minds that Feng Jing had ever seen.
“Brother Feng, didn’t you say that you had something to ask me at the police station?” Yin Tao recalled what Feng Jing had said to her before she left the police station and took the initiative to ask.
“Didn’t you tell me that Zhang Wei was a little too nervous when he saw that Zhang Rui wasn’t home? He just told me the reason was because he felt that his business rivals might be out to get him.”
“Zhang Wei thinks that his competitor kidnapped his daughter?” This was the first time Yin Tao had encountered such a thing. Zhang Wei seemed to have a somewhat domineering personality, so it wasn’t surprising for him to offend someone.
“It should be murder. Zhang Wei has received many threatening letters before. Moreover, he encountered a car accident not long ago and almost got killed.”
Yin Tao’s eyes widened in surprise. She never thought that business rivals would resort to such extreme measures.
“Brother Feng, do you think it might be Zhang Wei’s competitor?”
“It’s not completely impossible, but I suspect that it’s Meng Heng. If we look at the timline, Zhang Rui’s disappearance is about the same as the previous missing persons case. Moreover, Zhang Rui is also someone Xue Na and Meng Heng knew. Her relationship with Xue Na doesn’t seem to be very good.”
Feng Jing thought for a moment and continued to ask Yin Tao, “Xiaoyin, do you know Wan Cheng Corporation?”
Of course Yin Tao knew about Wan Cheng Corporation. As the only opponent of the male lead, Xi Feng, in the original novel, it had caused many issues for the male lead.
“Wan Zhe’s family business? I seem to have heard my brother mention it before. Our family seemed to have worked with them a few times before.”
“Zhang Wei’s competitor is Wan Sheng Corporation.”
When Yin Tao heard this, she suddenly recalled the conversation she had with Zhang Rui. “Brother Feng, I heard Zhang Rui mention that Wan Zhe seems to be her ex-boyfriend.”
“What?” Feng Jing tightened his grip on the steering wheel. He didn’t expect Zhang Rui to be related to Wan Zhe.
“It seems that Wan Zhe is also a suspect. As an ex-boyfriend, it is possible for him to still meet Zhang Rui. It won’t be hard for him to kidnap Zhang Rui if he wanted to.”
Feng Jing agreed with what Yin Tao said. However, tracking the location of Zhang Rui’s phone seemed to be the most important thing right now.
Feng Jing drove the car to a private villa and turned up the temperature of the air conditioner in the car. Then, he instructed Yin Tao, “Wait for me in the car for a while. If you’re tired, sleep for a while. I’m going to see a friend. It should be some time before I come back.”
Yin Tao knew that there must be a reason why Feng Jing didn’t bring her along. It seemed like his friend’s identity couldn’t be casually revealed.
Yin Tao obediently sat in the car. She saw Feng Jing take out his phone, dialed a number and then walked into the villa.
It wasn’t until Feng Jing’s backview had completely disappeared inside the villa that Yin Tao slowly turned around and analyzed Feng Jing’s words.
“Zhang Rui and Wan Zhe were in a relationship, but it seems like no one knew this, and Zhang Wei probably didn’t know either,” Yin Tao muttered softly as she did an online search on Wan Cheng Corporation using her cell phone. “Wan Cheng Corporation is in so many industries…”
Yin Tao read the basic information of Wan Cheng Corporation and realized that besides real estate, this corporation was also into rubber, oil, international trade, and business culture.
“If the Wan family is so powerful, how terrifying will the future Xi Feng and the current Feng family be?”
Yin Tao had heard her brother, Yin Hao, mention that Feng Jing’s family was the most powerful family in the capital. It was founded by Feng Jing’s grandfather, Old Master Feng.
