"Beep beep beep beep~"

He pressed a few buttons.

Not long after.

The phone connected the number.

"Boss Liu, the body has been stolen, Sun Jin from 401 has been transported to the place where Jin Bo was killed last time, about the final payment..."

The tall one spoke ingratiatingly.

Not long after.

Noises came from the other end of the phone.

"The final payment will be transferred to your account in a few days, once it's confirmed there's no problem."

"Lay low for the next few days."

With that, the call was disconnected.

The tall one and the short one exchanged glances, hearing only the dial tone of the ended call.

"Beep beep beep~"

...

"Beep beep beep~!"

Jinyang Steel Plant.

In a brightly lit office.

Liu Kun turned his head to look at Luo Jun beside him. He hung up the call, put the phone into his pants pocket, and nodded.

"Boss, it's all handled!"

The matter was handled.

It means Sun Jin's body has already been destroyed!

As for what good destroying the body does...

"The police's clues surrounding Sun Jin will be useless... heh, serves them right."

Liu Kun's face revealed a trace of disdain.

Destroying Sun Jin's body is crucial; he can... delay the case!

"For the past month, all police clues related to environmental pollution have been revolving around Sun Jin."

"But the problem is, they've always publicly claimed there was never an autopsy on the body."

Liu Kun explained, even if they went to trial now, it would be advantageous for him.

Ma Hui and Zhao Qian are currently caught in a conflict between the left brain and right brain.

The other side has an autopsy report.

But claiming there was no autopsy, now that the body is missing, where did the autopsy report come from?

If the autopsy is real, it means the police's past announcements have been deceitful.

Sun Zhongmin will certainly hold them accountable!

If the autopsy isn't real... then the clues they have will require a day or two to go back and inspect the remaining bodies in Huangyan Village.

As for why they need to buy time...

"This case, Sunzhou can't stall for long."

Liu Kun's eyes lit up.

Luo Jun nodded in agreement.

The extreme pollution, the one who most wants to expose the case turns out to be the culprit!

First, one must understand one logic.

That is, the environmental pollution doesn't affect Luo Jun much, at most a bit of compensation!

But the steel case could cost Luo Jun his life!

Right now, the case is being suppressed, with no external oversight, Sunzhou has plenty of time for an internal investigation of the steel...

But once the case is exposed?

At worst, a provincial oversight team will be dispatched!

"Under the pressure of public opinion and the oversight team, Sunzhou will have to stop the steel investigation and be forced to focus all resources on investigating environmental pollution."

"Afterward..."

Liu Kun slowly unveiled the subsequent plan.

What will happen afterward?

Sunzhou will bring in a new group of people.

This group won't focus on Zhang Fei, Ma Hui, and others; they might not even know about the steel case!

"As long as we drag out the case until the moment it's exposed, this crisis will be thoroughly resolved for us!"

Liu Kun stated.

Luo Jun nodded, not refuting.

They can drag it out until the case is exposed, but they cannot expose it themselves.

Otherwise... the other factories will surely be displeased, and if it leads to internal conflict, he will only die faster!

After all, in the steel case, some suspicion always lingers among these people...

"By the way."

Liu Kun suddenly remembered something and looked at Luo Jun again.

"Boss, what about that lawyer..."

As he spoke, a hint of malice flashed in his eyes.

The body has been taken care of; now it's time to settle scores with Xu Liang!

However...

"He's useful."

"Let him handle the pollution lawsuit for Sun Zhongmin, and delay the case a bit."

Luo Jun shook his head, indicating he had a plan.

"A lawsuit!?"

Liu Kun was surprised, "But over there, didn't Zhang Fei hold the case back to buy time to investigate the steel... if I'm not mistaken, the court over there's been giving him a hard time once they realized, right?"

It was indeed as he said.

Yesterday afternoon, Xu Liang was indeed given a hard time.

But....

"Earlier, Ma Hui called me, his words full of threats, forbidding any action against that young lawyer."

"I don't know what background this person has to warrant Ma Hui's protection, but... his words also implied another thing, which is..."

"The pollution case has been noticed from above, Zhang Fei and the others ultimately failed!"

Luo Jun smiled.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

A month and a half...

A month and a half!

The other side was desperately suppressing the case, trying to buy time to investigate the steel... But unfortunately, in the end, they didn't get to the bottom of it, and the case couldn't be suppressed.

"So."

Luo Jun paused, collected his thoughts, and said:

"That lawyer is useful."

"Let him handle the pollution case in court. The faster the trial goes, the quicker Sunzhou can reshuffle after the case ends."

Liu Kun understood.

As for whether Zhang Fei can buy some time to explain the steel case when the supervisory team arrives...

Impossible.

Public opinion cannot be violated!

So many people have died.

The residents of Sunzhou are bound to explode!!!

And, given the intangible steel case and the extremely serious environmental pollution before them, the supervisory team would only demand Sunzhou make improvements focusing on the environment first!

And as long as the pollution case is over, with the rise and fall, new replacing old...

Who would still remember the steel case?

So...

"Ignore him, the faster he fights, the more advantageous it is for us!"

Luo Jun spoke, pausing for a moment as he squinted his eyes, revealing a hint of ferocity.

"Unless... he wants to investigate Jin Bo!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Kun nodded.

"Okay!"

Since the case can't be suppressed, and provincial people are coming, then...

"I'll go to the trial." Liu Kun said.

Getting through this crisis as soon as possible is what matters!

Meanwhile.

...

"Hey, Brother Liang, why did you get in here!?"

"I was wondering why I couldn't reach you by phone this afternoon, turns out you got into the police station!"

"By the way, my sister called you, do you want to return the call?"

"..."

Three in the morning.

Sunzhou outskirts, in front of a dilapidated temple on a barren mountain.

In the pitch-dark forest, Wang Chao kept talking, his voice echoing in the night.

"Already returned the call."

Xu Liang responded casually from behind.

After leaving the police station and calling Wang Chao to pick him up, he had already reported safety to everyone in Upper City.

At the moment, there's no need to worry that Upper City will continue to invest resources in him, owing favors.

The case is what's most important!

After walking for a long time.

Xu Liang suddenly asked:

"Where did you find the corpse?"

He looked around and suddenly frowned and asked.

Wang Chao had perfectly completed his task, experiencing a thrill of body snatching!

Now Sun Jin's body has been sent to the Punk Institution.

The other party didn't ask much this time, and with Sun Zhongmin intentionally withholding, the autopsy report was smoothly being done.

The police haven't found out about it yet, probably in the morning the other side will realize the body has been stolen by Luo Jun!

"I remember it was just up ahead."

Wang Chao scratched his head.

He looked around and vaguely saw a blurry shadow on the mountain top, and his eyes lit up.

"Found it!"

Wang Chao said excitedly and quickly stepped forward.

As he walked forward.....

A dilapidated temple appeared in front of his eyes!

This temple was precisely where Shorty and the others drove to, he brought Xu Liang back here.

Xu Liang stepped forward, looking at the scene in front of him thoughtfully.

"A clear destination, meaning the killer is familiar with this place, likely a fixed crime venue..."

He confirmed this after just a glance.

Most criminals only choose a 'safe' place for their criminal activities.

Like dismemberment only happens in one place, or bodies are only dumped at one location.

The reason is not habit, but 'safety'!

So...

"If the reason for choosing this place to deal with Sun Jin's body is because it feels safe, there must be other cases supporting the other's sense of 'safety'."

"In recent years, at Jinyang Steel Plant only Jin Bo died, then...."

Xu Liang squinted his eyes, reached for his waist.

Then stepped forward, walked into this dilapidated temple.

He pulled something out from his waist, it was hidden in the dark making it hard for Wang Chao to see.

Wang Chao just felt it was a spraying device, as the other pressed it.....

"Hiss!"

The sound of spraying echoed.

Moments later...

On the ground and wall, patches of blue fluorescence slowly appeared!

This is...

"Luminol!?"
