Chapter 733 - 647: The Vanished Bodies, Awakening
Is this accident a blessing or a curse for her?
Lu Chenjia had already lowered his head, staring fixedly at the tea leaves floating in his teacup. His face was expressionless, like a bottomless ancient well, no one could tell what he was thinking.
Wang Xinfa’s expression was uncertain, after a long while, he asked Hou Wendong:
"What do you think?"
Hou Wendong had obviously thought it through before reporting. He cautiously began:
"Assuming the premise that the Madam and the bodyguard are not lying, then, under the streetlight at that time, there should indeed be two corpses: one headless corpse and one night watcher.
The headless corpse was definitely dead, but the night watcher..."
Hou Wendong repeated the bodyguards’ description of the night watcher’s fall and continued:
"The bodyguards were inside the villa at that time, looking through the crack of the door, far away, in dim light, and given the urgent situation, they only saw him fall and instinctively assumed he was dead.
But actually, that night watcher might not have truly died at that time!"
Hou Wendong had been in contact with Li Shang for a while, and he had also learned some deductive skills:
"After the bodyguards closed the door, the night watcher might have come back to life, then carried away the corpse beside him and left."
Upon hearing this, Wang Xinfa turned his gaze to Li Hanyu, who nodded in agreement as if awakening from a dream:
"Yes, yes, Secretary Hou’s analysis is very reasonable, it should... it should be exactly like this!
It’s all my fault! It’s all my fault. I was too scared, too cautious, I didn’t let the bodyguards rush out immediately to check and confirm, then closed the door, so I might have missed this scene..."
Wang Xinfa waved his hand, interrupting Li Hanyu’s self-blame, pursuing this now was meaningless.
If he were there at that time, seeing a thug facing the night watcher, rushing into the special envoy’s villa, massacring upon exit, then calling his accomplice, killing the night watcher and escaping.
He also had to be cautious, very cautious.
Yes, in Li Hanyu’s perspective at that time, they wouldn’t think the intense fighting sounds coming from the special envoy’s villa were made by thugs rushing in by mistake.
They would only think the thugs were targeting the special envoy’s villa.
Besides the night watcher, everything seen and unseen, clearly and unclearly, were perceived as one group by them.
All mad, extremely vicious.
(ps: The view through the door crack was limited, they couldn’t see the villa next door.
Thus, the bodyguards inside the door faced only a soundless "blank" for a long time, but this didn’t prevent them from imagining the intense battle outside based on the sounds.)
As for whether the thugs had a terrifying background, that was unclear.
Anyway, they dared to kill the night watcher and rushed into the special envoy’s villa, massacring all the maids inside completely, think for yourself.
In such a situation, would you rush out to act heroically?
Rescuing or not rescuing could easily bring trouble upon oneself.
Though the current situation might not necessarily be any better.
After finishing his speculation, Hou Wendong cautiously added another sentence, leaving himself room to maneuver:
"Member of Parliament, this is just my personal speculation, based on limited information, there is currently no direct evidence to support this speculation, so it may not be correct."
He paused slightly, proposing another possibility, though it sounded even more far-fetched:
"There is also another possibility, that someone else stealthily stole the two corpses before the Patrol Office arrived, without anyone noticing."
Wang Xinfa took a sip of his tea. Despite Hou Wendong’s additional possibilities, he was about seventy to eighty percent convinced of the speculation that "the night watcher was not dead and dragged away the corpse."
This seemed to be the most logical and the explanation that best fit the current situation.
However, this answer itself brought about more inexplicable questions.
Who was that night watcher? Why did he survive? Why did he take the headless corpse, and who was the one without a head?
It was really hard to figure out, such things should be left to the detective to handle after all.
Wang Xinfa put down his teacup, frowned and looked at Hou Wendong:
"You head out immediately, personally keep an eye on the Patrol Office, deploy all technological means and personnel, and make every effort to search for the special envoy’s whereabouts.
And Li Shang, as soon as there is any progress, no matter how big or small, no matter the time, report directly to me immediately, understand?"
Hou Wendong immediately straightened his posture, solemnly replied:
"Yes! Member of Parliament! I’ll get on it right away!"
Then, he turned to Li Hanyu, respectfully asking:
"Madam, if there are no urgent matters on your side, could I have Feng Muxian assist me with some tasks?"
Li Hanyu certainly couldn’t refuse Hou Wendong’s reasonable request here, she smiled and agreed:
"Alright, Secretary Hou, feel free to arrange as you see fit."
At this moment, hurried footsteps suddenly came from the door.
A doctor from the medical team, dressed in a white coat, rushed in frantically, his forehead covered in fine beads of sweat, his glasses crookedly perched on his nose.
Hou Wendong’s face darkened, he immediately reprimanded sternly:
"What are you doing? Have you no manners? Barging in like this?"
Wang Xinfa glanced at the doctor with a slightly sullen face, Lu Chenjia half-turned his body.
Li Hanyu’s heart skipped a beat, but her face remained blank, only her brow unconsciously furrowed.
The doctor, intimidated by Hou Wendong’s harsh words and Wang Xinfa’s cold gaze, quivered all over, his face pale, lips trembling, stuttering:
"Madam, Qian Huan, he, he..."
"He he he" for a long time, as if the news was too shocking, stuck in his throat, unable to come out smoothly.
Li Hanyu suddenly stood up, her voice suddenly heightened, with an unnatural sharpness that starkly contrasted her usual grace and composure:
"What happened to Qian Huan, speak up quickly?!"
The doctor finally took a deep breath, using all his strength, almost shouting out:
"A miracle! Madam! It’s a miracle! Qian Huan... he’s woken up!!!"
Li Hanyu seemed unable to believe her ears, staring in a daze for two seconds.
In the next second, she couldn’t care less, pushing aside the doctor in her way with such force that the unexpectedly off-balance doctor staggered and nearly fell.
Li Hanyu didn’t look back, stomping in high heels as she dashed downstairs.
Lu Chenjia’s expression froze, he had thought Qian Huan was finally going to succumb and die, and had begun calculating the chain reaction that Qian Huan’s death might bring.
Who would have thought—he actually woke up?!
No other time to awaken, but at this very moment, tonight, right now?
The special envoy missing outside, nowhere dead or alive, yet inside, Qian Huan chose this critical moment to wake up?
His mind raced:
Qian Huan and the special envoy... theoretically unrelated, they shouldn’t have any direct connection..... but, this timing is really something.
The special envoy’s disappearance, Li Shang’s loss of contact, the night watcher corpse’s disappearance, Qian Huan’s awakening... these things might be related, might be related, anyway, they’ve all come together.
Next, to try to untangle and handle each of these matters properly, tsk tsk tsk, it’s going to be tough.
Lu Chenjia suddenly turned to look at Wang Xinfa, the latter still sat on the sofa, looking back expressionlessly.
That face was calm and unmoved, even seeming a bit wooden.
But Lu Chenjia knew, Mr. Wang’s inner emotions at this moment were certainly as unsettled as his own.
No, Mr. Wang must be even more unsettled because, in name, Qian Huan is still Mr. Wang’s "dear son".
Lu Chenjia, deep down, didn’t wish for Qian Huan to wake up either; it threw off his original plans a bit, but looking at Wang Xinfa’s rigid expression, he was somehow not as irritated.
He grinned, congratulating Wang Xinfa:
"Mr. Wang, congratulations, your son has woken up. Let’s go, let’s go see your son together."
Wang Xinfa’s movements were slightly stiff as he got up, his smile seemed forced, saying:
"Thank you, this is the rare good news tonight, let’s go, let’s see this... lucky son of mine."
