Chapter 90 A Thick Fog
This memory is fragmented; in it, Wilson seems to be eavesdropping on something while crouching against a wooden wall.
A porcelain vase stands to one side in the view.
"ダメもの!" (Waste!)
A Japanese curse made Wilson move slightly, and his eyes widened as Shen Yi felt his field of vision increase.
Wilson then seemed to sense something and quickly turned and left.
The memory ends.
Looking at his memories, Shen Yi was surprised to find that Wilson actually had connections with the Japanese.
Could Wilson's death have also been caused by that Japanese man?
Moreover, Wilson was eavesdropping at the time, and his reaction was one of shock, indicating that he could hardly believe that he had heard a sentence in Japanese.
Park Jung-min is now undoubtedly the prime suspect.
First of all, he met Wilson as a Korean, so if he suddenly spoke a word of Japanese, it would have shocked Wilson.
Secondly, Park Jung-min was present on the day Wilson was murdered, and he left the club immediately afterward.
Shen Yi sorted through the entire case in his mind and formed some deductions.
Wilson came to Nanjing to do business, but he didn't actually have much money, and the police didn't find a large amount of cash in his room.
He met Park Jung-min, and during one of his visits to the Da Mao Trading Company, he overheard Park Jung-min say a sentence in Japanese, which made him suspicious of the man's identity.
He then used this to blackmail Park Jung-min, threatening to reveal that Park was Japanese if he didn't pay him.
In the end, to prevent his identity from being exposed, Park Jung-min murdered Wilson, and in a way that was a form of revenge.
In order to draw the police's attention to the murder for money, he took all of Wilson's valuables and made sure they weren't hidden inside the club.
After all, if the police find those things, this case cannot be classified as a murder for money.
He originally thought that Wilson's murder would not be discovered so soon, but the result was beyond his expectations. Fortunately, Wilson died without revealing anything useful.
He then staged a scene to take Wilson to the hospital, thus evading the search.
Of course, the above is just Shen Yi's speculation, and it is not certain whether Park Jung-min said that Japanese phrase.
Furthermore, if Park Jung-min was a Japanese spy, then his methods were rather unprofessional.
Even if you didn't kill the person out of spite, you still couldn't leave the scene without checking if they were truly dead.
However, this case is indeed related to the Japanese, and Park Jung-min is the prime suspect, so he has to make contact with him.
At this moment, Tian Dafu, who was standing to the side, watched Shen Yi deep in thought and dared not make a sound.
"On the day of his death, did you really let him take Wilson to the hospital because you were moved by Park Jung-min's actions?" Shen Yi asked.
"ah--?"
"Um?"
Shen Yi glanced at Tian Dafu, which made Tian Dafu feel a bit pressured, and he unconsciously swallowed.
"Well—not entirely. We only let him go because we verified that Park Jung-min had an alibi and didn't have the means to commit the crime," Jeon Dae-boo said.
"Moreover, he is a foreigner. The Da Mao Trading Company has been operating in Nanjing for a long time and has some connections."
"Did you search him at the time?" Shen Yi asked.
Tian Dafu thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No—no."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yi understood. There was a high possibility that Park Jung-min was the murderer. Wilson was just a foreigner with no background, and even if Park Jung-min was a suspect, he could be easily cleared of suspicion.
The police have now closed the case, which shows that Park Jung-min played a role in it.
"Park Joong-min is undoubtedly the prime suspect in this case, so why was it closed so hastily?"
Upon hearing this, Tian Dafu was at a loss for words and stammered for a long time before being unable to speak.
Seeing this, Shen Yi knew there was more to the story, so he said, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else."
"Furthermore, I suspect this case is related to Japanese spies. If it turns out to be true, and you knowingly failed to report it, you should know the consequences."
Tian Dafu quickly said, "Sir, I also suspect that Park Jung-min has some problems, but Deputy Director Ding said that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is pressing for an investigation, so this case should be closed and I should stop investigating."
Shen Yi nodded upon hearing this. No wonder the deputy director's expression was somewhat strange when he learned that he was there to investigate Wilson's case.
It's now basically confirmed that Park Jung-min is the murderer, but we don't know if he's a Japanese spy, just like we suspected.
If so, is Deputy Director Ding Yutao his mole? Or is he working for him?
Shen Yi looked at Tian Dafu and said leisurely, "Do you want a promotion?"
"Huh—?" Tian Dafu didn't react for a moment.
"Yes, I dream about it!"
"Be my informant and keep an eye on Ding Yutao. Contact me immediately if he does anything unusual. I guarantee you'll be promoted and make a fortune in no time," Shen Yi said.
Upon hearing this, Tian Dafu was excited and nodded quickly.
"yes!"
Da Mao Trading Company.
At this moment, Shen Yi drove to the Damao Trading Company. He wanted to verify whether Wilson had heard the Japanese phrase there.
Shen Yi got out of the car and saw Xia Guang waiting not far away. Xia Guang also noticed Shen Yi.
Shen Yi then entered the trading company, whereupon someone came to greet him.
"Welcome to Da Mao Trading Company. Sir, what would you like to buy?"
. . . . . .
"I want to buy something for a girl, do you have any recommendations?" Shen Yi asked with a smile.
"We have imported perfumes here, they sell very well, you can take a look."
Shen Yi shook his head upon hearing this. He wanted to go up to the private rooms to check, as there wasn't enough perfume.
"If you don't have enough perfume, do you have any jewelry or anything? I need high-end stuff, you can't try to fool me with some cheap stuff."
Upon hearing this, the other party knew that Shen Yi was a wealthy man, and quickly said, "Sir, please rest assured, all the jewelry in our store is imported from abroad, and many ladies like it very much."
"Sir, please come with me to the second floor and wait a moment. I will have someone bring over the jewelry from our store so you can choose the perfect pieces."
Shen Yi nodded and followed the other person up to the second floor.
Upon arriving on the second floor, the man led Shen Yi to the door of a private room.
Shen Yi saw a porcelain vase standing at the door of the room, exactly the same as the one he remembered Wilson, but the placement was slightly different.
However, Shen Yi was already certain that Wilson had overheard the conversation at the Da Mao Trading Company, because the interior decoration there was the same as the other party remembered.
The trading company was a three-story building. Shen Yi estimated that Wilson must have been eavesdropping on the third floor. The decoration of the third floor and the second floor should be similar, except that some details might be different.
This confirms that Park Jung-min has connections with the Japanese, or that he is Japanese.
Shen Yi entered the private room, and after a while, a large number of jewelry pieces were brought in for him to choose from.
If you're going to put on an act, you have to go all the way. Besides, he was also planning to buy some things for Gu Wanyi, so he had to maintain good relations with Chen Lifu.
In the end, Shen Yi chose three items, all of which were necklaces, each inlaid with diamonds or gemstones, and they were very beautiful.
"These are all we have. Let's calculate the cost."
Shen Yi paid a total of over four hundred legal tender for the three items, which is equivalent to an average person's annual salary.
Diamonds and gemstones are still very expensive right now, especially since they are imported from abroad, which naturally drives up their prices considerably.
Shen Yi wasn't bothered by the expense. He planned to come back and ask Dai Chunfeng for reimbursement. He would save where he could and spend where he could. Besides, it would also be a good opportunity for Dai Chunfeng to win people over and let him know how greedy he was.
He then took the three packaged necklaces and left the private room. When he arrived at the stairwell, he saw a man coming down from the third floor.
The other person wore glasses, had small eyes, and his appearance revealed the shrewdness of a businessman.
"Boss," the person next to him quickly greeted.
Park Jung-min nodded, then looked at Shen Yi and smiled, "Hello sir, I'm the owner of this shop. How was it? Are you satisfied with your purchase?"
"It's alright, better than other places. At least you have what I want here."
Shen Yi said casually, looking no different from any other rich young master.
However, Shen Yi's doubts deepened, because Park Jung-min's voice was completely different from the voice he heard in Wilson's memory!
