âIâve got a spare copy in my car.â
âThen what are you waiting for? Show it to me.â He Yuanyuan urged.
âWith me around, 1 can help you analyze the problem in minutes.â
âWait here.â
Lin Yi got up and slowly returned to the car, bringing back all the information about Song Deyuanâs company.
âItâs all here.â
âLet me take a look at you.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
He Yuanyuan read it seriously. She even took out a pen from her bag and began to mark the pages.
Although Ji Qingyan was not a professional, she was skilled enough to be He Yuanyuanâs assistant in this matter.
Gao Zongyuan also went over obsequiously and followed He Yuanyuan to scrutinize the document.
Lin Yi and the other two held their beers and drank one bottle after another. They all stuck to their own task.
Seeing how serious He Yuanyuan was, Lin Yi wanted to praise himself for being so smart.
Half an hour later, He Yuanyuan sorted out the information and put the pen aside. She complained,
âI think the person in charge of their companyâs finances should be dragged out and executed.â
âWhatâs wrong?â Lin Yi said.
âItâs full of loopholes. If the higher-ups wanted to investigate it, they could close down in minutes. 1 wonder how they did it.â
âWith the size of their company, the finance manager they hired must lack skill. Heâs not on the same level as you,â Gao Zongyuan asked.
Lin Yi and the other two rolled their eyes.
He Yuanyuan was also very smug. But then again, she had the right to act like it.
âEven though the companyâs accounts are full of loopholes, they have enough money to spend and gift some gifts,â He Yuanyuan said.
âHowever, there isnât much money left in their companyâs accounts.â
âWhat did they spend it on?â
âIt seems they are developing a new project in collaboration with a company called Shengke. According to the project figures listed, the total investment is about 240 million yuanâ¦â
While speaking, He Yuanyuan looked down at the document, âThis person named Song Deyuan withdrew 130 million yuan, it was really a last-ditch effort.â
Lin Yi frowned, âIf I remember correctly, the liquid assets in his account were only about 80 million yuan.â
He Yuanyuan continued flipping through the documents in her hand, âHe mortgaged his house for 28 million yuan, then took out a loan for 22 million yuan. Thatâs how he gathered this much money.â
âI think this also proves that he was murdered, after all, he was ready to make a big move, not likely wanting to die,â Liang Jinming said.
âMaybe the pressure was too much, then he took some substances, and eventually fell to his death.â
Everyone nodded. This possibility indeed existed.
âHowever, his recent trajectory seems a little strange. Itâs a little hard to explain.â He Yuanyuan said.
âWhat went wrong?â
Lin Yi asked seriously. He felt that the real problem was about to surface.
He Yuanyuan waved a document in her hand.
âThis is the financial statement of their companyâs travelers. It records the travel of employees at all levels.
âI found out that heâs been traveling a lot in the past three months.â
âWhatâs strange about that?â Lin Yi asked.
âThe coastal areas are the most developed regions in China. Pengcheng in particular is unparalleled in the semiconductor industry. Moreover, the company he was collaborating with is also based in Pengcheng, so there was no need for him to travel elsewhere on business.â
âCould he have done that to find other partners? To expand his market?â Liang Jinming asked.
âItâs unlikely,â Ji Qingyan said while looking through the contract.
âThe contract indicates that they wanted to partner up to develop new types of security devices aimed at cracking the high-end domestic and overseas markets. Therefore, the main focus of this project is on research and development, and itâs not yet ready to be market-oriented; itâs unlikely he was trying to expand the market.â
âSisterâs right, there are indeed some doubts here,â He Yuanyuan said, smoothing her hair.
âIâm familiar with Huaxiaâs semiconductor market, and even if he really was looking for partners, he should have concentrated his travels in the coastal regions, but his travel ppatern is odd.â
âOver these three months, he first went to the Greater Khingan Range in the northeast, then to Mount Tai, and afterwards to Gui Province. These places are either major industrial provinces or major agricultural provinces, where the semiconductor and computer industries are relatively weak. It doesnât make much sense for him to look for partners in these areas.â
âHis situation seems somewhat similar to yours; it should be explainable, right?â Gao Zongyuan said.
âHuh? How is it similar to my situation?â
âArenât you also always going to places like the northeast, Guilin, Sanya? These are also not very related to your job.â
He Yuanyuanâs face darkened. She wanted to kick Gao Zongyuan.
Iâm on a company-funded vacation. How can I be the same as him!
Was there sh*t in his brain?!
âThatâs an industry exchange. Itâs different from him.â He Yuanyuan combed her hair and pretended to be calm.
Youâre the CFO, yet youâre talking about industry exchange! What kind of sh*t was this?!
However, Lin Yi didnât pursue the matter. He had helped him so much, so he didnât mind such a small matter.
âThen, do you think itâs possible that he was under too much pressure and went on a holiday?â
âA person like Song Deyuan is obviously a hardened veteran. Heâs not like us young people who need to rely on traveling to relieve stress. He has his own unique way of relieving stress,â He Yuanyuan said.
âOn the other hand, even if he did travel, the route was strange.â
âThe places he goes to are either mountainous or hilly. Theyâre not particularly famous tourist cities. Itâs impossibleâ¦â
âF*ck!â
Before He Yuanyuan could finish, she heard Lin Yi exclaim, scaring the others.
âBrother Lin, what was that? You scared me.â
âI understand now! 1 know who the murderer is!â
As soon as these words were spoken, everyoneâs gazes focused on Lin Yi!
âWho is it?â
Ji Qingyan was nervous and excited, feeling that she had made a significant contribution!
âItâs Song Deyuanâs lover, Du Juan!â
âHow did you determine that?â
âWhen I was interrogating her during the day, I received news that she had been applying for leave frequently in the past three months. Moreover, Song Deyuan had also been on a business trip for the past three months. If the timings coincided, it meant that Song Deyuan had gone out with Du Juan!â âDoes this prove that Du Juan is the murderer?â
The case had reached the most critical point. The others were also nervous. They felt like they were acting out a script. They even felt a little creeped out.
âThat should be the case,â Lin Yi said seriously.
âThe places they go to are always places with mountains and rivers. This means that every time they travel, she had planned to lure Song Deyuan into falling off a cliff, but every time, she failed.. However, this time, she succeeded!â
