Chapter 993 Anti-Investigation
"Get started!"
When Qin Tian jovially invited the two journalists to the side, he saw that there was no one around. Qin Tian's expression suddenly changed, and he instructed the two men brought by Zhang Runhao to take action.
The two men brought by Zhang Runhao knew in advance that they might have to interrogate someone. Upon hearing Qin Tian's order, they were not surprised but instead took a step closer to the two journalists, instantly ready to act.
"Get started, get started, where should we ask questions?"
The two journalists hadn't realized what was happening. Hearing Qin Tian's jovial "Get started," they actually responded with smiles as well.
Selling out Qin Tian and still helping him count money, these two people's IQs were really akin to the Mariana Trench.
And the two men with Zhang Runhao acted quickly, not giving the two journalists any chance to resist. They swiftly tied up the unsuspecting journalists, and with Zhang Runhao's help, they gagged them tightly.
Of course, the two journalists struggled in various ways, their furious eyes seemingly wanting to swallow Qin Tian whole.
But there was no way; these two journalists were no match in strength and size for the two Special Forces men brought by Zhang Runhao. Moreover, it was a sneak attack, so, despite having a lot to say, they now had no opportunity.
"Gentlemen, I need you to find out from them who instructed them to come to Clubhouse No. 1 for an interview, how much they were paid by the other party, and what were they supposed to achieve. Most importantly, how do they connect with the other party's people. Good luck."
After the two journalists were tied up on a car by Zhang Runhao's men, Qin Tian directly issued an order to those two men.
The two men nodded, then looked at Zhang Runhao.
Zhang Runhao solemnly nodded and said, "This is my master, and what he says is what I say. Just listen and follow. Don't let anyone get killed, but anything else is allowed. Go."
"Yes."
The two men respectfully acknowledged and got on the car, driving it away.
Qin Tian said, "Runhao, where are they going?"
Zhang Runhao smiled and said, "There's no interrogation equipment here. They're going to a place where such tools can be used. Don't worry, Master, it's just two journalists. I'm sure I can get them to confess how many thrusts they had last time they made love, hahaha!"
"Your guys are really impressive!"
Hearing Zhang Runhao's words, Qin Tian also laughed heartily and gave a thumbs up to him.
Turning his thoughts, Qin Tian remembered something and said to Zhang Runhao, "By the way, I forgot to mention, you also need to have your guys find out who else apart from these Kyoto Daily journalists was at the door of Clubhouse No. 1 today? Where did the other journalists go?"
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
Zhang Runhao then called to inform those two men, then went with Qin Tian into Clubhouse No. 1, comforted Murong Fei, and started chatting over tea, waiting for news from his subordinates.
At that point, the police investigation also concluded. They took two waitstaff who were on duty last night to the police station for testimony. Other than that, nothing specific was found.
After the police left, Murong Fei was restless and anxious, saying, "Who can be so ruthless, killing three people to frame Clubhouse No. 1? It's really... at least the police believe it's not me, though they suspect there might be an internal conflict within Clubhouse No. 1, which is why they took the two most suspicious people for further investigation."
"But I believe my people wouldn't commit murder, and besides, they're the ones who found the bodies. It's definitely a rival's conspiracy."
Seeing Murong Fei's somewhat panicked expression, Qin Tian reassured her, "Murong, don't panic. The truth will come out in the end."
Murong Fei shook her head, "How can I not panic? If it drags on like this, even if the truth eventually comes out, our Clubhouse No. 1 will suffer too much. There are already many journalists waiting outside to interview us. They're going to expose this incident!"
Murong Fei knew very well the opponent's tactics. After there were deaths at Clubhouse No. 1, the opponent secretly contacted journalists to interview, so the matter was set in stone. From Murong Fei's viewpoint, as the situation has developed to this stage, no matter the eventual outcome, the reputation of Clubhouse No. 1 in the eyes of customers might already be ruined.
"Don't worry, against their tactics, we have ways to counteract them. Take it slow; I'm here with you."
Hearing Murong Fei's words, Qin Tian remained calm, smiling as he consoled her. This left Murong Fei speechless, "Even at this point, you can still laugh. You are really..."
"Master's wife, don't worry. Master is so confident, you should trust him."
Zhang Runhao also stepped in to reassure Murong Fei, "I think you should leave this matter to Master and me. Don't worry, I have some connections in Beijing. I don't think this situation is too troublesome."
Qin Tian said, "Did you hear that, Murong? Even my disciple has this level of confidence in me, haha, why are you worried?"
As they chatted, Zhang Runhao received a phone call from his two subordinates.
A few minutes later, he hung up and said to Qin Tian, "Master, look, those two guys couldn't handle it in less than half an hour. Haha."
"They've already found out that besides these two from the Kyoto Daily, there were a few journalists from the Beijing Daily outside Clubhouse No. 1 today. Just these two newspapers."
Zhang Runhao reported to Qin Tian.
Qin Tian frowned and asked, "Then, where did the journalists from the Beijing Daily go?"
Zhang Runhao said, "They left. Apparently, one of the journalists from the Beijing Daily is acquainted with a waiter named Wang Yun at Clubhouse No. 1. That journalist took Wang Yun out and spent some money to get a piece of news from Wang Yun. So, they've already got the material and probably left to write their articles."
"Wang Yun?!"
Murong Fei, hearing this, became furious, "That Wang Yun, betraying us, really... Wang Yu, fire him immediately!"
"Alright!" Answered Wang Yu from outside, going to handle Wang Yun's matter.
Qin Tian asked again, "And what about the mastermind behind this? Any clues?"
"Yes." Zhang Runhao nodded.
At these words, both Qin Tian and Murong Fei's eyes lit up.
Zhang Runhao glanced at the two of them and said, "It seems to be someone named Zhang Wei and... the young master of the Shangguan Family, Shangguan Yunfei. They are the masterminds."
Zhang Runhao didn't know Zhang Wei, but he did recognize the notorious playboy, Shangguan Yunfei, of Beijing.
So, when mentioning Shangguan Yunfei, he hesitated, feeling that this issue, involving the Shangguan Family, wouldn't easily be resolved!
