Feathering the Heart
Chapter 8
"Prosecutor Min, I'm coming in."
Tang Yuxin, who got the information from Choi Dong-man, went to Min Tae-yeon's office as requested. She just said hello and pushed the door open.
As soon as she entered the door, Tang Yuxin saw Min Tae-yeon sitting in front of the laptop and laughing very happily. "What are you laughing at?"
Min Tae-yeon turned to see Tang Yuxin, so he waved her over, pointed to the computer, and said, "Yunji sent a message."
"Really?!"
Tang Yuxin ran over happily. Under the sun, Yunji was wearing a white T-shirt, blue jeans, and a creamy white cap. She also had a blue denim jacket in her hand. She stood on the street full of people and smiled sweetly.
"Brother, sister, this is Broadway. I've always wanted to come here and take a look!" Such a sentence was attached to the photo.
Tang Yuxin looked carefully and found that behind Yunji was the gate of Broadway. Because it was daytime, the neon lights were not so bright, but just by looking at the decoration, it was enough to feel the prosperity of Broadway.
"It's Times Square."
Looking at Xiao Yunji's happy smile, Tang Yuxin's expression also softened. After all, she was a child who made people feel sorry for her. It was really good that she could smile happily now.
"Yunji looks very happy."
Yunji was happy, so was Min Tae-yeon. It could be said that it was all Tang Yuxin's credit that Xiao Yunji could show a bright smile now. Otherwise, Zhang Zhewu's bullet would probably have taken Yunji's life.
"This time, we should thank Minister Zhang. Otherwise, Xiao Yunji would not have been able to go to the United States and receive such a good education."
Tang Yuxin leaned her body on Min Tae-yeon, and one forearm supported Min Tae-yeon's shoulder.
Min Tae-yeon's body instinctively stiffened when Tang Yuxin approached him, then he slowly slowed down his body and silently endured the weight from his shoulder.
"Yeah …" Min Tae-yeon sighed. He himself did not know how to feel about Minister Zhang. Although Yunji became a vampire because of him, it was also because of his care that Yunji could live in this world with her current appearance.
Whether it was Zhang Zhewu or Tang Yuxin, these two people were important to Yunji's life. Maybe he should let them go …
"Hello, Min. How about I treat you to a drink tonight?
I heard from Zhang that you're at Blood.
Forage?
Is the quality of the bait there very high? "
A magnetic voice sounded. Then, without anyone's permission, the owner of the voice pushed open the door of Prosecutor Min's office and entered.
"What are you doing here?"
Min Tae-yeon looked warily at the Chinese and American mixed-blood in front of him. Naturally, Min Tae-yeon did not treat an uninvited guest who was not one of his subordinates well.
"Why is Tang here?"
The Chinese and American mixed-blood was obviously stunned by Tang Yuxin's presence. Then, he covered up his surprise with a smile.
"Why, is Mr. Dining Table surprised by my presence?"
Tang Yushen replied indifferently. Tang Yushen couldn't be blamed for being rude. It was just that Mr. Luo Yi's entrance wasn't very likable. Didn't he knock on the door before entering?
Wasn't that too rude?!
"Of course not, beautiful Miss Prosecutor."
Roy walked forward as if nothing had happened. It was as if he did not hear Tang Yuxin's teasing. He even picked up her hand and kissed it gently on the back of her hand. Then, he said, "I just want to compliment the depth of your relationship. Look at you two, you're already like a married couple who have been married for many years."
Tang Yuxin was stunned when she heard that. Then, she realized what kind of position she was in.
Her face was slightly hot. She raised her arm and put some distance between her and Prosecutor Min. "Sorry, I didn't realize … I didn't notice …"
Seeing Tang Yuxin like this, Min Tae-yeon pursed his lips and smiled gently.
Just as he had felt from the very beginning, Tang Yushen had always treated him as a family member. The seven-year itch had never existed between the two of them.
Seeing the smile on Min Tae-yeon's face, Tang Yuxin did not think much of it. However, Roy's eyes immediately lit up. Then, he smiled playfully and said, "Although I'm sorry, may I ask if you're interested in my proposal?
It just so happens that the quality of the bait I found outside these few days is not very good. You can introduce your hunting ground to me. "
"Bait outside?" Min Tae-yeon and Tang Yuxin grasped the key words at the same time and asked in unison.
"Yes, that's why I'm always hungry. Zhang doesn't allow me to hunt outside all the time." Roy shrugged and said disapprovingly.
"Mr. Fan Zhuo, no matter how you live in your hometown, I hope that you're not allowed to go out and eat live bait. Please remember this.
Sorry, we still have a case, so we can't accompany you, "Min Tae-yeon said coldly. With a straight face, he walked out of the door without looking back.
When Roy saw Min Tae-yeon's attitude, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes. Then, he noticed that Tang Yuxin was also there, so he immediately hid this feeling in his heart and gave Tang Yuxin a smile that was unique to mixed-race people.
Tang Yuxin looked at Prosecutor Min who walked out and looked at the dining table in front of her. Then, she remembered the look in Tang Yuxin's eyes that she had failed to hide. Suddenly, Tang Yuxin was sure of something. Her face showed a look of understanding, and she gave Roy a meaningful smile. When the latter saw such a smile, he inexplicably felt a cold wind blow past him …
"Hello, Chief Editor Lee. We are the prosecutors of the Special Search Department. My name is Tang Yuxin, and this is Prosecutor Min Tae-yeon."
After Min Tae-yeon and Tang Yuxin came out of the department, they went straight to the supernatural TV show building. Along the way, Min Tae-yeon's face did not look good. Obviously, he was annoyed by Roy's habit of feeding on live bait. Although Tang Yuxin also had a straight face, it was obvious that she was pretending to be angry. After all, she had to take care of Prosecutor Min's mood …
"What brings the two prosecutors here?" Chief Editor Lee led the two to the sofa and poured two glasses of water.
"There are some things I want to ask you," Tang Yuxin said as she took out a few photos from her coat pocket. "These photos are from your website, right? Can you tell me who uploaded them?"
"Oh, you mean this? Yes, it's from our website." Chief Editor Lee put on his glasses and looked at the photos, confirming that they were from their website.
"Then, may I ask, is it convenient for you to reveal the person who uploaded these photos?"
"I'm sorry, this is a personal matter. We should respect other people's privacy, right?
I believe that prosecutors should understand this principle better than I do, "Chief Editor Lee said as he adjusted his glasses.
"Well, in that case, may I ask if you know the specific situation of these people?" Tang Yushen pointed at the photos on the table and asked.
"Well, this photo was the first to be uploaded. Let me think … Well, it should be uploaded 15 years ago.
In order to verify the authenticity of the photo and confirm that it was a supernatural event, we specially went to the hospital to check the medical history of the deceased. We found that the cause of death was indeed suspicious, so we published it on the Internet. The click-through rate was quite good, and with our packaging, the click-through rate was not bad, "Chief Editor Lee said as he recalled.
"This photo was uploaded 15 years ago?
Do you know who this man is? "Tang Yuxin asked again.
"Ah, I know. His name is Jiang Zhongzheng."
"What about this woman?"
"The woman's name is Kim In-young."
"Can you tell us more about the specific situation?"
"It's not that I don't want to tell you. After all, I'm not a professional in this field. I think you should go to the hospital to check."
"Well, then let's talk about that house. I heard that you made a show about that house?"
"Yes, actually, there wasn't much material at that time. After seeing someone upload the photo, we went to investigate. After contacting the doctor, we found that the cause of death was indeed unknown. At that time, there really wasn't much to do, so we chose that house as the material and added some packaging. I didn't expect the ratings to be so good."
"Did you go there after Kim In-young's death to collect material for the show?"
"Yes, at that time, we received the photo again, so we decided to go there and take a look. To be honest, it wasn't a busy area. It took us some time to find it, but compared to the ratings of the same time, it was worth it."
"How much did you pay?" Min Tae-yeon, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked, startling Chief Editor Lee.
"This … This is mainly based on the click-through rate and ratings. The ratings were good, so we paid quite a lot."
"How much exactly?" Min Tae-yeon asked.
"I don't really remember …"
"Then what about this time?
You definitely remember this time, right? "Tang Yuxin continued to ask.
"Well, according to the current click-through rate, it's about two million. But if it continues to increase, we will consider increasing the pay."
Tang Yuxin and Min Tae-yeon were shocked by this number. Then, Tang Yuxin remembered that after registering on the website, she would have to pay to continue participating in more activities, so she was relieved. Moreover, if the ratings were high, the pay would not be small.
"Thank you for the information. If we have any more questions, we will come back and disturb you."
After the questioning, Tang Yuxin and Min Tae-yeon stood up. Min Tae-yeon nodded to Chief Editor Lee and left. Tang Yuxin was too embarrassed to be rude like Prosecutor Min, so she greeted Chief Editor Lee before chasing after them.
"Prosecutor Min, what do you think?"
In the car, Tang Yuxin recalled Chief Editor Lee's words and sorted out her thoughts. She found that her thoughts seemed to be getting clearer and clearer.
"If the previous investigation is true, Oh Young-ran must be suspicious." Min Tae-yeon put on his sunglasses to block the glaring sun.
"I think so too. The pay is really a little scary. If the pay is the motivation, it's not impossible to kill someone."
"Yes, now what we need to know is the real cause of death of those people in the photos. We need to see if it's the same as Yoo Seon-hee's death. Maybe it's not that the cause of death was not found, but that they knew the cause of death but didn't understand why it happened." Min Tae-yeon analyzed in one breath.
"Yes, that's what I think too."
Tang Yuxin nodded in agreement. She turned on the recording pen and repeated Chief Editor Lee's words.
"You recorded this too?"
Min Tae-yeon looked at Tang Yuxin's actions and smiled. Ever since the incident with Wu Bu, this girl almost never left the recording pen. In her words, even if the recorded information might not be useful, she still couldn't let go of any clues!
'Buzz!'
Prosecutor Min's phone vibrated in his pocket. Min Tae-yeon put his two hands on the steering wheel to one hand and reached into his pocket to take out the phone.
"Hello?
What's the matter?
Um, what?
Okay, I got it. "He hung up after a few short sentences.
"Yu Jingren called?" Tang Yuxin looked out of the car window absent-mindedly.
"Yes, Chiang Cheng-tai's medical license was revoked a long time ago." Min Tae-yeon drove the car thoughtfully.
"Really? Then that means Chiang Cheng-tai has been operating without a license." Tang Yuxin didn't show too much surprise. After all, how good would a doctor be if he forgot to write the taboo of medicine on the prescription?
Min Tae-yeon turned his head and looked at Tang Yuxin with a gentle gaze. "You thought of this a long time ago?"
"Hey, you have to look at the front when you drive. What if you overturn the car again?"
