Chapter 268: Accidental Death

Uncle Geng was so angry that he wanted to throw away the microphone, but it was inconvenient to do so in front of the camera . The TV reporter chuckled beside him .

Then the reporter went into battle and said, “Mr . Ma, look . The police and your girlfriend’s parents are all here now . Don’t you think that your approach to the problem is very immature? No adults haven’t experienced emotional setbacks…”

Mr . Ma said coldly, “It’s none of your fucking business!”

“I’m warning you, the police will take measures until the door is opened . ”

“Police?” Mr . Ma laughed . “I didn't break the law . Are they going to knock the door down? I’m telling you once more . Get her to contact me . Don’t talk about anything else with me . ”

“Mr . Ma, is this how you deal with problems?”

Mr . Ma was furious . “Why don't you go and interview why she cheated on me? This society is so terrible only because of women like you who are so shameless . Reporter, it seems that you also have some nasty scandals about you . I heard that you had an affair with the station manager . Within one year, you climbed from being the bottom reporter to the position of the station flower[1]!”

“I . . . ” The reporter tried to curse but held back .

“I'm most disgusted by your group of reporters . You broadcast whatever the audience wants . Three years ago, you exposed a meat factory which caused them to close and make thousands of employees lose their jobs . The factory clearly had a legal license, but because a single customer had diarrhea after eating their meat, you went to the dirtiest places and distorted the facts . Whenever legal news and social situations are broadcasted, I think it's just a big show! “

“Can we just talk about the situation at hand rationally . . . ” The reporter was very helpless .

Mr . Ma left and the photographers on both sides lifted their machines up . However, the room was dark and nothing was captured .

Then, the reporter and Uncle Geng each made a summary speech towards the camera . At this moment, a stream of water came out from the window and the crowd was frantic . Everyone screamed and ran away . The reporter also hurt her foot badly .

She suddenly exploded . “What kind of attitude is this? Miss Dong is unlucky to have been with you . I hope your next girlfriend brings you a hundred or ten thousand green hats!”

The answer to her was the slamming sound of the window closing .

After watching this farce, Lin Dongxue said, “It’s like a scholar meeting soldiers[2] . It’s not easy to be a reporter . . . Officer Luo, let's go!”

“Okay!”

Seeing the three of them preparing to enter the building, a cameraman ran over . “Wait a minute, we'll get the machine ready and go in together . ”

Luo Haifeng looked at his watch and asked, “Can you guys be faster? It’s been six hours . ”

“We’ll be just a minute!”

Xu Xiaodong poked at Lin Dongxue and then pointed in a direction . The reporter was sitting at the flower bed and crying . Uncle Geng was comforting her .

Fortunately, the machine didn't have any major issues . After half an hour, a group of people regrouped and squeezed into the corridor . Officer Luo held the key to open the door . He tried inserting it for a long time but it didn’t fit . “Is it the wrong key?”

The light on the camera shone on the keyhole . If you look closely, it was possible to see that someone had plugged a wire into it .

Lin Dongxue questioned, “He wouldn’t have done it himself, would he?”

Xu Xiaodong declared, “Let’s break the lock!”

Luo Haifeng said, “No, it's illegal to knock the door down . We are here to enforce the law . How can we break the law ourselves?”

“But there are ten minutes left and the cat . . . ”

“Killing cats is not illegal!”

“Haii, it's so helpless . . . Fuck, are you still shooting?” Xu Xiaodong looked at the camera .

“Can you repeat that? Can you be a bit louder? The sound wasn’t recorded properly,” said Uncle Geng .

Lin Dongxue was already impatient . “I won't accompany you guys in this torture! I'm leaving!”

Xu Xiaodong said, “Dongxue, you are still on demerits right now . Pay attention to your image in front of the reporter . . . Hey, this is not recorded, right?!”

“It will be cut out! It will be cut out!” Uncle Geng promised .

Helpless, everyone had to re-enter that part of the discussion . Lin Dongxue felt like it was just acting and nothing was real .

But maybe this is the “real” that people wanted to see!

After recording, Lin Dongxue glanced at her watch . “It's twelve o'clock . ”

Everyone on the scene turned on their mobile phones to watch Weibo . There was nothing on Weibo that popped up . Everyone kept refreshing the page to see if anything has happened . Someone suddenly exclaimed, “What's going on?!”

“This . . . Is this a cat?”

“No, it's a person!”

Lin Dongxue clicked again to refresh . When she saw the photo just posted on Weibo, she was confused . Although the picture was blurred, she could still see that Mr . Ma fell on the ground and his head was covered with blood!

“Hurry up and break the door! Who will dial 120?!” Lin Dongxue said .

“I'll contact the officials at Weibo to delete the post immediately . ” Luo Haifeng said .

There was no suitable tool at the scene . Xu Xiaodong went to Luo Haifeng's car and took a lock-opener . He smashed the door lock a few times and smashed the lock completely . The moment the door was opened, the reporters rushed in . The cameras were raised high and both sides were anxious to get this breaking news .

“Stop shooting! Stop shooting! Protect the scene!” Lin Dongxue shouted while pushing people out .

There were so many people that she couldn't hold them all back . Xu Xiaodong held down the lenses of the two cameras and at the same time blocked the flow of people with his chest . “No shooting!”

“Let's take one and leave . ”

“Just ten minutes!”

The reporter and Uncle Geng begged, but Lin Dongxue said, “No . This is a criminal case . No filming is allowed without the approval of the bureau!”

The people outside the door desperately pushed in and a large group already squeezed into the living room . Xu Xiaodong said, “Dongxue, if we don’t let them shoot, they won’t leave . ”

“Smash their machines!” Lin Dongxue gritted her teeth . “I will compensate afterwards!”

“Aiya, these are journalists, don't mess around!”

“Everyone listen to me! Everyone listen to me!” Luo Haifeng shouted outside the door . “Calm down, I have a proposal . ”

The crowd stopped a little and Luo Haifeng said, “Officer Lin, this happened under the eyes of the reporters . You can’t cover it, so just let them take their pictures!”

While the two sides were jumping around happily, Luo Haifeng continued, “You can shoot, but don’t damage the scene . Only one cameraman can go in and once you’ve gotten the material you need, you need to get approval from the Public Security Bureau . ”

Uncle Geng asked, “Only one cameraman is allowed in? But we’re two TV stations!”

“Do you count as TV?” The TV reporter said dismissively .

Luo Haifeng said, “You can share the materials amongst yourselves . It’s already a violation of the rules to allow a person to enter . It’s very troublesome to destroy the footprints and fingerprints at the scene of crime . ”

The crowd refused . Lin Dongxue took a look at Weibo which showed the sender’s location . She lifted up her mobile phone and said, “Take a closer look at Weibo . This photo was sent through the wifi in this room . If this was a murder, the killer is most likely still in here . ”

Upon hearing this, all the enthusiastic people were suddenly splashed with cold water . A cameraman immediately cried, “I won't do it! I won’t do it! I don't want to be killed!”

There was eventually a young man from the TV station willing to be a temporary cameraman .

1 .  The girl of the station . The beauty of that place .  

2 . An expression that means that you are out of luck even if logic is on your side .
