Long Tianming led the four of them toward the center of the Golden Money Bee breeding pilot project, a broad smile on his face as he introduced, "The Golden Money Bee breeding program launched by Tianming Industries not only boosts the economic development of the mountainous areas but also provides valuable medicinal materials."
He pointed to a worker from Miao Village who was collecting honey and continued, "We have already established partnerships with several pharmaceutical companies, which will bring significant income to Miao Village every year..."
"Mr. Long, Doctor Thomson has been assisting you with the medical research on the Golden Money Bee, right? May I ask how far along the research is?" Lin Mingchang interrupted Long Tianming's roundabout explanation, getting straight to the point.
Long Tianming's expression changed slightly, his smile fading a bit as he sighed, "Yes, Doctor Thomson indeed helped me a lot. He came to my pilot site several times to collect samples, but the specific research work was conducted in his own laboratory. Unfortunately, he passed away suddenly before completing his research results..."
"Sudden illness?" Lin Mingchang widened his eyes slightly, staring at Long Tianming.
Long Tianming looked surprised and nodded, "Yes, didn’t you know? The doctors at Holy Love Hospital examined him and said it was food poisoning. Sigh... Doctor Thomson was an outstanding person; it’s truly... such a pity..."
Ruan Xiaoshuang could not stand Long Tianming's feigned sympathy any longer and rolled her eyes, bluntly asking, "What about Peng Jintang and Chen Zhi? They were also involved with your Golden Money Bee Project and both died suddenly... Do you really think this is just a coincidence?"
Long Tianming's expression immediately darkened, his voice turning colder. "Miss Ruan means to imply that the deaths of these three individuals are related to Tianming Industries or myself? That is a very serious accusation; one must speak with evidence. These three were my friends, and their sudden passing has caused me great sorrow as well. However, solving this case is the responsibility of the Police Station; I can only cooperate as much as possible. I must reiterate that my Golden Money Bee breeding is a legitimate business plan that can withstand any investigation."
Seeing this, Fang Zigui quickly intervened to smooth things over. "Mr. Long, please don’t misunderstand; Xiaoshuang doesn’t mean that. We just want to understand your perspective on this case."
Upon hearing this, Long Tianming's expression softened slightly as he resumed his professional smile.
"Everyone has traveled a long way; the mountains are high and the roads are treacherous. It will soon be dark, and you won’t be able to return to the city tonight." He took out a pocket watch from his coat and checked the time. "I’ve rented several houses in the village below for staff accommodation; why don’t you all stay in the village for the night? It won’t be too late to leave tomorrow morning when it’s light."
Shen Tong, Fang Zigui, and Ruan Xiaoshuang all looked at Lin Mingchang, who subtly nodded in agreement.
The purpose of their trip was indeed to investigate clues related to the case, so staying in the village suited him perfectly.
The group followed Long Tianming back to Wu Chao Village. Shen Tong keenly noticed that the villagers of Miao Village displayed various expressions upon seeing Long Tianming; their reactions were quite subtle.
The older Miao people greeted him with an impassive salute while young people showed clear signs of respect and even fear. Almost no one dared to meet Long Tianming's gaze directly, nor did any villagers approach him for conversation.
