He Jianmiao was a sly one; he didn't offend anyone and conducted the inquiry with Luo Ziling, Ling Haijun, Ling Haining, and Ling Haiyang in an official manner, gathering information about the incident from them.

Because Ling Haining, Ling Haijun, and Ling Haiyang were all present at the scene, they were questioned for a longer time. Especially Ling Haiyang, who lived with Ling Haihang, was questioned in great detail.

Although Ling Haining persistently stated that Luo Ziling was the prime suspect in the murder of Ling Haihang, and Ling Haiyang shared this view, the police still considered Ling Haiyang, who lived with Ling Haihang, as the main suspect.

This made Ling Haining and Ling Haiyang very dissatisfied, and they threw a public tantrum, making things difficult for the police.

Luo Ziling didn't act as arrogantly as they did; instead, he sincerely told the police that if they needed his cooperation, he would certainly comply with their actions.

Moreover, he reiterated his suspicion that someone else had infiltrated the place and attacked Ling Haihang while he was taking a shower.

While the police were investigating the scene and questioning the people present, Ling Haihang's father, Ling Zhengmin, arrived.

Ling Zhengmin was the eldest son of Ling Mingqing, the second son of Ling Jinhua, and held a reasonably high status in the Ling Family. Currently, he was holding a high-level leadership position in the ministry, which was also quite influential.

Ling Zhengmin hurried over after receiving a call from his nephew, Ling Haiyang.

Upon seeing that his son was already lifeless, having turned into a corpse, Ling Zhengmin flew into a rage on the spot. He furiously berated Luo Ziling with a voice full of anger, cursing him as being lower than pigs and dogs, and bluntly stated that it was Luo Ziling who had killed Ling Haihang.

"I understand your feelings; anyone who sees their son like this would feel sadness and anger. But if you also believe that I killed your son, then I must say, you overestimate your son," Luo Ziling, disregarding Ling Zhengmin's fury, calmly replied: "Your son and I are worlds apart. Would I really risk my future and fate to kill him? Anyone with normal intelligence wouldn't think I killed Ling Haihang. Such a simple matter, why can't you understand?"

Bereft of a child at middle age, Ling Zhengmin's pain and anger were indescribable. Upon hearing Luo Ziling's words, he was even more enraged and wanted to fight Luo Ziling desperately.

Fortunately, he was stopped by the police at the scene.

After being stopped by the police, Ling Zhengmin was even more furious.

But being restrained by the police, he had no way to rush forward and fight Luo Ziling, and eventually, he calmed down, picked up his phone, and called his uncle, Ling Ruonan's father, Ling Mingrui.

The call was made directly to Ling Mingrui's home.

Ling Mingrui was just about to sleep when Xie Enhua answered the phone. Hearing the caller shouting, he frowned and took the call.

After hearing from Ling Zhengmin that his son, Ling Haihang, was killed tonight in the Northern Pharmaceuticals building, Ling Mingrui's frown deepened.

"I will personally look into this matter," he finally replied to Ling Zhengmin without saying much, "I will ensure they uncover the truth and bring the murderer to justice."

Not listening to much else from Ling Zhengmin, Ling Mingrui decisively hung up the phone.

After hanging up, Ling Mingrui pondered for a moment, ignoring Xie Enhua's inquiries, and called Ling Ruonan.

Ling Ruonan had already received a report from someone beside Luo Ziling and knew about Ling Haihang's death, so she wasn't surprised to receive a call from Ling Mingrui in the middle of the night.

"Ling Haihang is dead. What do you think about this?" Ling Mingrui asked Ling Ruonan calmly.

"Dad, I believe this is a signal that someone is targeting our Ling Family," Ling Ruonan clearly expressed her viewpoint to Ling Mingrui, "Ling Zhengmin, Ling Haining, and Ling Haiyang all firmly believe that it was Ziling who did it, which plays right into the hands of the planner. I think this matter will be difficult to unravel. Even if resolved, they won't believe it and will still see it as being done by Ziling or me."

"Before the matter is fully investigated, anyone is a suspect. If the police require your cooperation, I hope you won't refuse," Ling Mingrui maintained his calm voice, "However, you should know, this matter will surely cause a huge upheaval in the Ling Family. If the true murderer isn't found, the Ling Family will be disgraced and lose a great deal."

"Dad, are you hoping for us to get involved in the investigation of the case?" Ling Ruonan couldn't help but ask.

"Shortly, I will call your son and hear his opinion."

"Alright," Ling Ruonan sighed and said nothing more, only reminding Ling Mingrui to go to bed early and not stay up late.

After ending the call with Ling Ruonan, Ling Mingrui also called Luo Ziling.

Receiving a call directly from Ling Mingrui, Luo Ziling found it very strange.

The matter hadn't even reached a crucial stage, having just begun, and Ling Mingrui was already personally taking action, which seemed like a fuss over nothing.

"Grandfather, so late, and you haven't slept yet?" Luo Ziling, after answering the call, expressed his concern to Ling Mingrui and apologetically said, "I really didn't expect that what just happened would reach you so quickly."

"Tell me your speculations." Ling Mingrui ignored Luo Ziling's pleasantries and directly asked about the matter.

Hearing Ling Mingrui's words, Luo Ziling immediately discerned that his grandfather didn't believe he was involved in the matter.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked in this manner.

"Clearly, it's a long-planned action by some individuals." Luo Ziling candidly presented his speculation, "Moreover, those involved in the action are experts who've evaded all surveillance within the building, leaving no traces in the video monitoring system. I just checked; the poison that affected Ling Haihang is a relatively unknown toxin. This toxin is very potent, quickly breaking down after entering the stomach and small intestine, making it undetectable in the body over time. Furthermore, they clearly aim to frame me and incite internal strife within the Ling Family."

After hearing this, Ling Mingrui asked Luo Ziling, "Are there any traces found at the scene?"

"I examined Ling Haihang's body and discovered signs of poisoning. My people investigated the scene and found many traces. We have already provided these useful clues to the police."

"If you were allowed to investigate this case, could you find the murderer?"

Upon hearing Ling Mingrui's words, Luo Ziling was surprised: "Grandfather, I can't guarantee it, but I believe if we investigate, it would surely be many times more likely to solve the case than the police."

"Alright, then you will investigate this matter secretly. I will arrange the specific situation!"

Ling Mingrui's words once again took Luo Ziling by surprise.
