Chapter 186 All Wealth and Glory Are Fleeting Clouds
Li Yi was about to return to the beauty salon when he suddenly heard someone calling his name from behind, so he involuntarily stopped in his tracks.
When he turned around and saw who it was, he was quite surprised.
Luo Peng, dressed in a police uniform, was seen striding towards them.
In addition, dozens of figures followed him not far behind.
Men and women of all ages.
What's most puzzling is that all of these people were crying and wailing, looking extremely sad.
In fact, several people even need assistance to walk.
Because of the commotion caused by the opening of Guang Sheng Tang today, the entire street attracted countless onlookers.
Many people couldn't get in and ended up stranded in front of the beauty salon.
At this moment, Luo Peng's arrival and his grief-stricken cries quickly attracted the attention of many people.
"Huh? What happened? Why are the police here?"
"And why are all those people crying so loudly?"
"Could they be here to cause trouble for Guang Sheng Tang?"
"Wait a minute! Look, they're going to that beauty salon by the roadside!"
A group of passersby who had come to see Guang Sheng Tang immediately shifted their attention to the entrance of the beauty salon.
Li Yi naturally saw the men, women, and children crying their hearts out.
However, he thought those people were just passing by, so he didn't pay them any mind for the time being.
Seeing Luo Peng approach, Li Yi immediately asked, "Officer Luo, what brings you here?"
"Li Yi, I'm here today on someone's behalf to bring them to meet you and express my gratitude."
What's going on?
Li Yi was taken aback upon hearing this.
Just then, the group of men, women, and children who were crying and wailing actually stopped at the entrance of the beauty salon.
Before Li Yi could even ask, Luo Peng turned to the group and said, "Alright, this is the Li Yi I mentioned before. You can say whatever you want to him now."
As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged woman walking at the front knelt down with a thud.
"Dr. Li, thank you so much for your kindness!"
What the hell!
Upon seeing this, Li Yi was immediately alarmed. "Auntie, what's wrong? Get up quickly!"
As he spoke, he quickly took two steps forward, trying to help the person up.
But before he could even reach out, one person after another knelt down.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
A group of dozens of people knelt down in unison at the entrance of the beauty salon.
This left not only Li Yi dumbfounded, but also Wang Tao, Bai Ruxue, and the passersby who were watching the commotion at Guang Shengtang.
"Sigh, they are the family members of the victims in the serial murder case. In addition to the three victims mentioned earlier, the murderer has five more lives on his hands. The earliest of these cases occurred twelve years ago, and all of them have become unsolved mysteries."
However, now, the case is finally solved.
A soft sigh was heard.
Luo Peng continued to explain, "All the cases were thoroughly tried yesterday morning, and the murderer was sentenced to death. After seeing that their daughter's great revenge had been achieved, they knelt down on the spot."
However, my mentor said that this case was solved entirely thanks to you, Li Yi, and our Criminal Investigation Department is unworthy of such praise.
That's why I brought them here today to thank you in person, my true benefactor.
Hearing this, Li Yi finally understood what was going on.
He quickly reached out to help the person kneeling on the ground to their feet.
"Oh dear, uncles and aunts, I only did what I could. Why are you making such a fuss? Please get up."
The middle-aged woman gripped Li Yi's arm tightly, tears streaming down her face, and said, "Dr. Li, if it weren't for you, Yueyue would still be lying in her coffin. We will remember your great kindness for the rest of our lives."
An honest-looking middle-aged man chimed in, "That's right! Dr. Li, the police officers said that you helped us catch the murderer. You are a great benefactor to our whole family."
"Dr. Li, my granddaughter has been gone for twelve years, and I'm the only one left in the family. I never thought that I would be able to see the murderer brought to justice before I die. I can die in peace now."
An elderly man in his seventies was saying something when he was about to bend down and kowtow.
Li Yi grabbed the man, "Grandpa, you mustn't do this, get up quickly."
He helped the old man up, but didn't have a spare hand to stop the others.
So, the group of people kneeling on the ground kowtowed and thanked Li Yi one by one.
"Thank you so much, Dr. Li, for your immense kindness!"
"Thank you, Dr. Li!"
"Dr. Li..."
"......"
Everyone who witnessed this scene was completely dumbfounded.
Bai Ruxue had no idea that Li Yi had helped the Criminal Investigation Department solve the case. After she came to her senses, she immediately turned to ask, "Taozi, do you know what exactly happened?"
Although Wang Tao knew that Li Yi had helped solve the case, she never expected that it would become such a big deal.
As for the onlookers, they were even more confused about what was going on.
"Weren't these people here to cause trouble? Why are they kneeling and kowtowing in front of the beauty salon?"
"What happened? How do we solve the case?"
This scene is truly unbelievable.
So the word spread quickly, and people started discussing it.
Those who had originally come for the opening of Guang Sheng Tang turned around and surrounded the beauty salon entrance.
The entrance to the newly opened Guang Sheng Tang was already piled high with flower baskets.
Flowers of various colors and varieties, vibrant and beautiful, create a festive atmosphere.
"Mr. Zhao, congratulations on the opening of your new store!"
"President Zhao, congratulations!"
"Dr. Zhao..."
CEOs of listed companies, association presidents, hospital directors, and all sorts of important figures kept offering their congratulations.
Zhao Liangyi was beaming with pride, his face full of smiles, and he responded politely to everyone.
However, the next moment, a commotion suddenly broke out outside.
He subconsciously looked up and glanced at it.
As a result, the people who were originally gathered in front of his shop turned around and looked behind him.
It was as if something extraordinary was happening there.
Zhao Liangyi frowned and beckoned to one of his men, "Go and see what's happening outside?"
"yes!"
Upon hearing this, his subordinates immediately ran out to find out what was going on.
The other party returned very quickly.
"Second Master, something seems to have happened at the beauty salon across the street. A group of people are blocking the entrance, including a policeman."
Could it be that something happened to that kid surnamed Li?
Upon hearing this, Zhao Liangyi's eyes lit up.
He immediately turned to the VIPs who had come to offer their congratulations, "Gentlemen, something interesting seems to have happened at a beauty salon across the street. Shall we go check it out?"
Everyone in the shop was taken aback by what they heard.
What's so special about a mere beauty salon?
However, since Zhao Liangyi had spoken, those present naturally had no objections.
The group of people immediately got up and walked outside.
