How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?! Chapter 71 - 71 71 A Little Trap

71: Chapter 71 A Little Trap 71: Chapter 71 A Little Trap However, Li Yufeng never admitted to poisoning intentionally, portraying herself as a victim, with every interrogation session akin to a pitiable little flower fluttering in the storm.

Several rounds of interrogation went by, and the police had no breakthrough.

And her detention period was almost up.

When the ti ca, if there were no new solid evidences, the police would have to release her.

Zhou i had been busy with this matter over the past few days.

She did not want to see a criminal escape the law, nor did she want to see Lin Xiaosu’s analysis against Du Lifeng of Dell Company remain forever unverified.

But that’s just how a legal society works; everything must be based on evidence!

Without evidence, there is no conviction.

Captain Zhang nodded lightly: “He is back!”

Zhou i’s heart skipped a beat—who is ‘he’?

Captain Zhang gently pushed, turning the computer screen to reveal a tracking map…

Zhou i was all too familiar with the tracked device—it was her car, and the location was in Fengcheng!

This little rascal, finally back!

Two days and two nights, I was tornted by you…

oh, no!

My heart was tornted by you, what has it beco?

Constantly speculating about what had happened to you, unable to enjoy food, nor sleep, and now you are finally back!

All the worries and frustrations within Zhou i vanished in an instant.

“I really want to know what he’s been up to during these two days and two nights of disappearance,” said Chief Zhang.

Zhou i was in high spirits: “Then use the tactics you had back in the day that scared suspects into wetting their pants to interrogate him directly!”

Chief Zhang stroked his newly grown beard as he looked at Zhou i: “Direct interrogation isn’t appropriate.

Perhaps we could use so honey trap or sothing…”

Zhou i caught the look in Chief Zhang’s eyes: “Really?

Captain Zhang, are you planning to give half a day off to engage in a honey trap?”

“A day off?

Don’t even think about mixing personal affairs with official duties.” Chief Zhang pointed at the screen: “He’s co to us voluntarily!”

The position on the computer no longer moved; the last location was the Criminal Investigation Team office.

Around five minutes later, the office door was gently knocked…

Zhou i sprang up, opened the door, and there was Lin Xiaosu outside…

“These past two days…” Zhou i’s voice suddenly stopped, her gaze fixed on the person behind Lin Xiaosu.

Behind him stood Chang Ye.

“Officer Chang!”

With a swish, Captain Zhang ca to the door, hand raised in salute: “Officer Chang!”

Chang Ye, Chief Zhang had t him once before.

When was that?

The first ti Chang Ye ca to the Fengcheng Police Departnt, landing on the rooftop, he was one of the duo that welcod him.

He was unclear about the identity of Chang Ye, but he vaguely guessed so parts, and later, the Chief relayed Chang Ye’s instructions, assigning a female officer to accompany the investigation.

It was Chief Zhang himself who carried out the order by selecting Zhou i.

Chang Ye raised his hand lightly: “Today, I’m not the main character.

I’m just accompanying Detective Lin on his case.”

Entering, he closed the office door with his backhand.

Chief Zhang welcod Chang Ye and Lin Xiaosu to sit on the sofa in the office, and Zhou i served tea.

“Zhou i, take a seat as well!” said Chang Ye.

Zhou i and Chief Zhang sat on another row of sofas.

“I ca here today because of an interesting incident that happened just after I returned,” Lin Xiaosu said, lifting his teacup.

“Interesting?” Chief Zhang was slightly startled.

“Yes, interesting.

It happened just at the boundary of Sanli River, beneath the Yueshui Villa, as I was rounding the mountain bend.

A car careened down from above, nearly causing a horrendous car accident.”

Zhou i’s face suddenly altered.

Lin Xiaosu’s gaze shifted to her: “Don’t worry, not a hair on your car is missing.

I avoided it.”

“Since when do cars grow hair!” Zhou i glared at him: “Am I worried about the car?”

Chief Zhang’s eyes lifted: “You call this incident…

interesting?”

“Yes, pretty interesting!” Lin Xiaosu said: “There are three interesting points.

First, we just checked this car, and the owner’s na is Lu Lin, an employee at Dell Company!”

Chief Zhang’s expression turned grim.

“The second point is…

just after such a dangerous scene unfolded, we saw the traffic police right away.

Do you know who this policeman is?”

Chief Zhang asked: “Who?”

“Zhou Yuanqing!

The forr deputy director of the West City Police Station.

I specifically called you last ti to check on him.

So, what?

Did you transfer him into the traffic police team?”

Chief Zhang nodded lightly: “I reported him to the chief, who also conducted a review, and the findings weren’t good.

Hence, he was transferred to the traffic police team, which amounted to a demotion…

Are you suggesting that his appearance there is too coincidental?”

“Do you, Captain Zhang, not find it a bit too convenient?”

Chief Zhang’s expression beca somber.

The traffic police team was always short-staffed, so roadside checks were rare.

The idea that you could nearly have a traffic accident and then imdiately spot a traffic cop, how serendipitous is that?

But…

Captain Zhang mused, “But there’s sothing illogical about this.

If the car accident was deliberately planned, what’s the point of Zhou Yuanqing being at the scene?

Under the watch of the police and in view of the police body caras, wouldn’t it be harder to hide their criminal traces?”

“The significance of being at the scene could be to follow up if the initial plan fails!”

“What follow-up?”

“For instance, catching red-handed for unlicensed driving, causing a traffic accident, and detaining for 15 days!”

Zhou i’s heart skipped a beat…

Unlicensed driving, the thunder had finally exploded.

But…

“That reason seems far-fetched!” Zhou i said.

“Unlicensed driving isn’t a cri itself, just a violation.

Are you saying they went to all this trouble just to catch you for a violation?”

Indeed, Chief Zhang and Chang Ye didn’t understand either.

People from the governnt certainly have ways to retaliate, especially law enforcent agencies like theirs.

If you offend them, they can catch you red-handed and deal with you using ironclad regulations.

It was inevitable that Lin Xiaosu would offend Zhou Yuanqing.

A deputy station chief demoted to a traffic cop by a single sentence—how could he not want revenge?

Impossible.

But this kind of retaliation…

wasn’t it a bit childish?

At most, it would just detain Lin Xiaosu for 15 days, causing him no real harm but just to annoy him.

“You should focus on the detention for 15 days!” Lin Xiaosu said.

“What do you an?”

Lin Xiaosu said, “I rember soone else is also detained for 15 days, Li Yufeng.

She was arrested 12 days ago, detained for 15 days, so she’s due for release in three days, right?”

Captain Zhang’s heart jerked…

Zhou i’s eyes lit up: “You an, soone doesn’t want you causing trouble during her release period?

So, they’ve gone to great lengths to keep you from interfering?”

Lin Xiaosu said, “Another point, if…

I’m just saying if, if Li Yufeng is killed as soon as she’s released from detention, by the ti I’ve served a full 15 days and co out, it’s very likely that any traces have been eroded by ti.

Even with extraordinary ans, I wouldn’t be able to find the real culprit!”

Zhou i’s face changed…

She seed to have sorted out all the links…

Li Yufeng was about to be released because the police couldn’t find any new evidence, and by law, they had to release her.

Once she was released, those behind the scenes would kill her.

If Lin Xiaosu was around, they wouldn’t dare act since his investigative thods were too mysterious, and no one dared to gamble.

But what if Lin Xiaosu’s freedom was restricted?

By the ti he completed 15 days, all the traces would have been effaced by ti, and the true culprit would be able to protect themselves to the greatest extent…

This was the real aning behind his repeated emphasis on “detention for 15 days.”

This was the real mystery behind the first thing that happened upon his return to Fengcheng today.

First, they staged a car accident.

Success would naturally be a cause for celebration—killing Lin Xiaosu once and for all, or if not dead, an injured Lin Xiaosu sent to the ergency room would suffice to achieve their goal.

As for the costs, do you think Dell Company would care about so compensation for injury?

Even if the car accident failed, they had follow-up plans.

They seized upon Lin Xiaosu’s “fatal flaw” of unlicensed driving to detain him for 15 days with no legal barriers.

And these 15 days of detention created a safe period for soone else…

What seed like a mundane car mishap on the highway and a car inspection, once unfolded by Lin Xiaosu through three points of interest, revealed an intricate mystery.

Chang Ye was a bit stunned; she knew nothing about the Li Yufeng case, nor did she ever think that today’s minor incident of traveling in the sa vehicle would have such great implications hidden within.

“The Li Yufeng case!” Captain Zhang gently punched his fist on the coffee table in front of him, sowhat frustrated: “It’s almost impossible to make a breakthrough in this case within three days!

Whether we like it or not, we’ll probably have to release her after three days.”

“Not necessarily!” Lin Xiaosu smiled faintly: “There’s an unconventional thod worth trying!”

“What?” Captain Zhang and Zhou i’s eyes glead simultaneously.

“People, after all, can’t escape human nature.

Let’s set a trap for her and see…”

After so discussion…

The three people in the office looked at each other…

After a long silence, Captain Zhang let out a long breath: “Little Su, this thod is indeed unconventional; let’s give it a try!”

Li Yufeng faced her seventh interrogation.

After being detained for twelve days, most people would be dispirited and haggard, but Miss Li was extraordinary, turning the detention center into a hotel stay.

She looked as fresh as a stunning beauty who had just spent a few days holidaying in a cabin.

Even in the dimly lit interrogation room, even facing the police representing the authority of the law, she remained flirtatious.

Sitting across from her were Zhou i and Sun Yang.

Of course, she didn’t know that on the outside, three people were watching the interrogation live through caras—Captain Zhang, Chang Ye, and Lin Xiaosu.

Normally, Lin Xiaosu wouldn’t have qualified to observe the interrogation, but with Chang Ye present, everything changed.

“Li Yufeng, what is your relationship with the boss of Dell Company, Du Lifeng?” Zhou i asked.

Li Yufeng said, “Officer, you already asked this question last ti, and I’ve made it clear that I don’t know Du Lifeng.”

“No, you’re lying!” Zhou i said sternly, “You were instructed by Du Lifeng to drag Wang Changfa into the mire, using this to control Wang Changfa and promote the drug base project’s cooperation with Dell Company.

Isn’t that right?”
