"Let's watch Four Master's side closely; I'm sure she's already aware of what's happening in the North District. If she doesn't act, neither will we. Let Yan Juanjuan and the others solve the Northern Palace issue themselves. Where is Yan Fengying now?"
"She's been taken away, probably detained at the North District Police Station."
"It seems like our North District Police Station hasn't been renovated for a long ti, doesn't it!" Yao Zheng's comnt made Ji Weihua imdiately understand his aning.
"I'll take care of it right away."
Now, wherever Mu Rongyun is, Wu Shuang will be there too. The two are inseparable.
"Where did all this co from?" Wu Shuang picked up a piece of bone and sniffed it, only for Mu Rongyun to quickly knock it away.
"Bones buried like these release harmful gases; slling them isn't good for your health."
Wu Shuang stuck her tongue out at Xiao Lin; she felt like a prisoner, constantly being watched and restricted.
"He's doing it for your good, don't be stubborn." Xiao Lin chuckled and patted Wu Shuang's hair. Mu Rongyun took good care of her; she looked sickly two days ago, but now her hair was nourished and shinier. "Nutritional supplents are necessary, but excessive intake can burden her, accelerating toxin absorption. I'll prescribe her so dicine for you to brew her."
Mu Rongyun gave him a glance but said nothing, continuing to examine a pile of bones. Honestly, this collection of bones was aningless to him; it was just wasting ti.
"You're not going to give so kind of traditional dicine, are you?"
"It would benefit you by regulating your body functions; constitution is very important."
"I won't drink it."
"You must!"
"You must!"
Her protests were completely overruled, and Wu Shuang grudgingly pouted.
Xu Ming walked out of the interrogation room, helplessly throwing the case file onto the table. The reality was much more difficult than he had imagined, and Yan Fengying was just an unreasonable shrew, causing a scene and refusing to answer any questions, only demanding to see a lawyer.
"What's wrong?"
"Lao Xu finally t his match." Shi Shuai also walked out of the interrogation with a frustrated look, despite jesting about Xu Ming, he sulked while drinking water.
The North District Police Station underwent a makeshift renovation, rearranging its layout and adding more tables and chairs for case handling. Those who ca along with Xu Ming pulled out all old cases to re-examine them, assigning the forr police officers to organize the files. Those neighbors who treated the police station as their backyard began to realize the importance of the restricted area, which led to fewer gawkers and reduced opportunities for troublemakers.
"That woman is downright crazy!" Xu Ming kicked the desk leg; he had seen his share of fierce won, but none as irrational as this one.
"Help the forensic doctor organize the bones; I'll handle this woman."
Yan Fengying was now their sole wildcard. Guo Guo seed spooked over Hong's incident, having run off sowhere. They awaited Guard's report; this setback severed clues regarding the night Xiao i was killed. No one knew what truly happened, but Xiao Lin intuitively felt Guo Guo witnessed everything, prompting her fear.
Yan Fengying waved her hands dismissively in the dank, humid air of the detention facility, near the central lake, leaving the room cold and musty due to accumulated mold. Not even ntioning cleanliness, pests were inevitable.
Bothered by pesky insects, Yan Fengying muttered. "Manager Yan, how are you coping in here?" Xiao Lin entered from outside; for soone accustod to luxury, this environnt was unbearable.
"It's you!"
"It's ." Xiao Lin settled into a chair outside the cell, smiling through the bars at Yan Fengying. "This place is far inferior compared to the City Police Departnt, and worse than your Northern Palace."
"Why have you arrested ?" Yan Fengying rushed to the iron gate, clutching the bars. "I demand to see my lawyer; otherwise, I won't say a word."
"You don't have to talk, I can still contact your lawyer. But Manager Yan, do you think anyone will save you now?" Xiao Lin leisurely pulled out a cigarette, choosing a new brand he liked, albeit milder in aroma.
"I'm innocent; you have no reason to arrest ."
"Are you responsible for the Northern Palace?"
"I'm rely a manager there, not the owner. Dead bones have nothing to do with ; you should catch the real culprit, not wrongfully arrest an innocent person." Yan Fengying grew more agitated, shaking the iron gate loudly.
Looking at this scene, it's no wonder soone as good-tempered as Xu Ming would be provoked. This woman is practically a noise-making machine. Xiao Lin picked at his ear; he automatically filtered out such noise, listening only to what he wanted.
"I just recorded what you said. You're not the person in charge of the North Palace, are you?"
"I..." Yan Fengying watched Xiao Lin shake the phone in his hand, and after pressing a button, it replayed what she had just said aloud.
"This is your voice, isn't it? If the North Palace is not your property, then it belongs to the state. It was you who relinquished your ownership; no one forced you."
"You... you're a bastard."
Xiao Lin calmly accepted Yan Fengying's accusation. This woman had no legal knowledge, and his probing statent easily exposed her weakness. A woman like her, with no upbringing, wouldn't have much cultural literacy.
"Yan Fengying, now that you're here, you better cooperate. Whether you admit it or not, the result remains the sa. The fact is that human bones were found in your store. Once we reconstruct the figure using high-tech thods, if you confess then, it will be too late."
"Who are you trying to scare? You think you can reconstruct a human form with just those bones?"
"Believe it or not, but I always an what I say. That's my personality. You might choose not to speak now, but I guarantee that the days ahead will be tough for you," Xiao Lin deliberately leaned down towards her. "Oh, don't forget, you're in the police station, not the North Palace. You think your backer will co to save you? Ha... Is Yao Zheng such a person? Consider yourself lucky if he doesn't want you dead."
"You..." Yan Fengying's arrogance imdiately subsided by half. Whether it was Xiao Lin's words having an effect or a certain keyword intimidating her, her open mouth snapped shut.
Xiao Lin stood up, returned the chair to its original position, and walked out of the detention center with his hands behind his back.
"So, did she talk?" Xu Ming waited outside. Xiao Lin hadn't been in for long, but it felt like an eternity to Xu Ming, and he had heard Yan Fengying's shouts. How co it suddenly got quiet?
"Haha, no, she didn't say anything. But I have a way to make her talk." Xiao Lin chuckled. Hua Qingyi, walking in through the front door, clearly caught sight of Xiao Lin's smile, suddenly feeling a chill.
"Why are you smiling like that?" To outsiders, it might seem normal, but Hua Qingyi knew Xiao Lin must have co up with so mischievous idea, hoping it wasn't one of them who had offended him.
"Nothing. Let's go to the lobby first and hear the news you brought back." Xiao Lin hooked an arm around Xu Ming, clearly in a much better mood than when he went in.
"Soone with the surna Shen under Yao Zheng is the head of the North District Planning Departnt. He was likely involved in the entire process during Hengfei Group's establishnt, and the Xia Family was involved in the land auction back then, which should be the land case from that ti."
"Xia Yusheng's land case?"
Hua Qingyi nodded. "The key isn't who used the land but that the municipal committee allocated funds for construction, which were never used as intended. The people forcibly evicted back then are now in that shanty town."
"Wow, heavens!" Shi Shuai couldn't help but exclaim. "That was such a large sum, just gone like that. This is way too bold."
"Officer Xu, we're going to trouble you with so work again."
"Captain, just tell us what to do, and we'll make it happen." After the North Palace incident, Xu Ming and others highly respected Xiao Lin, feeling they had followed the right person.
"Secretly investigate the inside story of those forced evictions in that area at the ti, and find the people who are still here to understand the situation, collecting as much information as possible."
"Got it, I guarantee the task will be completed. But what about Yan Fengying?"
"Heh heh!" Another round of laughter made Hua Qingyi's scalp tingle. "You guys co over here." He beckoned them over, their heads huddled together, discussing sothing quietly while Wu Shuang, standing to the side, curiously tried to eavesdrop, only to be stopped by Mu Rongyun.
"Don't do dangerous things."
In a short while, they had pieced together a leg bone according to the texture from the remains. Seeing this, Wu Shuang's attention was completely drawn to him. "How did you do that?"
The fractured pieces were almost unrecognizable, yet in Mu Rongyun's hands, they seed miraculously restored. "I..."
"We can't, it's ti. We need to go."
"But there's still so much..."
"Understood!" Mu Rongyun replied, which seed to be their way of communicating.
The parties involved didn't feel anything, but those around them found it quite eerie. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welco to vote for recomndations and monthly votes on Qidian. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
