Chapter 415: Chapter 414: Slander with Malice
The order to arrest Wang Yan was imdiately passed down throughout the city. Although so officers questioned Zhang Lin’s order, with Yellow Dragon and Su Yamo missing, Zhang Lin beca the highest-ranking officer at the mont, and thus nobody could correct his order.
In less than half a day, this order spread throughout Wanghai City. All officers were aware that Wang Yan had kidnapped Yellow Dragon and Su Yamo, and they began the search for Wang Yan, fully ard.
At this mont, Wang Yan, along with Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting, was still at the dock.
Beiming Xue asked anxiously, “Brother Wang Yan, can you find those black-caped individuals?”
Wang Yan shook his head and said, “Those black-caped individuals are well-trained and should have fled to the sea by now. The ocean’s scent has diluted Su Yamo’s aura, so even I can’t sense her presence anymore.”
Ouyang Feiting said anxiously, “So what should we do?”
Wang Yan said, “We only have one lead now.”
Upon hearing of a lead, Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting looked up at Wang Yan excitedly and asked, “What lead?”
Wang Yan raised his hand, clutching two items in his hand.
One was a square pai gow tile, and the other was a round chip with four characters engraved on it: “Wealthy’s Playground.”
“Wealthy’s Playground? What is this place?” Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting asked in confusion.
Wang Yan said, “If I’m not mistaken, it should be a casino. I found these two items in the ho of a deceased man. When he was killed, he was clutching both items. Moreover, the deceased’s ho was very poor. I suspect that the reason for his murder was his gambling debt.”
Beiming Xue imdiately said happily, “So, Director Huang and Director Su were also kidnapped by this casino? As long as we find this place called Wealthy’s Playground, we can rescue them.”
Ouyang Feiting frowned and said, “But where exactly is this Wealthy’s Playground?”
Wang Yan said, “We don’t know, but the constables should know.”
Beiming Xue said, “Alright, let’s head to the police station now.”
Inside Wanghai Police Station.
Zhang Lin was sitting in the station, anxiously waiting for news from various locations. Although he had dispatched countless officers, there was still no information on Wang Yan.
While Zhang Lin was anxious and irritable, suddenly, he saw an officer burst into the office, gasping for breath.
Zhang Lin was delighted and quickly asked, “Have you caught Wang Yan?”
The officer was panting heavily but shook his head.
Zhang Lin angrily said, “If you haven’t found him, why are you here? Go search quickly.”
At this mont, the officer finally caught his breath and said, “We haven’t caught him, but Wang Yan ca himself.”
“What? He ca on his own? Where is he?” Zhang Lin hurriedly stood up.
“Right outside the police station,” the officer said.
“Notify all officers imdiately to arrest Wang Yan,” Zhang Lin shouted triumphantly.
Wang Yan, Beiming Xue, and Ouyang Feiting were standing outside the police station when suddenly, the gates opened and dozens of officers rushed out, surrounding the trio.
Beiming Xue saw this and furrowed her brows slightly, saying, “Why do they look like they’re here to catch soone?”
Before Beiming Xue’s voice had faded, Zhang Lin’s laughter echoed from within the police station: “Of course, we’re here to catch a criminal, but it’s definitely not you two. This criminal is Wang Yan.”
With these words, Zhang Lin walked out proudly from the police station, hands on his hips, gazing at Wang Yan and said, “Wang Yan, you didn’t expect to fall into my hands so quickly, did you?”
Wang Yan shook his head slightly and said, “With Yellow Dragon and Constable Su kidnapped, I didn’t expect you’d still be fixated on personal grudges.”
Zhang Lin raised an eyebrow and said, “I’m arresting you to find Director Huang, because Director Huang and Director Su were kidnapped by you.”
Wang Yan said calmly, “What’s your evidence?”
Zhang Lin said, “What more evidence do I need? You’re so clear about the whereabouts of the black-caped people, so they must be under your command.”
Wang Yan said, “I know the whereabouts of the black-caped people purely from observation.”
Zhang Lin shook his head and said, “Wang Yan, do you take for a three-year-old? If you’re so capable, can you see what I’ve done today?”
Hearing this, all the officers looked at Wang Yan.
Although Zhang Lin clearly intended to challenge Wang Yan, everyone was curious to see if Wang Yan could guess what Zhang Lin had done today.
Wang Yan smiled faintly and said, “Are you sure you want to say?”
Zhang Lin glared and said, “Say it, I want to see if you can actually tell! If you can’t, then everything you’ve said so far is false, proving that you are the master of the black-caped individuals.”
Wang Yan snorted coldly and said, “Last night you didn’t go ho, you spent the night at a hotel with a woman, about 1.55 ters tall, with short light blonde hair.”
At this point, all the officers shook their heads secretly, because they all knew Zhang Lin wasn’t married, not even a girlfriend, so how could he be with a woman?
However, as the officers looked at Zhang Lin, they were all stunned because they saw Zhang Lin’s eyes widen in surprise.
“Could Wang Yan be telling the truth?”
“Did Captain Zhang really spend the night with a woman yesterday?”
…
The officers’ suspicion was not wrong, Wang Yan was indeed accurate. Last night, Zhang Lin really went to a hotel with a woman. Hearing Wang Yan describe it in such detail, Zhang Lin looked at Wang Yan as if he were a ghost. He even felt a little afraid, wondering if Wang Yan had followed him the previous night with such precise details.
While Zhang Lin was pondering, he noticed the officers’ gazes on him and imdiately snapped back, hurriedly shouting, “Nonsense…”
But before Zhang Lin could finish, Wang Yan interrupted him, saying, “The buttons on your collar and cuffs each have a strand of short yellow hair from that woman last night. Also, there’s a hint of a woman’s perfu on your clothes. Moreover, your clothing hasn’t been changed, inside or out, so you didn’t go ho but straight to the hotel.”
At this, all the officers looked at Zhang Lin with peculiar expressions, realizing Zhang Lin, who claid not to have a girlfriend, was secretly dating one.
The officers had no doubt, but Zhang Lin, who had been trying to pursue Beiming Xue or Ouyang Feiting, couldn’t possibly admit to any involvent with another woman and said, “Nonsense, I was alone last night.”
Wang Yan nodded and said, “That’s right, although you both went to the hotel together, for so reason, the woman left first. This is why I deduced she was 1.55 ters tall because when she left, she slapped you in the face, and the slap mark was at the height a 1.55-ter-tall woman could reach.”
Hearing this, Zhang Lin quickly covered his left cheek. Although the officers didn’t see a slap mark, Zhang Lin’s action indicated Wang Yan was entirely correct.
Moreover, all officers mimicked Wang Yan’s tone in their minds: From Zhang Lin’s action, we can deduce the woman hit the left cheek yesterday.
For a mont, all around, the officers started to chuckle one after another.
Zhang Lin couldn’t help but fly into a rage out of humiliation, pulling out his gun and pointing it at Wang Yan, shouting, “Wang Yan, you’re slandering !”
