Chapter 43: Young Hero Bravely Fights Against Villains
"I'm not arguing about that right now, four people who came in with you are dead. You are a suspect, a major suspect!" Ye Xin pointed at Tang Rao and said.
I don't believe this has nothing to do with you.
In this world, how could such coincidences occur.
"What does this have to do with me? I don't even know them," Tang Rao retorted.
"Bullshit, last night during the interrogation, you said you wanted these four people to treat you to drinks for a month, how can you say you don't know them!" Ye Xin thought Tang Rao was utterly shameless and capable of vehement denial.
"Yes, I did say that. But that doesn't mean I know these people, right? I just wanted them to treat me to drinks, after all, they damaged my Koenigsegg. Think about it, my Koenigsegg is worth thirty million, do you think I would be willing to let them just die? If something happens to them, who am I going to get compensation from?" Tang Rao ranted on.
His reasoning was logical and seamless, with no loopholes to be found.
"Tang Rao!!"
"If you don't believe me, go and listen to the recording, we are a society governed by law, we need to pay attention to that. You are the guardians of the people, you can't falsely accuse me of a crime!" Tang Rao said with a laugh, not caring at all about Ye Xin's utterly displeased expression.
"Bring him out, I want to interrogate him now!" Ye Xin yelled at the police nearby.
Wei Zhensheng didn't speak; Ye Xin, as the youngest daughter of the Ye Family, although only a squadron leader, truly possessed more power than even him, the bureau chief.
If she is displeased with Tang Rao, then let her deal with Tang Rao.
Better for him to stay out of it.
"Hey, you guys are police, can you be more professional!" Tang Rao rolled his eyes.
"Have you investigated the identities of these four people? What if they are fugitive criminals? What if they are gang members? What if they are international assassins? Interrogating us without knowing anything, isn't that a bit too abrupt!" Tang Rao rambled on.
Tang Rao made some sense, but Ye Xin didn't want to accept it, I just want to interrogate you!
"Captain Ye, the facial recognition of the four individuals is out, you… you take a look…" Suddenly, a young police officer came over with a pad, speaking to Ye Xin.
Ye Xin frowned, then took the pad.
On the tablet, there were photos of the four deceased individuals, along with the matching information found in the database.
The more Ye Xin looked, the more alarmed she became, her mouth gaping open.
All four individuals, they were all assassins from the Dark Net!
Collectively known as the Four Saints, each one exceptionally skilled, always acting together. On the world top assassin list of the Dark Net, they ranked very high, floating around the top twenty.
These individuals had completed many assassinations and had never failed.
Unexpectedly today, they mysteriously died here in the detention center of the Public Security Bureau.
"Captain Ye, last night's surveillance video has been screened, there's no anomaly. The cameras weren't tampered with, everything is normal," someone shouted from nearby.
Ye Xin took a deep breath, turned around, and walked towards the surveillance station outside the detention room.
Ye Xin stared at the video for half an hour, playing it slow, zooming in and out, but found no issues.
Those four guys were moving around at around 1 a.m., and after one, they leaned against the wall as if they had fallen asleep.
But, perhaps, by that time they were already dead.
But, nothing happened in the detention room, everyone was asleep.
Tang Rao and Ye Xiaobai too, they laid on the hardwood benches until they got up this morning.
No one else had come to the detention room from outside.
That is to say, the four people were silently killed.
Don't say it's a natural death, that's an insult to intelligence.
"Ye Xin, first set up a special investigation team." Wei Zhensheng finally spoke at this point.
This matter indeed has issues. Tang Rao and Ye Xiaobai do indeed have suspicions, but that is all they are—mere suspicions, and without evidence, there is nothing that can be done.
Even if there were evidence, he, as the head of the district bureau, would not dare to handle it rashly.
After all, one is the third son of the Ye Family, and the other is the only son of Tang Renwang.
Whichever it is, he would neither want to touch nor is able to touch.
"Understood, Chief," Ye Xin replied after a silence of two seconds, nodding in agreement.
Soon, the special security evacuated, and the detention room returned to calm.
Tang Rao chuckled, while a chill surged in Ye Xiaobai's heart.
He realized that he hadn't underestimated Tang Rao; he had completely misjudged him.
Starting from getting in the car last night, everything seemed to be under this guy's control. This kind of strategic ability, even Ye Xiaobai himself could only sigh in admiration from afar.
"Xiao Bai, could you get your Uncle Cha to come here?" Tang Rao suddenly asked.
"Sure." Ye Xiaobai thought for a moment and nodded.
Tang Rao didn't know how Ye Xiaobai contacted Uncle Cha, nor did he want to probe; everyone has their little secrets, after all.
Anyway, an hour later, Uncle Cha arrived at the detention room through the normal procedures.
"Young Master, nothing serious happened, right?" Uncle Cha still looked somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected Ye Xiaobai to be in the Security Bureau, and moreover, to be detained.
This news, if spread, might become the subject of ridicule.
"It's fine," Ye Xiaobai shook his head, not seeming very emotional.
"Uncle Cha, right? Could you do something for me?" Tang Rao asked, smiling at Uncle Cha.
"Just do as Tang Rao says," Uncle Cha was just about to speak when Ye Xiaobai spoke.
"Understood," Uncle Cha scrutinized Tang Rao with a look, and finally nodded.
"Last night, four people died in this detention room, probably assassins or the like. You can ask Wei Zhensheng for details; it shouldn't be hard with the Ye Family's capability. Then, make the identities of these four men public, post it online. I've even thought of the headline for you: 'Brave Young Man Stops Criminals, Wrongly Imprisoned.'" Tang Rao grinned, showing his white teeth.
Uncle Cha was somewhat bewildered, and as for Ye Xiaobai, a chill ran through his heart.
A battle for public opinion, seizing the high ground in public discourse, this move Ye Xiaobai could only describe in two words: Clever! Sinister!
"Don't ask why, just do it," Tang Rao, seeing Uncle Cha about to speak, directly interrupted him.
"Uncle Cha, just fully commit to doing it," Ye Xiaobai nodded.
Given the instruction from Ye Xiaobai, Uncle Cha didn't waste any words, bowed to Ye Xiaobai, and left directly.
"Now, we are truly allies," Tang Rao suddenly clapped Ye Xiaobai on the shoulder, smiling brilliantly.
Seeing Tang Rao's smile, Ye Xiaobai's heart jolted sharply again.
He suddenly understood the deeper purpose of Tang Rao having Uncle Cha handle this matter.
It's being handled by your Ye Family; when the truth comes out, it will be your Ye Family that takes the blame.
"You see, if I wanted to point the finger at you, you would still be in trouble," Tang Rao said to Ye Xiaobai.
Ye Xiaobai held the chip of having killed Lu Dingjia, which greatly annoyed Tang Rao, so he too had to create some leverage of his own over Ye Xiaobai.
Clearly, he succeeded.
