Li Hao lit a cigarette and took his time puffing on it.
âI guess he might be upset because weâre leading the investigation, so he wants to win some face for the Xinshan branch office.â
âThereâs nothing he can do about it; our individual abilities are indeed stronger than theirs. Saying things like that is totally meaningless,â Zhou Min said.
âTheyâre outsiders; they donât know your capabilities. Itâs not unreasonable for them to act like this. When itâs time to move, both of you need to be on your game and show them what professionalism looks like.â
âUnderstood, Brother Jun.â
âActually, I think heâll get a taste during the interrogation,â Zhou Min said confidently, âHe insisted on calling the suspect over, and if they donât get anything out of it, the embarrassment will be on them.â
âHa haâ¦â Li Hao burst out laughing, âThatâs why Iâm prepared to watch a good show, and if I get the chance, Iâll teach him a lesson.â
âThen letâs enjoy it together,â Xu Jun said with a smile, âWeâre free anyway.â
Given that the urban area wasnât large, it took less than twenty minutes for the woman named Wu Jinyu to arrive at the Longhu Branch and be taken to the interrogation room.

Li Hao and his team entered the break room, opened the door, and said to Lin Yi:
âWu Jinyu is here, go take a look.â
âAlright.â
Lin Yi responded, and the four of them left the break room, joining Li Haoâs team at the interrogation room.
Wu Jinyu wasnât very old, in her forties, with a short hairstyle and dressed very plainly.
Seeing so many people suddenly appear in the interrogation room, Wu Jinyuâs eyes darted away, extremely nervous.
âYou called me here, is there something else you want to ask?â Wu Jinyu said tearfully, âOfficer, Iâve told you everything I know. It was also my carelessness that lost the two children, but I definitely didnât do it on purpose. You must believe me, and I donât mind how you investigate; I am innocent.â
âJust calm down; we havenât started yet.â
Li Hao then looked at Lin Yi.
âOfficer Lin, weâve brought her in. If you have any questions, start now. Weâve reviewed it three times already and havenât found any useful information. I hope you can make a breakthrough.â
Zhou Min chuckled on the side.
Brother Hao found no useful clues; how could he?
âIâll do my best,â Lin Yi said calmly, not taking Li Haoâs sarcasm to heart.
âYou two should study hard. Heâs come from Zhong Hai. Since he dared to request another interrogation, he must have exceptional skills. Cherish this opportunity, got it!â Xu Jun said with a mock seriousness.
But it was clear to everyone that he was being sarcastic.
âDonât worry, Brother Jun; weâll definitely learn with an open mind,â Li Hao laughed, âPeople from a big city are certainly more skilled than us; theyâll definitely find other leads, and we wonât waste this chance.â
Zhang Peng and Zhang Zixin exchanged glances. This group spoke in a weird tone, and without realizing it, they had pushed Lin Bro into a corner.
If no new information came out, they would face their mockery.
Lin Yi glanced indifferently at Li Hao and the others, said nothing more, and turned to look at Wu Jinyu.
âLet me explain the situation to you; for the crime youâve now committed, you could be sentenced to death at the most. However, if you confess honestly and seek leniency, the consequences wonât be that severe. But itâs up to you how you want to deal with this.â
Li Hao shook his head helplessly on the side and whispered to Xu Jun:
âThis kind of intimidation and bribery, Iâm too disdainful to use, and yet heâs still pulling this trick. I want to laugh just watching.â
âI knew he wasnât as good as you, but I didnât expect him to be this lousy. I thought he might bring something new to the table, but itâs still the same old routine. Not impressive at all.â
âJust consider it entertainment; weâre free anyway.â
On the other side, Wu Jinyu remained unmoved.
Clearly, this tactic was no longer effective on her.
During the previous rounds of interrogation, people from the Longhu Branch had already used this method, and she had become immune, showing no emotional fluctuations.
âI really didnât do anything; I was just careless when I went to buy rice noodles for them. I turned around to find the two children gone. I admit it was my negligence, and Iâll bear the corresponding responsibility, but I truly didnât harm them intentionally. You canât judge me like this.â
âSince you wonât admit it, weâll just have to move to another location. This place isnât convenient for such proceedings.â
Hearing this, the others in the room were taken aback, unsure of what Lin Yi planned to do next.
And the most panicked person, naturally, was Wu Jinyu.
All the previous interrogations took place within the branch office, and now they intended to take her somewhere else, which made her increasingly anxious.
âWhere⦠where are you taking me?â
âA special place to interrogate you. Letâs go.â
After saying that, Lin Yi looked at Ma Xinglong.
âCaptain Ma, could you remove her handcuffs and shackles? I plan to take her out for a bit.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThis⦠thisâ¦â
Ma Xinglong hesitated for a moment, looking somewhat troubled.
âIt doesnât seem to be proper procedure. According to the rules, we can only conduct interrogation within the branch office, not at other locations.â
Wu Jinyu let out a huge sigh of relief, feeling like she had narrowly escaped disaster.
âIf thatâs the case, weâll conduct the interrogation here, but we still need to remove her handcuffs and shackles.â
Ma Xinglong and his team didnât understand the reasoning, but they complied anyway.
âDapeng, keep her in check and follow me up to the fourth floor,â Lin Yi whispered.
âGot it, Lin Bro.â
Zhang Peng controlled Wu Jinyu and followed Lin Yiâs steps up to the fourth floor.
Ma Xinglongâs team, unclear about the situation, followed to see what Lin Yi was up to.
Wu Jinyu shivered with each step, feeling incredibly heavy.
The man before her gave off a terrifying presence, making one afraid with just one glance.
Although the others were also intimidating, with vicious looks in their eyes, none were like him.
Lin Yi brought Wu Jinyu in front of the window, staring directly at her.
âWeâve already found other clues about this case, and weâre about to go handle it, so we donât have much time to waste on you. At this point, if youâre still not willing to talk, you might not have many chances left.â
Wu Jinyu turned pale, trembling.
âThis really has nothing to do with me; you have to believe me.â
Lin Yi didnât waste any more words and opened the window, throwing Wu Jinyu out.
