Chapter 2169: Chapter 2169: 2170: You Can Kill People Without Breaking the Law?

Hearing this, no one made a sound.

This kind of operation was also new to them.

“Are you in a partnership, or is it a superior-subordinate relationship?”

“It’s a superior-subordinate relationship,” Zhou Li said,

“After we bring the children back, we’ll do the handover here. We make sure everything is okay before sending them to Permanent Village. It’s safer that way.”

Lin Yi fiddled with his phone, found Dong Wanjia’s photo, and placed it before Zhou Li.

“There’s a similar case in Zhong Hai, this is the photo. Do you recognize it?”

Zhou Li looked carefully, “No.”

“You said that all the people you catch are brought here for transfer, how can you not remember?”

Seeing that Lin Yi’s voice had become colder, Zhou Li was scared.

He had already experienced this man’s ruthless methods and did not want to try them again.

“There might be special cases. The person you mentioned might be a local and handed over to the local buyers.”

“You think we don’t understand anything?” Lin Yi’s brows furrowed, “You sell people caught in Zhong Hai to the locals?”

“No no no, I’m not lying. There might be special circumstances, but I really don’t know the details. I’m just a small-time thug.”

Lin Yi turned around, stopped asking others, and said to Gu Yiran,

“Call the local police station, ask them to send some people over to watch these guys. The faster the better. We need to hurry to Permanent Village; I reckon that’s their main base.”

“I’m worried these guys might play tricks,” Gu Yiran said cautiously.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“If they dare to play tricks, when I come back, I’ll kill them. They shouldn’t have the guts.”

Lin Yi’s casual tone made Zhou Li and others gasp in shock.

Are these words meant for humans to speak!

You think murder is not a crime?

“Then let’s do as you say.”

Lin Yi turned his head and glanced at Li Hao and Zhou Min, “What are you waiting for? Call people!”

Li Hao straightened his expression and Zhou Min’s face also appeared a bit unnatural.

Their thunder had been stolen by Lin Yi, and neither was in high spirits.

Today’s events were supposed to be led by them, yet their spotlight was stolen numerous times!

But with the situation at hand, there was no more room for pettiness, they had to call for backup first.

Li Hao first called the bureau to briefly describe the situation, then asked the people from the branch to call the local police station to send assistance.

“Brother Li, you spilt everything, can this really work?” Ding Weimin said,

“We’ve done something so serious. Even if we confess, it’s still the death penalty.”

“It’s not certain, our only chance now is to take a gamble, otherwise we have no opportunity left.”

“You’ve revealed our hideout, how can we still take a gamble?”

“Looking at their approach, I guess they’re planning to head over soon. I doubt they’ll have many people. But you must realize, Permanent Village has more than two hundred of our people. Once they are surrounded and we quietly kill them off, no one will notice, and we can quietly escape without anyone knowing it was us.”

Ding Weimin broke out in a cold sweat, not in his wildest dreams had he thought Zhou Li could be so bold.

“But they’re police officers, are we really going to harm them?”

“Shut your damn mouth quietly. If the people outside hear, we’d be dead now!” Zhou Li cursed,

“Based on what we’ve done, we’re facing the death penalty no matter what. This is our only chance. Death either way, might as well go for it.”

Ding Weimin’s breathing became heavy, such considerations had never crossed his mind.

With more than two hundred people in Permanent Village, dealing with a few of them would be a piece of cake, right?

In less than twenty minutes, two police cars arrived in the village.

The officers from the nearby police station came to assist the investigation, but the team was small; only four people had arrived.

As for the Longhu Branch officers, they would take a while longer due to the distance.

“Hello, I’m Director Li Yaoming from the Hongtian Police Station.”

The middle-aged man reached out and shook hands with Lin Yi and Li Hao as a greeting.

“There are five people inside, take them away. There’s still some wrap-up work to do on this case, we need to handle it,” Lin Yi said.

“I’ll get my colleagues to take them back. We can send some officers to join you guys.”

Director Li Yaoming was smart; he knew that if he could get involved at the conclusion of the case, he could share in the credit.

“We won’t trouble Director Li with this matter, we…”

Gu Yiran was cut off before she finished speaking, as Lin Yi touched her silently and smiled,

“It’s okay if Director Li wants to come, the more the merrier.”

“Good, good, let’s go together.”

Gu Yiran also realized that what she had just said was a bit thoughtless.

Credit for such a case was shared by those who witnessed it. Such convenient favors are not to be wasted.

“We can show you the way; does this count as making amends for our crimes?” Zhou Li said.

Lin Yi looked at him with a smile, “You’re pretty clever. Let’s go together then; it will save us a lot of time.”

“Good, good, let’s go together, we’ll strive to earn some merit,” Zhou Li said.

While speaking, Zhou Li was earnest, but his mind was buzzing with calculations.

He was clear that if he were taken away, he would have no chance at all.

But if he went with them to Permanent Village now, he might have a slim chance of survival.

“Everything’s arranged now, let’s go together,” Lin Yi said, gesturing for everyone to get in the car.

At this point, Li Hao and Zhou Min couldn’t say much; they had to passively follow along.

Once in the car, Zhang Peng took the wheel, and Zhang Zixin navigated. Lin Yi and Gu Yiran sat in the back, discussing the case.

“How did you find out there was something wrong with those people?”

“Lin Bro, I’m curious too. If you hadn’t made them slip up, I would never have suspected them.”

“At first, I didn’t suspect them either, but when I entered the house, I noticed a black mark on the floor that looked like blood. It seemed off, so I dug deeper with a few more questions, then they gave themselves away.”

“I see.” Zhang Zixin nodded thoughtfully, “But I feel like we were quite lucky. Just a casual visit, and we found them.”

“It’s not about luck. This case is very unusual. We still don’t know who is hidden in Permanent Village, so be careful. If you encounter danger, run behind me. Don’t charge forward like a fool. Everyone is raised by their parents; it’s not good to get hurt.”
