Chapter 2174: Chapter 2174: 2175: Strange Yin and Yang Qi

“Damn it!”

Lin Yi slammed his chopsticks to one side, no longer in the mood to continue eating.

“Lin Bro, take it easy. The law will take care of people like him.”

“Just punishing him isn’t enough. Even if Liu Huasheng dies, there will be Li Huasheng and Zhang Huasheng taking over. If we don’t find out who the upstream buyers are, this never ends and society won’t be stabilized.”

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became heavy.

Because what Lin Yi mentioned was also on their minds.

“About the buyer. Did he provide any information?”

“He didn’t,” said Gu Yiran.

“He said the transactions on both sides were confidential and that the other party was very cautious. Each transaction used a new phone card, which was destroyed afterward, leaving no trace of information.”

“He must not be telling the truth. Go interrogate him again; you might get something more.”

“I thought the same, but after a whole night of interrogation, we got nothing. If you doubt his testimony, you need to handle this.”

“Alright, keep an eye on things here. I’ll go out for a bit and come back to interrogate him.”

“We’ll leave it to you then. We’ve been up all night; time to catch some sleep.”

“Go ahead and sleep, I’ll handle the rest.”

After quickly getting ready, Lin Yi left the Longhu Branch.

Holding his phone, he was about to call Liu Hong, but at that moment, Liang Ruoxu called.

“Are you still in Shanwei?”

“How did you know I was here?”

“I heard about last night. Over 20 dead, more than 70 severely injured. You were quite ruthless.”

“At first, I didn’t even want to fight, but those guys tried to kill me. If I hadn’t fought back, you’d be visiting my grave next year.”

“That was a bit too harsh, be careful next time.”

“Are you calling just to talk about this?”

“What else? You’re in Shanwei, nothing else to discuss, right?” Liang Ruoxu said with a laugh.

“But this matter isn’t serious. Finish it up and come back. It’s just experiencing life, no need to escalate it.”

“There are some follow-up issues to take care of, can’t come back yet.”

“Wasn’t the man arrested? Let the Shanwei police handle the rest.”

“Besides them, it also involves the upstream buyers. If we don’t settle this, similar incidents will happen in the future. It must be handled properly.”

Liang Ruoxu was silent for a long while on the other end of the phone.

Lin Yi’s tone made clear that the case had touched his bottom line.

His conscience wouldn’t allow him to ignore it.

Such a loveable yet frustrating guy.

“Then handle it. Need me to do anything?”

“Actually, I do need you to do something.”

“Speak straight.”

“Have a good talk with your aunt, ask her not to come in the next few days because I’ll be coming home soon.”

“Get lost!”

Cursing, Liang Ruoxu hung up the phone.

Lin Yi chuckled and then dialed Ning Che’s number.

“Leader Lin, what made you finally decide to call me? Are you in Yanjing?”

“I’m handling a case in Shanwei. I need some contraband, can you get it for me?”

“Huh? Why do you need that stuff suddenly? Anyone in your family critically ill? With your connections, just a call and the hospital would send it.”

“It’s not that kind. I need a regular dosage injection, can you arrange it?”

“No problem, give me your address, I’ll have someone deliver it later.”

“No need to deliver, I’ll come and pick it up.”

“That works. Wait for my notice, I’ll arrange it as fast as I can.”

After hanging up with Ning Che, Lin Yi wandered the streets for a while until he got a message from her, then took a taxi to the specified address to collect what he wanted.

When Lin Yi returned, it was just past noon. Gu Yiran and the others were still asleep. Lin Yi didn’t disturb them and turned to the interrogation room.

Upon arrival, he found that Ma Xinglong and Xu Jun were present.

Seeing Lin Yi again, both their expressions were complex.

They had thought he was just a show-off, but he had proven himself quite capable.

Without him the night before, Li Hao and the others would have been stuck in Permanent Village.

And with him having taken down over a hundred people single-handedly, he could have easily won the first place in the national police competition.

“Officer Lin, glad you could make it.”

Ma Xinglong and Xu Jun greeted him warmly, their attitude much friendlier.

Lin Yi also smiled and nodded, but his eyes were fixed on another person in the interrogation room.

The person looked in his mid-thirties to early forties, somewhat older and mature.

But his rank was only slightly lower than Ma Xinglong’s, not seeming like someone from the local branch.

“Director Ma, who is this?”

“This is Sun Mingqiang, Director Sun, sent from the headquarters to assist with this case. He’s interrogating Liu Huasheng.”

Lin Yi nodded. Cracking such a big case, the Longhu Branch’s capabilities were a bit strained, so it was natural for headquarters to send someone to assist.

After introducing Sun Mingqiang, Ma Xinglong also introduced Lin Yi.

“Director Sun, this is Officer Lin Yi, from Zhong Hai. If it weren’t for him, this case couldn’t have been handled.”

Sun Mingqiang glanced at Lin Yi and nodded subtly, encouraging him:

“Young man, you’re quite impressive. Keep up the good work.”

“Sure thing,” Lin Yi replied cheerfully, not engaging too much with Sun Mingqiang.

“Alright, I’m almost done here. I’ll go back and report the current situation to see how headquarters wants to handle this.”

“Did he disclose anything about his upstream buyers?” asked Lin Yi.

“He confessed honestly in that regard, but there’s no concrete information. Tracing this lead will likely be difficult.”

As Lin Yi expected, no substantial information had been uncovered.

“I’m free, so I might as well give it another shot.”

Hearing this, Sun Mingqiang’s expression suddenly changed.

“What do you mean by that? Do you think I’m incapable of handling this?”

“That’s not it, just thought to ask casually. That guy is pretty tough.”

Ma Xinglong and Xu Jun looked tense. This was a person sent down from the headquarters.@@novelbin@@

This young man spoke without restraint, at least give others some respect.

Sun Mingqiang’s expression turned cold, not as warm as before. He patted Lin Yi’s shoulder, his speech tinged with sarcasm.

“Young man, it’s good to have energy, but remember to recognize the right occasion, you understand?”
