Hearing someone call out, Lin Yi turned his head to look.
He saw seven or eight police officers charge up from the staircase, each holding a weapon, their expressions stern.
And behind them were a few people in suits, the leader being Huang Sihai.
Following him were four other participants, who had just been meeting with him.
Catching sight of these people, Lin Yiâs gaze focused.
He had seen their photos before and recognized Huang Sihai and the others at a glance.
Among those twelve people, he was the wealthiest.
With even him on the scene, things were going to be much easier, though it was a pity not all were present.
âDonât move!â
The police rushed up and surrounded Lin Yi.
Lin Yi smiled and obediently raised his hands, very cooperative and showing no intention of resisting.
âPresident Huang, youâve finally arrived.â
Seeing Lin Yi under control, Liu Yuancheng, Ma Zheng, and others also breathed a sigh of relief.
âHow did it turn into this?â
Huang Sihai walked over, unable to comprehend upon seeing Liu Yuancheng beaten beyond recognition.
âItâs a long story to tell, letâs take this person away first, then Iâll explain it slowly to you.â
âIâll take you to the hospital first, Iâll handle the rest.â
âOkay, that works,â Liu Yuancheng said through a grimace, then his gaze landed on Lin Yi.
âYou never imagined someone would come to arrest you, huh? Your time is up; Iâm going to show you today what real capital is!â
âReal capital?â Lin Yi remained calm, âPerhaps itâs time I teach you that lesson instead.â
âYou donât have the chance anymore, youâre about to die, nobody can save you!â
Lin Yi didnât speak, and the police didnât give him the chance to, as they handcuffed him and took him away from the resort.
âDamn it, itâs lucky that we prepared a backup plan, otherwise he would have beaten me to death today.â
âWerenât you supposed to have someone take him out? Didnât it work?â
âDonât even mention it.â Liu Yuancheng said,
âI donât know how he managed to overpower Ah Si. Ma Zheng told me he heard gunshots inside, and I thought Ah Si succeeded, but the person who came out⦠turned out to be him.â
âThere must be something fishy going on here. A good interrogation will reveal it.â
âAll of that is not the point,â Liu Yuancheng said, holding his abdomen,
âI need to get to the hospital now, and then weâll go over there. I want to get back at him for the humiliation I suffered just now.â
âWe should see how youâre doing first; Iâve spoken with our superiors, theyâll handle this matter.â@@novelbin@@
â¦
Meanwhile, Lin Yi was taken into a police car and brought to the main stationâs detention center for investigation and questioning.
Knowing Lin Yiâs identity made the investigators treat him a bit better than usual.
âYour name is Lin Yi, right? A policeman from the Zhonghai Xinshan Branch.â
âYes.â
Lin Yi didnât hide anything and told the truth.
âDo you know why we brought you in?â
âIâm really not sure, please enlighten me.â
âA few days ago, in Permanent Village during an operation, you killed 23 people, there were 79 seriously injured, and 27 minor injuries. Do you admit to this?â
âSo thatâs what youâre talking about.â
Lin Yi mumbled to himself, clarifying the reason behind his capture.
Being arrested for this reason seemed somewhat logical.
These people werenât fools, but they werenât using their intelligence wisely.
That could easily backfire.
âI admit it, I did it. But I was acting on a case at the time, and they all attacked me first, so self-defense is perfectly normal.â
While many people had died, not all of them could be attributed to Lin Yiâs actions.
Gu Yiran and others also fired quite a few shots, and as for how those people died, no one could definitively say.
But Lin Yi didnât want to quibble, taking the responsibility on himself was the best course of action.
âSelf-defense is indeed permitted, but we suspect that you acted excessively and may have even taken personal revenge. This is not allowed.â
âWhat a joke, I was about to be chopped to death, and you tell me I acted excessively?â
Lin Yi yawned, âSomehow, it feels like youâre joking.â
The two interrogators didnât look happy.
Lin Yiâs irreverent attitude seemed to disrespect them.
âIn our investigation, the suspect Liu Huasheng claimed that they had surrendered quickly, but you relentlessly killed so many. Doesnât that count as excessive force?â
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow and looked at the two men opposite him.
âAre you sure Liu Huasheng said that?â
The expressions of the two men changed because this information was passed down from their superiors.
âWhat else could it be? Do you think we made it up?â
âWith your ranks, you probably donât have the guts to make this up. It must be your bosses who told you to say it, right?â
They panicked!
The expressions on their faces were incredibly surprised.
They had not anticipated Lin Yiâs acute insight.
But they quickly managed to settle the waves in their hearts.
One of them, a man with glasses, slammed the table and loudly chastised Lin Yi:
âWatch how you speak! This isnât a place for your wild speculations!â
âDonât be so agitated; after all, weâre all in the same field,â Lin Yi replied with a chuckle,
âI donât have much else to say, what youâve mentioned is all true, how you deal with it is up to you.â
âSince you have nothing to defend, I will detain you and someone will inform you of the final verdict.â
âSure, your call.â
Lin Yi was escorted out and then led away from the interrogation room.
â¦
Inside the detention center, a person in uniform arrived.
He went from cell to cell, hand carrying a file, and eventually opened one of the cell doors.
âZhou Changlin, step out for a moment.â
The man called by name was a tall and sturdy fellow.
Nearly one meter ninety in height and covered in tattoos, one glance would overwhelm most people.
âCaptain Wang, is there something you need me for?â
The man known as Captain Wang nodded, âI have a task for you. Do it well, and you wonât be shortchanged.â
Hearing this, Zhou Changlinâs face lit up with joy, âDonât worry, as long as itâs something I can handle, Iâll get it done cleanly for you.â
âGood, come with me.â
As they said that, the man called Captain Wang continued to the other cells, calling out a person named Wu Mingming.
After about fifteen minutes, a total of eight people were called out, then taken to the most secluded empty cell.
And these eight individuals all shared one characteristic: they were all big and strong, none of them pushovers.
âCaptain Wang, are you moving me somewhere else?â
âJust temporarily, we need you for something shortly.â
