?74: Article 74 Assisting Investigation 74: Article 74 Assisting Investigation As they approached the elevator, Hai Mingzhu suggested, “President Jin, you have an excellent relationship with Lady Cui.

    You should inform her that her daughter is acting spoiled.”

    Surprisingly, Jin Xin didn’t rebuke her; instead, his eyebrows frowned.

    After listening to Cui Xin’ai’s pleading, they reluctantly left to look for Li Yawei.

    Jin Xin took out his phone and said, “Shen Yue and Li Yawei are still in this community.

    We should go and check on them.”

    Hai Mingzhu nodded, and after they took the elevator and left the building, they were both taken aback.

    Shen Yue and Li Yawei were standing a short distance from the entrance of the building.

    Unbelievably, standing before them was a policeman!

    Jin Xin raised an eyebrow and quickly walked over to them, whispering, “What seems to be the problem?”

    Shen Yue succinctly said, “This is Du Feng, the head of the criminal police detachment in the city.

    He came to ask…

    Li Yawei to assist with the investigation at the police station.”

    Du Feng, a man in his forties, looked sharp and capable.

    He politely said, “Please cooperate with us.”

    Jin Xin glanced at Du Feng and asked, “What happened to old Ma?

    Did he retire early?” Having been in business in Deep City for several years, Jin Xin was familiar with the police department structure and knew that the former head of criminal police was named Ma Jintao.

    Du Feng calmly responded to Jin Xin’s impudence, “Not at all.

    He was promoted.

    I’ve just transferred here recently, so if there is anything that I need to improve on, Advisor Shen and President Jin, your suggestions are welcomed.”

    Hai Mingzhu felt as though she had met a police imposter – this cop was too polite.

    “Why do you need Miss Li Yawei’s help with the investigation?” Jin Xin asked while glancing at his phone.

    A picture soon appeared on the screen, which prominently showed Du Feng’s picture and his file information beneath it.

    Hai Mingzhu took a quick look and thought to herself that Jin Xin seemed very efficient.

    She wondered if he had hacked into the GA system to obtain this information.

    It was entirely possible that he had set up the security system for the city’s police department.

    “Well, it’s not convenient to disclose that at the moment.

    Once we get to the police station, we will provide a reasonable explanation.

    ” Du Feng appeared polite but was evidently evasive.

    After exchanging glances with Shen Yue, just when Hai Mingzhu thought they would find a way to resist, Jin Xin surprisingly agreed, “Sure, cooperating with the police is the basis for a harmonious society.

    We will definitely cooperate fully.”

    Hai Mingzhu was speechless, feeling that Jin Xin’s image had suddenly become noble.

    Li Yawei had remained surprisingly silent all this time.

    Maybe in her mind, there was nowhere to flee, and returning to the country was, to begin with, a last resort.

    “How many of us can accompany Miss Li Yawei?” Jin Xin asked tentatively.

    Du Feng hesitated slightly, “I am afraid I did not familiarize Advisor Shen with the situation.

    It’s not only Miss Li Yawei.

    All of you present here are required to assist with the investigation.” sea??h thё N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    Hai Mingzhu was taken aback and pointed to her nose, saying, “Including me?” She didn’t understand why she had been summoned for questioning.

    She was an upright and law-abiding citizen.

    She had always been a law-abiding citizen!

    “Yes, you too.” Du Feng subsequently included Hai Mingzhu among the suspects, “Last night, the police received a report from a citizen stating that his car had been stolen by two car thieves.

    We checked the surveillance and found that Miss Hai and Advisor Shen match the appearance of the thieves!

    Therefore, both of you need to explain the situation at the police station.”

    Hai Mingzhu was left dumbfounded.

    Due to the urgency of the situation last night, Shen Yue borrowed a car from the side of the road to help Jin Xin, and then was thrilled by the exciting prospect.

    Only now did she realize that this was illegal.

    Shen Yue did not deny this.

    He glanced deeply at Jin Xin.

    Jin Xin nodded, understanding and said, “The police’s efficiency is commendable.” What he didn’t mention was that from the time the car was reported stolen to its recovery, there were rarely cases handled this swiftly.

    Someone was fast-tracking this matter!

    Du Feng seemed not to understand the implicit meaning of Jin Xin’s words, he smiled and said, “Improving work efficiency is our duty.

    Please lead the way, President Jin.”

    “Am I also going?” Jin Xin surprisingly asked.

    “Yes.” Du Feng cheerfully responded, “I was worried about how to invite all of you to the station for tea.

    I didn’t expect all of you to be together.” It seemed like he intended to catch all of them in one swoop.

    “Why do I also have to go?” Jin Xin squinted.

    “Because not far from the Wild Bar, someone was found dead there.” Du Feng spoke about the death as casually as if he was saying “the weather is wonderful today”.

    “According to the surrounding surveillance records, President Jin, you seem to be a suspect.”

    Though Jin Xin did expect this accusation, he did not anticipate it to spring up so suddenly.

    He extended his hands and asked, “Do you need to handcuff me?”

    “No need, it’s just a routine investigation.” Du Feng seemed to be a smooth operator.

    Since others were cooperating, he was not seeking unnecessary trouble.

    As they neared the van, he courteously allowed them to board before he drove towards the police station.

    Jin Xin and Shen Yue looked at each other, both understanding what the other was thinking – this van had seven seats, their opponents had thought through their plans.

    They did not resist though because it was evident from the fact that only Du Feng was sent to fetch them that they intended to use soft tactics before resorting to force.

    Upon arriving at the police station, Du Feng led the four upstairs.

    Turning a corner, they arrived at a seemingly inconspicuous room.

    He held the door open for them, saying, “Please wait inside for a while, thank you for your cooperation.” After they walked in, he closed the door and left.

    Jin Xin noticed several chairs scattered in the room.

    He pulled up one and sat down, looking at the large mirror hanging on the wall opposite him, “Shen Yue, can you see yourself in the mirror?”

    Hai Mingzhu found this joke far from funny given the situation.

    However, Shen Yue glanced at the mirror and responded seriously, “I can.”

    The two of them burst into laughter.

    Hai Mingzhu found their laughter puzzling.

    She finally asked, “President Jin, Advisor Shen, we’re not going to be jailed, are we?” She was unsure about the punishment for car theft.

    “Of course not.” Jin Xin responded nonchalantly, “Shen Yue acted under circumstances beyond his control.

    He was trying to save a life.

    We just have to compensate the car owner for their loss and apologize, and that’ll be it.”

    Shen Yue was saving you then, a murder suspect.

    How are you planning to tackle the murder charges against you?

    Hai Mingzhu knew Jin Xin hadn’t murdered anyone.

    However, ordinary citizens like her are most afraid of facing the authorities because once slandered, it’s hard to clean up the mess.

    Hai Mingzhu was very concerned, feeling that the situation was serious and not as simple as Jin Xin made it sound.

    Not much later, the door of the room was opened.

    Du Feng walked in with a notebook, accompanied by a middle-aged man dressed in a plain suit, “This is the car owner.

    I thought it would be good if you met first.” He then looked at Shen Yue and Hai Mingzhu and asked, “Let’s start with the simple matters.

    Do the two of you acknowledge the fact that you stole the car?”

    Hai Mingzhu became uneasy and as she was about to start defending herself, Shen Yue held her back and turned to the middle-aged man, “May I have your surname, sir?”

    The middle-aged man was taken aback and timidly said, “My surname is Feng.

    Is there a problem?”

    Shen Yue began to smile, “Can you tell me when did you first notice that your car was missing?”

    The middle-aged man was more confused.

    He looked at Du Feng.

    Du Feng coughed and said, “Advisor Shen, aren’t you asking my questions?”
