Chapter 1295: Direct Confrontation
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Unexpectedly, after they left the highway and entered Song Jiang’s ring expressway, there was such an unexpected gain. They thought they would need to confront at Yang Ming’s door directly. Captain Zhang didn’t want to alert the enemy inadvertently. Yang Ming’s father, Yang Dahai, was too influential in Song Jiang. If he were to summon Yang Ming publicly for interrogation, it was likely to be intervened from pressure all around.
Therefore, Captain Zhang could only make a move in secret. He had to arrest Yang Ming first. If Yang Ming’s statement was fishy, even if someone intervened, it could not be helped.
Now, he could actually meet Yang Ming here. If the person sitting in the car in front was really Yang Ming, then all the problems were solved.
Yang Ming had several residences. He would probably stay in school, so it was somewhat difficult to find Yang Ming.
Xiao Tang sped up the car and turned on the police lights, passing Yang Ming’s car and stopped in front.
Yang Ming frowned. He didn’t expect a police car behind him would stop in front of him. Yang Ming was waiting for the toll booth, so the car wasn’t moving. The police car cut into the lane and blocked Yang Ming’s path.
Before Yang Ming got off, the police car door opened. Captain Zhang and Xiao Tang jumped down and knocked on Yang Ming’s window. Yang Ming opened the window. “What’s the matter?”
When they saw Yang Ming sitting in the driver’s seat, Captain Zhang and Xiao Tang looked at each other and nodded. Their execution was exceptionally smooth. They met Yang Ming here, so they didn’t have to do a stakeout in Song Jiang.
“We are the Mount Jing police.” Captain Zhang took out his police officer identification card and showed it to Yang Ming. “I now suspect that you are related to a murder. Please come back with us for an investigation.”
Murder? Yang Ming was stunned as he said, “Sui Yuejin’s case?” Since these two were from Mount Jing, then Yang Ming could only think of the recent Sui Yuejin case at Mount Jing.
Captain Zhang was surprised. Since Yang Ming could speak about the case, it proved that he knew the case very well. However, listening to Yang Ming’s tone, he didn’t seem like he was hiding anything. He seemed rather normal, which made Captain Zhang’s heart sink. He could intuitively determine that Yang Ming seemed to have no connection with this case.
However, intuition was unreliable. If intuition were reliable, then the case would not be so complicated and difficult.
“Yes, please come with us,” said Captain Zhang.
“You suspect that I’m the one who did it?” Yang Ming looked at Captain Zhang’s expression. He thought, Captain Zhang treats me as a suspect because I actually went to the crime scene, or I was probably seen.
Captain Zhang didn’t speak, but from his expression, he also acquiesced to Yang Ming’s statement. He did suspect Yang Ming.
“If I say that it was not me, would you believe it or not?” Yang Ming shrugged. “I am rushing back to the university. Can I not go with you?”
“Now, we are just asking you to assist in the investigation. Please don’t wait for the arrest order; we will find you trouble again!” Xiao Tang was impatient. He heard that Yang Ming actually bargained, so he was anxious.
“Isn’t your attitude very unbearable?” Yang Ming glanced at Xiao Tang and smiled.
Captain Zhang knew that Yang Ming’s family background was not ordinary. He waved his hand to Xiao Tang and told him not to talk first. “We just want to understand the situation, so please cooperate.”
“Well, where do we do it? How about here? I will go to your car.” Yang Ming got out when he finished his words.
Xiao Tang had a vigilant look at Yang Ming, scared that he would run away.
Captain Zhang was not afraid that Yang Ming would run. Where could Yang Ming go to in this place? If he just runs directly with his legs rather than driving away, wouldn’t it be silly? But, Captain Zhang thought that Yang Ming didn’t seem to recognize the situation. They looked for him right now, not merely just to talk, but to arrest him back for investigation.
“Mr. Yang, we are going to take you back to the Mount Jing police station for investigation. You can’t finish talking here. You have to come with us. You can let the lady in the car drive your car, or you can park here first. I will send police officers to help you drive it back,” said Captain Zhang.
“She will drive, but I believe we can finish it in a few words.” Yang Ming said as he walked to Captain Zhang’s police car, but halfway there, he turned back and said to Captain Zhang, “Police Officer Zhang, can you talk to me alone in the car?”
Yang Ming had seen Captain Zhang’s rank and Xiao Tang’s rank from their police officer’s ID card. Captain Zhang should be the person-in-charge; Xiao Tang was a general police officer, so Yang Ming could speak of some things to Captain Zhang. After all, his identity was there.
“En?” Captain Zhang was surprised. He didn’t know what Yang Ming meant, but he still nodded and said, “Alright, Xiao Tang, you wait outside. I will talk to Mr. Yang first.”
Xiao Tang naturally nodded in obedience to the order, but he was also very vigilant standing next to the car; he was afraid of what Yang Ming would do.
Captain Zhang and Yang Ming entered the car together. Yang Ming did not say anything, but he took out an ID document directly from his pocket and stuffed it into Captain Zhang’s hand.
Because the light in the car was dim, Captain Zhang didn’t see it clearly. He thought that Yang Ming was bribing him with money, so he waved. “Don’t do this. I won’t take your things.”
“This is not for you. I’m just letting you have a look.” Yang Ming said with a smile.
“Oh?” Captain Zhang picked up the object that Yang Ming gave him in doubt. He turned on the reading light inside the car and opened the small book that Yang Ming handed him. His face changed suddenly.
He was the Mount Jing Criminal Investigation Team’s Captain. He naturally had an understanding of the Supernatural Investigation Bureau organization where Yang Ming belonged. They were responsible for the handling and investigation of some strange events. It was a very special institutional department belonging to the troops but not to the military. They still had cooperation with the local police stations, so it could be said that it was a very detached department. The police only had the right to assist in handling the cases, but they did not have the right to participate in the investigation.
Therefore, Captain Zhang’s face suddenly became strange, but Yang Ming’s documents were tested with several anti-counterfeiting. He was certain that Yang Ming’s documents were real.
Moreover, no one knew about the existence of such documents. It was even more impossible to use fraudulently or forge. The fraudulent use of such rare documents was not as good as forging other documents.
“Mr. Yang, I’m sorry. It seems that we made a mistake.” Captain Zhang could no longer treat Yang Ming as a murder suspect. Even if Yang Ming killed the person, Captain Zhang had no right to pursue it. The reason was that Yang Ming’s department was very unique. Yang Ming was only responsible to his superior; he was under no one else’s control.
This was a bit like a special agent, but there was also a mysterious institution.
“Now, I can tell you that I didn’t kill Sui Yuejin. If I were to kill him, I would not deny it. I’m only responsible to my superiors. I do not need to hide things from you.” Yang Ming retrieved the document, shrugged, and said.
Captain Zhang heard Yang Ming’s words, and he couldn’t help but nod. Indeed, Yang Ming was the agent over there. There was no need for him to lie to him. Even if Yang Ming had a mission to get rid of Sui Yuejin, and even if Captain Zhang knew about it, he would not take any measure against Yang Ming. Yang Ming’s right or wrong was up to his superiors to handle.
Moreover, if Yang Ming said that he did not kill the person, then he was certainly not the murderer. However, since Yang Ming was also considered to be a person in the system, Captain Zhang no longer hid anything. “Mr. Yang, I don’t want you to hide from you, but I have immense pressure on me. Sui Yuejin is a Mount Jing’s celebrity. He was suddenly shot to death. If the case isn’t solved as soon as possible, you see… Can you…”
“Oh?” Yang Ming heard Captain Zhang speaking halfway, them he seemed to hesitate. He smiled and said, “Police Officer Zhang, say anything you must. You should know my father-in-law, Chen Fei, from the Song Jiang Police Station. So, of course, I am also a person in your system. Tell me anything if you want my help.”
“Oh? Bureau Chief Chen is Mr. Yang’s…” Police Officer Zhang was a bit surprised. He didn’t expect Yang Ming also to have such a connection.
“His daughter, Chen Mengyan, is my high school classmate; we go to the same university together.” Yang Ming smiled and said, “So, Police Officer Zhang, say anything you need to.”
“It turned out to be like this. So, we’re considered to be on the same side! Since Mr. Yang said so, then I will say it.” Police Officer Zhang had some scruples about Yang Ming’s identity. He didn’t know Yang Ming’s personality, so he dared not to say anything too clearly, but now, since Yang Ming said this, he did not need to cover up. Hence, he said, “This is the case, Mr. Yang. If Sui Yuejin was shot, and it has nothing to do with you, then you should have some clues since you were at the scene, right? If this matter is really related to you, then Mr. Yang can explain it to my leader. Your side can just take over the investigation so that I don’t need to think so hard to solve the case.”
“I can tell you for sure this case has nothing to do with me.” Yang Ming said, “I looked for Sui Yuejin because I wanted him to do something for me. I did threaten him, but I didn’t need to kill him. As for the reason, I can’t say. Please, Police Officer Zhang, forgive me.”
Since Yang Ming didn’t want to say it, Police Officer Zhang wouldn’t ask. Who knows if it was confidential? But since Yang Ming said that it had nothing to do with him, Police Officer Zhang had some headaches. “In fact, things are like this. Sui’s Group’s surveillance video was taken away. We didn’t have any clues about the case, but this morning, a street cleaner found a videotape on the roadside. The video was showing Mr. Yang going into the Sui’s Group… So, we only looked for you…”
“Videotape? Picked on the roadside?” Yang Ming immediately frowned, listening to Police Officer Zhang. “Did the Sui’s Group’s surveillance system use videotapes as a medium?”
“No, it’s a hard drive. When we arrived, the hard drive had been removed…” said Police Officer Zhang.
