Chapter 4198: Chapter 4186: Escorting the Suspects

Wang Shuting looked at Lin Yi, becoming extremely curious about his identity.

Xu Ning was a bona fide rich second generation, and people like that all shared a common trait: arrogant and overbearing.

Don’t even talk about ordinary people, even someone like herself, they might not bother to take seriously.

But now, Xu Ning was speaking to Lin Yi so politely, which greatly exceeded her expectations.

"Don’t get nervous yet, we’ll talk after we’ve figured out the situation."

Although there was no direct evidence to prove Xu Ning was clean, both Lin Yi and Wang Shuting instinctively felt the odds of him hiring a killer were extremely low.

Over the next hour, Wang Shuting questioned Xu Ning in detail, and through all kinds of information, she proved and ruled out his suspicion.

Ring ring ring——

At that moment, Wang Shuting’s phone rang. Lin Yi glanced over and saw it was a call from Liu Xu.

"Master."

"Okay, okay, I’ll head over now."

"No, no, don’t let him come with me, I’ll find someone else to go."

"Seriously? He’s still trying to force his way in?"

"Fine."

After hanging up, Wang Shuting said to Lin Yi:

"Those three suspects have been caught, I need to go over there once."

"Where were they caught?"

"Xigang County, over in the Northeast. I’m going to coordinate with the colleagues over there and bring them back."

"If you don’t mind, I’ll go with you. If that violates regulations, then I won’t tag along."

"What regulations, forget it. If you come with me, I won’t be so bored." Wang Shuting said:

"Come back to the sub-bureau with me, I’ve got another colleague coming along too."

"Alright."

After a quick tidying up, the two of them stood up, ready to leave.

"Bro, for such a small matter, you’re still going to run there yourself?"

"Just one casual phone call and the people over there..."

Halfway through the sentence, Liang Jinming shut his mouth, stopped by Lin Yi’s look.

Liang Jinming also realized he’d said a bit too much.

With an outsider here, this kind of private information had to be hidden, they couldn’t know about it.

"Alright, you guys keep chatting, I’m heading out."

As he spoke, Lin Yi tossed the car key to Liang Jinming.

"Leave the car here for now, I’ll come back to get it later."

"No problem, I can even drive a few laps, get my fix."

Having settled the follow-up plan, Lin Yi left in Wang Shuting’s car.

On the way back, Wang Shuting recalled what Liang Jinming had just said.

For such a small matter, you’re still going to run there yourself?

Just one casual phone call and the people over there...

No matter how she looked at it, it all seemed to suggest that Lin Yi’s identity was anything but simple.

Getting two rich second generations to both speak to him so politely—an ordinary person simply wouldn’t have that kind of pull.

"Eyes on the road, you’ve already glanced at me several times." Lin Yi said with a smile.

Being called out like that made Wang Shuting a little embarrassed.

"It just feels a bit strange. Those two rich kids were both pretty polite to you."

"One of them is my friend, we’ve known each other for years. That’s all normal, don’t overthink it."

"Alright then."

Soon, with Wang Shuting driving, the two of them returned to the sub-bureau.

"Wait for me here for a bit, I’ll be out soon."

"Okay."

Wang Shuting left. After waiting for a little over half an hour, Lin Yi saw her come out with a young man.

The latter kept talking nonstop at her side.

But Wang Shuting’s face was expressionless, indifferent to everything he was saying. Instead, she quickened her pace, walking toward the car.

The man’s name was Zhao Jingcheng. He was Wang Shuting’s colleague, and also her pursuer.

But Wang Shuting had no feelings for him, while Zhao Jingcheng kept relentlessly chasing.

For this pickup assignment, Wang Shuting could partner with anyone, but Zhao Jingcheng volunteered himself, wanting to go together.

Because he had some connections, no one else wanted to fight him over it, which led to the current situation.

Very soon, Wang Shuting opened the car door and sat down in the driver’s seat.

Zhao Jingcheng opened the passenger side door and looked at Lin Yi.

"Tingting, who’s this guy? Why is he sitting in our car?"

"He’s the administrator at Fenglin International. He’s the one who discovered the three suspects. I’m taking him along so it’s easier to identify them."

Zhao Jingcheng sized Lin Yi up from head to toe. "The surveillance footage recorded everything clearly. Do we really need to bring him along? Seems unnecessary."

"Mainly because he’s seen the suspects in person, so bringing him to do the identification is more appropriate."

Lin Yi smiled. It was clear that Wang Shuting truly didn’t want to go with him, to the point she’d make up a reason like this.

But then again, even though he hadn’t seen the three suspects, with his Dynamic Capture ability he could definitely identify them better.

Hearing this explanation, Zhao Jingcheng couldn’t argue, since it sounded legit.

"Let me drive instead, you can get some rest."

As he spoke, Zhao Jingcheng walked around to the driver’s side.

Wang Shuting didn’t intend to wrestle with him over it, unfastened her seatbelt and got out of the car.

But as she got out, she said to Lin Yi, "You get out too, we’ll sit in the back."

"Works for me."

Zhao Jingcheng froze for a second, standing there, not sure if he should get in or not.

But he’d already said he would drive, so not getting in wasn’t an option.

After they got in the car, about forty-plus minutes later they arrived at the station, then took the high-speed rail straight to Fengtian.

After getting off the train, the local colleagues met them and took them to the sub-bureau.

In the interrogation room, Lin Yi saw the three men locked up, wearing handcuffs and leg chains, heads drooping.

When they saw the three come in, they sneaked a glance, then lowered their heads again.

Lin Yi took the opportunity to clearly see their faces. The three who had come out of 5017 were indeed these three, no mistake.

Besides that, through their micro-expressions, Lin Yi could tell it couldn’t have been anyone else.

"We’re handing them over to you now. If you need anything, just let us know. We’ll definitely cooperate fully on our side."

"Okay, thank you."

After a brief exchange of courtesies, the colleagues from Fengtian left, and the three suspects remained in the interrogation room.

"You should know why you were arrested. Regarding Wang Wenli’s case, I hope you’ll answer everything you know and hold nothing back, fight for leniency in sentencing."

The three kept their heads down, not daring to look up, as if they hadn’t heard what Wang Shuting said.

"I’m talking to you. Didn’t you hear me?"

Wang Shuting raised her voice, startling all three. One bald guy said:

"What crime did we commit? Even if you’re cops, you can’t just arrest people for no reason."

"The surveillance has already recorded you, and you still won’t admit it? Do I need to bring the footage over for you to watch?"

Standing there with a cold face, Wang Shuting said:

"Even if you don’t admit it, it’s useless. The evidence is solid. You are the killers. A few lines of quibbling won’t get you out from under suspicion."
