Awakening the Daily Intelligence System - Chapter 537 - 537: 208, Lin Mo, Du Nanxue... Is she still alive?_2
Chapter 537: 208, Lin Mo, Du Nanxue… Is she still alive?_2
Everything was in the past.
After nearly ten years, Bai Feng had finally received news of Du Nanxue again, the best news.
…..
Meanwhile, in a conference room not far from the interrogation room.
Three middle-aged officers, two men, and one woman, were intently watching the footage of Lin Mo being interrogated on the projector screen.
Sitting beside them were seven or eight case officers who had a certain understanding of Lin Mo, responsible for answering the three experts’ questions and sharing information they possessed.
…
Knowing both your enemy and yourself ensures victory in every battle.
Everyone knew Lin Mo was a tough nut to crack, and his self-surrender this time was filled with odd and unreasonable aspects.
The goal of the three interrogation experts was to pry open Lin Mo’s mouth and peek into his innermost thoughts. Then, they would combine all known intelligence to reach a reliable conclusion.
The higher-ups were waiting for their report.
At this moment, upon seeing Bai Feng’s unusual reaction, one of the smoking interrogation experts asked, “Who is the person they’re talking about?”
All present officers had been at the Rakshasa Police Station for a lengthy period and had experienced the entire Lin Mo incident, and they had all been Bai Feng’s colleagues, knowing of the incident with Du Nanxue from the beginning.
They exchanged glances, and the most senior officer among them said, “It’s like this, about ten years ago, Bai Feng and another police academy student named Du Nanxue were assigned to our station.”
“They were already in a relationship when they were in school, and both of them were very earnest and focused in their work, uncommonly steady and even-tempered compared to most young officers.”
“Later our station suspected that the CEO of Lvkai Group, Chen Kainan, might have been involved in a series of criminal activities and needed to be investigated. Yet, despite lengthy open investigations, we couldn’t gather any evidence.”
“Chen Kainan’s cunning far exceeded our expectations.”
“Subsequently, the station chief at the time suggested sending an undercover for investigation and asked us to nominate candidates.”
“As you all know, Chen Kainan is a native of Rakshasa. His father, Chen Shanhe, was the mastermind behind the Hive System, with tentacles stretching into all corners of the administrative units.”
“Old officers would be instantly discovered by Lvkai Group, eliminating any chance of going undercover. In the end, it was Du Nanxue who volunteered, suggesting that she could solve the problem by going undercover.”
“After a comprehensive consideration, we felt that simply going undercover within Lvkai Group did not carry an extraordinarily high risk. After making all-around protection preparations, we agreed to let Du Nanxue go undercover.”
“At first, everything went smoothly, and Du Nanxue successfully gathered some criminal evidence against Lvkai Group. But just as we were getting ready to close the net, she suddenly disappeared, and eventually, all the evidence was thoroughly cleaned up.”
“This incident has been almost ten years now!”
Listening to his account, the faces of the attending officers bore very unpleasant expressions.
The incident had dealt a significant blow to their police station, and it could be considered a scar in the hearts of every veteran officer.
Moreover, it wasn’t just Bai Feng who had been discreetly investigating Lvkai Group; they too had never given up the search, willing to go all out even for the slightest possibility.
After all, this was a female officer, not yet 20 years old, who had vanished without a trace. Who could bear it in their heart?
Especially when Du Nanxue’s parents came to the station asking for her, from the beat cops to the chief, they were so ashamed they wished they could crawl into a hole, unable to face her parents.
Unlike their dismayed expressions, the three newly arrived interrogation officers did not show much emotion on their faces.
Compared to the rest of the regular officers, they all possessed stronger professional qualities, specialized interrogation techniques, and a sharper ability to judge.
These were the key reasons why they could become interrogation experts.
One of the interrogation experts said, “So, the current situation is that, while dealing with Chen Kainan, Lin Mo had already met Du Nanxue, and the two of them subsequently made some kind of deal, which is why she didn’t show up right away.”
“And with Lin Mo’s self-surrender at the Rakshasa Police Station, their deal has come to an end?”
The officer who had just relayed the story nodded: “I think that’s probably the case.”
After a moment of thought, the expert said, “We’ve got the general idea. Now your task is to find Du Nanxue.”
“She could be a significant breakthrough. We might be able to get a lot of information about Lin Mo from her.”
After speaking, he looked toward the interrogation experts on either side and asked, “Do you have any more questions?”
Both shook their heads.
“Good,” the interrogation expert remarked without any superfluous talk, “You can leave now, we three need a private space to discuss some things.”
“Also, tell your Director Bai to control his emotions. We will enter the interrogation room and relieve him in five minutes.”
The officers nodded, stood up, and left the meeting room.
Although the three interrogation experts didn’t bring any identification, one could tell from their tone and actions that these three were truly experts among experts.
They were not to be trifled with.
And once all the officers had left the meeting room, the first interrogation expert who had spoken said, “The situation is as it stands, and we are going to confront Lin Mo directly next.”
“Do you two have any good ideas?”
The only female interrogation expert among them spoke with an icy tone, “What are the higher-ups thinking?”
The higher-ups’ thoughts?
The eldest interrogation expert shook his head and didn’t convey the thoughts from above, but spoke gravely, “This interrogation does not come with any predetermined stance from above. We only need to make a reasonable judgment based on our own investigation.”
“If you have no other questions, then we can go and meet this legendary character now. Otherwise, I’m really worried that Director Bai will pass out crying in the interrogation room.”
The other two slowly nodded and rose from their chairs.
They, too, were experiencing for the first time a suspect that could get the interrogator to cry out in pain, but after hearing about Du Nanxue’s situation, they found it all understandable.
Ten years,
It was a full ten years.
For Du Nanxue, trapped in confinement, and for Bai Feng, who had been unable to find any clues, this prolonged period was undoubtedly the most torturous ten years of their lives.
The three pushed open the door of the meeting room and slowly walked toward the interrogation room.
The distance was not far, and in less than two minutes, they were standing at the entrance of the interrogation room.
The eldest interrogation expert politely knocked on the door.
After waiting for about ten seconds, Bai Feng with red-rimmed eyes opened the door, looking at the three people in front of him but not saying a word.
He had just heard from his earpiece that the new interrogators had arrived at the entrance of the interrogation room.
Grand Xia was vast, and there were many interrogation experts. Bai Feng did not recognize the few people in front of him.
The eldest interrogation expert took the initiative to break the silence: “Director Bai, you’ve worked hard. We are here to take over from you.”
Even if there were many emotions inside, the work at hand still needed to be completed.
And after ten years, a little more time didn’t really make much difference.
Bai Feng, now knowing that Du Nanxue was alive, felt greatly relieved—eager as he might be to see her again, he first needed to know her whereabouts.
Especially since Lin Mo had made it very clear not to rush, suggesting that Nanxue might be coming to reunite with him in a couple of days.
“Huh…”
Bai Feng took a deep breath, apologized with regret, “I lost control of my emotions just now. I’m very sorry to have caused an embarrassment.”
“This way, please.”
The three nodded slowly, didn’t say much else, and stepped into the interrogation room.
The three pairs of eyes surveyed Lin Mo who sat in the interrogation chair, while Lin Mo also raised his head to scrutinize the three people at the door.
From their gazes, it was clear that neither side was particularly pleased with the other.
