"What about Li Lan? To what extent was she involved in this case?"

Guan Feng asked one last question while keeping a close eye on Li Cuiling's expression.

A bitter smile appeared on Li Cuiling's lips as she shook her head, saying, "Her? She's just a pitiful person! I heard they're divorced. I don't have a key to Huang Youwen's house, so I was thinking that if she cooperated, I could..."

Guan Feng asked, "So, according to you, Li Lan was unaware of your subsequent series of actions?"

Li Cuiling nodded.

Guan Feng said, "Although you have been very cooperative, the case still needs further investigation. Please come back to the station with us."

For the first time, panic flashed in Li Cuiling's eyes: "W-Will I be sentenced?"

Guan Feng said, "The specific sentencing needs to be determined by the judge. What you can do is to behave actively and cooperate with our work. We will also try our best to get a reduced sentence for you within the limits of the law."

As he spoke, he beckoned Li Xiangdong and Wang Xun to step forward, preparing to take Li Cuiling away.

Li Cuiling glanced bitterly at the closed bedroom door and sighed, "Can you wait for me? I... I want to say something to my husband."

Wang Xun looked at Guan Feng.

Guan Feng nodded.

Li Cuiling stood up and opened the bedroom door.

Qi Cheng had been waiting impatiently for a long time.

Seeing his wife come in, he immediately hugged her tightly and asked excitedly, "Lingzi, what happened?"

Two streams of tears rolled down Li Cuiling's cheeks as she said bitterly, "I did something foolish, Dachengzi. You're a good person, but it's a pity I met you too late. I've already signed the divorce certificate and put it in the safe. Sign it now, don't wait for me, it's not worth it!"

Qi Cheng stood there, stunned.

......

Police cars roared by.

The three vehicles returned to the Hongcheng branch of the Public Security Bureau.

The case involved theft and extortion, and was further complicated by crimes such as voyeurism and blackmail, making it a complex and perplexing case despite its small scale.

It wasn't until 4 p.m. that the entire case file was finally sorted out.

Huang Youwen is involved in acts such as secretly filming, threatening, and having sexual relations with women against their will, and will certainly face criminal prosecution. The other female victims will also be punished to varying degrees.

After handing over the case file, Huang Lili paced back and forth, unwilling to leave.

Guan Feng asked, "Lily, is something the matter?"

Huang Lili nodded and asked, "Team leader, do you think Li Lan will be sentenced?"

Guan Feng shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. It depends on the facts! Whether it was intentional participation or unintentional theft, if it was the former, then he was an accomplice and would definitely be subject to criminal punishment. If it was the latter, and he was unaware of what happened afterward, then by trying to get Huang Youwen's forgiveness, he might be exempt from criminal punishment!"

Huang Lili asked, "But didn't Li Cuiling confess that Li Lan knew nothing about all of this?"

Guan Feng said, "Li Cuiling's confession can only prove that she was the main participant, but it cannot clear Li Lan of suspicion."

Huang Lili asked, "Why?"

Guan Feng said, "It's very simple! Li Lan is an adult. Would an adult with normal thinking not realize the potential consequences of having duplicated front door keys and safe keys handed over to others?"

Huang Lili sighed.

Guan Feng asked, "You want to help Li Lan?"

Huang Lili blushed slightly upon hearing this and nodded, saying, "Team leader, do you think I shouldn't have done this?"

Guan Feng laughed and said, "What's there to say about 'should' or 'shouldn't'? We are criminal police officers, and we often deal with vicious criminals. This requires us to maintain a sense of dignity and composure most of the time!"

"But! We are still human beings at our core. Our seriousness and harshness are only to protect more people from harm."

“Li Lan is obviously not a heinous criminal. Her original intention was just to vent her anger. From this point of view, although Li Lan’s actions violated the law, they can be understood from a moral standpoint.”

"If you want to help her, I can turn a blind eye within the bounds of the law."

A happy expression appeared on Huang Lili's face.

"Team leader! I knew you were a good person!"

A good person?

Guan Feng was both amused and exasperated by this assessment.

Those three years in southern Yunnan!

The name he heard most often was "ruthless killer"!

He was said to be ruthless and merciless, never showing mercy to his enemies, but he got a "good guy" card as soon as he arrived in Hua'an?

Guan Feng glanced at Huang Lili and asked, "Lili, I remember you've only been working for a year, right?"

Huang Lili nodded and said, "Yes, team leader, what's wrong?"

Guan Feng reminded her, "If you really want to help Li Lan, go back and ask your dad. That way you can help her without getting yourself involved. I don't want to lose a subordinate."

Huang Lili said, "Thank you, team leader!"

Guan Feng waved his hand and said, "Alright, go ahead and get busy."

Huang Lili left with a smile.

A moment later.

Zheng Yuandong walked into the office carrying a thermos.

"Team Leader Zheng!"

"Team Leader Zheng!"

Everyone greeted each other.

Zheng Yuandong placed his thermos on the table and laughed, "A theft case involving over 300,000 yuan, which also involved extortion and voyeurism, was solved in less than two days. Team Leader Guan, that's quite efficient!"

Guan Feng said, "Captain, please just call me Xiao Guan. I'm not used to you calling me team leader! Besides, no matter how good the team is at solving cases, isn't it still your team?"

"Absolutely! We absolutely need Captain Zheng's strong leadership!"

"Captain Zheng, did you get another reward for coming here?"

Everyone followed Guan Feng's lead and spoke up.

Zheng Yuandong glanced at Li Xiangdong and said, "Hey kid, are you obsessed with money? You're rewarding me as soon as I come in. If you had made any significant contribution, I would have applied for you to be an advanced individual!"
