He then went with Peng Yuanyuan to Xingfuli Community to store the equipment.

In other words, Luo Xuefeng never knew the purpose of Peng Yuanyuan's use of this tool. He only speculated that Peng Yuanyuan might be in trouble after Peng Yuanyuan was arrested and Xingfuli was sealed off.

"Why didn't you choose to destroy this tool?" Li Nan was puzzled. If Peng Yuanyuan had destroyed this tool back then, she wouldn't have been arrested today.

"Perhaps the young lady wanted to leave behind a memento!"

"Luo Xuefeng, I understand your purpose, but this time, you've oversimplified things!"

Upon hearing Li Nan's concluding remarks, Luo Xuefeng's last hope was shattered.

He knew that turning himself in today would not bring Peng Yuanyuan back.

He believed that the law could not punish everyone, and he simply hoped that by getting involved, he could lessen Peng Yuanyuan's punishment.

"Luo Xuefeng, let's put aside Peng Yuanyuan's matter for now. Shall we go somewhere else to talk about it?"

Li Nan stood up, assuming a firing stance. "This tool isn't called a pressurized launcher; it should be called an Ice Gatling Gun, right?"

"How...how did you know!"

Luo Xuefeng thought that the police officer in front of him, who was in his early thirties, probably wouldn't know about what happened so many years ago.

How old was he at the time of the incident?

It seems that my appearance today was a case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead.

Not only can they not help Peng Yuanyuan, they also end up getting involved themselves.

Luo Xuefeng thought again, things shouldn't have come to this point yet.

That case happened so long ago, more than 20 years ago, I think it was called something like "the expiration date has passed".

Besides, all the parties involved in the case have turned to dust. There's no need for the Anti-Stabilization Bureau to keep harping on this case, is there?

"Ma Jie, Lao Yang, take him to the interrogation room. You two go first. Xiong Sifu and I will be there shortly!"

"good!"

Li Nan went directly to Xiong Yingjun's office, and of course, also called Yang Zhengning, who was always bothered by his hair.

Li Nan told the two of them about Luo Xuefeng and her own speculations.

Upon hearing this, Vice President Yang flew into a rage. Oh, right, he had no hair.

"I'm about to swear! I can't believe I've found someone who was involved back then after all these years! My hair!"

Xiong Yingjun also had a strong attachment to this case, but compared to Bald Yang, he was much simpler; he just wanted to know the truth!

"When the cross-sea bridge case happened, I felt sorry for it, thinking that all the parties involved had passed away and the truth would never be found. I never expected that heaven would have eyes!"

Vice President Yang's resentment subsided slightly. "Old Xiong, I said back then that such an awesome Gatling gun couldn't have been made by that brute Wang Fulu alone. See? See? I was right!"

"Yes, Lao Yang, I've thought about that too, but this case was too complicated to investigate before, and then it dried up completely, making it even harder to get started! Now, Luo Xuefeng is definitely a breakthrough!"

After Xiong Sifu finished speaking, he noticed that Yang Zhengning, who was usually very talkative, suddenly fell silent and touched his big, shiny egg.

"Old Yang, what's wrong with you? The truth is about to be revealed, why are you feeling sad?"

Xiong Yingjun patted Yang Zhengning on the shoulder, "A grown man like me doesn't play these games!"

Vice Minister Yang snapped out of his reverie and explained somewhat forlornly, “Actually, we all know the truth. We just want the murderer to confess! Former county head Zhang Youqian is already buried. Even if Luo Xuefeng tells the truth now, can we reopen this case that has passed the statute of limitations? What can we do to him?”

Li Nan and Xiong Yingjun fell silent after hearing this.

Yes, the case is now 23 years old. Not only has the murderer been brought to justice, but more importantly, the three-year statute of limitations for criminal prosecution has already expired.

Both publicly and privately, the Stability Bureau is powerless to do anything about it.

On a personal level, the victim's family of four, along with the Ice Archer Wang Fulu, have all turned to dust many years ago. If there is an afterlife, they might all be married and have started families by now.

From an official standpoint, the statute of limitations has expired. Just like the case of Qin Wen's father back then, what use is it other than revealing the truth to their family and letting Li Na marry a good wife?

The three men went to the interrogation room, stood outside the window, and listened to Luo Xuefeng's account.

Prompted by Li Nan, and with Yang Bairong, a witness to what happened back then, Luo Xuefeng confessed the whole story after some questioning.

The truth revealed by Luo Xuefeng seems to be somewhat different from what Li Nan and the others guessed.

According to Luo Xuefeng's confession, he was merely an insider at the time, or more precisely, a mouthpiece.
