Chapter 672: Exchange Conditions
Tu Ran: I’m sorry, Officer Bai, I may not be able to help you.
Bai Yi: It sounds like, Dr. Tu, you know something, right?
Tu Ran was silent for a moment.
Tu Ran: I do know some.
Bai Yi: I won’t let you provide it for free, Dr. Tu, I can make an exchange with you.
Without waiting for Tu Ran to answer, Bai Yi hurriedly said, "I can provide you with two pieces of information."
Tu Ran: Officer Bai, what I mean is...
Bai Yi was afraid that Tu Ran would refuse like last time, so he spoke without waiting for her to finish.
Bai Yi: First, you have to be careful of your adoptive parents.
Tu Ran was slightly stunned. When it came to her adoptive parents, she was a little confused and wondered who they were?
Then he remembered that the Lin family had always told others that they were his adoptive parents.
In fact, the Lin family knew exactly what those four years were like.
Bai Yi: After Lin Siyao disappeared, the Lin family has actually been holding a grudge against you, so you have to be careful of them. The news I received is that your adoptive parents are probably planning to plot against you. Of course, it is possible that they were sent by Xie Nancheng's enemies.
Tu Ran: Okay, I understand.
Bai Yi: The second thing is, Xie Nancheng...
Tu Ran: What's wrong?
Bai Yi: This matter is indeed quite secretive, but I think you might feel uncomfortable if you tell it out loud.
Tu Ran: It’s okay to say it, I’m not that fragile.
Bai Yi: Xie Nancheng has contacted other women privately.
Tu Ran: Hmm?
Bai Yi: Not a client, not a business dealing, you know.
Tu Ran: When?
Bai Yi: Just this morning. Of course, there's nothing wrong with meeting privately. This isn't the old society anymore. It's not like men and women can't meet alone. It's just that the woman's identity... makes me inevitably imagine things.
Tu Ran: Officer Bai, just be straightforward. There’s no need to beat around the bush.
Bai Yi: It was someone from Chen Garden, so it must be Miss Chen, but I didn’t see it with my own eyes. It’s just that one of my friends was on duty that morning and saw Xie Nancheng’s car coming out of Chen Garden, and there was a young woman sitting in the car who was dressed very exquisitely. I can’t think of anyone else except Miss Chen.
Bai Yi: Doctor Tu, I'm not deliberately trying to stir up trouble. I'm only telling you this because I consider you a friend. Xie Nancheng is a good person, but you should be cautious. The Xie family is facing frequent troubles, and Xie Nancheng's most important new energy project has been delayed. He might be looking for help from Miss Shen, given her special status.
Bai Yi: But the people in Chen Garden are definitely not short of money, so I am afraid that they can meet Miss Chen alone.
Tu Ran: Okay, I understand.
Bai Yi didn't say anything more, but during this sensitive period, Xie Nancheng met Miss Shen.
To outsiders, they all want to climb up the social ladder.
There were rumors that the young lady of the Xie family was a country girl and was not worthy of the powerful man of the Xie family.
If Miss Shen could look up to Xie Nancheng a little, then there would be no place for this young lady.
I think there are few men in the world who can resist such temptation.
Xie Nancheng's meeting with Chen Yingli was indeed kept secret, so he was very careful along the way for fear of being tracked.
But he didn't expect that the police on duty near Chenyuan was Bai Yi's man, so he found out.
But when it comes to the matter of Chenyuan, such things will definitely not be spread outside, and no media dares to report it, unless someone is tired of living.
Bai Yi: Tu Ran, don't blame me for being selfish. I just want you to give me some clues. You know, I'm already in a high position now, and with my father's connections, my future is bright whether I work or not.
Bai Yi: But I was born and raised in Hong Kong. This is my hometown. I don’t want to see anyone messing up my hometown, so I do have the responsibility to maintain peace here.
Bai Yi: The news I just gave you is also in exchange. I hope you can provide me with another clue.
Tu Ran didn't take Bai Yi's previous words to heart.
These last few sentences are quite touching.
What Bai Yi said was not wrong. He was the son of an official, handsome and capable.
In addition, since he had made great contributions in solving major cases before, the promotion and salary increase were a natural result, and no one could say anything.
A shining new star like him is a hot commodity in the police system.
Even if you do nothing and just drink tea in the office every day, you will still have a bright future.
There is really no need to take the risk of investigating any scary case. What good would it do if you get implicated?
After all, Bai Yi's character is still okay.
It's rare for him to have such awareness at such a young age.
He thought the information he gave was very important to Tu Ran, but it was actually useless.
However, Tu Ran did not say it directly, but decided to help.
Tu Ran: In that case, let me tell you a clue.
Bai Yi: That’s great, thank you very much.
Tu Ran: Don't thank me. Even if I provided a clue, you might not be able to catch the person. But you can go and check it out.
Bai Yi: Okay, you say.
Tu Ran: The way I provide clues may be different from the logic your police use to solve cases. You should first see if you agree with it.
Bai Yi: No problem, I’m all ears.
With the previous experience, Bai Yi felt that Tu Ran was extremely smart, and even felt that she had a talent for solving cases.
If she wasn't Xie Nancheng's wife, he really wanted to tell his superiors to recruit her as his colleague.
Tu Ran: So many cats dying in one night is indeed strange. And the modus operandi is the same. I guess many of you would think it's a gang, right?
Bai Yi: I did initially think so, but the forensic findings overturned my belief. The wounds on the stray cats, when their hearts and eyes were gouged out, were remarkably consistent. Such a close match wouldn't be possible if they were accomplices. I'm more inclined to believe it was a single perpetrator, perhaps someone who had a good sense of where to find stray cats.
Tu Ran: Since you believe that the crime was committed by one person, it will be easy to deal with.
Tu Ran: You are a policeman, you should be able to get the monkey.
Bai Yi: Monkey?
Tu Ran: Well, do you know what people mean by killing a chicken to scare the monkey? Why not kill a duck or a goose?
Bai Yi was confused. He, a top student, was really stumped.
Tu Ran: Because the chicken is considered to be the animal with the most yang energy, there is a saying that ghosts come running when the chicken crows.
Bai Yi: What does that have to do with this case?
Tu Ran: Don’t be anxious, just listen to me.
Bai Yi: Okay.
Tu Ran: The reason why we kill in front of the monkey is because monkeys are the most sensitive animals. They are extremely sensitive. So killing an animal with strong yang energy in front of it will have a deterrent effect. It is a kind of fear that is infinitely magnified. Do you understand?
Bai Yi: So that's how it is. So you're telling me to find a monkey and have it stay near the suspected murderer. Because the murderer slaughtered so many cats last night, even if they cleaned themselves thoroughly, the monkey would definitely be able to sense the overwhelming murderous aura and fear. So, if the monkey has a violent reaction, that person is the murderer?
