Chapter 328 So Many Big Shots
Xiao Peichuan had been holding his breath, but after hearing the whole story, he suddenly felt relieved.
Without knowing who they were, the names that person extracted from their confession were indeed suspicious. Even more suspicious were the people he mentioned earlier; they had likely fled. No one with impropriety would run away; only those with suspicious circumstances would escape before receiving information.
It can only be said that they were likely deliberately plotted against, and they may not even know who plotted against them.
Perhaps it was the person who was exposed and interrogated, or perhaps it was one of those who escaped, or even that person is still hiding in the shadows. The last one is the worst possible outcome.
"So you think you have no problems?" Xiao Changsui asked, his eyes fixed on the couple. "Don't think that just because you have connections you can do whatever you want."
Xiao Peichuan: ...
Oh, this guy is really persistent. If they didn't know it themselves, they would really think he's a good guy, upholding justice.
But they were too insistent, and the key point is that they weren't.
"We can't do whatever we want; all we can say is that we are innocent."
Xiao Changsui didn't speak, but his expression clearly showed that he still didn't believe it.
"Hey, you guys arrested Lin Xiaotao, right? Release her right now." Just as the atmosphere among them was silent, a few people suddenly walked in from outside.
"Yes, release them immediately. Lin Xiaotao and her husband couldn't possibly be those people."
"Don't arrest the wrong person and let the real culprit escape."
“We old guys can vouch for it.”
As each person entered, their pupils dilated in shock when they saw who it was.
There was no way around it; none of them were ordinary people who could meet them, and each of them was a powerful figure who could shake the world with a stomp of their foot. They came here because of a couple.
The minister felt his heart pounding. He couldn't help but glare at Xiao Changsui. "You're in trouble!"
If we had released them earlier, would we have had to wait for this group of people to come in person?
Xiao Changsui himself was also confused.
He felt there was something wrong with the couple, and he also felt there was something wrong with the people behind them, but he never expected that the problem was with these people.
If everyone who comes here has problems, then Xiao Changsui feels that the whole situation is in danger.
So, it really was just a misunderstanding?
Lu Feng was also dumbfounded. He felt that he and the captain were wrong, and the minister was right.
The minister was momentarily stunned, but replied directly, "Don't worry, we're releasing them right now. Lin Xiaotao and Comrade Xiao Peichuan are absolutely fine."
"Haha, that's good, that's good. Lin Xiaotao and Comrade Xiao Peichuan are definitely upright and have impeccable credentials, there's no problem with them. If they have problems, then we guys have even more problems. But you're doing this for the mission and for the sake of the whole team, so your actions are fine too."
"Yes, yes, they are all good people, well done."
"This matter must be investigated thoroughly, thoroughly. If someone would scheme against our researchers like this, it's clear that this person is still hiding."
"We absolutely must investigate this kind of person thoroughly, otherwise, if they hide even deeper, our losses will be even greater in the future."
"Yes, yes, don't worry, we will definitely intensify our investigation and not let any suspicious person go unpunished. Of course, Lin Xiaotao and Xiao Peichuan are definitely safe."
"Haha, we're giving you the authority. Go ahead and investigate. If anyone resists, just say we told you to. Just keep investigating!"
"Yes!" This time, the minister was no longer just shocked, but excited.
In fact, the matter they were investigating was full of suspicious points, but they couldn't investigate many aspects in depth.
Now that the higher-ups have loosened their grip, it means they can conduct a more in-depth investigation, which makes it even more impeccable.
The minister and several leaders exchanged a few more words, and the leader turned to Xiao Taohua and her husband with a smile: "This time it was their mistake. Don't worry, you are all fine now."
"Thank you," Xiao Peichuan and Xiao Taohua said sincerely.
"No need to thank me. Hurry home, or your family will worry."
Xiao Peichuan said nothing more this time, bid farewell to everyone, and left with Xiao Taohua.
After the couple left, the leaders who had arrived also took their leave one by one. It was clear that they had all come for the sake of Xiao Taohua and her husband.
"Minister, Lin Xiaotao is awesome." Lu Feng couldn't help but give her a thumbs up.
They had investigated thoroughly. Lin Xiaotao's background was simple, and Xiao Peichuan had some status, but to get so many big shots to come and mediate, it was truly remarkable that Class One and Class Two were capable. They felt that their investigation was not detailed enough.
"Don't even think about investigating anything!" The minister knew Lu Feng's character all too well and glared at him.
"I was just curious, hehe."
"What's there to be curious about? Since we've ruled out that the other party is not a suspect, then we have no right to investigate further!"
Lu Feng couldn't help but touch his nose, and he looked at Xiao Changsui.
The minister also looked at Xiao Changsui: "Now you know, if it's really a suspicious person, everyone will have to play along. There's no need for such roundabout methods. A single word or a scheme by someone can have a far more earth-shattering impact than what happened at the research institute."
Xiao Changsui pursed his lips. Indeed, he was wrong this time. However, he only admitted to arresting the wrong person and going in the wrong direction. But if time could start over, he would still arrest the wrong person.
The minister understood Xiao Changsui perfectly well. He sighed helplessly, shook his head, and left, saying, "Continue your investigation. You've been given more authority by the higher-ups, so don't let them down." With that, he waved and walked away with a flourish.
He has a lot on his plate and can't stay here indefinitely.
After the minister left, Lu Feng approached Xiao Changsui and said, "Captain, what's Lin Xiaotao's real identity? Is she really a miracle doctor? But even if she is, she wouldn't have treated so many big shots. And the people in Xiaolin Village and Bailin Town that we investigated are really a bit crazy. You don't know, many families have memorial tablets with the name Lin Xiaotao in them, and they even offer incense. Our people have tried it; if anyone says anything bad about Lin Xiaotao, the people there will fight you to the death, or you'd better get away as soon as possible, as if some disaster will befall you. Is this really not a cult?"
Lu Feng had too many questions, but would Xiao Changsui be the one to answer them?
That is definitely impossible.
So he only glanced at Lu Feng before continuing his investigation.
Lu Feng: ...
"Alright," he said, touching his nose, and quickly followed.
This case still needs to be investigated; we can't let ourselves be led by the nose by certain people with ulterior motives again.
Those with a heart were comfortably settled in Sai Taiyang, another resettlement point set up by the research institute. Since the fire, everyone had been sent here. Compared to the poor conditions at the research institute, this place was like paradise. It had everything, abundant resources, and even a continuous water supply, so there was no need to be careful with it.
"An Xian, who exactly are you?!" Wang Xiaoming burst in from outside, his eyes bloodshot, staring intently at the other person!
