“If you have a clear conscience, you have nothing to fear. I’m a policeman, what are you afraid of?” An Xin said.
Tang Ping scoffed and laughed, "Heh, a policeman? Do you know who's in charge in Jinghai after midnight? If a group of gunmen came to kill us right now, how many bullets could you take on by yourself? My dear Officer An, wake up! I don't have time to play these riddles with you. Tell me or I'm going back to sleep. You're wasting my time!"
After saying that, Tang Ping turned and left.
At this moment, An Xin finally couldn't help but speak up, saying, "Something's happened, do you know?"
Tang Ping stopped in his tracks, turned his head and asked in confusion, "What happened? Uncle Tai almost got his head blown off? I already knew about this."
“That’s not what I meant. I caught one of the gunmen, and he’s confessed now. The person who hired him…”
At this point, An Xin seemed to pause deliberately, then stared sharply at Tang Ping.
Tang Ping paused for a moment, then said, "You've caught the person, so you should interrogate them right away. Once you've got the information, you can catch the mastermind. Wait, what are you trying to say? An Xin, are you crazy? You don't actually think I hired the gunman, do you?"
"It's not just a belief, it's a certainty."
An Xin continued to stare at him.
"Are you crazy? I have no grudge against Uncle Tai. Would I be so stupid as to hire a gunman to kill him? Besides, where would I find a gunman?"
"Besides, I'm a man of some means, with so many businesses. Would I be crazy enough to do these things?" Tang Ping immediately became agitated and said a lot of things in an agitated manner.
An Xin remained silent for a while, not saying a word.
Tang Ping felt that An Xin was absolutely obsessed, and waved his hand, saying, "An Xin, I advise you not to waste your time on me. I didn't do it. This matter is most likely Zhao Yu's doing. If you're really capable and upright, go find Zhao Yu, don't harm us ordinary people, okay?"
An Xin laughed and said, "Tang Ping, you're no ordinary citizen. However, based on what you just said, I can clear you of suspicion."
Upon hearing this, Tang Ping immediately understood An Xin's meaning; he had just been testing him.
He was waiting to see if Tang Ping would let something slip. In fact, he had no evidence at all, and the person who had spoken out hadn't said anything about Tang Ping.
Having guessed An Xin's intentions, Tang Ping's face darkened immediately, and he said coldly, "Don't bother me anymore. Coming to the beach to enjoy the cold wind late at night, do you know I make millions a minute?"
After saying that, Tang Ping turned to leave.
"Hey, Tang Ping, wait a minute!"
An Xin was about to call out to Tang Ping, but suddenly he saw a white mass floating on the beach, being pushed onto the sand by the waves.
That was clearly a corpse!
Out of professional instinct, An Xin rushed over immediately.
Tang Ping noticed it too. He had just gotten into the car when he turned around and got out again. He followed An Xin to the beach and then saw a swollen corpse that had been soaked in seawater.
The person must be dead.
However, the primary cause of death was not drowning; there were two obvious bloody holes in his shoulder and chest, indicating he had been shot.
This is not only a murder case, but it also involves firearms.
"Who is this? Jinghai is in such chaos. How come there are murders and arson everywhere?" Tang Ping asked in confusion.
An Xin kept staring at the corpse's face, and only he recognized that the person was Wang Eryong.
An Xin had been keeping an eye on Wang Dayong's younger brother, the one in the hospital, the night he shot Uncle Tai, but unfortunately he managed to escape.
"Tang Ping, you have been completely cleared of suspicion."
After looking at it for a long time, An Xin took out his Anjian phone and took a few photos. Then he said, "This person is called Wang Eryong. He was there the night Uncle Tai was shot. It seems you really are alright."
"Are you out of your mind? I already said this has nothing to do with me, but you insist on clinging to me like a lunatic. If you're so capable, go and arrest Zhao Yu!"
Tang Ping was truly furious.
Even at this point, An Xin was starting to doubt whether there was something wrong with him.
"Heh, you think I wouldn't dare to arrest him? Just you wait, one day I'll personally arrest Zhao Yue and watch him be sentenced!"
An Xin said through gritted teeth, then stared at Tang Ping, grabbed his collar, and threatened, "As for you, don't let yourself fall into my hands, or I'll make you suffer a terrible death."
"Officer An, are you threatening me? Can I call the police? My personal safety is seriously threatened." Tang Ping pushed away An Xin's hand and said with a sneer, "I know you're unhappy and resentful that I stole Meng Yu, right? But there's nothing you can do. When fate comes, you can't stop it. The person Meng Yu likes is me!"
An Xin gritted his teeth and remained silent.
"I'm going to marry her! And remember to come to the wedding!"
Tang Ping smiled, threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, turned around, got into the car, and drove away.
An Xin wanted to chase after them, but after glancing back at the corpses on the beach, he gritted his teeth and held back, then called the bureau.
The deceased was indeed Wang Eryong; the forensic report has been released.
"The time of death was between 1:45 a.m. and 2:30 a.m. last night. The deceased had been shot before his death. Judging from the position and distance of the gun muzzle, the person who shot him was probably someone he knew. The sudden attack caused him to panic and jump into the sea. He eventually drowned due to excessive blood loss."
"I believe the deceased, Wang Eryong, participated in the shooting of Chen Tai and fled in panic. He then attempted to escape by sea under the arrangement of his benefactor, but was murdered to silence him. The location where the body was found is not the primary crime scene. Furthermore, does anyone have any opinions?"
In the conference room of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, An Xin gave a brief analysis of the case and then asked a question.
"According to intelligence, the gun used to kill the victim was a replica of the Type 54 pistol. This type of gun is quite common in the black market and can be bought for tens of thousands of yuan, making it difficult to trace."
"We have found the first crime scene, but after conducting an on-site investigation, we did not find any clues. However, we found two fingerprints, which are currently being compared."
The case of Uncle Tai's shooting has been handed over to An Xin, who is the team leader. He leads a team that is basically composed of elites from the Municipal Public Security Bureau. Everyone is sharing their opinions and the clues they have obtained.
But these alone are not enough evidence.
An Xin frowned and thought for a while before saying, "We still have to start with Wang Dayong. Once he agrees, everything will be much easier."
“Anxin, are you still going? Judging from Wang Dayong’s demeanor yesterday, he clearly doesn’t intend to cooperate.”
"Isn't that your fault?"
An Xin took a deep breath and then said, "I'll try again. If that doesn't work, we'll have to rely on fingerprint comparison. Who's in charge of the Grand Palace now? Zhang Biao, go over there later and bring a few of the responsible people over for routine questioning, and also collect their fingerprints for comparison!"
How many are you bringing?
Zhang Biao didn't hear clearly and asked a question.
What do you think?
An Xin asked a question in return, then turned and left.
