Jiang Hejun became more and more proud as he spoke. "And I saw it with my own eyes. The real reason those black-robed men kidnapped Ye Qingxue was because of you. Of all the people present, they chose you. What else do you have to explain?"
"Captain Jiang, you are speaking so righteously now. You haven't forgotten who was showing off and put us in a passive situation, right?" Li Yining said jokingly.
She continued, "It's one thing for me to be beaten, but I've also implicated our entire police department. As the captain of the National Security Bureau, how can I be charged with dereliction of duty?"
"You...you..." Jiang Hejun was speechless and his face instantly turned purple. His previous behavior was indeed weird, and if the higher-ups really investigated it, he would definitely be to blame.
As they were talking, sirens were heard in the distance.
The police car whizzed to a stop in front of everyone, and the police officer in the car hurriedly got out and reported to Li Yining:
"Captain Li, as you instructed, we went to the Treasure Pavilion to investigate and discovered ten bodies. Preliminary identification suggests they were the victims of the group of black-robed men."
Li Yining frowned. This time, ten people were killed. The whole case had turned from a kidnapping case into a terrorist attack.
She asked, "Can the deceased be identified?"
"Based on facial recognition database comparisons, we have determined that the ten deceased individuals were current staff members of the National Security Bureau and were all direct subordinates of Jiang Hejun."
Jiang Hejun's heart sank to the bottom when he heard this. He had originally planned to frame the man in black for his subordinate's death when he returned to the bureau, but now the special police brigade actually intervened.
Li Yining asked seriously, "Captain Jiang, aren't you going to explain? I don't believe you're unaware of the deaths of ten of your closest associates."
Feng Guoan's face turned pale. Ten people from his bureau died at once. Although there might be casualties every time the National Security Bureau carried out a mission, this time the casualty rate far exceeded the casualty indicators given by the superiors.
He demanded, "Jiang Hejun, what's going on? How did you take your men on this operation without approval from above? And ten of them died in this battle. How am I supposed to explain this to the higher-ups?"
Jiang Hejun was in a panic. If the news that he abused his power for personal gain and caused the deaths of ten public officials were to get out, not only would his future career be in jeopardy, but even if his family stepped in, they might not be able to protect him.
He said stubbornly, "Director Feng, I had no choice. When Miss Ye was kidnapped, I happened to be investigating a case near the Treasure Pavilion with my men. When I heard the noise, I immediately led the team to rescue her.
I didn't expect... that as soon as we entered, we were ambushed by these powerful black-robed men. Except for me, the rest of the team members were killed."
After Jiang Hejun finished speaking, two tears squeezed out of the corners of his eyes and he pretended to be in tears.
Li Yining frowned and thought. These words, combined with Jiang Hejun's behavior at the scene, were full of doubts, but she couldn't say anything now without reliable evidence.
Ye Qingxue looked as if she had suddenly realized something. She had been so frightened that she almost forgot what had happened in the Treasure Pavilion.
"You're lying! You weren't there at all. And those people were wearing black clothes and masks. They weren't there to rescue me. Their original intention was to kidnap me, but the black-robed man got there first."
Long Yi sneered, "Captain Jiang, this is the first time I've heard of someone dressing up as a robber to rescue someone. Is this a unique tradition of your National Security Bureau?"
Jiang Hejun's face turned purple. Now that things had turned out like this, he regretted it deeply.
He explained feebly, "This... I've been waiting outside the whole time. My subordinate Liu Chaoran is handling this matter. I don't know the specific situation."
A trace of contempt flashed in Long Yi's eyes, "Captain Jiang, it's so hard to be your brother. Not only do I have to do all these messed up things for you, but even if I die, I still have to take the blame for you.
Your brother stabbed you in the back, and you stabbed him twice. Don't you feel any guilt at all?"
Jiang Hejun said angrily, "Long Yi, stop slandering me here. Without any evidence, why do you suspect that I was the one who ordered this?"
Long Yi sarcastically said, "I just said it casually, Captain Jiang, why are you so anxious?
I suspect that what happened was this: Captain Jiang wanted to play the hero and save the beauty to win Ye Qingxue's heart, so he first sent his men to pretend to be robbers to kidnap Ye Qingxue, and then you rescued her.
Unfortunately, those black-robed men got there first, and all the men you sent out were killed. When you went up to pretend to be cool, you didn't know the truth, and that's when you got beaten to a pulp by the real robbers."
After Long Yi's words, everyone on the scene instantly connected the whole thing.
Li Yining said, "No wonder you were already waiting there with the National Security Bureau when our SWAT team arrived. It turns out this was all planned."
Ye Qingxue said angrily, "Jiang Hejun, you can think of such a despicable method. You really can't judge a person by his appearance. I feel sick just by looking at you!"
Jiang Hejun quickly explained, "Qingxue, that's not the case at all. Don't listen to Long Yi's instigation. I really want to send my men to rescue you."
Feng Guoan was so angry that his face turned green. Normally, kidnapping was not part of the National Security Bureau's job description. How could Jiang Hejun appear at the scene by such a coincidence? There must be something fishy going on.
He said coldly, "Jiang Hejun, your desecration of public office directly led to the deaths of ten public officials. Prepare to accept the investigation of the special task force."
Although Jiang Hejun was promoted by him, after such a serious murder, even gods could not save Jiang Hejun. Now he wanted to distance himself from the matter so as not to implicate himself.
Long Yi took the handcuffs from the National Security Bureau subordinate in front of him and said playfully, "Captain Jiang, do you want to put these handcuffs on yourself or do you want me to put them on you personally?"
A trace of despair flashed in Jiang Hejun's eyes. Now that the situation has developed to this point, it is no longer under his control. After the case is thoroughly investigated, he may even be shot.
He took the handcuffs from Long Yi in a daze and was escorted back to the car by two National Security Bureau officers, waiting for the verdict in a few days.
Feng Guoan, the director, could not stay a moment longer after seeing such a thing happen to his subordinates. After exchanging a few words with Li Tianhai, he hurriedly drove away.
After taking a closer look, Li Tianhai said in surprise, "My dear Long, it's only been half a month since we last met in the hospital, and now I can't even see through your strength. You're really formidable!"
There are only two possibilities for not being able to see through the opponent's strength. One is that he has practiced some kind of martial arts to conceal his strength, and the other is that the opponent's strength is above his own. Obviously, Long Yi belongs to the latter.
Long Yi said modestly, "Mr. Li, you are too kind. It was all just a coincidence."
