Officer Chen frowned. "But there's no concrete evidence to prove they did it. Even if we wanted to detain them, it wouldn't be legally permissible!"
The policewoman always upheld the principle of upholding justice, so when she heard her mentor's words, she instinctively felt the urge to rebel.
"Although there is no direct evidence pointing to them yet, the events of last night were unrelated to them. So, the murder that happened yesterday morning must be related to them, right?"
"If you really let them go today, what will the people at the police station think of us? What will netizens say about us?"
After all, yesterday morning's incident already resulted in one death and two injuries! Now, the incident last night has happened, and the entire capital is reporting on both incidents... It's just that because the incidents are so serious, the total number of deaths and injuries is nearly six.
This would cause panic, and the names of the two suspects, Mu Liangliang and Mo Xiaoqing, were not released when this incident was reported!
Officer Chen thought it made sense and nodded. "How about this, have someone keep them under surveillance until we conduct further investigation. If we determine that they are not suspects, we can withdraw them."
Similarly, if evidence is found to prove that the two of them were responsible, they can be arrested immediately.
"master…"
"Alright, that's enough. This matter is settled!"
He also knew that even if the murder that happened last night was not based on conclusive evidence, there were indeed many witnesses who saw the murder that happened yesterday morning!
So even excluding what happened last night, they have every reason to detain Mu Liangliang and Mo Xiaoqing.
"Although what happened this morning was a done deal, what happened last night was really too strange. Couldn't three grown men handle two girls?"
Moreover, all three victims were lying face up. One of them had been stabbed in the chest, and the other two were beaten to death!
Mo Xiaoqing and Mu Liangliang were lying in the deceased's private room, looking as if they were drunk...
"These two things seem unrelated, but they are both strange. If it were you, would you lie on the ground waiting for us to arrest you after you killed someone?"
After hearing her mentor's analysis, the policewoman also felt that something was amiss, and said hesitantly, "Perhaps this is their cleverness! They're trying to make us suspect that the two of them weren't the murderers!"
"But don't forget, most of the people who died this time were wealthy. Although such wealthy people are not uncommon in the capital, it's still surprising that three wealthy people died in one night, all in the same private room, and the suspects were two seemingly unarmed girls who lay on the ground after committing the murders..."
Officer Chen thought for a moment and then added, "Oh, I forgot to mention, both girls were already drunk. Don't you think there's something suspicious about all of this?"
"..." Indeed, something is definitely not right!
The policewoman struggled with her thoughts for a long time, unable to make sense of it all. Then she remembered there was another suspect in the case and changed the subject, asking, "The other girl's attitude was much better. Judging from her obedient and well-behaved appearance, she doesn't seem to be 18 years old yet. She must be Mu Liangliang's assistant!"
"Interrogate her first!"
Just as Officer Chen and the policewoman were about to go to another interrogation room, a new male intern from the police station quickly walked up to him. Perhaps he was a little anxious, as his forehead was covered in sweat.
"Officer Chen, the chief wants to see you."
Upon hearing this, the policewoman instinctively looked at Officer Chen beside her.
"Master, is the bureau chief looking for you...?" She hesitated, her expression grave, as if lost in thought.
Officer Chen paused, then reflexively frowned. He noticed the new officer was slightly out of breath, but after only two seconds, he looked away, turned around, and strode away.
The young policeman and the policewoman were left staring at each other in bewilderment.
The director's office door was left open, as if it were waiting for someone to arrive.
"Report!"
Officer Chen stood at the door and shouted in a loud voice.
"Come in."
The voices inside were devoid of emotion.
Officer Chen's heart sank deeper and deeper. His already heavy heart grew even heavier the moment he stepped into the office…
Especially the middle-aged man sitting upright at his desk, now twirling the pen in his hand with an inscrutable expression.
Almost the instant he stood in front of his desk, he couldn't wait to ask, "Did you just arrest two prisoners, one of whom is named Mo Xiaoqing?"
Officer Chen was already interrogating Mo Xiaoqing. "Yes, I was thinking about it. Don't worry, Chief, I will definitely solve this case as soon as possible."
He knew their bureau chief's temperament best; he was extremely concerned about his image and was the kind of person who would rather suffer than lose face. This incident was so egregious and had such a huge impact that it's still being discussed online!
The bureau chief was seething with anger and had nowhere to vent it when Officer Chen happened to walk right into his line of fire, cursing and spitting as he yelled, "What the hell? Chen Jingyu, from now on, when you arrest people, open your eyes wide and look carefully! I'm telling you, release him right now!"
Chen Jingyu, "..."
Didn't the bureau chief call him in to give him a deadline to solve the case? Or has the bureau chief been driven crazy by the online comments?
