Chapter 170 Arousing Killing Intent
Xu Lin looked at his shameless face and felt both angry and ridiculous, but deep down in her heart there was still a sweet and warm current of love.
Xu Lin: "That's more like it. You're sweet-talking and quick-witted. I'll let you off this time."
Yue Xiaofeng stood up and kissed her on the cheek: "Thank you, my wife."
Xu Lin: "Hey, did you know? Ke Xiaodong's family is moving to Shanghai tonight."
Yue Xiaofeng: "Can't they survive here anymore?"
Xu Lin: "That's definitely unbearable. Think about it, they live in police dormitories, surrounded by police officers. They hate the corrupt police the most. You can imagine their predicament."
Yue Xiaofeng: "Although the disaster didn't reach my family, I can't really blame the police. They risked their lives fighting outside, and you black policemen shot them in the back. It makes me angry just thinking about it."
Xu Lin: "Have you ever considered that Ke Xiaodong might have been wrongly accused?"
Yue Xiaofeng: "Wife, didn't we agree not to discuss business matters at home? Why are you breaking the rules again?"
Xu Lin: "I just have questions in my heart, don't I? You know, once my heart gets tangled up and I can't find the answers, I feel incredibly miserable. It's a misery that can't be expressed in words."
Yue Xiaofeng: "Oh, if you have anything you want to know, just ask! As long as I know what I can tell you, I will tell you the truth. But please don't talk about the video. The principle of evidence is non-negotiable."
Xu Lin: "Didn't you notice the three big characters "Tony Leung" in Ke Xiaodong's study? Why didn't you focus on investigating him?"
Yue Xiaofeng: "Of course there is nothing there, but apart from those three typings, there is really nothing to check!"
Xu Lin: "The last call Ke Xiaodong received was from Tony Leung Chiu Wai. Did he give any explanation for the incident?"
Yue Xiaofeng: "He said that Ke Xiaodong came to him that day to discuss reinstatement, but Tony Leung Chiu-wai refused due to pressure from his superiors. Seeing how dejected and disappointed he looked before he left, Tony Leung Chiu-wai was afraid he might be upset, so he called to comfort him. I think this makes sense. Is there anything suspicious about it?"
Xu Lin: "That's all just his one-sided story. It's ridiculous. I find it very suspicious. We just met, and he had to make a special phone call to comfort her instead of explaining everything in person. Even a woman wouldn't be so hypocritical, let alone two grown men who are police officers."
Yue Xiaofeng: "Isn't what you said also one-sided?"
Xu Lin: "The last person Ke Xiaodong saw was very likely Tony Leung Chiu Wai. Even if it wasn't him, he must have been involved. Why don't you check his whereabouts that night?"
Yue Xiaofeng: "Wait, how did you know that the last call Ke Xiaodong received was from Tony Leung Chiu Wai? Did you see his phone?"
Xu Lin: "No, if I could see his phone, would I bother to tell you this? I checked it myself at the telecom business hall."
Yue Xiaofeng: "How can you check if you don't have a police ID? Telecom staff are so easy to leak customer information nowadays?"
Xu Lin: "For the convenience of work, which police officer doesn't have a few police ID cards to carry around? How can such a small thing be difficult for me?"
Yue Xiaofeng: "I think you are crazy. Don't do this again in the future, otherwise I will catch you myself."
Xu Lin: "Okay, okay, let's try to talk less about this from now on."
Yue Xiaofeng: "You're pregnant, so just stay home and don't go anywhere, okay?"
Xu Lin: "I understand. I'll try my best!"
The next day, as soon as Yue Xiaofeng got to work, Xu Lin couldn't wait to call Jun Lan to come over.
Jun Lan didn't see Yue Xiaofeng this time and felt a little strange, so she asked her, "Where's your husband?"
Xu Lin: "I told him everything last night, and he seemed a little unhappy. How could I dare to let him know that we were going to look for Tony Leung Chiu Wai?"
Jun Lan: "No way? You are doing this behind your husband's back? If he finds out, won't it affect your relationship?"
Xu Lin: "There's nothing we can do about it."
Jun Lan: "Then what do you want to do?"
Xu Lin: "Needless to say? Of course I'll go find Tony Leung and ask him for clarification."
The two of them went to the anti-drug team to find Tony Leung. When he knew that Xu Lin was coming to see him, he was shocked for a moment and then returned to his normal state.
Tony Leung invited them into his office and treated them warmly.
Xu Lin: "Captain Liang, now that Mo Xiaoyi's case is closed, I believe that justice has been done for him. Why do you still look so worried?"
Tony Leung Chiu-wai: "The price is too high. I just lost a brother here, and now another one has died over there. It's like someone chopped off my left and right arms. Without these two capable assistants, how can I handle cases in the future?"
Xu Lin: "No matter how capable they are, they are just a bunch of bad apples. If these people stay in the police force, the more capable they are, the more trouble they will cause. So, Captain Liang, you must have the courage to cut off your arm. Only by enduring the pain for a moment can you avoid the worry for a hundred days."
Tony Leung Chiu Wai: "Captain Xu is right. I was too emotional and soft-hearted."
Xu Lin: "Can you tell me why you called Ke Xiaodong that day?"
Tony Leung Chiu Wai: "Who are you to ask me this?"
Xu Lin: "Will my identity affect your answer?"
Tony Leung Chiu-wai: "Yes, there is a slight difference in my attitude towards law enforcement officers and friends."
Xu Lin smiled and said, "How can I, a pregnant woman with a big belly, be a law enforcement officer right now? Just think of it as asking you as a friend."
Tony Leung Chiu Wai: "Then I'm afraid your special trip here was unnecessary. I've already told everyone in your team everything I need to say. I believe your husband Yue Xiaofeng should have also gone back to report to you."
Xu Lin: "I have heard them say that, but I still want to hear your side of the story in person."
Tony Leung Chiu Wai: "Even if you ask me a hundred times, I'll still say the same thing. I called him because I was really worried about him. If I had known that call would cause me so much trouble, I would have not called him."
Xu Lin: "It's okay, Captain Liang. It's normal for colleagues to call each other. What's more, you are all brothers who have licked blood on the edge of a knife. You have been through life and death together for so many years. It's understandable that you want to care about him a little more."
As soon as Tony Leung heard the word "brother", his face turned ugly.
Tony Leung Chiu Wai: "Then I'd like to ask you: do you believe what I say? Do you think I'm innocent?"
Xu Lin: "I've been bothering you, but now you're questioning me. Of course I believe you. As for whether you're truly innocent, I don't think it matters. What matters most is whether you actually did it or not. We're brothers. If you really did it, I'm afraid you'll have a guilty conscience for the rest of your life."
Junlan: "We went to see his family yesterday, and it looked like they weren't doing well."
