Chapter 321 Mysterious Statue
Yue Xiaofeng turned around and said, "I have to go to the evidence room again to sort out the evidence and see if there are any clues I've missed. I have a feeling there must be something fishy in that pile of stuff."
Xu Lin thought to herself, "I've checked that pile of stuff a million times. If there was anything fishy going on, I'd have found it by now."
But when she saw Yue Xiaofeng's unyielding look, she couldn't open her mouth. Forget it, if you want to check, then check! Anyway, if you can't find anything, you have to return the things to Nangong tomorrow.
Xu Lin nodded to him: "Go!"
When Yue Xiaofeng heard this, he left without looking back.
He came to the evidence room alone. Late at night, it looked particularly deserted and gloomy. There was only one police officer on duty, Zhao Lei, dozing off on the counter.
Yue Xiaofeng: "If the boss sees you like this, I guess you won't even be allowed to guard the evidence room anymore."
Zhao Lei: "We are all made of flesh and blood, not iron and steel. It is normal to feel sleepy!"
Yue Xiaofeng didn't have time to argue with him because he had to check the evidence against the clock.
He threw his police ID on the counter and walked straight into the evidence room.
Yue Xiaofeng looked at the evidence again and again, circled and noted on his notebook, and finally turned his attention to the statue hidden in an unknown corner.
Under the dim light, the statue still exudes a dazzling look, standing there without anger or joy.
Yue Xiaofeng stared at him intently, wondering why a statue would be hidden in a hospital laboratory? Why did Nangong seem to have a special interest in this statue?
There was a "bang" sound, as if something fell to the ground.
Yue Xiaofeng instinctively pulled out his gun from his waist and shouted, "Who?"
The evidence room was completely silent, and the sound just now seemed like an auditory hallucination and did not exist at all.
Yue Xiaofeng walked forward step by step, holding the gun tightly, to check. As he walked, he suddenly heard a "click" from behind and lost consciousness.
When he woke up, he found himself surrounded by a group of people chattering and making noise.
Xu Lin: "Are you awake?"
Yue Xiaofeng rubbed his temples with both hands and stood up reluctantly with the help of Xu Lin.
"How can this be possible?" he asked, bewildered.
Xu Lin: "How dare you ask me this? Shouldn't I be the one asking you? Last night you said you were here to check for evidence, but you didn't come back all night. I thought you'd found some important clues, so I didn't come out to look for you. Who knew that this morning, a friend came to check for evidence and found you sleeping on the floor. If you're really that tired, just go home and sleep. It's so embarrassing and awkward to be seen sleeping on the floor!"
Yue Xiaofeng: "I didn't fall asleep due to exhaustion. Someone attacked me from behind. I lost consciousness and passed out on the ground."
People around started talking.
"How is this possible? Who would be so bold as to attack a police officer in the police station?"
"Exactly. I think he's just too tired from work and is hallucinating."
"Xiao Feng, you should go home and rest for a while! Look how tired you are!"
"That's right, you're hallucinating."
Yue Xiaofeng: "What do I have to say to make you believe me? Someone really attacked me. It wasn't an illusion. Xu Lin, they can all choose not to believe me, but you must believe me!"
Xu Lin: "Personally, you're my husband, so of course I trust you unconditionally. But as police officers, we should set aside personal feelings and trust only the evidence. I can check the surveillance footage to see if there was anyone else in the evidence room besides you. But you must go home and rest now."
Yue Xiaofeng: "I want to check the surveillance video too."
Xu Lin: "This is an order, you must execute it."
Under the gazes of so many outsiders, Yue Xiaofeng really had no way to quarrel with Xu Lin. He turned around and looked at the surrounding environment. It was exactly the same as before he fainted last night.
Yue Xiaofeng: "Captain, I can still hold on. Please let me stay in the team! I can't be absent at such an important time, and you can't do without my help."
Xu Lin: "If your stubborn temper gets out of hand, even eight bulls can't pull you back. Okay, go check the surveillance first."
Yue Xiaofeng watched the surveillance video of that night over and over again, but he didn't find any clues. He was indeed the only one who entered the evidence room that night, but the bruise on his neck was still painful, reminding him that this was not a dream.
He went to find Zhao Lei, the police officer on duty that night.
"You really didn't notice anything strange that night?"
Zhao Lei: "Although I love to doze off, I wouldn't neglect my duties so much. Even if I just went to the bathroom for a few minutes, I would lock the door before going. You were the only one in there that night, and there was no one else."
Yue Xiaofeng really had no choice. Further investigation would yield no results, so he could only let the matter go.
Xu Lin gathered the police officers involved in this case and held a meeting.
"Thank you all for your hard work during this period. Although we still have nothing to show for it, we have done our best and we are worthy of our police uniforms and the oath we swore. If you keep thinking about something, it will eventually pay off. I believe that God will see our efforts and the truth will come to light one day."
Yue Xiaofeng: "This is the only way we can comfort ourselves now. How will Nangong explain those Ebola virus test tubes?"
Xu Lin: "They said it was for medical research. I don't have any evidence right now. If we continue investigating, I'm afraid we'll make a big mess. Not only will we not be able to catch him, but we'll also implicate many more innocent people."
Yue Xiaofeng: "You mean..."
Xu Lin nodded to him, signaling him not to continue.
Yue Xiaofeng slammed the table in anger, "Damn it, he got away with it again."
Xiang Yingying: "Then when are we going to send the things back to them?"
Xu Lin: "Let's send the things back this afternoon. We won't be able to keep them anyway, and they'll just take up space and be an eyesore."
Xiang Yingying: "I raise my hand in favor."
At this time, everyone's eyes were all looking at Yue Xiaofeng.
Xu Lin was also feeling quite uneasy at this time. From her point of view, Yue Xiaofeng would not let go easily. He was almost obsessed with this. Bringing Nangong to justice had become his obsession. If she wanted to return the evidence to Nangong now, Yue Xiaofeng would probably be the first one to disagree.
Yue Xiaofeng also noticed everyone's confusion. He said slowly, "Why are you all looking at me? I didn't say I was against it. Since you all agree, the minority must obey the majority. This is settled."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then went about preparing to return the things to Nangong Yu in the afternoon.
Xu Lin secretly pulled Yue Xiaofeng aside and asked, "Are you really okay?"
Yue Xiaofeng: "What can happen to me? It's just a case. It's just an ordinary thing for me. A small setback is always a motivation. Honey, don't worry! I won't let work emotions affect my normal judgment. And I already have a new overall plan in my mind."
Xu Lin was skeptical: "Are you telling the truth? Tell me about your chances!"
