Catching The Killer Chapter 8

Facing Hua Ling's provocation, Oliver Pei not only did not get angry, but he also agreed in a good mood: "That's right, it really won't take long."

"As long as Ms. Hua hires a lawyer with a sharp tongue, you can leave here with a clear conscience."

"But what about Lin Min?" Oliver Pei paused, tapping the table. "It seems like he can't get away."

Hua Ling's smile faded: "What do you mean?"

"My point is very simple. The police have evidence that Lin Min is taking drugs," Oliver Pei looked directly into Hua Ling's eyes, "and your cash cow will be caught soon."

"Although he can only be detained for 15 days, if there are other revelations, such as being kept by Yixing's top executives, I'm sure he will be forced out of the entertainment industry soon, right?"

"Just like Dong Jing."

Oliver Pei smiled slightly: "Whether I should tell this to the media depends on your attitude, Ms. Hua."

Hua Ling was furious: "I never thought the people's police would resort to threats and intimidation."

"Who made me an internet celebrity who was used as a shield by you guys?" Oliver Pei spread his hands helplessly, "So I advise Ms. Hua that you'd better not be clever. The right thing to do is to hand over the paper and the evidence that can clear your suspicion as soon as possible."

"You know, Dong Jing could have been murdered, and you haven't been cleared of suspicion yet."

"You!" Hua Ling could no longer control her anger. She slammed the table fiercely. "You are just a small police officer. Don't speak too much."

Oliver Pei raised his eyes lazily: "But you, the noble one, are still trapped in the hands of this little policeman."

"I advise you to explain yourself. Otherwise, if you threaten the police and obstruct their duties, Ms. Hua and Lin Min will probably have to stay at the police station for a while."

Although Oliver Pei used honorifics throughout, his tone made people want to hit him.

Hua Ling also understood that if she continued to make trouble, she would be the only one who would suffer, but she just couldn't swallow this.

She has been working in society for more than 20 years, but she didn't expect that she would be caught by a young boy today.

But she was a top agent after all, so she quickly calmed herself down: "I have evidence. I kept the recording function on my phone on after entering Liyun Community. I wanted to find some evidence against Dong Jing, but what happened later was beyond my expectations, so I forgot to turn it off."

"This recording should record all my actions, and it also contains the sound of my soft screams. You can check the recording time and whether it has been edited. I have a clear conscience."

Hua Ling spoke quickly and aggressively: "This can be considered audio evidence, right? Officer Pei?"

"Of course," Oliver Pei nodded as he took notes, "where's the paper? Or rather, where's the suicide note?"

"It's in the drawer at my house," Hua Ling said, as if she had suddenly figured it out. "You can send someone to get it."

"If I'm not mistaken, the big information about Lin Min in Dong Jing's hand should be about drug dealing? Maybe it also involves Miss Damon Yang?"

Hua Ling was really surprised: "I didn't expect Officer Pei to know so much."

"But what's the use of knowing more? If you can't say it, you can't say it."

"Curiosity killed the cat, young man."

It was a nice counterattack, but unfortunately the punch hit cotton.

Oliver Pei didn't say anything at all, he just packed up the transcript and said gently: "You can leave after the police come back with the evidence. Thank you for your cooperation."

He was very polite and gentle, as if the police officer Pei whose words were so sharp that they made people lose their composure just now was fake.

Shen Zheng lit a cigarette. He didn't intend to smoke it, but just let the cigarette burn quietly between his fingers.

He had been frowning until he heard Oliver Pei say, "Who made me an internet celebrity?" Then he smiled slightly.

An Xinyao, who was watching Oliver Pei interrogating people with Shen Zheng, couldn't help but thank God and Brother Pei in her heart: Captain Shen with a serious face is so scary, like a little sun that has turned into a huge nuclear bomb that can explode at any time, and it might explode with a "boom" at any time.

"Look how scared you are," Shen Zheng couldn't help but tease, "Aren't you usually fearless?"

"The team leader who entered menopause early is extremely powerful."

An Xinyao sighed, and then immediately ran away: "Well, I'm going to Hualing's house to collect evidence!"

"See you back, boss!"

"This girl." Shen Zheng smiled, and when he turned around he found Oliver Pei standing behind him, staring at the cigarette in his hand with a bad look.

Shen Zheng immediately put out his cigarette with great tact: "No one in our group smokes, I just smell it to relax."

Then he received a puzzled look from Dr. Pei: Why are you so anxious to explain something to me?

Shen Zheng didn't know why he was so anxious, so he could only cough twice to cover up his embarrassment.

Fortunately, Oliver Pei is a capable person who can ease the atmosphere in most cases: "I see that you seem to be very upset, Brother Shen. Did you run into a snag with Director Zhao?"

---Fortunately, he noticed Shen Zheng's expression just after coming out of the interrogation room. He is worthy of being Dr. Pei who has run a psychological counseling room for a year.

"You figured it out?" Shen Zheng was not surprised. He leaned against the wall and looked a little tired. "I applied for an in-depth investigation into the forces behind Hunting, but Director Zhao rejected it."

Oliver Pei pulled a chair over and sat on it. "I guess he must have said, 'Just focus on Dong Jing's case, and don't get involved in anything beyond your scope.', right?"

Shen Zheng smiled bitterly: "Not a single word is wrong."

There is a very hard element called justice in his character, so it was indeed uncomfortable for him to let a criminal den go with his own hands.

"You don't have to blame yourself. The water here is very deep. Director Zhao will not let anyone take the risk to investigate until it can be uprooted in one go."

Oliver Pei's voice was gentle, and somehow it had a comforting and healing effect: "Before we catch the big fish, we still have a lot of small fish and shrimp to catch."

"Some things can't be rushed, take your time, take your time, one day..."

Oliver Pei did not continue here, but the blank space he left gave people more room for imagination.

"Is this how you comfort yourself?" Shen Zheng met Oliver Pei's eyes, and as expected, there was a coldness in them again.

Oliver Pei was obviously more involved in this matter as he had an internal black card that allowed him to enter and exit Hunting at will.

"Occasionally, my heart is not as delicate as Brother Shen's," Oliver Pei curved the corners of his mouth, "If I continue to be decadent, I won't be able to catch even small fish and shrimps."

"Lin Min and Damon Yang, we can't let them have too much fun, right?"

＊

However, things in the world are not always as expected. After a busy day for the entire special case team, in the end, only Lin Min was left "unhappy".

"Bang!" An Xinyao angrily threw the transcript aside and sat at her desk sulking.

"What happened to our little princess?" Ji Jie brought a cup of milk tea over, ready to calm the anger of the person in front of him, "Dong Jing's case has been closed, right? It was suicide, and the case was closed within the deadline."

Depression, a clear motive for suicide, two suicide notes, one obvious and one cryptic, plus all the suspects had alibis. There was no other conclusion to this case except suicide.

"After the test this afternoon, it is clear that Lin Min's drug use will no longer be suppressed. I guess the media will release a press release tomorrow."

"But Damon Yang ran away!" An Xinyao stamped her feet in anger, "Lin Min was pushed out by her to take the blame."

Although everyone in the special case team knew that it was Damon Yang who conducted the drug deal with Lin Min, and it was also Damon Yang who manipulated public opinion behind the scenes and cut off Dong Jing's resources, they just didn't have direct and strong evidence.

---Everything Dong Jing said in her suicide note requires evidence. The photos in Shen Zheng’s phone can only serve as supporting evidence, and the source of these photos is also somewhat suspicious.

These alone are not enough to bring down Damon Yang, after all, she has Yixing's support. As for the two people involved in the case of "Damon Yang engaging in drug dealing", one jumped from the 22nd floor and could no longer speak, while the other took all the blame.

That's right, Lin Min admitted everything, but did not mention Damon Yang at all. Instead, he gave out the name of his "superior" who had nothing to do with Yixing.

Following this line, the special case team successfully shut down a drug-related bar.

If the special case team did not know the hidden truth, then this "success" would naturally be worth celebrating; but when everyone knows everything but can only follow the path given by others, this "success" becomes particularly ironic.

"Okay, stop being angry, you're just like a child," Shen Zheng patted An Xinyao's shoulder, "Before we catch the big fish, we still have a lot of small fish and shrimp to catch."

"Don't rush. Take your time."

Oliver Pei couldn't help but glance at Shen Zheng: This guy is quite good at learning and applying what he has learned, without even changing a single word.

However, as a former police psychologist, Oliver Pei felt that he still needed to adjust the atmosphere within the group: "Brother Shen is right, and after this incident, Damon Yang's fox tail has been exposed."

"As long as she and the forces behind her are still active, we will always be able to catch them."

Shen Zheng and Oliver Pei's concerted efforts really brought back the somewhat depressed atmosphere within the special case team.

Qin Qianlan, who had been silent all this time, also returned to her usual sharp tongue: "A dog will always eat Sh!t. I don't believe they will quit from now on."

"Ding dong dong dong~" An Xinyao's Weibo notification sounded. She picked up her phone and read out the latest hot searches pushed by Weibo.

"＃林旻吸｜藥盤宰司令＃, ＃董婧确定自彈彈＃, these media outlets are really powerful in their actions."

Because Dong Jing's suicide note has not been revealed yet, no one has linked these two events together at this time.

An Xinyao also understands the media's routine. Big news must be revealed with twists and turns to be interesting, so that the popularity can be maintained for at least three days.

But when she scrolled down again, a familiar hot search came into her sight.

#Lin Min Oliver Pei#

Facing the other people's eyes that were watching the show, Oliver Pei deliberately sighed.

It seems like he can’t get rid of the title of internet celebrity blogger.
