Chapter 1930: Suspect

~7 min read 1,315 words

Although they failed to kill those scum with their own hands, they avenged their parents and cleared their names.

The two returned home, and as soon as they pushed open the door, they saw a man sitting in the living room.

He was very handsome, with three-dimensional features and healthy bronze skin. He wore a beige shirt and a red tie around his neck. He looked to be twenty-four or twenty-five, drinking tea with a leisurely demeanor.

When they clearly saw the person inside, both of them froze.

Li Hao recognized this man; his name was Wang Zhiwei, the deputy captain of the city's criminal investigation team, who had once pursued Yang Ruoyun. But she had rejected him. He never expected that today he would actually appear here.

Wang Zhiwei stood up and smiled at Li Hao, saying, "Mr. Li, hello!"

Li Hao said indifferently, "May I ask what you want?" He did not welcome this person, so his tone was a bit cold.

Wang Zhiwei still had a smile on his face: "Mr. Li, don't misunderstand. I came to find student Yang for something." After speaking, he looked at Yang Ruoyun.

Yang Ruoyun said somewhat awkwardly, "Captain Wang, what do you need from me?" She had already guessed Wang Zhiwei's intention.

Wang Zhiwei pointed to the sofa: "Student Yang, please sit, let's chat for a few words."

Yang Ruoyun nodded and sat down beside Li Hao. Li Hao glanced at Wang Zhiwei, a hint of vigilance flickering in his eyes.

Wang Zhiwei picked up a bottle of red wine from the table, poured two glasses, handed them to the two, and then slowly said, "Actually, I came today mainly to thank you. Thank you for solving a cold case and helping me capture that important suspect."

Li Hao looked at him, a flash of coldness passing through his eyes: "Captain Wang, your words are too exaggerated. We just happened to meet by chance. As for that suspect, it is not certain whether he is the real culprit."

Wang Zhiwei swirled the red wine glass and said with a smile, "I know you suspect me. But where in this world are there so many coincidences? The fact that you were able to find clues so quickly itself indicates the problem."

Hearing this, Yang Ruoyun immediately felt terrified: Since Wang Zhiwei could say this, he must have possessed solid evidence.

Thinking of this, she secretly grew anxious in her heart: If this were truly the case, then she would have no way to avenge her parents. She looked at Wang Zhiwei: "Captain Wang, is what you say true? Do you really possess evidence?"

Wang Zhiwei nodded gently: "You should know that our Heilong Gang has immense power in the south; if we want to investigate something, we can quickly learn the truth. So, rest assured. As long as you hand over the evidence to me, your parents' wrongs can be cleared."

Hearing this, Yang Ruoyun breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she could let her parents rest in peace, whatever she did would be worth it.

Seeing this, Li Hao quickly grabbed Yang Ruoyun's arm and said to Wang Zhiwei, "On what basis do you guarantee that what we hand over will definitely be correct? What if you deceive us?"

Wang Zhiwei seemed to have expected Li Hao to refute, and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, you should know the rules of our Heilong Gang, right? Whatever I promise you, I will definitely do. You don't need to worry about me deceiving you."

"You..." Li Hao glared at Wang Zhiwei, looking furious.

Seeing Li Hao's angry expression, Wang Zhiwei curled his lips into a mocking smile, then stood up and said, "Alright, student Yang, come with me."

"Where are we going?" Yang Ruoyun asked instinctively.

"I know a place with nice scenery; you and Mr. Li should both go see it; perhaps it can solve the troubles in your heart." Saying this, Wang Zhiwei grabbed Yang Ruoyun's wrist and walked outside.

Li Hao quickly blocked in front of Wang Zhiwei: "Captain Wang, where are you taking her?"

Wang Zhiwei looked at Li Hao and said with a serious face: "You are her husband; you accompany her. Rest assured, I will not harm student Yang." Li Hao hesitated for a moment, then still nodded. He also wanted to know what medicine Wang Zhiwei was selling in his gourd.

The group drove to a scenic valley. In the valley was a small lake, the water clear to the bottom. Beside the lake stood a wooden house, the interior decorated warmly and elegantly.

Wang Zhiwei brought Yang Ruoyun and Li Hao to the front of the wooden house and said with a smile: "Please, both of you, come in!"

Yang Ruoyun looked at Wang Zhiwei, feeling somewhat uneasy in her heart. She always felt this man's smile was somewhat eerie.

Li Hao, on the other hand, stared vigilantly at Wang Zhiwei with a wary face, as if ready to strike at any moment.

Entering the wooden house, Wang Zhiwei placed a photo on the table: "This is the boss of our gang."

Yang Ruoyun picked it up and looked; the photo showed a man with a gloomy face, appearing to be in his fifties, with triangular eyes, high cheekbones, and a goatee on his chin. She had seen this person on television before; it was indeed Gu Zhengming, the boss of the Heilong Gang.

Li Hao looked at the photo, his brows tightly furrowed. He seemed not to have expected the boss of the Heilong Gang to be so difficult to deal with.

Seeing the expressions of the two, Wang Zhiwei said with a smile: "Actually, there are contradictions within our gang. Boss Gu has always wanted to control us, but some people are unwilling to submit to his rule. So, we have been looking for an opportunity to resist him."

Yang Ruoyun asked in confusion: "Then what about that important suspect you mentioned just now?"

Wang Zhiwei answered: "That suspect is actually one of our Heilong Gang members. Because he was dissatisfied with Boss Gu's actions, he came to the police station to surrender. He confessed everything, including how Boss Gu instructed him to kill Mr. Yang and Mrs. Yang."

Hearing this, Yang Ruoyun immediately became excited: "Is it really like this?"

Wang Zhiwei nodded: "Absolutely true! What we lack now is a witness who can testify against Boss Gu. As long as you can come forward to testify, we can bring this demon to justice!"

Yang Ruoyun looked at Li Hao, a questioning light flickering in her eyes. Li Hao fell silent for a moment, then nodded: "I believe everything Captain Wang says is true. Let's hand over the evidence first; we'll discuss the rest later."

Yang Ruoyun hesitated for a moment, then finally made up her mind: "Alright, I agree."

Hearing this, Wang Zhiwei immediately revealed a gratified smile: "That is truly great! I will hand over the evidence to you immediately." Saying this, he took a USB drive out of his pocket and handed it to Yang Ruoyun.

Yang Ruoyun took the USB drive, feeling somewhat uneasy in her heart. She did not know what content was actually inside this USB drive, nor did she know whether she could successfully complete this task. But she knew this was the only opportunity to avenge her parents, so she must go all out!

Li Hao also saw the tension and unease in Yang Ruoyun's heart; he gently held her hand, conveying comfort and strength. He knew that being able to accompany her was the greatest support and encouragement for her.

Seeing the tacit understanding between the two, a hint of envy and jealousy flashed in Wang Zhiwei's eyes. He took a deep breath, then said, "Alright, it is getting late; we should go back."
