Chapter 516: Before Dark

As if she had guessed her thoughts, the girl's expression shifted from wariness to tension.

"Come with us."

Yu Dazhang showed her his badge:

"You know why we're detaining you, so I won't say more. Hand over your phone."

Upon hearing this, Sha Hui, though reluctant, still handed the phone to him.

After taking the phone, Yu Dazhang stepped half a pace to the side, making room for his master.

Lu Zhongxin understood immediately, took out handcuffs, and moved forward to cuff one of Sha Hui's hands; just as he was about to cuff the other, Yu Dazhang suddenly reached out and stopped him.

"Wait."

Under Lu Zhongxin's puzzled gaze, Yu Dazhang stared at Sha Hui and said:

"You shouldn't have had enough time to send a warning just now. Now I'm giving you a chance."

He opened his palm and waved it in front of Sha Hui:

"Five minutes. Call whoever you can find. After five minutes, calling anyone won't help."

Lu Zhongxin:!!!!!

He had expected his disciple to handle cases unconventionally, but he hadn't imagined it would be this unrestrained.

Openly letting a suspect send a warning?

Isn't that digging a hole for oneself?

"Dazhang, you..."

He had just opened his mouth to stop him when Yu Dazhang raised his hand and cut him off.

"I know what I'm doing."

Saying this, he handed the phone back to her:

"Remember, only five minutes."

Just a moment after taking Sha Hui's phone, he suddenly realized a key point.

Whether Sha Hui would or would not warn the Black Online Lending network, as long as they brought her back to the station, the other party would definitely get the news.

Since that was the case, why not let her contact them directly?

This way, they could immediately obtain the other party's phone information and also test the Special Task Force's attitude toward this matter.

Currently, Yu Dazhang was still only in the stage of speculation regarding the Special Task Force.

Moreover, sometimes startling the snake by hitting the grass isn't necessarily a bad thing.

By this method, the Black Online Lending network would be deterred and thus curb their behavior.

After all, the reason Yu Dazhang was so eager to solve this case was to prevent any more murders from occurring.

"R-really?"

Looking at the phone being handed over, Sha Hui suddenly didn't dare to take it.

"Time is running out," Yu Dazhang urged:

"Hurry up."

Seeing that he wasn't joking, Sha Hui reached out, took the phone, thought for a moment, and then made a call.

"Talk right here."

Seeing her about to turn around, Yu Dazhang immediately reminded her:

"You can't leave my sight."

Sha Hui nodded and turned her body back.

Soon, the call connected, and she spoke:

"I've been caught. The police are blocking my doorstep right now."

She didn't know what the other party said, but Sha Hui's emotions suddenly became agitated.

She was seen shouting loudly:

"You said it with your own mouth back then that even if something happened, you could keep me safe. I don't care. If I go in, you won't have a good time either."

After finishing, she panted heavily while listening to the person on the other end.

About half a minute passed before Sha Hui spoke again:

"I don't know which police station they're from. One police officer had a gloomy face, as if someone owed him money, and the other police officer was very fat, with a big belly sticking out."

As soon as these words were spoken, both master and disciple frowned.

That was too harsh.

Who describes people like that?

And she said it right to their faces.

When scolding someone, don't expose their weaknesses; when hitting someone, don't hit their face. But she went out of her way to describe people using their weaknesses.

Another half minute passed, and Sha Hui's expression relaxed a bit, her tone also softening:

"Okay, I'll wait for you. Hurry up. Before dark, no matter what happens, I won't say anything, but I'll only wait for you until dark."
