Chapter 106: You get what you ask for

Lin Niansheng really wanted to escape but couldn't.

Faced with reporters' probing questions like artillery fire, he felt his career might be over.

The years of his police service flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern.

He urgently wanted to find his past glorious achievements from among the crowd.

Maybe he could rely on those achievements to save himself.

But he had been a police officer for years, always mediocre and useless.

Not to mention personal achievements, he hadn't even earned any auxiliary merits.

Isn't that basically being doomed!

A flash of despair crossed Lin Niansheng's eyes.

The only thing he could do now was to protect his own face.

If this blows up, it will directly affect his father-in-law's career.

Thinking of this, Lin Niansheng clutched his head with both hands, like a defeated soldier fleeing, hunched over and escaping.

"Ah! How did he run away?!"

"Is this the attitude a Maozi should have when facing questioning?"

"Chase after him, block him!"

The reporters were also dumbfounded.

They have interviewed countless people, but this is the first time someone fled during an interview.

The key is still a Maozi.

According to journalistic professionalism, we must get to the bottom of this!

Thus a sea of reporters blocked Lin Niansheng in the hallway.

Just as Lin Niansheng timidly covered his face.

At the police station entrance.

Wang Zhen appeared with the workers of Mu Cai Chang.

Plus Zhang Chuqiang and them, over twenty people came.

Hong Bo was also among them.

Only saw Wang Zhen with his hands behind his back, coughing heavily.

"Cough!"

"You want to know something? Just ask me!"

"No need to waste time on a soft egg!"

Upon saying that.

The reporters immediately turned and swarmed forward.

Liu Yanxi silently put on her police uniform, glanced at Lin Niansheng who crawled and scrambled into the office, and shook her head coldly.

"If I had known today, why bother at the beginning!"

However, this also means the case has returned to her hands again.

Liu Yanxi had her colleagues take the reporters to one side.

Then, holding the victim's photo, she came before Wang Zhen and the others.

She raised the photo and loudly said: "We received a public report saying suspect Li Mou is involved in gang-related evil, gathering crowds to violently harm others; this is the evidence sent by the victim after injury examination, you can take a look!"

By this point, Liu Yanxi already had a clear idea in mind.

The people before her are here to save Li Jiaci.

Maybe the reporters were also found by them.

She could simply release them, but that wouldn't clear Li Jiaci's suspicions.

It might also leave future troubles.

It would give those who like to cause trouble behind the scenes more opportunity.

He has been framed three times in a row.

Liu Yanxi also couldn't help but develop curiosity and a hint of sympathy for Li Jiaci.

Wang Zhen looked at the photo without speaking.

On the contrary, Zhang Chuqiang beside him angrily snatched the photo.

"This scoundrel is certainly not a victim!"

"She repeatedly framed my brother, plotting to harm our brothers!"

"She is the one who should be punished!"

Flashlights kept flashing at the scene.

Countless cameras recorded this moment.

Liu Yanxi asked: "Do you have evidence?"

"Of course, we who have been harmed by her are the evidence!"

As Zhang Chuqiang's words fell.

Wang Lan then stepped forward and asked Police Officer Liu: "Officer, do you still remember me?"

"I remember, you and Li Mou were suspected of hiding and selling powder, we arrested you and interrogated you day and night!"

"That incident was also this woman's doing; she hid the powder in a fruit bag, had me bring it home, creating the illusion that we hid powder, and even posed as an informant to report us for selling powder, causing me to be beaten all night by your colleagues, tortured!"

"Defaming the police is a serious crime; think it over before speaking!"

"Whether there is defamation or not, once I find the person, the truth will naturally come to light!"

They went back and forth.

It looked like they were at odds, but in fact they were working together.

Wang Lan glanced at the faces of the Maozi nearby; the humiliation and pain he had suffered that night surged back into his mind.

He reached out and pointed at one of the Maozi, saying, "It's you!"

At that point, Zhang Chuqiang and the others immediately looked over.

His gaze was as sharp as a knife.

That Maozi stiffly twitched the corner of his mouth.

"What nonsense are you spouting?"

"Everything needs evidence!"

Wang Lan let out a cold laugh.

He opened his down jacket, exposing his wounds all over to the reporters.

The scene erupted in an uproar.

The Maozi swallowed nervously, his face tense.

Liu Yanxi snapped, "Xiao Xu, what's going on here?"

At first he wanted to deny it, but everyone in the bureau knew exactly what had happened that night.

Especially Liu Yanxi.

The Maozi met Liu Yanxi's utterly stern gaze, as if she could see right through him, and a sudden fear gripped his heart.

Now there is still a chance to come forward and receive leniency.

Otherwise, even if he stays silent, someone in the bureau will report him.

By then he would never get to wear this uniform again.

After all, Lin Niansheng is already at the end of his rope.

Those in the bureau no longer need to watch Lin Niansheng's cues to act.

This is the fate of aligning with the wrong person.

Having thought it through, the Maozi lowered his head in shame.

"It was me who did it…"

"But all of this was done at Lin Niansheng's behest!"

Liu Yanxi narrowed her eyes.

That's exactly what she wanted to hear.

"Separate Xiao Xu and Lin Niansheng and lock them up!"

"Await interrogation!"

The Maozi swiftly sprang into action.

Lin Niansheng was dragged out of the office and straight into the interrogation room.

At that moment.

Wang Lan noticed the photo in Zhang Chuqiang's hand and couldn't help but frown.

"There's something wrong with this photo!"

"What's the problem?"

Zhang Chuqiang raised it, looked, and then belatedly said, "The injuries on that scoundrel's face were self-inflicted!"

He had just been caught up in anger and hadn't had a chance to examine it closely.

Li Qinglan's face was covered in bloody gashes from a sharp weapon.

Yet when she left the lumber mill, she had clearly only been slapped a few times.

The reporters were thrilled.

The explosiveness of this case could directly cause a nationwide sensation!

Nobody noticed.

Wang Zhen suddenly gave Hong Bo a glance.

Just as the reporters were frenziedly snapping photos of Li Qinglan, Hong Bo appeared so innocently in the frame.

He picked up the photo and examined it carefully for a moment.

"Huh, why does this woman seem so familiar to me?"

"I remember now—I saw her this afternoon!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yanxi immediately said, "Go on, tell us more!"

Hong Bo nodded.

"At the time my car broke down, I was parked by the road waiting for help, when suddenly I saw this woman running from the direction of the lumber mill, cursing and shouting insults at people's ancestors!"

Liu Yanxi asked, "Did she have any injuries on her face?"

"No, her face was clean and unblemished!"

Hong Bo continued after a few seconds' pause: "Then I saw her get into a white Chery, and after about ten minutes, when I waited for her to get out of the car, her face mysteriously bore these injuries!"
