Chapter 74: Done Too Perfectly
"Among the dead, there's one named Cao Ming; when Detachment Captain Liu investigates him, he'll inevitably trace back to me, because not long ago I had two encounters with him."
The first time was on the 36th floor; at that moment he was holding a bouquet of roses, professing his love to a female employee in my company named Wen Keke.
Cao Ming had already harassed her many times. The reason Cao Ming knows her actually starts with a matchmaking session…
You know I'm a person with a strong sense of justice, and I've studied psychology, micro‑expression analysis, and even the ancient art of physiognomy.
At the time, I instantly saw that this person had psychological issues, so I exposed him publicly.
The next encounter was on the morning of the 6th; I offered him one million to meet at a teahouse, but he demanded ten million—far too greedy.
At this point, Lin Feng shook his head helplessly.
Qi Yao said softly, "Wen Keke must be very beautiful; do you like her?"
Lin Feng nodded, "Young, pretty girls—who wouldn't like them? Even you, I like."
A blush spread across Qi Yao's beautiful face.
She showed no sign of jealousy, then asked, "Some other things happened during this process, right?"
Lin Feng nodded, "After Cao Ming called to threaten Wen Keke, he stalked her daily; to protect her, I've been escorting her to and from work every day."
"What about Wu Guan?"
Qi Yao asked again.
Lin Feng smiled, "Detachment Captain Liu certainly has more detailed information on Wu Guan than I do."
He was spoiled from childhood, lawless, and committed many offenses. In the end, either he bought his way out or found someone to take the blame.
If he stayed away from me, I wouldn't want to provoke him.
The incident occurred last month; your Captain Liu will certainly investigate it and it will also point back to me.
Moreover, the deceased include Cao Ming and Wu Guan; even a rookie just joined the police force would connect it to me.
At this point, Lin Feng smiled.
Then he continued, "Someone like that seeks revenge at the slightest insult; I don't want to wait for him to cause trouble after he gets out, so I have to proactively scheme against him."
Qi Yao, looking curious, asked, "I want to know how you managed to bring together two people who had no connection and belonged to different worlds?"
Lin Feng smiled, "Actually it's simple. Yesterday evening, after I drove out, I found a chance to stop the car, and Cao Ming's car followed me."
Then, in front of him, I kissed Wen Keke, infuriating him.
At the same time, I had someone locate Wu Guan's whereabouts, so I pretended not to notice Cao Ming nearby and took a phone call.
In the call, I reported Wu Guan's location, down to the specific private room.
After speaking, Lin Feng took out his phone, held it to his ear, and shouted, "Hello! Xiao Yang! Did you find the place? Xian Wang Dance Hall? Where is it… No. 14 xx Road, second floor, Qi Wang Hall private room, nicely arranged! Around 8:30, Keke and I will come together…"
After the demonstration, Lin Feng put the phone down.
Seeing Qi Yao's even more curious gaze, Lin Feng explained, "In Cao Ming's eyes, taking Wen Keke to a nightclub private room is certainly up to no good."
Then I drove away, leaving him behind; after losing me, he could only go to the place I told him.
What followed was almost predictable. Given Wu Guan's temperament, if someone suddenly barged in, he'd flare up and brutally torment Cao Ming.
But I truly didn't expect that Cao Ming had explosives strapped to his body, and when he was beaten or insulted, he couldn't help but trigger the bomb.
Finishing, Lin Feng sighed, "Actually I didn't anticipate Cao Ming carrying explosives; truly, human plans are no match for fate."
"No!"
Qi Yao shook her head, "You thought of it, and even accounted for it. That's your kill‑two‑birds plan; Cao Ming and Wu Guan, the two *** nuisances to you, are solved in one go."
Lin Feng merely smiled, offering no reply.
Cao Ming, of course, knew he had explosives.
And he also knew the explosives Cao Ming carried were modified fireworks and firecracker gunpowder.
Cao Ming's mind had become twisted, harboring a mindset that if he couldn't have something, he'd destroy everything together.
Eliminating Lin Feng as well would be even better.
Honestly, while making the call by the roadside, Lin Feng kept the clutch half‑released and his right foot on the accelerator, ready in case Cao Ming detonated the bomb at any moment.
"Do you think I'm a bad person?"
Lin Feng looked at Qi Yao and suddenly asked.
Qi Yao was startled, then shook her head, "My duty is only to collect physical evidence. What you just said sounds like a story to me."
Lin Feng nodded, "Then can I still come over to eat steak later?"
Qi Yao whispered, "There are plenty in the fridge!"
Lin Feng sighed, "When I helped you solve the case last time, that girl named Bian Rong, I felt a sense of guilt. I feel like I've become an accomplice to a beast…"
Qi Yao lifted her hand, covering Lin Feng's, "You did nothing wrong!"
"Hmm!"
Lin Feng nodded.
By then, it was already eleven p. m.
"I might have nightmares again…"
Lin Feng scanned the room and gave a wry smile.
A blush rose again on Qi Yao's face, "You sleep on the sofa."
After saying that, she returned to her own bedroom.
As before, the lights stayed on and the door remained open.
Lin Feng lay on the sofa and fell asleep quickly.
When he woke, daybreak had already arrived.
Qi Yao had already gone to work.
The House Guarding Divine Beast is gone again!
Lin Feng grabbed his coat and slipped away.
But as soon as he opened the door, he saw the half‑familiar colleague from before.
Li Fei of the squad, and a young police officer Lin Feng didn't recognize.
"Consultant, there's a case that requires you to go to the bureau for a cooperative investigation."
Looking at Lin Feng, Li Fei, with a serious expression, said.
"Alright!"
Lin Feng nodded.
This time Lin Feng didn't have the same luck as before.
He was taken straight to the interrogation room.
The person sitting opposite wasn't someone he knew.
After stating his name, age, and occupation, the opposite side began questioning.
Lin Feng selectively recounted what he had previously told Qi Yao.
"So, you deliberately lured Cao Ming to the Immortal King Song and Dance Hall?"
The interrogator opposite asked.
Lin Feng shook his head and firmly said, "No!"
"They all have grudges against you, and you, with your sharp mind, are fully capable of orchestrating all this…"
After the other finished speaking, Lin Feng merely smiled.
At that moment, Lawyer Zhou from Zhengxing Law Firm arrived.
After some negotiation, Lin Feng was released.
In the conference room.
After a brief analysis, Li Fei frowned and said, "Cao Ming's mindset is indeed problematic; at present, it appears the situation is as follows.
Cao Ming, unable to win over a girl named Wen Keke, harbored resentment, crafted explosives, and prepared to seize a chance to retaliate against Lin Feng and Wen Keke.
By coincidence, he went to the Immortal King Song and Dance Hall, clashed with Wu Guan, and in the process detonated the bomb on his body…"
After Li Fei finished, a team member said, "The key issue is who lured Cao Ming there."
Another added, "Even if we know, we have no evidence."
"From a criminal standpoint, this case was executed too perfectly; even if we know who the suspect is, we can't apprehend them."
"You're saying the suspect is Lin Feng?"
"Consultant, his suspicion is the greatest, but it doesn't rule out someone else pulling the strings. You should know Wu Guan has committed many deeds in recent years and has many enemies."
After the team finished speaking, Liu Zhi frowned and said, "Close the case!"
