Chapter 408: Chapter 407: Humiliation
Upon hearing that Wang Yan was going with Su Yamo, Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting couldn’t help but change their expressions.
Beiming Xue hurriedly asked, “Brother Wang Yan, did this police officer threaten you? Don’t be afraid, I’ll protect you.”
Ouyang Feiting also glared at Su Yamo and said, “If you dare threaten Brother Wang Yan, the two of us won’t let you off.”
Su Yamo became complacent and said, “Wang Yan wanted to come with me on his own, hehe, Wang Yan, let’s go, ignore them.”
Seeing that Wang Yan was really about to leave, Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting truly became anxious. They tightly held onto Wang Yan, tears welling up in their eyes, about to fall.
Wang Yan was greatly puzzled as to why Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting were tearing up just because he wanted to go solve a murder case with Su Yamo.
Out of options, Wang Yan leaned over to Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting and whispered, “I sense the presence of demon patterns in the west, I fear this murder case might be related to demon cultivators.”
Upon hearing Wang Yan’s words, Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting understood immediately, and the tears in their eyes disappeared instantly.
Beiming Xue laughed and said, “So that’s how it is, I thought Brother Wang Yan didn’t want us anymore.”
Ouyang Feiting said, “Since Brother Wang Yan is going, we’ll go with him, so no bad guys take advantage of him.”
Saying this, Ouyang Feiting shot a glare at Su Yamo; the ‘bad guy’ she mentioned was clearly referring to Su Yamo.
Su Yamo snorted angrily, though she didn’t want Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting to come along, she lacked a valid reason. Moreover, she feared Wang Yan would suspect her of being petty.
Thus, the three of them clustered around Wang Yan and headed toward East Street.
Before long, they arrived at East Street and saw countless onlookers gathered beneath an ordinary apartment building.
The four of them squeezed through the crowd and entered the apartment building.
As soon as they entered, Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting cried out in shock and quickly dared not look ahead.
In one of the rooms facing the apartment building, a middle-aged man was hanging from the ceiling, swaying slightly. His face was pale, eyes vacant, mouth open, with his tongue hanging out.
Originally, Su Yamo had been looking for a reason to stop Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting from following Wang Yan, but seeing how frightened they were, she was immediately pleased.
She pulled Wang Yan and said, “Wang Yan, let’s hurry to the crime scene and take a look.”
Wang Yan noticed Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting’s fear, turned around and said, “You two wait for me here.”
Despite their fear, seeing Wang Yan enter that room, Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting gritted their teeth and followed him in.
Inside the room, numerous police officers were examining the scene. Upon seeing Su Yamo enter, they immediately saluted her.
A young male officer in the middle of the room saw Su Yamo and smiled slightly, saying, “So Director Su is here too.”
This young officer had a sunny, handsome appearance, with short hair that made him look energetic. His eyes were bright, giving him an air of intelligence and prowess.
Upon seeing the young officer, Su Yamo said, “So Captain Zhang Lin is here. If I had known, I wouldn’t have needed to come.”
The man named Zhang Lin hurriedly said modestly, “Director Su, you’re too kind.”
Despite his modest words, his face showed he was very pleased.
While they were speaking, Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting came inside but didn’t dare look at the corpse hanging from the ceiling, always hiding behind Wang Yan.
Seeing Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting, Zhang Lin’s eyes lit up with a wild gleam, staring intently at them.
Su Yamo didn’t notice Zhang Lin’s expression and pointed at Wang Yan, saying, “This is Wang Yan, our auxiliary officer. Wang Yan, this is our police star, Captain Zhang Lin of the Criminal Investigation Team.”
Zhang Lin repeatedly said, “Oh, I’ve heard so much about you.”
However, while speaking, he didn’t glance at Wang Yan, only stared at Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting.
Upon seeing Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting afraid of the corpse hanging from the ceiling, Zhang Lin quickly shouted at the officers behind him, “Bunch of idiots, get the body down already, no sense at all.”
The officers were puzzled as to why Zhang Lin suddenly lost his temper.
Nonetheless, they obediently took the body down and laid it on the ground, covering it with a white sheet.
Then Zhang Lin approached Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting, put on what he thought was a charming smile, and said, “Are you two friends of Su Yamo?”
However, Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting ignored Zhang Lin’s attempt to engage them.
Zhang Lin wasn’t annoyed, he continued standing behind Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting, smiling and saying, “I’m Zhang Lin, the captain of the Wanghai Criminal Investigation Team. If you ever need help, don’t hesitate to find me.”
“Of course, it’s best if nothing happens, but if anyone dares to bully you, I can protect you.”
“In the police station — no, in the entire Wanghai City — mentioning my name, Zhang Lin, few don’t know it.”
“Would it be convenient for you two to leave a phone number? Call me when needed.”
Zhang Lin followed them, endlessly boasting about himself, but Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting treated him like thin air, completely ignoring him.
Zhang Lin wasn’t upset. He stared at Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting, thinking: Wow, today really is my lucky day, encountering such beauties. I never thought Wanghai City had women with such perfect faces and figures. I’m really lucky today. Even catching one of them would be quite a score. But they’re both so pretty, it’s hard to choose. Whom should I pick?
But as Zhang Lin was daydreaming, his face suddenly darkened, because he saw that while Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting ignored him, they kept following Wang Yan closely.
No matter where Wang Yan went, they would follow.
Anger surged in Zhang Lin’s heart. He carefully observed Wang Yan, who appeared weak and effeminate, unable to help feeling disdain.
Zhang Lin snorted coldly, wanting to find an opportunity to embarrass Wang Yan.
At this moment, Wang Yan, taking advantage of Zhang Lin’s distraction, had already surveyed the entire room. Standing beside the corpse, he said indifferently, “In this murder case, the perpetrator probably escaped about an hour ago.”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Lin’s eyes lit up. He finally found a way to ridicule Wang Yan, laughed loudly, and said, “Really? Even those who know nothing dare to pretend to be clever. If I were you, I’d dig a hole and bury myself.”
