Wu Haoran knew everything in his heart, but he had no evidence. Moreover, they had been pursuing for eight months, and in these eight months, no clues had been found.
It wasn't that they were not capable, but they had truly investigated for eight months, even establishing a special investigation team internally. In the past, anyone who was identified as the culprit would die the next day, or have an accidental death, which caused the case to stagnate.
But they never thought that this case would involve other places, and it was even Nan Province.
This discovery made them raise their guard. He personally contacted Director Zhang of Nan Province and obtained many clues. Especially when the latter reminded him at the end of the phone call that a legendary figure had arrived in their Qing City and would soon make a move against the Tian family, he was still somewhat disbelieving.
However, a sudden phone call made him lead the team to arrest people, and it was the mastermind, Tian Yi.
The most crucial point was that it was a call from the capital's Dragon Investigation Bureau, and he had no choice but to obey. On the way, he heard that close to nine o'clock, a newspaper had completely shaken Qing City. Upon taking a look, it was indeed the case they were investigating.
Moreover, it listed one piece of evidence after another, which indicated that the other party had evidence in hand.
However, after sending people to obtain these pieces of evidence, they found that they had nothing to do with the Tian family at all, not even remotely connected.
The entire management system was managed layer by layer. No one knew who their superior was, but the superior knew who their subordinates were, which made it very difficult to investigate.
What's more, their men went out to arrest people and found that no one was there. Although they could find operating rooms, they couldn't find anyone, so the clue was broken again.
Although the chain of evidence currently possessed was sufficient, they had not apprehended the relevant personnel, and the mastermind was still unknown, which made it very troublesome. If the mastermind could not be found, more people would surely be harmed.
Therefore, this was why they were able to come so quickly.
Since it was already known that Tian Yi was behind the entire affair, the next step was to find evidence.
Regardless of anything else, arrest them first!
"Patriarch Tian, President Qin, you are now surrounded. Please come with us for investigation."
There was no way around it; the other party had a considerable background. They were the two mountains of Qing City, and even he had to be cautious.
Tian Yi put his hands in his pockets and gave Wu Haoran a cold look. "Director Wu, do you know how much trouble it will cause if you arrest us? Don't be used as a pawn without even knowing it! Besides, do you think we are short of money now? Do we need to earn this kind of money that damages our reputation?"
Wu Haoran couldn't figure it out either, but the capital had personally called to instruct him to cooperate with Ye Longlin's actions, so he had no choice.
Even if he offended them, it would only be within the jurisdiction of Qing City. But if he offended the capital, he would truly be unable to continue his career.
Wu Haoran spoke with righteous indignation, "Please cooperate with my work, Patriarch Tian. Thank you."
He then looked at Ye Longlin and couldn't help but sigh. It should be him who contacted the capital.
Moreover, just standing there, he could feel a faint pressure emanating from him, a sharp aura that forced him to treat him with caution.
Judging from this presence, he was definitely not an ordinary person.
"No need to be too polite to criminals," Ye Longlin reminded.
Wu Haoran chuckled wryly. Since he knew he was going to arrest people, he had already received no less than ten phone calls from big shots, implicitly or explicitly asking him to release them.
"Mr. Ye, there's nothing we can do. If we don't have concrete evidence of their crimes and if it's not discovered within twenty-four hours, we can only release them."
This was also the most frustrating part. Sometimes, you clearly knew who the culprit was, but there was no evidence to prove it.
The Dragon Investigation Bureau was a place that emphasized evidence!
Ye Longlin pondered for a moment: "If there is no evidence, then let him stay here forever."
As soon as these words were spoken, Wu Haoran was startled, further confirming that the other party was a big shot from the capital, otherwise he wouldn't have said such a thing!
Helplessly, he could only continue to smile bitterly, "Mr. Ye, please believe us. Give us twenty-four hours. Once there is any breakthrough evidence, I will personally contact you. If they are released without charge, I will definitely tell you, and then you can handle it according to your method."
He was also certain that the person in front of him was the legendary figure Director Zhang of Nan Province had mentioned.
And he had also investigated what happened in Nan Province, which was even more shocking.
Just then, the phone in Wu Haoran's pocket rang again. After answering, he hung up after saying a few words.
It was a call from the Secretary-General, who also ordered him to release them.
"You see."
Wu Haoran was very helpless and sighed deeply. He knew in his heart that it was troublesome and involved many people.
"Record all the callers and see what their interests are with the Tian family and the Martial Arts Association. If you find any problems, contact the Commercial Investigation Department. If the Commercial Department dares not investigate, you contact me."
Ye Longlin opened his business card holder, took out a business card, and handed it to him.
The business card was like that of an ordinary person, with only a name and phone number, very ordinary.
"Yes."
Wu Haoran accepted it respectfully with both hands. It was at this moment that Yuan Gang and Xuan Niao walked up and immediately saluted: "Report, Tian Zui and the Qin family's martial artists have been apprehended. The subordinates have contacted the Town Martial Department to take them back for questioning."
After speaking, Yuan Gang looked at Wu Haoran, "Director Wu, if the Town Martial Department obtains any information, they will contact the Dragon Investigation Bureau. I have already made arrangements."
Wu Haoran saw the bloodstains on their bodies, and the corner of his mouth twitched. He quickly nodded, "Understood."
This iron-blooded aura indicated that they were soldiers, and the fact that their subordinates could directly contact the Town Martial Department meant that their military rank must not be low!
Afterward, Dragon Investigation Bureau vehicles drove in, and Dragon Pavilion personnel secretly retreated, leaving only the devastated Tian family and Martial Arts Association members.
Tian Yi stared intently at Ye Longlin, a ferocious smile appearing in his eyes. "Ye Longlin, I will wait for you at the Tian family tomorrow. If you dare to come, I guarantee you will die at the Tian family!"
"You want to arrest me without any evidence? What does it matter if you have power and influence? This is my Tian family's territory, and my Tian family calls the shots!"
"Don't worry, I won't run. I'll wait for you at the Tian family, and I will personally watch you die!"
Qin Zaitian said nothing, only giving Ye Longlin a deep look.
In terms of martial arts, the Tian family was still superior. If the Tian family couldn't suppress Ye Longlin, then the Qin family definitely wouldn't have the ability.
It's just... when will the Shi family from Rong City be able to reach Qing City?
