Chapter 114 Unraveling the Mystery

Zhou Fei is a really interesting person.

In order to get Ye Shaohong to take the deputy director with him as well, Zhou Fei had completely abandoned all shame.

What deep-seated hatred could he possibly have for this deputy director?

Is it really necessary to be in such a hurry?

Could it be...?

Ye Shaohong did want to ask for clarification, but there were too many people around. He had to maintain his own image and also save face for Zhou Fei, so he held back.

He gave Zhou Fei a meaningful look, then turned to look at Zhuang Yifan.

He nodded at him. Although Zhuang Yifan looked down on Zhou Fei, he dared not disobey Ye Shaohong's orders in the slightest. He immediately stepped forward and pulled away the deputy director who was standing next to Zhou Fei with a furtive look on his face.

This man's mouth wasn't stuffed with rags, so as soon as he was dragged to Ye Shaohong's side, he immediately started crying and begging for his life.

He kept insisting that he was innocent.

He also said he wanted Ye Shaohong to give him a chance to prove his innocence, and he would definitely not let Ye Shaohong down.

Ye Shaohong was stunned by these words.

Because he suddenly remembered himself. When he first transmigrated, he was falsely accused and imprisoned. In order to break out of the predicament and survive, he once said that he would prove his innocence.

However, Ye Shaohong is different from this deputy director in one way.

He was truly saving himself. He cleared his name by solving the massacre of the Ma family and uncovering a Japanese spy group in the process.

But this deputy director is different.

Judging from his flirtatious glances, he's definitely not trying to prove his innocence.

She clearly wanted to find a secluded place to deliver the gift to Ye Shaohong alone, and the gift was probably quite substantial.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to say that to Ye Shaohong.

"is it?"

"You want to prove your innocence? Fine, I'll give you that chance."

"Gag him and take him away!"

After giving brief instructions, Ye Shaohong nodded to Zhou Fei again and left with the field crew carrying many bags and packages.

They quickly returned to Villa No. 1, Honggongci.

When Ye Shaohong and his men got out of the car and strode into the courtyard, many people in the courtyard looked at him with surprise and incomprehension.

In fact, this is normal.

The Bureau of Survey and Statistics had just been established and was in its early stages of development. At this time, many high-ranking officials within the bureau headquarters were busy scheming against each other and vying for power.

There really isn't anyone willing to do their job conscientiously.

Not to mention solving cases.

Therefore, Ye Shaohong's actions today can be said to be unique among Scorpion Papa, which naturally surprised and puzzled them.

This is actually the result Ye Shaohong wanted to see.

There are many talented people in the Bureau of Statistics, so it is difficult to stand out. Unconventional behavior may seem reckless, but it is also a clever way to gain favor.

And so, Ye Shaohong led Zhuang Yifan into the underground cell of Villa No. 1 in Honggongci. He ignored the rabbit he had caught while trying to alert the enemy.

Instead, they summoned Li Yunlong and immediately interrogated Liu Fei, the police chief of Nancheng Police Station.

This man was not a professional spy, nor had he received any professional training. So when faced with Li Yunlong's interrogation, he only offered token resistance for a moment before confessing in a cacophony of tears and pleas.

Liu Fei admitted to being an intelligence broker, and when Ye Shaohong pressed him for an explanation, he did not hesitate to recount the Nationalist government intelligence he had sold in recent years.

There are also those who take money to do things, release prisoners privately, and issue special passes to people.

These things were exactly what Ye Shaohong had anticipated.

He wasn't surprised and let Liu Fei ponder and recount his crimes bit by bit.

Ye Shaohong interrupted him when he got to the part three years ago when he was asked to release a suspect from Nancheng Prison on his own and to issue the suspect a special pass that allowed him to leave the city.

They pressed for details.

The most pressing question is the identity of the person who paid him for help.

Liu Fei, who was able to rise to the position of a prefectural director in Jinling City, was certainly not a stupid or foolish person. He immediately realized that this was the issue that Ye Shaohong was most concerned about.

And the reason he has fallen to this state today is probably because of this incident.

Having figured out the reasoning behind it, Liu Fei wished he could slap himself right then and there. If he could choose again, he would swear he would never touch that case again.

They would never reach out to bail someone out for a little money, or even issue a special pass for the prisoner to leave the city.

But now it's too late for him to regret it.

Faced with Ye Shaohong's questioning and Li Yunlong's constant sneers, even if Liu Fei had the greatest courage, he wouldn't dare to negotiate with Ye Shaohong.

They dared not conceal anything in the slightest.

His memory is pretty good.

After a brief moment of reflection, Liu Fei actually remembered the name of the person who had paid him to come to him.

Wang Minghui.

An old rogue who spends his days on the streets and keeps a group of fraudsters under his wing.

Why did Liu Fei know him?

Because Liu Fei also climbed up step by step from the grassroots police officer, he had contact with Wang Minghui when he was the police chief of Nancheng Police Station.

The two have been friends for over a decade.

Over the years, Wang Minghui has asked him for help many times for all sorts of messy things.

Of course, it all cost money. Because the two had met so many times, when Wang Minghui came to his door again with gifts that day, Liu Fei didn't think much of it, accepted the money, and agreed to Wang Minghui's request.

He can be considered trustworthy.

To ensure the matter was handled more effectively and reliably, three days later he personally drove to Nancheng Prison, specifically to find the person Wang Minghui wanted to rescue, and personally handed over the special pass that allowed him to leave the city.

It was because of this incident that he was seen by Jiro Yamaguchi when he came out.

That's why we have this disaster today.

"An old street thug?"

After listening quietly as Liu Fei finished recounting his past, Ye Shaohong frowned again. He suddenly realized that this matter was probably not as simple as he had initially imagined.

At first, Ye Shaohong thought that Wang Minghui, who contacted Liu Fei, was likely a Japanese spy. Now it seems he was wrong.

Wang Minghui is very likely also an intermediary, and he himself may not even know the other party's identity.

This greatly angered Ye Shaohong.

"Damn it, after all this, there's actually an insurance measure."

"I really underestimated them."

"Li Yunlong, aren't you the most familiar with what's happening on the streets? Now take your men and bring Wang Xiaohui back to me!"

"I'll be waiting for you right here. Let's get moving!"
