Chapter 123 Unexpected Escape
that it was an unfamiliar number."Could this be Sīn Má姐 calling me" Xiàtiān thought to himself and picked up the call: "Hello, who is this""Is this Xia Tian" A deep voice came from the other end."Yes...Chapter 122: Teaching Qiu Ming a Lesson
When Qiu Ming said this, not only did Leng Bingbing's expression change, but even Ge Lei's demeanor became somewhat unnatural. In his opinion, this was going too far.
Although Xia Tian was indeed a suspect in the murder case, he had not resisted arrest and willingly came to the police station. Moreover, he also had a good relationship with Leng Bingbing. Why make things so difficult
Even if handcuffs were necessary, putting on leg irons seemed unnecessarily harsh. Ge Lei felt that even though Qiu Ming and Leng Bingbing did not get along well, it was inappropriate to go this far in the matter. After all, Xia Tian was brought here by Leng Bingbing, who had greatly helped their team. It was only fair to give her some face.
"Sis Cop, what's going on" Xia Tian began to feel unhappy; after all this fussing around, these guys were treating him like a criminal!
"Xia Tian, you are suspected of involvement in two murder cases. We need to detain you for further investigation!" Qiu Ming sneered and waved his hand. "What are you waiting for Quickly put the handcuffs on him! Get the leg irons too."
When Qiu Ming said this again, Ge Lei was helpless as well and could only take out the handcuffs and walk up to Xia Tian.
"Are you crazy Who did I kill" Xia Tian had no intention of holding out his hands for someone to put on handcuffs.
"If you didn't commit murder, just cooperate with them. Once everything is clear, there will be nothing to worry about," Leng Bingbing was concerned that Xia Tian might fight back and thus spoke up.
Xia Tian glanced at Leng Bingbing before finally cooperating by putting on the handcuffs; it didn't matter anyway since these things were useless for him.
"Team Leader Ge, you can take him in now," said Leng Bingbing indifferently. "As for leg irons and other such equipment, there's no need."
"Alright, Captain Leng." Ge Lei hurriedly responded and then nodded at Xia Tian. "Come with me to the interrogation room."
"Hold it!" Qiu Ming shouted sternly. "Leng Bingbing, this is the First Platoon, not your Sixth Platoon! My men don't need you to give them orders!"
Ge Lei felt annoyed; was there no end to Qiu Ming's antics The other party had already cooperated so much—was he trying to provoke a scene
In fact, Ge Lei now knew who Xia Tian was. Wasn't he the guy who beat up Gao Mingyang He had also heard about Xia Tian causing a ruckus at the Cyber Police Unit earlier this month. If such a troublesome character agreed to cooperate, they should speak properly and not force him to create a scene in the Criminal Investigation Team.
"Qiu Ming, don't push things too far!" Leng Bingbing's beautiful face was cold; she knew Qiu Ming was deliberately provoking her.
"Leng Bingbing, if you have objections, why not take them up with your superiors" Qiu Ming said sarcastically, his words hinting at something else.
He didn't mean for Leng Bingbing to report to the higher-ups; he specifically mentioned her "superiors," and some experienced male police officers caught on to what he implied. They looked at Leng Bingbing with a different gaze.
Luckily, Leng Bingbing had no experience in such matters and didn't catch his deeper meaning. Nevertheless, she was still furious; she even regretted calling Xia Tian—she should have let the First Platoon face their difficulties on their own.
"Sis Cop, this guy is really annoying. Should I break his jaw" Xia Tian asked Leng Bingbing for her opinion.
Leng Bingbing glared at Xia Tian and said with irritation, "Are you trying to be charged with assaulting a police officer"
"No problem, I can make sure there's no evidence against me." Xia Tian shrugged nonchalantly.
"Suit yourself!" Ling Bingbing casually said. If it were any other day, she wouldn't have spoken like this, but now, she was indeed very annoyed. If not for the fact that she felt it would dirty her hands, she might even slap Qiu Ming herself.
Upon hearing their conversation, Qiu Ming was furious, while others looked at each other in bewilderment.
Just as Qiu Ming wanted to speak, he suddenly experienced a sharp pain in his lips, followed by a salty and fishy taste. When he touched it with his hand, it was all blood, and the pain on his upper lip had not subsided yet. He immediately realized that his lips were bleeding.
One hand covering his lips, Qiu Ming pointed at Xia Tian with the other finger, but unfortunately, his mouth being covered by his own hand prevented him from speaking.
Ling Bingbing was stunned; she could clearly see blood seeping through the cracks of Qiu Ming's fingers, indicating that he had sustained a significant injury in that area. However, she hadn't seen Xia Tian make any move.
"Arrest him for me!" Qiu Ming suddenly let go and roared with an ugly look on his face, then immediately covered his mouth again as the bleeding had not stopped.
Xia Tian chuckled at Qiu Ming: "Are you stupid I've already been arrested!"
"Qiu Ming, I advise you to see a doctor," Ling Bingbing felt an unusual sense of satisfaction upon seeing all the blood in Qiu Ming's mouth.
"Xia Tian, did you hurt Commander Qiu" Ge Lei asked with a frown.
Xia Tian shook his head: "Of course not! I didn't even move here; I was handcuffed by you guys!"
Ge Lei asked again: "How could it be such a coincidence that Commander Qiu got injured right after you said you were going to hit someone
Summer chuckled, "I do think it's quite a coincidence. Maybe I really did it. Too bad you guys don't have any evidence."
Looking at Qiu Ming, Summer had an earnest expression, "Hey, don't say I didn't warn you. That wound needs stitches; you should go to the hospital."
"I'll **ing kill you first!" Qiu Ming loosened his grip on Summer's shirt and roared as he reached for the gun holster at his waist. Ge Lei instantly changed color, rushing forward to grab his hand while saying in a low voice, "Captain Qiu, don't be impulsive! Go to the hospital first!"
Worried that Qiu Ming wouldn’t understand, Ge Lei added: "Captain Qiu, he's now a murder suspect. Once we confirm the case details, there’s no way he’ll escape. You don't need to risk yourself!"
"Alright, you two take Captain Qiu to the hospital," Ge Lei instructed two officers who quickly escorted Qiu Ming away. Perhaps his words convinced Qiu Ming because this time, Qiu left the police station cooperatively. But before leaving, he cast a venomous glance at both Leng Bingbing and Summer.
Ge Lei breathed a sigh of relief; if Qiu Ming had pulled out his gun, it would have caused a major incident that might end up badly for both him and Qiu Ming.
"Captain Leng, I’m going to take Summer to the interrogation room. Do you want to observe" Ge Lei asked.
“No need,” said Captain Leng Bingbing coldly. "But I hope you will conduct the interrogation according to standard procedures and not resort to torture."
Saying this, she turned around and left. Ge Lei was left with a bitter smile; who would dare to torture Summer after seeing how Qiu Ming fared
Even though Summer hadn't admitted it, everyone present knew that what had just happened must have been her work. They could not figure out how she managed such an incredible feat.
"Sis Policewoman, do you want to eat lunch with me" Summer called out.
The detectives from the Major Crimes Unit were almost floored by this statement, realizing that this guy actually planned to have lunch with the cold beauty in the afternoon.
Cold Ice ignored Xia Tian; this guy had no sense of crisis at all. Even after being treated as a murder suspect, he still wanted to go out for lunch with her
A few minutes later, Xia Tian finally arrived at the interrogation room. Ge Lei was in charge of the questioning while Mao Biao took notes beside him.
After some preliminary questions, Ge Lei quickly got down to business: "Xia Tian, were you at Charm Bar around 9:30 PM last night"
"I should have been there," Xia Tian said offhandedly. "I was there for a while but I don't remember the exact time."
"Do you remember your altercation with Jin Gang at the bar last night" Ge Lei asked, frowning.
"Oh, Jin Gang, that guy threatened to beat me up and take my wife. So, I hit him twice with a bottle," Xia Tian admitted without hesitation.
"Jin Gang died last night; do you know about it" Ge Lei looked at Xia Tian intently.
"He’s dead " Xia Tian was genuinely surprised for a moment but then said nonchalantly, "Well, that's good. At least he won't come after my wife anymore."
“So, you admit to killing Jin Gang” Ge Lei asked.
Xia Tian looked puzzled: “When did I admit anything I just hit him a couple of times; that doesn’t kill anyone. If he’s really dead, it must have been someone else who killed him, and it has nothing to do with me.”
"In summer, you've already admitted to smashing King Kong's head with a bottle of alcohol. The autopsy report proves that his death is directly related to the blow he received to the head, which means he died from your bottle!" Ge Lei's tone turned serious, "What do you have to say now"
"Your forensic expert must be an idiot; I always hit people within limits. If I say someone won’t die, they won't," Summer said with a撇嘴 (rolling her eyes). "You should get another person to examine the injuries again because I guarantee there are other fatal wounds on his body."
Ge Lei frowned slightly and then pulled out a photo, handing it to Summer: "Do you know this woman"
"Yeah, she's my wife," Summer replied offhandedly; the person in the picture was indeed Isabella.
"So do you know where she is" Ge Lei asked.
Summer shook her head: "No idea."
At this point, Summer suddenly exclaimed with a哎呀 (oh no): "Trouble. I forgot to get her number last night."
"She's your wife; how can you not know where she is" Mao Biao couldn't help but interject from the side.
"Do you track your wife with a tracker and monitor her every move" Summer retorted.
Mao Biao was immediately speechless.
"Summer, around midnight last night, Nan Cheng Security Brigade's Fang Kun died in mysterious circumstances. Witnesses have confirmed that he was with this woman before his death. I want to know where you were at the time" Ge Lei asked solemnly.characters printed on their chests: Thunder Martial Arts Gym!"Brother Tian is back."Fatty and Ding Bao quickly approached and greeted Xia Tian.“Boss!
