"You don't know It's not a problem if you don't know, but I need to tell you that Gao Mingyang went into a coma after being beaten by you. If anything happens to him, you'll be charged with intentional homicide!" Huang Haitao shouted angrily, "Confess and you will receive leniency! You better confess everything!"

"Director Huang, how did you become the director Even if I really killed Gao Mingyang, it would only be considered causing death by intentional injury. Are you ignorant of the law" Summer said in a strange manner, "Oh right, speaking of which, have you taken your mentally ill son to a psychiatric hospital yet You should be careful; he might use a gun on you next time."

"Shut up!" Huang Haitao was extremely irritated and slammed his hand on the table again, "Summer, since you know about the law, you should understand the consequences of this matter!"

"Of course I understand the law. If you want to talk about legal matters with me, then I will also talk about it with you. Whether you get a forensic doctor or another doctor to examine the case, they can prove that my dozen slaps couldn't possibly have caused Gao Mingyang's coma. The most I might face is ten days in detention, which isn't much." Summer looked at Bingbing coldly and said, "Ah, Police Flower Sister, you seem very tired. Let me give you a massage to help relieve your fatigue."

"If you confess quickly, I can go back to sleep right away!" Bingbing glared at Summer.

"Didn't I already admit to hitting someone" Summer felt wronged; he was such a cooperative suspect, it was rare to find one like him.

"What did you mean when you said Gao Mingyang wouldn't live past three days after leaving Night Beauty last night" Bingbing asked.

"There's no special meaning. I just gave him a fortune-telling." Summer lazily replied while leaning on the table.

"Be serious!" Huang Haitao yelled at him, "Sit up straight and move away from the table!"

There was a reason Huang Haitao was so angry; before returning to the Public Security Bureau, he had been harshly reprimanded by Deputy Mayor Gao. Naturally, he then vented his frustration on Xia Tian.

Unfortunately, he picked the wrong person. Xia Tian behaved himself here mainly because of Leng Bingbing's presence, not Huang Haitao’s. Xia Tian would respect Leng Bingbing but wouldn’t give Huang Haitao any face.

"I won't sit up straight, so what can you do" Xia Tian rolled his eyes and said, "Don't think that because you're the head of the Public Security Bureau, you’re all that. Gao Mingyang also felt he was great; look where that got him now."

"Y-you're threatening me" Huang Haitao trembled with anger. He, as the chief of police, was actually being threatened!

"You aren’t worth my threats." Xia Tian pursed his lips and said, "If it weren't for Police Flower Sister’s face, I would have already beaten you up."

"Y-you!" Huang Haitao's face turned red with anger. "Very well, very well! Xia Tian, I'm telling you now—this time even Qiao Xiaoqiao can’t save you!"

Turning to look at Leng Bingbing, he said, “Interrogate him, continue interrogating him until he confesses everything!”

After saying this, Huang Haitao angrily got up and left.

"Great, Police Flower Sister. We can enjoy our two-person world now." Xia Tian looked very happy.

The police officers watching the live broadcast of the interrogation outside were speechless. This guy was truly a talent; he could even relate this situation to their "two-person world."

"Ghost, you and your little world, enjoy being alone in here!" Leng Bingbing walked out of the interrogation room angrily, leaving Xia Tian inside.

However, as soon as she turned around, she entered another interrogation room where Sun Xinxin was seated.

Leng Bingbing had already realized that Xia Tian would be difficult to deal with, so she decided to switch her focus to Sun Xinxin. She knew that Sun Xinxin was just a small flower shop owner and thought it should be easier to interrogate her. Although Sun Xinxin hadn’t hit anyone last night according to some people’s testimonies from the nightclub, she had still destroyed property in the nightclub, which could amount to intentional damage of property.

Clearly, Leng Bingbing made the right move; under her skillful interrogation methods, Sun Xinxin quickly revealed a lot of information. However, what Leng Bingbing discovered seemed to complicate things even more.

Sun Xinxin said that she was kidnapped last night and almost raped, then Xia Tian arrived just in time to save her and learned from the kidnappers that the mastermind behind it all was Gao Mingyang. Xia Tian went to demolish Night Beauty because he wanted to take revenge for Sun Xinxin.

Before this revelation, Leng Bingbing couldn’t understand why Xia Tian would go smash up a nightclub and beat up Gao Mingyang so badly. Now she understood there was more to the story.

Even though it was just one-sided testimony from Sun Xinxin, Leng Bingbing believed her words. In fact, Leng Bingbing knew about Gao Mingyang’s background and all the dirty deeds he had done; she had always wanted to catch him but lacked evidence. With no solid proof, they couldn’t touch him.

Deep down, Leng Bingbing hated Gao Mingyang very much; when she saw him beaten up last night, she almost laughed out loud. At that moment, there was a sense of satisfaction in her heart, and even at this instant, she felt a bit favorable towards Xia Tian.

Just as Leng Bingbing wanted to send someone to investigate the unfinished high-rise building, she received news that three bodies had been discovered there early this morning and an alarm had already been raised. The case was now handled by the Major Crimes Unit of the First Brigade of Criminal Police.

So, Leng Bingbing continued leaving Xia Tian alone in the interrogation room while she went to the First Brigade to find the head of the Major Crimes Unit, Ge Lei, a forty-something veteran detective.

"Captain Leng, what brings you over here" When Ge Lei saw Leng Bingbing, he was quite surprised. Although they both belonged to the Jianghai City Criminal Investigation Brigade, they rarely ran into each other and didn’t have any special relationship.

"Group Leader Ge, I came for the three bodies in that unfinished building on Yanhe Road." Leng Bingbing got straight to the point about her purpose, then briefly introduced what she knew.

Ge Lei couldn't help but be surprised: "They actually have something to do with Night Beauty's case"

Although they hadn't gotten involved in Gao Mingyang’s case themselves, since it was handled personally by Huang Haitao, the Public Security Bureau chief, they naturally knew about it.

"We can’t confirm if it’s them yet. Sun Xinxin didn’t say that they had died. How about this Group Leader Ge, could you give me their photos so I can have Sun Xinxin identify them" After some thought, Leng Bingbing suggested.

"Captain Leng, let me go with you. If those three really are the kidnappers and Sun Xinxin is a victim, then my case can be closed." Ge Lei proposed.

“No problem,” replied Leng Bingbing readily.

A few minutes later, Leng Bingbing and Ge Lei entered the interrogation room together.

"Sun Xinxin, here are some photos. See if you can find the kidnappers from last night among them." Leng Bingbing handed a stack of photos to Sun Xinxin.

Sun Xinxin quickly picked out three photos: "He, him, and him."

Kelui suddenly got excited: "Xinxin, are you sure it's them"

"Yes, that person with the earrings is very clear to me. Also, this person has a scar on their forehead from a knife. As for this guy, he shot and killed him, so I remember clearly as well." Xinxin nodded in confirmation.

"So you're saying this person was killed by that one" Kelui sounded puzzled. "Did they turn against each other"

"I'm not quite sure," Xinxin shook her head; she indeed wasn't very clear about it, and she felt a bit foggy the whole night.

"When you left with Xia Tian, were these two still alive" Cold Bing asked from the side.

"They should have been alive. I was too scared at that time to be certain," Xinxin said uncertainly.

"Captain Cold, according to the forensic report, both of them died between 1 and 2 AM, when Xia Tian and Sun Xinxin were still here. So it's definitely got nothing to do with them," Kelui whispered.

"I see." Cold Bing frowned slightly; with this forensic report, Xia Tian and Sun Xinxin could indeed be cleared of any suspicion. Of course, even if they couldn't escape the blame entirely, self-defense would still apply.

"Officer Cold, may I leave now" Xinxin asked nervously.

"Hmm, just go through the procedures and you can leave," Cold Bing nodded after a moment's thought.

"What about Xia Tian" Sun Xinxin asked curiously.

Li Bing shook her head and said coldly, "Xia Tian can't leave for the time being. You go back first; he won’t be able to return anytime soon."

"What Officer Li," Sun Xinxin was startled, "what do you mean by that Will Xia Tian... end up in jail"

Li Bing stood up and said, "Whether or not he goes to jail is decided by the court. Wait here for a moment; I’ll have someone come over to process your release."

Li Bing left quickly with Ge Lei, leaving Sun Xinxin sitting uneasily in the interrogation room.

At that moment, Li Bing was once again seated opposite Xia Tian.

"Sun Xinxin has confessed. You killed three kidnappers, right" Li Bing asked coolly.

"Sis Cop," Xia Tian said with a smile, "lying is wrong." He knew exactly what Sun Xinxin would say and had already told her to state whatever she saw without exaggerating because he believed she wasn’t good at lying. Yet the truth was that she couldn't see all of it, so there was nothing to worry about.

"Are you sure Gao Mingyang will definitely die" Li Bing’s question leaped abruptly to a different subject.

“I’m very accurate with my predictions,” Xia Tian said seriously as he looked at Li Bing. "Sis Cop, I’ll do a fortune-telling for you: hmmm... let me see, oh, congratulations Sis Cop, you will soon get married to someone named Xia Tian and have a son named Xia Leng..."xtremely neat as if nothing had happened."This... How strong does one need to be to achieve this It's simply more amazing than even those experts in novels!" Xie Xiaofeng was quite excited and thrille...
