281: As bait

Facing Captain Liang's surprise, Su Yue also nodded calmly.

"Yes."

Worried that Captain Liang might overthink, Su Yue also directly told Captain Liang his inner thoughts.

"Captain Liang, I think it's also good to have you Police as backing."

Hearing Su Yue's explanation, Captain Liang was undeniably surprised.

However, the surprise was only momentary, and soon Captain Liang guessed Su Yue's purpose for doing this.

To be honest, Captain Liang was quite supportive of Su Yue being able to think things through.

But of course, no matter what Su Yue's choice was, she would support him.

After all, Su Yue's initial choice to hide was also to protect himself. And his current choice to expose himself is actually because his strength is getting stronger and stronger now, and at this time, he can easily attract the attention of others who are jealous.

If Police were really protecting him, he could indeed avoid a lot of trouble.

Having thought it through, Captain Liang was also very supportive of Su Yue, she nodded: "So that's how it is, I understand. I will do my best to help you from now on."

Hearing this, Su Yue smiled directly: "Then I'll thank Captain Liang."

Their conversation was very quiet, and the other big shots present didn't know what the two of them had just discussed.

However, when Director Zhang saw Captain Liang chatting so happily with Su Yue, he also smiled and teased the two of them.

"It seems our police flower Liang does have a very good relationship with this Yuan. I also hope Yuan can give Xiao Liang more face and reveal more useful intelligence to us Police in the future."

Director Zhang's teasing immediately brought Captain Liang back to her senses, and it was only then that she was startled to realize that the people standing in front of them were all big shots from the bureau, and yet she was chatting with Su Yue here. This was indeed improper of her.

Coming to her senses, Captain Liang didn't dare to pull Su Yue aside to say anything more at this time, but instead quickly introduced Su Yue to the few big shots who were still observing him at the meeting.

"Leaders, this is Yuan, who provided our Criminal Investigation Team with clues for the tomb raiding case, the stolen painting case, and this headless body case."

Su Yue nodded to the crowd in response.

The people sitting at the conference table began to look at Su Yue and discuss amongst themselves, their words filled with admiration for Su Yue.

"As expected, young people are outstanding, to be able to provide such useful clues."

"Exactly, it seems we have to admit we are getting old."

Facing the teasing of the big shots, Su Yue didn't show an overly arrogant or smug expression, his face was calm, and he accepted their praise openly.

Although these people were praising him so much now, Su Yue knew that privately, they might still be doubting him in who knows what way.

However, Su Yue wasn't too worried about what they might do to him now. He was still useful to them, and if they wanted to solve the case quickly, he could probably still help.

As expected, the middle-aged man at the top was the first to interrupt the discussion, looking at Su Yue kindly.

"Since you are already here, please sit down and listen to the details of this case. Perhaps Mr. Yuan can provide new clues?"

As soon as she heard the other party say this, Captain Liang immediately turned back to look at Su Yue nervously, fearing to see regret in his eyes.

She was worried that inviting Su Yue to Police Station today would bring him big trouble.

Su Yue also noticed Captain Liang's gaze, looked at her reassuringly, then looked at the middle-aged man in the center, and sat down in the seat they had prepared for him.

This position was in the middle, which wouldn't make him too prominent, nor would it disrespect him.

However, Director Zhang and the deputy director were sitting on his left and right, and both of them were very friendly towards Su Yue.

If Su Yue's psychological strength hadn't become strong enough during this time, he might have truly been scared by such an arrangement.

However, it was precisely because of this that Su Yue felt that this step he took today, risking exposure, was actually not wrong.

After all, he knew that he couldn't hide the fact that he sold intelligence forever. If he wanted to continue living a stable life like this in the future, he couldn't keep the intelligence system a secret any longer.

Of course, he wasn't so foolish as to reveal all his secrets directly; he definitely wouldn't tell them about the basement situation.

While Su Yue was being observed by others, he was also silently observing the people around him.

Perhaps because he had indeed provided them with many useful clues during this time, at least on the surface, Su Yue did not see any abnormalities on their faces. Everyone was pleasantly surprised by his appearance.

However, this doesn't represent anything. You can know a person's face but not their heart. Su Yue wouldn't easily fall for their tricks, and he still maintained vigilance towards them.

Although Captain Liang was worried about Su Yue in her heart, she was a subordinate after all. When her superiors instructed her to do something, even if she was unwilling, she had to follow through.

After confirming that Su Yue had no negative emotions and his expression was calm and composed, Captain Liang finally stepped forward to introduce the latest progress of the case.

Su Yue's guess was correct. With his repeated provision of clues, they had indeed found many pieces of evidence.

Even combining the surveillance footage Su Yue sent her, Captain Liang had locked onto a suspect.

It's just that without evidence, they couldn't do anything to the other party yet.

As for Zhu Hua, although he didn't admit anything, several headless bodies investigated by Police so far were related to him before they died, so he won't be able to leave Police Station anytime soon.

Captain Liang is indeed someone who successfully established herself in Police Station through her own efforts in just a few years. Under her explanation, everyone present quickly gained a clear understanding of the case as she introduced it.

Someone asked: "Since you have already found out which factory produced the murder weapon used by the killer, why haven't you found out how this batch of goods was sold?"

When discussing the case, Captain Liang always had an unusual radiance about her. Regarding the question raised by that person, Captain Liang calmly explained to the other party.

"Both the buyer and the seller used foreign networks for the transaction, and the express delivery used international logistics. It will take us some time to find the real recipient."

"However, it has been almost deciphered now, and I believe we will receive good news soon."

After that, Captain Liang answered a few more questions. Captain Liang treated every question asked with utmost seriousness and explained them very clearly.

The crowd, who were originally dissatisfied, had no further objections after Captain Liang's explanation.

After all, investigating a case is not an easy task, and Captain Liang had already investigated all the issues that could be investigated clearly.

Now the case is about to face the truth being revealed, and they have no reason to make things difficult for Captain Liang at this time.

Otherwise, if Captain Liang was made too difficult by them and she led her subordinates to work passively, then they would truly regret it too late.

While Captain Liang was debating against the crowd alone, the middle-aged man at the top and Su Yue remained silent.

Su Yue was silent because although Captain Liang did not tell him all the details of her case handling, from his usual communication with Captain Liang, he could still guess how far Captain Liang had investigated the case.

As for her facing the difficulty from more than ten people alone now, this is also part of her job.

If Captain Liang couldn't handle this kind of thing, then Su Yue would really have to doubt whether Captain Liang was truly suitable to be the Criminal Investigation Team Captain.

However, Su Yue was not disappointed. The facts proved that Captain Liang being able to stand in this position at such a young age was entirely because of her strong ability; she was completely qualified.

Speaking of which, this was the first time Su Yue had seen such a strong side of Captain Liang.

Usually, Captain Liang is also quite assertive, but it's completely different from the current situation.

Currently, Captain Liang is facing more than ten big shots who are more powerful than her alone, and these big shots are making things difficult for her.

Despite this, Captain Liang did not show any timidity, facing the accusations from the crowd calmly, and explaining things to them clearly, logically, and with self-possession.

It must be said that this side of Captain Liang truly made Su Yue admire her from the bottom of his heart.

There are not many people who can be as calm as Captain Liang.

Finally, Director Zhang, who was sitting to Su Yue's left, smiled and asked Su Yue, which broke the situation where Captain Liang was being constantly questioned.

"Yuan, what are your thoughts on this case?"

Su Yue looked at Director Zhang and did not see any malice in his eyes.

However, being able to call out Su Yue by name at this time can be considered a test for Su Yue.

Su Yue was not too uncomfortable. Seeing that he was called out, he did not hide anything and generously spoke out his thoughts.

"Captain Liang just said that the killer has currently set his sights on Zhu Hua's next target - Lin Jia."

"Regarding the two capture plans proposed by Captain Liang, I actually don't agree with either of them."

Hearing this, Captain Liang quickly explained: "Yuan, you don't need to worry, we will definitely send enough people to protect Lin Jia and absolutely won't let any accidents happen to her."

The two plans Captain Liang proposed this time were one to have Lin Jia actively lure out the killer, and the other was to find someone to impersonate Lin Jia.

In fact, when she was formulating the plans, she had considered that Su Yue might disagree with her plans. Therefore, to reassure Su Yue, she also mentioned the plan of having someone impersonate Lin Jia.

Who knew that, just as Captain Liang thought, Su Yue completely disagreed with her plans, and even directly rejected both the plan to lure out the killer and the plan to impersonate Lin Jia.

To make Su Yue change his mind sooner, she even added: "Yuan, this is the fastest way to catch the killer and the best way to protect Lin Jia."

After all, if the killer is allowed to roam free for one more day, Lin Jia will have to live in fear for one more day.

Captain Liang's relationship with Lin Jia is currently quite good, so naturally, she doesn't want her to live in constant fear.

Su Yue naturally knew that what Captain Liang said was true. These two methods were indeed the fastest ways to catch the killer, but Su Yue didn't dare to gamble with Lin Jia's life.

Even if Lin Jia said they would send enough people to protect Lin Jia, the other party is a villain with more than ten lives on his hands. The psychology of such a person cannot be judged by the psychology of a normal person.

He really couldn't ensure that Lin Jia could truly escape safely from this person's hands, so he didn't want to try any plan that might put Lin Jia in danger.

However, Su Yue also knew that the killer must be caught. After directly rejecting Captain Liang's plans, he also took the initiative to tell them.

"I don't want to gamble with Lin Jia's life, and this plan to lure out the killer is actually full of loopholes. It's difficult for Police to guarantee 100% that your people won't be exposed when protecting Lin Jia."

"I have a method, which is for you to release Zhu Hua first, and release news that Police suspect that everything Zhu Hua said was told by me, making Zhu Hua hate me to the bone. This way, we can directly find the latest evidence."

Because the headless bodies were from a long time ago, and the other party was skilled, they had already cleaned up the traces around the bodies. Currently, they don't have much useful evidence.

Moreover, they still haven't found the real murder weapon and the crime scene. Unless they can make the other party go to the crime scene again this time, it will be useless even if they catch the person.

And after Su Yue finished speaking, Captain Liang instantly understood the reason why he wanted to do this, but this matter also involved Su Yue's life safety, so she subconsciously wanted to refuse.

"No, that's too dangerous for you. And we can't guarantee that Zhu Hua is the mastermind behind the scenes by doing this. We might end up with nothing."

Seeing that Captain Liang was actually worried about his safety, Su Yue felt both amused and warm inside.

So Captain Liang thought Lin Jia wouldn't get hurt, but he would? Could it be that in Captain Liang's eyes, he was that weak?

Although he thought this, Su Yue still gently explained to Captain Liang: "Captain Liang, don't worry, no matter what, I am a bit stronger than Lin Jia. If she can be safe and sound, I definitely won't be in trouble either."

Hearing Su Yue say this, Captain Liang was startled, and then her face turned red.

Su Yue was pointing it out to her.

However, it was normal for Su Yue to have such a strong opinion of her. After all, she thought they could protect Lin Jia and prevent Lin Jia from getting hurt, but when it came to Su Yue, she said he would get hurt and didn't let him do it.

This matter sounded wrong, and it was no wonder Su Yue would say it directly in front of everyone.

But Captain Liang calmed down and thought about it carefully. She was indeed just as she said, she was worried that Su Yue would get hurt, so she didn't want him to joke with his life.

Then, why did she feel this way...

Captain Liang's expression was a bit stiff, and she fell into deep thought.

As for Su Yue's suggestion, the others didn't have too much objection.

After all, for them, whether it was Su Yue, Lin Jia, or the person impersonating Lin Jia, they were all just tools to catch the killer in their eyes.

It's just that Su Yue's status among them was a bit more noble than the other two, but only limited to that.

However, the plan Su Yue mentioned was indeed much more adventurous than the two plans proposed by Captain Liang, but it was precisely because of this risk that they would be able to obtain more useful evidence later.

If they didn't find direct evidence, neither the killer nor Zhu Hua would admit anything.

After alerting the enemy, it would be difficult for them to apprehend them all at once again.

Therefore, Director Zhang frowned and asked Su Yue: "Yuan, are you sure you are okay with being the bait?"
