Suspect
It infuriated him.
An indescribable malicious aura surged out.
Murong Wan's figure in a qipao appeared in Li Wei's mind.
Those long, beautiful legs beneath the hem of the dress.
That curvy, voluptuous figure.
And that mature, charming face.
Li Wei licked his lips.
But before taking action, he first had to ensure the safety of his women.
He took out his phone.
And dialed Yang Yun's number.
It rang twice.
It connected.
"Hello?"
Yang Yun's voice came through.
Carrying clear worry.
"Are you okay?"
Li Wei smiled.
"I'm fine, doing great."
He paused.
"Right, Yun Yun, listen to me."
Yang Yun was silent on the other end.
Li Wei continued.
"For the next few days, don't you or Weiwei leave the house."
He paused.
"If there's anything for the Studio, handle it via computer or phone."
Yang Yun was silent for a few seconds.
"Did something happen?"
Li Wei thought for a moment.
"Nothing major."
He paused.
"It's just a precaution, and even if something happens, I'll take care of it."
Yang Yun fell silent again.
After a moment.
"Alright, I understand."
Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mhm, remember to call me immediately if you have any problems."
Yang Yun hummed in affirmation.
"You be careful too."
Li Wei smiled.
"Don't worry."
He hung up the phone.
Li Wei opened his contacts.
Preparing to contact Murong Wan.
But just then.
His phone rang again.
Caller ID: Qin Xue.
Li Wei answered.
"Hello?"
"Li Wei..."
Qin Xue's voice came through.
With clear hesitation.
"I... I just contacted Xiao Bing."
Li Wei slightly furrowed his brow.
"And?"
Qin Xue paused.
"She said she's investigating a major case."
She paused.
"She won't be coming to the hospital anytime soon."
Li Wei understood.
"So you want me to go over right now?"
The sound of a deep breath came from Qin Xue's side.
"Can you? Do you have time now?"
She paused.
"I know this is sudden, but..."
Li Wei interrupted her.
"Qin Xue, I need to be clear."
"Are you certain your sister Qin Bing won't come?"
Qin Xue quickly replied.
"Certain!"
She paused.
"I specifically asked her about her schedule today."
Li Wei thought for a moment.
"Alright."
He paused.
"I'll head over now."
Qin Xue clearly sighed in relief.
"Thank you..."
Li Wei continued.
"It's fine. Just prepare the silver needles."
He paused.
"And a quiet hospital room."
Qin Xue quickly said.
"Okay! I'll prepare them right away!"
Li Wei hung up the phone.
He started the engine.
The mercedes-benz s65 drove out of the parking lot.
Heading towards the hospital... Shen City Criminal Police Team.
Criminal Investigation Office.
Qin Bing put down her phone.
Her brows were tightly furrowed.
Her sister's reaction just now was highly unusual.
She kept asking about her schedule for the day.
She even specifically asked if she would go to the hospital.
This wasn't her sister's style.
While Qin Bing was thinking.
A young Police Officer walked over.
"Officer Qin, Captain Tian needs to see you."
Qin Bing snapped back to reality.
"Alright."
She suppressed the unease in her heart.
She stood up and walked toward Tian Yimin's office.
She knocked on the door.
"Come in."
Tian Yimin's voice came through.
Qin Bing pushed the door open.
Tian Yimin sat behind his desk.
A pile of files lay on the desk.
"You're here, Xiao Qin. Sit."
Qin Bing sat down.
Tian Yimin picked up a file.
"The overnight interrogation yielded results."
Qin Bing's eyes lit up.
"What did they say?"
Tian Yimin opened the file.
"According to the suspect's testimony."
He paused.
"The person who broke into the abandoned factory last night was a man dressed in black."
Qin Bing listened.
Tian Yimin continued.
"He was completely covered up; his face couldn't be seen clearly."
He paused.
"The suspects in the storage room also corroborated that there was only one person involved from start to finish."
Qin Bing frowned.
"What about the weapon?"
Tian Yimin looked at the file.
"It seems to have been a fountain pen."
He paused.
"Forensics confirmed that the wounds were highly consistent with the tip of a fountain pen."
Qin Bing's eyes flickered.
A fountain pen?
Tian Yimin continued.
"Also, the reason those people in the storage room acted that way is because the man in black fed them a potent aphrodisiac."
Qin Bing's face flushed slightly.
"So that's why..."
Tian Yimin nodded.
"Yes. Blood sample tests showed that all those individuals had Triazolam in their blood."
He paused.
"However, there is another important clue."
Qin Bing looked at him.
Tian Yimin flipped to another page.
"According to one suspect's testimony."
He paused.
"They hit the man in black's shoulder with a steel pipe and injured him."
Qin Bing's eyes widened.
"So the man in black was injured?"
Tian Yimin nodded.
"It seems so."
Qin Bing fell silent.
After a moment.
"Besides this, were there no other valuable clues left behind?"
Tian Yimin shook his head.
"No fingerprints, and the weapon wasn't found."
He paused.
"Only footprints were left."
Qin Bing looked at him.
"What can be deduced from that?"
Tian Yimin thought for a moment.
"Roughly 1.85 meters tall, weighing 75 kilograms."
He paused.
"Male, about thirty years old."
Qin Bing bit her lip.
"What about the nearby surveillance?"
Tian Yimin seemed to have anticipated her question.
He pulled a photo from the drawer.
"The surveillance cameras nearby were intentionally damaged by this group over a long period; none of them work."
He paused.
"We only captured this on the periphery."
Qin Bing took the photo.
The photo was very blurry.
It was taken about one kilometer from the scene of the crime.
Only a black car could be made out.
As well as a figure entirely dressed in black.
Qin Bing stared at the photo.
This figure... why does it look a bit like Li Wei?
She suddenly raised her head.
"Captain Tian, are you certain that person injured their shoulder?"
Tian Yimin nodded.
"Certain."
He paused.
"All three suspects said so."
Qin Bing clutched the photo tightly.
Li Wei's figure appeared in her mind.
His height.
His physique.
And the skills he displayed that day helping her apprehend the suspect in the alley.
No way... Qin Bing shook her head.
It shouldn't be him.
Tian Yimin looked at her.
"Xiao Qin, what are you thinking about?"
Qin Bing snapped back to attention.
"Nothing."
She put down the photo.
"Captain Tian, I don't think it's necessary to relentlessly pursue this man in black."
Tian Yimin raised an eyebrow.
"Why?"
Qin Bing thought for a moment.
"First, he didn't cause any fatalities."
She paused.
"Second, he helped us immensely."
Tian Yimin nodded.
"I considered that too."
He paused.
"If it weren't for him, those children would have been in danger."
Qin Bing continued.
"Looking at the interrogation report, the suspects confessed that these children were originally supposed to be sold to Northern Myanmar today via human traffickers."
Tian Yimin sighed.
"That's right."
But Qin Bing frowned.
"But Captain Tian, I have a different perspective now."
Tian Yimin looked at her.
"Tell me."
Qin Bing organized her thoughts.
"Although this man in black saved the children."
She paused.
"His actions are essentially vigilantism."
Tian Yimin nodded.
"Continue."
Qin Bing continued.
"If we tacitly approve of this kind of behavior."
She paused.
"It means acknowledging the legitimacy of vigilantism."
Tian Yimin looked thoughtful.
Qin Bing continued.
"Today, he can punish human traffickers in the name of justice."
She paused.
"Tomorrow, he might punish others for different reasons."
Tian Yimin looked at her.
"Are you saying the boundaries of the law cannot be blurred?"
Qin Bing nodded.
"Exactly."
She paused.
"Furthermore, this person is highly skilled."
She looked at the photo.
"If he ever stands against the law."
She paused.
"He would be a major hidden danger."
Tian Yimin fell silent.
After a moment.
"What you said makes sense."
He paused.
"But right now, we have no clues."
Qin Bing thought for a moment.
"What about the children?"
Tian Yimin opened the file.
"They are temporarily receiving treatment in the hospital."
He paused.
"They were fed sleeping pills."
Qin Bing nodded.
"Do they have anything on them to prove their identity?"
Tian Yimin shook his head.
"No."
He paused.
"We can only wait for them to wake up before conducting an investigation."
Qin Bing's eyes brightened.
"Which hospital?"
Tian Yimin glanced at the file.
"Municipal First Hospital."
Qin Bing's heart skipped a beat.
Isn't that the hospital where Mom is staying?
