122: Chapter 122 Useless Evidence

"Secretary Chu, leaders, look at this guy Jiang Chen. He looks incredibly fierce. That look in his eyes makes it seem like he's about to go on a killing spree any second now."

Chu Yuan said, looking at Jiang Chen with amusement, as if the enemy before him was a complete idiot.

This guy actually thought he could deal with him using his measly little tricks without even thoroughly investigating his enemy's background.

The reputation of the Shanghai Chu Family was not just empty talk.

Even now, what was revealed was merely the tip of the iceberg.

However, most Protagonists were like those complete idiots, carrying an impulsive gene.

Relying on being the Son of Destiny, believing that heaven would always favor them, and being accustomed to being arrogant and overbearing, they naturally wouldn't take a villainous wealthy second-generation heir like him seriously.

"Jiang Chen privately mobilized state resources for personal use and is suspected of endangering public safety, among other offenses. After discussion by the Standing Committee, it has been decided to strip Jiang Chen of all his duties and immediately launch an investigation."

"Director Jiang, you are in charge of Shanghai's security. I'll leave him to you."

Party Secretary Chu Yushan said coldly.

"Secretary Chu, please rest assured. I guarantee he won't be able to escape even if he grew wings."

"Men, disarm Jiang Chen, handcuff him, and take him back to the bureau for detention pending further investigation."

Once Police Bureau Chief Jiang Haitian gave the order, the situation instantly became clear. The police officers, who had been hesitant, immediately swarmed forward and surrounded Jiang Chen.

"What do you think you're doing?"

"Secretary Chu, you are the Party Secretary of Shanghai after all. Publicly shielding a murderer like Chu Yuan—is there still any justice in this world? Is there still any law?"

Jiang Chen was completely frantic now.

He had originally thought that since he had taken care of everything, making these people bystanders, and with Mayor Liu's written order, he could turn this case into an open-and-shut case with lightning speed.

As long as he captured Chu Yuan and forced a confession out of him admitting that he was the mastermind behind the serial murders, no matter how deep Chu Yuan's background was, he would never be able to overturn the case.

He never expected that Party Secretary Chu Yushan would arrive so quickly and, without distinguishing right from wrong, prepare to take action against him.

"What a 'murderer' indeed."

"Words alone are no proof. Deputy Director Jiang Chen, why don't you bring out the witnesses and physical evidence to prove that all those things were done by this Young Master?"

Chu Yuan smiled playfully.

Just as he had analyzed, except for the murder of Cao Shuwen's family, which had some connection to him...

Whether it was Zhang Yang or Wang Hao, although their deaths were planned by him, there couldn't possibly be any evidence pointing back to him.

Even if Jiang Chen had some crappy system, there was no way that crappy system could fabricate a bunch of evidence to frame him.

Hearing Chu Yuan's confident tone, Party Secretary Chu Yushan also felt reassured and turned his gaze to Jiang Chen.

"Since you want to seek your own doom, I'll make sure you accept your defeat completely."

"Chu Yuan is right. If you have ironclad evidence, bring it out."

Everyone turned their gaze to Jiang Chen.

"Zhang Yang is Nie Yuqing's ex-boyfriend. Previously, due to relationship issues, he was framed by Chu Yuan and arrested on charges of fraud."

"Chu Yuan has been targeting Zhang Yang all this time. I have already secured the relevant witnesses and evidence."

"As for Cao Shuwen, he was Zhang Yang's good friend. He had been helping Zhang Yang and even got into a conflict with Chu Yuan, leading to his murder by Chu Yuan."

"Before his incident, Wang Hao had sent people to teach Chu Yuan and Nie Yuqing a lesson. Thus, Chu Yuan struck first and sent someone to kill Wang Hao."

"The reason Chu Yuan killed the two of them was because of Nie Yuqing. Both of them liked Nie Yuqing, and Nie Yuqing is a woman kept by Chu Yuan."

"This is a serial murder case triggered by relationship issues."

As he spoke, Jiang Chen cast his gaze upon Officer Lin Wanzhu, as if to tell her: *Look, Chu Yuan already has a woman, yet he still flirts around everywhere, steals other people's girlfriends, and even ruins their families.*

It had to be said that Jiang Chen did have some ability. He had done his homework before coming and had gathered plenty of evidence in a short amount of time.

After hearing his narrative, Officer Lin Wanzhu did not feel the slightest aversion toward Chu Yuan.

As the Captain of the Criminal Police, she keenly sensed that although he had said a great deal and presented what seemed like a mountain of evidence pointing at Chu Yuan, it was actually nothing more than an attempt to mislead.

"Jiang Chen, you claim that Young Master Chu is the killer in this serial murder case and that it was a crime of passion, but you should bring out actual witnesses and physical evidence to prove it, instead of rambling on with a bunch of non-substantial claims."

"Did someone see Young Master Chu commit the murders with their own eyes, or is there physical evidence showing that Young Master Chu did it?"

Officer Lin Wanzhu utilized her professional expertise, her words filled with skepticism.

"Chu Yuan is a young master of the Chu Family. How could he personally commit murder? He was merely the mastermind behind the scenes."

"Since you say this Young Master is the mastermind, then bring out the ironclad proof of my mastermind role and let these prominent figures back you up."

This time, it wasn't Officer Lin Wanzhu speaking, but Chu Yuan questioning him.

"Although I don't have ironclad evidence, the evidence I possess is enough to apprehend Chu Yuan and launch an investigation."

Chu Yuan smiled.

Party Secretary Chu Yushan smiled.

Police Bureau Chief Jiang Haitian also let out a cold laugh.

It turned out this guy didn't have a shred of solid evidence, yet he ran all the way here to make an arrest and even clamored about going on a killing spree.

This kind of evidence could indeed be used to arrest ordinary citizens.

But to use it against Chu Yuan—even ironclad evidence wouldn't easily work.

Party Secretary Chu Yushan said no more, giving Police Bureau Chief Jiang Haitian a meaningful look.

"No matter how flowery your words are, it is all just your baseless imagination."

"Those three murder cases involving Zhang Yang have absolutely nothing to do with Young Master Chu."

"Jiang Haitian, you are shielding him! You..."

Jiang Chen wanted to say more, but then a deep, resonant voice echoed from outside the villa: "The cases of Zhang Yang and the others have absolutely nothing to do with Young Master Chu."

As the voice fell, a middle-aged man in his fifties appeared in everyone's line of sight.

His torch-like eyes emitted a dangerous gleam, and his entire body exuded a deep, powerful aura.

A Transcendent expert?

The newcomer was definitely not simple.

Even Chu Yuan was somewhat puzzled. This person didn't seem to be an enemy; when did he gain another "ally"?

"You say there's no connection and that makes it so? Who the hell do you think you are?"

Jiang Chen said in irritation.

There were far too many variables today. Chu Yuan's helpers were arriving one after another, making things increasingly unfavorable for Jiang Chen.

A wealthy second-generation heir like Chu Yuan actually possessed Transcendent strength.

And major figures like Party Secretary Chu Yushan had come to support Chu Yuan.

Now, another terrifyingly powerful expert had appeared out of nowhere.

Even with his system, Jiang Chen feared it would be difficult to resolve things peacefully today.

Jiang Chen's eyes darted around as he searched for a way to break the deadlock.
