Chapter 494: Chapter 494 Conspiracy, Set-Up_1

Wei Shuxian pushed his glasses up and said in a deep voice, "Officer, who was the person who got killed?"

The young police officer sighed, "I’m sorry, but due to principles, we cannot disclose the information of the deceased."

The police officer holding the folder said with a smile, "Little Rang, you might as well tell him, because if you don’t, Chairman Li already knows, and as soon as you turn around, he will tell these two."

The young police officer was stunned for a moment and asked the one with the folder, "How does he know?"

"My brother-in-law told me when he was drunk; he said that Chairman Li of the supernatural detective society has a very special ability: as long as he has a physical touch with someone, he can know all their information," the police officer with the folder said with a smile looking at you. "The reason he shook hands with you just now was to find out the information about this case, right?"

Since it couldn’t be concealed, you nodded and said solemnly to the two people beside you, "The deceased’s surname is Liu, and he was Liu Qing’s brother."

"Liu Qing’s brother? Then it’s even less likely that Black Bull was the perpetrator. After all, that person would be his future uncle by marriage; he’d be trying to suck up to him instead of harming him."

The two police officers looked at each other. Officer Rang turned to you and asked, "Chairman Li, the information you mentioned just now, did you really read it from me? So, do you know my name?"

You nodded and said in a deep voice, "Your surname is Rang, your name is Rang Hongfei. You graduated from Eastern Sea Police School with excellent grades. With your skills and experience, you were supposed to join the Yuhang City Criminal Police Brigade, but some time ago, during a special operation, you acted on your own initiative. Although you caught the criminal, you also disrupted the operation plan of the entire team, which resulted in a colleague getting shot. You made a big mistake and were kicked out of the brigade by the crazy woman, Xian Qianling."

"Could this... Could this be something a friend in the criminal police told you?" Rang Hongfei still didn’t believe it.

With a twitch of your mouth, you said indifferently, "Don’t worry, I’ve automatically filtered out much of your information. Things like having a crush on your high school English teacher or secretly admiring Officer Chen in college, I have no clue about."

Rang Hongfei did not expect you to be aware of even this, so he couldn’t help but cover his forehead, sighing, "Please, let’s not bring that up."

With such private information being uncovered, Rang Hongfei had no choice but to believe you.

Of course, you also had no time for jokes now, and looked straight at Rang Hongfei, "I’m quite lazy and don’t usually interfere with other people’s business. However, since this matter involves a good brother of mine, I can’t just stand by idly. Liu Yang’s death must be suspicious. Liao Yong hasn’t returned since he went out in the evening. If he comes back, I will find out what happened right away. At that time, I will assist you in solving the case."

Rang Hongfei nodded, walked over to Liao Yong’s desk, put on gloves, took a used glass that belonged to Liao Yong, and put it in a plastic bag before leaving with his colleague.

As soon as they left, Yang Kai, who was in the bed, lifted the quilt again. He had already dressed and immediately jumped out of bed, saying to you and Wei Shuxian, "Old Shu, let’s go, we have to find Black Bull right away!"

Wei Shuxian hastily stopped the impulsive Yang Kai, "Don’t be rash!"

"Oh, my god, Black Bull is in trouble! He’s my brother, I can’t just ignore it!"

"I know! Black Bull is my brother too," Wei Shuxian said firmly, "I’m also very anxious about his trouble, but we can’t blindly rush in. With Old Shu’s abilities, finding Black Bull wouldn’t be difficult, but we all know Black Bull’s temper. He’s loyal and honorable, and if he’s involved, it means the matter definitely has a lot to do with him. What we need to do now is to figure out the whole story behind this incident!"

Wei Shuxian then asked you, "Old Shu, recount the entire incident for me, so I can straighten things out."

You nodded, "At 1:17 a.m. today, the police station received an emergency call. A small-time hoodlum made the call, and he kept shouting that someone was dead; somebody was dead. The police rushed to a bar and found the scene there extremely chaotic. According to the information Rang Hongfei gathered, Liu Yang entered the bar around 9:30 p.m., drinking with a bunch of fair-weather friends, and even bragged quite a bit, claiming he was about to make a fortune soon and would buy a house in the most expensive area of Yuhang City. At around 11 p.m., Liu Yang received a phone call and left."

"11 p.m., doesn’t that exactly coincide with the time Black Bull left our dorm?" Yang Kai exclaimed in surprise.

You continued solemnly, "Liu Yang was gone for about an hour and a half, and returned around 1 a.m. When he came back, he had a noticeable bruise on his face and had sustained some injuries. Compared to earlier, he seemed furious, and kept shouting about killing someone with the surname Liao the next day. Then, not long after, Liu Yang received another call and rushed out in a hurry, only to hear a scream outside just as he left the bar. When people rushed out, they found a dagger stabbed into Liu Yang’s chest, and a brawny man was sprinting away."

Wei Shuxian frowned and uttered several key words, "Figure, surveillance cameras, dagger, fingerprints."

You responded, "Rang Hongfei also saw the figure in the surveillance footage, and it very much resembled Black Bull. According to what Liu Yang’s friends said, the dagger was his own and he always carried it with him. And the fingerprints of the murderer were left on that dagger. That’s why Hong Fei took Black Bull’s teacup, to check for a fingerprint match."

"If the fingerprints match, wouldn’t that prove the murderer is Black Bull?" asked Yang Kai, frowning.

"Yes, indeed!" you replied gravely, and then turned your head to look at Wei Shuxian, asking, "Glasses, you’re an expert in this area, analyze it for us, will you? I’m already too lazy to think."

"It’s clearly a premeditated murder set up to frame someone. What I don’t understand is how Black Bull became entangled with Liu Qing’s brother; there must be something going on there."

Cracking your neck, you stood up and said to the two of them, "Let’s go, we should start our investigation."

The three of you got into the car, and Wei Shuxian asked you, "Where shall we go first?"

"Where else but to find Black Bull," you said.

"Silly, we need to get the full story clear first, otherwise, even if we do find Black Bull, with his reticent nature, he’s not going to tell us anything," Wei Shuxian gave Yang Kai a sideways glance. "Think about it for yourself, Black Bull knows there’s been trouble but hasn’t made a single call to us. Why is that?"

"Ob– obviously not because he’s afraid we’ll report him, it’s... it’s because he doesn’t want to drag us into this," Yang Kai replied.

"Right! At least you’re not completely brainless," Wei Shuxian turned to you and said, "We should first investigate Liu Yang. To tell you the truth, I’ve been brothers with Black Bull for half a year now, but I know nothing about his family background or Liu Qing’s family circumstances. In that respect, I guess we’re not really doing our duty as brothers."

You sighed softly, "The reason we don’t pry is to afford each other more privacy, and also because we don’t want to disrupt each other’s lives."

Yang Kai was silent for a moment before speaking, "I do know a bit about Black Bull’s family situation."

"Speak!" you and Wei Shuxian said in unison.
