Chapter 223: Trust
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Bai Luo and Xia Jin spent an entire day watching the footage before finally narrowing down on the suspect.
“Have you asked the person who made the report if he knows the suspect in the photo?” Yin Tao felt that the possibility of Xi Feng knowing the murderer was not high, but as long as there was a trace of hope, she had to grasp it tightly.
“Not yet. I’ll call the person who reported the case tomorrow to confirm it.” Bai Luo thought for a moment and decided to ask, “Xiaotao, do you think that the person who reported the case is not suspicious at all?”
Yin Tao shook her head and asked Bai Luo in puzzlement, ‘Why do you think this way? Did you discover another clue?”
After hesitating for a moment, Bai Luo took out a set of information from her backpack and explained to Yin Tao, “This is the specific information of the company. My master feels that there are some problems with this Xicheng
Corporation. It seems to be connected with the people from the black market.”
Bai Luo knew that Yin Tao knew the President of Xicheng Corporation, but Bai Luo was still willing to trust Yin Tao.
“Black market?” Yin Tao felt that the problem may lie with Liang Yi. Based on her understanding of Xi Feng, Yin Tao felt that other than being related to Liang Yi, who might have dealings with the black market, there shouldn’t be anything else.
“I understand, but doesn’t the person who reported this have sufficient alibis?” Yin Tao remembered that Xi Feng wasn’t a suspect. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to leave the police station so quickly.
“He may not be present at the material time, but this doesn’t necessarily mean that the matter has nothing to do with him.” Bai Luo voiced her guess. “He’s the President of Xicheng Corporation. Isn’t there anyone he can trust? He doesn’t have to do these things himself. ‘
“Then what’s Xi Feng’s motive?” Yin Tao didn’t refute Bai Luo immediately.
Instead, she wanted to know what Bai Luo was thinking.
“Perhaps the victim knows some of the company’s secrets, or it’s purely a personal grudge?” Bai Luo didn’t know the exact situation. The reason why she was suspecting Xi Feng was because Captain Chen was checking on some of Xicheng Corporation’s projects.
“All these are speculative. Everything has to be based on evidence.” Yin Tao quickly shot down Bai Luo’s theories. “Xi Feng’s motive for committing the crime is unknown, and he has alibis, so the possibility of him being the murderer is not high.”
“Xiaotao, don’t bring your personal feelings into the case. Captain Feng gave up on participating in the investigation because he was close with the person who reported the case. It is taboo for police officers to be swayed by our emotions.”
Yin Tao looked at Bai Luo, who was trying her best to persuade her, and asked her with a smile, “Do you think I’m very emotional?’
Bai Luo was taken aback by Yin Tao’s question. After thinking about it, she realized she might have been overthinking. “Not really. It’s just that people tend to make this mistake.”
“Even someone as capable as Team Feng has made the mistake of trusting an acquaintance too much.”
Yin Tao was intrigued by what Bai Luo said. “Captain Feng? What mistake did he make? Why haven’t I heard of it?”
“It’s only expected that you don’t know. At that time, Captain Feng was still in the Municipal Public Security Bureau. He almost got into trouble because he trusted his master.”
Yin Tao listened to Bai Luo intently as she continued, “At that time, Captain Feng had already been very successful. If not for what happened with his master, he might have been made deputy director already.”
‘What happened to Captain Feng’s master?” Yin Tao had never heard Feng Jing mention his master. She had always thought that Feng Jing was outstanding and did not need to intern under anyone. She did not expect him to be led by his master to handle cases like her.
“It doesn’t seem like a big crime. Captain Feng didn’t suspect his master at all.
He was misled by his master and as such missed out many important clues.” Bai Luo didn’t know much about the Municipal Public Security Bureau. She had heard about this from the other police officers. As many people looked up to Captain Feng, everything about him tended to be scrutinized.
‘What happened in the end?” Yin Tao was curious about how the case with Feng Jing’s master was finally settled.
“He was dismissed. Although the matter wasn’t serious, the impact was very huge. The old detective who led Captain Feng was also a legend in the police station. Many people felt sorry that he should end up this way.”
Bai Luo had also heard a little about Feng Jing’s master. That old senior was a model police officer. If not for what happened, he would have had a better ending.
“Don’t worry, I’m very rational. Even if a case we encounter in the future is related to you, I’ll definitely deal with it impartially,” Yin Tao deliberately teased Bai Luo..
