“It’s for the benefit of the case.” Fifth Young Master Shen trembled for a split second although his expression remained as still as water.
“Chief Shen, perhaps the right question is who’s the person behind your intention?” Chu Wuyou laughed coldly internally. She came here today as a favor for her senior hence Fifth Young Master Shen must know better than to block her path no matter the circumstances. She reckoned someone else was behind this.
Fifth Young Master Shen was stunned. It was inevitable that she realized his effort in delaying her leave but why did she seem determined that he was doing this under someone else’s instruction?
“You’re pulling my legs, Miss Tang. I just really want to discuss some matters regarding the case.” Fifth Young Master Shen suddenly felt diffident before her.
“Chief Shen, I’ll not involve myself in this case anymore because of your actions. Today’s already the nineteenth day of Mu Shaobai’s detention and I’m not bothered if you have to release the detainee tomorrow.” Chu Wuyou attempted a sneer, her voice laced with indifference.
“What have you discovered?” Fifth Young Master Shen changed his attitude at the mention of the case and his face grew solemn. He could not bring himself to believe the meaningless conversation in the interrogation room earlier could shed some light upon the truth.
Chu Wuyou read his mind but she was displeased to be looked down upon.
“Mu Shaobai has a heterosexual orientation. He’s not interested in men but women.” Chu Wuyou knew she would not be able to leave until Fifth Young Master Shen was convinced.
“That’s impossible. My men investigated this from the beginning and there’s no mistake to it.” Fifth Young Master Shen denied instantly.
“There’s no need for an investigation regarding matters like this. Chief Shen, you only need to verify using the straightforward method, which is also the fastest and the most reliable way.” Although the method she recommended was shameless, it was practical nonetheless.
Fifth Young Master Shen understood her hidden meaning immediately. He pursed his lips and did not comment further. If Mu Shaobai was determined to conceal the truth, nothing could prevent him from spreading fake rumors to skew the results of their investigation. The method she mentioned earlier, however, could unquestionably yield an honest answer.
Her face was written over with indifference but Fifth Young Master Shen subconsciously believed her words.
“Mu Shaobai must be concealing an unusual secret if he’s willing to sacrifice his reputation to mislead the public.” The quick-witted Fifth Young Master Shen managed to grasp the crucial point within a matter of seconds.
Chu Wuyou smiled gently but refused to comment.
“Miss Tang, do you know what he’s hiding from us?” Fifth Young Master Shen’s eyes twinkled with brilliance upon noticing her expression. Was it possible that she had figured out something important?
Indeed, he failed to recognize her capability earlier in the interrogation room, but there was something else that he could not bring himself to ignore. She was recommended by Big Brother and the latter would never introduce someone incompetent.
“I was going to send over the findings when I got home, but from the looks of it, Chief Shen, you seem not too bothered about my opinions.” Chu Wuyou twitched her lips and glanced over meaningfully at the policemen who were blocking the path along the corridor. Surely he was planning to force her into staying longer?
Fifth Young Master Shen understood the double entendre instantly. He was the people’s police and this case had already involved more than enough innocent lives. He really feared that releasing Mu Shaobai meant more people would get hurt.
Considering the weight of those innocent lives, he had no other alternatives than stepping over his Third Elder Brother’s instruction.
“Miss Tang, please…” Fifth Young Master Shen did not insist further.
Chu Wuyou picked up her pace and entered the elevator straightaway. A couple of seconds before the doors to the elevator shut, she landed her piercing gaze on Fifth Young Master Shen as she revealed an enigmatic smile simultaneously. Almost immediately, the man on the receiving end felt tiny goosebumps rising all over his body.
“Third Elder Brother, you’ve arrived? Yup, she’s gone downstairs.” Fifth Young Master Shen made a phone call to Ye Lanchen as soon as the elevator shut its door. He felt a heavy burden being lifted off his shoulder upon hearing the latter had arrived at the main hall on the first floor.
He could not force her to stay but Third Elder Brother could still do it himself!
There was no underground level in the Public Security Bureau hence she could only go down to the first floor. Simultaneously, Third Elder Brother had also arrived at the first floor’s main hall. There was only one exit in the Public Security Bureau; Third Elder Brother must be able to capture her as long as he waited on the first floor.
Based on his Third Elder Brother’s capability, no one could possibly escape from his grasp.
