Dark Light Chaser.

Chapter 192 Say hello
With Gao Bin's command.

All field officers of the criminal investigation team were mobilized.

More than a month of hard work has finally paid off.

Jin Ping'an sat in the car, extremely excited.

Tian Hao originally intended for him to stay in the detachment and wait for them to return.

Jin Ping'an insisted on watching Hu Yingshao being arrested with his own eyes, and Tian Hao couldn't persuade him otherwise, so he had no choice but to bring him and Cheng Lejia along.

Cheng Lejia felt utterly helpless as Jin Ping'an forcibly dragged him into the car.

"Uncle Tian, ​​I shouldn't be considered a member of the criminal investigation team, right... Is it alright if I come along like this?"

That's right. Although Cheng Lejia helped a lot in many ways, he was not a member of the criminal investigation team.

His stance has always been that of Jin Ping'an's best friend, and that has never changed.

“We’re all old acquaintances, no one will care about this kind of thing. Besides, you’re considered a person involved in the case, so it’s not a big problem for you to go along.”

Tian Hao, who was driving, gestured to Cheng Lejia not to worry.

"OK then."

Cheng Lejia sighed. His original intention was to wait for everyone to return at the detachment. Now that things had come to this, it was impossible for Tian Hao to specially turn around and send him back.

The group marched in a grand procession toward the hotel.

Tian Hao and Jin Ping'an, acting as the guides, were the first to stop the car in front of the hotel.

When the receptionist at the entrance saw this row of cars with civil servant license plates, he assumed that some leader was coming for a dinner party.

He immediately greeted her with a big smile: "Hello, car keys..."

"Police officer, please cooperate."

When the person who came to help him park the car came over, Tian Hao didn't waste any words and immediately took out his ID.

After exchanging greetings, Tian Hao led a group of people in a grand procession toward the private room where Hu Yingshao was.

Jin Pingan and Cheng Lejia did not follow, but stayed at the hotel entrance with Gao Bin.

One reason was that Tian Hao wouldn't allow it, and the other was simply laziness.

Gao Bin, exuding an aura that kept strangers at bay, got out of the car and walked over.

"Advisor Kim, what about the informant you mentioned?"

He came over to strike up a conversation, mainly because Jin Ping'an kept glancing in his direction from time to time.

The piercing gaze made Gao Bin very uncomfortable, and he couldn't even relax while fishing.

"He is only responsible for providing intelligence; he is not here in person."

Jin Ping'an chuckled, downplaying the seriousness of the matter: "However, rest assured, his intelligence is absolutely accurate!"

"Oh, what's this informant's name?" Gao Bin asked casually, standing next to Jin Ping'an.

"He He……"

Jin Ping'an's brain raced as he tried to come up with a new title for the messenger, but he was worried that Gao Bin would have to verify it later.

I was in a dilemma for a while.

"Is it inconvenient to say?"

"His name is Messenger."

Jin Ping'an hesitated for a long time before finally revealing the title of messenger.

He believed he couldn't fool the High Prosecutor, who possessed superhuman observational skills, if he were to lie.

If the other party realizes they are lying, suspects something is amiss, and takes the initiative to investigate the informant, then things could get very bad.

Rather than letting him investigate on his own, it's better for him to tell us himself.

Jin Ping'an was prepared for Gao Bin's sudden change of expression.

After all, a few years ago, the messenger had torn the mask off the Asian Union and trampled on it.

Gao Bin, on the other hand, is a senior prosecutor at Asia Union.

"Oh," Gao Bin nodded in response, and then said nothing more.

There was absolutely no dramatic change in expression on his face as Jin Ping'an had imagined.

Jin Ping'an felt extremely uneasy when faced with Gao Bin's indifference upon hearing the title "messenger."

As the saying goes, a dog that bites doesn't bark.

Could it be that this Supreme Prosecutor intends to...?

Thinking of this, Jin Ping'an couldn't help but probe Gao Bin's opinion on the messenger: "As a prosecutor, don't you have anything to say about the messenger?"

"I used to live in the capital and rarely traveled to other places, so I don't know much about the messenger you mentioned," Gao Bin said casually, though he was actually panicking inside.

A messenger? Who is he? Is he well-known in prosecutor circles?

He had only heard Shi Feng mention the title once or twice before, and knew nothing about the messenger.

Gao Bin's excuse caught Jin Ping'an off guard: "But apart from Nevada, the title of 'messenger' should be most famous in the capital, right..."

The people in the capital region reacted the most strongly to what the messenger did back then.

Ten years ago, the messenger received the first medal of honor awarded since the establishment of the Asia Union Bounty Hunter system right there.

Before Jin Ping'an could finish speaking, Gao Bin's expression instantly turned serious.

Is this messenger famous? Does every prosecutor know him? Am I giving myself away?

Gao Bin is now in a panic.

Gao Bin is someone who grew up in a laboratory, participating in various experiments and assisting in solving all sorts of bizarre events.

Until the last two years, he had not had much contact with society.

You could say they are detached from worldly affairs in some sense.

Gao Bin had never seen these strange people and events, nor did he want to know about them.

Even when Shi Feng brought it up in casual conversation, he would just let it go in one ear and out the other.

After all, he's just a salted fish.

“I used to work in a special department and rarely paid attention to these kinds of things. I only recently took over the job of a prosecutor,” Gao Bin explained with a stern face.

He was trying to use this method to make Jin Ping'an stop and stop asking questions.

"That's it."

Jin Ping'an breathed a sigh of relief, ignoring Gao Bin's expression, and asked curiously, "Prosecutor Gao, how did you figure out so much when you interrogated Tao Jun last time? Can you teach me some interrogation techniques?"

What interrogation techniques? I saw those directly with my extrasensory perception. I can't even interrogate people myself!

"This requires special training and cannot be explained in a short time."

Gao Bin was inwardly groaning and kept praying that Tian Hao and the others would come down quickly.

Those leaders knew their limits and never interfered in his affairs, making it easy for him to pretend.

When you encounter a knowledge gap and don't know what to say, just stare at them with a straight face, and they'll change the subject in less than five seconds.

But Jin Ping'an is not good at reading between the lines. If he keeps asking questions, he might just give himself away.

Gao Bin deeply regretted getting out of the car.

………………

Inside the private room, Hu Yingshao picked up a piece of sea bream sashimi, dipped it in the sauce, and put it in his mouth.

Before he could savor the taste, Shi Hongfang led his men in.

The caregivers and bodyguards around Hu Yingshao subconsciously stood up.

Hu Yingshao slowly swallowed the delicious food in his mouth: "It's just a guest, why are you so excited? Sit down."

The two glanced at the fully armed criminal police team, then at Hu Yingshao, who looked calm, and slowly sat down.

Shi Hongfang glanced at the seafood feast on the table and said, "Mr. Hu is so old, isn't he worried about his health if he eats seafood every day?"

"At our age, we should eat more while we still have time."

Hu Yingshao put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth: "Hongfang, is today your team's get-together? But with so many people here, even if you pay out of your own pocket, it might still affect the team's reputation if word gets out."

"I'd prefer you to call me Captain Shi."

Shi Hongfang said coldly, "You only taught me calligraphy for a short time. Our relationship isn't that good."

"Yes, yes, Captain Shi."

Hu Yingshao smiled and then instructed his bodyguard: "Go and have the waiter prepare two more private rooms."

Shi Hongfang gave Tian Hao a wink, and the latter immediately pulled out a pistol: "Eating too much seafood is bad for your health. Mr. Hu, why don't you come with me for a cup of tea first?"

As Tian Hao spoke, he released the safety of his pistol and pointed the muzzle at the bodyguard.

Hu Yingshao raised an eyelid: "Hey, let's talk this out, don't always resort to knives and guns."

Tian Hao ignored Hu Yingshao and silently placed his finger on the trigger.

Hu Yingshao slowly stood up, just as everyone thought he was about to cooperate.

The elderly man, who was over sixty years old, suddenly put his hand on the muzzle of Tian Hao's gun, turning the gun that was originally pointing at the bodyguard towards himself.

Hu Yingshao's action was not the kind of sudden, unexpected grab of the gun barrel.

Instead, he slowly placed his hand on the gun and then turned it towards himself.

If I had to put it in words, it's like transforming into a high-frequency warrior, going from 60fps to 120fps.

Everyone can see it clearly, but the brain can't process it.

Hu Yingshao wore a kind smile: "I'll go with you. There's no need to make things difficult for my bodyguard. He's young; what if something goes wrong..."

As he spoke, he took another step forward, using his body to shield the pistol.

He even deliberately pointed the pistol at his own heart.

Tian Hao didn't dare to make any big moves for a moment, otherwise it would be troublesome if things really went wrong.

There were only three people on Hu Yingshao's side, and they were the ones who were about to be arrested.

In terms of sheer presence, he alone was no less imposing than Tian Hao and his entire team.

This act of deliberately pointing a gun at oneself, disregarding life and death, is indeed very intimidating.

"Don't worry, Mr. Hu, I never point my gun at good people."

Tian Hao switched off the safety and pulled the pistol from Hu Yingshao's hand: "We have some questions for you regarding the kidnapping case."

Hu Yingshao nodded and took out his phone: "Then I'll contact my lawyer..."

Before he could finish speaking, Hu Yingshao's phone was snatched away by Tian Hao: "Mr. Hu, there's no need to be in such a hurry. We just need to ask you about the situation. We haven't said you're a criminal suspect yet."

After taking Hu Yingshao's phone, Tian Hao handed it directly to Shi Hongfang.

Tian Hao knew very well that he didn't have the guts to ask Shi Hongfang for his phone back.

"Alright, I'll go with you."

Seeing the phone handed to Shi Hongfang, Hu Yingshao decisively gave up and said in a seemingly generous manner.

………………

Hotel entrance.

Even though Gao Bin created a cool and aloof image, it couldn't change his lazy and unambitious nature.

At first, Jin Pingan was somewhat hesitant, but when he discovered that the High Prosecutor would not be angry or dissatisfied with it, he was surprised.

He was like he'd been injected with adrenaline, constantly asking Gao Bin all sorts of questions.

He talked about his case-handling experience over the years, and then probed about Gao Bin's previous job.

Gao Bin was already annoyed by Jin Ping'an, so he only answered his questions with "uh-huh" and kept giving him meaningful glances to shut up.

Who is Jin Ping'an?
A hothead, a stubborn brat, the guy who single-handedly dragged down the average emotional intelligence score of the entire criminal investigation team.

He can keep talking to you as long as you don't explicitly refuse.

Just as Gao Bin was about to lose his temper, Tian Hao and his group finally appeared at the hotel entrance with Shi Hongfang.

Cheng Lejia patted Jin Ping'an on the shoulder: "Ping'an, we've caught the person."

Jin Ping'an immediately shut up and changed his expression, looking at Hu Yingshao with great disgust.

The latter, meanwhile, turned their attention to them.

For a fleeting moment, even when facing arrest and having a gun pointed at him, Hu Yingshao, who remained as steady as a mountain, showed a hint of surprise on his face.

He quickly suppressed his emotions and pretended to be nonchalant.

Hu Yingshao pointed in Jin Ping'an's direction: "Captain Shi, I have something I want to say to him."

Tian Hao gripped Hu Yingshao's shoulder to prevent him from making any sudden movements: "You can say whatever you want in the interrogation room later."

"That's it."

Hu Yingshao sighed: "I'm getting old, and there are some things I can't say now. I'm afraid I might forget them once I'm in the interrogation room."

Tian Hao frowned at Hu Yingshao's pointed reply.

It was obvious that the old man was threatening him.

Tian Hao turned his gaze to Shi Hongfang, after all, he was the actual commander of this operation, and he could not overstep his authority.

"You only have five minutes."

After saying that, Shi Hongfang ordered Tian Hao, "Take him there."

With Shi Hongfang's order, Tian Hao pushed Hu Yingshao aside and walked toward Jin Ping'an and the others.

As Hu Yingshao approached, Jin Ping'an subconsciously clenched his fists.

It was as if he would deliver a rising dragon punch to Hu Yingshao as soon as he walked up to him.

Ten meters, nine meters, eight meters...

Hu Yingshao stood about two meters away from Jin Pingan and the others.

"Jin Ping An... this should be our first meeting, right?"

Hu Yingshao said with a smile.

"What is it?" Jin Ping'an growled with a gloomy face.

The suffering he endured over the past month was entirely due to Hu Yingshao, including three assassination attempts.

Whether from the perspective of the victim or from his own, Jin Ping'an would not give Hu Yingshao a friendly look.

"It's nothing, I just came to say hello."

Hu Yingshao smiled and slowly extended his aged right hand.

To Jin Ping'an, this action was full of mockery.

"A beast in human form, a hypocrite in human clothing, an old codger who never dies."

Jin Pingan cursed Hu Yingshao in his heart to suppress the urge to beat him up.

As for a handshake?

He decided to forget it, worried that he might lose his temper and break off the old man's finger.

"I was abrupt."

Seeing that Jin Ping'an ignored him, Hu Yingshao slowly withdrew his right hand: "There's plenty of time in the future, please continue to guide me."

Hu Yingshao turned and walked towards the armored vehicle, as if he really was just there to say hello to Jin Ping'an.

Now that the person has been caught, Jin Ping'an plans to get back into the car and return to his unit.

At that moment, his phone received a text message from a messenger.

'Come to the parking lot.'

"Wait for me! I'll be right back!"

Jin Ping'an took off running towards the hotel parking lot.
