Dark Light Chaser.

Chapter 194 The irrefutable evidence
Key evidence?

When did new, crucial evidence emerge again?

Despite his doubts, Tian Hao still opened the door to the interrogation room.

As soon as Jin Ping'an entered, he rushed to Shi Hongfang, snatched the tablet, plugged in the USB drive given to him by the messenger, and projected the video on the USB drive onto the big screen.

Hu Yingshao was quite surprised by Jin Ping'an's sudden entrance.

However, in his estimation, the contents of the USB drive were at most some scandals, which were irrelevant to the case.

Jin Pingan skipped through a lot of the video, and then at some point, he pressed the pause button.

When Hu Yingshao turned his head to look at the big screen, his expression changed drastically for the first time.

The scene on the screen was frozen in the corridor of Wang Youcai Club, where Hu Yingshao himself was leering at a waiter covered in blood.

Hasn't this video already been cleaned up?

Hu Yingshao panicked.

This video should have been deleted long ago, and the only person in the know, Wang Sheng, is now just a skeleton.

How could anyone possibly know?

Hu Yingshao looked at Jin Ping'an with a questioning and surprised gaze.

Before he could speak, Shi Hongfang asked the question on his behalf: "Where did you get this video from?"

Jin Ping'an was cautious and didn't directly say that it was given by the messenger: "This is a video that Wang Sheng copied before."

This answer made Tian Hao instantly understand the reason behind the matter.

Just for copying some incriminating videos, he was silenced?

It's important to know that Wang Sheng was in charge of the club's security department.

This group of people, to put it nicely, are employees responsible for maintaining order at the club and occasionally acting as concierges.

To put it bluntly, they were a group of thugs who only obeyed Wang Youcai.

Could Wang Sheng, as the second-in-command of the armed forces, really lose his life in his own department for copying some videos?

Unless he saw something he shouldn't have seen.

Tian Hao wasn't the only one who figured this out; Hu Yingshao did too.

Upon hearing the name Wang Sheng, he immediately thought of Tao Jun, who was in charge of handling the matter.

Tao Jun was brought in by a messenger.

So, it goes without saying who gave Jin Ping'an this USB drive.

But Hu Yingshao dared not show any anger.

Because everyone here is a decent person, the key is compromise and concession, so that both sides can get a satisfactory result.

So, if you sue the criminal investigation team and offend Shih Hung-fang, the worst outcome is simply being imprisoned and saying goodbye to your freedom.

But if you really anger this unruly messenger, the best outcome is to eat and drink well and then say goodbye to the human world.

Faced with irrefutable evidence of murder.

Hu Yingshao gave Jin Ping'an a deep look, then turned to Shi Hongfang and said, "I admit it, I killed someone."

Faced with irrefutable evidence, Hu Yingshao finally confessed to the murder.

All the criminal investigation team members, both inside and outside the building, breathed a sigh of relief and secretly cheered in their hearts.

Everyone is watching Hu Yingshao.

No one noticed that Gao Bin had seen the video that Jin Pingan had sent in.

His expression turned very serious.

He quietly slipped his left hand into his pocket and slowly turned the ring on his hand with his thumb.

…………

With this evidence...

Hu Yingshao confessed to the murder of the waiter.

But when it comes to Wang Sheng's death and the victims of the kidnapping, Hu Yingshao reverts to his old ways, refusing to admit that he ordered others to do those things.

It seems that Hu Yingshao firmly believes that all evidence of his crimes has been handled very cleanly, and that even if the police investigate, they will never be able to trace it back to him.

We've asked almost everything we needed to ask, so there's no point in continuing this charade.

In any case, the evidence of Hu Yingshao's murder is there for all to see, and the police have sufficient reason to launch a full investigation into him.

When Tian Hao and Shi Hongfang came out of the interrogation room.

Liu Yuan looked at Tian Hao, who was talking to Jin Ping'an, and walked over to pat the two of them on the shoulder: "You've worked hard."

Tian Hao shook his head and forced a smile: "This is what I should do."

Upon hearing this, Jin Ping'an glanced at Hu Yingshao in the interrogation room, and his eyes immediately reddened.

The grievances I suffered over the past month have finally come to a satisfactory conclusion today.

After reassuring the two who had contributed the most, Liu Yuan turned her attention to Gao Bin.

He should have looked away, because what he saw startled him: "Prosecutor Gao! What's wrong with you?"

Gao Bin was now sweating profusely, his face was pale, and his left arm was trembling uncontrollably, as if he was enduring some intense pain.

Liu Yuan's shout instantly drew everyone's attention to Gao Bin.

"It's nothing, just an old problem acting up again."

Gao Bin pushed away Liu Yuan, who came to help him, took out a medicine bottle from his pocket, and ate two gummy candies.

Not long after taking the medicine, Gao Bin's complexion improved significantly. No one knew what kind of medicine it was that was so effective.

However, seeing that the prosecutor was alright, they didn't ask any further questions.

What if it's some kind of hidden illness that's inconvenient to talk about? Asking about it in front of everyone would just be deliberately embarrassing for them.

When most of the others had left, Gao Bin called Shi Hongfang and Liu Yuan aside.

"We'll take Hu Yingshao directly to the detention center later. During his detention, he will not be allowed to visit or interrogate anyone. No one, including the police who bring him food, is allowed to have any form of communication with Hu Yingshao."

Gao Bin's words stunned the two of them.

I understand why visits are prohibited, given the regulations.

But what does it mean that even interrogation and communication are not allowed?
Liu Yuan thought Gao Bin was unfamiliar with the interrogation procedures of the criminal police team: "Prosecutor Gao, during his detention, we still need to interrogate Hu Yingshao..."

The aftershocks of his extrasensory perception had not yet subsided. Gao Bin frowned and endured the excruciating pain as he pulled out the identification Xia Qiyuan had prepared for him from his bag: "This is not a request, but an order from the prosecutor."

Shi Hongfang and Liu Yuan looked at each other, unable to understand why Gao Bin would pull such a stunt when the case was about to be solved.

Stealing credit?
For a senior prosecutor from the Asian Union to compete for credit with a local criminal investigation team is like an emperor competing with a beggar for a steamed bun.

It's complete nonsense.

"You don't need to worry about the follow-up issues of the case. My partner will be back soon, and the Internal Affairs Department will take over the case."

The case results will be sent to you directly at that time; of course, the credit will still go to you.

Gao Bin, after all, had encountered a similar situation in Nevada City before and had prior experience with it.

I have only a vague understanding of the handover process between the subordinate units of the Countermeasures Bureau and the criminal police force.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs and such are just pretexts. The Countermeasures Bureau simply needs to use the Ministry of Internal Affairs to transfer people to its own Countermeasures Section 3.

This process is essentially a cover-up.

Why does it have to be the Ministry of the Interior?
Because they can quickly get people involved in strange incidents out of the hands of other departments.

The relationship between the Ministry of the Interior and public institutions is like that between a discipline director and a student, or a construction site supervisor and a worker; few organizations dare to challenge it.

As for the dissatisfaction of the department involved.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs is the one asking you for the people; what does that have to do with my Third Countermeasures Section?

Shi Hongfang and Liu Yuan exchanged a glance, preparing to obediently lock the person up in the detention center and await the handover.

They did not express any dissatisfaction with Gao Bin's actions, nor did they worry that it was also a conspiracy by Hu Yingshao.

It's impossible that Hu Yingshao has such extensive connections that he has extended his network to the highest levels of the Asia Union.

Although Shi Hongfang and his companion were still very curious about why Gao Bin did this, they were quite clear about what questions they should and shouldn't ask.

After leaving the criminal investigation team, Gao Bin returned to the hotel where he had stayed.

He took out his private jet and dialed Xia Qiyuan's phone number.

The call was answered quickly: "I've almost finished dealing with things here, and I should be back in three days."

"But it's quite unusual that you'd actually call me first. What, you're not slacking off anymore?"

Gao Bin rolled his eyes: "If I didn't have any tasks assigned to me by my superiors, I would rather you never come back."

"Have you found any clues about the disciples?"

The next moment, Xia Qiyuan's tone became serious.

From Gao Bin's words alone, Xia Qiyuan could deduce what he was going to say next.

"Yes, it was an unexpected discovery. After being in Chika for so long, I've finally found a mask."

Gao Bin said weakly, "I've already used my extrasensory perception to look at his memories, but not much. I can only confirm that he has a connection with the disciples."

Xia Qiyuan paused for a moment, then the call was completely cut off; he was probably discussing something with someone else.

He quickly picked up his phone again and said, "I'll see if I can take a different flight back tomorrow night. If not, then the day after tomorrow morning."

"Hey, you don't want the car anymore?" Gao Bin asked.

"Just have someone ship it over later."

Xia Qiyuan replied, "Anything else? If not, I'll hang up now."

"Yes, there's no need to rush back. I've already locked the mask and forbidden anyone from touching it."

Gao Bin thought for a moment and said, "You should focus on resolving the Nevada issue first. Don't wait until something goes wrong and you're constantly running back and forth between the two cities."

"I think you're worried that once I'm back, you won't be able to slack off anymore, right?"

Xia Qiyuan mercilessly exposed Gao Bin's little scheme.

"Hey, this isn't called slacking off!"

Gao Bin couldn't help but retort, "This is about making full use of fragmented time for rest in order to improve work efficiency in the next stage."

"Ha, it's still just slacking off."

…………

The day passed quickly.

This was Hu Yingshao's second night in custody.

Even if he cleans up all the evidence related to the kidnapping case, he can't escape the charges of killing the club employee and money laundering.

Hu Yingshao, however, acted as if nothing had happened, sitting on the bed in the special single cell of the detention center, flipping through a book, showing no concern whatsoever for the legal punishment that was about to be imposed upon him.

His composure stemmed from the fact that he still had a trump card up his sleeve.

Hu Yingshao believed that the official would soon be able to get him out of trouble and then give him a new identity and a fresh start.

Despite making two minor mistakes in my task.

Overall, however, it performed perfectly.

All you need to do is wait quietly for that great person's notification, and you can be freed from your mortal status and become a member of a great race.

Hu Yingshao was envisioning a bright future while flipping through the books he had brought in.

As for the contents of the book, he didn't absorb any of it.

pat.

Suddenly, a sound similar to water droplets hitting the ground rang out inside the detention center.

At first, Hu Yingshao thought it was something like an outdoor water dispenser.

As the sound drew closer, he began to sense that something was amiss.

A familiar aura began to slowly approach.

Hu Yingshao was stunned for a moment, then his eyes flashed with intense desire.

He suppressed the urge to rush towards the iron bars, because there were surveillance cameras everywhere, and he couldn't do anything unusual.

Hu Yingshao closed the book, yawned, and pretended to be going to sleep before turning off the light.

A drop of wet liquid climbed up his neck.

"Lord Janus!"

Hu Yingshao excitedly whispered, "I have completed the task you assigned me. When can I become a member of your tribe?"

The black liquid moved behind Hu Yingshao's ear and simulated sound through vibration.

"Yes, you've had a tough three months, especially the last month."

The black liquid paused slightly at this point: "Although it's very difficult, it's also quite fun to solve puzzles."

Your affirmation is my greatest reward!

Hu Yingshao quickly offered a compliment.

"You did a really good job."

The black liquid praised Hu Yingshao again.

However, things can take unexpected turns.

"But, a month ago, who gave you permission to instruct Tao Jun on your own?"

The black liquid's tone gradually rose, emitting a sound like that of a hellish demon.

Hu Yingshao's smile froze instantly; the terrifying tone made him tremble all over.

He explained, trembling, "I'm sorry! I just wanted to make it more realistic..."

"So you had someone smash that place up? You've got some nerve, Hu Yingshao."

"I'm so sorry!!! I took it upon myself to do this!"

Hu Yingshao completely lost the aura he had when confronting Tian Hao and others in the interrogation room.

He was curled up in bed like a child who had just watched a horror movie and was too afraid to stick any part of his body out of the covers.

“I absolutely hate subordinates who act on their own initiative without permission.”

Hu Yingshao kept apologizing in a low voice: "I'm sorry!!! I'm sorry!!! Please give me another chance... Ugh..."

He was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly realized he couldn't breathe.

Hu Yingshao struggled to reach for the emergency call button by the bedside. The distance of less than a meter seemed like an insurmountable chasm at that moment.

Five seconds passed, ten seconds passed...

Hu Yingshao ultimately failed to access the emergency call button.

He could only watch in despair with his bloodshot eyes as the black liquid that was supposed to shed his mortal body merged into the ground.

In a daze, he heard someone's advice echo in his ears.

'Humans shouldn't try to please gods and demons. They might transform you in a moment of good mood, or they might plunge you into a hell of despair in a moment of bad mood. Once you lose your value, or when they get tired of you, you'll be thrown into the trash heap like a rag doll.'

Hu Yingshao died in the detention center, filled with remorse.

He died silently, just like those he had dealt with before.
