Chapter 95: A Simple Girl

Zhou Lang's phone was very cheap, but the recording quality was quite good. The voice he had recorded earlier instantly and clearly rang out in the interrogation room.

"Who are you? Why are you here? Where did you take Li Mengxue?"

…

This was Li Zhigang's voice, because Zhou Lang had started recording as soon as he entered Li Zhigang's room.

"No wonder this kid Li Zhigang wanted to drug her; this babe on the bed is really hot. No wonder you wanted to play the hero saving the beauty. You must have already had a romp with her just now, right? It's a real pity such a fine babe was taken by you."

"Kid, listen up. This is Master Jiang, Jiang Zhengqiu, the owner of this five-star Lin Yin Ju Grand Hotel!"

"It seems you really are a greenhorn; you don't even know our Master Jiang. Master Jiang's father is the Deputy Director of the Municipal Organization Department! And you still want to call the police? The Chief of the Linwu District Police Sub-bureau calls Master Jiang his brother. Do you think calling the police will do any good?"

"Are you going to chop off a hand yourself, or should I have my men do it? You ruined my friend's good time, injured him, and showed disrespect to me and my father. Today, you are doomed!"

…

These were the voices of Jiang Zhengqiu and his subordinates.

"You've got a bit of vision, kid, knowing Boss Jiang's influence. To tell you the truth, our Linwu District Police Sub-bureau Chief and Boss Jiang are brothers, and Boss Jiang and Boss Li Zhigang are brothers. You're in big trouble. You'd better come to the police station with me obediently, or I'll kill you right now."

"You kid don't have eyes when you walk? Just wait until we get to the police station; I'll show you what's what."

…

This last part was the voice of Officer Wu, Wu Jianfeng.

Tang Fei wasn't familiar with the first two voices, but she was very familiar with this last part. In fact, she didn't even need a voice analysis to be certain it was Wu Jianfeng speaking.

Because Wu Jianfeng was her deputy and often worked with her, she was extremely familiar with his voice.

"It seems this case is a bit complicated. You were indeed framed, but you are suspected of using excessive force." Tang Fei snapped out of her shock and said to Zhou Lang, "Tell me, what exactly happened here?"

It was no wonder Tang Fei said Zhou Lang was suspected of using excessive force. She had been startled when he broke out of his handcuffs and shackles earlier. Since they were made of refined steel, it would be impossible to break them without thousands of pounds of force.

During her exchange with Zhou Lang, Tang Fei felt that not only was his strength astonishing, but his fighting skills were also peak-level. She believed it was simply impossible for Jiang Zhengqiu and his six subordinates to win against Zhou Lang. She had also seen the photos provided by Chief Wu Kai; in the photos, Jiang Zhengqiu's subordinates were in a miserable state, looking as if their limbs had all been twisted and broken.

Seeing that Tang Fei was no longer flying into a rage and was instead asking about the case, Zhou Lang felt slightly relieved. He then recounted what happened after he saw Li Mengxue being taken into the Lin Yin Ju Grand Hotel by Li Zhigang. Of course, he omitted the part about his intimacy with Li Mengxue.

"Can you guarantee you're not lying?" Tang Fei glared at Zhou Lang, her expression seemingly returning to that of a professional police officer.

"The recording is right here; this is the evidence. You'll know once you arrest Li Zhigang and Jiang Zhengqiu and question them," Zhou Lang said.

"Alright, I believe you. I'll take you out first and bring you to see our Chief. I'll have the Chief issue an order to arrest Li Zhigang and Jiang Zhengqiu. Once these two suspects are also arrested, the truth will come to light very quickly."

Tang Fei said, having made a bold decision.

"If you're going to release someone, then you must also release Young Miss Li Mengxue. Furthermore, that Officer Wu Jianfeng must be called over as well, because his relationship with this case is unusual."

Zhou Lang said, "You're a smart person; you should know there are definitely problems with your Chief's conduct. You might not be able to call the shots in this case."

"Chief Wu Kai is a good official, it's just that his nephew Wu Jianfeng is no good. I've never liked him. I think Chief Wu has been deceived by Wu Jianfeng. Once I explain the situation to him, I should be able to clear your name and punish Li Zhigang, Jiang Zhengqiu, and the others," Tang Fei said. "I'll arrange for someone to authenticate the recording right now and release Li Mengxue."

Immediately, she turned on a laptop on the interrogation table, took a data cable, connected Zhou Lang's phone, and copied the audio files from the phone onto her USB drive.

"You might be thinking too simply. Can I make a phone call?" Zhou Lang said after watching Tang Fei finish. "Wait for me outside; I'll be out in three minutes."

"You'd better not play any tricks," Tang Fei said, returning the phone to Zhou Lang.

"Li Mengxue and I are the victims; what tricks would I play? I already told Jiang Zhengqiu and Wu Jianfeng that I'm going to seek justice for today's events. I'm not only going to teach those two bastards a lesson, but I'm also going to teach certain people within your police System a lesson."

Zhou Lang said.

"I will help you get justice, but the matter of you taking liberties with me today isn't over. I'll give you three minutes; be a bit quicker!"

Tang Fei glared at Zhou Lang, then turned and left.

"This Tyrannosaurus Policewoman is a good person, but she's just too naive. I'm afraid I'll have to rely on myself to resolve today's matter."

Watching Tang Fei's retreating figure, Zhou Lang sighed and then dialed a number on his phone. He knew that Tang Fei probably wouldn't be able to help him escape tonight, so he had to make his own preparations.

…

In less than three minutes, Zhou Lang finished his call and left the interrogation room. He then went with Tang Fei toward the interrogation room where Li Mengxue was being held.

"Captain, you… why did you release this kid?"

Officer Xiao Zhong, the young male officer who had left earlier, was shocked to see Zhou Lang and Tang Fei walking out together.

He had thought Zhou Lang would definitely be beaten to a pulp by Tang Fei and then confess, but now it seemed Zhou Lang didn't have a single injury. To him, this was simply an unprecedented anomaly.

"Zhou Lang was framed. Come, go with me to the interrogation room where Li Mengxue is being held and release her," Tang Fei said. "This case needs to be reinvestigated and retried; it cannot be closed so hastily."

"This might not be a good idea. Have you forgotten what Chief Wu instructed?" Xiao Zhong said hesitantly. Although he was very afraid of Tang Fei, he was even more afraid of Wu Kai.

"Xiao Zhong, how can a police officer be so indecisive? I'm just taking Zhou Lang and Li Mengxue to see the Chief. I'll take responsibility for everything; what are you worried about?" Tang Fei snapped coldly. Obviously, she was very dissatisfied with what Xiao Zhong had said.

Xiao Zhong didn't say anything more. After a moment of hesitation, he walked ahead to lead the way.

Soon, the three arrived at the interrogation room where Li Mengxue was. A middle-aged police officer was standing outside, bored and playing with his phone.

"Open the door!"

As soon as Tang Fei walked over, she said to the officer.

"Captain, what are you doing?" the middle-aged officer asked in confusion as he put away his phone.

"Release her. Li Mengxue was framed; let her out immediately," Tang Fei said.

"But this was ordered by Deputy Captain Wu. He said to lock Li Mengxue up first. Without orders from him and the Chief, I wouldn't dare release her," the middle-aged officer said. "Captain, please don't make things difficult for me."
