"Tang Yu, oh no, Officer Bai, can you not put the handcuffs on me? I don't think I've done anything wrong."

Tang Yu walked up to her with a cheeky grin, his eyes darting around.

Unfortunately, he didn't see that bastard Longya.

Serves you right for messing with my brother's hotel! Damn it!

Bai Wanyi shook her head to clear her mind and coldly cuffed Tang Yu.

"Stop smiling, you're also a suspect. Go inside and wait for me."

She pointed to a nearby office.

The interrogation rooms were full tonight, so they had to make do with an office.

Tang Yu obediently walked in.

Soon, Bai Wanyi came in with a cup of black coffee.

She took a sip, the bitter taste waking her up considerably.

"Did you hear about what happened at the Bright Moon Hotel today?"

She sat down and looked at Tang Yu.

"Yes, it's all over the news."

Tang Yu nodded.

"Alright, as the former owner of the Bright Moon Hotel, you're also a suspect. Let's start the record."

Bai Wanyi picked up a pen, ready to take notes.

"Wait, how am I a suspect?"

Tang Yu looked innocent.

[Damn it, you're the suspect.]

[My family is so rich, why would I bother with this?]

[That email was sent by me, okay?]

[Why would I report myself for a crime?]

Hearing his inner thoughts again, Bai Wanyi was finally sure she wasn't hallucinating.

This was clearly that cheeky voice of his.

Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

Her beautiful brows furrowed slightly.

She couldn't afford to dwell on the fact that she could hear his thoughts.

She was more concerned about the email.

That email was sent by him?

She wasn't one to make unreasonable accusations. Given the Tang Family's wealth, they wouldn't need to get involved in such dirty business.

"Alright, I admit calling you a suspect might be a bit much, but you still need to cooperate with our investigation."

Bai Wanyi twirled the pen in her hand and stared at Tang Yu. "Do you know any clues about this case?"

"No, I bought the hotel a while ago just to celebrate Su Muyue's birthday. I sold it right after."

Tang Yu smiled and used Su Muyue as a shield.

[I already sent you everything I know, okay?]

[But I did sell the hotel because I found out those scumbags from Heaven's Deficiency and Earth's Flaw were up to something.]

[Normally, I'd report them directly, but Longya insisted on buying the hotel. I had no choice.]

[That bastard killed someone at my hotel, made it look like a suicide, and then caused a scene to frame me.]

[If I had any evidence, I'd report him too.]

Bai Wanyi's body trembled slightly, her eyes almost spitting fire.

Longya?

The hotel murder case she had been investigating so diligently was actually orchestrated by him?

When she went to arrest Longya today, she already felt something was off.

He had several calluses on his hands.

From her judgment, those were the marks of someone who had been handling guns for years!

"Longya, you bastard."

Bai Wanyi gritted her teeth. As a police officer, she hated criminals like him the most.

But she was also annoyed with Tang Yu in front of her.

This guy knew so much but kept it all to himself?

Good thing she could hear his thoughts.

[Why is this silly girl gritting her teeth? I didn't say anything wrong.]

[Could it be she's jealous that I celebrated Su Muyue's birthday?]

[Sigh, it's understandable. She's been so busy with work, she hasn't even dated. Jealousy is normal.]

[Just don't take it out on me, okay?]

[If you can't have it, destroy it. I know you women too well.]

Seeing Bai Wanyi suddenly looking murderous, Tang Yu muttered to himself.

Bai Wanyi almost slapped him.

Damn it, who wants you?

She took a big gulp of black coffee to wake herself up and stared at Tang Yu.

"Then I want to know, why did you suddenly sell the hotel to Longya at such a low price? This move is very suspicious."

"Because I have money and can do whatever I want."

Tang Yu smiled arrogantly.

[He kept causing trouble, my hotel couldn't operate properly.]

[If this continued, what if he framed me for another murder?]

[People like him, who used to be mercenaries, are inhumane.]

"Mercenaries?"

Bai Wanyi's face changed again.

She had already investigated Longya.

According to the information, Longya was an entrepreneur abroad, and he returned to China to invest.

As for his mercenary background, she hadn't found anything.

She quickly noted down this crucial information. It matched her suspicions perfectly.

"How much do you know about Longya?"

Bai Wanyi continued to ask.

"Not much, but Officer Bai, I feel this guy isn't a good person. He looks like he's killed someone."

"He was in such a hurry to buy my hotel, I suspect he might be connected to a criminal gang. You must investigate him thoroughly."

Tang Yu didn't hesitate to throw dirt on Longya.

[I don't know much about this scumbag.]

[He's just a lunatic who collects body parts of his victims after killing them.]

[Oh, I remember now, he might have hidden the hair of the woman he killed in his house.]

[I'll send you an email later, almost forgot about that.]

Bai Wanyi quickly noted down this crucial clue.

With all these clues, this case could finally be solved.

She looked at Tang Yu with a bit more appreciation. This guy had indeed been a great help.

But how did he know so much?

After asking a few more routine questions, she put away her pen, eager to investigate further.

"Alright, the investigation ends here. Thank you for your cooperation."

"No problem, it's tough. If Officer Bai could treat me to some barbecue as compensation, that would be great."

Tang Yu shook his handcuffed hands with a grin.

"Sure, but next time. I'm busy now."

Bai Wanyi took out the key and unlocked his handcuffs.

She agreed so readily that Tang Yu was a bit puzzled.

[Damn, is she really going to treat me to a meal?]

[Better not, don't be so polite. I don't dare to eat with you.]

[What if you're attracted to my handsome face? It would affect my low-profile life.]

"???"

Bai Wanyi looked at him in confusion.

I would be attracted to your handsome face?

Heh, spit!

She was too busy with the case to argue with him.

As for hearing his thoughts, she planned to figure it out later.

First, she had to deal with Longya!

Just as they were about to leave the office, the door was pushed open.

Ye Chen walked in with a lawyer, his face looking grim.

Half an hour ago, he suddenly received news that Longya had been arrested.

After looking into the Bright Moon Hotel case, he rushed over in a hurry.

Longya had been abroad for years and wasn't familiar with domestic laws, but Ye Chen knew them well.

In China, anything related to drugs could basically ruin your life.
