Chapter 40: Listening to Thoughts Can Also Solve Cases

"Miss Bai, or rather, Officer Bai, could you not put the handcuffs on me? I don't think I've done anything wrong."

Tang Yu approached her and greeted her with a smile, looking around.

Unfortunately, he didn't see Long Ya anywhere.

For scamming me out of the hotel! You deserve it!

Bai Wanyi shook her head to clear her thoughts and coldly put the handcuffs on Tang Yu.

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

She pointed to a nearby office.

Tonight, the interrogation room was already full, so they had to use an improvised office.

Tang Yu entered obediently.

Shortly after, Bai Wanyi entered with a cup of black coffee.

After taking a sip, the bitter taste awakened her a bit.

"Did you know what happened at the Mingyue Hotel today?"

She sat down and looked at Tang Yu as she asked.

"Yes, it's already in the news."

Tang Yu nodded.

"Well, as the former owner of the Mingyue Hotel, you are also a suspect. Let's start the interrogation."

Bai Wanyi took out a pen and prepared to take notes.

"But why am I a suspect?"

Tang Yu showed an innocent expression.

[You're the suspect!]

[My family is so rich; why would I bother doing something like this!]

[That email you received is really a favor I did for you?]

[Am I really going to report myself for a crime?]

After hearing Tang Yu's thoughts again, Bai Wanyi finally confirmed that she wasn't hallucinating.

Clearly, it was this guy's voice.

She frowned slightly.

With no time to worry about the ability to hear thoughts, she was more concerned about the email.

"Did he send me that email?"

She wasn't someone who liked to waste time, and with the Tang family's capital, she certainly didn't need to get involved in dirty matters.

"Alright, I acknowledge that the term 'suspect' may not be the most appropriate, but you still need to cooperate with our investigation."

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

"I don't know much. I bought the hotel some time ago to celebrate Su Muyue's birthday and sold it after that."

Tang Yu smiled and used Su Muyue as a shield.

[What I know I've already sent you, okay?]

[However, I actually sold the hotel because I found out that Tian Can and Di Que were causing trouble.]

[Under normal circumstances, I would have reported it directly, but Long Ya insisted on buying the hotel, and I couldn't do anything about it.]

[That bastard wanted to frame me, he killed people in my hotel, then made it look like a suicide, and then brought people in to cause trouble.]

[If I had found more clues, I would have reported him too.]

Bai Wanyi's body trembled slightly, and her eyes nearly exploded with anger.

"Long Ya?"

"The investigation I had worked so hard on regarding the murder case at the hotel turned out to be his conspiracy?"

When she went to arrest Long Ya, she already thought he was suspicious.

This guy had some calluses on his hands.

In her judgment, those were signs of years of training with firearms.

"Long Ya."

Bai Wanyi said through clenched teeth; as a police officer, she despised criminals like him.

But she was also a bit discontented with Tang Yu.

This guy knows so much and still keeps information to himself.

Fortunately, she could hear his thoughts.

[Why is she frowning? I haven't said anything wrong.]

[Could it be that she's jealous because I bought the hotel for Su Muyue's birthday? Right?]

[Well, it's not hard to understand; she's so busy with work that she's never had a relationship. It's natural for her to be jealous.]

[You can be jealous, but don't hurt me.]

[When you don't get what you want, you destroy it. I know women like you well.]

Seeing Bai Wanyi suddenly look so angry, Tang Yu murmured in his mind.

Bai Wanyi almost slapped Tang Yu.

"Do you think I want anything from you?"

She took a big sip of her black coffee to clear her head and looked at Tang Yu.

"Then I'd like to know, why did you suddenly sell the hotel to Long Ya at such a low price? That action is very suspicious."

"Money."

Tang Yu replied with a shameless smile.

[He brings people to cause trouble every day, so I can't even open the hotel.]

[If he keeps causing trouble, what will I do if he frames me again?]

[This guy, with his experience as a mercenary, lacks humanity.]

"Mercenary?"

Bai Wanyi's expression changed again.

She had already investigated Long Ya.

According to the information, Long Ya was a businessman abroad who returned to the country to invest.

As for the identity of a mercenary, she hadn't found that.

She quickly noted this key information. It was unmistakable; this clue matched her assumption.

"So, how much do you know about Long Ya?"

Bai Wanyi continued to ask.

"I don't know him, but Officer Bai, I don't feel that this guy is a good person. It seems like he has killed someone before."

"He was eager to buy my hotel, so I think he could be related to criminal organizations. You should investigate him thoroughly."

Tang Yu didn't hesitate to tarnish Long Ya's image.

[Of course I know everything about this kind of trash...]

[This man is a mad dog, who kills people and collects body parts from his victims.]

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

[I'll send you an email later; I almost forgot about this.]

Bai Wanyi quickly noted this key clue.

After obtaining so many clues, the case could finally be resolved.

She began to see Tang Yu in a better light, as he had truly been a great help.

But how did he know so much?

She asked some routine questions before putting away her pen.

"Alright, let's wrap it up for now. Thank you for your cooperation."

"It's no problem; my life is tough. It would be great if Officer Bai invited me to a barbecue dinner to make up for it."

Tang Yu shook the handcuffs on his hands and said with a smile.

"Alright, but it will be for another time; I'm busy right now."

Bai Wanyi took out the keys and freed Tang Yu from the handcuffs.

Her quick response surprised Tang Yu.

[What, does this woman really want to invite me to dinner?]

[It's better not to; don't be so polite, better not, I wouldn't dare to eat with you.]

[I know you're attracted to my good looks, but that might affect my ability to survive until the end.]

"???"

Bai Wanyi looked at Tang Yu in confusion.

Do you think I'm attracted to your good looks?

Humph, dream on!

She still had to deal with the case, so she didn't have time to worry about him.

As for her ability to hear his thoughts, she thought about leaving that for later.

First, I have to solve the Long Ya case!

Just when both were about to leave the office, the door swung open.

Ye Chen entered with a lawyer, looking somewhat upset.

Half an hour earlier, he had received the news that Long Ya had been arrested.

After investigating the case at the Mingyue Hotel, he had hurriedly come with his team.

Long Ya had been abroad for a long time and was not well-versed in national laws, but he did understand these matters.

In China, anything related to drugs could basically mean the restart of a life.
