Chapter 45: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes
Huahua's palanquin was carried by men, and seeing Cai Shuwen admitted defeat, Yang Fei no longer made things difficult for him.
He smiled and said, "Actually, it's just a professional habit."
"I observe things much more carefully than the average person, Captain Cai, no need to be polite."
"Professional habit?"
Cai Shuwen's eyes lit up, keenly catching the implied meaning in those words.
He stared at Yang Fei and asked, "May I inquire what esteemed position Brother holds?"
Feng Cai'er's beautiful and heroic face flushed with excitement.
She watched Yang Fei make this group of self-important gentlemen admit defeat both in their hearts and with their words, filling her own heart with immense satisfaction.
Hearing Captain Cai ask this, the Little Police Flower immediately perked up her ears.
Yang Fei chuckled twice, glancing at Feng Cai'er both intentionally and unintentionally.
"I'm just an odd-job man at a hotel, nothing high or low about it, Captain Cai is giving me too much credit," he said.
Not far away, Zhang Shide was crouching sneakily under the bushes.
Upon hearing Yang Fei's words, he couldn't help but sigh.
Feng Cai'er stomped her foot and spat.
"Hehe, then, may I ask, Brother Yang, where should we start with the Wu Wei case?"
Cai Shuwen, the Old Fox, knew that Yang Fei did not wish to reveal personal information and did not expose him.
He cordially sought advice from Yang Fei instead.
Yang Fei coughed and said, "If I were Captain Cai, I would have the forensic investigator perform an autopsy right away."
"To confirm if the poison in Wu Wei was the 'S413' drug."
"Then, follow the drug's distribution channels to trace back to the source."
"I believe, Captain Cai and all the police comrades will definitely make some discoveries,"
He chuckled and glanced at Feng Cai with a grin, "As far as I know, the S413 drug is quite rare domestically."
"Even though its sales channels are secret, they're very singular. Here, I wish Captain Cai success and a speedy case resolution."
Cai Shuwen had an epiphany.
He thanked Yang Fei and immediately issued a string of orders.
The other police officers, looking at Yang Fei, also showed their utmost respect and admiration.
Yang Fei said his goodbyes to Cai Shuwen, who was busy and didn't hold him back.
He just eagerly invited Yang Fei again and again, if he found the time, to definitely visit the criminal investigation division office in District SC.
All police colleagues would treat him warmly.
The inspection of the scene had already finished.
Yang Fei had not yet walked out of the Pinghu Park gate when Feng Cai ran after him.
As she ran, she called out, "Wait, Yang Fei, wait for me."
Yang Fei stopped, turned around, with a mischievous smile curling up at the corner of his mouth.
He discreetly glanced at a certain voluminous part of Feng Cai.
Due to her running, that part of her appeared to harbor two large rabbits, quivering incessantly.
Feng Cai instinctively covered her chest, glared at him, and said, "What are you blindly looking at? Keep looking and I'll gouge out your eyeballs."
Yang Fei sighed, reluctantly turned away, and said, "No need to dig them out, can I just pop them out instead?"
"Really don't understand how there can be such dangerous..."
He muttered under his breath, though in a low voice, Feng Cai heard every word clearly.
The Little Police Flower was infuriated to the point of grinding her teeth, barely managing to hold herself back.
She followed behind Yang Fei, puffing with anger, and said, "Yang Fei, based on what you said, can this case be solved?"
"It can be solved, yes, but catching the real mastermind behind the scenes is probably impossible."
"The police will just arrest a few scapegoats casually and then they can close the case; anyway, you'll get credit for it."
Yang Fei spoke in a relaxed manner, a wild grass dangling from his lips, continuing his stride.
"Ah, why is it like this, can't the real culprit be caught?"
Feng Cai gasped in surprise and stopped in her tracks.
Yang Fei turned around, his eyes now carrying a hint of a sharp, sinister gleam.
He said indifferently, "The reason is simple, Feng Biao kidnapped Sister Xueyi on Wu Wei's instruction."
"After the incident, Wu Wei, not wanting to burn himself, had someone kill Feng Biao."
"But Wu Wei underestimated how dangerous Feng Biao was, he tried both poisoning and assassination, yet none were successful in killing Feng Biao."
"Feng Biao managed to escape to Lanting Hotel and exposed Wu Wei, and then Wu Wei died. What does this tell us?"
"Silence the witness!"
Feng Cai'er spat out four words, her expression became much graver.
"Exactly, whether it's the death of Feng Biao or Wu Wei, both were to silence them."
"Wu Wei probably never imagined that the person behind him would viciously turn against him."
As he spoke, he walked, with Feng Cai'er following behind him.
Only to hear Yang Fei say, "From this incident, we can see just how ruthless and cunning the guy behind Wu Wei is!"
"He could kill Wu Wei without hesitation, and had also planned all the fallbacks.
"Including the police's investigative approaches and steps; I guess he even has a scapegoat ready."
"Maybe the next step will be someone turning themselves in."
Feng Cai'er stared at Yang Fei in astonished silence: "My God, you're not human, you're a monster!"
"So, what did you mean by having the police follow the sales channel of the s413 poison?"
Yang Fei smiled faintly and shook his head.
He said earnestly, "No particular reason, Wu Wei indeed died from the s413 poison."
"And this poison is commonly used within the Assassin Group."
"I just wanted to use the police to smash this evil distribution network to prevent harm to more people"
"At the same time, I also wanted to issue a warning to the assassins active in our city and the person behind the scenes who ordered Wu Wei's murder."
His expression suddenly turned icy, and his eyes emitted a piercing sharpness.
"I have a premonition that the mastermind is targeting Sister Xueyi."
"I will have an encounter with him, and Wu Wei's death has just begun this game."
Feng Cai'er was terrified.
Her eyes involuntarily avoided the murderous look in Yang Fei's cold gaze.
"One last question, Yang Fei, what exactly did you do before?"
"I was a soldier, a pig-raising soldier."
"Get lost!"
...
Feng Cai'er drove Yang Fei back to Lanting Hotel.
Li Hong watched Feng Cai'er and Yang Fei walk into the hotel together, her mouth twitching into a meaningful smile.
Once Yang Fei finally managed to send Feng Cai'er off, Li Hong's gleaming eyes fixated on Yang Fei.
"Brother Fei, I really admire you, you effortlessly snagged a female business owner."
"Then with a flip of the hand, you've charmed a policewoman, too."
"Tsk tsk, you don't look like a rich man either?"
"Could I be mistaken, and you're actually an undercover wealthy young master out here experiencing life?"
Yang Fei laughed heartily, standing tall and proud: "Sister, you've hit the nail on the head."
"You know who I am? I am that 'King Sichong,' the national heartthrob adored by thousands of girls!"
As he said this, he turned sideways, stood tall and proud, looking self-assured.
His left hand snapped his fingers, and he cockily winked at Li Hong.
"Psh, don't bring my husband into this."
"King Sichong is my beloved, he has much better taste than you."
Li Hong spat, casting a glance at Yang Fei, a thought sparking in her mind.
"Seriously though, Brother Fei, you indeed have more charm than King Sichong."
"A man like you, just need a few hundred thousand in savings, and I would bite the bullet and stomp my foot, then I'd be yours."
"Psh, if I had hundreds of thousands, I'd rather go to a sauna center to find beauties."
"One a day, different styles, that could keep me entertained for over a decade."
"Psh, how shameless!"
...
Yang Fei and Li Hong were joking around on the first floor.
Just then, the cold voice of Su Yinxue came drifting down from the second floor.
"Yang Fei, have you no shame? Get up here, now! We need to talk!"
