Awakening the Daily Intelligence System

Chapter 542: 211, a suspect of crime?! No, it must be self-defense!_1

Upon hearing Lin Mo’s words, Bai Feng was initially stunned. He then caught on and couldn’t help but laugh as he said, “You really do have a way.”

“But it’s interesting how things turn out in this world, who would’ve thought that a nationally renowned interrogation expert would end his career in such a manner.”

“The world is topsy-turvy, it’s hard to say how many good people and bad people there are.”

Lin Mo walked beside him; the two proceeded one after the other, the officers nearby didn’t greet them but steered clear into the rooms beside them from a distance.

No one greeted them, nor did anyone dare to record with their phones.

As they walked, Lin Mo chuckled and said, “Director Bai, why the sudden philosophical musings?”

Bai Feng glanced at Lin Mo and said, “Because of you. When I first met you, you seemed like just an ordinary citizen, catching a corpse on your first fishing trip.”

“Chen Shanhe was also present at the time.”

“But the more I think about it, the more I feel that both Chen Shanhe and I might have been wrong about you; there must have been some reason you went to the riverside, right?”

The more Lin Mo did, the more unbelievable it became, and of course, Bai Feng’s thoughts were unconsciously changing.

Some events that were once deemed coincidences, now seem to hold another meaning upon reflection.

This strange sensation made Bai Feng unconsciously ponder some philosophical questions.

“That was truly a coincidence,” Lin Mo said with a smile. “If you’re going to doubt even that, why not go further back? Perhaps my helping your grandmother was also a deliberate arrangement of mine?”

“I even have a motive for you: to investigate Du Nanxue, and then to get her to offer me aid later on?”

“That sounds quite plausible.”

Every time someone mentioned Du Nanxue, Bai Feng’s expression would visibly tense and become unnatural.

But after learning that Du Nanxue was still alive, his state had improved a lot.

Regardless, it was good that she was alive.

Bai Feng had this confidence; no matter what tortures she might have endured, he was willing to spend the rest of his life soothing the wounds in her soul, making up for all past deficits.

Nothing was more important than this issue.

Moreover, Bai Feng had made up his mind; once he dealt with Lin Mo’s case, he would resign from his position as director and take Du Nanxue to travel, to appreciate the beautiful landscapes of Grand Xia.

“Who knows? I think you wouldn’t tell me the truth anyway, and I’ve realized that in front of you, I’m like a three-year-old child. There’s a popular saying online, ‘I feel intellectually crushed.’

Bai Feng changed the subject and asked in a lower voice, “Could you tell me about Du Nanxue’s situation, and when she’ll come to find me?”

“Honestly, I’m already eager to see her.”

“Compared to seeing her, nothing else is really that important to me anymore.”

By that time, they had left the case-handling area and were walking along the corridor outside towards the direction of the cafeteria.

The yard was empty, but outside, it was filled with onlookers and the staff maintaining order.

When they saw Lin Mo appear, countless flashlights flickered on in a moment.

“Lin Mo… we support you!”

“Justice will prevail!”

“Lin Mo, keep fighting! We believe that you have been wronged and trust that the law will give your family a just outcome.”

“Lin Mo!!!!”

“Lin Mo will prevail, justice will prevail!”

The crowd became rowdy, with all sorts of chants, but they were relatively restrained, not engaging in any illegal activities and just shouting out loudly where they stood.

It felt as if Lin Mo was at his own concert.

Seeing this, Bai Feng said with a laugh, “It looks like you’ve got quite a few fans. Want to say a few words to them?”

Lin Mo quickly caught on and, with a smile and a shake of his head, teased, “Director Bai, you’re not simple at all, huh? Letting us pass this way was just so I could make an appearance in front of them, right?”

Lin Mo really hadn’t considered this possibility before and was only now reacting a bit late.

“Always dealing with smart people like you is really tiring,” Bai Feng didn’t deny but continued in a lowered voice, “This wasn’t my idea, you know the specifics.”

“Besides, everyone has their own cases to work on; it’s up to us to maintain social order.”

“But now, everyone has been called in to maintain order, and that’s a lot of pressure on us.”

“If you don’t mind, talk to them a bit, tell them to go about their business; consider it a feather in your cap.”

Lin Mo joked, “Will it help my sentence?”

“Which one do you need?” Bai Feng glared at him.

Bai Feng was no fool, and by now, could clearly see that Lin Mo must have made thorough preparations before turning himself in.

He had something in his possession that Grand Xia coveted, which was why he was so brazen.

Moreover, for Lin Mo, a person usually so cautious to be so confident, it meant the chances of success were high.

In the end, he surely wouldn’t be convicted.

Not to mention from afar, Bai Feng had even heard the news of Johnson Hester coming to Grand Xia.

He had just assumed office when a not-so-friendly superpower made a visit; what else could it be for?

Other than Lin Mo, no other possibility came to mind.
