Chapter 1296: News of Elder You

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

Police Officer Zhang said, “This videotape should be ripped, but the content inside was proven to be real after technical appraisal.”

“There is only me on the videotape?” Yang Ming felt incredulous. When he left, Sui Yuejin was still alive. Soon after Yang Ming left, he was shot to death. That meant the murderer entered the Sui’s Group Building after Yang Ming, but only Yang Ming was there on the videotape. This explained that the video had been edited.

As for whether this videotape was intentionally or unintentionally left on the roadside, the answer was obvious. Someone must be trying to frame him. This kind of method was not uncommon.

Even Yang Ming could guess who was trying to frame himself because this method was too familiar, just like previously with Wang Zhitao. If Yang Ming was not wrong, the behind-the-scenes boss should be the one who did this, and Huang Youcai was the tactician.

Only this guy could come up with such a bad idea. His biggest enemy was the behind-the-scenes boss all this while. Huang Youcai, who mingled with him, would eventually help him.

“Yes…” Captain Zhang smiled bitterly. He also thought about what Yang Ming thought. “In the beginning, we felt that this videotape was suspicious. Now, it seems that it is already certain that someone deliberately released this videotape to misdirect us. Of course, these people should not know Mr. Yang’s identity. Otherwise, this wouldn’t be a bad move. They had set themselves up.”

“This is not to misdirect you, but someone wants to frame me.” Yang Ming shrugged; he didn’t have to hide anything from Police Officer Zhang. “It may be that I accidentally offended a certain force or organization. This organization or individual has been targeting me for all this time, and there were various kinds of methods.”

“Oh?” Police Officer Zhang was stunned. He didn’t expect it to be like this, but Yang Ming’s work was very special, so it was very possible for him to offend someone usually. Therefore, he nodded. “Mr. Yang’s work is really tough; it’s more dangerous than us, and you will even offend some of the more powerful forces.”

Yang Ming wanted to let Police Officer Zhang think this, so he didn’t deny it. He smiled bitterly and said, “Yeah, but it can’t be helped. You can’t do anything if you’re afraid.”

“However, Mr. Yang said that this incident is targeting you, so what do these people want to do? How did they target you?” Police Officer Zhang did not understand their intentions that Yang Ming pointed out.

“I don’t know exactly what their plan is, but it’s nothing more than having you arrest me.” Yang Ming could roughly guess the behind-the-scenes boss’ thought.

“Arrest? Will we be fooled so easily? Although we will treat you as a suspect, we will not convict you arbitrarily.” Police Officer Zhang smiled awkwardly. “We looked for you just to investigate the situation. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be so polite; we would have taken coercive measures.”

“I know.” Yang Ming nodded with a smile.

“However, even if we arrested you, you will most likely be kept in the detention center as a suspect. What good is it for them?” Police Officer Zhang was still very puzzled. What does Yang Ming’s nemesis want?

“This is already enough.” Yang Ming said, “They may be thinking about making some dirty moves in the detention center. It isn’t difficult for them to bribe one or two people. By that time, they might ask the prisoners to beat me up or poison me; it’s tough to defend against.”

Yang Ming had seen the behind-the-scenes boss’ methods. Even the entire Sun’s Group could rebel under his means of buying them over, what else couldn’t happen?

Police Officer Zhang took a sigh of relief after listening to Yang Ming’s words! What Yang Ming said was true. If Yang Ming really died in the detention center at that time, then Police Officer Zhang’s responsibility would be great! Let’s not talk about Yang Ming’s identity. Even if Yang Ming was an ordinary citizen, it was enough for him to be blamed due to the power of public opinion.

What’s more, Yang Ming was the person in that “area.” If something really happened to Yang Ming, never mind whether Police Officer Zhang would have a future. It was hard to say whether he would be held accountable.

“This is indeed our mistake. This videotape seems suspicious. I will investigate as soon as I go back.” Police Officer Zhang said quickly, “However, it seems that this case is difficult to solve.”

Yang Ming could only smile bitterly when he heard Police Officer Zhang. “If they were the culprits, I don’t even know who they are now. How can you…”

“Yeah, if Mr. Yang has time, it is best to give prior notice to our leaders to forward this case to your department. Then, I will have no pressure.” Police Officer Zhang looked at Yang Ming sincerely. He had no confidence in solving the case after knowing the truth.

“I have to ask my superiors.” Yang Ming couldn’t make decisions on his own. After all, it involved a lot of things.

“Alright, Mr. Yang, can you please ask now?” Police Officer Zhang was anxious. After all, it would be easier if the case could be handed over to the Supernatural Investigation Bureau.

“Now?” Yang Ming was helpless, then he nodded and said, “Okay, then I will call now.”

“Should I get out of the car?” Police Officer Zhang asked quickly.

“Forget it; it’s fine. I may even have to introduce you. After all, I don’t know much about the case.” Yang Ming waved his hand to indicate that Police Officer Zhang didn’t have to get off.

Police Officer Zhang nodded delightedly. Yang Ming did not hide from him which meant that Yang Ming really wanted to help him. Yang Ming treated him as an ally and wouldn’t harm him.

Yang Ming dialed Xia Bingbao’s phone directly. The phone was picked up after ringing twice. “Yang Ming? Is that you?”

“Brother Xia, it is me.” Yang Ming said, “Did I bother your rest?”

“What rest? How can I have time to rest? What do you want? I have been looking for you all this time, but my phone calls couldn’t get through. I thought you disappeared!” Xia Bingbao was apparently complaining to Yang Ming. “I’m looking for you for something too!”

“What?” Yang Ming was stunned. He did turn off his phone when he went out a while ago; he didn’t expect Xia Bingbao to look for him. “I went back to Song Jiang. Xia Xue should know about it. Didn’t you ask her?”

“No.” Xia Bingbao thought, Is this kid having something with Xia Xue? How did Xia Xue know he went back to Song Jiang? However, he was embarrassed to ask.

“I helped her catch a wanted criminal. She didn’t tell you?” Yang Ming was baffled. Logically, Xia Xue would tell this to her brother.

“No. Not bad. You had given another merit to my sister?” Obviously, Xia Bingbao was very happy listening to Yang Ming’s words.

“You should also know that merit is useless for me, so I might as well give it to your sister.” Yang Ming smiled and said, “How do you want to thank me?”

“Thank your head. I’ve been going crazy looking for you.” Xia Bingbao said, “Is it convenient for you to talk over there?”

“Just say it. My phone is soundproof; others can’t hear it.” Yang Ming glanced at Police Officer Zhang, then Police Officer Zhang consciously moved his body to the side, fearing that he would hear Yang Ming’s phone call.

“I have news of Elder You on my side.” Xia Bingbao said, “Do you still remember Elder You?”

“Bullsh*t. Do you think I have amnesia?” Yang Ming was a little dumbfounded. How could he not remember such an important person? “What news? Tell me!”

“According to internal sources, Elder You seems to be appearing in Yunnan,” said Xia Bingbao.

“How come? Someone saw him? No one seems to have seen his appearance, right?” asked Yang Ming.

“No. Two bodies were found in Yunnan. The deaths were exactly the same as those found in Song Jiang. They should have been sucked up by Elder You.” Xia Bingbao said with dignity.

“Oh? That’s probably possible. That is his hometown. If he runs away, he will definitely run there.” Yang Ming nodded. “But even if we found his movements, it is tough to catch him. It’s his territory over there; he is very familiar with it.”

“But, you still have to find him even if it’s hard. I’m thinking of sending you to Yunnan. Do you have the confidence to complete the mission?” asked Xia Bingbao.

“D*mn, brother, can you not play with me? You’re asking me to go? Wouldn’t I be cannon fodder?” Yang Ming was shocked; he did not expect Xia Bingbao to make this request.

“We unanimously agreed on it after discussing it. We will let you lead the team to arrest Elder You. I will send you a few assistants at the time, but not now. We still have to prepare for this plan for some time.” Xia Bingbao said, “I’m just letting you be prepared by telling you in advance.”

“There’s no choice?” Yang Ming saw Xia Bingbao’s resoluteness in his speech and knew that he couldn’t refuse it. This phone call is really made at the wrong time. I really regret it. If I called later, maybe Xia Bingbao will find another person if he can’t find me, but now, I am afraid I can’t get rid of it.

“What do you want to choose? We think that you can do it; do you still need to choose?” Xia Bingbao smiled and said, “What do you want from me?”

Yang Ming was a little depressed, but since Xia Bingbao had decided, he had no option. “Well, let’s put it aside first. I will think about it. I have a similar thing to look for you.”

“Similar thing? What is that?” Xia Bingbao was baffled and asked. Yang Ming said, “I have news of Elder You’s collaborator.”

“Elder You’s collaborator? What do you mean?” asked Xia Bingbao.

“Elder You’s expenses in Song Jiang should be provided by a behind-the-scenes boss, and this behind-the-scenes boss is in a cooperative relationship with him. I am talking about the news of this behind-the-scenes boss,” said Yang Ming.

“Oh?” Xia Bingbao frowned, then he said, “Are you sure?”

“I will tell you on another day the specific details, but I am eighty percent sure that both of them are a group, or they had worked together.” Yang Ming said, “Now, I will let the Mount Jing Criminal Investigation Team Captain Zhang introduce you the case, and then I will tell you the rest later.”

“Are you with him? Then you let him talk to me.” Xia Bingbao said after listening to Yang Ming’s words.

“Police Officer Zhang, please describe the case personally to my superior.” Yang Ming handed the phone to Police Officer Zhang. “You know the case better than me.”

“Okay…” Police Officer Zhang quickly took the phone call. Of course, he knew Xia Bingbao; he was the head of the Northeast area of ​​the Supernatural Investigation Bureau. They had business dealings before, so Police Officer Zhang said with enthusiasm, “Is it Mr. Xia? I’m Zhang Minyi.”

“Hello, Captain Zhang. Introduce the case to me,” Xia Bingbao naturally did not talk so much nonsense with Police Officer Zhang; his manner was utterly professional.

Captain Zhang quickly said what he knew about the case to Xia Bingbao, including the videotape, and then he returned the phone to Yang Ming.

“Are you saying that this behind-the-scenes boss wants to harm you?” asked Xia Bingbao.

“It should be like this. It can be judged from a series of things. I don’t know if I had offended him in Elder You’s incident,” said Yang Ming.

“Well, then this case should be handed over to us. I will pick up the case file from the Mount Jing police station. In addition, we have our person in Mount Jing. I will introduce him to you by that time. You tell him what you know, and let him help you to trace the behind-the-scenes boss,” said Xia Bingbao.

“This is great!” Yang Ming did not expect to use official power to search for the trail of the behind-the-scenes boss. In this way, it was much easier as he could be less passive.

“Although I don’t know if this behind-the-scenes boss has anything to do with Elder You, I will believe it since you said so.” As Xia Bingbao said up to here, he turned the thread of discussion. “However, since they have a relationship, then Elder You’s matters will be handed to you. You can’t evade this time, right?”

“Ah?” Yang Ming didn’t expect Xia Bingbao to beat around the bush for so long, but he still pushed the case to Yang Ming in the end. It seemed that Xia Bingbao didn’t care whether the behind-the-scenes boss had a relationship with Elder You from the beginning. He was only concerned about Yang Ming taking the lead to help him arrest Elder You!

“How about it? Are you willing this time?” asked Xia Bingbao.

“You also think too highly of me.” Yang Ming couldn’t refuse now. He could only say, “If you want me to go, I can only do my best. Don’t blame me if things get messed up.”

“Who can guarantee success, not to mention the horrifying guy?” Xia Bingbao smiled and said, “We didn’t specify a time for you. You just have to do your best on it. I can also apply for a lot of money for you!”

“I don’t lack money…” Yang Ming sweated a bit. “I’m afraid I won’t be able to come back alive.”

“Don’t worry, Xia Xue will be with you. This is for sure. She also participated in Elder You’s case before, so the police representative will be her.” Xia Bingbao said, “If he is so terrifying, how can I let Xia Xue go too?”

“You want to ask her to do meritorious deeds, right?” Yang Ming felt despised.”How can I not know your intentions?”

“But I will send experts to follow you.” Xia Bingbao said, “They are all top experts in the department, so you don’t have to worry about safety.”

“Okay, okay, alright. I will accept it for the time being. I will go back and think about it.” Yang Ming could only say so.

“Then, I will consider it as a promise from you.” Xia Bingbao smiled and said, “I will contact our person in Mount Jing and have him go to the police station to take the case file.”

“That’s all for now. If I knew, I wouldn’t have called you.” Yang Ming hung up the phone dispiritedly.

“How was it?” Seeing Yang Ming hang up the phone, Captain Zhang asked quickly.

“It’s done. Our people will go to the Mount Jing police station to take the case file in a moment. You go back and hand it over now. It will be easier for us to handle it than you,” said Yang Ming.

“Thank you so much… I can see that Mr. Yang also pays a high price…” Captain Zhang just heard the conversation between Yang Ming and Xia Bingbao, so he naturally knew that Yang Ming was forced to accept a perilous task. He felt sorry about it.

“It’s fine. This thing will be handed to me sooner or later.” Yang Ming shrugged. “You don’t have to take it seriously.”

“Hehe, from now on, Mr. Yang, if you have something in Mount Jing, I will do my best.” Captain Zhang knew that Yang Ming had to pay a high price. Although he said it in an understatement, he knew that it was impossible to be so simple.

“Hehe, then I will thank you first.” Yang Ming smiled indifferently.

“I’m the one who should thank you. Otherwise, the case really had no progress.” Captain Zhang also said politely.

“In this case, I will go first. I still have to go to school tomorrow. I will give my phone number to you. Please feel free to contact me if you have anything.” Yang Ming was afraid that Sun Jie was waiting impatiently for him, so he spoke.

“Okay.” Captain Zhang let Yang Ming get off. Xiao Tang was a little surprised. He didn’t know how Captain Zhang and Yang Ming came out again. However, when Yang Ming walked to his car, Xiao Tang was anxious. “Captain Zhang, why did you let him go?”

“The case has nothing to do with him, so of course, I let him go.” Captain Zhang quickly stopped Xiao Tang from speaking; he kept hinting to him.

However, the more this was the case, the more suspicious Xiao Tang became. He faintly saw Yang Ming give Captain Zhang something in the car, make a phone call, and pass it to Captain Zhang; then, Captain Zhang released him.

Could it be that Yang Ming bribed Captain Zhang, and Yang Ming called a person with a strong background to talk to Captain Zhang, so Captain Zhang let Yang Ming get away? Captain Zhang’s stalwart image collapsed in Xiao Tang’s heart as he thought of this. Xiao Tang frowned and said to Captain Zhang, “Captain Zhang, I never expect you to be such a person. You actually accepted the suspect’s bribe and released the suspect. You are making a mistake. Did you know?”

“What bribe did I collect? I… You wait for a moment. Don’t talk for now!” Captain Zhang was a little angry; he was very angry with Xiao Tang’s insensibility.

“Wait a moment for what? Do you want to tell me that a big shot called you and had you release Yang Ming?” Xiao Tang snorted. “I have already guessed it. You want to release Yang Ming, but I will not let him go!”
