The two policemen were slightly nervous, but they nodded and said, "Don't try any tricks, it's not good for you or us."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Don't worry, I'm not that foolish."

After saying that, he reached out his hand to Song Jiahui. She hesitated a bit, then stood up, walked over to Ling Zhenfei, and lightly shook his hand.

Just from that, Ling Zhenfei immediately confirmed that this Song Jiahui was not the same person as Song Jiaqi whom he met last time. It wasn't because of the hand, but because their scents were different.

Song Jiaqi had a faint fragrance on her, so faint that you wouldn't notice it without paying close attention. But Song Jiahui was different; her scent was quite obvious, and it was the smell of perfume.

The faint fragrance on Song Jiaqi might also be perfume, but the scent was completely different. The Divine Sense mentioned it wasn't the same style of scent.

So Ling Zhenfei concluded that this Song Jiahui wasn't the Song Jiaqi from the airplane.

A person's appearance might be deceiving, but the scent on them, something often overlooked, doesn't lie. Song Jiaqi's scent was unique, a natural body scent only women have.

But the current Song Jiahui had the smell of perfume, which was very different from body scent.

Ling Zhenfei was amazed that there could be two people in the world who looked so alike. Could Song Jiaqi and Song Jiahui be twins?

The Song Jiaqi on the airplane most likely didn't know about Master Nangong's plan and was simply a victim, which is why her performance on the plane was so genuine. Master Nangong knew if it had been Song Jiahui on the plane, her acting wouldn't have deceived Ling Zhenfei.

But the person here now was Song Jiahui. This was truly a clever plan. If not for Ling Zhenfei's keen sense of smell, he would have been fooled—let alone those policemen.

Who would've thought someone could devise such an intricate plan? It seemed almost impossible.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Thank you for coming, I've learned a lot."

Song Jiahui said, "I should be thanking you for helping me on the plane and even fighting for me."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Really? Did I help you on the plane? Haha."

Song Jiahui said, "Of course, I'm very grateful to you."

At this time, a policeman said, "Alright, you two, that's enough, let's go."

Ling Zhenfei was taken back to the adjacent room, while Song Jiahui was escorted away by the police.

Ling Zhenfei used the Divine Sense to find He Lingxiu, who was now sitting in the waiting room anxiously waiting for Ling Zhenfei.

Indeed, there was nothing more for He Lingxiu to do. She had said everything she needed to say, and even if Du Zhongming's incident was a medical mishap, it was no longer an issue, especially since the forensic report was not yet out.

By this time, it was already evening, and Ling Zhenfei had been at the police station for seven or eight hours, but the police seemed unwilling to release him.

A number of reporters had gathered outside the police station, and the entire station was on high alert, fearing the reporters might break in.

Due to Ling Zhenfei's special identity, he couldn't be treated like other prisoners. Originally, this matter should have been kept confidential, but someone had taken photos of Ling Zhenfei, making it widely known.

Online, people were speculating about the reason for Ling Zhenfei's detainment. As they didn't know about the fight, speculation centered on Du Zhongming's case, causing that previous television news to be circulated again, leading some to start questioning Ling Zhenfei's Medical Arts.

"Looks like you guys are planning to keep interrogating me tonight, huh?"

Seeing the police showed no intention of giving up, Ling Zhenfei knew this wouldn't be easy.

The police said, "Mr. Ling, you are a celebrity. This is just about a fight; some money will take care of it. But where did you take Xu Liang? Just tell us, it will only get more complicated as the night goes on."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Officers, if I knew, I would have already said something. I think you should be questioning the ones I fought with. You've got the wrong target."

A policeman said, "We got a call from higher-ups asking about your situation, and they're having a hard time too. We know you have connections. Many people, reporters, and media are watching this case, and we're under a lot of pressure."

Ling Zhenfei said, "I don't want to complicate things for you, but this truly has nothing to do with me. I've been set up. Why not let me go first? I can help you find Xu Liang."

That policeman exchanged a look with another and said, "We still need to get approval from higher up, but even if we agree to let you go, it has to be after the reporters outside have thinned out."

Ling Zhenfei knew that someone called from above must have been Guo Qing'an asking around. Ling Zhenfei's identity was quite special, as he was part of a national special operations group and had contributed to the country.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Keeping me here won't solve anything. Besides, I haven't even had dinner yet, and it's quite late. I'll have to tell the reporters about how I haven't eaten once I'm out."

The two policemen looked surprised, and one said, "Mr. Ling hasn't eaten yet, huh? We'll get you some food right away; we haven't eaten either."

Ling Zhenfei knew that with the current evidence, they couldn't conclusively prove Xu Liang's disappearance was related to him. Higher-ups were pressuring them, so they couldn't detain him for too long.

If they couldn't keep him for long, why not find a way to let him off?

Most importantly, Ling Zhenfei had promised to help them find Xu Liang, which was a great opportunity.

The two policemen left the room and went outside.

"Captain, I think we can let him go. There's not much time left. Even if we don't let him go now, we'll have to eventually, and then we get nothing."

"Release him? What if he escapes? Who's responsible then?" The captain hesitated a bit.

"Captain, you're being silly. Ling Zhenfei is a big star; everyone recognizes him wherever he goes. As long as we restrict his movements, where could he possibly go?"

"I'm still a bit worried. From all the current information and evidence, Xu Liang's disappearance is closely related to Ling Zhenfei. Letting him go would be like setting a tiger free."

"But Captain, you know as well as I do that even though all clues point to Ling Zhenfei, they're not enough to convict him. Besides, do you know who Ling Zhenfei is? This matter is being monitored by higher authorities.

If we had absolute evidence, it'd be one thing. Without it, it's troublesome for us. And if we let Ling Zhenfei go, we wouldn't truly set him free. We can follow him, spread a big net.
