Chapter 586 Sand Sea 12

Chapter 586 Sand Sea 12

Xie Yuchen's mission to rescue the person went very smoothly.

He first contacted his most influential connections and then hired the most famous lawyers in the country to defend Wang Meng at great expense.

This move, seemingly for Wang Meng's benefit, actually directly confirmed Wang Meng's guilt.

He also claimed that Wu Xie felt guilty towards Li Cu, which is why he asked Wang Meng to apologize.

They never expected that Wang Meng would trick Liang Wan into luring Li Cu, and they never expected that he would use an electric baton to attack Li Cu again.

It was all Wang Meng's own doing, and had nothing to do with Wu Xie.

The police naturally did not believe this explanation, but lacking evidence, Wang Meng insisted that he was the one who did it all, and even had a lawyer defend him.

Even Li Yiming's confession didn't mention Wu Xie, so based solely on Liang Wan's confession, it was impossible to convict Wu Xie.

There was nothing else the police could do but take a statement from Wu Xie and then release him.

"hateful!"

The hot-blooded young policeman watched Wu Xie and Xie Yuchen's retreating figures with a burning hatred, wishing he could pin them down and beat them up on the spot, making them receive the punishment they deserved.

Zhang Wen felt a surge of frustration. He glanced at the lawyer who was applying to meet with Wang Meng, gritted his teeth, and turned around to go directly to Director Liu's office.

"Director Liu..."

Director Liu was quite adept at maintaining composure. Upon seeing Zhang Wen's angry face, he calmly waved his hand to interrupt him.

Then he slowly got up and walked to the window, watching the car drive away and chuckled twice: "Our investigation has only just begun to make some progress, and these demons and monsters can't help but jump out. This shows that our investigation direction is correct."

As he finished speaking, his voice gradually turned cold: "This case is no longer just a vicious attack; it involves more and more people and things. We must be mindful of our methods and approaches when we do things; we cannot act recklessly or forcefully."

Zhang Wen's spirits lifted upon hearing this.

"Director Liu, did you deliberately let Wu Xie go?"

Director Liu nodded: "Although we now know that the Wu family has problems, we don't have enough evidence to convict them. So, it would be better to release them first to lower their guard, and then take the opportunity to go underground."

"Don't worry, I have already applied to higher authorities for joint investigations with Beijing, Hangzhou, Changsha and other places to completely eradicate these social scourges. Your immediate priority is to get Li Yiming to talk as soon as possible."

"Li Yiming and the Shen family of three went to Inner Mongolia together. Although he has now returned to Beijing, the Shen couple have mysteriously disappeared. Their daughter, Shen Qiong, has also been surrounded by several unknown people who have become involved in Li Cu's case."

Director Liu turned to Zhang Wen, his expression serious, and said, "My intuition tells me there's some hidden secret behind this. Once we uncover that secret, everything else might fall into place."

Having confirmed that Director Liu had not been corrupted by the criminal forces and that letting Wu Xie go was merely a temporary measure, Zhang Wen breathed a sigh of relief: "I will immediately begin investigating the Shen family's affairs when I get back."

"Hmm." Director Liu nodded and reminded him, "Don't neglect Li Cu's side either. Wu Xie went to great lengths to take Li Cu away, and he shouldn't give up so easily now. Make sure to send someone to protect Li Cu's safety."

"Yes"
