Chapter 312 Calmness and Violence
"This leads us to conclude that someone was definitely standing in that spot at the time. Based on the size of the footprints, we can determine that it was a man, and I think that must be the eyewitness. He stood in that spot for a long time, which means that he had actually been hiding there the whole time. But why did he say that he only came up because he heard the argument? This is over twenty floors. If he had been standing in that spot the whole time, he should have noticed something was wrong long ago. It doesn't make logical sense that he only came out and said that he witnessed the whole incident when people fell."
Unexpectedly, she could draw so many conclusions from just one footprint. The three men present couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for this woman named Xia Ran.
Standing at the farthest point, Lu Fengcheng squinted at the woman who was giving her eloquent commentary. Her dazzling radiance was almost blinding, and he, too, saw the admiring glint in the eyes of the other two men. If the two men standing beside her weren't Jiang Yanhui and Ye Zhenghao, he would have definitely rushed forward and restrained her—
Shouldn't this woman's perfect radiance be something only she can see?
"Xia Ran, I didn't know you also had legal and political work to do. Thank you for this. I'll question that eyewitness thoroughly when I get back." Ye Zhenghao stood beside her as they went downstairs together. "What are your plans for the future?"
“Let’s talk to the corpse.” She took off her gloves. “That’s my job. I think the key is still the corpse. Siyi didn’t push her downstairs, so why did she suddenly fall? There must be something we don’t know. The corpse doesn’t lie.”
Ye Zhenghao nodded, but Jiang Yanhui frowned with a headache. "The elders of the Ying family have come from City A. They don't want to dissect the body." This was what Liu Qi told him over the phone. Actually, this was not surprising. After all, she was the only daughter of the Ying family. They were now burying their daughter, so naturally they didn't want their daughter's body to suffer any more.
In truth, Jiang Yanhui understood the Ying family's feelings. No matter what, Ying Rui had helped him selflessly back then, and even if she had done some excessive things later, he never intended for her to die. That was a living, breathing human life; the price of death was too high. Moreover, Ying's father's health wasn't good at the moment. Whatever the hidden story, he was certain that Ying Rui was an innocent scapegoat!
While it's true that every pitiful person has something hateful about them, it would be too cold-blooded to say that he feels no remorse for his position.
Xia Ran glanced at Jiang Yanhui, a slight smile playing on her lips, and said in a businesslike tone, "There are teaching anatomy, pathological anatomy, and the last one is forensic anatomy, which is what we call a death autopsy. I think Ying Rui's case should have already been submitted to the judicial process, right, Brother Ye?"
Ye Zhenghao nodded.
Xia Ran added, "That's fine then. Everything I'm doing now is authorized by the court. The autopsy results will directly affect the final outcome of the case, and the relatives cannot object."
Jiang Yanhui understood these simple truths, but with the city in turmoil, he feared that if the Ying family were to cause further trouble, public opinion would become too extreme towards Sisi. He had already done everything in his power to quell the public outcry, but he knew that Lin Zhenbiao was fanning the flames from behind. He had always thought that his power had grown considerably over the years, but he hadn't expected that Lin Zhenbiao's forces were even more formidable.
He's basically controlling public opinion in City B; all the gossip headlines are talking about this case.
Sometimes, no matter how high you stand, there are times when you feel powerless. He never hated himself for this; he couldn't even protect the woman he loved most.
Jiang Yanhui had been preoccupied, and even when she saw Lu Fengcheng, she didn't show much emotion. When she came downstairs, she got into her car. Ye Zhenghao had also driven over by himself. He told Xia Ran the exact location, and as he watched Xia Ran and Lu Fengcheng leave one after the other, he was about to get into his car when his phone suddenly rang. After he hung up the phone, his expression changed.
Jiang Yan's car was still parked not far away. He hesitated for a moment, then walked over and knocked on the car window.
Jiang Yan was smoking; he hadn't touched a cigarette in many years. He coughed awkwardly as he inhaled the smoke, and was just about to stub it out when he heard a knock on the car window. Reaching out the central locking system, he slowly rolled down the window. Ye Zhenghao said anxiously, "There's a problem with Siyi. She was interrogated for over ten hours last night, and she currently has a high fever..."
"What?" Jiang Yan turned around, her expression darkening. She grabbed Ye Zhenghao's collar and growled angrily, "What happened? How did she suddenly get a fever? And who the hell interrogated her for over ten hours? Didn't you say you had everything arranged at the police station?"
Ye Zhenghao slapped his hand away, his face equally grim. "I've contacted everyone I can, but for some reason, even the bureau chief isn't answering my calls. I suspect someone is manipulating this behind the scenes." He paused, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Jiang Yan Hui, and sneered, "Shouldn't you know best? You should know best who the mastermind behind this is!"
Jiang Yan's expression instantly became complicated. Of course, he knew who Ye Zhenghao was talking about. He took a deep breath, and finally pulled the handbrake, coldly uttering only one sentence, "I'll go get Sisi right now!"
He absolutely couldn't let her get hurt again, he's a complete bastard! He already got her out of that awful place yesterday, and now she's sick. How much pain has she endured? She has a fever…
Jiang Yan was on tenterhooks the whole time, but when she arrived at the police station, she was surprised to find that everyone there had been replaced.
It seemed that the familiar faces he had seen before had all become strangers, and even Ye Zhenghao, who came along with them, did not recognize these people.
Both of them were somewhat surprised, but only for a few seconds before they realized that someone had already made a move.
"Who are you looking for?"
Someone came up to them, but Jiang Yan didn't even bother to look back at him. She reached out and grabbed the man's collar. His eyes were sinister and sent chills down her spine. "I'm not here to find someone. I'm here to take my people away. Bring Ye Siyi out here."
He couldn't wait any longer. If Sisi hadn't insisted on staying here yesterday, he would have already found a way to get her out. It was just a day later. Everyone here had been replaced. Clearly, someone had no intention of letting Sisi out. Since that was the case, he wouldn't hold back if he had to use force.
The man had indeed just been transferred here. He only knew that the higher-ups were taking Ye Siyi's case very seriously, and that they had all given instructions that she could not be released on bail no matter what. So, he mustered his courage and said loudly, "Sir, no matter who you are, we are acting in accordance with the law. Without orders from above, Miss Ye Siyi cannot be released on bail at the moment. Please let go, otherwise I will charge you with assaulting a police officer!"
"You fucking see if I dare to hit you!" Jiang Yan was furious, his eyes were red, and he could no longer calm down. He raised his hand to throw a punch, but fortunately Ye Zhenghao was quick to grab his wrist and reached out with his other hand to grab Jiang Yan's hand that was holding the policeman's collar, stopping Jiang Yan's movement.
"Don't be impulsive." He was calmer after all. He shook his head at Jiang Yan and lowered his voice, saying, "Do you want to go in now? These people are not my people, and we can't control them."
"Damn it, I don't care who they are, I'm taking Sisi away today. If I can't, I'll force my way in!"
"Are you crazy? This isn't City A, and besides, the situation is far too serious right now. If you insist on going this far, it won't do Siyi any good. Think about all the gossip headlines out there. If anything happens here, Siyi won't even need to go to court. Someone with ulterior motives can easily pin a charge on her, and she could be sentenced, you know that?" This time, it was clearly Lin Zhenbiao's doing. Ye Zhenghao never expected that the old man would have his people here. He knew Lin Zhenbiao was extraordinary before, but he never knew he was this powerful. Even in the legal system, could he control everything?
No wonder he could get away with all those heinous things in the past. It's utterly despicable!
This was the first time he felt that Siyi's situation was definitely not as simple as they had thought, and that the path of confrontation might be much more difficult than they had previously estimated.
Ye Zhenghao is calm now, but Jiang Yanhui is irritable.
The mere thought of Sisi being in one of those small rooms inside, running a high fever... caused him to clench his fists tightly. A heart-wrenching feeling overwhelmed him, and he could no longer control himself. He moved his thin lips and spoke with a hint of violence, "It's just a police station. If they dare to detain my woman here today, I'll raze this place to the ground!"
Jiang Yanhui has wielded considerable power over the years, but he is not usually very serious. He always appears lazy and nonchalant, with a gloomy and gentle expression that makes people feel a chill down their spines.
But once this man gets serious, he's absolutely a man of his word.
He has a bottom line, and Ye Siyi is his bottom line. Now that they have actually tormented his precious darling like this, he naturally cannot remain silent any longer. He said he would demolish this place, and he really meant it. With a single command, the men following him prepared to take action.
