Captain Wu had no choice but to use all his strength to carry Shen Luo out of the basement.

Once they were outside the bungalow, they finally saw the miserable state that Dong Heng was in.

His hair was disheveled like a bird’s nest, and his face was covered in dried bloodstains that had been there for a long time. His clothes were also tattered, and his entire body emitted a stench.

He squatted on the ground and buried his head in his arms, as if he was afraid of the sunlight. He closed his eyes tightly and did not dare to open them.

Wu Zheng carried Shen Luo out of the basement. Zou Sheng followed closely behind. He took out his phone and showed them the photos he had taken inside just now. Some of the photos were not very clear and had been overexposed.

Everyone’s eyes were drawn to the iron chain in the corner of the dark basement. The end of the iron chain was connected to an iron ring that was large enough to hold one’s neck. It seemed that Dong Chang had chained Dong Heng up in there, and he had lived in the darkness like a dog.

Lian Jing glanced at the man squatting on the ground in disgust. He could not stand the man’s stench and he turned to walk back to the car.

Shen Yin had been observing events through the car window. She was utterly relieved to see that Dong Heng had been caught and that Shen Luo was unscathed apart from being a little frightened.

“Thank you, Lian Jing.” Shen Yin thanked him sincerely. If not for his help, the case would not have been solved so easily.

Lian Jing raised his eyebrows and looked at her playfully. “Do you police officers only pay lip service?”

Shen Yin narrowed her eyes and smiled. “Well, what would President Lian like as a thank-you gift?”

Shen Yin had not been injured this time, so Lian Jing was in an extremely good mood. He instructed Zhong Xin, who was sitting in front, “Book a western-food restaurant. Thank you, Dr. Shen, for having dinner with me tonight.”

Zhong Xin suppressed his laughter with much difficulty and nodded earnestly. “Alright, President Lian. I’ll arrange it for you now.”

He admired Shen Yin even more. Only she could teach the poker-faced President to joke with others.

Shen Yin widened her eyes and looked at him in disbelief. “I still have to go back to work!”

The case was not completely over. She could not just walk away.

Lian Jing turned around and pointed at his watch. He said matter-of-factly, “Officer, it’s already time to knock-off.”

“But…” Shen Yin wanted to say something else, but the chauffeur met Lian Jing’s gaze through the rearview mirror. He stepped on the accelerator and drove away as fast as he could. The car drove off, leaving Team Three behind in the dust.

Zou Sheng stammered as he pointed in their direction. He could not help but say, “Captain, President Lian took Dr. Shen away.”

Wu Zheng glanced at Meng Heng and nodded. “It’s time to get off work.”

Zou Sheng immediately looked at his captain in surprise and delight. “Then I, I also want…”

“No you don’t.” Wu Zheng glared at him and said coldly, “Bring him to the police car and interrogate him separately from Dong Chang.”

Zou Sheng pouted and did as he was told with a pitiful expression.

These were clearly double standards!

The moment Dong Heng heard Dong Chang’s name, he trembled in fear and his face turned as pale as paper. He kept muttering in fear, “Dong Chang, Dong Chang! I’m not going, I don’t want to go! I don’t want to see him!”

Wu Zheng stared at the man on the ground with disdain. Suddenly, he squatted down and patted his shoulder. “Don’t be afraid. Tell us everything about Dong Chang, okay?”

Dong Heng raised his head in horror, his eyes bulging and saliva dripping from the corner of his mouth. “If I tell you, can you protect me?”

Wu Zheng nodded and promised him confidently, “We’re the police. We’ll definitely ensure your safety.”

Of course, it was only before he was sentenced.

Dong Heng looked at him hesitantly. Suddenly, he thought of something and his eyes widened. He waved his hands in panic. “Not the police. I can’t tell the police! I-I killed someone. I can’t go with the police. I have to hide. Yes! I have to hide. Dong Chang must not find me, and the police must not find me!”

Wu Zheng frowned. He stood up and looked at Meng Heng and Zou Sheng. “Bring him back to the police station first. Then, find a psychologist to do a psychiatric assessment on him.”

“Yes.” Zou Sheng quickly contacted the bureau to make arrangements. Unfortunately, it was after working hours now. The specialists would only come tomorrow.

They returned to the police station and brought him into the interrogation room. They were prepared to try to calm him down and gain his trust before interrogating him. This was Shen Yin’s usual trick. They had been influenced by her and were used to this kind of interrogation method.

Wu Zheng sat at the head of the table and personally poured a cup of hot water for the man sitting opposite him. Then, he smiled and pretended to comfort him kindly. “You don’t have to be afraid. We’re the police. We won’t hurt you. Not even Dong Chang can hurt you.”

Dong Heng leaned forward slightly and subconsciously tried to get closer to Wu Zheng. He lowered his voice and asked, “Dong Chang really can’t find me?”

Wu Zheng nodded patiently and gave him an affirmative answer. “Don’t worry, the police station is very safe. We will protect you.”

Only then did Dong Heng relax his shoulders with a smug smile on his face. He was a completely different person from the timid man just now.
