Chapter 369
Because they had already set a time yesterday to go see Zheng Guangsheng, Wen Man was waiting for them at the door early in the morning.
Seeing the two people come down with big smiles on their faces, the smiles on their faces deepened even more.
"You seem to be in a good mood?"
Lin Xiao smiled somewhat embarrassedly, "Teacher Wen, I'm sorry to have worried you."
Wen Man smiled indifferently, not taking the matter to heart at all.
"As long as you have the right mindset, that's fine. I'm just afraid that this problem will ruin your potential, which would be a real loss."
Lin Xiao smiled sheepishly, so embarrassed that she was practically crawling on the ground with her toes.
"Teacher Wen, could you tell us about Zheng Guangsheng's situation?"
At this point, Wen Man couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
“Because of Yunnan Province’s geographical location, we have always been very concerned about these kinds of things. We just didn’t expect that even with our vigilance, there would still be people doing these messy things right under our noses.”
"The people over there have actually been arrested quite a few, but when they were first arrested, they all said very nice things, pleading guilty and accepting punishment."
"But later, when they got to court, the suspects immediately changed their story, saying that they were forced to confess by the police."
"He claimed he was just trying to sell some things he'd brought back from outside, and had no idea about poaching or hunting."
"Furthermore, Zheng Guangsheng and his team have been unable to locate where the other party is hiding the animals. Where exactly is it? Due to insufficient evidence, the case has to be sent back for retrial."
"Even the police officers who investigated the case have been suspended from duty and are under investigation."
Wen Man frowned deeply, her face looking extremely pale.
However, it's true that they were too hasty at the time, simply trying to settle the case based on confessions, and their lack of solid evidence led to this mess.
Lin Xiao and Feng Cheng both frowned upon hearing this.
"what about now?"
Lin Xiao frowned and asked.
Wen Man sighed and slowly said, "What can Zheng Guangsheng and the others do now? They can only continue their investigation with a heavy heart."
"But speaking of which... these people are really outrageous. Although the city is quite large overall, there are only so many places to hide things. Where on earth could they possibly hide these animals?"
Lin Xiao was also very curious.
With this question in mind, they found Zheng Guangsheng at nearly noon.
Zheng Guangsheng was still completely stunned when he heard Lin Xiao's call.
"Sister Xiao? When did you get back?"
"Are you alright? You have no idea how crazy our boss was a few days ago."
Upon hearing the news about Lu Chengshen, Lin Xiao coughed lightly, looking quite embarrassed, and immediately steered the conversation back to the main topic.
"What exactly happened on your end? Lu Bu was taken back to Kyoto for a meeting, and I happened to be here on business, so he entrusted you to me."
Zheng Guangsheng immediately let out a wail on the phone.
"Ah—Sister Xiao, help! We're having such a headache here."
"Those people are better off not having mouths at all; they can't utter a single useful word."
"I'm really out of ideas now."
Lin Xiao listened to Zheng Guangsheng's wails, her expression showing a hint of helplessness.
However, compared to being locked up outside alone some time ago, hearing Zheng Guangsheng's lively voice now makes her feel that there is still some life around her.
Lin Xiao and Zheng Guangsheng agreed to meet at the police station.
Lin Xiao had just parked the car when she looked up and saw someone rushing towards her in a flurry of activity.
Lin Xiao looked at the person who was skipping and jumping towards him, and couldn't help but smile at his excited tone.
"long time no see!"
"Sister Xiao, I've missed you all so much. So, could you perhaps get some small animals to help out this time?"
Seeing the other person's animated expression, Lin Xiao shook his head speechlessly.
"Let's take a look at those two first."
“Even if we need to ask small animals for help, we still need to have some, right?” Lin Xiao gave him a look and stood up on her own initiative.
Unlike Zheng Guangsheng's impulsive nature, Wang Chusui walked calmly out of the police station.
"Sister Xiao, we've finally waited for you."
Lin Xiao greeted them with a smile before saying, "Let's go. Tell me what's going on. Teacher Wen told me before I came, but it wasn't as detailed as what you've said."
Wang Chusui nodded and led Lin Xiao inside.
Wang Chusui placed all the case-related materials in front of Lin Xiao, his voice tinged with helplessness.
“We have investigated all the places they have been in contact with during this period of time, but we have not been able to find the stolen goods that they have stolen and hunted.”
Lin Xiao looked at the documents in her hand and let out a leisurely breath. "You guys go ahead and get busy. I'll find out the details first."
Zheng Guangsheng's tone was much lighter than before.
"Alright! You take your time looking at it. Let's find a place to take a nap first."
After saying that, he grabbed Wang Chusui and left without looking back.
Lin Xiao watched their departing figures and shook her head helplessly.
Looking down at the completed document in his hand, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
Let's get to work first and talk about it later.
In the blink of an eye, several hours had passed.
"Buzzing..."
The vibration of her phone immediately pulled Lin Xiao away from the documents in her hands.
She put down the documents, pinched her brow with a helpless expression, and then picked up her phone to take a look.
Upon seeing the name Lu Chengshen displayed on the screen, Lin Xiao's smile deepened.
She got up and walked to the window before clicking to answer the call.
The office she is currently in was specially provided for Zheng Guangsheng and his team by the local police station.
At this moment, Lin Xiao was the only person in the room.
How's the situation on your end?
The call connected, and Lu Chengshen's voice came through the receiver.
"I just arrived today and only just received the materials for the whole case. I'll go through the whole case first."
Lin Xiao stretched her neck, her voice tinged with amusement, "How's things going on your end? Has Gakar been relentlessly pressuring you for an answer?"
Thinking back to when they were in New Zealand, how Gakar had tried every means to get close to him and would immediately extend an invitation whenever he had the chance, his smile widened.
Lu Chengshen was also quite helpless.
"almost."
"This is the first time I've been surrounded and blocked like this, but... if we don't give in, there's nothing he can do."
"You go ahead and take care of your business. I'm dealing with things here in Kyoto, but I'm putting it off."
"I know."
Lin Xiao stood by the window, her fingers idly pawing at the plants on the windowsill.
There was silence on the microphone for a while.
Neither of them hung up the phone.
After a long while, a man's earnest voice came through the microphone.
"Tsk, it's only been a day since we parted, and I'm already missing you."
Lin Xiao paused for a moment while swaying the bonsai, then smiled and said, "Then keep thinking about it. I'm going to get back to work."
After saying that, he immediately hung up the phone.
Far away in Kyoto, Lu Chengshen looked at the phone that had been hung up hastily, raised his eyebrows slightly, and a smile unconsciously flashed in his eyes.
Tsk, why are you still embarrassed?
