This woman looked to be only in her early thirties, but her face after removing her makeup made her look much older than her actual age. She had a haggard appearance, and her eyes, with their alluring charm, carried a long-suppressed resentment.

The woman looked Leon up and down with a wary gaze and asked, "Who are you? I don't know you!"

To avoid upsetting the woman, Liang wasn't wearing a police uniform, but he still needed to identify himself. He took out his police ID and said in a friendly tone, "I'm a police officer, and I need to ask you about some things."

The woman didn't look, and he didn't open the door with his police ID. He said coldly, "I haven't broken the law, why are you looking for me?"

Leon was rebuffed, but he remained calm and smiled, saying, "Can I come in and talk? It's not proper to keep someone out."

Seeing that she had no other choice, the woman opened the security door and let Leon in, but the sound of the door closing made it clear that he was not welcoming of her visit.

After Leon went in, he sat down and looked around the room. The small one-bedroom apartment was simply decorated and furnished with just a few pieces of furniture; it was probably a rental apartment.

The woman poured a glass of plain water and placed it in front of Leon, saying indifferently, "There's no tea, so this will have to do." Leon waved his hand and said, "No, no, I'm not thirsty."

The woman crossed her arms, shrugged her shoulders, and said, "Why are you here if you're not drinking water or going to the toilet?"

"Oh, right, are you looking for me to keep you company while you drink? You've come to the wrong time and the wrong place. You should come to a nightclub tonight to find me."

Leon, somewhat embarrassed, cleared his throat and said, "I'm here today because of Yi Long's matter."

“Yi Long,” the woman exclaimed with an exaggerated “Eh!” She emphasized in a dramatic tone, “Isn’t he in jail? What do you want? Did he do something good and get a reduced sentence? You should notify his family, why are you looking for me, his lover?”

Chapter 974 The Shocked Crowd

He thought to himself, "This woman is no pushover. I'm not going to let her keep causing trouble."

He said bluntly, "Yi Long has escaped from prison. According to our police assessment, he is currently hiding somewhere in the city, and there is definitely someone assisting him. Do you understand what I mean?"

Not understanding, the woman said bluntly, "I'm not very bright, so you'd better not try to talk to me in riddles."

“Alright, let’s be frank,” he stood up, his eyes meeting the woman’s, and said, “We’ve investigated all the social connections, and you’re the most suspicious person. Now you should know why I’m here.”

He said, "You suspect me," the woman's eyes widened.

She looked both aggrieved and angry, as if she had instantly transformed into Dou E, who had suffered a terrible injustice.

He was just short of crying out in despair to the heavens.

“I haven’t seen him for three whole years, what makes you suspect me?”

Leon said, "Reasonable suspicion is the basis for police investigations. If you are not harboring or protecting a fugitive, you don't need to worry. But I must remind you not to take any chances. Harboring or protecting criminals will be punished by law. It will be too late to regret it then!"

The woman turned her face away, seemingly not wanting to listen at all. Li Yang paused for a moment and continued, "Everyone makes mistakes. The key is whether you can turn back in time. If you are really in deep trouble, the only way to save yourself now is to assist the police in making amends and reveal Yi Long's whereabouts."

The woman lowered her eyelids, her long eyelashes casting a shadow. Was she using this to express disdain for power, or to mask her inner unease?

The woman seemed to have been stabbed hard by something sharp; her body trembled. She bit her lip tightly, as if trying to hold back something, but in the end, she couldn't hold back, and two lines of tears silently flowed down her cheeks.

He looked at the woman with encouraging and expectant eyes, but in the end he was disappointed. The woman wiped away her tears and said in an icy tone, "I've never seen him, and he hasn't contacted me. I don't think I'd have the chance to hide or protect him. Do you still have something else to say?"

The woman acted like a resident or tenant, and the two men got up to leave helplessly. He put his phone number on the coffee table and said, "Maybe you need some time to think about it. Call me when you've made up your mind."

Li Yang walked to the door and was about to open it when he suddenly heard a crane's cry behind him: "Wait a minute!"

Leon turned around at the sound and was taken aback. The woman seemed to have changed, as if she had suddenly become a different person. Her expression revealed a sharp and fierce look. If her eyes were filled with frost just now, they were now full of flames, flames of hatred.

The woman said, "How many good people are there among you police officers? You're all a bunch of trash."

These words were like a heavy punch, striking his vitals and shattering his spirit. He stood there blankly, even his eyes revealing a hint of weakness.

Ideal stood at the door, his face and expression numb.

The woman completely lost control of her emotions, suddenly lunging at Leon and biting and scratching him. Caught off guard by the sudden force of his attack, she was scratched several times on the face and bitten hard on the wrist.

Chapter 975 Shock!! Everyone's expression changed drastically.

Faced with a woman who was almost insane, he had to expend considerable effort to subdue her.

"Calm down, acting impulsively won't solve anything!" Leon pressed him down onto the sofa.

The woman was exhausted, completely worn out. She stopped resisting and began to pant heavily.

Leon released him and said, "If you don't want to deal with me, you can contact my colleague. You should think this through carefully; there's no going back."

Leon got up and left, feeling dejected all the way. She never expected things to turn out this way.

Suddenly he received a call from an unknown number. When he answered, he heard the woman's voice, which sounded like she had completely calmed down.

"I'm so sorry, I was too impulsive just now. I hope you won't blame me. I've been holding back for too many years..."

At this point, the other side fell silent. As if knowing this, Li Yang finally understood what the woman wanted to say, yet hesitated and couldn't make up his mind.

Leon's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said, "Is there something you want to tell me? Is it about Yi Long?"

After an even longer silence, the woman let out a long sigh: "Come over now!"

Having regained her composure and returned the way she came, it seemed that after the initial frenzy, the woman's mind had completely cleared.

In just a few minutes, the woman may have figured everything out.

This is Leon's inner turmoil: a jealous excitement.

Ten minutes later, Leon returned to the woman's house. The security door was ajar. He pushed it open and went in, but as soon as he stepped into the living room, he took a step back and his expression changed drastically.

The woman lay on the bed, a dagger protruding from her abdomen. She was motionless, but the blood flowing from her body snaked across the floor like red serpents.

Leon quickly regained his composure, taking a few steps forward to avoid the "blood snakes."

He observed the woman's condition, first confirming whether she was still alive, and at the same time avoiding disturbing the scene.

Just then, a flurry of footsteps echoed down the hallway.

Leon had barely come to his senses when he heard the sound when two strong hands pressed down on his arms. With a "crack," he felt a boiling sensation in his wrists, and a steely coldness instantly spread through his hands throughout his body.

Leon looked down at the coldly gleaming handcuffs on his wrists, then looked up at the police surrounding him with their stern expressions. His heart sank into an abyss.

Leon knew he had fallen into a trap, a terrible trap.

Leon tried to remain calm and said to the police officers, "Don't misunderstand, I didn't kill anyone. I'm an agent too."

The single word stunned the police officers, who looked at each other in bewilderment.

Leon said, "I have my badge in my pocket. I'm a Level 6 agent of S.H.I.E.L.D."

The police officers glanced at his identification, their expressions softening somewhat. The officer in charge said, "We can't open your gloves yet, I trust you understand."

Leon nodded: "I understand!"

These police officers arrived at the scene after receiving an emergency call.

They reported the situation to the criminal investigation team.

Half an hour later, a police officer, their leader, led a team to the scene. He glanced at Liang but didn't say a word before leading his team to investigate the scene. As the investigation progressed, his expression became increasingly serious.

Chapter 976 The Stunned Crowd

Thinking about it, the thought of sitting in the interrogation room of the criminal investigation team suddenly filled him with an indescribable feeling. To be honest, he was all too familiar with this place.

He went from a high-ranking agent to a criminal suspect; who could bear such a psychological drop?

As they were being escorted in, I saw all sorts of expressions in their eyes: shock, confusion, bewilderment, and bewilderment...

Leon went over everything that had happened that day in his mind again, but he still felt a sense of confusion.

"Who meticulously dug this trap for themselves?"

How could he have known to go find this woman? Does he have the ability to foresee the future?

Leon suddenly felt a chill run down her spine for no apparent reason, and a pair of black eyes appeared in her mind.

At that moment, the door to the interrogation room opened.

Detective "Owl" strode in. He didn't sit behind the interrogation table, but went straight to Liang.

The two stood facing each other, gazing at one another.

Detective "Owl" said, "How can I save you after you've done something like that?"

Leon was stunned and exclaimed in disbelief, "You actually believe I would kill someone?"

The owl said, "I wish it were fake, but the evidence is overwhelming. Can I not believe it?"

"What irrefutable evidence?" Leon asked.

"Owl" said, "First of all, you were caught at the crime scene. After the initial investigation, it can be confirmed that there were only two people involved in the transaction at the scene, one was the victim and the other was you. You are not the murderer. Did the murderer grow wings and come in? How could they kill someone without even touching the ground!"

Leon was stunned for a long time before he said, "Could it be killing people with lasers, or killing people with superpowers?"

The owl chuckled and said, "This is a real-life murder case. Even if this method of killing is feasible, it has been ruled out in this case."

Leon fell silent; he had to admit it.

The owl's words made sense, but he really couldn't think of any other way the murderer could kill and frame someone without leaving a trace.

Leon's heart sank.

Now even Detective "Owl" has fallen for the scam and no longer trusts himself, so you can imagine how dangerous his situation is.

"No, I have to turn this situation around," he thought to himself.

“We’ve known each other for years, and I’d like to know your opinion of me,” Leon said.
