Chapter 1628: Chapter 775 The House Hasn’t Collapsed But the Roof Already Has_2

Not long after the interrogation started over there, Yan Fei, who was sitting absent-mindedly, suddenly clutched his stomach. After holding it for a while, he stood up, approached the nearest officer with an embarrassed look, and said: "The food I had outside tonight doesn’t seem right, I’ve been tossing and turning, and now I feel uncomfortable. Can you get me some paper to go to the restroom?"

The officer he asked could tell what was happening by his demeanor and quickly handed him a roll of toilet paper. Yan Fei grabbed it and turned to leave: "No time to explain, I’ll take this first, I’ll return it after I’m done..."

Watching his hurried figure dash toward the restroom, the police on standby ready to catch the mastermind behind the scenes all couldn’t help but want to laugh.

A younger officer held back his laughter and said: "When we caught him earlier, he seemed quite skilled, but how come now..."

"Isn’t that obvious!" Another officer nearby burst into laughter. "No matter how good your Kung Fu is, can you hold off an illness? Have you ever heard of anyone whose Kung Fu skills prevent them from ever having diarrhea?"

It was the wee hours of the morning, and some of them had been called out of their beds to come here. Sitting in the car for hours and going through the tension of catching someone, everyone was somewhat tired by now. Just now, no one was in the mood to talk, but picking up on this cue, they all started to chat casually.

There wasn’t much to talk about; the case they were discussing was the same. It was either speculating about the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes or how unlucky those two guys were to have been betrayed in their hiding place.

The 200,000 yuan reward is too tempting, making these fairweather friends unreliable. Besides, that Ma Zi is really something else. Despite him having a small building in his village, building a small building in the countryside doesn’t cost much these days, especially compared to 200,000 yuan, which is definitely a lot more.

People chatted for a while, and as the interrogation did not yield any results, gradually they could no longer resist the fatigue, and the enthusiasm for conversation waned.

It hadn’t been quiet for long when Yan Fei came out with a pained expression on his face. He handed the now-diminished roll of toilet paper back to the officer from earlier, and said with a wry smile, "You really can’t just eat any old thing outside. Last night I went to watch a movie with my girlfriend, and had dinner outside; ended up getting screwed over."

"Yeah! Home-cooked meals are the best when you can make them at home. Nothing beats home food for nourishment." The officer replied with a smile, echoing his sentiment.

Yan Fei had no intention of saying more and went back to the same corner, continuing to sit there with a blank expression. Seeing him like this, the others didn’t feel much like talking either.

It was quiet again for a while when someone emerged hurriedly from an office on one side of the hall, walking straight into the interrogation room. In two minutes, the person came out again and said softly to the somewhat puzzled group outside, "The families of those two people just had their houses demolished!"

As he spoke, he glanced intentionally or unintentionally in Yan Fei’s direction. Everyone else was taken aback and subsequently also directed their gazes toward Yan Fei.

At this moment, Yan Fei had a lost and distant look on his face as if he hadn’t noticed what was happening around him at all.

Although Yan Fei didn’t seem to react, the others knew better than to delve deeper into the discussion. They were all law enforcement officers who understood the basic procedures. Boss Yan didn’t hesitate to offer 200,000 yuan because a lab worker got injured. Now that the people were just arrested, and both families’ houses were demolished, it was quite natural to suspect Boss Yan.

Of course, without evidence, nobody would say anything, but it would be different once there was evidence. Even if Yan Fei was regarded as a victim just a moment ago, if it turns out he was responsible for demolishing those houses, he would then become a criminal suspect.

The case of the demolished houses was handled by a police station in the suburbs. The homes of the two criminals were both not far from Provincial City, located in two neighboring villages within the jurisdiction of this police station.

About half an hour ago, because of the reward notice, the families of the two criminals were all on edge. They knew exactly what their family members were like, often involved in illegitimate dealings on the outside. Even if they as family members did not fully understand those matters, they definitely had some idea.

Besides, the reward notice mentioned the clothes of the two criminals, as well as that motorcycle. It was impossible for their families to completely miss the connection to those two losers.

Despite their suspicions, they were after all family. Before the police station announced the arrest, they all held a sliver of hope: maybe it wasn’t those two losers behind it, right?

That’s normal, anyone would think that way.

But as much as they hoped, deep down they had an inkling – it’s very likely that those two losers had crossed some big shot this time – someone capable of issuing a 200,000 yuan reward had to be some sort of big shot in the eyes of ordinary people.

Worried, even as they lay anxiously in bed, they were sleeping fitfully, easily awakening at the slightest disturbance.

Finally, as dawn was about to break and they could no longer resist sleep, about to slip into deeper slumber, something unexpected happened.

First, there was a loud bang, followed by a scattering sound of dirt, broken tiles, and falling wooden sticks as a large hole appeared in the roof of the tiled house. This sound repeated itself amidst the shock of the family as they woke up.

Bang, rustle, plop, crack...

Bang, rustle, plop plop plop, crack...

Once they realized what was happening, the family members started shouting and some tried to run outside. But there was no need to panic and flee; by the time they prepared to get up and run, they found that the roof had stopped collapsing.
