The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife
Chapter 154 - 154 154 Xun Long

154: Chapter 154 Xun Long 154: Chapter 154 Xun Long “Drug trafficking, human trafficking, forcing the decent into prostitution, scum of the earth,” Ye Shikai said as he looked at the file folder Song Tian handed over, which meticulously detailed the profile of this prison escapee.

The escapee was named Xun Long, known as Lord Long, a former notorious drug lord involved in the full spectrum of criminal activities including drugs, gambling, and prostitution, who once wreaked havoc in the southern region of Huaxia with a powerful criminal empire under his control.

However, this force had been severely weakened by the country’s crackdown in recent years.

Just last month, the police and military joined forces to capture Xun Long in a drug factory raid, bringing him back to Yanjing for trial.

Originally, the death sentence was certain, but now a jailbreak had occurred, right in the police prison.

If it were just any ordinary criminal, Song Tian’s pressure wouldn’t be so great.

But this man was a local tyrant, closely monitored from above; they had just let a big fish slip through the net.

“Mr.

Song, why does this file of Xun Long only have his criminal records but not some basic information from before?” Ye Shikai inquired.

Hearing this, Song Tian couldn’t help but sigh helplessly, shaking his head, “How would this kind of person leave so much information for the police to track him down?”

Ye Shikai nodded.

People like Xun Long were like sewer rats, always ready to flee at the slightest disturbance.

Otherwise, the police wouldn’t have expended so much effort to catch him.

“Alright, leave it to me.

I’ll do my best,” Ye Shikai told Song Tian.

Having learned top-level investigation techniques during his time in the military, Ye Shikai boasted superiority over police officers when it came to crime scene investigation, and considering that Song Tian was his father’s comrade-in-arms, it was his unshirkable duty both emotionally and logically.

“Good, I’ll trouble you then, Ye,” Song Tian said with a relieved smile, and then led Ye Shikai to the scene.

With Director Song’s backing, everyone showed utmost respect to Ye Shikai, and they answered any question he asked without hesitation.

If it hadn’t been for the commotion caused by that naive young officer earlier, Ye Shikai might not have made such smooth progress.

“Hey, have you found anything?” Zhang Ting, who was rather impatient, couldn’t sit still after an hour and hurried over to ask.

“Don’t rush me, investigating a crime scene isn’t that easy,” Ye Shikai said as he carefully examined the traces on the ground and muttered, “Either playing with guns or knives, so fierce.

See how you’ll get married in the future.”

“Jerk, what are you saying?” the sharp-eared Zhang Ting retorted, almost going berserk like a cat that had its tail stepped on.

“Stop making noise, or do you want me to tell Director Song?” Ye Shikai’s word instantly made Zhang Ting behave, grinding her teeth in frustration – she was the one with a weakness after all.

“Alright, I’ve finished examining the scene,” said Ye Shikai after a few more minutes.

“Really?

Did you find anything?” Zhang Ting impatiently tugged at Ye Shikai’s arm, shaking it continuously.

“Nothing much,” Ye Shikai said with a slight smile, grabbing a cup of water from the table and gulping it down.

Zhang Ting’s face nearly turned blue with anger, her fists clenched tightly.

What happened to the expert they said could solve cases in a day?

A deadly aura began to emanate from her, prompting the nearby officers to quietly slip away.

“Don’t get ahead of yourself, I haven’t finished yet,” said Ye Shikai, looking at the stick clenched tightly in Zhang Ting’s hands, his face lined with frustration, but he craftily smiled, “Finding nothing, that’s actually the biggest finding.”

“What do you mean?” Zhang Ting asked, puzzled, looking at Ye Shikai.

“At this crime scene, I didn’t see any traces whatsoever, as if no one had ever been here,” explained Ye Shikai leisurely, “but everyone, more or less, leaves some traces behind, and yet there are absolutely none here.”

“Could it be that ghosts helped him escape?” Zhang Ting suggested, and Ye Shikai rolled his eyes, giving her forehead a knock.

“Idiot, what ghosts?

A scene without traces is the most significant trace and the criminal’s downfall because no crime is perfect.

However, this criminal managed to be so perfect that it’s suspicious.”

“What exactly do you mean?” Zhang Ting, who was a bit slow on the uptake, still didn’t get Ye Shikai’s meaning.

Ye Shikai looked around at the officers nearby, then abruptly grabbed Zhang Ting’s arm, pulling her into an interrogation room.

“Is this room soundproof?” Ye Shikai asked.

“It’s soundproof.”

“Alright then.

Tell me, from the time Xun Long was brought into the police station this past month, has there been any changes in the police station, like office arrangements or personnel replacements?” Ye Shikai asked.

“Well, there hasn’t been any significant changes in office arrangements or key areas.

As for personnel, now that I think about it, the janitor who was always responsible for cleaning the police station took a day off for some reason, but then came back the next day, nothing unusual about that,” Zhang Ting finally recalled after some thought.

“The problem might lie there,” said Ye Shikai, “Did he truly have no unusual behavior after his return?”

“Nope, after his return, his cleaning was impeccable, and we didn’t even need to remind him.

His work every day was like a…”

“Like a robot without any errors, right?” interrupted Ye Shikai, as Zhang Ting expressed a look of sudden realization.

“If he were a normal person, no matter how careful, there would inevitably be some slips in his work.

Only a true assassin could be flawless.

His mistake was in doing everything too perfectly.

Faults are bound to happen unintentionally, but flawlessness is never by accident,” said Ye Shikai, his face revealing a confident smile.

“Furthermore, over the past month, the location where Xun Long was detained hasn’t changed.

Only someone who has been laying low in the police station for a long time could be so familiar with the internal layout to perfectly execute a lock-picking jailbreak.

And as a cleaner, he surely could have done that.”

“I understand what you mean,” said Zhang Ting, excitedly standing up and slamming the table.

“I suspect that if we’re not mistaken, the original janitor is already dead, and the one who returned was just an imposter,” Ye Shikai stated plainly.

“What?

That criminal has been in the police station all along?” Zhang Ting said, feeling outraged and ashamed that such a daring criminal had been operating right under their noses.

Leaving the interrogation room, Zhang Ting grabbed the collar of an officer, exclaiming, “Where is that janitor?”

“Uh, Ting, he has already… resigned and left,” the officer stuttered, frightened by Zhang Ting’s actions.

“Damnit,” Zhang Ting cursed.

“Calm down, just give me the janitor’s address, and we will head there now,” Ye Shikai patted Zhang Ting’s shoulder, trying to reassure her.
