Jiangdu Inn, a small inn located by the river that is easy to overlook, in the complex area of old residential quarters in the southern part of the city.
He chose this place as his hideout, probably for convenience when he needs to run away.
Lin Fei and Xia Ying got off the bus, the two of them leaning against each other, as if a couple who had come to open a room, without arousing any suspicion.
"Lin Fei, are you sure that the car thief who stole Lin Ya-xuan's car lives here? If you dare to lie to me, you're dead for sure."
Xia Yingmeng raised her head and glared at Lin Fei, wishing she could slap away the salty pig hand on his waist, but for the sake of solving the case, she had to endure it.
It wasn't Xia Yingmeng who suspected Lin Fei, but rather this neighborhood, which was the focus of investigation after two police officers were sacrificed by the hospital. Several surprise inspections didn't find any suspicious individuals, yet Lin Fei suddenly said that the thief who stole Lin Yaxuan's BMW was right here, so how could Xia Yingmeng believe it?
If it weren't for Lin Fei insisting that if they couldn't find the person and the car, their French kiss bet would be off, Xia Yingmeng wouldn't have changed into casual clothes to pretend to be a couple with Lin Fei here.
As for Lin Fei calling Xia Yingmeng over, it was also because of her identity as a criminal police officer, which would make it easier to handle some things.
Soon Lin Fei and Xia Yingmeng hugged each other into the Jiangdu Hotel, the hotel owner, a woman with heavy makeup, hurriedly came up to greet them, intentionally or unintentionally taking two more glances at Xia Yingmeng.
"Are you two going to take a clocked room or a standard guest room?" the landlady asked politely, without showing any suspicion towards Lin Fei and Xia Yingmeng who were hugging each other.
"The hourly room is not enough, of course it's a standard room." Lin Fei generously took out two hundred yuan from his wallet and put it on the counter, "This is the room fee, if there's any change left, consider it as a tip!"
The landlady was overjoyed when she heard this, and quickly opened a room for Lin Fei. She saw Lin Fei and Xia Yingmeng off as they went upstairs, without suspecting anything.
She went up to the second floor, and when she saw that there was no one around, she grabbed a piece of flesh on Lin Fei's waist with her right hand and threatened fiercely: "Without the house key, how can we open the door? You won't make me spend the night in this haunted place with you, will you?"
"You think too much, this broken door can't even stop me."
Lin Fei directly pushed Xia Yingmeng and walked straight to the room where Hu Zheng was staying, choosing the most direct and violent way to open the door, with a single kick.
Bang!
A loud crash, the originally not-so-sturdy door of the small inn was instantly kicked open by Lin Fei. In the room, Hu Zheng, who was lying on the bed playing with his phone, immediately dropped his phone and looked up at the sound.
The door was kicked open, and he was so frightened that his face changed color. He rolled over on the bed like a carp, got up immediately, and fled as fast as an old mouse that had seen a cat, with a speed that was almost unbelievable. He rushed to the window and prepared to jump out.
Just at that moment, a hand suddenly landed on his shoulder, and before Hu Zheng could react, he felt his body lifted off the ground.
Bang!
By the time he reacted, his whole body had already collided intimately with the bed. Even if the bed was soft, it still knocked him dizzy.
"Which son of a bitch dares to throw me, Hu Ye, around? Are you looking to die?" Hu Zheng got up from the bed, shook his dizzy head and fiercely roared at Lin Fei.
"Hu Zheng, I didn't expect it was you?"
Xia Ying's astonished voice echoed in the room. As the deputy captain of the criminal police team, she knew that Hu Zheng, a convicted thief, was not surprising at all. For the car theft case, she had even summoned Hu Zheng for questioning, but at that time he had an alibi and she hadn't suspected him much.
Hearing Xia Yingmeng's voice, Hu Zheng turned his head to see that the newcomer was indeed Xia Yingmeng. His heart skipped a beat as he quickly put on a smile on his ferocious face: "Officer Xia, which act are you performing today?"
"No nonsense, someone has accused you of stealing a luxury car. I advise you to confess honestly now, leniency for those who confess, severity for those who resist is the rule, which you also understand. Now if you confess, there's still a chance to make amends and reduce your sentence." Xia Yimeng said in an extremely official tone.
"Who's accusing me? Which bastard is accusing me, let him come out and confront me face to face." Hu Zheng covered up his unease with a loud shout, but his evasive gaze only aroused Xiaoyan Meng's suspicion.
Xia Yingmeng shifted her mouth, hinting that the person who accused him was right behind him. Hu Zheng turned around and sized up Lin Fei with a glance, his eyes darting back and forth before he hastily shouted: "Officer Xia, don't think you can frame me by just finding anyone, I don't know this person and I've never stolen any car."
"Alright, isn't it? Let's go back to the police station and we'll know." Xiaoyan said, seeing that Hu Zheng didn't admit it, so she decided to take him back to the police station for questioning.
She also knew that this Hu Zheng was an old slicker, the kind who wouldn't shed a tear unless he saw the coffin, and even then only if you caught him red-handed or produced irrefutable evidence.
Lin Fei's eyebrows furrowed at the words, today was the deadline for his bet with Lin Yaxuan, he still hoped to drive Lin Yaxuan's BMW to attend the party and give her a surprise.
Incidentally won that beauty's sweet kiss.
"Ying Meng, why don't you go out for five minutes and let me try? I guarantee that after five minutes, no matter what you ask him, he will open his mouth and tell you."
Lin Fei's words made Xia Yingmeng feel a bit unbelievable, this Hu Zheng was notorious for being stubborn, and the idea that he could be persuaded to open his mouth in just five minutes was something Xia Yingmeng didn't believe at all.
Unless...
"No way, you can't use violent interrogation on a suspect, he has human rights."
She thought that Lin Fei had opened himself up, and must have wanted to use violent means to force Hu Zheng to speak, otherwise Lin Fei would not have been able to open Hu Zheng's mouth in just five minutes.
Lin Fei was not deterred after being rejected and smiled slightly at Xia Yingmeng: "Who said I wanted to use violent interrogation? If you don't believe me, let's make a bet. Five minutes later, if he doesn't speak up, our previous bet will be invalid. I win, the previous bet continues, plus you have to give me a kiss now, how about it?"
Xia Yingmeng was thinking about all the sinister plots of Lin Fei in her mind, but it seemed that except for violent interrogation, it was almost impossible to make Hu Zheng speak within five minutes.
Thinking of this, Xiaoyi Meng held a glimmer of hope in her mind, thinking that she could use this gamble to make the original gamble invalid. She gritted her teeth and agreed: "Fine, let's gamble. The five-minute countdown begins now. I won't leave, I'll stay here to supervise you."
To prevent Lin Fei from using violence, Xia Yingmeng chose to supervise on site.
Seeing the two people so happily selling themselves, Hu Zheng had a sense of foreboding in his heart. Looking at Lin Fei who was approaching step by step, he asked nervously: "What do you want to do? I warn you not to mess around, be careful or I'll call the police and catch you."
A thief actually uses police to threaten himself, Lin Fei almost laughed when he heard this.
"Don't be nervous, I'm not going to hit you. Even if I wanted to, Chief Xia is standing right there, and I don't have the guts for that!"
Lin Fei laughed and said, like a cat pouncing on a mouse, instantly subdued Hu Zheng, using four silver needles to pierce into four different parts of Hu Zheng's body.
Suddenly, Hu Zheng found that his hands and feet began to feel numb, becoming increasingly paralyzed, making it impossible for him to control his limbs according to his brain's instructions, a thread of terror flashing in his eyes.
"Bastard, what are you doing? Why can't I move my hands and feet? Officer Xia, someone is being violently interrogated, hurry up and stop it."
The unknown terror made Hu Zheng have an unprecedented fear, and he could only think of Xia Yingmeng for help.
"He didn't punch or kick you, and he didn't cause any harm. This isn't violent interrogation, so just bear with it for five minutes."
At this time, Xia Yingmeng also began to feel a little uneasy in her heart.
Lin Fei didn't hesitate and stabbed the fifth silver needle into Hu Zheng's smile point, instantly making Hu Zheng laugh uncontrollably.
"Hahaha...... why...... hahaha... I clearly don't want to laugh...... hahaha..."
A short sentence was interrupted by laughter six or seven times, Hu Zheng's tears almost laughed out, Lin Fei stood aside with a sly smile and asked: "I'll give you one last chance, hurry up and confess honestly, otherwise I'll enter the second phase, guaranteeing that you won't be able to laugh or cry."
"I didn't steal... haha car... five minutes... haha... I can make it through, hahaha!"
Hu Zheng laughed so hard that his stomach hurt, he wished he could hold his belly with both hands and roll around on the bed, but unfortunately, his four limbs were numb and he couldn't move at all.
"You're on! I like that, let's get even more intense, I guarantee you'll be thrilled to the max!" Lin Fei sneered with a smile, preparing to use his interrogation killer move, excluding violence, to win the two bets.
