People were still hesitant, but Li Xiangnan already believed that there was no time to lose.
Wan Shuisheng acted swiftly. In order to prevent him from doing anything detrimental to the prison and the prisoners, all the police officers quickly left the temporary command post and returned to the prison at Li Xiangnan's call.
Upon seeing that the police officers had all returned, Deputy Warden Shi Yang and Cheng Sanmin, the section chief of the Third Prison District, rushed to the prison's temporary office, looking very nervous.
"Supervisor Shi, please bring these people over. I need their cooperation on something!"
Li Xiangnan has always been a cautious person, and when faced with potential dangers, he will subconsciously take corresponding countermeasures.
Although he believed there was a high probability that Wan Shuisheng wanted to kill Zhao Jinzhong, the warehouse manager, on the way back, he still identified a few people who "might" be involved in the Xu Sheng case but had kept quiet so far.
"Advisor Li, please wait a moment, I'll go call him right away!" Cheng Sanmin immediately turned and left.
Only Shi Yang, a senior manager, remained at the scene.
Li Xiangnan waited for a while, but when he didn't see the warden come over, he asked, "Warden Shi, is Warden Tong not in prison today?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Yang, fearing he might have been impolite, quickly explained, "Advisor Li, I'm sorry, the autumn rains have been heavy these past few days, and Prisoner Tong's old leg pain has flared up. He told me that he would apologize to you if you had the chance to come to the prison, as he is truly unwell!"
"It's okay, I was just asking!" Li Xiangnan waved his hand, not taking it seriously.
However, I kept a watchful eye on things.
Since the Xu Sheng case, the famous prison director Tong Yun has not made a public appearance. Instead, it was the deputy prison director Shi Yang who coordinated things.
To remain calm after such a major incident, Tong Yun is truly a talent!
"Advisor Li!" Soon, Cheng Sanmin arrived at the door with several people, came in, and greeted them.
"Supervisor Shi, please ask that those on leave temporarily not take their days off for the next few days. Strengthen security in all aspects of the prison. We will also send more personnel from the public security department. We must ensure the safety of everyone!"
Upon hearing Li Xiangnan's words, Shi Yang's face immediately stiffened, and he subconsciously asked, "Advisor Li, Captain Guo, has something happened?"
"Steward Shi, don't ask any questions, just cooperate with us!"
So far, Shi Yang has had no problems, but Li Xiangnan cannot guarantee that his judgment is 100% correct.
If he's been bribed too, then we're doomed!
"Okay, we'll cooperate!" Fortunately, Shi Yang didn't say much. He tactfully went out the door, waved to the group of people who came over, and instructed them, "Make sure you cooperate with Consultant Li and Team Leader Guo!"
"Yes!" the group replied, and Cheng Sanmin led them into the house.
The group stood there awkwardly, none of them knowing what had happened. When they saw Li Xiangnan's sharp gaze fixed on their faces, their expressions turned grim.
Cheng Sanmin stood by, unaware of what was going on.
Guo Qian stood by the door, glanced at Cheng Sanmin, whose face paled, gave an awkward smile, and walked out on his own. Guo Qian then closed the door behind him.
Once the room was quiet, Li Xiangnan's gaze swept across the faces of the selected individuals like a knife, and he spoke without any mercy.
"Xu Sheng is dead, he died in your prison..."
A sudden tremor ran down their faces.
Li Xiangnan continued, "Ding Erpian accidentally fell from the scaffolding and became a vegetable, unable to speak anymore!"
Their faces turned ashen.
"During this period, Han Li received a note from the murderer asking him to cooperate. I have reason to believe that he was the murderer's previous target, but he has already been placed under our protection."
Their faces turned deathly pale.
"The reason I called you all here is to remind you that you can remain silent, but once we catch the murderer and he reveals the truth, the meaning will be completely different!"
Brush it.
The five people immediately exchanged glances out of the corner of their eyes.
This detail, in the eyes of Li Xiangnan and Guo Qian, was quite significant.
"Now, I'm giving you a few days to consider whether or not to confess. Of course, if you really have a stain on your record!"
Suddenly, one of the guards looked up angrily and said, "What makes you think we have a problem? And what makes you think you're locking us up? This is illegal..."
"Why should I lock you up?" Li Xiangnan suddenly laughed. "Of course I don't want to lock you up!"
He pulled the paper out of his pocket, waved it, and handed it over, chuckling, "You are perfectly free to refuse to cooperate with our work and go back to your posts. But I can't guarantee you'll survive three days! This note is the deadline the murderer, Old Snake Wan, has to clean up the traces!"
"what?"
Upon hearing this, the people present shuddered instantly, looking at the note as if they were seeing the Book of Life and Death, and immediately wilted.
Li Xiangnan turned his head and said, "Captain Guo, have Lao Wei give each of them a roll of stationery and a fountain pen, and let them stay in jail for three days!"
"Okay!" Guo Qian waved. "Let's go! Get out!"
"Zhao Jinzhong, stay behind!" Li Xiangnan called out.
Zhao Jinzhong paused, his face paling even more. After Guo Qian led the men away, he was so frightened that he stammered, "You... what are you going to do?"
Li Xiangnan walked over, tugged at the other person's clothes, and calmly asked, "Did you scrape the rust off Xu Sheng's window?"
"..." Zhao Jinzhong shrank his neck, staring at Li Xiangnan as if he had seen a ghost, without saying a word.
Seeing the sweat on his face, Li Xiangnan smiled coldly, "You've done a lot of things for him, haven't you? Do you know that the person he most wants to kill is you?"
"..." Zhao Jinzhong suddenly grabbed the table next to him, his legs visibly buckling.
Li Xiangnan stared at him, narrowing his eyes, and said, "Tell me... what would happen if I ignored you and let you commit suicide in prison?"
suicide!
Just like Xu Sheng!
Same as Ding Er Pian!
Become a sacrificial offering to the Ten Thousand Old Serpents!
Zhao Jinzhong collapsed to the ground, crying, "I'll cooperate, I'll cooperate, I'll say everything, I'll tell you everything..."
“But I don’t have time to listen right now!” Li Xiangnan smiled victoriously and gestured outwards, saying, “Write down your questions in detail in the letter and explain them properly. In return, I will guarantee your safety and capture Wan Laoshe to eliminate any future troubles!”
"Detective, Detective, please, you must catch him! I'll tell you everything, I'll go back and write it down right away! I don't want to die, I don't want to die!" Zhao Jinzhong kowtowed on the ground and was quickly dragged away by Guo Qian and Wei Jingfei.
After a while, Guo Qian returned with a complete set of Zhao Jinzhong's clothes in his hand. He handed it over with concern, watching Li Xiangnan put on Zhao Jinzhong's clothes and hat.
"Xiao Li, this is too dangerous! You said it yourself, Wan Shuisheng's methods of killing are likely more complex and bizarre than we imagined! If he really chooses Zhao Jinzhong from among these five people, your danger level will be at its maximum!"
"Captain Guo, if I don't go to hell, who will? Sacrifices are necessary to catch him! Besides, aren't four other comrades also facing the same danger?"
Li Xiangnan shook his head, his voice resounding: "Moreover, Wan Shuisheng is skilled at secretly manipulating people's hearts and the environment to kill, not in direct combat. With you all around me, what do I have to fear! Only if I personally impersonate Zhao Jinzhong can I accurately seize the opportunity to catch him red-handed!"
He turned to look at Guo Qian: "Most importantly, I want him to understand that his scheming, which he is so proud of, has long been seen through by me! What I want to destroy is his pride!"
"..." Guo Qian looked at the young man, his throat tightened, a surge of passion quickly rushed to his head, his eyes burned, and he quickly nodded.
The plan was successfully implemented in five regions.
Li Xiangnan changed into Zhao Jinzhong's clothes, slightly hunching his back to assume the other's identity.
He stayed on duty until dusk the next day, and then, carrying a bottle of bulk liquor and peanuts wrapped in oil paper, he imitated Zhao Jinzhong's gait and demeanor as he entered the warehouse management office.
He deliberately left a small crack in the window.
The kerosene lamp inside the room flickered on and off.
An autumn rain arrived as expected.
A hunt quietly unfolded amidst the deathly silence...
