Chapter 165 Fang Weiguo's Invitation
As time went on, the officers who had been investigating returned to the police station one after another, bringing with them the relevant personnel.
The police station suddenly became bustling with activity, and there weren't even enough interrogation rooms, so they directly used Niulanshan's office.
The person being interrogated was completely bewildered, not knowing why he had suddenly given himself away, when there had been no suspicion about him before. Seeing the police's unwavering certainty, he assumed they had found crucial evidence and confessed everything without much questioning.
The reason the police were so certain was because they heard from the first group that, as Lin Xi had said, they had indeed found the murder weapon behind the wall.
Not only that, Wu Zheng also found the murderer directly, just as Lin Xi had told him.
All doubts and incomprehension turned into blind worship.
Stop making excuses. Lin Xi said you are the murderer, so you must be the murderer.
That resolute expression gradually eroded the killer's psychological defenses.
The police station was incredibly busy, but the atmosphere was like Chinese New Year—joyful and festive, as if they wanted to cook a few plates of dumplings to celebrate.
In one day, they cracked several major cases, and justice was served two years ago. They can finally give the families a satisfactory explanation.
The rewards afterward will be substantial; even if it's just running an errand, you'll still be credited.
All of this is thanks to Lin Xi.
Lin Xi also reaped considerable rewards, with Love Coins pouring in. It's unimaginable how wealthy she would be if she could finish browsing the entire archives.
Fang Weiguo could no longer contain his excitement, and he looked at Lin Xi as if she were a rare treasure.
Niulanshan treated Fang Weiguo like a wolf, saying, "Xiaoxi, you've worked hard today. It's getting late, go home and rest."
Before Lin Xi could reply, Fang Weiguo said anxiously, "Xiao Xi, let me take you home."
Niu Lanshan quickly declined on Lin Xi's behalf, saying, "No need to trouble Director Fang, there are so many young men in the police station."
Fang Weiguo grabbed Niulanshan's arm to prevent him from calling for help, saying, "The young men are all busy with interrogations and taking statements. The important thing is to get down to business."
Lin Xi understood his meaning and said directly, "Director, is there something you want to talk to me about? Why don't we talk here?"
Fang Weiguo was extremely satisfied with Lin Xi, not only because of her superb crime-solving skills, but also because of her excellent judgment.
He winked at Niulanshan, signaling him to leave, but Niulanshan acted as if he hadn't seen him and didn't move.
This guy is clueless, not even half as good as Xiao Xi. Oh well, Lao Niu is still quite trustworthy. If he had any problems, Lin Xi wouldn't have had the chance to sit here at all.
"Xiao Xi, there's a plan to purge the mole within the police force, and an investigation team has been secretly formed. I'd like to invite you to join."
Niu Lanshan thought to himself, "Sure enough, Fang Weiguo is the kind of person who won't act until he sees a rabbit."
"Director Fang, could you please be more explicit? For example, how many people died during the last investigation team we formed?"
With him around, no one can fool Xiaoxi. This also serves as a reminder to Lin Xi not to agree to anything easily.
Fang Weiguo coughed awkwardly twice. "Of course, there are risks, but we will absolutely guarantee your safety. Please rest assured."
After all, with your talent, your future is limitless, which is far more important than this plan.
Moreover, you only need to observe and report discreetly; you don't need to stand out. Your age is the best smokescreen; no one will notice you.
Niu Lanshan, disregarding the risk of offending anyone, asked directly, "Director Fang, how can you guarantee Xiao Xi's safety?"
If the cleanup plan conflicts with Xiaoxi's safety, can you guarantee that the higher-ups would rather the plan fail than let Xiaoxi be harmed?
Fang Weiguo thought for only a few seconds before solemnly replying, "Xiaoxi's safety is our top priority. Even if the plan fails, we will protect her."
Such a promising talent shouldn't be wasted on such a sordid affair.
In recent years, too many people have died. They were all elites, geniuses one in a million, who should have had bright futures, but died before they could show their talents.
They will never let that happen again.
Seeing the two of them talking back and forth, Lin Xi spread her hands and interrupted, "I didn't say I was going!"
Niu Lanshan was stunned. He never expected Xiao Xi to refuse. All along, Lin Xi's image in his mind was that of a helpful and enthusiastic person who always helped others.
Fang Weiguo was already mentally prepared for rejection, so he wasn't surprised. "Xiao Xi, is there something you're worried about?"
Lin Xi shook her head. "I'm happy to do things for the country, but I don't necessarily have to go there in person. I still have to go to school."
Yes, that's right. She was afraid that if she went there, she wouldn't have time to take advantage of the system's benefits.
The key point is that she already knew about this cleanup plan, which was called "Operation Shadow Drive".
She knew perfectly well who the mole was.
All the moles came from an international spy organization called "Dark Falcon Alliance".
It has a respectable name, but it's actually a crazy organization that's anti-social and anti-human, and they wish the whole world would perish.
I don't know how the leader of that organization brainwashed his subordinates, making them all so determined to exterminate all of humanity.
They have people in the police force and the military; they're like cockroaches, infiltrating everywhere.
The country paid a heavy price to completely destroy this organization, and countless people were sacrificed.
There was even a talent gap, and it took a full ten years to recover.
Ten years later, the nation was strong enough, and a new generation of outstanding talents grew up. They painfully revealed this earth-shattering secret that was etched into history.
People then realized that the continuous stream of officials falling from grace during that period was not simply due to corruption and bribery.
Lin Xi had naturally memorized such an important matter long ago, especially on the day she took the memory pill, she wrote down the list in her mind and put it in the safest glass chamber.
However, this list cannot be given directly to Director Fang. If it is leaked and the people on the list escape, causing the originally successful plan to fail, she will become a sinner for all time.
Fang Weiguo didn't understand what she meant. How could they catch the mole if they didn't get involved personally?
Lin Xi quickly gave him an answer, an answer that far exceeded his expectations.
"Director Fang, I would like to ask for Huo Chuan's contact information. Please also pass on my message to him so that he can cooperate with me and update me on the progress of the investigation every day. I will be in contact with him."
Fang Weiguo's eyes widened in shock, his jaw nearly dropping. How could she know Huo Chuan?!
Niu Lanshan didn't recognize Huo Chuan, but judging from Fang Weiguo's surprised expression, he was clearly no ordinary person.
"Director Fang, who is Huo Chuan?"
Fang Weiguo looked puzzled. "He was personally selected by the old man and just joined the investigation team."
Niu Lanshan understood; it seemed Xiao Xi had foreseen it.
Fang Weiguo was not surprised to see Niu Lanshan, and he understood. Obviously, Lao Niu had not told him the truth. Lin Xi's abilities were not as simple as he had said.
"Director Fang, is that alright? I'm quite pressed for time. This matter can't be investigated in a short period of time, and it will interfere with my studies."
