84: The murderer is in disguise; are you a police officer from the police station?
“Young Master Kang, keep an eye on them. I need to think,” Ye Lin said, then walked straight into an empty private room.
He needed to think quietly.
Sigh, all the cases he had solved recently were about fighting and killing. He was a little unaccustomed to one that required thinking.
At this moment, he somewhat missed the dog system. How great would it be if it gave him skills like 'seeing through weaknesses' or 'finding clues,' saving him the trouble of thinking.
But since there isn't one, let me, Detective Ye, put my brain to work.
Ye Lin casually found a few items and arranged them on the floor to represent the club's layout and the victim's position. He stared intently at the setup, his mind rapidly turning.
First, regardless of how he was killed, it was murder.
Then, the time of death was within the ten-odd minutes during his dispute with Young Master Fang, or rather, during the latter part of the dispute, because the commotion then was so great that it attracted other people.
He remembered that he and A Chang were fighting in the middle of the corridor, and with Young Master Fang standing there, no one dared to pass. The fire door at the back was locked, so one thing was certain: the killer did not leave; he was among this group of people.
What Ye Lin needed to do now was to find the killer, or simply tell this discovery to the police who would take over later, letting them investigate one by one, which he believed would yield results.
However, Ye Lin still wanted to try finding it himself; the dream of being a detective is also one of every boy's dreams.
There were over thirty people present, and a total of 6-7 private rooms.
First, from what he understood, Young Master Kang and Young Master Fang should not be the culprits. The sons of such high-ranking officials generally wouldn't do such things, or at least wouldn't do it themselves.
So now, who was the one who did it?
Killed with a single stab, it was most likely a man, and probably a man with a certain amount of strength.
Should he call every man to try?
That didn't seem feasible. One, it would take a lot of time, and two, others might conceal their strength.
Jinhai Club, a high-end club, with a membership system and complete security, how could someone be killed?
Suddenly, an idea popped into Ye Lin's mind: this was premeditated murder, but no matter how it was premeditated, getting in was a big problem, unless he was a member or a staff member. There was also a possibility that the killer was disguised.
If that were the case, Ye Lin had experience. Lord Mas Third Eye specialized in breaking all sorts of disguises.
Acting on his thought, Ye Lin decided to go out and take a look first.
As soon as he stepped out of the private room, he saw a group of police officers had already arrived but were being blocked by Young Master Kang.
“Team Leader Guan, this is a case. Please step aside. The sooner we get in, the more clues we can gather,” a leading police officer earnestly advised.
“You're Team Leader Guan, right? I know your procedures for handling cases. My dad also told me; I respect the rules. However, there are already police officers inside handling the case. You'll have to wait,” Young Master Kang remained unmoved.
Team Leader Guan wore a bitter smile. How did he get such a task?
He was already a bit scared when he received the alarm call. Jinhai Club! The people inside were either rich or powerful, and they were all young masters. He didn't know which important figure had died.
No matter who it was, they would be blamed for mismanagement.
So he rushed over in a hurry, even bringing a gun, not to arrest people, but mainly to protect these young masters.
He didn't expect to see Young Master Kang standing in the middle as soon as he entered.
Team Leader Guan felt his eyelids start to twitch. As the eldest young master of the provincial capital, they, the law enforcement officers of the provincial capital, certainly knew him.
Why was this master here? But he heard that Secretary Kang's family education was quite strict, so he probably would cooperate.
However, Team Leader Guan subconsciously looked to the side again and almost turned around and left immediately. “Damn it! Why is this troublemaker here too?”
“Team Leader Guan, why are you leaving as soon as you see me? Aren't you going to handle the case?” Fang Yaowei shouted from afar.
Team Leader Guan saw that he had been recognized. There was nothing he could do now, so he could only walk over dejectedly and obediently called out, “Young Master Kang, Young Master Fang, both of you are here.”
Fang Yaowei said coldly, “Team Leader Guan, were you trying to run just now? Not going to handle the case?”
“No, no, Young Master Fang, I just forgot something and then remembered I seemed to have brought it,” Team Leader Guan started to lie.
There was nothing he could do. He wasn't that afraid of Young Master Kang; he still followed some rules.
This Young Master Fang, Fang Yaowei, was the son of Fang Weiguo, the number two in the provincial capital.
Unlike Kang Dejun, who was an 'airborne' number one, Fang Weiguo was a native, pure-blooded local with great influence in the provincial capital. To put it bluntly, half the people in the provincial capital could be considered his subordinates.
Therefore, Fang Weiguo was very strong and did not back down at all when facing the number one, Kang Dejun. Mainly because he had been operating for a long time, Kang Dejun had no choice.
And Fang Yaowei was Fang Weiguo's only son, the type of big villain. He did bad things, but he never showed up, or there was evidence showing he was unrelated. Plus, Fang Weiguo protected his son, so the police had no way to deal with him.
There were once police officers who wanted to deal with him, but they were all released due to insufficient evidence. Later, Young Master Fang retaliated, leading to minor disciplinary actions or even resignations, so no one dared to provoke this living Yama.
However, Young Master Fang had one good point: he caused trouble but didn't make it big; he did bad things but generally avoided serious crimes. So his old man could protect him; otherwise, even immortals couldn't.
Looking at Team Leader Guan, who kept staring at him, Young Master Fang smiled triumphantly, “Today, Young Master Kang is in charge. You listen to Young Master Kang.”
“Aye.” Team Leader Guan casually responded.
“Hmph!” Kang Shaojie snorted, and Team Leader Guan then realized, damn it, he responded incorrectly.
The two young masters were openly and secretly fighting here. It was bad enough that he came, but then he listened to Young Master Fang's words and went to accept Young Master Kang's command.
That would displease both sides! Young Master Kang would think he was listening to Young Master Fang, and Young Master Fang would see him helping Young Master Kang.
Why is my life so bitter?
Now, Young Master Kang was strictly following Ye Lin's instructions, not letting anyone out or in.
So Team Leader Guan was blocked outside.
Finally, Ye Lin came out, and Young Master Kang looked at him expectantly, “Officer Ye, are there any clues?”
Team Leader Guan looked inside and saw that the so-called Officer Ye was a young man in plain clothes, clearly a police officer with very little experience, probably having handled few cases.
“Brother, where are you from?” Team Leader Guan shouted across Young Master Kang.
Ye Lin looked at Team Leader Guan and replied, “I am Ye Lin from Baiyun Police Station in Xishan District, Yuezhou City.”
“Yuezhou? Police Station?” Team Leader Guan was stunned.
Damn it, you, a police officer from Yuezhou, came to our provincial capital to handle a case? Are you still following the rules? And you're from a Police Station?
