Han Ning knocked on the glass. Ya Cai noticed it and stood up to leave the interrogation room. As soon as he went out, he bumped into Han Ning.
“Sigh… this woman is too stubborn. How can she still keep up the act? It’s been two hours and she’s still not willing to confess…”
Ya Cai started complaining when he saw Han Ning. He had no idea what to do with the woman inside.
“I don’t think she’s lying. She looked calm and sincere from beginning to end. She wasn’t pretending…”
“What? You mean we really captured the wrong person?!”
Han Ning was interrupted by Ya Cai.
“Yes, I think we did catch the wrong person.”
“When you go in later, you should mainly ask about the situation of the owner of the villa on the left of her house…”
Han Ning’s words confused Ya Cai even more. Although he did not understand what he wanted to know about the situation of the owner of the house next door, he could no longer do anything about the woman opposite him. At this moment, Ya Cai could only listen to Han Ning’s orders.
Ya Cai returned to the interrogation room. This time, he asked another question. As expected, Ke Qing had said more.
“The owner of the villa next to mine should be a woman. She lives in seclusion and very few people have seen her.”
“Sometimes, she would leave for half a month. No one knows her exact identity or work…”
Ke Qing carefully recalled her neighbor’s matter. As she spoke, she gradually frowned. She realized that her neighbor seemed to be overly mysterious. She didn’t even know what the other party looked like…
“You must have captured the wrong person. My neighbor is your true target, right?”
After Ke Qing finished speaking, Ya Cai’s expression changed. Since Han Ning asked about the neighbor, did it mean that he had already discovered that something was wrong?
“We’ll ask the questions here. The police don’t need outsiders to tell them what to do. Doctor Ke Qing, you better be telling the truth.”
“I’ll leave things here for now. You can leave after we confirm your innocence.”
After saying that, Ya Cai stood up and left the interrogation room. His mind was filled with what Han Ning had told him just now. He urgently needed an explanation from the other party.
In the office, the members of the special investigation team sat by the table dejectedly. After all, they had rushed around at night for nothing. It was very likely that they had captured the wrong person.
“Han Ning, do you have an idea? Did you find anything from the information you told me to ask?” Ya Cai sat for a while and asked Han Ning.
“Before I left just now, I saw a figure on the balcony of the house next to Ke Qing’s villa. This figure had been watching our every move. After discovering that I was watching, the figure entered the inner room and did not come out until we left.”
Han Ning told him what he had seen. When he confirmed that he had captured the wrong person tonight, he had a very bad feeling.
“My intuition tells me that the figure is very important to this case…”
Everyone fell silent after hearing Han Ning’s words.
Guan Feng pondered for a moment before he spoke.
“Do you think there’s such a possibility? Could that figure be related to K, or could it be that the owner of the house was actually K!”
“But it doesn’t make sense. The woman who appeared in the surveillance footage is Ke Qing!” Zhou Zhan questioned.
“Actually, there’s also the possibility that K and Ke Qing look very similar. It’s very likely that K didn’t have any identity information recorded and the system’s facial recognition mistook Ke Qing for K…”
Zhang Zhi’s hypothesis enlightened everyone. No one had thought of this possibility before.
After hearing Zhang Zhi’s hypothesis, Han Ning’s thoughts became clear. If the hypothesis was true, K had always been active in Thailand using Ke Qing’s identity. Even if her face was exposed, the only information the police could find was Ke Qing.
Because she lived close by, she could immediately tell if anything happened next door. The capture last night must have alarmed her and there should be no more traces in that villa now. One night was enough for her to erase her traces in that house.
The discussion quickly ended and dawn had already begun to break on the horizon. There were less than twelve hours left until the meeting time that they had originally agreed on with K.
After an ineffective night of torture, everyone in the special investigation team was very tired. Most importantly, they had captured the wrong person and suffered a huge blow.
“Then will K still go to the bar as planned for today’s meeting?” Ong asked carefully.
Everyone was silent. No one knew, and even Han Ning was in a dilemma.
“Alright, everyone should rest first. Pack up and eat breakfast before returning to discuss.”
Han Ning looked at the exhausted group. In order to prepare for the upcoming operation, he decided to let everyone go and relax.
Around ten in the morning, the various departments in the police station were busy.
Suddenly, a loud bang sounded downstairs. The bustling noise downstairs returned to normal after a while. Not long after, a police officer that Han Ning had never seen before rushed in with a letter in his hand.
Ya Cai was still asleep when Han Ning took the letter. The other party did not understand Chinese or English so the two of them could not communicate. Because of this, Han Ning let the other party leave.
Opening the envelope, Han Ning’s expression changed drastically.
“Han Ning, what’s wrong? You look awful.”
Guan Feng woke up after the young police officer left. He saw Han Ning’s expression change and asked curiously.
Han Ning did not speak and only handed the letter in his hand. Guan Feng took the letter and Han Ning’s phone rang at the same time.
“Brother Han! Bad news!”
On the other end of the phone, Jiang Qing’s heavy voice sounded.
“Go ahead and speak. I am curious to find out if my guess is right.”
“This morning, K called Yu Wei again. We’re completely exposed. She already knows that Yu Wei has been arrested by the police…”
Han Ning was not surprised to hear the news. From the letter just now, he already knew that all his previous plans had to be overturned and restarted.
“I understand. It’s fine. You guys watch over her carefully. I’m worried that K will send people to silence her.”
The call was quickly hung up. Han Ning and Guan Feng looked at each other and saw dense worry in each other’s eyes.
It was not impossible for an organization like Pius to silence a person in the police station. After all, there would always be traitors and suicidal scum everywhere…
“Get up, we’re in big trouble…”
Han Ning woke up all the people who were still sleeping and showed everyone the letter in his hand. Everyone knew what would happen next.
“This is a warning letter K sent to the police. It’s also a provocation. The figure I saw last night is most likely K herself.”
Han Ning’s words made everyone fall silent. They had been too arrogant yesterday and did not take his words to heart, resulting in the current outcome.
“As for the game of cat and mouse mentioned in the letter, what do you guys think?”
Han Ning could no longer care about what others thought. K’s challenge had made him angry.. Now, he only had one thought in mind, and that was to capture that woman as soon as possible!
