2219: How Did He Die?
After leaving the research institute, Lin Yi drove to the Xinshan branch office, then waited for Chen Bingqiang to send over Ma Dehong.
But not long after he had driven out, he received a phone call from Chen Bingqiang.
“Chief Chen, is Ma Dehong’s matter taken care of?” Lin Yi asked with a smile.
“There’s been a problem with the man you mentioned; he died in the detention center, and we’re still investigating the specific cause of death.”
“Ah? He’s dead?”
Hearing this news, Lin Yi was stunned for quite a while, then he pulled over to the side of the road.
“When you called me earlier, I was in a meeting. After the meeting, I arranged for it to be handled by the staff below. By the time I got to the Songjiang precinct, the news of Ma Dehong’s death had come,” Chen Bingqiang said,
“I took a look, and the man you’re talking about was arrested for rape, a very common case, but you wanted to personally interrogate him. Is there some unspeakable background?”
“Indeed,” Lin Yi nodded and said,
“But I can’t say what it is exactly. Chief Chen, please don’t take it personally.”
“No problem, I understand,” Chen Bingqiang said cheerfully,
“How should we proceed with the follow-up? Will you take over, or should I?”
“I’ll still go and take a look.”
“Alright, then, if you need any help, just give me a call.”
“Thank you, Chief Chen.”
“We’re all on the same side; no need for thanks.”
After finishing, Lin Yi hung up the phone.
But his expression was exceptionally serious.
One thing was certain: Ma Dehong’s death was definitely not normal, which led to the inference that he had an unspeakable identity.
This made the problem even bigger.
It was inevitable that someone outside was afraid he would leak important information, so they used such a method to kill him.
But the question was, Ma Dehong had always been in the detention center and had never had contact with outsiders. How could such a thing happen?
Could there be a mole inside?
Lin Yi shook his head, then turned the car around and headed towards the Songjiang precinct.
Seeing Lin Yi arrive, the people at the Songjiang precinct did not show happy faces.
Because Lin Yi had stolen several of their achievements and took all the limelight.
“I didn’t cuck you, so why are you looking at me with that kind of eyes?”
Lin Yi said to Zhao Su.
“Go away. Don’t think because you’ve solved a few cases you can strut around in front of me, you’re just lucky.”
“I don’t have time to deal with you. Where’s your captain? I have something to discuss with her.”
“She just left.”
“Just left?”
“Our captain was seconded some days ago, but the higher-ups didn’t agree, so they let her take a break. It seems she’s made up her mind, came back to handle the procedures, and was reinstated in her position, then was given a week off by the leadership. If you have something for her, just give her a call.”
Lin Yi nodded thoughtfully.
He knew about this; she had chosen this do-or-die approach in order to become a member of the Central Guards Brigade.
But now, having been reinstated, it was very likely that she had given up.
Lin Yi thought about it and felt that this outcome was the best for him.
With her abilities, although she was nothing in the realm of the Central Guards Brigade, in the ordinary world, she was a top-notch expert.
He dared not say for other areas, but as long as she worked hard, she would at least end up as a senior official in the future.
Lin Yi took out his phone and dialed Ling Han’s number.
“Team Leader Lin.”
Ling Han said politely as soon as the call was answered.
“Where are you? I need to talk to you.”
“You need to talk? I’m at the airport. Is it important? I can come back right now.”
“You’re at the airport?”
“I’m on vacation in Pengcheng with my family. A few days ago, I went back to settle some personal matters. Now that I’m done, I need to meet up with my family and then move on to other places,” Ling Han said,
“Is it urgent that you’re looking for me? I can come back right now. Where are you?”
“It’s not a big deal; you go ahead and enjoy. I can find someone else.”
Lin Yi didn’t say anything more and casually ended the call with Ling Han, then went upstairs to find their precinct chief, Han Zhongyu.
