After a period of waiting,
Boss Hu's brother-in-law, along with several top executives of the company, arrived.
These were the very people who had been involved in the construction of the Binjiang Bridge. Among those still working at the company, only these high-ranking individuals remained.
As for the construction workers from back then, most had retired due to old age and inability to perform physically demanding tasks.
Over twenty years had passed, and the construction company had long since lost contact with the workers who had participated in building the Binjiang Bridge.
Once everyone had arrived, Han Fei stood up and spoke.
"Gentlemen, we've called you here to gather some information. Please come with us."
Hearing this, the group was visibly confused but nodded in compliance, following the officers out.
Xu Mo wanted to say something but ultimately chose to remain silent.
Through his Criminal Detection Radar, he could clearly tell that the people standing before him had not committed the crime of murder and hiding a body.
The skeleton discovered inside the Binjiang Bridge's pier had nothing to do with them. The culprit behind that homicide from years ago was someone else entirely.
In Xu Mo's eyes, interrogations were unnecessary. Bringing these people in would only waste time, as they knew nothing.
However, he couldn't think of a suitable excuse to dissuade Han Fei from questioning them, so he simply stayed quiet.
Back at the police station, Han Fei separated the individuals and interrogated them one by one.
The first to be questioned was Boss Hu's brother-in-law.
In the interrogation room,
Xu Mo leaned back in his chair, appearing somewhat disengaged at first glance.
Han Fei noticed Xu Mo's demeanor but didn't comment. Instead, he pulled out a photo taken at the scene and placed it in front of the man, whose body had been drained by indulgence, with heavy dark circles under his eyes. Han Fei observed the man's expression as he spoke.
"We found a body inside a pier of the Binjiang Bridge where the concrete had crumbled. The body was hidden there during the pier's construction..."
The man was stunned for a moment, then shook his head frantically.
"A body?! You're not suspecting me of killing someone, are you? No, no, this has nothing to do with me! I had no idea there was a body in the pier!"
Though the man looked panicked, Han Fei could tell he wasn't lying.
His nervousness was likely due to the shock of being suspected in a murder case—something that would unsettle anyone.
Han Fei was slightly unsure and glanced at Xu Mo, his "human lie detector."
"Captain Han, he's telling the truth. This case has nothing to do with him," Xu Mo responded, meeting Han Fei's gaze.
With his Criminal Detection Radar, Xu Mo could detect any crimes committed by individuals within a certain range.
The body in the pier had no connection to the man before him, something Xu Mo already knew without the need for interrogation.
With Xu Mo's confirmation, Han Fei was certain the body had nothing to do with the man and prepared to let him go.
However, just as the man thought he was cleared and ready to leave the station, Xu Mo spoke up again.
"Captain Han, don't be too quick to release him. While the body has nothing to do with this guy, that doesn't mean he hasn't committed other illegal acts."
Han Fei looked puzzled, unsure what Xu Mo was referring to.
The next moment, Xu Mo walked over to the man, scrutinizing him before saying,
"Those heavy dark circles, the way your legs wobble when you walk—clearly a result of overindulgence. And that lingering scent of massage oil... you've practically marinated in it. You must have frequented massage parlors quite often, huh?"
The man: "???"
How the hell could he tell?
Even though Xu Mo had seen through him, the man still shook his head, stubbornly denying it. "No way! I've never done anything illegal!"
Xu Mo waved the man's phone, which had been confiscated before he entered the interrogation room.
"Do you want me to check your transaction records and chat history?"
At this, the man immediately thought of his conversations with several familiar madams.
"Xilai Lamp 318, send over a young lady."
"Xilai Lamp 409, same lady as last time."
"Xilai Lamp 207, the usual."
"316, the usual."
"..."
There were hundreds of similar messages. If Xu Mo went through his phone, he'd be done for.
Realizing this, the man quickly caved.
"Alright... Officer, I confess. I did lose control once, just once! I'm guilty, punish me! Oh, and Officer... could you not inform my family about this?"
"Just once?" Xu Mo narrowed his eyes.
"Uh... twice!"
"Hmm?"
"Three times, three times! That's it, really!"
"..."
Boss Hu's brother-in-law had no other vices, so his illegal activities were limited to this—just with a high frequency.
Next, Han Fei and Xu Mo interrogated the others who had been involved in the Binjiang Bridge project.
The results were similar: none of them knew about the body in the pier. The homicide from twenty years ago had nothing to do with them.
However, while these individuals hadn't been involved in the murder, they had all committed crimes of varying degrees.
In the end, not a single one of them left the police station; they were all detained for their illegal activities.
The least severe case was Boss Hu's brother-in-law. While he had broken the law, his offenses were minor compared to the others.
As for the rest, their crimes were far more serious.
There were cases of extortion, kidnapping, threats, and even hiring thugs to assault others.
By the end of the interrogations, Han Fei was stunned.
What had started as an attempt to solve a murder case had instead led Xu Mo to uncover multiple other crimes: extortion, kidnapping, assault-for-hire, and more.
Was this the so-called "planting flowers without success, yet inadvertently growing a forest"?

d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power. Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!! In the frozen wilderness, Yang An knelt beneath Qin Guo’er’s feet, drenched in sweat despite the cold. Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!
u serious?" Chen Feng watched helplessly as his painstakingly trained disciple, fresh off a championship victory, publicly abandoned him. "You had your chance, but you didn’t appreciate it. Now, face the consequences of your choice!" Chen Feng possessed the "Master System," a treasure trove of supreme martial arts techniques, capable of molding ordinary individuals into peerless prodigies. "Legs like yours? A shame not to train in the Crippling Kick." "Ever heard of a palm strike that descends from the heavens?" "Auntie! I see extraordinary bone structure in you—a martial arts prodigy, one in ten thousand." The once-defiant senior disciple, now watching her juniors rise to fame one after another, dominating the internet, was consumed by endless regret.
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
