Chapter 47: He Was Still at the Police Station! Duan Yu's Call!

Chapter 47: He is still at the police station! Duan Yu's phone call!

Even though the room was air-conditioned to a comfortable temperature, Duan Yu's back was already soaked with sweat.

For this round of suspect identification, old Mr. Cui Liwan had made extremely thorough preparations.

The psychological evaluation results of the two eyewitnesses showed no anomalies whatsoever, and neither of them had been subjected to excessive pressure.

This indicated that they had maintained sound rationality throughout the entire identification process.

Furthermore, the procedure for the entire identification process was exceptionally rigorous.

They adopted a method involving three different sets of photographs, and in all three instances, they selected the photograph of the exact same person.

In other words, this ruled out the possibility of the eyewitnesses having blurred memories.

And most importantly.

The time taken by both individuals for each selection ranged between 40 and 60 seconds. This meant that their choices were not only the result of careful consideration, but their decisions were also remarkably decisive.

Generally speaking, an identification conducted under such conditions would not be erroneous!

Duan Yu looked at Su Chen's face in that photograph, his expression turning grave!

How could this be possible?

If it truly was him, then how on earth had Su Chen managed to pass his sudden, surprise interrogation?

Duan Yu meticulously recalled the scene from back then.

From the large bag of snacks Su Chen had brought back, to Su Chen's extraordinary and unnatural composure.

It was hardly possible for an ordinary administrative police officer to maintain such calmness when faced with such a sudden interrogation.

Unless......

At this thought, a flash of lightning seemed to streak across Duan Yu's mind.

He immediately began frantically searching his person with both hands, moving with such force that it nearly crumpled his neatly pressed police uniform!

Once, with no results.

Twice, with no results.

"Impossible, impossible, let me check again..."

Duan Yu muttered under his breath, thrusting his hand into his inner pocket.

Suddenly, when his fingers brushed against the metal button of the inner pocket, his movements abruptly froze!

The thickness was all wrong. Why on earth was this button so thick?!

Duan Yu gripped the button and gave it a hard yank!

With a soft ripping sound, something adhesive was torn away.

When he withdrew his hand, pinched between his fingers was a tiny metallic chip, no larger than a coin.

Flipping it over, he saw a complex circuit board intricately woven across the reverse side!

The moment he laid eyes on this object, Duan Yu felt as though his brain had been struck by a heavy blow.

It was a wiretap!

It had been installed so covertly that even with deliberate searching, he had almost failed to find it.

It all fit together, everything made sense now!

"Su Chen is a member of the criminal syndicate chosen by the production team!"

"The reason he was able to handle my interrogation and remain so calm was never because of some superior psychological fortitude."

"It was simply because he knew in advance that I would conduct a surprise interrogation!"

"Through this wiretap, he was even able to hear the specific contents of my interrogation in real time!"

"That bag of snacks was nothing more than a smokescreen designed to deflect suspicion, and as a matter of fact, forging that kind of shopping receipt isn't all that difficult..."

At this realization, Duan Yu could not help but feel a chill creeping down his spine.

For no other reason than this.

Su Chen had hidden himself far too well; his acting was so convincing that he was practically a natural-born actor!

Even while in close proximity to seasoned professionals like themselves, he had not revealed a single obvious flaw.

Wait a minute!

That man was likely still lingering inside the expert team's office right now...

A surge of intense crisis suddenly erupted within Duan Yu's heart. This double agent was still mingling with the members of the expert team at this very moment, and the other experts remained entirely oblivious to his true identity.

And what was even more terrifying—

Su Chen was well aware of the fact that the suspect identification had taken place!

"Xiao Liu, hurry up and start the car!"

Duan Yu abruptly left the two eyewitnesses in the room, abandoning them to stare at each other in bewilderment.

He rushed anxiously out of the precinct lobby, made his way to the front courtyard, climbed into his car, and instructed the driver:

"Hurry, drive, head to headquarters! I need to see the rest of the expert team!"

As he spoke, Duan Yu pulled out his smartphone and immediately placed a call to Cui Liwan.
