Chapter 904 876: Accomplice or Free Man

Wang Zhanting almost burst into the City Police Department's office immediately, slamming the desk and glaring at Wu Mian. From his heavy breathing, it was obvious he had rushed over with great exertion. Because of this, Wu Mian stood up politely. "Minister Wang, what brings you to our police department today?"

"Let's not beat around the bush. What's going on here?" Wang Zhanting threw the indictment in his hand toward Wu Mian. "Contract murder? What evidence does your police department have to accuse the Wang Family?"

"The Wang Family is quite prominent in Yanjing, and our police department follows a strict evidence-first policy. We wouldn't make such an accusation without concrete evidence, wouldn't you agree, Minister Wang?" Wu Mian anticipated Wang Zhanting would storm into his office early in the morning. Wang Zhantian might still be struggling on the brink of death, undergoing surgery by a forensic doctor, an unspeakable move which reflected their severe shortage of medical staff. "Minister Wang, you should be grateful for our police efficiency. If we'd arrived just a bit later, fear for Wang Zhantian's life might have been in vain."

"Where is the perpetrator?" Minister Wang's bloodshot eyes locked tightly onto Wu Mian's fox-like smiling face, and he struggled to control himself, adjusting his breath. "If I really knew where the perpetrator was, tell me. I have something to find him for, I need to see him."

"I'm afraid that's not possible. Minister Wang, at this point, perhaps you should step back just to avoid suspicion, although I understand your feelings now. After all, Wang Zhantian is a senior member of your family, and those involved also include people from the city committee. This case is probably not something you can interfere with," Wu Mian responded politely, but the rejection was clear.

"In the meeting that day, Secretary Hua also mentioned that this matter is not something we should be involved in. I believe the official document should have reached your city committee by now, and that this matter has likely been escalated to other departments. All I can deal with is the case of Secretary Hua's murder, and the important thing might be to persuade your brother as a member of the Wang family to confess, considering his past contributions that may affect the sentencing, and it's quite likely this matter ties into the previous case of Tang Xiaoxia's attack on Secretary Hua. These two cases might need to be settled together," Wu Mian said, glancing back at Wang Zhanting, signaling him to sit aside with a somewhat repetitious tone.

"Director Wu wants me to avoid suspicion, I might as well say it outright here: that's unlikely to happen. I hope today you can show me solid evidence, or I won't let this go." Wang Zhanting's chest held a storm of unvented anger, yet his tone had taken on a commanding and authoritative minister's stance, demanding Wu Mian produce the evidence.

The conversation was rather unpleasant, Wu Mian sipped his tea. "Minister Wang, we've been working for several years now; let's be blunt today. You and Secretary Hua have been political rivals for quite some time, and I can responsibly tell you, the evidence of Wang Zhantian's contract killing is factual. You are from the Wang Family, and the rivalry between you and Secretary Hua is well-known to everyone. Do you want to stand out and say something at this time for your own political future, or do you genuinely believe Wang Zhantian didn't do such a thing?" Wu Mian chuckled twice. "These words from my mouth, you're unlikely to believe. Think carefully about what you did the day after Secretary Hua's incident. Were you or Wang Zhantian the one inciting rumor spreading?"

Wang Zhanting hissed, realizing that the wily and crafty ones are not always beside you. The City Police Director was always lurking behind the scenes, yet his eyes saw far more clearly than anyone else's. "Director Wu, what exactly are you trying to have me do?"

"There's actually nothing much you need to do. Your Wang family's unlucky streak started with Fatty Wang, and you, as the minister from the organization department, want to make yourself the outstanding one? The wise adapt to circumstances, you're a good leader, you should know how to choose. Don't make the wrong step and harm yourself, I think you understand me."

"Director Wu means to have me sacrifice my kin for the greater good?" Wang Zhanting suddenly laughed, as Wu Mian said so much, only to have him confess other crimes of Wang Zhantian. He coldly hummed inwardly, hesitating on whether to drink the cup of tea on the table.

"Sacrifice your kin for the greater good—well put. Minister Wang is indeed a good leader," Wu Mian stood up at this time, taking a report from the drawer. "Take a look at this, it might help with your decision."

Suspiciously, Wang Zhanting flipped through it, and as the content unfolded, his face turned pale and unable to maintain composure. "This..."

"Minister Wang must be very surprised, right? We've found and detained the person you arranged to surveil Tang Xiaoxia, and your use of Tang Xiaoxia's case has also been confirmed from various angles. You also had a part in the North District incident, didn't you? Tang Xiaoxia didn't agree to your demands, so you added a suitable drug to her cigarettes. Unfortunately, she didn't smoke that pack of cigarettes, but you also applied the drug to the cup she used for better effect. This matter, you wouldn't forget, would you?"

"Impossible!" Wang Zhanting's first response was flat denial. He had done it cleanly, leaving no traces, so Wu Mian must be testing.

"Minister Wang's methods are indeed very clever, far more sophisticated than the average criminal, absolutely flawless. But unfortunately, there will always be a slight oversight, the surveillance tapes haven't been completely wiped clean, and still left a little bit of evidence. Your profit relationship with Tang Xiaoxia has been preserved well, your record of going to the psychiatric hospital was to silence, wasn't it? But you underestimated women, which is your fatal flaw."

"Ha-ha-ha!" Wang Zhanting laughed out loud. "Since Director Wu has so much evidence, then arrest me. Isn't it contract killing? Then I am considered one too."

"If Minister Wang truly thinks so, I could apprehend you immediately. But do you really want to spend the rest of your life in prison? There are quite a few people you've put inside. Those scapegoats are eagerly waiting to see you." Ah, a threat, a blatant threat! The fox-like smile widened on Wu Mian's face, reading people's mind isn't just something psychiatrists can do.

"I want to see Secretary Hua." Without needing Wu Mian to continue, Wang Zhanting knew what kind of situation awaited him, and this old fox would surely place him among those who died unjustly.
