Chapter 007: The Highest Level
"Reasonable explanation? Are you asking me why I'm interrogating you?"
Facing Qin Feng's tough attitude, Wang Mengnan didn't fly off the handle but instead said righteously, "According to the law, citizens have the obligation to cooperate with police investigations, for a maximum of 24 hours—does this explanation satisfy you?"
"——"
Qin Feng was speechless. The beautiful policewoman in front of him was like a lioness, strong and cunning, knowing how to use the rules to her advantage.
"Name?"
Wang Mengnan flipped open her notebook and asked, pen in hand.
"It's on my ID card, can't you read it yourself?"
Qin Feng leaned against the wall, glancing at Wang Mengnan with a lazy response.
"I'm telling you, this is the criminal investigation team. You'd better behave. Answer my questions! Name!"
Wang Mengnan's face changed slightly, her chest heaving dramatically—too big!
"Qin Feng, Qin as in the Qin Dynasty, Feng as in the wind." Qin Feng subconsciously glanced at Wang Mengnan's trembling peaks and replied.
"Age?"
Qin Feng's gaze didn't escape Wang Mengnan's notice, and she was very angry but didn't immediately react.
"Twenty-four."
"Occupation?"
Wang Mengnan made a note and asked again.
This time, Qin Feng remained silent.
"Occupation?"
Wang Mengnan looked up, her voice heavier, noticing that Qin Feng's lazy demeanor had vanished, replaced by seriousness.
"Unemployed."
In an instant, Qin Feng returned to his lazy self, answering casually.
"I'm warning you, you'd better cooperate, or it won't be good for you!"
Wang Mengnan, ignoring Qin Feng's change in demeanor, said coldly, "The other two bodyguards around Zhang Xinran were top-notch in the bodyguard circle. They were no match for the killer, but you easily subdued him. You tell me you're unemployed—do you think I'm an idiot?"
"You indeed have a big chest and no brain." Qin Feng admitted frankly.
"You... what did you say?"
Even with her good composure, Wang Mengnan was visibly angry at the phrase "big chest, no brain," standing up and pointing at Qin Feng.
"What does my easily subduing the killer have to do with me being unemployed? Can't an unemployed person know martial arts? I learned from Shaolin, Wudang, and Emei when I was a kid, is that not allowed?" Qin Feng completely ignored Wang Mengnan's anger and countered.
Wang Mengnan stared at Qin Feng, speechless.
Because she couldn't find a point to refute—there was indeed no direct connection.
"Phew~"
Then, Wang Mengnan took a deep breath and asked, "What's your relationship with Zhang Baixiong?"
"None."
Qin Feng's heart stirred, sensing that Wang Mengnan's strict interrogation was likely related to Zhang Baixiong.
Earlier, at the high-speed rail station, he had noticed the hatred in Wang Mengnan's eyes when she looked at Zhang Baixiong.
"No relationship? Then why did you risk your life to save his daughter?"
Wang Mengnan sneered, having pondered on the way from the station to the police station why Qin Feng had refused Zhang Baixiong's business card, concluding they were putting on a show to avoid police suspicion.
"When we were in school, our teachers taught us to be brave and learn from Lei Feng. What's wrong with that?"
Though he saw through Wang Mengnan's intentions, Qin Feng didn't want to get involved and continued to tease her.
"Stop being slick!" Wang Mengnan glared at Qin Feng coldly, "Do you think I can't find out if you don't talk?"
"Go ahead and check."
Qin Feng shrugged, indifferent.
"Knock knock..."
At that moment, there was a knock on the door.
Click!
The iron door opened, and a male police officer who had gone to the high-speed rail station with Wang Mengnan entered, holding a file.
"Mengnan, this is the killer's file. His name is Huang Wei, nicknamed 'Huang Laoxie.' He's a veteran in the assassin circle and has never failed until now. I didn't expect him to fall this time."
The male police officer placed the file in front of Wang Mengnan and glanced at Qin Feng.
In his view, without Qin Feng, it would have been very difficult for the police to catch Huang Wei.
"What about his file?"
Wang Mengnan didn't read the killer's file but was more concerned about Qin Feng's file.
"It's very simple, or rather, just one sentence." The male police officer's expression was odd.
"One sentence?" Wang Mengnan raised an eyebrow, "What?"
"You don't have the authority..."
The male police officer's expression was strange. The criminal investigation team, as a key department in police investigations, had broad authority to access files, but they couldn't access Qin Feng's, indicating that Qin Feng's identity was extraordinary!
"Are you a special forces soldier?"
Hearing the male police officer, Wang Mengnan's heart stirred, guessing something.
Coming from a special family, she knew that in the country, only two types of people had files that the police couldn't access without authorization: high-ranking officials and members of secret military units.
Qin Feng was only twenty-four, so he couldn't be a high-ranking official, leaving only the second possibility.
"Guessing?"
Qin Feng, annoyed by the unjustified interrogation, wasn't about to cooperate.
"You... do you think you can act recklessly just because you're a retired special forces soldier? I'll tell you, I can find out even if you don't talk!" Wang Mengnan sneered.
"Try it."
Qin Feng laughed, genuinely curious about Wang Mengnan's confidence.
Wang Mengnan answered with action!
Under Qin Feng and the male police officer's watch, she took out her phone and dialed a number.
"Help me check someone, Qin Feng, from the special forces." The call connected, and Wang Mengnan got straight to the point, her tone leaving no room for doubt.
Huh?
This scene left both the male police officer and Qin Feng stunned.
The former had heard rumors that Wang Mengnan grew up in a military compound but had never confirmed it. Now, it was almost certain the rumors were true.
As for Qin Feng...
He knew that even in the military, few people had the authority to investigate secret units.
"As a soldier, you once wore that uniform, carried that gun, and swore under the national flag and emblem. Now, you're working for a criminal. I feel sorry for you!"
After ending the call, Wang Mengnan scolded Qin Feng harshly.
"Detective, be careful, I might sue you for defamation!"
Though Wang Mengnan's words stung, considering her intentions, Qin Feng didn't get angry but instead glanced at her, "Do you have any more questions? If not, I'm leaving."
"Did I say you could leave?" Wang Mengnan frowned.
"Ring ring..."
At that moment, the phone on the interrogation table rang, the sound piercing.
"Hello."
Wang Mengnan picked up the phone, her tone poor.
"Mengnan, the vice president of Baixiong Group, Zhu Wenmo, has already given a statement about the high-speed rail kidnapping. Stop wasting time and let Qin Feng go." Captain Zhou gave instructions.
"Captain Zhou..."
Wang Mengnan tried to say something.
"Don't be foolish, that's an order!" Captain Zhou interrupted her.
"Understood."
Wang Mengnan gritted her teeth, ultimately deciding to follow orders but still felt不甘心, staring at Qin Feng, "Don't think you're off the hook just because Zhang Baixiong's people are protecting you. I'm watching you, and if I catch you committing a crime, I'll make sure you go to jail! Also, your identity might be mysterious to others, but not to me!"
"Buzz~"
As Wang Mengnan spoke, her phone vibrated.
Hearing the vibration, seeing the caller ID, Wang Mengnan deliberately glared at Qin Feng, as if to say, "I meant it!"
Qin Feng was at a loss, having met many women but never one as persistent as Wang Mengnan.
He was also curious—what deep-seated grudge did Wang Mengnan have against Zhang Baixiong, making her determined to bring him down?
"Did you find anything?"
Wang Mengnan pressed the answer button, her eyes never leaving Qin Feng, trying to read something from his expression.
"No."
The next moment, a voice came from the receiver, deep and magnetic, "Mengnan, the person's file is classified at the highest level. Only a few top leaders have the authority to access it!"
"You... what did you say?"
Wang Mengnan, as if hearing the most unbelievable thing in the world, her pupils dilated, her face filled with shock.
"Detective, goodbye."
As if in response to Wang Mengnan, Qin Feng made a mock salute and walked out of the interrogation room.
"——"
Wang Mengnan held the receiver, watching Qin Feng leave, motionless, like a statue!
