While they were grateful to Yu Tang for speaking up for them, they were even more worried that Shen Yu, who was currently furious, would take his anger out on this arrogant stand-in!
The atmosphere inside the room became deathly silent.
Liao Yu's back was soaked with cold sweat.
Unexpectedly, Shen Yu thought about it and then laughed.
"you're right."
The frighteningly intense hostility vanished instantly. Shen Yu exhaled and said to Yu Tang, "And it was wrong of me to lose my temper in front of you just now."
Did I scare you?
"Thank goodness..." Yu Tang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he had returned to normal: "Let them get up first, and then we'll review the surveillance footage together and analyze the details of this incident so that we can find some clues."
Shen Yu nodded obediently.
"Yes, that's fine."
Then, very naturally, he waved to the two people over there: "Get up, both of you. This time you made a mistake but it was a close call. If you act on your own again next time, I won't let you off so easily."
They watched in shock as Yu Tang pulled Shen Yu to sit at the table, pointing out details in the video and analyzing them.
While the usually ruthless and decisive Master Shen was out in the open, he sat obediently like a well-behaved child.
He then revealed a smile as gentle as a spring breeze and occasionally said a few words.
The atmosphere was exceptionally harmonious!
It's like...
Liao Yu suddenly remembered that three years ago, a man named Yu Tang was lying in a hospital bed.
Shen Yu sat on the edge of the bed peeling an apple, his profile full of tenderness.
They are exactly the same.
It even gave him the feeling that the man had come back to life...
Chapter 9
Reviving the villain for the second time (09)
"Liu Zi, how did you come up with the idea of deleting the surveillance footage?"
Liao Yu pulled Zheng Liu to his feet.
Seeing the other person's self-reproachful and embarrassed appearance, I felt sorry for them.
"Did someone say something to you?"
When faced with Shen Yu's questioning, they didn't dare to find any excuses for their mistakes.
Now that Shen Yu had calmed down, Liao Yu wanted to ask him more questions.
As expected, Zheng Liu nodded.
"Brother Liao, when I heard that something had happened, I rushed to the scene."
But when I passed by the monitoring room, someone pulled me in and said they could help me delete the surveillance footage after the auction. I thought Wang Dong and Li Hai were really killed by Master Shen.
So, in a moment of impulse, I did as he said and deleted the video.
Liao Yu frowned:
"How could there be no one in the monitoring room?"
He then asked, "Do you remember what that person looked like?"
Zheng Liu shook his head: "He was wearing a hat and a mask, only his eyes were visible. He was completely wrapped in a black tracksuit, and his voice was hoarse, like an old man. But judging from his movements, he should be a young man."
"Tsk, you actually believe someone like that! You're such a pighead!" Liao Yu slapped Zheng Liu on the head.
He looked at him with a disappointed expression: "If you ever act on your own again, I won't even need Master Shen to lift a finger; I'll deal with you directly!"
"I'm sorry..." Zheng Liu bowed his back, lowered his head, and didn't dare to rub his head. All he could do was apologize.
He's practically the epitome of a simpleton, leaving Liao Yu utterly exasperated.
"A fall into a pit, a gain in your wit." Shen Yu overheard their conversation and said, "And this also shows that someone on this ship is condoning the enemy who framed me."
Otherwise, a single rat wouldn't have the strength to cause so much trouble.
He beckoned to Zheng Liu, pointed to the janitor frozen on the screen, and said, "You're good at remembering people's figures, movements, and habits. Take a close look at this hunched-over janitor. Do you see any similarities to the man you saw in the monitoring room?"
Zheng Liu walked over, reversed and then watched the video carefully five or six times, finally nodding: "It's him..."
"He must have deliberately pretended to be an old man when he dressed up as a cleaner."
Then, taking advantage of the chaos, he changed clothes, transformed back into a young man, and tried to incite me.
Shen Yu pondered.
"Who could it be that has a grudge against me, is skilled at disguise, and has people on the ship protecting them?"
With Xiao Jin's hint, Yu Tang naturally knew that it was all Han Zichen's doing, and thought of steer the conversation toward Han Zichen to remind Shen Yu.
Then he asked...
"Is the piece of paper you gave to Officer Yuan genuine?"
“It’s true…” When Shen Yu faced Yu Tang, his tone softened suddenly, so gentle that Liao Yu and Zheng Liu’s hearts trembled.
“I gave them a choice: death or signing. They chose to sign, so I just taught them a lesson and didn’t kill them.”
Yu Tang covered her face.
Do we even have a choice?
Anyone with a brain would choose to sign, right?
"How did you know they had SM tendencies?"
“Everyone in the industry knows this.” Shen Yu tapped his fingers lightly on the table and said, “Moreover, they organized several events that killed quite a few people. They claimed that the deaths were suicides or accidents, compensated the families, and then made a series of threats to smooth things over.”
Yu Tang was shocked:
"Don't the family members sue them?"
"The people who were taken away to participate in the activities all came from families with special circumstances. Some wanted to avoid trouble and not want to offend the capitalists and those in power, while others did not take their children seriously."
They were even pleased that the deceased's death brought them a generous compensation payment.
“After all…” Shen Yu chuckled, “some people are far more cold-blooded than you can imagine.”
Yu Tang was horrified when he heard this.
He suddenly realized that Wang Dong and Li Hai's deaths were not unjust at all...
“But you’ve reminded me.” Shen Yu said, as if remembering something, “Two years ago, Wang Dong and Li Hai teamed up to deceive Han Zichen, organized an SM event with him, and apparently accidentally strangled him to death.”
"After that, I never heard from Han Zichen again."
When Yu Tang heard Shen Yu mention the key point, he followed up with, "So do you think he's really dead?"
Shen Yu was taken aback.
The way he looked at Yu Tang was a little strange.
"You, are you still thinking about him?"
Yu Tang blinked.
Suddenly realizing that Han Zichen was the white moonlight in his heart when he first came into this world, Shen Yu thought that he liked Han Zichen for a long time.
"Pfft, hahaha." He laughed out loud, grasped Shen Yu's hand and said, "What are you thinking? Why would I care about someone who killed me? I mean, do you think it's possible that the person who killed Wang Dong and Li Hai and then framed you was Han Zichen?"
After all, this was a win-win situation for him.
"How could he have such an ability..." Shen Yu wanted to deny it, but then he thought that two years had passed, and he knew Han Zichen's skills.
Although I'm not qualified to compete with him.
But it is indeed better than some incompetent fools.
Moreover, the person who is considered least likely to be the most suspicious is often the one who is most likely to be the most suspicious.
He needed to take Han Zichen's potential variables into account.
"Hmm, I'll investigate him thoroughly when I get back."
For the next hour, until the cruise ship docked, Yuan Chi failed to catch Han Zichen.
He vanished without a trace, as if he had evaporated into thin air.
Shen Yu used the paper agreement and surveillance video as alibis to clear himself of the murder charges.
This prevented Yuan Chi from arresting him.
She could only watch helplessly as Shen Yu led Yu Tang out of the cabin, unable to do anything about it.
Because of the murder, the police rushed to the port and temporarily sealed off the cruise ship.
But this blockade also appears extremely weak and ineffective. After all, any guest on this platform is a well-known figure, and they all have intricate connections of interest with them or their superiors.
Without concrete evidence, they simply cannot retain their staff.
This is why they sent Yu Tang to carry out the mission.
They need solid evidence before they can take action against Shen Yu.
Going undercover is key to obtaining evidence.
The weather was late autumn, with fog swirling around the sea, gloomy and somewhat cold.
On the deck, Shen Yu grasped Yu Tang's hand, put it in his coat pocket, and leaned on his cane with his other hand, speaking naturally to Yuan Chi.
"A person cannot simply disappear into thin air."
"Officer Yuan could send more people with police dogs into the cruise ship for a thorough search; perhaps we'll find something unexpected."
"Of course, this is just Shen's low-level suggestion. Whether or not to adopt it is up to Officer Yuan."
Yuan Chi looked coldly at the man in front of her.
I am filled with resentment.
