Chapter 458 - Clue! (1/2)

Xiao Bing was not very angry after he ended his call. He had met so many well-matched foes all these years. Since Lu Fan had initiated the first strike, Xiao Bing decided to counterstrike.

Within one month he needed to go to the Dragon Gate to settle the matters there. Before that, he must deal with this problem that might harm Ye Xiaoxi.

Xiao Bing called Jiang Wanting and asked her if she had found anything new. She sounded upset on the phone, “The cameras around the warehouse were destroyed, which made it impossible for us to identify the arsonist. The only thing we are sure about is that this is definitely an act of arson. If it had not been discovered in time by the people inside, they would have been burned alive. If the arsonist is caught, he will be in prison for at least dozens of years.”

Xiao Bing said with chagrin, “It’s useless if we can’t arrest the felon. The cameras near the warehouse were destroyed. But what about the cameras that are farther away from the warehouse? The warehouse is in a deserted area. I suppose only few cars will come by that place.”

Jiang Wanting said, “We are currently investigating it, according to the clues. We might get some progress a few days later.”

Xiao Bing asked, “Can I see the footage of the freeway?”

Jiang Wanting sounded awkward, “I don’t think so. After all, you are not a policeman.”

Xiao Bing knew it would make things difficult for Jiang Wanting. According to the rules, Jiang Wanting was not supposed to allow Xiao Bing to see the footage or get him involved in this case. But Xiao Bing wanted to have a try, since Jiang Wanting was his friend.

Xiao Bing knew that Jiang Wanting had always admired him mainly because of the might he showed, and the help he offered to the police. Besides, Xiao Bing was once a soldier. So Jiang Wanting was fond of him, which made it easier for him to ask for her help.

As a saying goes, the more friends you have, the more help you will get.

Xiao Bing said, “Wanting, I believe that you know my capabilities. I resigned from the special force in this country. I cannot tell you which special force I once served in. But it is one of best. I believe that you’re better than me in some areas. But I’m also better than you in some aspects. Maybe you might have missed something during the investigation. Efficiency is necessary when you’re breaking a case. Let me see the footage if you trust me.”

Jiang Wanting fell silent. She believed in Xiao Bing’s abilities. But Xiao Bing’s girlfriend, Yezi, was involved in this case. Xiao Bing should not be a part in it, according to the rules. But she found it hard to refuse him, after he said those words.

Xiao Bing continued, “I will owe you a favor if you agree. I know the rules. But I am asking you for help as your friend. And I hope I can help you…”

Jiang Wanting sighed and smiled bitterly, “You are making it difficult for me…”

“So do you agree?”“Alas, it seemed that I cannot refuse. Come… But I did not discover anything from the footage. Perhaps you can.”

Xiao Bing said with excitement, “Great. Thanks. I’ll come later.”

Xiao Bing then hung up and drove toward the Criminal Police Brigade. The most exciting thing for Xiao Bing was to be the captain of his fate. Now Xiao Bing’s primary task was to help Yezi, and his second priority was to win the game he was playing with Lu Fan.

After Xiao Bing arrived at the Criminal Police Brigade, he walked directly into Jiang Wanting’s office. Jiang Wanting managed a wry smile when she saw Xiao Bing, “I literally don’t know what to do with you, sometimes. I’ll be in trouble if someone tells this to my boss.”

Xiao Bing grinned, “You are scared of this?”

Xiao Bing said this for a reason. Ever since he had met this girl, he knew that she dared to offend the powerful to break a case. Though she was a woman, she was no less fiercer than any man. She allowed Xiao Bing to see the footage because Xiao Bing was her friend, and she wanted to solve the case as soon as possible. She hoped that Xiao Bing could find something in the footage, even if it seemed unimportant. So she did not care about the rules.

Jiang Wanting glared at Xiao Bing and said, “I did not expect you to know me so well. Come with me. The footage is stored in that place.”

Then Jiang Wanting walked out of the room with Xiao Bing trailing behind. While she was at the door, she suddenly came to an abrupt halt, which made Xiao Bing bump into her and against a part of her bouncy hips. The two almost fell to the ground. Xiao Bing pinned the girl to the wall and his body was pressed against hers. That part of his body hardened.
