After so many years of stable life, they wouldn't suddenly withdraw from the sea all at once, and that wasn't a good solution either.
When faced with someone who only seeks revenge, there’s no need for us to overthink things. In Wang Yao's view, Lin Yuan's words were somewhat extreme; in today's society, harboring such intense feelings of vengeance is quite difficult. Doesn’t the other party need to reflect on themselves? Is it really worth it to act this way for someone who has already passed away?
With Wang Zhiyan's parents in that state, who would stand up for them? If it were them doing something, what could a fifty-year-old woman and a physically weak man accomplish together? Such a combination—murder?
I suggest investigating Wang Zhiyan's classmates; they should know quite a bit about the situation. Given that his family conditions were so poor, when the news of the relocation spread, Wang Zhiyan should have been quite happy. If he had any good friends, they would definitely know about this news too.
However, finding Wang Zhiyan's classmates isn't that simple. Everyone is still in college at this time and doesn't have much time to come back. Alright, I'll have someone look into it right now.
From the current results, it seems that Wang Yao and the others wanting to retrieve bodies and such was somewhat off-topic. Lin Yuan speculated that they must have other leads.
For now, I only know this much about the case; I’m not sure what else there is. He gestured for Wang Yao and the others to continue.
Wang Yao sighed. Compared to Lin Yuan’s limited resources, they indeed had more information, but not by much.
I found out that Wang Zhiyan is not the biological son of this couple; the results show there’s no parent-child relationship. So they speculate that the motive for murder isn’t just related to Wang Zhiyan’s parents but also involves other factors.
If this was indeed the reason behind the murder of Wang Zhiyan, then the scope could be narrowed down further.
Just then, Lin Yuan's phone began to vibrate. The caller ID showed that it was Zhang Ya calling. Usually, at this time, he should still be delivering takeout—why was he calling out of nowhere?
The others fell silent; not just Lin Yuan, but their own phones were also still on.
The call connected.
On the other end, Zhang Ya was panting but sounded very excited.
"Lin Yuan! Guess what I just saw!"
"What?"
Lin Yuan truly had no idea what could make him so excited.
"I discovered a pyramid scheme organization!"
"What?!"
Lin Yuan glanced at his phone; it was a call from Zhang Ya.
"How can you be so sure it's a pyramid scheme?"
"Hey, do you remember when I told you about that entire floor ordering takeout? I sensed something was off back then. How could they possibly order dozens of meals at once?"
Meanwhile, Zhang Ya was still making his way down the stairs since the elevator was out of order.
He continued, "I took a peek into their office when the door was open. Almost no one had a phone, and I could hear people getting hit."
If he hadn’t felt that staying there might lead to trouble, he would have probably ended up with a video being thrown in Lin Yuan's face right now.
"Are there a lot of people there?"
Lin Yuan's expression grew serious; he could tell Zhang Ya was still descending the stairs.
"Yeah, I've climbed several floors just to call you. Otherwise, they might overhear me."
This was also why Zhang Ya was being cautious; otherwise, his actions could put him in significant danger.
"Send me the address and keep delivering takeout."
The sun was blazing outside as Zhang Ya mounted his electric bike, feeling a bit puzzled.
"Shouldn't I be going to the police station first to report this?"
"Brother Zhang, just listen to me."
After hanging up, Lin Yuan stood up and looked at Zheng Yun.
"I'll send you an address; please contact Officer Zhou. It seems there's a sizable pyramid scheme operation in that area, and they're restricting people's freedom. Make sure to bring enough people."
They had overheard Lin Yuan's conversation earlier, and there wouldn't be enough time for them to rush over.
Zheng Yun nodded and immediately left the meeting room.
On the other side, after Zhang Ya ended the call, he didn’t notice someone following him as he began to pick up his next order.
A few people came down from the upper floors and exchanged glances before getting into their car and following him.
If they realized something was wrong, they could stage a traffic accident to ensure he never made it to the police station.
That kid just made a call; he wouldn’t have been calling the police, would he?
The person in the back seat felt uneasy; after all, this was too risky.
They hadn’t noticed that someone had spotted them.
"It shouldn't be; let’s keep following for a while."
There was only one road leading to the police station from here, so they wouldn’t waste much time.
Once they saw Zhang Ya enter a restaurant to continue delivering food, those in the car felt slightly relieved.
If he truly realized something was off, he wouldn’t continue delivering meals.
Until now, Zhang Ya still had no idea that he had just walked through the gates of hell.
As they drove back, the four of them happened to collide with a group of undercover officers preparing to go in. It was peak meal time, so the two officers didn't think much of the crowd heading inside.
Little did they know that prior to this, Zhou Changfeng had already reviewed the surveillance footage and recognized them as members of a pyramid scheme organization.
Watching the four people squeezed at the back, Zhou Changfeng sneered. The location was quite good, equipped with an elevator, and they were deliberately making things difficult for the delivery person.
"Isn't it too crowded for these guys? Are they targeting us on purpose?"
He felt as if he was about to be pressed against the elevator wall, the squeeze was unbearable. But he wasn't the only one feeling this way; it was mainly because those people were quite tall. They were just a few of them, aware of when to take a hit.
"You're too much."
The self-proclaimed leader's face darkened. Did he think others didn’t have ears?
Just then, he lifted his gaze and locked eyes with Zhou Changfeng, who was smiling.
"Brother, we're just taking an elevator; if you think we're being targeted, let’s talk about it."
The leader could tell Zhou Changfeng was skilled. He was about to say a few polite words when suddenly he felt a cold object clamping down on his wrist.
He looked down.
The silver handcuffs reflected in his view, looking quite substantial.
This leader was indeed sharp; he immediately realized he had fallen into a trap. That delivery person must have called the police!
However, when he tried to break free, he discovered that the other three had also been cuffed.
"How did you move so fast?"
Even if they were a pyramid scheme organization, surely the police wouldn’t believe it so easily without verification?
Zhou Changfeng narrowed his eyes but didn’t answer. A single glance silenced the others to prevent any chaos later on.
Soon, the elevator doors opened.
The frosted glass doors were meant to save costs, but they allowed them to see clearly inside where there were indeed quite a few people.
The officers behind had already drawn their batons, and a few were preparing for additional measures.
In short, there was no way they would let these individuals escape; this was a golden opportunity for results coming right to their doorstep.
