Chapter 1546 — It Turned Out to Be Wei Zhao: Even If I Let Xiaoxiao Accept the Inheritance Instead of Doing That Great Deed, That Cold Little Girl Would Not Dare Utter a Word of Complaint! In the End, It All Comes Down to My Own Lack of Strength!

"Little Pig, let's head back." Wei Zhao took one last look at the Ice-Snow Spirit Mountain and strode off toward Ice-Snow Spirit Town.

"Squeak, squeak..." The Thunder Pig knew full well what had happened, and squeaked softly to comfort Wei Zhao.

"Heh, little fellow, the three of us came here together, and now only two of us are going back. But rest assured, one day we will come again!" Wei Zhao said with firm resolve.

"Squeak!" The Thunder Pig seemed to trust Wei Zhao's words completely, and squeaked in agreement.

......

In Songshan City, inside Song Lingshan's office, Liu Wangli handed her a technical appraisal report. "Captain Song, this is the license plate number the technical division restored from the surveillance footage. The number is TT000!"

"TT000?" Song Lingshan froze for a moment. It was a rather fine number, and it gave her a sense of familiarity. "Is it a genuine plate? Could it be a cloned plate?"

"I don't know if it is cloned or not, but I have already requested the file through the relevant department. This number belongs to a classified archive, part of a block assigned to a special department. My clearance is not high enough to look it up. I am afraid only you can run the query yourself to find out where this plate comes from."

"Oh?" Song Lingshan was taken aback, then nodded. "All right, I will log into the system and check right now. If my clearance is not enough either, I will have to report to Chief Yang and ask for his help."

As she spoke, Song Lingshan switched on the computer on her desk, logged into the internal inquiry system, and entered her username and password to run the search.

Fortunately, Song Lingshan's clearance was sufficient. The screen immediately displayed the plate information: "TT000 is a plate belonging to the Songshan City Mysterious Investigation Bureau, with the corresponding civilian plate being FX520..."

At this point Song Lingshan felt something was even stranger. That TT000 had already felt familiar, and this FX520 felt all too familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before.

"FX520?" Liu Wangli also found the number very familiar.

"Let me run another check..." Song Lingshan hurriedly looked up the registration information for FX520. When the result came up, her eyes widened in shock and she cried out before she could stop herself, "Huh! How is that possible?"

"What's wrong, Captain Song?" Liu Wangli asked quickly.

"FX520 was first registered to an Audi TT owned by Feng Xiaoxiao, and just a while ago the number was transferred. Now it belongs to a Land Rover Discovery..." Song Lingshan felt as though she had seen a ghost alive.

"Feng Xiaoxiao... That's right! I remember now. Back at the underground racetrack, when we joined Feng Tianlong of the Mysterious Investigation Bureau to arrest the Red Conch criminals, that Land Rover seemed to have been driven away by Wei Zhao, and the plate registered afterward was transferred from that scrapped Audi TT..." Liu Wangli said, "Could it be... that Wei Zhao did all these cases?"

"Impossible!" Song Lingshan denied it instinctively! She knew Wei Zhao's character all too well. How could Wei Zhao go rob a bank? Moreover, what was being done now was outrageous to gods and men alike -- robbing an old man selling roasted sweet potatoes, beating an innocent old woman in the street, even teasing and molesting young girls...

It was utterly unlike Wei Zhao! If Wei Zhao had wanted money, back in the ancient tomb with all that gold, silver, treasure, and priceless antiques, he had not even spared them a glance. Rob a bank now? Song Lingshan would never believe it if you told her!

Besides, Wei Zhao did not look at all like someone who would bully the weak. He could not even be bothered to bully his enemies half the time, let alone the helpless? As for flirting with young girls, that was even more absurd. If he had such tastes, would it not be far better to come tease her? Willing on both sides, and far more fun...

"But that is how things stand now..." Liu Wangli gave a bitter smile. "The evidence points this way. We can't just refuse to investigate, can we?"

Liu Wangli knew of the relationship between Song Lingshan and Wei Zhao, and he knew of Wei Zhao's contributions in solving several previous cases, but he could not simply rule Wei Zhao out on those grounds alone!

"In my opinion, we should immediately open an investigation into this Wei Zhao fellow, pull his file, and compare it with the figure in the videos to determine whether they are the same person," Wang Hekan said.

Although Song Lingshan did not believe Wei Zhao could be the criminal suspect, with the evidence pointing here she had no choice but to nod. "An investigation is fine, but Wei Zhao is a friend of mine. He should not even be in Songshan City right now. He had no opportunity at all to commit these crimes!"

"Officer Song, saying that is a little hasty, isn't it? How do you know he is not in Songshan City? Perhaps he slipped back in secret. Surely you are not with him every day?" Wang Hekan retorted.

"Well..." Song Lingshan hesitated for a moment, and in the end could only say, "Fine, then let's investigate..."

The police already had all the files on hand, and all the surveillance footage related to the cases had been compiled together. The group went to the conference room, where Liu Wangli quickly played the surveillance footage from the time of the crimes on the projector...

Before, Song Lingshan had only found the suspect's figure vaguely familiar, but watching it again now, her heart turned cold at once!

Wei Zhao! That figure had to be Wei Zhao's! Song Lingshan instantly pictured Wei Zhao in her mind... and he merged perfectly with the figure in the footage, becoming one and the same man!

Yet in her heart Song Lingshan still refused to believe that Wei Zhao could be this crazed bank robber! Investigating Wei Zhao was purely a professional necessity.

After watching the video, Liu Wangli pulled up several archived photos of Wei Zhao and showed them to everyone. Once the photos had been shown, Wang Hekan slapped the table and declared, "Judging by my many years of experience as a detective, this Wei Zhao is the criminal suspect! These two men are one hundred percent the same person -- no appraisal needed! I suggest you can move straight to an arrest!"

"Arrest him directly?" Song Lingshan raised an eyebrow, anger flaring at once. What was wrong with this Wang Hekan? One glance and he could identify the suspect? Besides, whether it was Wei Zhao still required confirmation by the technical division. How could he reach such a rash conclusion?

"Detective Wang, well... although Wei Zhao and the suspect do look very similar in build at present, whether it really is Wei Zhao still has to be verified by the technical division..." Liu Wangli could see Song Lingshan was angry, so he hurriedly smoothed things over -- after all, Wang Hekan was a detective they had invited in!
