Chapter 80 -80: This case is not simple!
South Sea Police Station.
A group of six handed over their personal belongings and were led into the interrogation room for multiple suspects.

Meanwhile, two figures walked side by side down the opposite corridor.
The man in the police uniform was pot-bellied and thinning on top, but his shrewd eyes flanked by brows told of a canny nature.
He ingratiatingly said to the person beside him, “Master Qiu, rest assured about this matter.
We’ll definitely urge the criminal investigation department to capture the main culprits as soon as possible.”
The day before yesterday, a factory belonging to South Sea Machinery Holdings was burglarized, losing a batch of precision machinery parts.
The whole of the South Sea Police Station was shocked by the incident.
As a company representing the pinnacle of South Sea’s mechanical manufacturing industry, the loss of precision parts was no small issue.
Not only that, but the incident also alarmed the South Sea Secretariat, which put constant pressure on the police over the past two days to solve the case quickly.
At that moment, Qiu Huan looked straight ahead, ignoring the deputy director’s spiel, and peered at the interrogation room’s door with interest, nudging his lips, “What did those people do?”
The deputy director looked where he pointed, feeling somewhat perplexed.
Just then, the door of the interrogation room opened, and an interrogator walked out.
The deputy director immediately beckoned, “Xiao Wang, what case are you working on right now?”
Xiao Wang, holding a notebook, hurried over upon hearing the call, greeted the deputy director, and explained, “Someone sent an emergency text to the alarm center claiming to have been kidnapped.
We’ve just arrested the kidnapping gang, men and women alike, and are about to start the interrogation.”
The deputy director listened to Xiao Wang’s explanation without much thought, then turned to Qiu Huan and tentatively asked, “Master Qiu, is there any issue with this case?”
Qiu Huan looked at the deputy director with a smile that was more a smirk, enigmatic.
That girl he had just seen, she was Li Qiao, right?
From Elder Shang’s entourage?
A kidnapping gang?
Interesting!
Before long, Qiu Huan left the police station, while the deputy director stood at the entrance reflecting on his expression.
With years of experience in reading people while solving cases, he felt…
there was something complex about this kidnapping case!
So, slapping his thigh, the deputy director instructed Xiao Wang, who was trailing behind him, “Go, interrogate the kidnapping gang separately, question each one individually, and interrogate the person who reported the emergency too.
If anyone fails to cooperate, lock them up for three days first!
And yes, have the information department pull up all their records immediately.
I want to see them first!”
…
In the interrogation room, Li Qiao and Li Shaoquan along with the other four stood against the wall, facing four police officers sitting opposite them.
At that moment, the experienced interrogator, looking puzzled, gazed at the emergency report in his hand and tapped on the desk, “Who reported the emergency?”
He had handled numerous cases, but had never come across such a baffling kidnapping case.
The girl timidly raised her head, her voice trembling slightly, “It was, it was me.”
The officer glanced at her, “What is your relationship with the kidnapped person?”
“He is my boyfriend.”
“I have no relation to her.”
Two voices spoke simultaneously, with Li Qiao and Li Shaoquan each claiming differently.
The officer pointed at Li Shaoquan, cautioning, “I didn’t ask you.
Don’t talk.”
After a moment of silence, the lead interrogator, flustered, asked, “Are you siblings with the kidnapper?”
For the love of all, what a bizarre kidnapping case this was—a sister reporting her own kidnapping, only for the so-called kidnapper to be her brother, and the purported victim another man entirely.
Especially when the police, fully armed, had arrived at the apartment to find not only an open door but also the so-called kidnapper lying at the feet of a beautiful girl, the scene was a complete mess.
An onlooker unaware of the situation might even think they were shooting a TV drama about family betrayal.
