Supreme Divine Physician in the City-Chapter 675: The Murderer

The uninvited guests bursting into the banquet were detectives from Huayun City Police Department’s Criminal Investigation Unit.

Upon seeing that police had entered, the guests in the hall were all befuddled and ceased their activities, showing confusion and incomprehension.

This was merely the scene of a private party, what were the police doing here?

Moreover, the Blue Pavilion was Du family’s domain, and today it was hosting a birthday party for Liu Ying, the niece of Du Yunfeng. The police intruding at this time was a direct insult and embarrassment to the Du family.

One must know that the Du family was the second-largest family in Huayun City, possessing substantial influence and means, not something the Huayun Police Department could afford to offend!

And they had come uninvited; clearly, they intended to confront the Du family!

How had the Huayun Police Department become so audacious?

This group of uniformed police officers was highly conspicuous as they walked through the hall, dropping the atmosphere to pin-drop silence.

Similarly, this captured the attention of Du Yunfeng at the front of the seating area, who then focused his gaze on them.

"Excuse me sir, I am Du Yunfeng of the Du family, what brings you to our establishment?" he asked, frowning slightly as he strode over, his eyes sweeping over the seven or eight police officers, his voice serious.

Anyone’s mood would sour if their banquet were suddenly disrupted by the police! Although Du Yunfeng was displeased, he did not show it.

"Good day, Mr. Du, I am Captain Chen Long from the Huayun Police Department’s Detective Squad."

The leading square-faced police officer took out a badge from his pocket and flashed it in front of Du Yunfeng.

He then spoke apologetically,

"Mr. Du, I’m terribly sorry for the intrusion, but we must commence an urgent investigation at once! If our presence here is inappropriate, I ask for your understanding."

Hearing this, Du Yunfeng looked somewhat better. He calmly replied, "That’s quite alright, as it’s the police’s duty to handle such matters."

After speaking, he changed the subject, "May I ask, Officer Chen, what matter requires attention? However, we are currently celebrating my niece’s birthday here and I fear there might not be any case for you to manage."

Although Du Yunfeng spoke politely, his intent to refuse was clear.

"Mr. Du, to be plain with you, it is exactly because you are hosting a party that we came here after receiving a message."

Chen Long smiled slightly, seemingly oblivious to the implication in the other’s words.

Hmm?

Du Yunfeng paused, furrowing his brows, "Officer Chen, are you suggesting that someone you are pursuing is here in my pavilion?"

Chen Long nodded, "Indeed! We are investigating a severe murder case, and according to the information we have received, the murderer is hiding at the party. Therefore, we request Mr. Du’s cooperation in our investigation."

"What? A murderer at the party?"

Du Yunfeng’s frown deepened, he asked with a heavy voice, "Officer Chen, do you have any evidence? And who is this murderer you speak of?"

"As for evidence, we would need the individual to come with us for further investigation. From what we know, the murderer’s name is Ye Xuan, and here is his photo!"

Chen Long stated nonchalantly, then took out a photo from his pocket and handed it to Du Yunfeng:

"Mr. Du, is this man currently at your club?"

---

Wow!

Chen Long’s words, like dropping a massive bomb, immediately stirred up an uproar in the crowd.

Damn!

Did I hear that right?

This police officer is actually calling Ye Xuan a murderer, are they sure they haven’t made a mistake?

Attracted by the commotion earlier, Hua Tian, who stood by watching the spectacle, had a cold smirk spreading at the corner of his mouth.

This is getting interesting! Let’s see how arrogant you can be now, kid. You dared to compete with me for a woman, now get ready to rot in jail!

Meanwhile, Du Yunfeng, after receiving the photograph, looked at it and raised his eyebrow, "That’s right! He’s here, and he’s together with my niece."

What?

Chen Long was shocked and sternly said, "This man is with your niece? Mr. Du, he is a murderer, and for the safety of your niece, please allow me to arrest him immediately! Can you tell me where he is?"

Before Du Yunfeng could respond, a cold voice emerged from the side, "Are you looking for him? He’s with me!"

As the words fell, Liu Ying came down from the stage, arm in arm with Ye Xuan.

Standing before Mr. and Mrs. Du Yunfeng, Liu Ying’s icy eyes fixed on Chen Long as she blandly asked,

"Officer Chen, is this gentleman by my side the murderer you’re referring to?"

Chen Long was taken aback. Frowning, he scrutinized Ye Xuan and, noticing he was exactly like the man in the photograph, his expression changed and he said,

"Yes, it’s him! Miss Liu, this individual is suspected of being involved in a homicide, and we need to take him in for questioning."

"Officer, the homicide incident you mentioned, isn’t it the one that occurred last night in the presidential suite at the Grand Regal Hotel?" Liu Ying asked coldly.

Caught off guard by her knowledge, Chen Long hesitated before responding, "Yes, Miss Liu, it was indeed last night at the Grand Regal Hotel. Last night at eleven, this man struggled with a man and a woman. After they fled the hotel, both were found dead. Therefore, we have reason to believe that Ye Xuan is directly responsible for their deaths."

He finished with a solemn look, "Since you already know this, this man is the main culprit. Please hand him over immediately for arrest to prevent any further risk to others’ safety."

Still staring coldly at him, Liu Ying asked, "Then Officer Chen, may I know if you are aware of the identities of those two murdered individuals?"

This morning, she had heard from her cousin Du Mingcheng about Ye Xuan being targeted by assassins at the hotel last night.

Moreover, they both used their connections to help deal with the aftermath and were well-informed about the specifics!

She never expected the police to show up now, and with her intelligence, it wasn’t hard to guess that someone wanted to use this event against Ye Xuan.

The intent was clear – to target Ye Xuan!

Chen Long defended righteously, "Their identities are currently unclear to us, but what’s certain is that both victims died at Ye Xuan’s hands; we have solid evidence of his killing. As for their identities, our precinct is conducting an in-depth investigation."

"Unclear? Investigating?"

Liu Ying scoffed coldly, her face contorted with scorn as she glared at Chen Long:

"It seems to me that you are deliberately feigning ignorance! Anyone with a bit of insight would know that the two individuals killed were assassins in disguise. I can’t believe that your precinct, during the investigation, failed to ascertain their identities!"

"Moreover, Ye Xuan fought them because he was subjected to their assassination attempt, purely in self-defense! From a legal perspective, he surely isn’t at fault, right? In fact, Ye Xuan is the real victim here, yet you twist the facts, treating the assassins as the victims and accusing Ye Xuan of being a homicidal killer! Is this how haphazardly the police enforce the law? Truly an eye-opener for me!"
