"How can your actions be considered legal? Do you know how many families have been harmed because of these filthy thoughts? This method, while seeming to relieve stress on the surface, only infinitely inflates a person's desires, leading them to become addicted to such pleasures and lose sight of their responsibilities to their families!"
"You sound very self-righteous, but who doesn't have stress nowadays? If there's no hope or joy to be found in one's family, how can people go on without seeking these diversions? Are they supposed to be wasted by mundane family life?"
"You say that so easily. Bring out your responsible person, I have something to say to them!"
"I am the person in charge here, my surname is Yang!"
"Is that so? Take them all away!"
In truth, I had no intention of wasting my breath arguing with them. The reason I spoke earlier was solely to confirm who the person in charge was. At the time, our officers were already searching the premises and apprehending everyone inside.
Xiahou pulled out a few individuals from the shadows and told me, "Deputy Director, these individuals were attempting to escape just now, but I brought them back."
"Deputy Director?" Everyone who heard my title at that moment was terrified. They thought some major case had occurred, requiring the Director himself to intervene.
"Take them away!" I said coldly. No one dared to delay and they were all escorted out according to my instructions. As we passed the train station, many waiting passengers looked around, wondering what was happening. Fortunately, police officers were nearby to maintain order, otherwise, we would have encountered further obstruction. If anyone tried to take photos, they were to be stopped immediately. Can't people be a little less curious these days?
Of course, this is one of the greatest characteristics of our countrymen, and it cannot be changed.
Upon returning to the Provincial Department, the young man was immediately taken to the interrogation room. I took out photos of the two deceased individuals and, pointing to their faces, said, "Lei Feibai, don't tell me you haven't seen these two. They are both members of your association!"
"So what if they are? Our association has so many members, how would I recognize them? We're talking about thousands of people. You'd best go find Manager Xie who handles personnel. I'm the boss, responsible only for assigning tasks and holding meetings."
"Putting that aside for now, tell me, when did the association start?"
"It's been several years. What's wrong? You might not know, but this s,
Liu Yuning said that her side was also not optimistic. Those people claimed they joined the association purely out of interest, and since it was voluntary, there was nothing we could do. Moreover, they didn't remember who Quan Yingzhen and Fu Yongyuan were, and all of them denied any connection to these two.
With so many people in the association, how could not a single one remember? I felt they had colluded beforehand. This was interesting; it was likely that something had happened in s, m that they didn't want to admit.
Of course, this was my speculation. When I met the Manager Xie mentioned by Lei Feibai, she was a seemingly mature woman with a gentle appearance. However, I suspected she might also be fond of s, m.
This was because, upon facing the members, I noticed that a majority of them were rather introverted and appeared bookish. They seemed to be living a rather dull life at home, or perhaps had poor marital relationships. Such individuals were more susceptible to the allure of s, m.
When asked about the two deceased, Manager Xie stated, "I do remember them. These two knew each other and had been with the s, m association for some time. I recall it being over a year. Quan Yingzhen wasn't a member initially; she was introduced by Fu Yongyuan. However, they didn't know each other beforehand; they met through the internet."
"Now, these two are dead. If you don't want us to suspect you, you'd better rack your brains and recall if there were any strange signs or any unusual events before these two met their demise!" Liu Yuning, standing beside me, said sternly.
Manager Xie hesitated, then became somewhat impatient. "Haven't our people already told you? Even though they were members of the association, they weren't with the association when they died, so how is it our problem? Why aren't you looking for the real killer and instead bothering us? It's a complete waste of time. I'm telling you, if this continues, the real killer will keep killing!"
As soon as Manager Xie finished speaking, Liu Yuning seized the opportunity. "Oh? Manager Xie, the way you speak makes it sound like you know the killer. Do you have some connection?"
"Officer Liu, you're talking nonsense. Isn't this something anyone could guess? Crime dramas on television depict it this way, don't you know?"
This person even dared to retort, thinking she could get off scot-free. Fortunately, I was clever enough to have already obtained some evidence, which was provided by He Xin.
We found a video of Xie Yuxiao, also known as Manager Xie, meeting with the two deceased recently.
