CHAPTER 192: CHAPTER 115: THE XIA FAMILY’S CRISIS (PART 2)

Cai Hai’s brother, Cai Yang, who is five years younger than Cai Hai, learned about the incident from an agent who had escaped on the day of the incident. Although younger than Cai Hai, Cai Yang held a higher position, as he was not just an ordinary police officer but the captain of a deputy-provincial level special police squad. Unlike Cai Hai, Cai Yang was formally trained, and he was a person who fought to the death on missions; he had been awarded two national first-class merits and more than ten second-class merits, equivalent to a Captain in the military region.

Cai Hai’s position as a detective also owed some credit to Cai Yang’s influence. The brothers had been close since childhood. Cai Hai’s death had infuriated Cai Yang, who personally commanded the provincial special police team to station in Bazhou City, vowing not to withdraw until the person who killed Cai Hai was captured.

Cai Yang had evidence that Simon was the killer, but Simon was like a rat that nestles everywhere, and since the crackdown in Bazhou, he had not been seen in Qianze Street again.

Unable to find Simon, Cai Yang had no choice but to stake out near the Xia Family’s residence. He held some integrity, not resorting to chasing people away like Cai Hai, but instead he directly took Xia Yun along with Maggie Xia, and even several employees at the store were "invited" to leave.

When Xia You returned home and couldn’t find her mother and sister, she called Xia Yun’s mobile phone. Only then did she learn that her mother had been detained at the police station for several days.

When Xia You arrived at the police station, she hadn’t seen Xia Yun and the others before she was directly taken into an interrogation room.

"Xia You, where is your elder brother Simon?" Cai Yang knew about another daughter of the Xia Family who he had heard was away on a business trip recently. He checked the data; unlike Simon, Xia You was a genuine college student and seemed well-behaved, so he hadn’t urgently "invited" her over.

However, after three or four days, the elder of the Xia family only knew to shake her head without speaking, and the younger one just cried, causing unrest at the police station. Xia You’s arrival somewhat eased Cai Yang’s frustration.

"Sorry, Officer, you have no right to interrogate me," Xia You looked at the policeman in front of her, who somewhat resembled Cai Hai and by observing the attitude of other policemen around, she guessed he might be someone even more formidable than Cai Hai.

"Miss Xia, you are now in the Bazhou City police station. As long as you are here, I have every right to interrogate you," Cai Yang looked at Xia You, a fierce color rising in his eyes.

"I’ll say it again, Officer, you have no right to interrogate me. And my mother and sister, especially my sister, an underage, you have no right to detain her. Moreover, my mother has been detained for over seventy-two hours, you are seriously infringing upon the rights of citizens," Xia You firmly stated, which only displeased Cai Yang further.

"Oh, I thought people who studied secretarial work would only be inept at typing. Who knew Miss Xia could be quite sharp-tongued," Cai Yang sized up Xia You and spoke dismissively.

He pressed a button on the phone, "Call Xiao Chen in."

A police officer came in. Cai Yang instructed, "Release the Xia mother and daughter. Wait for them to leave the police station, then immediately bring them back on charges of trafficking in poisonous food."

Across, Xia You glared angrily at Cai Yang.

This Cai Yang was far more formidable than his brother Cai Hai.

"I’ve released them now, let’s bring them back after seventy-two hours, how does that sound? As for your underage sister, to prevent an underage person from being unattended, we can only keep her beside her mother, what do you say, Miss Xia?" Cai Yang, accustomed to the various methods of police interrogation, didn’t think much of a sharp-tongued woman acting tough in front of him.

The sound of chairs moving, Xia You stood up, walked in front of Cai Yang, and said word by word, "I repeat, I demand that you release my mother and sister immediately, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what? Miss Xia, are you going to accuse me of abuse of power? You should know that civilians cannot contend with officials. To survive in Bazhou or even in Hua Country, it’s not about the law," Cai Yang signaled to Officer Xiao Chen with a gesture to follow his instructions and release the Xia family mother and daughter since Xia You was here.

He then stood up and switched on an interrogation lamp.

The lamp turned directly towards Xia You. The bright light shining into her eyes caused her pupils to shrink sharply, a stabbing pain.

"Citizens certainly have rights, we all know that," Cai Yang patted Xia You’s shoulder, whispering in her ear, "it’s just that these rights depend on the situation."

"Don’t trouble my mother and sister anymore, I’ll stay here, they don’t know anything. I know Simon’s whereabouts. Let them go and promise not to harass them anymore, then I’ll tell you his whereabouts." Xia You understood that someone from the Xia Family had to bear this ordeal.

Xia You’s words gave Cai Yang a surprised relief, like encountering sweet rain after a long drought. "Fine, I’ll release them, you tell me Simon’s whereabouts," since the person was already in the police station, if it didn’t work, he could detain her for up to ten days or half a month, Cai Yang had ways to break Xia You down and make her reveal everything. Besides, neighbors had also reported that Simon was only Xia You’s stepbrother, and their relationship was not good.

After releasing Xia’s mother and daughter, Xia You also ordered a cup of coffee, leisurely drinking. Only when the coffee was nearly finished did she say, "Officer Cai, I’m sorry, I don’t feel like speaking now." (To be continued.
