"Along with Chang Sumeng who disappeared, there was also Jiang Feishun, Luo Ji’s previous lawyer."
"Both of them disappeared an hour ago."
The junior officer relayed the news he had just received to Yan Ren in a succession.
Yan Ren furrowed his brows and said solemnly, "So, just after we left the hospital, the two of them took off."
Sitting inside, when Nan Yu heard this, she sat up straight, furrowed her brows, and remained silent.
Yan Ren glanced at Nan Yu and knew that the situation was not as simple as it seemed on the surface; there were significant issues involved.
"Nan Yu, that will be all for your questioning for now. Do you have anything to add?"
Nan Yu gave Jiang Feishun’s address to Yan Ren, "Captain Yan, you might want to check this place out."
Yan Ren noted down the address and then placed the transcript in front of Nan Yu, "Take a look at the transcript and see if there’s anything wrong with it. If there are no issues, please sign it."
After quickly scanning the transcript from top to bottom and verifying that there were no problems, Nan Yu signed her name.
After returning the transcript to Yan Ren, she asked in a clear voice, "Has my lawyer arrived?"
Yan Ren looked towards the junior officer with a silent query.
The junior officer immediately said, "Her lawyer is already waiting outside and has also proposed bail."
Turning back to Nan Yu, Yan Ren continued, "You can go back with your lawyer for now, but for the following period, you must stay in City A, ensuring that you’re available on call and cooperate with all our arrangements."
Nan Yu stood up, "Alright, Captain Yan."
Having said that, she walked straight out.
Just as she went out, Sun Lu appeared in front of her, holding a coat, which she draped over Nan Yu’s shoulders.
"Miss Nan, are you alright?"
Meeting Sun Lu’s worried gaze, Nan Yu shook her head gently, "I’m fine, Captain Yan has been very considerate."
Standing inside the doorway, Yan Ren exuded righteousness, "Nan Yu has an alibi and is temporarily cleared of the main suspicion, but that doesn’t mean she is completely without any suspicion. We have restricted her movements and she must comply with the investigation at any time."
Sun Lu, having known Yan Ren from before, understood his character well - he did not fear those in power, standing only for fairness and justice.
"Captain Yan, I am very confident that Miss Nan is not the murderer. As long as we can catch the real perpetrator and clear Miss Nan’s name, we are ready to cooperate unconditionally with you in any way necessary."
By the time they left the police station, it was late at night.
The night wind blew against her, bringing a bone-chilling coldness.
Nan Yu pulled her coat tighter around her and got into the car with Sun Lu.
Once in the car, she asked Sun Lu beside her.
"Lawyer Sun, what happened with Chang Sumeng’s disappearance?"
Sun Lu had a complicated expression, her brows and eyes tightly knit together.
"Miss Nan, I was just about to tell you about this."
She opened her laptop and showed the information collected to Nan Yu.
"After you left, Chang Sumeng didn’t continue sitting at the entrance of the ward but took advantage of everyone’s inattention to leave via the staircase."
"The last time she was captured on surveillance, she was at the hospital entrance getting into an unlicensed black car and leaving the hospital."
Nan Yu looked at the black car in the video and squinted her eyes.
"And no trace of Chang Sumeng has been found since then?"
Sun Lu nodded, "Yes, she and the car vanished into thin air in City A, without leaving any trace, as if she got into a ’Ghost Car.’"
Nan Yu flipped through the surveillance footage repeatedly, her gaze growing deeper.
"And how did Jiang Feishun disappear?"
Perplexity clouded the depths of Sun Lu’s eyes as she pursed her lips and said, "Jiang Feishun’s disappearance is even more bizarre. According to the information I got, he rushed to the hospital after learning of Luo Ji’s death."
"At the hospital entrance, in broad daylight, he vanished into thin air."
