Quick Transmigration: The Villain Always Ends Up with the Male Lead

Chapter 171 Human Leaders Are Blind to the Truth (24)

The eyes of everyone at the door were filled with rage, as if this newcomer had committed some heinous crime.

Just as they were about to be handcuffed, the door next door opened.

Looking at the large crowd gathered in front of his door, Si Yan frowned, seemingly still confused about the situation. But upon seeing Shi Qi's handcuffed hands, Si Yan's expression darkened.

"What does this mean?" Si Yan's eyes were devoid of any emotion, and the oppressive aura of a level seven ability user was overwhelming, causing those who were about to step forward to restrain him to swallow hard.

For a moment, no one dared to approach him, until a man dressed differently and with a somewhat mean-looking face stepped out from behind the crowd: "What? You're quite arrogant on someone else's turf?"

"Don't you know how to handcuff people? Do I need to teach you how?!" The man stared intently at Si Yan and shouted loudly to the people behind him.

Although these people were terrified of Si Yan's aura, the man's oppressive presence was clearly even stronger for them; the man with the handcuffs behind them, under pressure, stepped forward with some trembling and reluctantly handcuffed Si Yan.

Si Yan clearly felt that the moment the handcuffs were put on, his energy seemed to be suddenly blocked, and his whole body seemed to suddenly return to the state of an ordinary person.

Si Yan moved his hand, and as expected, his superpower could not be used successfully. It seems that this inconspicuous handcuff has the function of completely suppressing superpowers.

"What are you doing?! Why are you arresting me for no reason?" Jiang Weilan, who lived in 303, was also handcuffed. Because he was confused, he struggled a few times, but thanks to his being a pure science "nerd" and having a medical attribute ability, his struggles were nothing to them. They easily pulled him out.

Moreover, because of his lack of cooperation, he was even kicked mercilessly by the people who were handcuffing him. "Behave yourself!"

When the three were handcuffed and taken to the building where the base commander lived, a large group of people in base uniforms had already gathered there. Through those people, you could see that He Chiyan's team and the other three members of Si Yan's team were also handcuffed there.

Upon seeing the people arriving, He Chiyan, who had been keeping a cold expression, suddenly became agitated.

He started cursing at them, "Sun Donghang, what the hell do you mean?! I haven't even settled accounts with you yet! What the hell do you mean by arresting me?!"

Following He Chiyan's gaze, Shi Qi saw the sharp-tongued man from before. If he remembered correctly, this was the name of the captain of the base's second team, the same name as the successor base commander in the original story. Perhaps because they arrived at the base early, they happened to witness the base undergoing a major upheaval.

Sun Donghang walked up to He Chiyan, looking contemptuously at the team leader who used to always be on his side: "What do I mean? You all conspired to kill the base commander! And you dare ask me what I mean?!"

"What?" He Chiyan's expression suddenly turned confused and helpless, as if he couldn't believe what he was hearing: "Explain yourself clearly, what do you mean by killing the base commander?! The base commander, he..."

He Chiyan raised his handcuffed hands and grabbed Sun Donghang's collar: "Was it you?! Did you kill him?! Sun Donghang, how dare you!"

Seeing He Chiyan's emotionally unstable state, Sun Donghang sneered, looking at him like he was watching a clown.

Then, as if he had seen enough of his ugly behavior, Sun Donghang forcefully pried open He Chiyan's hand that was gripping his collar: "Heh, what nonsense are you talking about? Everyone knows that you were the last people to see the base commander, and the body was found in the base commander's office ten minutes ago, so isn't it obvious who the murderer is?"

"You agree, don't you, Secretary Li?"

He Chiyan suddenly turned to look at Secretary Li, who had been standing guard in front of the base commander's office, his face full of disbelief, as if he did not believe that this person would testify for Sun Donghang.

But soon, he was disappointed.

Secretary Li nodded, and in front of so many people, he said without changing his expression, "Yes, I was the first to discover the base commander's body. Before that, no one else had entered the base commander's office except for them. So... the people who killed the base commander must be them."

After listening to Secretary Li's testimony, Si Yan suddenly understood why Zhong Yihuan hadn't assigned this secretary, who had always followed him, to himself; although he was unaware of the conflicts of interest within the base, what Secretary Li said was clearly not from an impartial perspective.

As Zhong Yihuan's right-hand man, Secretary Li's words practically confirmed that they were the murderers of the base chief.

Moreover, the evidence seems conclusive, and no one would believe the excuses these newcomers make to defend themselves.

"Hmph, are you convinced now?" Sun Donghang waved his hand and ordered, "Lock them up first, and decide on their disposal plan after the base's high-level meeting."

Shi Qi glanced at He Chiyan, who looked utterly dejected after hearing Secretary Li's words, and sighed helplessly: "Wait a minute."

Upon hearing this, Sun Donghang turned his gaze to Shi Qi. Although he had noticed the man's white hair earlier, upon closer inspection now, he realized that the man possessed a delicate and fragile beauty: "What, do you have a problem with that?"

Shi Qi ignored the uncomfortable look in his eyes as he was being scrutinized from head to toe, and tilted his head: "If you guard the crime scene and the body so closely that no one else can see them, does that mean that your goal is just to convict us, rather than to find the real murderer?"

"Want to see the scene of the crime?" Sun Donghang raised an eyebrow. "How can I guarantee you won't take the opportunity to destroy evidence?"

"I will have someone conduct the search myself, but it won't be you!" As he spoke, Sun Donghang reached out and pinched Shi Qi's chin, his eyes full of mockery.

Before he could retract his hand, he was suddenly knocked away by a force from the side.

Seeing Si Yan suddenly bump into him, and then glancing at Shi Qi, Sun Donghang put his hands back into his coat pockets and snorted, "Alright, take them all away."

Eleven people were each locked in eleven cells.

The soundproofing between the cells was excellent; once the specially made tempered glass door was closed, the room became a space that seemed completely isolated from the world.

Only Shi Qi, with his superhuman hearing, could hear Zhang Lie's shouts: "Boss? Brother Shi? Dr. Jiang? Can you hear me?"

No one responded to him; clearly, apart from Shi Qi, no third person heard his shouts.
