Chapter 700 - Swapping the Pillar

Menge, who was already in a bad mood, naturally became even more irritated when he saw someone blocking his way and shouted, "Get out of my way!"Unfortunately for him, the newcomers didn't move. The y...Chapter 700: Switching Places Undisturbed Chinese Web Novel

Mu Han was stunned for a moment before she gradually understood, "Husband, are you saying that someone else is being held captive in place of Cai Pengcheng"

"Yes. Since the person now inside isn't actually that fool Cai Pengcheng, I didn't bother to retrieve him." Xia Tian nodded his head. "The guy had wrapped his whole head in gauze, so no one would suspect anything odd about him being switched out. From the looks of it, Cai Pengcheng must have fled as soon as he could."

"No wonder Cai Pengcheng turned himself in—he must've been prepared for this all along." Mu Han mused to herself.

Xia Tian felt somewhat depressed. "Wife, we're now faced with a bit of a dilemma. I have no idea how the fool has changed over time, so it's going to be harder to track him down."

"Don't worry, Husband. This time around, Cai Pengcheng will definitely be caught off guard by your actions, meaning that even if he was prepared for something like this, his preparation won't have been thorough enough." Mu Han tried to reassure Xia Tian. "From the moment Cai Pengcheng was taken out of the hospital by Pinghai Police until he was transferred to custody, there wasn't much time in between. Furthermore, whoever stood in for him would definitely need to meet up with Cai Pengcheng beforehand. If we thoroughly investigate the matter, it should be possible to determine when exactly they swapped places. And if we can find surveillance footage from that day, we might even be able to identify how Cai Pengcheng looks now."

Mu Han paused and then added, "Honey, I think you may need to go in again. You still have to bring that person out. We must find out who he is first so that we can better search for Cai Pengcheng."

"Oh, okay, I'll get him out right away!" As soon as Xia Tian said this, he vanished from Mu Han's sight. This time around, the experienced Xia Tian returned to the car in less than a minute, but he wasn't alone; he was holding a man whose head was wrapped up like a粽子 (zongzi).

"Honey, take off the bandages on his head," Mu Han said.

Xia Tian had initially wanted to just tear off the bandages, but then he remembered something and carefully removed them instead. A very ordinary face appeared before the two of them.

This guy was obviously tampered with by Xia Tian; at this moment, he was unconscious and completely unaware of what was happening. Xia Tian didn't expect to get any information from him either; in his opinion, even if the guy knew something, it wouldn't be about Cai Pengcheng's current whereabouts.

Mu Han took out her phone to take a photo and also retrieved a fingerprint scanner to obtain this man’s fingerprints as well.

"Husband, it's done." Mu Han said and suddenly exclaimed with an "eh": "This guy is a lawyer"

"Wife, have you already found out this guy’s identity" Xia Tian hurriedly asked.

“That’s right, he’s called Ding Ze, a practicing lawyer. According to the information I obtained, he isn’t someone good; he specializes in defending people from the underworld." Mu Han nodded and then suddenly thought of something: "Right, husband, wake him up, I have some questions for him."

Upon hearing what Mu Han said, Xia Tian took out a silver needle and pricked Ding Ze twice.

Ding Ze opened his eyes rather hazily and almost screamed in shock because he saw the barrel of a gun. At the same time, he also heard an icy voice next to him: “If you don’t want to die, answer my questions truthfully!”

"You... who are you What do you want" Ding Ze asked timidly.

"I'm asking you, did you only start to deal with him after Cai Pengcheng was taken into custody" Mu Han asked coldly.

"I—I don’t know what you’re talking about," Ding Ze pretended not to understand, "Y—You guys better let me go, or else I’ll scream for help!"

Mu Han snorted coldly, "Go ahead and scream. Even if you do, no one will hear the sound from here. Don’t think that it’s a good idea to call for help either; killing you won’t get me in any trouble because I can say that I did it when I saw you trying to escape. The police might even thank me!"

Ding Ze glanced outside and realized he was indeed somewhere beyond the detention center, causing him a moment of unease.

"Hey, idiot! Speak up or I’ll kill you!" Xia Tian shouted impatiently.

Ding Ze looked at Xia Tian, suddenly remembering something as his tone turned fearful: "Y—You’re Xia Tian"

"That's right, it's me!" Xia Tian sounded a bit impatient.

"Ding Ze, I'll ask you once more. After Cai Pengcheng was taken to the detention center, did you visit him under your lawyer identity and then switched places with him" Mu Han's voice grew colder.

Ding Ze hesitated slightly before nodding: "That’s right. Before he entered the detention center, those police officers from Pinghai Province were constantly keeping an eye on us, leaving no opportunity for any action; therefore, we only found our chance after he was inside the detention center."

"You frequently interact with people at the detention center and they should all recognize you. If they only see you go in but not come out, they would definitely start to doubt something." Mu Han continued asking: "Then tell me, did you bribe everyone at the detention center or is it because Cai Pengcheng actually looks exactly like you now"

Ding Ze’s expression changed slightly before he answered softly: "He resembles me."

"So that idiot Cai Pengcheng actually made himself look just like you!" Xia Tian glanced at Ding Ze with a hint of surprise. "To be honest, your body types do seem quite similar."

"It's because my figure is the most similar to his, so he had himself altered to look like me," Ding Ze knew Summer's identity and no longer dared to keep anything hidden. "Now, he can use my identity to appear in public without any issues."

“If he kills you, he could become a lawyer!” Mu Han snorted coldly. "Do you know where he went"

"I truly don't know about that. But it seems like he wants to first leave the capital city and go somewhere else to hide for now. I heard him say that he plans on returning after Summer leaves the capital," Ding Ze replied.

Mu Han nodded slightly; she didn’t need any more information from Ding Ze since knowing that Cai Pengcheng looks exactly like him was enough.

"I, I told you everything. Can you let me go now" Ding Ze asked at this point.

“Husband, what if we call the police station” Mu Han thought about it and asked.s man was being too greedy; he would be struck by lightning!"Meier is my wife. If you don't believe me, go ask her yourself!" Xia Tian glared at Sun Bowen in dissatisfaction. "Anyway, all of you who a...
