Translator: Henyee Translations ‘ Editor: Henyee Translations
No matter who hurt Third Brother and what their motive was, Murong Qiao was aware that she was their real target. After some thoughts, she sent a message to Jiang Chi, asking him to help her investigate something.
Murong Chuan, who was still experiencing the anesthetic effect, closed his eyes and fell asleep. Murong Qiao stared at him for a long time before finally looking away and pulling Huo Yichen away.
The two of them passed through the disinfectant-smelling corridor of the hospital and went out to the sunny garden outside.
The old people were sitting at the side comfortably playing chess or chatting while a few children ran around excitedly.
This was originally a happy scene, but the current Murong Qiao was not in the mood to appreciate this.
She took a deep breath and said slowly, “Before you came, I was really afraid
for a moment that Third Brother would…”
Murong Qiao did not finish her sentence. Perhaps she felt that it was too cruel, or it evoked her fear of death.
-It’s fine. He’s resting well inside now.” Huo Yichen stroked her smooth long
hair and comforted her gently.
But what if Huo Yichen didn’t arrive in time?
Murong Qiao was thinking about this question in her heart. Then, after thinking for a long time, she still could not get an answer.
A slightly bitter smile suddenly appeared on Murong Qiao’s cold face, as if some emotion was emerging in her heart.
“I’m going to the police station. What about you?” She looked up at Huo Yichen.
The faster this matter was resolved, the better Murong Qiao would feel.
Huo Yichen did not speak. He only waved the car key in his hand.
At around two in the afternoon, even the guards at the entrance of the police station looked a little sleepy. A black car slowly stopped at the entrance of the police station and a very eye-catching man and woman got out.
Murong Qiao explained the situation to the person at the door and also contacted the female police officer who had taken her statement previously to testify. Hence, she successfully obtained the opportunity for the two of them to enter the police station.
“YOU came at the right time. We were just about to contact you.” The person who received her was still the female police officer who took her statement.
Perhaps it was because the two of them were already familiar with each other, but this made Murong Qiao relax a lot.
They casually arrived at a guest room. Then, the female police officer turned around and left. In a few minutes, she took out the information and came in to place it in front of Murong Qiao.
“This is the information we’ve temporarily got from the investigation. Take a look first” The female police officer pointed at the information and explained, -We’ve found out this person’s identity and name, but ever since we brought him back from the mall, he had been sitting in the interrogation room without saying a word.”
After the man was brought to the chair in the interrogation room, he seemed to have fused with the chair and was like a silent statue. He sat there and allowed the police officers to pressure him or threaten him, but he remained silent.
If not for the fact that everyone could see his breathing and rolling eyes, they would probably think that he was a dead person.
Murong Qiao exchanged glances with Huo Yichen, who was sitting beside her.
Then, she reached out and opened the document placed in front of her by the female police officer.
The information was surprisingly just a piece of A4 paper, and most of it was
still blank.
His name was Li Yao. He was 28 years old and lived in a single apartment.
Other than that, there was nothing else.
Murong Qiao raised her eyebrows and frowned. Then, she turned her gaze from the almost blank piece of paper to the female police officer beside her.
Her gaze was silent and filled with indescribable confusion, as if she was saying to others, “You’ve investigated for so long, but this is all you got.”
The policewoman seemed to know that the results they had produced were really not satisfactory, so she coughed awkwardly and took the initiative to explain.
“This person has never had many friends. We went to his house and asked the people around him, but no one seemed to know him. He’s usually elusive, an no one knows what he does.”
The police station had their own procedures for investigation, so after they visited the man’s home and neighbors, they obtained unsatisfactory results.
Forget it. It was better than nothing.
Murong Qiao took a photo of this information and sent it to Jiang Chi, hoping that it would be of some use.
After all, she was not expecting the results of the police investigation alone to reveal the truth.
Murong Qiao put the information aside and looked at it before making her request to the policewoman.
“Can we take a look at the surveillance cameras at the mall?” Her goal was clear.
There were many things in the mall, and the surveillance cameras were definitely one of them. In order to prevent all kinds of disputes, there were countless surveillance cameras set up in various unknown corners. At the very least, they could tell from the surveillance cameras when the other party started following them, or they might be able to obtain more effective information.
“We’ve already copied it and placed it next door. Follow me.” Seeing Murong Qiao say this, the policewoman stood up and led the way.
When they arrived at the event location to deal with the incident, the police had already communicated with the mall and obtained a complete copy of the surveillance footage of that day to bring to the police station for research.
When Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen went over, the surveillance cameras were playing at the beginning. The camera was focused on the main entrance of the poached meat shop, so they could see the people coming and going and everyone’s relatively clear faces.
The surveillance cameras were long and boring. Murong Qiao simply sped up the search for the person she wanted.
There were not many people dressed in black from head to toe, so Murong Qiao found the other party without any effort and watched the moment he secretly followed her and Third Brother into the shop.
Then, he pretended to be their waiter to take their food order, before attacking them. In the end, Third Brother could be seen being carried away.
The surveillance cameras recorded everything happening in the shop.
“Wait,” Murong Qiao suddenly said.
She quickly pressed the pause button and the scene froze at a certain moment. Murong Qiao blinked and moved closer to the screen. Seeing that it was a little blurry, she adjusted it forward for two seconds.
Hence, a graceful and especially conspicuous figure stood out from the crowd. Murong Qiao recognized this person at a glance.
Jiang Weiyang.
She said the other party’s name softly.
The scene was of Murong Chuan, covered in injuries, being carried out on a stretcher.
The stretcher was at the door. The onlookers made way for her. It was also because of this that Murong Qiao suddenly captured such a familiar figure and recognized her.
Huo Yichen and Murong Qiao watched at the same time. When they saw Jiang Weiyang appear at the event location, they frowned.
The female police officer stood at the side and saw this reaction. Then, she looked at the screen and acutely sensed it.
“Is there someone you know?” she asked.
From the looks of it, something was wrong. Moreover, seeing their reactions, the female police officer immediately perked up.
To appear at the event location and watch without offering any help, that person must not be a friend. Hence, it was difficult not to think too much about it.
Murong Qiao was silent, her eyes fixed on the screen. It was clearly Jiang Weiyang’s back.
Was it a coincidence that she was here?
