Chapter 1189: Chapter 1188: Giving the Family a Scare
Ye Qiu drove to the entrance of the City Police Bureau, parked the car, and went inside with Zhao Ruxue.
Currently, the middle-aged man was brought into an interrogation room, where officers were questioning his identity information. However, the man remained silent, like a mute.
At this moment, his name, place of birth, and home address, all were unclear.
Ye Qiu and Zhao Ruxue entered, seeing the man just sitting there.
"Captain Zhao, we just questioned him, but couldn’t get anything out."
"Did you search him for identity documents?"
"No."
The officer replied.
Ye Qiu mainly wanted to know where the real killer was, but the man in front might only be an accomplice.
"Li Fei, the owner of the Eiffel Chain Hotel, was actually killed by the Witch Gu, and I suspect that while he was searching for the Gu killer, someone cast Gu on him."
"Do you mean he caused the death of Mr. Li?"
Zhao Ruxue asked.
"Possibly his accomplice."
"If so, this case becomes serious."
Of course, the entire time, police personnel had been chasing clues without a lead, but now finally catching the killer, or at least an accomplice, could be considered a big achievement.
Ye Qiu observed the man’s appearance; he didn’t seem like he was from around here, clearly resembling someone from the ethnic minority areas of Miaojiang.
"Ye Qiu, let me question him."
Zhao Ruxue said.
Zhao Ruxue began interrogating the middle-aged man, but he remained silent like a mute, not speaking at all.
Could he really be mute?
Ye Qiu guessed that the man wasn’t mute, he just chose not to speak.
If the man didn’t want to speak, Ye Qiu had a thousand ways to make him talk.
Sure enough, before long, the middle-aged man felt pain in his chest, spreading throughout his body, causing him to roll on the ground in agony, his face contorted as Ye Qiu asked, "Better tell me about your accomplice."
But the man only stared fiercely at Ye Qiu.
People like him weren’t ordinary; they could endure even the most intense pain.
Sure enough, even in agony, he still wouldn’t open his mouth.
Zhao Ruxue watched his state, uncertain how to proceed with the interrogation.
"We can only detain him first, until we clarify his identity and then investigate further."
Zhao Ruxue said.
However, Ye Qiu felt that since the man could cast Gu, they had to be cautious while detaining him here.
Of course, earlier, Ye Qiu had already released a type of cancer virus into the man; he didn’t believe the man could escape far.
"I’ll head back for now."
Ye Qiu said.
"You go back first; I’ll notify you of any results immediately."
Zhao Ruxue acknowledged that despite everything, Ye Qiu had helped her achieve another major accomplishment, not knowing how to express her gratitude.
Ye Qiu left the City Police Bureau, got into his car, and drove back to Peach Blossom Spring Villa.
Upon returning to the villa, he found the lights still on downstairs; could his parents not have rested yet?
Ye Qiu entered the first floor, indeed seeing Ye Weidong, his wife, and Ye Xue.
However, he noticed their expressions were somewhat uneasy.
Earlier, Chen Fang had returned to organize the rooms and suddenly saw someone lying motionless in one of the rooms, thinking the person might be dead.
It almost scared Chen Fang half to death!
But then, thinking it could be someone Ye Qiu brought back, she had no idea what to do, so she waited for Ye Qiu to come back.
"Mom, Dad, Sister, why haven’t you all rested yet?"
"Ye Qiu, that room upstairs?"
Chen Fang asked.
"Mom, what are you talking about?"
"Is that woman dead or alive?"
"She’s alive."
"Why did you bring a woman like that back here?"
Ye Weidong asked curiously.
"Dad, I told you, you wouldn’t understand."
Ye Qiu hadn’t expected to actually scare his parents.
He could only go upstairs to wake Xia Jing. Of course, the thief who stole the corpse was caught, but whether he cast Gu on Xia Jing was still uncertain.
When Ye Xue went up with him, she felt she might have seen this woman somewhere before.
"Ye Qiu, how did she end up like that?"
"She just temporarily entered a state of false death."
They opened the door to the room and entered; Xia Jing was indeed in a state of false death, looking no different than the corpses lying on the bed.
When Ye Qiu quickly revived her, Xia Jing opened her eyes.
She had no idea how long she’d been asleep; upon seeing Ye Qiu, she asked, "Dr. Ye, where am I? How long was I asleep?"
"A day and a night."
"That long? Where am I?"
"At my house."
Ye Xue said.
Xia Jing had known Ye Qiu for a while, but she hadn’t been to his home.
"The corpse thief has been caught; you can have your secretary come to pick you up."
Xia Jing was surprised; she hadn’t expected someone to want to harm her and take her body.
However, now she was both scared and hungry, having not eaten for so long, her body certainly couldn’t withstand it.
"I’m very hungry."
Xia Jing said.
"I’ll make you something to eat."
Ye Xue said.
She knew something had happened, but felt she had seen Xia Jing somewhere before.
But since Ye Qiu brought her here, it meant they definitely knew each other.
Ye Qiu left the room and went back to his own.
It was already so late, he didn’t continue with his cultivation.
After taking off his clothes, he lay down to sleep deeply.
When he woke up, the sunlight outside the window was somewhat glaring, and seeing the time, it was already past nine in the morning.
Ye Qiu got up to brush his teeth and prepare for breakfast, surprised to find his parents and sister weren’t home, but Xia Jing was still there.
Last night, Xia Jing had explained briefly to Ye Weidong and his wife why she was here, so they hadn’t worried anymore.
After all, Ye Qiu had caught the culprit, thus doing so.
"Dr. Ye, thank you. I’ve already asked Xiaomei to come pick me up."
Last night, Xia Jing realized that aside from Ye Qiu being somewhat indifferent to her, his family was very nice. Last night, Ye Xue prepared her a plentiful supper and she had a good sleep.
And when she woke up this morning, she explored the villa and realized Ye Qiu was wealthier than she had imagined.
Ye Qiu went to eat breakfast, ignoring Xia Jing.
Once her friend Xiaomei arrived to take Xia Jing back, Ye Qiu called Zhao Ruxue to ask how the interrogation was going.
