Chapter 314: Key Points of the Case
Qiu Xuan finally knew where the sense of dΓ©jΓ vu that always came from when facing Evie. Before, she always thought that she would get used to Qin Jiuyuan's face for a while and couldn't adjust it suddenly, but now it seems that the "truth" that was the least close to the truth at the beginning was correct.
With a suffocation of her palm, the watery red juice exploded from the unknown fruit, echoing the blood splattered on her body.
What Qiu Xuan can be sure of and absolutely certain is that on the last Fool's Ship, at the critical moment when the portal opened, she stuck a knife into Zhao Yigui's heart one hundred percent. And she was the last person to enter the door and leave, and the moment she stepped out of that door, the door to desperation was completely closed to him.
But Zhao Yigui did not die.
Not only that, but he turned into what he thought was "Evie", and he also followed her to the proving ground of death.
The power of death is what he stole and he is the executioner of death. Is it highly likely that some kind of unspeakable agreement was reached between him and "death", and the death of the ruler pulled Zhao Yigui out of the dead domain, and Zhao Yigui became the most direct and effective blade for death to take revenge on himself.
Qiu Xuan felt that she was about to touch the corner of the truth.
Thinking about it, she lifted the quilt and got up from the hospital bed, but froze in place the next second.
The roommate stood in the shadows under the light with his back to him, and he couldn't see the look on his face clearly, and he didn't know when he came. Qiu Xuan blinked her eyes, and after being silent for a long time, she said, "Did they give you a medical note?" β
As expected, no one answered her.
Qiu Xuan leaned sideways to reach for the shoes on the ground, and while casually pulling out the catheter inserted in her arm, she cleared her throat, and just said the first word, a flower in front of her was pressed on the pillow.
Before she could react, she saw that her roommate, who was obviously doing a strong act, had red eyes on the spot and gave her a macho cry.
Qiu Xuan: "......"
It seemed that he also felt embarrassed, and his roommate turned his head over and wiped his face, and then turned back after wiping the moisture from his eyes, and his face returned to his previous expressionlessness. "You like him, don't you?"
"Of course not."
"Then you've liked him before." The roommate's tone was sworn with certainty, as if he had actually seen it with his own eyes before. He always remembered the moment of surprise and joy on the face of the man when he first saw Evie in the infirmary, as if he had seen salvation within reach through him.
No one would have thought that when they saw her kind of eyes, Xuanming, a cowardly and pitiful "dumb" who had never been seen by others, was about to go crazy with jealousy.
In fact, it was not the first time they had met in prison, as Xuan Ming had seen her as early as that day's government open day, including the court hearing. Once he saw the little girl take out the heart of the sea god from the body of the old god "Leviathan", and once he saw her expression indifferent in the face of the joint questioning and condemnation of almost the entire federal high-level.
The same two times, she was so bold that she was so calm that she was palpitating, she was such a person, but when she saw the prisoner named Evie, she would have such a look on her face.
The black flame in Xuan Ming's chest had been burning and scorching his heart, and at first, he was ecstatic to see that the assigned cell or even the bed was next door to her. It's just that when I think of the scene in the daytime, I feel that everything in front of me is an eyesore, and I want to burn it to the ground.
Of course, the fire burned the entire world plane, and not a single spark would splash on her.
Xuan Ming had never had such an experience in his life as a "dumb background board" in the past, and he didn't even know what kind of name he should give this kind of feeling. At first, when she talked to him, she was not cold, but she really didn't know what way to reply, he was afraid that he would be disgusted if he didn't do well, and he was even more afraid that the person would never come to talk to him again.
He maintained what he did best, hiding in a dark corner without saying a word, watching the little girl step by step become the boss of Section D, watching her gradually become convinced, watching her light shine so brightly in such a prison that it made people look directly at the sun.
Seems......
All darkness was hidden in front of her.
The distance between the two was so close that the roommate held his breath and twitched his fingers slightly as he watched the blood splattered on the man's face. Suddenly, a clear footstep sounded, and the boss of Area C, who was already able to get out of bed and move, walked in from the outside, and raised his eyebrows when he saw the scene here.
As if thinking of something, she changed her previous look of watching a good show, and walked quickly with a conclusive anger on her face. "Why are you, your boss was injured like this for the sake of your district, and now you are white-eyed wolf and will take revenge on her like this? It's disgusting enough. β
She said with an expression of wanting to support Qiu Xuan, and waved the switchblade in her hand to this side, Qiu Xuan's expression was cold, and she didn't think about it, and her palm reached the back of her roommate's neck to hold the knife. In the next second, Feiran took the spur in his hand and took the switchblade back, and the meaning in his mouth was unclear, "Yo, it's all like this, and I'm still protecting it, when the boss is on you, I'm really ashamed, no, like." β
"There's something wrong with you." Qiu Xuan didn't hear the sarcasm that was about to overflow in her words, "My roommate is so good and well-behaved, and he never takes the initiative to cause trouble, so that's it, you still have to bully him, do you have a heart!" β
Fei Ran: "......? β
The vicious old brother Wei who has been pretending to be dead next to him but actually up his ears to eavesdrop: "......"
Fei Ran sneered absurdly, and stared at the poor little roommate who was silent and had been trying to stuff his one-meter-nine figure into Qiu Xuan's arms for a while. Hearing the boss of the D section who had personally sent the blade into his chest on the other side of his own hand turned his back to her and said calmly, "What happened here today, I hope it will stop at the mouths of the two of you. If you get the word out, I'll do it. β
The vicious brother silently pulled up the already tightly wrapped quilt again without leaving any room, and after a pause, he raised his eyes to look over, and then he was really stunned for a moment.
The mute prisoner named Xuanming buried her face in the neck of the boss of Section D, turned her back to the man, and looked at her with a gaze like a maggot, cold and terrifying.
β¦β¦
After barely lying in the hospital bed for another day, Qiu Xuan was finally allowed to get out of bed and walk around. But now there is not much time left for her, she can't get in touch with the necromantic space, she can only faintly perceive the necromantic inside boiling and screaming, thinking that it won't take long for the "Lu Xingzhou" to completely break free from the constraints of space and nightmares.
So that night, Qiu Xuan promised that she would be obedient to the infusion, and as soon as Qingwen left the cubicle, she immediately pulled out the catheter and stood up from the bed. Fei Ran, who was separated by a few beds, also didn't seem to be asleep, but when he saw the whole thing, he just snorted softly, and lay down in the quilt without moving.
Passing by the heavily guarded corridors of the prison, she didn't want to make more effort to challenge the bottom line of the prison, so she simply walked openly under the guns of all the guards. Such an attitude was so frank that people were confused, and they hesitated for a while, and finally, when they passed a corner, a familiar looking prison guard strode over with a group of people.
"What are you doing, do you have a decree to run around during curfew?" The middle-aged prison guard looked at her and said, "Follow me to the interrogation room." β
Originally, Qiu Xuan could rely on her relationship with the prison director to excuse herself, but the next second she squinted her eyes and saw the prison guard's face clearly, and followed him to the confinement room without saying a word.
That was the last time the prison guard who helped the police officer named Fu Yan sneak in to visit the prison, and he did not hesitate to hurt the righteous young prison guard Jas in the process of escorting Qiu Xuan back when the matter was revealed.
He took the initiative to come to him today, which means that Fu Yan's investigation has progressed.
Sure enough, Qiu Xuan was taken to a familiar interrogation room, and after some familiar bribery operations between the upper and lower levels in prison, only middle-aged prison guards, Fu Yan and Qiu Xuan were left in the cramped interrogation room. The prison guard nodded at Fu Yan, said "I'll go outside and guard" and opened the iron door and went out, Fu Yan took off the prison guard's uniform hat on her head to disguise and blend in, and her expression didn't seem to be as happy as Qiu Xuan thought about the progress of the case.
"I've looked everywhere, and this matter must not have been done by the district chief."
The officer began with the words, taking a long breath and leaning back in the interrogation chair.
Qiu Xuan had already heard from the inmates who came and went in the infirmary, and during the few days she was hospitalized, as the warden had promised, the head of Thorn Rose came to the federal prison one day for a one-day inspection. So Fu Chang, who was suspended outside on this day, was able to use abnormal means to investigate the district chief, but now it seems that the results are not ideal.
"Because I'm a fan of this, I'm sensitive to it, and I have a brother who is good at trace identification...... But nothing was found, nothing. Fu Yan's face was clearly tired and serious, "It's not the kind of clumsy practice of removing all traces, but it's all on it, but it's all normal and incomparable, and it doesn't even seem to have anything to do with this case." β
"It's just that I don't understand, really, how is this possible?"
The officer, who couldn't tell her age at all, propped his hands on the table and looked at her, "At the moment, it seems that the district chief is the most likely suspect, but the results of the investigation are not deceiving, and the result is that he has nothing to do with this matter, and even all the plans we originally envisioned will be reversed." β
ββ¦β¦ Maybe you're thinking too much, the government is right to arrest people, and I'm the thief? Qiu Xuan paused for a while and said. The roommate told her at the time that on the open house that day, he saw with his own eyes that the person who stole the key was "Qiu Xuan". The roommate wouldn't lie to her, so does that mean that this incident deviated from what they expected from the beginning?
Fu Yan looked at her with a solemn expression that she had never seen before, and she didn't look like she was happy at all because of the new ideas she had provided. "How much did they give you?"
Qiu Xuan: "What? β
"How much money did they give you, or a favor, to make you confess their sins?" Fu Yan's expression looked like she was sad or angry, and it was more of a coldness that pierced her bones. "In your opinion, your freedom, your innocence, and even the truth of the incident are not at all worth the benefits?!"
"Brother, calm down, let's take a good look." Qiu Xuan was still good-tempered and knocked on the table to pull his attention back, "I can clearly tell you that I didn't collect money or other benefits, whether you believe it or not, anyway, until now I have the same perspective on this case as you, and I am a closed-eyed player." β
"I really don't know what 'I' did at the scene of the crime that day, and I now say that it may have been stolen by 'me' because someone at the scene saw it that way. I'm in prison right now, and I can't do much about the outside investigation, so I can only tell you everything I know. β
Fu Yan sat opposite her and stared at her for a long time, trying to find some evidence of lying in her face. Immediately, he didn't know what conclusion he had reached, and looked away.
"It can't be you." The officer said.
"Why?"
"According to our information, the district chief of Thorn Rose has explicitly thrown an olive branch to you many times, but you have refused. On that day's open day, most of the people present were high-level people with background and strength in the Federation, and only you followed up because you were invited by the district mayor. In the middle of the open day, you are invited to a party held by the top officials of each district, and at the party, you don't know what happened to talk to Thorn Rose, so to speak, you have a complete turn with the mayor of Thorn Rose. And the 'Poseidon Heart' was researched by the District Chief's side of the Chief's side, the rival of their forces, the Research Institute, how could you help deal with their opponents before it was too late to dislike the District Chief? β
The mayor of Thorn Rose, the scientific research institute, the federal prison, the script "Qiu Xuan".
She was silent and drew a relationship map in her mind, and suddenly looked up and said, "Can the list of all the people who met with me that day, including any bodyguard staff, be sorted out for me?" β
ββ¦β¦ Yes, but it will take time. β
"The sooner the better." Qiu Xuan said quickly, "The district chief may not be the first offender, or he may not be the mastermind behind it, but he plays a key role in this case. Your investigation isn't completely clueless, just put together a list for me as soon as possible, and I'll get back to you laterβby the way, if I want to find you, just go to the prison guard, right?" β
Fu Yan sighed, "The above are already watching me, and it is very likely that this is the last time we will meet." β
