Chapter 196: Interrogation

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

He Yufeng had seen the official’s token before, so he recognized it at a glance.

Seeing that He Yufeng was looking at it carefully, Su Li shot him a look. He Yufeng nodded at her and told her with his eyes that this token was real.

Lu Xiaowei took back his token and said, “Since there’s no problem with our identities, can you answer my question now?” Su Li smiled and said, “Of course. We’re willing to cooperate with you.”

Lu Xiaowei asked, “Do you know Zhao Peng?”

Su Li blinked innocently. “I don’t know him. Who is he? Should I know him?”

She did not know Zhao Peng in the past. As for today’s one off encounter, she could say that she did not know his name.

Lu Xiaowei narrowed his eyes. “Think about it carefully.”

Su Li shook her head. “I really don’t know him. There’s no one with the surname Lu in our village!”

Lu Xiaowei took out a portrait from his pocket. The person on it was Zhao

Peng.

“You should know this person, right?”

Su Li said innocently, “I don’t know him, but I saw him today.”

“When we went to town today, we bumped into him delivering a funeral. Later on, we bumped into each other on the street. He even specially tried to hit on me. At that time, I thought he had taken a fancy to my beauty!”

Lu Xiaowei was speechless.

He Yufeng asked with concern, “Then why didn’t you tell me about it? Did he do anything to you?”

Su Li shook her head. “No, he just said a few words to me before leaving.”

He Yufeng was still worried. “Don’t go out alone in the future. Call me if anything happens.”

Su Li nodded perfunctorily, not taking these words to heart at all.

It was more convenient for her to go out alone. If she couldn’t beat him, she would hide in her space. Bringing He Yufeng along was still a burden to her.

“Ahem…” Lu Xiaowei couldn’t help but cough when he heard their conversation.

He was here to interrogate people, not to watch the couple display affection to each other.

Lu Xiaowei asked, “What did you talk about then?”

Without thinking, Su Li said, “He said that I’m good-looking, so I deserve to die!”

Lu Xiaowei glared at her. “I’m not joking with you. Please be serious.”

Su Li said innocently, “I’m telling the truth. He just said that I deserve to die!”

She wasn’t lying!

“Anything else?” Lu Xiaowei asked.

Su Li said, “He said a bunch of inexplicable things about being buried with him. He’s an ungrateful thing. He only said these few words back and forth. He looks like he’s possessed.”

Lu Xiaowei frowned when he heard her words, as if he was thinking about the authenticity of Su Li’s words.

Su Li asked tentatively, “What’s wrong? Don’t tell me he went to rape some girl? I don’t know him. Everything he did has nothing to do with me.”

Lu Xiaowei glanced at Su Li and said, “Do you know that he’s dead?” Su Li was very surprised when she heard this. “What did you say? He’s dead?” He was clearly a fine person today. Why did he die just like that?

Moreover, although Zhao Peng’s mental state today was a little crazy, he did not seem to be someone who would commit suicide.

Seeing that Su Li was very surprised, Lu Xiaowei said, “He was strangled to death. The people in their village said that he suddenly stopped going to the funeral. He said that he was going to do something big. As for what it was, no one knows.”

“But we checked all his schedules today and found that he seemed to have gone to specially meet someone. And the only person he saw in town today was you.”

Su Li was speechless. Did she step on dog sh*t? How could she encounter such a thing?

“How did you know that the person he was meeting today was me? Can’t it be someone else?”

Lu Xiaowei said, “We naturally have our ways. You don’t have to worry about this.”

This piece of news was provided by the old man who had been splashed by dog blood. At that time, he happened to see Zhao Peng talking to Su Li.

In the afternoon, when they asked around with Zhao Peng’s portrait, the old man told them everything.

Lu Xiaowei asked, “Is there any friction between the two of you? Or did he say anything special to you?”

What did he say to her?

Su Li recalled carefully. Other than talking about their situation, Zhao Peng didn’t say anything else!

No, he had said it. He had said that Xiu’er’s parents had something on the scholar in their hands.

He didn’t tell her what exactly it was, and she didn’t want to ask, so it became an unsolved mystery.

“Do you remember anything?” Lu Xiaowei asked.

Su Li shook her head. “No, other than a bunch of nonsense, he didn’t say anything. Moreover, we don’t know each other. Even if there’s something important, he won’t tell me!”

At that time, Zhao Peng had said that the officials were unreliable, so before she knew the truth, she would not tell them the doubts in her heart.

Lu Xiaowei knew from the beginning that this would be the result. He said, “You’re the most suspicious now, so it’s best if you don’t go anywhere for the time being. Wait for our news at home. We need anything from you at any time.”

If not for the lack of direct evidence, he would have brought Su Li back to the government office. This godforsaken place was too inconvenient.

They happened to be going to Jia Village to investigate tonight, so they came to the He Family Village to ask. Most importantly, they planned to find a house to stay in.

The sky was already so dark. If they rushed back now, not only would they be dirty from the journey back, but by the time they washed up, it would probably be dawn.

Although Su Li was unwilling when she heard this, she still nodded happily.

Anyway, what could they do if she wasn’t at home? They couldn’t tie her legs up, right?

Su Li yawned. “If there’s nothing else, I won’t keep you guys. I’m really a little tired after a busy day.”

Lu Xiaowei stood up and walked out with his men. He Yuan followed.

Cheng Yu looked at Su Li and said, “Madam Su, don’t worry. With our boss around, you’ll definitely be fine.”

Su Li chuckled. “I didn’t do anything. What could have happened to me?”

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yu also smiled. “Yes, I was thinking too much. Have a good rest. I’ll go back too.”

Ling Yiran’s body had not recovered yet and he could not leave anyone, so he had to go back quickly.

After leaving the courtyard, He Yuan thought for a moment and persuaded them to stay. “Officer, it’s not convenient for you to go back at this time. Why don’t you rest at my house for the night?”

Lu Xiaowei had the same intention and nodded rudely. “Alright, sorry to disturb you.”

He Yuan originally thought that he would refuse, but he did not expect them to agree immediately.. The stiff corners of his mouth could not let go no matter what!
