Once, I wanted to be a good person

Chapter 207 28. Shocking! The case was cracked in just one day (10,000-word plea for monthly passes!)_3

However... his spirit seemed even more wilted, more haggard.

He had that look of having overexerted himself, a lack of energy, and a lack of sleep.

Xun Yi watched him, feeling resentful yet having no choice but to pretend she did not see it.

She said, "Many people saw just now, Fang Ze came out of the detention room."

"It's said that someone clearly heard him claim that he had solved the case. He interrogated and uncovered the mastermind behind it."

Hearing Xun Yi's words, Gu Qing yawned and then said, "The mastermind, huh..."

"One of the three great nobles of Xida State, the Jiang Family?"

"Municipal Councilor Jiang Cheng of Emerald City?"

"And......"

At this, he paused, then nonchalantly said, "Let me guess....."

"The Supervisory Department's Qianfeng?"

Hearing Gu Qing's words, Xun Yi said expressionlessly, "I don't know. I didn't get specific intelligence."

Gu Qing confidently stated, "It should be them."

"Although the council member from the state who caused trouble yesterday seemed unrelated on the surface, he has been closely connected with the Jiang Family in private, and in other states, they even do some business together."

Xun Yi looked at him and adjusted her glasses, "Then.... what about us?"

Gu Qing said, "Let's just wait and see."

"Guessing who it is doesn't really matter much. It only helps us see the situation more clearly."

"The key is still the evidence, and the attitude of the state towards this matter."

"After all, this matter involves the nobility..."

As he said this, he couldn't help but stand up, then strolled to the window and looked at the scenery downstairs.

Downstairs, Officer Bai Zhi and Bai Ling, accompanied by seven or eight Reserve Commissioners, were walking out of the training center.

Seeing this, Gu Qing withdrew his gaze and then said, "So.... the matter is actually just beginning."

As he spoke, as if something occurred to him, he turned around, looked at Xun Yi, and said, "You think... the Jiang Family doing so much in Emerald City. Is it really just for money?"

"I remember they once had a genius who reached the peak of Fusion in his teens, just one step away from Spirit Ascension."

"But, over the years, he failed to ascend dozens of times and fell from grace."

He calculated mentally, "It seems to have been over ten years now, hasn't it?"

On hearing this, a flicker of something different passed through Xun Yi's eyes, and after a moment, she said, "I'll go check it out....."

Gu Qing nodded.

After a while, watching Xun Yi's leaving figure, Gu Qing stretched lazily and chuckled, "Having a few more opponents is really interesting."

"This is what life should be! It needs to have passion~!"

Meanwhile, in Emerald City, Governing Hall. Find exclusive stories on My Virtual Library Empire

In that luxurious room, the young man who last attended the Security Bureau meeting, Supervisory Department Director Qianfeng, was reporting to the noble man, Municipal Councilor Jiang Cheng.

"A message came from the Security Bureau. Fang Ze, after locking himself up for 24 hours, finally came out and said he had cracked the case."

The noble man although expressionless, was slowly rubbing his hands under the table, obviously a bit anxious.

After a moment, as if he had finally cleared his thoughts, he asserted, "Impossible."

"Qiu Yue might be somewhat lacking in skills, but she isn't a fool."

"She knows we would definitely rescue her and that we indeed have the power to do it."

"So, unless she's dead, she wouldn't expose us."

"After all, she knows that if we have the power to rescue her, we also have the power to make her disappear without a trace."

"She has no reason not to last even a day."

Hearing the noble man Jiang Cheng's words, Qianfeng fell silent for a while, then agreed, "I also think that she wouldn't fail to last even a day."

"Unless...."

He paused, "Officer Bai Zhi used some special means."

Jiang Cheng shook his head, saying, "She wouldn't."

"Not only would she not, even if Fang Ze wanted to, she would stop him."

"You might see her as crazy, but that's just a release from suppression, it rather exposes the pressure she is under in her family."

"With family constraints within the system, she wouldn't dare any inappropriate acts."

Hearing Jiang Cheng say this, Qianfeng couldn't help but inquire, "Then... could it be that Fang Ze deliberately released false news?"

Jiang Cheng was silent for a while, then nodded, "Possibly."

"Just like they wanted to trick out Hua Jian."

"Deliberately releasing information, even personally pressing Hua Jian."

"But..... without evidence, there is no evidence."

"They can't touch Hua Jian."

"Of course, they can't touch us either."

As he said this, he looked towards Qianfeng and asked, "Those threads you were told to cut and the evidence you were told to destroy, have all been cut and destroyed?"

Qianfeng nodded, "All done as required."

Jiang Cheng nodded satisfied and said, "Then there's no problem."

"With no evidence, even if Qiu Yue confesses, it won't matter."

Qianfeng had felt an ominous premonition since he learned of this news.

But hearing Jiang Cheng state this, and thinking about the fact that there truly were no slip-ups, he eventually also nodded.....

'Right. Without evidence, even if there are confessions, they can do nothing against me.....'

....

Meanwhile.

In a very ordinary apartment in Emerald City, Nan Yi's excited voice echoed in the room, "Officer Bai Zhi! I found evidence of Qiu Yue colluding with Qianfeng and their communications!"

Having said that, she excitedly ran out from the inner room, holding a file bag.

The other few people searching, including Bai Zhi, all gathered around.

Nan Yi opened the file bag and poured the evidence onto the table.

There wasn't much inside. Just a videotape and a cassette tape. It seemed a bit meager.

Just then, Bai Zhi gestured, and immediately, Bai Ling brought over a playback device.
