At the entrance of the estate.
The captain was smoking a cigarette. The young policeman beside him was like a leopard, his sharp eyes stared straight ahead.
“Captain, he’s back.” A figure appeared ahead. The young policeman grew especially excited.
The captain took a look and quickly put out the cigarette in his hand.
…
Not long after, Qin Chuan appeared at the entrance of the estate.
The captain and young officer slowly walked forward and stopped him.
“Mr. Qin, do you have time?” The captain asked.
Qin Chuan glanced at them.
Aren’t they the police officers who came to question Xuan Xuan two days ago?
He thought, they’re back again but for me this time. Do they need to clarify something?
After the police left that day, he had a question.
Why did the police approach Zhao Xuanxuan?
From the questioning that day, he more or less figured out what was going on.
The murder case that Zhao Xuanxuan was involved in was most likely his own doing.
But, that person deserved to die. It was his fault for bullying Xuanxuan.
Plus, that was just one person. Compared to the billions of lives on the planet, his death means nothing.
For some reason, Qin Chuan didn’t feel any guilt about killing someone.
He did not know why he had that mentality.
In any case, in his eyes, life had become insignificant. So it seemed only natural to treat them with little regard.
And now, the police had come looking for him. From their expressions, they seemed to suspect him.
So what?
“Officer, what do you want to ask?” Qin Chuan was calm.
The captain said in a low voice, “It’s not convenient here. Let’s talk somewhere else. It won’t take more than a few minutes.”
“Mm!”
They came to a pavilion in the estate.
The young officer turned on the recorder, and the captain started asking questions.
“Mr. Qin, I suspect you have something to do with Fang Yuke’s fall,” the captain said sternly.
He was direct because he wanted to see how Qin Chuan would react.
If he were really involved, he would probably appear very nervous. They would be able to sense something from his micro-expressions.
However, after Qin Chuan heard this, he appeared very surprised.
He thought that he would be questioned about the incident at the riverside; he never expected the captain to ask about Fang Yuke’s fall.
To be honest, Fang Yuke falling off the building had everything to do with him.
He deserved it. Who told him to come kill me?
I had to send him away.
Qin Chuan didn’t feel that he had done anything wrong.
However, this was a society ruled by law. Murder was a serious crime.
Qin Chuan naturally wouldn’t admit it.
“Officer, how is Fang Yuke’s fall related to me?
“Are you guys mistaken? “Qin Chuan smiled bitterly.
His expression and tone were exactly what an innocent person would present.
The captain frowned. It was completely different from what he had expected.
Did we really make a mistake?
The commander’s heart wavered.
It was the same for the young policeman beside him.
The captain asked, “Then let me ask you, what is your relationship with Ma Qingxue?”
Qin Chuan replied directly, “We’re dating.”
“When did you two get together?” The captain continued to probe.
“Officer, this is my private relationship. I don’t think I’m obliged to tell you, am I!”
He sounded unhappy.
The captain looked embarrassed. His question was out of line.
They had done many investigations over the past two days. Before Fang Yuke fell from the building, Qin Chuan and Ma Qingxue didn’t seem to interact very much.
The first time they met was at the police station in the south of the city. The captain was present at that time too.
He had seen the surveillance footage from that day. From their conversation and actions, they were probably not familiar with each other.
However, through other means of investigation, they discovered that Qin Chuan and Ma Qingxue had gone drinking at a bar after they left the police station.
Most importantly, after that, Qin Chuan had brought Ma Qingxue home for the night.
No one would believe that nothing intimate came from a man and woman sharing a room together.
The captain and the young officer did not believe it either.
After all, Ma Qingxue was so beautiful, and she had even taken the initiative to approach him. Of course, any healthy man won’t be able to resist such temptation!
As for why Ma Qingxue would get together with Qin Chuan, the captain understood that problems had surfaced in Ma Qingxue and Fang Yuke’s relationship then. Moreover, she found out that Fang Yuke already had a family.
Due to the setback in her relationship, she wanted to vent.
After all, society was very open-minded now. It was normal for one-night stands to happen.
The captain made a bold guess.
The reason Qin Chuan and Ma Qingxue got together was definitely because of that one-night stand.
Furthermore, before Fang Yuke fell off the building, Qin Chuan had brought Ma Qingxue home to stay the night again.
The next day, Fang Yuke fell off the building.
Hence, the captain was even more convinced that there was a relationship between Qin Chuan and Fang Yuke.
He guessed that after Fang Yuke found out about the matter between Ma Qingxue and Qin Chuan, he bore a grudge and secretly did something to Qin Chuan.
As for Qin Chuan, he wasn’t someone to be trifled with. Both sides were secretly competing against each other.
In the end, Qin Chuan used some special method to make Fang Yuke fall off the building.
However, this was just the captain’s guess. There was no concrete evidence.
Just like that, the captain asked a few more questions. Again, Qin Chuan’s answer was very reasonable, and it matched the answers of a passerby.
Unable to get anything out of him, the captain had to give up.
After Qin Chuan left, the captain and the young officer sat in the car and rewatched the video recording repeatedly, trying to find any loopholes.
However, after watching it more than ten times, they still did not see anything interesting.
“Were we really wrong?” The young policeman found it difficult to accept.
The captain puffed out a mouthful of smoke and said slowly, “It’s still hard to tell now, but there will always be a time when the truth will be revealed. We’ll just wait.”
“Is this the only way to find out?” The young policeman was indignant.
“What else do you want to do? Handcuff him and take him back?”
“I…”
The captain smiled. “Let’s put this matter aside for now. We’ll go home and have a good sleep. Who knows, we might have good news tomorrow!”
Before leaving, the captain put out his cigarette and looked meaningfully at the building where Qin Chuan’s apartment was.
…
Qin Chuan returned to his apartment and took a shower.
Standing under the showerhead, Qin Chuan thought back to what the police had asked. He murmured, “These police officers are really good. They even suspected me.
“But they have no evidence, and they can’t convict me.”
“But how did they link things to me?”
“I used divination to make Fang Yuke commit suicide.
“Still, there shouldn’t be any traces linked to me?
“So where’s the problem?”
Qin Chuan didn’t understand and couldn’t be bothered to think about it.
After taking a shower, he tidied up the room, packed a few pieces of Zhao Xuanxuan’s clothes, and summoned the system to return back to the sect.
…
In the sect, Ma Qingxue was meditating in the training hall, concentrating on her breathing exercises.
The spiritual energy surrounding her body was like a deep blue ocean, continuously surging into her body.
Qin Chuan predicted that within a week, Ma Qingxue would be able to break through to the second class of Qi Mastery.
She had a soul, so it was normal for her to have such a speed.
On the other hand, Zhao Xuanxuan was tirelessly hammering away in the weapon forging room.
She had previously said that she wanted to learn all the ‘specializations.’
Qin Chuan didn’t stop her. He respected her choice.
She would first start with forging.
