Chapter 694 The Token Has Been Recovered

Now, we've found a breakthrough.

Both Cheng Daren and Qi Chan felt that Shu Yu deserved some credit for this.

After all, if they hadn't been waiting for her, they wouldn't have returned so late, and the magistrate wouldn't have lost his composure in the dim light from being frightened by a dead tiger.

If she and others hadn't gone into the mountains to hunt tigers, the magistrate of Heichang County might have continued to wreak havoc for some time.

The case from two years ago was reopened, and the murderer was found. For Cheng Daren, this was another great achievement.

However, since these are official cases, there's no need to tell Shu Yu about them.

Qi Chan took out the jade pendant again and handed it back to Shu Yu. "Take this. If you need anything next time, just come to me. Thank you for bringing Brother Yao to see me today. I will remember this as a favor in the future."

Shu Yu glanced at the jade pendant and promptly took it. She knew it; favors couldn't be used up.

"Mr. Qi, you're too kind. Uncle Yao is a friend of my father, and I happened to have the opportunity to meet you, so I acted as a go-between. Actually, I was a little worried that I might disturb you and Mr. Qi, but now that everything seems to be going well, I'm relieved."

"Second daughter of the Lu family, Uncle Yao thanks you so much today." Yao Tianqin was very excited and thanked Shu Yu again and again.

He thanked her not only for letting him meet Mr. Qi, but also for getting him out of the clutches of the constables.

Shu Yu waved her hand, "Uncle Yao and Mr. Yao are reunited with old friends, and I imagine they have a lot to talk about. My father and I won't disturb you any longer, so we'll be leaving now."

Cheng Daren laughed and said, "Alright, you guys go ahead and do your work. It's a waste to spend two days off here.

Qi Chan nodded in agreement; he did indeed have many things to discuss with Yao Tianqin.

Shu Yu took his leave and left the county government office with Lu Erbai.

Besides them, there's also Yao Bo.

He had nothing to do at the county office, so he left along with them.

However, as soon as he stepped out of the county government office, he said to Lu Erbai, "Uncle Lu, my mother at home is still waiting for news. I'll go ahead and inform them so they won't worry."

Lu Erbai quickly nodded, "Okay, then go ahead."

Yao Bo ran towards home. After he left, Lu Erbai and Shu Yu slowly walked towards the Lu family's stall.

However, after walking a few steps, Shu Yu saw a group of people coming out of the side gate of the county government office.

She has a sharp eye and recognized it quickly.

"These people seem to be the same ones who were detained in the interrogation hall with Uncle Yao just now. It seems they were interrogated by that guard Cheng Xian and released after finding nothing suspicious."

Shu Yu said a couple of things, but no one answered. He turned his head and saw his father looking dazed.

Shu Yu: "Father, Father, what's wrong?"

Lu Erbai still felt a little unreal; he had actually met the governor.

He had never seen such a high-ranking official in his life, and he was standing right behind him, following him everywhere he went, at such close range.

"father."

Lu Erbai suddenly snapped back to reality. "Huh? Oh, you mean the interrogation room?"

He followed Shu Yu's gaze and said, "With the governor's trusted subordinates personally interrogating them, they certainly won't act recklessly like those constables. These people are innocent, so of course they should be released."

That wasn't what Shu Yu wanted to say. She said meaningfully, "I didn't see Boss He."
