As soon as Gu Yao finished speaking, Wang Lin's wild laughter suddenly stopped.

He stared blankly at Gu Yao, his mouth moving as he asked, "What...what do you mean by that?"

"Ha!" Gu Yao sneered, pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, and said, "In this world, only the dead can keep secrets."

If I were them, how could I possibly let such a good opportunity slip by? After all, living people's mouths move. Only the dead have their mouths tightly shut.

At that moment, Wang Lin's expression suddenly changed.

His once rosy complexion, which had been laughing arrogantly, was turning white and then bluish at a visible speed.

His pupils were wide open, and his mouth was agape, as if he had something to say but couldn't utter a sound.

On the contrary, Zhou Chunhua's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, instantly settled down after hearing Gu Yao's words.

Yes! Gu Yao is right!

Wang Lin said that those people were all rich and powerful.

How could they possibly be controlled by Wang Lin?

"I advise you to confess everything while you can still speak. Perhaps the relevant departments will spare your life because you're still somewhat useful."

If you refuse to speak, you might never be able to. Wang Lin, what do you think?

"Gu... Gu Yao! You... it's impossible! You... I... I won't be scared by you!"

It's clear that Wang Lin's stance has wavered.

"Trying to scare you? You're welcome to try. If you come out alive, then I guess I was just trying to scare you. But what if you die in there for no apparent reason?"

As soon as Gu Yao finished speaking, Wang Lin suddenly turned to Uncle Hat and pleaded, "I'll confess! I'll confess everything! Please, please keep an eye on me and don't let them get a chance to kill me."

Upon seeing this, Qin Donglai immediately ran towards Wang Lin.

Wang Lin seemed like a completely different person, eager to confess to Qin Donglai.

Qin Donglai immediately ordered Wang Lin to be brought inside.

As soon as Wang Lin went up, Qin Donglai turned around to thank Gu Yao. Before Gu Yao could say anything, he followed Wang Lin inside.

...

She and Gu Yao were taking their statements together.

Compared to before, their attitude towards them has improved significantly.

For example, as soon as they sat down, hot tea was placed in front of them.

Even Nini has snacks now.

Finally, after taking the statement, Gu Yao also gave them a copy of the video.

They didn't leave until it was broad daylight.

However, instead of returning to their previous hotel, they randomly chose a decent-looking guesthouse on the roadside and settled in.

She and Gu Yao had the same idea: they both wanted to rest today and visit Chen Xue's younger brother, Chen Deming, again tomorrow.

What if... what if Wang Lin was lying to them?

I hope Uncle Chen is doing well.

After checking in, Nini shared a room with her, while Gu Yao stayed in the next room.

She had just locked the door and was about to give Nini a bath when there was a knock at the door.

"Who!" Zhou Chunhua was so nervous that she clenched all ten of her toes.

"It's me. Are you asleep?"

Hearing that it was Gu Yao's voice, she breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed.

Just as she opened the door to let Gu Yao in, she heard Gu Yao say, "I probably won't be able to sleep for a while. This matter has been circulating online overnight, and a special task force has been set up by the authorities."

I just got a call telling us to bring Nini and Chen Xue's diaries, along with those money orders, over there.

"A special task force? That's great! People like Wang Lin should be eradicated completely!" Zhou Chunhua's eyes lit up. "Um... Jiang Tiancheng! Could we take this opportunity to find Jiang Tiancheng?"

Once Jiang Tiancheng is found, Su Mu will be unable to escape.

Gu Yao didn't ask her why, and immediately agreed.

"I'll call Qin Donglai in a bit and ask."

"Okay. Wait a moment, I'll go in and get my bag."

So I cancelled the room I had just booked.

Since their car had been nearly destroyed in a previous accident, they had no choice but to borrow Qin Donglai's car.

The main thing is, regarding Chen Deming's situation... it's a good opportunity to have Qin Donglai's men go and check on it together.

After hearing their explanation, Qin Donglai agreed to immediately arrange for someone to accompany them.

Soon, they were back in the police car again.

The difference is that this time someone is driving, so they can take a nap while on the road.

Perhaps because she was worried about Chen Deming, Zhou Chunhua couldn't fall asleep even with her eyes closed.

A few hours later, they returned to the village where Chen Deming lived.

Just like the last time I visited, the village was exceptionally peaceful.

Having been there before, they quickly arrived at Chen Deming's house.

There was no one in the yard, and the door was locked from the outside.

It looked as if Chen Deming had gone out on business and wasn't home.

The courtyard showed no obvious signs of a struggle, just as it had when they left.

Zhou Chunhua breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The "hat uncles" arranged by Qin Donglai began visiting the neighborhood to inquire about Chen Deming's whereabouts.

After asking around, no one knew where Chen Deming had gone.

They also said that Chen Deming was a lonely old man with a withdrawn personality who rarely interacted with his neighbors.

So no one noticed when he left.

Finally, I overheard a child saying that a few people had visited Chen Deming's house a few days ago.

At that moment, everyone was on edge.

Uncle Hat simply pried open the door.

Because they weren't allowed to go inside, Zhou Chunhua couldn't see anything unusual inside the house.
