Chapter 94

Chen He's heart was pounding and he forced himself to think calmly.

Since this mysterious man in black knew the inside story of the explosion, why didn't he call the police directly, but asked her, a complete stranger, to pass the message on?

What if the letter is a lie? Should I believe him?

It needs to be confirmed.

She thought for a moment and called Boss Niu.

"Hello Uncle Niu, I am Chen He who visited you yesterday."

"Oh, oh." Boss Niu responded.

"I have something I want to ask you. When Qiu Song was working for you, did someone named Xing Yao ever approach him... or cause him any trouble?"

"Ah, that..." Boss Niu seemed to be hesitating.

Chen He sensed something was wrong and asked, "Boss Niu, what's wrong with you?"

Boss Niu stammered, "Ni, over here, someone wants to talk to you."

Chen He was extremely surprised: "Who is it?"

"It's... a policeman."

"Police?" Chen He was wary. "I'm an outsider. Why would you Lanzhou police want to see me?"

"It seems... not local..."

A cold voice came into the receiver: "It's me."

It was actually Chang Ting's voice.

Chen He: “…”

She instinctively hung up the phone.

Too careless.

Should have thought of it earlier.

After Chang Ting gets Qiu Yue's sketch, he will know that the small peach kernel belongs to Qiu Song. And it is worn on the hand of male god 001.

Of course, he would find it strange and go to the place where Qiu Song had the accident to verify it.

"How could it be such a coincidence..." Chen He pressed his forehead in annoyance.

She never expected that this new experience in life, of being caught by the police, would unfold in this way.

After a while, she felt that hanging up the phone was too stupid and dialed again awkwardly.

"Uncle Niu, I'm sorry, the signal wasn't very good just now. Did you say the police wanted to see me? Oh, Officer Chang, right? I know him. Could you please put him on the line?"

Then, Chang Ting's voice came: "The comic platform is organizing a tour. So it's a tour to Lanzhou."

"Hahaha." Chen He laughed dryly, "What a coincidence, why are you here? Are you on a business trip?"

"Okay, stop acting. Where are you?"

"I..." Chen He hesitated.

"Don't force me to go to the police station to check your accommodation registration."

Chen He had no choice but to give the hotel address.

Chang Ting said nothing more. Boss Niu's voice came through the receiver again.

Boss Niu said earnestly, "Ni, I've known for a long time that you're no ordinary person. Did you commit a crime? Remember, confess and you'll be treated leniently, while resist and you'll be treated severely. You're still young, so cooperate and try to get a reduced sentence..."

Chen He was speechless.

Half an hour later, Chen He went downstairs to the lobby on the first floor. Chang Ting and Zhang You were already sitting in the lobby lounge waiting for her.

After half an hour of adjustment, Chen He had overcome her guilty conscience and calmly sat down on the sofa opposite her. She smiled and said, "Nice to meet you."

Zhang You stood up and said, "Hello, Mr. Chen. I've been following your comics. Could you please sign one for me?"

Chang Ting pulled him back down.

Chang Ting looked at Chen He with difficulty: "He is calm enough. He is a good candidate for committing a crime."

"I haven't broken any law, why should I feel guilty?" Chen He said frankly.

"Alright, alright. He actually made it to the Qingde Auto Repair Shop before us. That's impressive."

"You are too slow." Attack is the best defense.

"Chen He..." Chang Ting's chest felt heavy. "I told you this matter is dangerous, and you promised not to interfere, right? What are you doing here again?"

Chen He smiled: "Think about it again. Did I agree?"

Chang Ting: “…”

He felt that all the traps he had dug for the suspect during the previous interrogation had come back to haunt him.

Zhang You silently handed over the medicine bottle. Chang Ting brushed it back and said, "I heard you mention Xing Yao when you called Niu Zhuangzhuang. Why are you asking about this person?"

Chen He immediately noticed something strange in his tone.

A sharp glint flashed in her eyes, and she asked a series of questions: "Have you also found this person? How did you find him? Where is he now, and what does he do?"

Chang Ting: "I just have a clue. If you know any clues..."

Chen He's expression turned arrogant, his fingers crossed, and his gaze turned to the ceiling: "Who told me to stop interfering?"

Chang Ting's face flushed red, and he let out a breath: "I didn't ask about your profession. Just go home and stay honestly and draw your little man. I beg you."

Chen He's move failed, and he sighed: "I know Officer Chang means well. Okay, I'll leave."

He stood up helplessly, then used his ultimate move and thrust out, "Alas, I finally found the key information about Qiu Song's murder, but it was all in vain."

"Wait." Chang Ting couldn't hold back any longer and stood up.

Chen He started walking away: "I'm going to pack my bags and go home."

Chang Ting hurriedly stepped in front and asked, "You said Qiu Song was murdered. What's your basis?"

Chen He showed a sly, mischievous smile: "Exchange. Tell me what you found out first."

Chang Ting's eyes were almost darkening, and he couldn't believe his ears: "You, you, you want to negotiate with me? It's me, Chang Ting, a policeman." He wanted to take out his police officer ID.

Chen He obviously didn't care about the identity of the trading partner.

Seeing Chang Ting panic, Zhang You mustered up the courage to stand up and help: "Teacher Chen, cooperating with the police is the responsibility of every citizen..."

Chen He glanced over and Zhang You sat back, his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart.

"Forget about the change." Chen He was about to leave again.

"Wait, wait, wait! I'm really impressed..." Chang Tingxian covered his chest and took a breath, then said, "How about this, let's have a formal meeting and exchange information."

"Happy alliance." Chen He smiled victoriously.

"What alliance? Cool down your enthusiasm! After the meeting, go home!" Chang Ting turned to Zhang You and said, "It's not convenient to talk here. Go to the front desk and get a standard room."

Zhang You whispered, "Brother Chang, this hotel is over the limit..."

"I'll make up for it if you exceed me!"

"Great! I've never had such a good stay while on a business trip!" Zhang You happily ran to the front desk.

Chang Ting frowned in pain and asked Chen He, "Why do you want to stay in such a high-end hotel?"

"My royalties are quite high," Chen He replied.

"..." Chang Ting shut his mouth, regretting that he had asked for trouble.

He reached out and grabbed a handful of free mints on the table and put them in his pocket. "At least I can get some money back..."

"I say..." He peeled a candy and stuffed it into his mouth, "Book the ticket first and go back to Qi'an after the meeting."

After thinking for a moment, he said, "No, you can't go alone. I'll ask Zhang You to book a ticket and take you back."

Chen He smiled slightly: "I may not reply."

"What do you mean by not sure? I must go back immediately!" Chang Ting bit the mint candy hard, making a crunching sound.

Zhang You booked a standard room, and an hour later, the information was exchanged and the meeting ended.

Chen He returned to her room and never went out again.

Chang Ting requested assistance from the Lanzhou Public Security Bureau and arranged for personnel to secretly guard the floor where Chen He was staying. Plainclothes police officers were also deployed downstairs to guard the hotel like an iron barrel.

Three days later, the comic "Prophecy of the Other Shore" updated a new chapter:

"collapse".
