A chill ran down Cheng Xiao Kui's spine and straight to her heart.
Her zombie costume is purely for scaring people; if it doesn't scare them, she's done for...
The man's voice loomed above her head, "You're quite the player! I was worried about you, but you've managed to kill someone else!"
Cheng Xiao Kui looked up in surprise and threw herself into the man's arms, wrapping her arms around his neck.
It felt like seeing a long-lost relative!
"Haha! Si Muyang, you're back! How scary! You're finally back..."
She was saying something happy, but when she got to the last half of the sentence, her voice suddenly choked up.
An indescribable sense of grievance welled up from her heart.
All her strength crumbled the moment she saw Si Muyang.
No one pretends to be strong; it's just that they have no one to rely on...
When Si Muyang heard that Cheng Xiaokui's voice sounded off, he quickly pulled the woman into his arms and gently patted her back with his large hand.
"Xiao Kui! What's wrong? Don't cry, I'm back. I knew you were in danger, so I rushed back. Luckily, I got back in time..."
However, he stopped halfway through his sentence. He had returned in time, which was why he had knocked the person unconscious. If he hadn't returned in time, wouldn't the person have been scared to death by Cheng Xiao Kui?
Something seems off.
Cheng Xiaokui nestled in the man's arms and said, "Those two wanted to kill me. They were sent by Chief Zhang!"
By the way, how did you know I was in danger? Who told you?
Si Muyang said, "The mouse told me."
Cheng Xiao Kui looked up at Si Muyang, "Mouse?"
Si Muyang said, "I threw the cornbread I took from here into the trash can to feed the rats, and as a result, all those rats died."
So I know you're definitely in danger. They probably have more than just poisoning as a plan. If the poisoning fails, they likely have other plans!
Cheng Xiao Kui nodded and said, "Yes! I overheard them saying that if I didn't die from the drug, they would kill me. Anyway, they wouldn't let me see the sun!"
Si Muyang said, "Chief Zhang's good days are over! Originally, his son would get a fake certificate and use the excuse of being sent back to the capital for medical treatment to run away back to the capital. He was waiting for another quota to be available so that he could officially go back to the capital."
It doesn't actually interfere with his son's life in the capital, but he insists on killing you!
Now not only is his son in big trouble, but he's in big trouble too! The consequences of this are something he can't bear with his achievements alone!
Cheng Xiaokui said, "They drugged me, aren't they afraid that I'll die tomorrow and the forensic doctor will find out the cause of my death?"
Si Muyang gently patted Cheng Xiaokui's shoulder. At this moment, he really didn't want to push the woman away. The woman nestled softly in his arms, and it felt so comfortable. But he did have important things to do right now.
He said, "I'll tie them both up and interrogate them properly later!"
Cheng Xiao Kui straightened up. Luckily, the darkness concealed her bright red face; otherwise, it would have been even more embarrassing if Si Muyang had seen her blushing face.
Si Muyang searched the room but couldn't find any rope. So he took out the belts from the two men's pants and used them to tie their arms.
Cheng Xiao Kui thought that it was fortunate that clothes were loose in this era and everyone had a belt, otherwise there would really be nowhere to find a rope at this time.
Si Muyang tied the two men up, gagged them with rags, and dragged them both into the cell.
After being tossed around by Si Muyang, the two unconscious people gradually regained consciousness.
They slowly opened their eyes and immediately saw Cheng Xiao Kui with her hair disheveled.
The two of them instinctively shuddered, and a second later they realized what was going on.
The two of them were tied up, and they also realized that the one who had been pretending to be a zombie was Cheng Xiao Kui!
The two men were so angry they wanted to curse, but their mouths were gagged, and they couldn't say anything.
Si Muyang stood in front of the two people and said, "You didn't expect this, did you? Cheng Xiaokui hasn't slept at all. She heard everything you said in the corridor."
Moreover, she knew about your plan, and she didn't eat the food you gave her at all!
As you know, our country's policy is: leniency for those who confess, severity for those who resist!
"Which of you will confess, and who will face the harsher punishment? The one who confesses will definitely be treated leniently, while the one who doesn't will certainly be questioned by their superiors tomorrow!"
Xiao Zhang and Xiao Li looked at each other, unsure of what to do.
Si Muyang sneered and said, "Since you refuse to confess, murder is a capital offense. You can wait to be executed and then have your parents come and collect your bodies!"
I will report this to my superiors tomorrow and have them handle it seriously! The Investigation Bureau has become a lawless zone, able to poison people so easily!
"I still have the food you drugged! I'll send it to the hospital for testing tomorrow!"
Xiao Li couldn't hold on any longer. He was the most timid person, and when he heard that he was going to be sentenced to death, he hurriedly started whimpering.
If he doesn't confess, it will be considered that he murdered Cheng Xiao Kui.
Si Muyang asked, "Do you want to confess?"
Xiao Li immediately nodded, indicating that he wanted to confess.
Xiao Zhang hurriedly kicked Xiao Li, warning him not to say anything.
Si Muyang said, "Xiao Li, now is the best time for you to confess honestly and try to get leniency. Look at Xiao Zhang, he didn't talk, so the spot for leniency is yours!"
"I'm taking the rag out of your mouth now, you'd better confess."
Xiao Li immediately nodded in agreement.
Si Muyang took the rag out of Xiao Li's mouth.
Xiao Li said, "They wanted to murder Cheng Xiao Kui. I have no past grudges or recent hatred with Cheng Xiao Kui. I didn't even know her before. Why would I kill her?"
Commander Zhang ordered us to kill her—no, Commander Zhang ordered Little Zhang to kill her!
Xiao Zhang and I are in the same group, and we're on duty tonight, so Xiao Zhang told me about what happened.
I just came with him. He was the one who fed Cheng Xiao Kui, and he was the one who put the medicine in her food. I didn't do anything!
When Xiao Zhang heard that Xiao Li had confessed everything, he stomped his feet in anger.
Xiao Li's crime is the least serious. If we try to get him leniently, he might be out of trouble, but his life will be ruined!
Si Muyang asked, "What kind of drug did you give Cheng Xiaokui? Aren't you afraid that if Cheng Xiaokui dies tomorrow, the forensic doctor will find out that you poisoned her?"
Xiao Li said, "No, this kind of drug can't be detected! It's a drug that induces heart disease. When a person dies, they will show signs of a heart attack. Even a forensic examination can only show that they died of a heart attack!"
Cheng Xiaokui said, "Commander Zhang is really ruthless! He used this method to kill me!"
Suddenly, footsteps came from the end of the corridor.
It was obvious that the other people on duty had mustered up their courage and were coming this way.
Si Muyang quickly used a rag to gag Xiao Li.
But as long as these people come, they will still be discovered...
What should we do?
