Lu Qing's eyes narrowed. To put it bluntly, the main reason Liu Manyun is like this is because of her.
If Liu Manyun had consulted a fortune teller abroad, perhaps she would still be perfectly fine right now.
Thinking of this, Lu Qing felt extremely guilty.
"Gu Xicheng, ask him how much longer Liu Manyun can live? Is there any way to save her?"
Gu Xicheng closed his eyes, then opened them after a moment:
He said...she would live until she was supposed to die.
"What nonsense!" Lu Qing was furious.
"What do you mean 'when she deserves to die'! How could she possibly deserve to die!"
The voice of the gods suddenly entered my ears:
"She has her own destiny, and no one can save her!"
Lu Qing: "Then tell me, what kind of secret is Liu Mosheng trying to figure out? Is it related to me?"
The god remained silent; he clearly knew, but chose not to answer.
Lu Qing gritted her teeth and said, "Gu Xicheng, can you slap him twice?"
Gu Xicheng pursed his lips and said, "You can slap me twice. Although it won't vent your anger, it will let you get it off your chest."
Lu Qing didn't actually do it, of course. She was just angry, as if they were all hiding a huge secret from her, a secret that was related to her.
This was the first time Lu Qing had felt a profound sense of powerlessness.
In the past, she had always been able to resolve any difficulties quickly, but this time, she felt extremely uneasy.
In the afternoon, Jianming found out Yu Linlin's connection with that high-end club.
According to the person in charge there, Yu Linlin had once gone for a waitress interview with another girl.
They're called waiters, but they're really just people who drink with you.
The person in charge there didn't even check her ID; he just took her in because she looked good.
They weren't employees or formally hired; it was like doing freelance work. As long as the job was done, they would get paid.
So when the investigation started, nobody noticed this at all.
"Isn't Yu Linlin in school? Why would she go to a club to apply for a job?" Liu Manyun asked, puzzled.
Jianming sighed softly and said:
"She probably wants to help her mother with her debts!"
"Yu Linlin's father passed away due to illness, and the medical expenses were very high. The debts have not yet been paid off."
“Yu Hong doesn’t earn much money selling fish. After deducting daily expenses, she also has to pay Yu Linlin’s tuition. Life is tough for her!”
Lu Qing frowned slightly, a hint of pity flashing in his eyes.
"Yu Linlin's death is likely related to that club and those five people. Has the person in charge of the club been brought here?"
Jianming nodded: "You brought it? What? You want to interrogate me?"
"Yes! We need his statement," Lu Qing said in a deep voice.
“Can’t you figure it out? Why do we need a statement? Our case is special, we don’t need one!” Jianming said.
Lu Qing looked at him and said seriously:
“We are not handling a case involving possession by evil spirits, but a case involving Yu Linlin as the victim.”
“Even though she is gone, even though she was possessed by evil spirits, we must give her justice.”
Jianming frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then nodded:
"Alright! But you need to hurry, our main task is to eliminate the evil energy."
"Now that the evil spirit has escaped, if it were to possess someone else and cause another murder, our sins would be immense."
Lu Qing pondered for a moment, then said:
"Don't worry, Captain Jian, I should know where the evil energy went!"
"Gu Xicheng, go..."
Lu Qing whispered her plan into Gu Xicheng's ear.
"You go with Captain Jian and take a few men to set up an ambush. That evil spirit shouldn't be able to escape."
Gu Xicheng nodded: "Okay! I'll go now."
Gu Xicheng pulled Jian Ming away, and then Lu Qing went to the interrogation room.
In the interrogation room, Chen Yu, the person in charge of the club, nervously clenched his hands, his forehead covered with fine beads of sweat.
Lu Qing watched him through the window for a while before going inside.
When Chen Yu saw that it was a young girl, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Officer, I've already said that I didn't recruit Yu Linlin myself, and I didn't know she was still a student. I'll pay whatever fine you want, okay?"
Lu Qing glanced at him indifferently, said nothing, and quietly flipped through the documents.
After a long silence, she finally spoke:
"Chen Yu, right? Are you sure your crime can be solved with just a fine?"
Chen Yu scoffed: "What else? If I'm not fined, am I supposed to go to jail?"
"Officer, it's not that serious, is it?"
Lu Qing: "I think you know better than I how many dirty things are behind this entertainment club. If they find out everything, do you think your boss will protect you?"
A hint of nervousness flashed in Chen Yu's eyes, but she quickly suppressed it.
"Officer, don't try to fool me. Just investigate. If you find any evidence, then come and question me."
Lu Qing looked up at him, a slight smile playing on her lips:
"Chen Yu, do you really think you can get away with it just by cleaning up your mess? You have some lives on your hands!"
"Let me calculate it!"
Lu Qing spread out the divination plate and gently shook the tortoise shell, the copper coins clinking together.
Chen Yu looked at Lu Qing's actions with confusion at first, then sneered:
"Officer, you solve cases not by investigation or evidence, but by fortune telling?"
"Just wait and see if my calculations are accurate."
As the copper coins fell, Lu Qing stared at the divination plate and slowly spoke:
“I killed someone in March two years ago. The victim was an old woman who was related to you by blood. I guess it was your mother. You strangled her with a rope and dumped the body in a dry well.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Yu's pupils suddenly contracted.
Lu Qing glanced at his expression, then continued, head bowed:
"The club's former manager died from electrocution in November two years ago. Was that your doing too?"
"Last May..."
"Last August..."
"..."
Lu Qing recounted Chen Yu's crimes one by one, word by word.
Finally, he broke down.
"Enough! Enough!!!"
"Stop talking!" Chen Yu glared at Lu Qing.
"You have no evidence, so what makes you say I killed him!"
Lu Qing smiled and said, "How do you know I don't have any evidence?"
Chen Yu: "Impossible! None of the police investigated me before, where did you get the evidence!"
"Do I need to explain to you where I got my evidence?" Lu Qing smiled, then stood up.
"In short, I'm here to tell you that we have a lot of evidence against you, and the things you've done are enough to warrant the death penalty."
"Of course, I also know that, apart from your mother, everything else was orchestrated by that boss behind the scenes. If you tell him, it can be considered that you've made amends."
"Think about it carefully yourself!"
Lu Qing turned and left.
As soon as he reached the door, Chen Yu hurriedly said, "Wait!"
Lu Qing stopped in her tracks: "Have you thought it through?"
Chen Yu: "If I tell them, can I avoid the death penalty?"
Lu Qing: "Then we'll see how valuable your confession is!"
Chen Yu lowered his head, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "Okay, I'll talk!"
