The man suddenly realized, "Thank you for reminding me. Your companion also counts as my witness."
"You're shameless, aren't you?" Meng Lu had finally seen a more shameless beast.
"His family is in City D. If he wants to survive here, every business has to go through my hands. You're a tourist and can just walk away, but he can't. So as long as I go find him to be a witness, he'll definitely agree."
"Okay, you guys are really great."
"Thanks for the compliment." The man leaned back in his chair with his arms folded.
"Even if you say I killed someone, could you please allow me to notify my family to come over?"
"Can."
Since she came in, the man had never taken her cell phone. From the way she dressed and ate, it was clear that her family had no power at all. Even if she had many partners, what could they solve? These days, power is more important than anything else.
Meng Lu opened his cell phone and wanted to contact Resid, but the other party was He Kun's subordinate, so he shouldn't bother Resid.
When the call was connected, He Kun didn't believe it. She didn't expect Meng Lu to call her on his own initiative.
She briefly described the process of what happened, with a hint of grievance in her tone.
He Kun knew her temper and knew that she must have come to him because she was bullied by the other party. He got angry on the spot and kept comforting her on the phone not to be afraid.
When the man saw her hang up the phone, he immediately started mocking her.
"Okay, now that I've said it, you just wait here for your sentencing!"
"Ah? They can sentence someone without any professional personnel to conduct the trial?"
The man pointed his thumb at himself and said, "Here, I am second to none and above everyone else. Do you understand?"
"I understand, I understand, I understand." Meng Lu wanted to laugh.
The man opened the door of the interrogation room and was about to leave with his wife when he ran into the director himself holding handcuffs and handcuffing them both.
He was furious, "What are you doing? Do you still want a promotion?"
The director punched him in the face and said, "Promotion is no longer important. The survival of my family depends on my performance."
Could it be that someone who could threaten the director's family had contacted the mayor? The man turned around and glanced at Meng Lu.
Meng Qi smiled back at him, "Goodbye! I'll be waiting for the verdict here."
The man quickly ran back and slammed his hand on the table, "Who the hell are you?"
Meng Lu wanted to play with him for a while longer and said that she had called the leader's hotline and it must be the leader who asked someone to handle it.
"Chief's hotline? How could I not know about it?" The man's face was full of confusion. Logically speaking, he should know about such a thing. Could it be that it just happened?
"You're from the capital, so of course you guys in this remote area don't know."
"Does your family have any status?"
Meng Lu shook his head. "I'm just a commoner. How could I have any power?"
The man was no longer afraid, and the trace of panic on his face completely disappeared. He spoke provocatively to Meng Lu. After all, she had no power. Besides, this was City D, and the leader would not come in person. He could just make up a reason to fool her, and he would still be safe.
However, the director knew that it was a call from the leader himself, otherwise he would not have come so quickly.
But the director didn’t know what the ancient human wanted to do, and without her consent, he could only cooperate with her.
"You must come and see me when I'm sentenced!"
"Haha, of course." For the man, this was just a small matter. He would never take it to heart in the past and would just send someone to deal with it. But today it happened outside, and he lost face in front of so many people. He also alarmed the director and was handcuffed. He must deal with such a humiliation seriously, otherwise some people will think he is easy to bully, and there will be a second female like him.
After the man and his wife were taken away, the director came in personally and invited Meng Lu to his office.
Meng Lu didn't hesitate and took the tea handed to him. The office was indeed cool, but the view was not very good.
She still wanted to go to the mayor's place to see how good the view was.
"The...chief said he would be here soon."
Huh? He Kun is coming in person? This was something Meng Lu hadn't expected.
"Didn't you refuse?"
The director was a little reserved. "For someone like me, it's very rare for me to meet the chief once in my lifetime, so I didn't refuse. I didn't dare to refuse at all. Someone outside has already started preparing for the welcoming ceremony."
"Stop, stop immediately. He Kun doesn't like any welcome ceremony."
The director's heart skipped a beat. The other party dared to call the leader's name, so their relationship was real.
"Okay, I'll order them to stop what they're doing immediately."
When the door of the director's office opened again, He Kun walked in. As soon as he came in, he checked to see if Meng Lu was injured.
After making sure she was intact, he personally interrogated the hateful man.
The interrogation took place in the director's office.
When the man was brought in, he found that there was an extra man. He must be someone hired by the female, but so what? He was about to mock him, but when he saw the other person turned around and saw a familiar face, he was instantly scared to his knees.
"Chief... Chief?" The man raised his hands and rubbed his eyes vigorously. "Why are you here? This is just a small matter. This woman killed someone. I took her to the police station for questioning. I followed the normal procedures. She's telling lies. She's trying to deceive you."
The veins on He Kun's forehead bulged, and he was on the verge of losing his temper. He tried hard to control his emotions, wondering how this ignorant man could bully his people.
"Oh? So, she's a liar?"
The man nodded frantically, "Yes, yes, yes, this female has an accomplice, the son of the couple who own the largest hotel in City D. I saw them kill someone together with my own eyes."
"Ah? No, that's not what you said when you interrogated me." Even Meng Lu was shocked. He changed his mind too quickly.
"That's what I said at the time, and my wife can testify to that. We were together at the time and saw it all."
Since he had killed someone, he had to find the body. He Kun asked him where the body was. Unexpectedly, the people he sent found the body at the address the man had given, but the body had already started to stink.
The man explained that it was due to the weather. Even food would go bad quickly, let alone corpses.
He Kun's face showed no expression. "When did you see her kill someone?"
"The day before yesterday."
Meng Qi immediately retorted, "I just landed here yesterday. If you don't believe me, you can check my ticket."
The man immediately changed his story, "I was so scared at the time, I must have remembered it wrongly."
He Kun kicked him against the wall and said, "You piece of crap! This body is so rotten that only the bones are visible. Do you think it can be so rotten in just two days?"
The body was sent over via video, so it couldn't be put directly into the director's office.
The corpse inside had many spots on it, and its legs and abdomen were decayed to varying degrees, especially on the face and head, where you could clearly see insects crawling out.
