Just as I was about to have my newly changed clothes ripped off, I suddenly remembered the knocking on the door.
"Young Master, lunch is ready."
The housekeeper came to remind them, since Qiao Yunxiao had already gone out and the housekeeper knew they were awake.
Qiao Yunxiao's hand was still on Bai Chi's waist. Hearing the butler's voice made her brow twitch. She was reluctant to take it off, but she was also reluctant not to.
I couldn't bear to let Bai Chi go hungry, since lunchtime had already passed two or three hours ago.
In comparison, Bai Chi was much more relaxed, since the butler's footsteps going upstairs were quite obvious, but someone was too engrossed in the conversation and completely ignored it.
With a gentle push, she moved Qiao Yunxiao's shoulder aside, then removed the hand from his waist, straightened his disheveled shirt, and finally cupped his face and kissed him on the lips.
It made a crisp, satisfying "smack" sound.
"What bad timing, it's time to eat!"
Then, with a twist of his body, he tried to slip out through the gap between Qiao Yunxiao and the wall, but before he could even put his foot down, Qiao Yunxiao grabbed him back.
He pressed her back against the wall and kissed her hard, even biting her on purpose.
Only when the butler knocked on the door again did Bai Chi finally release his lips, which were already slightly swollen and red.
The butler was puzzled. The young master was clearly awake. He had just seen him asleep. Could he have fallen asleep again?
Just as I was about to go downstairs to have the kitchen clear away the food, I heard the door lock click, and then the young master appeared, his face clearly displeased.
The butler was startled. Could it be that the young master had been sleeping again and had been woken up by him?
Just as she was secretly annoyed, she realized that it was all her fault that the young master was able to sleep well, which was a rare occurrence for him.
The butler's eyes widened instantly as he looked at the young man his young master had pulled out. The young man was wearing his young master's clothes, his lips were slightly red and wet, and his face had a gentle smile that was completely opposite to that of his young master.
It's all my fault!
The butler responded somewhat stiffly to the young man's greeting, inwardly cursing the driver. Why hadn't he said earlier that the young master and this young man had this kind of relationship? That way, the driver wouldn't have made a fool of himself by knocking on the door at this time!
Bai Chi quickened his pace and followed Qiao Yunxiao downstairs, bringing up the matter again.
"You know about Xie Youshu's homemade date rape drugs, right? The previous burglaries have totaled over 200,000 yuan, and this time Wang Chun's watch is worth 500,000 yuan."
"In addition, he drugged the homeowner with a drug he extracted himself, which is considered homemade poison. Furthermore, we found more than 50 grams of the drug and dozens of kilograms of raw materials for making the drug in his home."
Qiao Yunxiao nodded: "I already saw it on the news."
He knew why Bai Chi had brought this up specifically.
"I will remind Wang Chun and hire the best lawyer in Qinghe City to keep him in there for as long as possible!"
Bai Chi thought for a moment and reminded him, "And Xie Youshu's parents, they maliciously bought trending searches to frame the police and you. You have the right to hold them accountable."
Xiao Hei overheard this in the space and went back to check the account records to confirm that he had indeed made each transaction.
I raised my hand to light a candle for the two of them. Of all people to mess with, why did you have to frame the master's husband? You deserve it.
These deductions were all made from their accounts and their IP addresses!
And every single transaction, every single penny, has a clear record; they were all used to buy video promotions!
Xiao Hei checked it over herself and made sure there were no flaws. Even the world's most skilled hacker wouldn't be able to find anything suspicious. Only then did she feel at ease listening to her owner continue to deceive her husband.
Qiao Yunxiao indeed had no intention of letting them off the hook, but he also genuinely didn't know that the video that went viral online that morning was actually a trending topic that the two of them had bought with all their savings.
"Are they really that confident?"
Qiao Yunxiao was incredulous, but then he realized what was happening.
"Is it because of my dad? They believe my dad, so they're convinced their son didn't commit a crime? They're not even willing to go to the police station to verify first?"
Bai Chi patted his shoulder, and just as they arrived at the dining table, Bai Chi gently pushed him into a seat.
"Don't overthink it. If he's unjust, you're unjust too. Anyway, no one can cause any trouble now. Your father has already gone to a sanatorium, so he probably won't be able to come out and disturb your lives easily."
Qiao Yunxiao nodded: "Yes, I don't mind."
As he spoke, he pulled Bai Chi to his side.
The sharp-eyed butler immediately moved the tableware from the opposite table to Bai Chi's side, then waved to the cook, and the two left the restaurant together.
During dinner, Bai Chi received a call from Xie Ming. This time, Xie Ming wasn't talking about Xie Youshu, but about the fugitive Bai Chi had captured earlier last night.
This fugitive had committed a crime in another city three years ago, which was more serious than Xie Youshu's; it was a home invasion robbery and murder.
Police found a set of fingerprints belonging to the suspect and, based on fingerprints left from an earlier theft, identified him. However, he remained at large until Bai Chi recognized and apprehended him.
This should have been a great achievement for Bai Chi, but things took an unexpected turn.
"Only two fingerprints match, the other three belong to someone else? Then why wasn't it discovered three years ago?"
We can't just compare two fingerprints and ignore the other three, can we?
Xie Ming clearly knew what Bai Chi was thinking and explained, "This really has nothing to do with the local police. In the earlier theft case, he was wearing gloves and stole a carton of cigarettes from the supermarket."
"He had a hole in his index finger at the time, so only one fingerprint was collected. After that, he was on the run until he committed the second crime."
After Xie Ming finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh, "It's been almost five years in total. I never thought this guy could escape so easily, and I never thought that you, Xiao Chi, would actually catch him."
Bai Chi was also somewhat surprised, but he quickly remembered something else.
"Uncle Xie, you just said that of the five fingerprints taken from the murder case three years ago, only two belonged to him, and the other three belonged to someone else. Could it be that they deliberately pressed them together to mislead the police?"
As Bai Chi spoke, he imagined what they would do, then shook his head.
"That doesn't make sense either. I've seen the case file before; there were quite a few fingerprints. They couldn't possibly have each person pressed three or two fingerprints in every place, deliberately leaving such fingerprints, could they?"
Just imagining such behavior is already very strange.
However, what Xie Ming said next was truly chilling.
"No, Xiao Chi. According to the suspect's confession, the other three fingerprints were left by a severed hand he found at the murder scene."
