Chapter 691 Reunion with Boss He
The lobby was crowded with people, their hands were tied with ropes, their faces were full of panic, and they were trying to shrink back as much as possible.
In the center of the interrogation room was a bench, and a person was tied to it, seemingly about to be executed, but they had interrupted them before they could finish.
The man breathed a sigh of relief, slowly slid off the bench, and turned his head to look towards the doorway.
Then, I saw Shu Yu.
Shu Yu also saw him, and it turned out to be an acquaintance—Boss He?
Old He's eyes widened suddenly. He immediately focused his gaze on her, after all, she was the only woman in the group, and she was too conspicuous.
“It’s her.” Boss He suddenly pointed at her with his bound hands. “Officer, it’s her. She told me I’d gotten into trouble with something evil and told me to go and pay respects to the Min family’s daughter. I really have nothing to do with the Min family’s murder case. You can arrest her and ask her.”
Shu Yu, "..."
The other constables present were speechless. Arresting someone who came with Lord Cheng right in front of him? Has Old Man He lost his mind? How did he become the local tyrant?
Because of his interruption, Lord Cheng's anger immediately subsided.
He turned to Shu Yu and asked, "You know him? What about the Min family murder case?"
Shu Yu's forehead creased with three black lines as she awkwardly and tactfully recounted what had happened.
For a moment, neither Lord Cheng nor Qi Chan knew what to say.
"You do have a quick wit."
He was right; this girl, despite her young age, was both brave and resourceful.
Shu Yu explained earnestly, "Sir, I am telling the truth. I really have studied physiognomy."
"Oh? Is that so? Then let me see it."
Shu Yu: Hehe, you're making things difficult for me.
"My lord, I've only learned a little bit. I can only tell ordinary people their fortune for the next few days. I can't tell people as noble and imposing as you, my lord and sir. You can only ask my master."
Cheng Daren and Qi Chan understood. As expected, it was just a stopgap measure devised under the threat of the local bullies. This girl is truly intelligent.
Shu Yu could tell at a glance that the two of them didn't believe her at all. Oh well, geniuses are lonely and isolated; no one can understand them.
Meanwhile, Lord Cheng thought he might as well lend Shu Yu a hand. He looked at the constable beside him and asked, "Have you gotten anything out of this person?"
"Not yet." The constable, who was standing right next to Shu Yu, had heard everything clearly.
They could also see clearly the adults' attitude towards Shuyu.
Lord Cheng glanced at the constable, said nothing, and turned to the guards behind him, saying, "Chengxian, this is your responsibility. Question them carefully. Keep those who are indeed suspicious, and release all those who are not."
After speaking, he warned the constables present, "And you, do your jobs properly. If you keep arresting people indiscriminately, causing chaos in the county and making trouble for me, all of you can go home."
"Yes, yes, sir."
After giving a reprimand, Lord Cheng handed the matter over to Cheng Xian, instructing him to find out who came up with the idea of arbitrarily arresting people. After detaining the person, he turned to Yao Bo and asked, "Look, is your father here?"
Yao Bo nodded repeatedly, pointing to the people behind the crowd and saying, "Yes, they're right there."
While Lord Cheng and Shu Yu were talking, he had already started looking for people.
