Tong Di saw that these people all had weapons on their waists. He was just a child after all, so he immediately ran into the house.
Fu Baiheng turned around and ordered his men to wait outside the door. Only he, Qin Zheng, an attendant, and Fu Yueli went in. There was another patient in the clinic. He had seen the excitement when the Second Prince came to the city that day, and when he saw this situation, he immediately smiled and left.
Xu Ziling just sat there, not getting up, and said expressionlessly, "What's wrong with you?"
Fu Baiheng sat down on the chair opposite her and said with a faint smile, "Yes, we are here from the Taizhou government. Doctor Xu must have heard about the disappearances in the city a few days ago. I happen to have some doubts that need your help."
"I've heard about the missing persons case, but what does it have to do with me?"
"Whether it's related or not, I'll know after I ask Doctor Xu."
Xu Ziling said calmly, "Okay, then ask."
Shi Mingyue and others were watching from the side and couldn't help but feel very puzzled. Xu Ziling was just a doctor, how could he be involved in a missing persons case?
Fu Baiheng's attendant then took out a pen and paper, ready to take notes. He was Yuan Daixu, the eldest son of Yuan Shihao, the Minister of Works. He had been Fu Baiheng's study partner since childhood, and the two had a close relationship, remaining inseparable even as they grew up.
"Four days ago, on the night of August 28th, where were you?" Fu Baiheng went straight to the point.
Xu Ziling replied: "Of course it's at my house."
"Who can testify for you?"
Xu Ziling turned and glanced at the little boy, "Tong Di."
"Besides him." Fu Baiheng asked aggressively, obviously considering Xu Ziling as a suspect.
Xu Ziling also noticed this and shook his head: "No more."
Tong Di, standing nearby, also sensed the unusually tense atmosphere. After all, he was young and impatient, so he immediately said, "Master Fu can prove it, too!"
Several people looked at Fu Yueli, who remained silent. He had no idea whether Xu Ziling was there or not. His guest room was some distance away from Xu Ziling's, so how could he know if he was there? But at this moment, he was in a dilemma. If he said he couldn't testify, Xu Ziling and Tong Di might reveal the fact that his blindness had been cured. If he testified, and Xu Ziling was indeed connected to the disappearance, wouldn't he be committing perjury? Fu Baiheng would also know that his blindness had been cured, and would even suspect him of involvement in the case.
