There was no expression on Nangong Mengli's cold face; she nodded calmly.
Mu Lingxi raised her eyebrows and picked up the information on the table: "Murong Mengli, 23 years old, birthday is September 17th, mother Wang Cuiping, was once a slave bought by the head of the Murong family from a human trafficker, is the above information true?"
Nangong Mengli's expression remained unchanged, "It's true."
Mu Lingxi casually threw the information on the table, leaned forward slightly, and her sharp eyes seemed to penetrate the darkness and fell on Nangong Mengli.
"According to the evidence I have, Murong Zhuo doesn't seem to treat you well. There are even some rumors that your mother died indirectly at his hands. This makes me very curious. Your brothers and sisters don't have the courage to stand up for you. How can you dare to stand up for Murong Zhuo?"
Nangong Mengli raised her eyes slightly and met those sharp eyes. She pondered for a moment and finally said slowly: "That is not a rumor. My mother died because of him."
"Oh?" Mu Lingxi's lips curled up slightly: "That's even more interesting. According to common sense, you should hate Murong Zhuo, but you did something that went against common sense. Why is that?"
"What do you think I am?" Nangong Mengli suddenly asked a very strange question.
This made Mu Lingxi frown: "What do you mean? Aren't you the third daughter of the Murong family? Do you have another identity?"
Nangong Mengli nodded calmly: "When Murong Zhuo was alive, I was the high and mighty Third Miss of the Murong family, but what am I now that Murong Zhuo is dead?"
Mu Lingxi's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, as if she understood something.
"I do hate him, but I don't hate wealth and glory. He can die, but I must have a share in the inheritance of the Murong family. This is what he owes me and what I deserve!" There was a hint of firm ambition in the cold words.
"So you are standing up for yourself? To help yourself become famous and fight for the inheritance?"
"What else?" Nangong Mengli raised the corner of her mouth with a hint of pleasure: "If it's not for myself, could it be for Murong Zhuo?"
"Aren't you afraid that your pride will kill you?"
"No."
"Why aren't you afraid?"
"Because arrogance is also a man's nature, and beautiful women always have some preferential treatment in front of men, and the facts prove this to be the case." Nangong Mengli smiled, and the dazzling light became soft under her smile, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were painted with a layer of bright color by the light.
The two male law enforcers in the field suddenly began to breathe heavily, with irrepressible surprise flashing in their eyes.
"Cough..." Mu Lingxi coughed lightly, bringing the two male law enforcers back to their senses. They lowered their heads in embarrassment.
"Next question, Miss Murong, what is your relationship with Su Mu?"
"He is a shareholder of the bronze coffin and my partner."
"I'm afraid it's not that simple. Qian Zihao is your fiancé, but you brought Su Mu to the dinner. Aren't you afraid..."
"I like him." Nangong Mengli said coldly, and her straightforward words made Mu Lingxi slightly stunned.
"You like him?" Mu Lingxi was very skeptical. Would a woman who dared to risk her life for her own wealth and glory easily fall in love with a man from the downtown area?
"Why? Can't I?"
"Ms. Murong, from what you just said, wealth and power are more important to you than love. A nightmare apostle from the lower city is only at the bronze level. How can he be better than Qian Zihao, the richest man in Star City? But you chose to attend the dinner with Su Mu instead of Qian Zihao. This is intriguing in itself."
At this time, Nangong Mengli suddenly showed an intriguing smile: "Captain Mu, I think... the answer to this question will be known the moment you meet Su Mu.
Any other questions? If not, I have to go back to mourn for Murong Zhuo."
Mu Lingxi stared for a moment, and finally let Nangong Mengli go.
"Captain Mu, Miss Murong did not lie. The polygraph did not sound any alarms during the entire process."
Mu Lingxi looked at the polygraph with a puzzled look in her eyes.
"Bring Sumu in."
The moment Su Mu came in, Mu Lingxi and others finally understood why Nangong Mengli said that.
The man in a neat suit, brown glasses and a snake-patterned wooden cane looked like an aristocrat from a classical oil painting, with a naturally elegant and calm temperament.
When he sat in the interrogation chair with the glaring light shining on his body, it was like the spotlight on the stage, shining on a superstar, coating his fair and flawless skin with a layer of fluorescence. There were no pores or acne on it, like the smoothest satin in the world.
At this moment, Mu Lingxi felt that her heart was a little moved. This feeling had nothing to do with love. It was just like the instinctive reaction of a man seeing a beautiful woman, or a beautiful woman seeing a handsome man. People always like to pursue beautiful things.
How can a grown man have such good skin? Pretty boy!
Mu Lingxi cursed inwardly and then suppressed the strange feeling in her heart. She came here for interrogation, not to admire the handsome guy.
"Mr. Su, you were not invited to the dinner. Why did you go to the dinner?"
Su Mu had a gentle smile on his lips, and his soft eyes seemed to be able to see through the darkness as he stared at Mu Lingxi who was asking questions. He was like a graceful gentleman, always remembering to look at the other person and give them enough respect when talking to them.
"At the invitation of a beautiful lady."
"Is it Murong Mengli?"
"Exactly."
"What is your relationship with her?"
“Colleague and friend.”
"Oh?" Mu Lingxi narrowed her eyes slightly: "But I think Miss Murong seems to have a close relationship with you, and she just admitted that she likes you. As far as I know, when Ao Wang was leaving, he suddenly stopped and turned around to kill your rival Qian Zihao. Why didn't he kill others, but only Qian Zihao?
And! You brought the Golden Eye back from the Nightmare World, and then gave it to Murong Mengli to present to the Murong family master. But by coincidence, Pride suddenly appeared and snatched the Golden Eye away?
What do you have to say?
Su Mu was still smiling: "Do you suspect I'm arrogant?"
"If you can't answer this question, then I have reason to doubt you."
Su Mu calmly pushed up his brown glasses and smiled gently, "Captain Mu, forgive me for being blunt, but if I were arrogant, do you think you could still sit there and ask me questions safely?"
Bang!
The male law enforcer at the side slammed the table: "Sumu! Watch your tone! This is the law enforcement bureau, not your home!"
He had been unhappy with Su Mu for a long time, and jealousy between homosexuals was most obvious.
Su Mu looked at the male law enforcer with a dim gaze. Even though his body was restrained by the interrogation chair, the words he said still made people feel like they were falling into an icy cave.
