“For someone with superpowers, sneaking out of the house without being monitored shouldn’t be a problem,” Ning An smiled. “You can manipulate vines?”
"What's the problem?" Yu Wei asked calmly and unhurriedly. "Do you need me to demonstrate on the spot?"
What is its purpose?
Yu Wei smiled, closed his eyes, and golden vines slowly grew from his fingertips.
“I can clearly see what’s going on wherever the vines can reach.”
The vines slowly extended to the young policeman's feet, gently wrapping around them and climbing up his trouser leg.
"Black stockings, quite a bit of leg hair, and red ones."
The young policeman jumped to his feet, his face flushed.
"Yu Wei! Be serious!"
"Oh."
Yu Wei chuckled, retracted the vines, and wiped his hands on his clothes.
"Did you use your powers last night?"
"I've used it."
Ning An and the young policeman exchanged a glance. Knowing Yu Wei's temperament, such a straightforward answer must be suspicious. Sure enough, Yu Wei, who couldn't stay serious for more than three seconds, uttered a startling statement.
“My wife is restless when she sleeps, so I tied her hands with vines. Is that illegal?” Yu Wei winked at Ning An, giving her a knowing look.
The young, unmarried policeman couldn't bear to hear such words, and two red clouds instantly rose to his cheeks.
"You get out, let Old Zhao take your place."
Ning An glanced at the young policeman with displeasure; he was still too young.
"Tell me, how did you meet Zhang Jin?"
His intuition told him that Yu Wei was not the murderer, but police investigations rely on evidence, not intuition.
"When I woke up, I found myself at Zhang Qing's house. His sister, Zhang Jin, happened to be home on vacation, and that's how we met."
"She confessed her feelings to you?"
"Yes, on her twentieth birthday, but I declined."
"Does she usually live at home?"
“She didn’t stay there. The repair shop is full of men, and it wouldn’t be convenient for her to live there, so she moved in with her classmate.”
"classmate?"
"I think her name is Zheng Li, and she's also from Luojiang City."
Do you know him?
“I don’t know her.” Yu Wei thought for a moment. “Zhang Jin’s school is quite far away, and we don’t know who she usually hangs out with or who her friends are.”
"According to Zhang Qing, you and Zhang Jin have a good relationship. What do you think?"
“Just friends.” Yu Wei lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then raised his eyes. “She is Zhang Qing’s sister. Zhang Qing is my benefactor.”
"Why would you pay for her tuition if she's just a friend?"
“There’s nothing we can do,” Yu Wei sighed. “The repair shop doesn’t make any money, and her tuition and living expenses are both very high.”
Let's stop here for now.
Ning An picked up her notebook and stood up.
"Hey, why don't you let me go first!"
“You are a prime suspect, and you must stay here until the matter is investigated.”
"Tsk, you're being completely unreasonable!" Yu Wei slammed his fist on the table and stood up. "Arbitrarily detaining citizens, is there no law left?"
"A person with superpowers who failed to register voluntarily will be detained for fifteen days according to law. Do you have any objections?" Ning An raised an eyebrow, stepped forward and patted Yu Wei on the shoulder. "Stay put, you won't be short of food or drink."
"I'm not worried at all!"
Yu Wei sat back down indignantly. Humans with superpowers do have superpowers, but at least they are human, unlike him, who to put it bluntly, is a monster.
No, why would I scold myself?
Besides, it's not that he didn't want to register. It took him more than half a month to figure out what these vines could do, and another month to achieve free control. He had just learned how to do it when all this trouble happened.
Now I've been inexplicably labeled a suspect, who can I complain to?
Lin Gu had been waiting for Yu Wei, but instead of Yu Wei showing up, he received news that he had been detained. There was nothing he could do; the other party had a valid case, so he could only go back first.
"Slow down, slow down..."
Yu Zhen and Lin Gu helped the drunk Zhou Siyu back to his room. He and Wen Dai chatted happily, and both of them got quite drunk.
"Go and rest, I'll stay here and take care of your sister-in-law."
Yu Zhen pulled the blanket up and pushed Lin Gu to the door.
"Wife~ I can't sleep without you."
Lin Gu held Yu Zhen tightly, refusing to let go. She was clearly his wife, so why was she taking care of someone else?
"Come on, you've been sleeping for two months already," Yu Zhen rolled her eyes. "With my brother away, someone has to take care of my sister-in-law."
"Alright, you go take care of your good sister-in-law, I'll be all alone in this empty house..."
Lin Gu hung his head, looking pitiful, just like a steamed bun filled with milk. Yu Zhen couldn't help but reach out and rub it.
"Go and rest." Yu Zhen broke free from his grasp and kissed Lin Gu's face. "You go to sleep first, I'll decide whether to come over later depending on the situation."
To be honest, he was a little afraid of Lin Gu, especially after not seeing him for two months; Lin Gu had become too ruthless.
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
Lin Gu sighed, unable to suppress his regret. He felt he had frightened Yu Zhen last night, so it was understandable that Yu Zhen was unhappy.
