Chapter 31 Chapter 31 The First Immortal Surfaced
Chapter 31
The night was getting colder, Qin Ye took off his coat and put it on Jin Miao.
She called two police officers to accompany her and helped Jin Miao to the hospital, intending to settle Jin Miao down first and then return to the police station to participate in the interrogation of Xia Zhonggang.
When she arrived at the county hospital, she found that the doctor on duty today was Xu Libai, and she felt relieved: "Libai, I'll have to trouble you with Jin Miao's injury."
Xu Libai glanced at Jin Miao's injuries, with a cold look in his eyes. The severity of Jin Miao's injuries ranked among the worst among all the patients he had ever treated.
He simply could not imagine what kind of inhuman abuse the patient had suffered in the past.
"It's okay, just leave it to me."
Xu Libai suppressed the anger in his heart and raised the corners of his lips towards Qin Ye, not knowing whether he was comforting himself or her, "I will heal her."
When Qin Ye heard his words, he felt completely at ease.
She borrowed a pen from Xu Libai, wrote down the phone number of the Public Security Bureau on a piece of paper, and put it in Jin Miao's hand: "There is a phone number in Doctor Xu's office. If you have any questions, you can call me. OK?"
Jin Miao looked down at the phone number in his hand and nodded obediently.
Jin Miao is an important witness. In order to prevent any unexpected situations, the two police officers who accompanied her to the hospital stayed in the ward to take care of Jin Miao.
…
Qin Ye left the county hospital alone with a flashlight.
The night wind in the cold winter was particularly biting. She left her outermost cotton coat to Jin Miao. When the wind blew, she felt the chill biting.
Qin Ye couldn't help but quicken his pace on the way back to the bureau.
As soon as she stepped into the County Public Security Bureau, the warm fire in the hall instantly dispelled the coldness on her body.
"Hey, Qin Ye, you're finally back. I told you that if you didn't come back, I would go to the hospital to pick you up!"
Seeing that her face was red from the cold, Li Quan quickly poured her a cup of hot water and handed it to her, "Drink something to warm yourself up first. That bastard Xia Zhonggang is too tight-lipped. He refused to say a word about the case. He even preached to us and praised the First Immortal to the sky."
Qin Ye took the cup of water, drank a sip of water, and his body became warm from the inside out: "What about those two villagers? Did they confess?"
Li Quan shook his head again: "No, they don't know anything."
The two people's behavior didn't seem to be pretending, but more like they really knew nothing.
They believed whatever Xia Zhonggang said and firmly believed that as long as they followed the instructions of the First Immortal, their lives would become better.
"It seems that we have to go through Xia Zhonggang."
Qin Ye put down the water cup and walked towards the interrogation room where Xia Zhonggang was imprisoned.
…
In the interrogation room, Xia Zhonggang found that brainwashing had no effect on the police, so he simply shut his mouth and stared at the two police officers from the Criminal Investigation Department.
Seeing this, Qin Ye pushed the door open and walked in.
As soon as Xia Zhonggang saw her, his expression changed slightly.
In Xia Zhonggang's opinion, if Qin Ye had not met Jin Miao by chance in the village primary school, the fact that he drew blood and sold it to the hospital would never have been exposed, and he would never have been caught by the public security bureau now.
"Xia Zhonggang, you are sitting here, and you are still loyal to the so-called first immortal."
Qin Ye mentioned the First Immortal, with a look of disdain on his face, "You are a cultured person, but you actually believed in a charlatan."
As she expected, when she said something disparaging about the First Immortal, Xia Zhonggang's face became even uglier: "The First Immortal is not a charlatan! The First Immortal is a prophet and a fairy! Don't talk nonsense here!"
Qin Ye sneered disdainfully and deliberately provoked him: "Foresight? Ha, you can only use this to deceive the villagers. Who would believe it if you told others?"
Xia Zhonggang knew that this was her provocation, but out of respect for the First Immortal, he still stiffened his neck and retorted: "Nonsense! The First Immortal predicted the flood in our hometown last year! The earthquake in my boyfriend's home! He can even predict which business will be the most profitable!"
Following the advice of the First Immortal, he made a fortune and even bought a property in Hong Kong.
After listening to Xia Zhonggang's words, Qin Ye discovered that the things that the first immortal "calculated" were all major events recorded in history textbooks.
As a time traveler, she was also clear about these things.
She had a vague guess: Is it possible that this first immortal, like her, came from the future?
…
Seeing that Qin Ye was reluctant to speak, Xia Zhonggang thought that she had heard the "miracle" of the First Immortal and was shaken in her heart.
He raised the corners of his lips in triumph and continued to preach to her: "Qin Gongan, become a believer of the First Immortal. The First Immortal will protect you and give you money, status, and even everything you want."
Qin Ye smiled: "Since the First Immortal is as powerful as you said, he must have figured it out. Are you willing to take all the blame for him?"
Hearing this, the smile on Xia Zhonggang's face instantly disappeared: "What do you mean? ! ! "
Li Quan didn't wait for Qin Ye to speak, and lazily took over Xia Zhonggang's words: "It doesn't mean anything——"
He and Qin Ye have been partners for more than half a year, and now the two of them have an unusual tacit understanding. Naturally, he understood her intention when she said this: "We just think that since everything in Jin Village is led by you, we might as well just convict you as the first immortal."
Li Quan said, and gave Xia Zhonggang a sinister smile: "The First Immortal must have predicted that his followers are loyal to him. Maybe next time he preaches, he will use you as a model to tell his other followers!"
When Xia Zhonggang heard this, he got anxious on the spot: "You can't do this, it's against discipline! This doesn't conform to the police's case handling procedures!!!"
"You are a believer in a cult, what discipline are you talking about with us?"
Qin Ye was very pleased with Li Quan's tacit cooperation, and said lightly, "Let's go, Li Quan, let's go to Jincun Primary School to search early tomorrow morning. By then, the evidence will be irrefutable. I don't believe that the First Immortal will take the initiative to come out and bear the blame for his followers."
As the two were about to stand up, Xia Zhonggang said quickly, "I don't know! It's not that I don't want to tell you, I really don't know where the First Immortal is! Every time we meet, he always covers his face tightly, and I don't even know what he looks like!"
…
Xia Zhonggang's words were exactly the same as those of Hei Si'er who was caught at the crematorium.
They obey the orders of the chief immortal and even do some illegal activities with the help of the chief immortal. But they know nothing about the details such as what the first immortal looks like or where he lives.
But no matter what, Qin Ye was very satisfied that he had finally found a breakthrough from Xia Zhonggang: "Then tell me everything you know."
Xia Zhonggang was afraid that the police would really convict him as the "First Immortal", so he nodded repeatedly: "The people of Jin Village are xenophobic. When I was a sent-down youth, I was assigned to Jin Village as a teacher and was bullied by the villagers. Later, the First Immortal found me..."
He didn't believe it at first and thought the other party was playing tricks.
The first immortal said that their hometown would be hit by floods, and he was skeptical. But for the sake of his parents, he let his parents visit relatives in another province that month.
No one expected that a flood would really happen later, and his old house was washed away without leaving anything behind.
Xia Zhonggang couldn’t imagine what kind of devastating disaster his parents would have suffered if they were still living at home at the time!
From that day on, he believed that the First Immortal was really capable, not to mention that the First Immortal brought him money that he had never had in the first half of his life.
"I have received cultural education, and I know that what Shouxian does is what you call a cult. But, this can make me money!"
Xia Zhonggang continued, "Later, I followed the instructions of the First Immortal and began to try to preach in Jin Village."
The people of Jin Village were much easier to cheat than he had imagined. He only gave them a little money through his fingers. Everyone began to obey his orders and swore to follow the First Immortal until death.
"The First Immortal has many connections. Whenever he needs someone, I will select that person for him in Jin Village. After the task is completed, I will take a small portion of my reward and give it to the chosen person. I will also tell them that this is a reward for loyally following the First Immortal."
In fact, some of the selected people from Jin Village, like Jin Miao and Nini, had their blood drawn and sold to people in need; some boys and girls, because of their outstanding looks, were taken to big cities to "serve" people who were willing to pay a high price; and two children were directly sold to childless couples in the city...
Xia Zhonggang swallowed hard when he said this: "Of course, I did all this according to the instructions of the First Immortal and under his banner. The two parents whose children were sold now think that their children are in the provincial capital, serving the First Immortal."
…
Qin Ye's face turned cold as he listened to Xia Zhonggang's story.
Arranged ghost marriages, forced blood selling, pimping and even human trafficking.
Rather than saying that the First Immortal is preaching, it is better to say that he is trying to recruit and deceive more believers so that they can willingly become his money-making tools.
She threw the notebook on the table in front of her to Xia Zhonggang and said coldly, "Where were those two children sold to? Write down the address clearly for me."
Xia Zhonggang picked up the pen and quickly wrote down two addresses. He put down the pen and suddenly seemed to remember something and added, "Qin Gongan, Shouxian asked me about you. He asked me to find out when you entered the Public Security Bureau and what kind of person you were before you became a police officer."
Qin Ye paused while browsing the address, looked away from the notebook, and stared at Xia Zhonggang: "And then?"
"I told you the truth. People in your village said that you used to be a brainless vase, but after the breakup, you suddenly became smart and joined the police station as a police officer."
Xia Zhonggang pushed his glasses, not daring to look at Qin Ye's expression, and added guiltily, "Qin Gongan, these are all said by your villagers, not me, so don't hate me. After I finished speaking, the First Immortal seemed to mutter, 'It was her'. I didn't know what the First Immortal meant, and I didn't dare to ask..."
As Qin Ye listened to Xia Zhonggang's description, a figure emerged in her mind—Wen Qun, the corrupt policeman who hit and killed her with his car.
At the same time that she was hit and killed by Wen Qun's car in her previous life, Wen Qun was shot dead by police officers with multiple shots.
Perhaps, she is not the only one who was reborn in the 1980s, but also Wen Qun.
The Shouxian was cautious and sinister in his actions, just like the Wen Qun she knew.
Qin Ye's guess was gradually taking shape in her mind. At this moment, the system, which rarely talked to her about irrelevant topics, suddenly spoke: [It is detected that there is another tasker in the host's world. The tasker's name is Wen Qun. The other party’s hidden identity: the First Immortal. 】
