Hu Yue, who was completely absorbed in her work, never expected that Gu Qi would take the initiative to come to her door.
Although the man still looked as refined and sophisticated as when they last met, Hu Yue could still see the slovenly side of him behind his formal attire.
However, since he had come to see her very seriously, she couldn't just coldly ignore him. So she could only keep a straight face and lead Gu Qi into the reception room next door. As soon as she entered, she couldn't wait to point to the clock on the wall: "I have limited time and I'm afraid I can't have a long talk with Attorney Gu. So I only have fifteen minutes. Please get to the point."
"I heard that Inspector Hu has been busy lately with a case involving sorcerers from the Sawadika Kingdom entering the country?" Gu Qi, who was casually leaning back on the sofa and pushing up his glasses, was not angry at all because of Hu Yue's indirect dismissal. He spoke slowly and gently: "Don't misunderstand, I have no interest in prying into your itinerary!"
I only overheard Mengmeng mentioning this matter, and something about it struck me as very strange. I've thought about it a lot but haven't been able to come up with a reasonable answer, so I've taken the liberty of coming here to ask Inspector Hu for some guidance.”
"Just ask me anything, Attorney Gu. But if it involves confidential case information, I'm afraid I won't be able to offer you any useful help!" Hu Yue was quite surprised that Gu Qi would take the initiative to ask her about the sorcerer. However, considering his explanation and his relationship with Song Mengmeng, she didn't think too much about it.
However, while she doesn't overthink things, she still tries to avoid certain topics that should be avoided.
"I heard that when Inspector Hu and your team arrested that sorcerer, it was you who personally put the special handcuffs on him?!" Gu Qi smiled and didn't hide anything, directly stating the key point of his doubt.
Although she didn't know why Gu Qi would ask that question, Hu Yue still nodded honestly and replied, "That's right. Not only did I personally put the handcuffs on him, but I also personally grabbed him and put him in the police car."
Is there something wrong with asking this?!
"Although I am an ordinary person, I still know a little about the affairs of the Xuanmen because of my profession."
I've heard that anything from the mystical world, regardless of its quality, is somewhat effective against sorcerers and other evil practitioners!
Moreover, these are the special handcuffs you use to capture those demons; they should be extremely powerful! So, even if that sorcerer was exceptionally skilled, he shouldn't have been able to completely break free of the restraints in such a short time, causing the innocent deaths of two police officers on the spot, right?
Since Inspector Hu was the one who handled this matter, you must have received a lot of criticism from your superiors afterward, right?
Since that's the case, and so much time has passed, hasn't Inspector Hu thought about checking if there's anything wrong with these handcuffs?
It's not that I doubt your Taoist sect, it's just that, as you know, my professional habit as a lawyer always makes me unconsciously think deeper!
Of course, Inspector Hu can also completely ignore everything I've said today as mere speculation and nonsense! Well, actually, I don't have anything else to do. I was just on my way to the north of the city to handle a case when I suddenly remembered this matter. I thought that I might be able to see Inspector Hu if I came up here, so I took the liberty of coming over!
I apologize for disturbing Inspector Hu this time. If I have time next time, I will invite Inspector Hu for afternoon tea to make amends!
Goodbye!
Gu Qi stood up, not intending to stay any longer. After exchanging a few brief pleasantries with Hu Yue, he said goodbye and left. Watching Gu Qi's departing figure, Hu Yue stood silently at the door of the reception room for a long while before realizing with regret what a terrible mistake she had made!
Yes, handcuffs!
Why didn't she consider that the handcuffs might be faulty?!
If Gu Qi hadn't come to remind her this time, she would never have thought of this big problem that she had overlooked!
Because of her trust in the Xuanmen sect, she never considered the possible filth hidden within it from the beginning. She only thought that perhaps the sorcerer was too powerful, which was why he was able to break free of the handcuffs so quickly, kill people, and escape!
But what if someone is helping this sorcerer behind all of this?!
After all, after receiving Song Mengmeng's report, she applied to go to the scene immediately, but the special handcuffs used to arrest the criminals were not kept by her side for a long time!
She went to the magical artifacts department to get it at the last minute!
Therefore, it is entirely possible that someone learned of the news in advance and switched her magic artifact!
If all of this is true, then now all her efforts to capture that sorcerer could be completely exposed to him...
Such an outcome is truly terrifying to contemplate!
"Xiao Du, come here for a second!" After discovering this major loophole that could affect the entire arrest operation, Hu Yue immediately made a decision: she had to completely plug this loophole before the worst consequences occurred!
"Inspector, what's up?!" When Xiao Du, who was organizing documents, heard Hu Yue call him, he quickly put down what he was doing and walked over.
"Were there any handcuffs among the items we brought back from the scene?!" Hu Yue asked directly. "And some other evidence. Go and get them; I need to examine them again!"
"We brought back a pair of handcuffs from the scene! They're the ones you personally handcuffed when we arrested that sorcerer! After he escaped, these handcuffs were left at the scene and were collected as evidence by other colleagues who were investigating the scene!"
However, if you want to investigate now, you'll probably have to wait a while.
"Why?!" Hu Yue frowned slightly. Although she hadn't received an answer yet, hearing Xiao Du's explanation made her subconsciously feel uneasy.
Sure enough, before her thought could even form, Xiao Du whispered an explanation to her: "Because these pieces of evidence have already been taken away by Inspector Song for inspection! If you want to see them, you'll have to wait until Inspector Song and the others return the evidence to you for examination!"
"When did Song Ke take these pieces of evidence away for examination?!" Hu Yue immediately became anxious. She stared at Xiao Du, her tone even carrying a rare hint of urgency and panic.
