Chapter 540: Chapter 527: Dare Not Think

“Don’t thank us too soon, gentlemen. Hongyu is cunning and extremely ruthless. Even with the clues at hand, it will not be easy to pry her mouth open. The rest depends on how you two proceed.”

Chu Jinnian said leisurely,”even if I can’t solve this case, I am not one to rely on just the goodwill.”

Whether or not you can be shaped depends on what kind of mud you are.

“You can rest assured, sir, I understand. I will do my best to solve this case.” Understanding Chu Jinnian’s intention, Ding Gaochang stated definitively and resoundingly.

Chu Jinnian gave a slight smile, stood up and exited the door.

In the prison, the guards patrolled back and forth, pausing to glance at Hongyu as they passed her cell.

“Auntie, what are we doing here? Is that the God of Wealth up there?”

“It seems to me like Earth Master is the one sitting there…”

“I’m hungry. I want a bun, they smell so good…”

As she spoke, Hongyu took off her shoes, held them in her hand, and intently examined them. She let out a hehe chuckle then stuffed her shoe in her mouth, appearing to enjoy it immensely.

“Still playing the madwoman!” The guard sighed, a mix of disgust and pity. Not wishing to observe such unsettling behavior, he quickly moved away.

Seeing this, Hongyu breathed a sigh of relief. Suppressing her revulsion, she put down her shoe, lay down on the ground facing away from the outside. Taking advantage of this moment, she rested for a short while.

She couldn’t help worrying if Ding Gaochang and the others had found it suspicious when she was led out to urinate in the morning.

Before she could ponder it too much, there was a sudden commotion outside.

The sound of the guard unlocking the chain at the door, followed by his voice.

“Master Ding has ordered that this Song Laibao takes Hongyu away, quickly bring Hongyu out, Song Laibao is waiting outside.”

“Amitabha, finally we’re getting rid of this fool. If I had to serve this girl for a few more days, I would go mad myself! However, why do they suddenly want to release Hongyu? Is Master Ding done with the questioning?”

“Yes, we’re still questioning, but questioning her? Ha, when have you ever heard of a fool being able to speak? She’s insane, keeping her here is just a waste of food. But I heard that there are some leads to the case.”

“Really? What are the clues?”

“They said they found the items that the Ma family lost, and some people reported seeing a cavalry in the vicinity, speculating that the case might be the work of a bandit. Now Master Ding and Mr. Xu are discussing it, planning to ask the Magistrate to send more people out to search for the bandit group.”

“These bastard bandits, who hurt both heaven and earth, should soon be found and have their heads chopped off!”
