Chapter 69 Police Interrogation (2/2)

”The police are servants of the people. We will never do anything that brings us dishonor. It's just a matter of routine and all we need is his statement. We won't arrest him without sufficient evidence.”

Li Hong nodded.

Jiang Wangting became interested in this man because the sense of justice that he gave while speaking was rare even on other policemen. She had been working as a policewoman for three years but she had only found this feeling in an old policeman who was about to retire. There was a beam of holy light on that face of righteousness when he said, ”Always remember what this suit stand for. When you are wearing it, remember that it is the country and its people that you are serving, not yourself.”

”What kind of a man would say something like that?” She believed that even if Xiao Bing were a bad guy, he would not be that wicked. So her attitude toward him became much better.

Xiao Bing got in the police car with Jiang Wanting sitting next to him. It was not until then he realized how slender she was. Her long and slim legs were pressed against his. After everyone got in the car, she said, ”Let's go.”

”Okay, captain.”

Jiang Wanting restored her aloofness and was silent on the way to the police station. Each time the car shook, their legs would accidentally be pressed together. Xiao Bing did not pay it much attention at first, but after several times, he could not take his eyes off her beautiful, long, and lean legs. Subconsciously, Xiao Bing began going along with the shaking of the car.

”Turns out that this kind of physical contact is more exciting than sex,” Xiao Bing thought.

Unfortunately, good things didn't last and they soon arrived at the police station. Jiang Wanting got off the car after the other three policemen. She looked at Xiao Bing. ”Mr. Xiao, we have arrived. Please get off.”

Evidently, she had become much more polite to Xiao Bing. On the one hand, she was impressed by his words. On the other hand, except for the trespassing, there was no evidence indicating that he was responsible for the murders. And he was already proved innocent for one of them.

She took him to the interrogation room after entering the police station. While a young policeman took dictation, she asked, ”Tell us your name and age.”

”Xiao Bing, 26.”

”What is your occupation?”

”The owner of the Xiaoxiao Noodle House.”

”Where were you when Zhang Gui was killed in that alley?”

Xiao Bing's eyes gleamed with sorrow as he thought of the scarlet rose and blood. ”I was walking down a nearby street. He was already dead when I got there.” Xiao Bing sighed.

”Did you see the murderer clearly?”

Xiao Bing shook his head.

”According to the CCTV footage of that street, you didn't lie. But a woman called Yingzi died in her house. Do you know anything about it?”

”She committed suicide out of love for Zhang Gui.”

”And Mrs. Zhu died in her apartment yesterday. According to CCTV footage, you went to her house yesterday. She fell from the second floor when you were leaving. But she was clearly killed by poison. Why is that?”

Xiao Bing contemplated for a moment before deciding to tell the truth. ”She wanted to kill me.”

Jiang Wanting instantly restored her acuteness and vigilance as a policewoman. She looked into his eyes and asked, ”Who wanted to kill you?”

”Zhu Liya.”

”Why did she want to kill you?”

”Because Zhu Liya is a part of her plan. Zhu Liya is an assassin that she trained.” Xiao Bing sighed.

Jiang Wanting immediately asked, ”Who are you referring to?”

”I don't know her real name, only that she's the North Heaven Queen of the north section of Jiang City. Some people call her the North Heaven Queen, some call her the Peony Fairy.” Xiao Bing grinned. ”If you're interested, why don't you arrest her as well and let me confront her?”

Xiao Bing stared at the outfoxed policewoman.

She avoided his eyes. ”I will arrest her if she's really involved. Why did she send people to kill you? Do you have any conflict of interest with her?”

”Xielun, a man that I have offended in the past, hired her. Do you understand now? They killed Zhang Gui that day and I happened to witness it. Zhu Liya tried to kill me but I saw through her act and she killed herself after failing. Captain Jiang, I also have a question for you.”

”What is it?”

Xiao Bing fixed a burning gaze at her. ”You have sworn to be worthy of the suit and yet you dare not arrest the Peony Fairy. Is it because of a lack of evidence or cowardice? Captain Jiang!”

Right then, Xiao Bing commanded a force like no other.
