Chapter 572: Wait!
Because they could not figure out whether Yu Da had given the order or Fang Fang had taken the initiative to kill someone, during the time they were capturing Fang Fang, Yu Da, Bottle, Water, and Flight were locked up together.
Jing Fei wanted to see if there were any clues from their usual chat.
At this moment, when Bottle said this, the rest revealed shocked expressions.
Gu Yunqing narrowed her eyes. “Yes. This way, Fang Fang can live. Otherwise, she’ll probably be sentenced to death within a week after tomorrow’s trial.”
Yu Da widened his eyes in shock, but he said without hesitation, “Give it up!”
A vicious look flashed across Gu Yunqing’s eyes.
The pain and embarra.s.sment from being beaten up by Xue Xi today filled her with hatred. Now that she finally had a backer in Zheng Zhi, she definitely could not miss this chance.
Otherwise, with Xue Xi and Xiang Huai around, Gu Yunqing would never be able to stand out in the special department!
It was impossible to pull Xiang Huai down from a high position.
However, if Xue Xi were to take on a murder case, there would definitely be no problem!
Gu Yunqing sneered. “Do you know how Fang Fang got captured? It was Xue Xi who persuaded her to put down her weapon. She said that she would take care of you guys, but I’m telling you, she has already given up on you! Only you guys are still foolishly working for her!
“Yu Da, let me ask you again. Are you going to tell me or not?”
Yu Da lowered his eyes. “I gave the order. It has nothing to do with anyone else.”
Gu Yunqing: “Fine, you’re still being stubborn, aren’t you? You refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit! Don’t blame me for not caring about the relations.h.i.+p we had at the club for so many years!”
After saying that, she took a step back and waved at the people behind her. “You guys, bring Yu Da out!”
…
Although Xiang Huai was not here, Jing Fei was. Hence, Xiang Huai heard everything.
Jing Fei said, “This Gu Yunqing is too despicable! She used a chicken feather as a token of authority. Also, Zheng Zhi is too much. He actually asked her to interrogate him! Boss, do we need to stop her?”
Xiang Huai’s lazy voice sounded. “No need.”
Jing Fei: “…But what if she kills someone?”
Xiang Huai was still not anxious. “She doesn’t dare.”
Jing Fei: “…Boss, what exactly are you up to? Do you have to make Yu Da compromise and accuse Sister Xi before you act?”
Xiang Huai leaned on the bed. “If he testifies, he will let down the little kid’s efforts for the past few days.”
Jing Fei: “…”
Xiang Huai’s eyes turned cold. “If he can’t even get past this, then there’s no need to save him.”
Jing Fei was stunned. “Then, what if he does get past it?”
Xiang Huai’s voice was light. “Then they’ll be given their freedom.”
“…”
Boss, are you trying to prove the reliability of friends.h.i.+p using Sister Xi?
That’s not right. Boss, what exactly are you doing?
Even if Yu Da did not kill anyone, he had still done other things in the club. It was illegal to threaten others and steal things! He would definitely be arrested. At the very least, he would be jailed for three to five years. Moreover, espers had broken the law. Even if they got out in the future, they had to have their lives strictly monitored. With a criminal record, they would be severely sentenced if they broke the law again!
These people could not be given their freedom at all!
Does it mean that as long as Sister Xi doesn’t get beaten up and suffer, you don’t intend to appear?!
Jing Fei scratched his head.
He had always felt that he was quite smart. Why couldn’t he see through Boss’s thoughts?
However, it made sense. If he could think it through, he would have become the boss long ago.
If Boss took one step while looking at the next ten steps, he would not make a mistake. That seemed about right!
…
At 2 AM.
In Jing Fei’s office, Xue Xi sat and stared blankly at the computer.
Something was amiss.
Something must be wrong.
A thought kept circling in Xue Xi’s mind, but she could not grasp it. She felt as though she was about to think of something in the next second, but she was interrupted again.
Xue Xi pressed her head and closed her eyes as she tried her best to recall everything that had happened since the beginning.
Unknowingly, it was already late at night.
At this moment, she suddenly heard her phone ring.
Xue Xi suddenly opened her eyes and saw that it was a call from a certain number. She picked it up and saw Gu Yunqing smiling. “Xue Xi, do you know? I was in that club for two years, but they never let me partic.i.p.ate in core matters. Hence, even though I usually chat and laugh with Yu Da, they actually never accepted me. I thought that since you’ve only joined for a week, you should be the same.”
Xue Xi did not speak.
Gu Yunqing clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. “I didn’t expect your friends.h.i.+p to be so reliable!”
Friends.h.i.+p?
Xue Xi suddenly understood what she meant and stood up. “What did you do to them?”
Gu Yunqing sneered. “What can I do? I just want them to confess that you paid them money to kill someone. But those idiots are so stubborn that they won’t admit it even in the end! Come, let me show you how they look. I’ll send you a video. Do you see it? If they don’t confess, I use electric shocks. Do you know how to use electric shocks? It hurts…”
Gu Yunqing hung up and sent a video over.
Xue Xi opened it and saw the miserable looks of Yu Da, Bottle, Water, and Flight. The four of them were tied to a chair and someone behind them would hit them with an electric baton. Following that, they screamed!
Yu Da gritted his teeth. He seemed to have sensed that she was recording, but he did not seem to realize that he was about to faint from the clicking. He slowly said something to the video.
Xue Xi’s pupils constricted when she saw that!
What does this mean?
She could not be bothered to take revenge… With Jing Fei around, Gu Yunqing could not kill anyone in the police station.
What she was most anxious about now was…
She typed quickly on the computer…
…
At this moment, Fang Fang’s tragic cries came from the interrogation room.
Gu Yunqing grabbed Fang Fang’s hair and pulled her up by the neck. Gu Yunqing was reprimanding her. “Are you confessing or not?! Tell me, did Xue Xi hire a hitman?”
Fang Fang’s usually fair and almost transparent skin was now red. She stared at Gu Yunqing and suddenly spat.
Pak! She gave Fang Fang a tight slap.
“No torture!” Zheng Zhi shouted sternly.
Gu Yunqing wiped her face and did not dare to attack again. Instead, she shone a white, high-energy light bulb on Fang Fang’s face, making her unable to fall asleep at such a sleepy moment.
Gu Yunqing said, “Do you want to sleep? When can you sleep?”
The scorching incandescent lamp was almost on her face. Fang Fang felt as though her face was burning. She wanted to stay away, but she was handcuffed.
She wanted to sleep. She was too sleepy.
But to testify against Sister Xi?
Impossible.
Even if she died, she would not testify.
…
…
At the same time, the sound of Xue Xi typing on the keyboard echoed throughout the night in Jing Fei’s office.
It did not stop even when the sky turned bright.
…
10 AM.
Fang Fang, who had not slept the whole night, turned even paler.
Yu Da and the rest were also brought out from the prison.
The five of them went to a special court and waited for the final judgment of their crimes.
Zheng Zhi was dressed in a judge’s uniform and sat at the front of the court. His eyes were fixed on the door, but before the final trial, he did not see that figure.
Ha.
How disappointing.
I’ve already said it before. What can an ordinary person do for the special department? Can they solve a case?
There were no listeners in the special court. Only Jing Fei was anxiously watching the time. Sister Xi had asked him to come over and delay the verdict, saying that she still needed some time.
However, he had been here for ten minutes. Why was she not here yet?
On the other hand, Fang Fang and Yu Da, despite being covered in injuries, looked at each other.
Yu Da suddenly said, “I’m the mastermind.”
Zheng Zhi said coldly, “This is the court, the fairest place. It’s not a place for you to cover up for each other. We already know who the mastermind and who the murderer is. Now, I’ll announce—”
Gu Yunqing stood at the side with a hint of disappointment in her excited expression. Before coming today, she had drunk an entire bottle of that beverage. Now, her feet were floating and she felt that she was in an extreme state of excitement.
She had wanted to drag Xue Xi down with them, but she did not expect that these people would not cooperate. However, she had worked hard the whole night and had not gained nothing.
After all, Xue Xi had seen her friends treat her so well, but one of them was going to be sentenced to death today. How pained and sad she must be!
Gu Yunqing did not realize that her mind was already distorted.
In order to make Xue Xi suffer, she could do anything!
Judgment…
Death sentence!
The special court was very efficient. Basically, after the sentence was given, the death penalty would be immediately carried out.
Fang Fang was hopeless!
Yu Da and the rest would also be severely sentenced.
Just as Gu Yunqing was thinking this, he heard Zheng Zhi continue, “According to Huaxia’s special law, Fang Fang and Yu Da… are guilty of murder.”
“The mastermind, Fang Fang, has been sentenced to death…”
Before he could finish speaking, a cold and hoa.r.s.e voice sounded. “Wait!”
Zheng Zhi frowned when his sentence was interrupted.
Everyone in the court turned to look at the door and saw the girl, who had not slept for the entire night, slowly walking in with red eyes…
Gu Yunqing’s pupils shrank as she hurriedly shouted, “Xue Xi, what are you doing? This is a court, not a place for you to make a scene!”
Zheng Zhi also frowned. “You guys, chase the unrelated personnel out!”
Someone walked toward Xue Xi.
Jing Fei stopped them.
Xue Xi said, “There’s a problem with this case.”
Zheng Zhi’s face darkened. “Do you think we’d believe there’s a problem just because you said so? Do you have any evidence? If you don’t have any evidence, you can’t spout nonsense here and disturb the court order. You can even be sentenced for crimes for that!”
Xue Xi said firmly, “Who said that I don’t have evidence?”
