Chapter 189: Twists and Turns

Chu Qingzhi was speechless.

She did not want to comment on this complicated Tan family anymore. She really did not know what to say!

Chu Qingzhi walked towards the constable who was recording the interrogation and asked, “Have you recorded everything?”

“It’s all recorded.” The constable had a complicated look on his face. He had been working for several years, but this was the first time he had encountered such a confusing case.

Chu Qingzhi said, “Then let him sign it.”

The constable nodded.

Chu Qingzhi walked to the room where Chu Xujin was interrogating. Coincidentally, the interrogation was over.

When Chu Xujin saw Chu Qingzhi, he quickened his pace and walked over. His expression was extremely lively, and his eyes were filled with vigor. “Fifth Sister.”

Chu Qingzhi asked with concern, “Third Brother, how did it go?”

At this moment, Chu Xujin looked livelier than ever. He said excitedly, “It went well, and I’ve learned a lot. In addition, 1 realize that I still have many shortcomings. 1 have to work harder in the future.”

Chu Qingzhi encouraged, “Accumulate experience slowly. Don’t be anxious.”

Chu Xujin nodded. “Yes.”

Chu Qingzhi looked around and asked, “Where are Hongjun and Linjiang?”

Chu Xujin didn’t know either. “They should be at the mortuary.”

Chu Qingzhi walked out as she said, “I was at the mortuary previously. There was no one.”

As soon as she reached the corridor…

“Master.”

“Master.”

Chu Qingzhi looked up and saw two young men running over. She asked in confusion, “Where did you go?”

Yuan Hongjun’s handsome face was red from running, and he looked cuter. “We saw a sneaky person just now. We chased after him together, but he ran away.”

Chu Qingzhi asked, “Who is it?”

Yuan Hongjun said in frustration, “We couldn’t see his face clearly.”

Chu Qingzhi said, “Forget it. Let’s call it a day. It’s time to go back and eat.”

The two young men nodded. “Ok.”

It was getting late. Chu Qingzhi instructed the head constable and left with everyone.

In the back hall of the county office.

The county magistrate looked at the information Chu Qingzhi had interrogated today and felt terrible. Almost everyone had secrets, and none of them were innocent.

Especially Old Master Tan. He was actually a big traitor. To think that he had praised Old Master Tan for being benevolent in the past. He found it rediculous.

The secretary had already read the dossier and felt mind-blown. “Sir, how should we deal with the Tan family?”

“Although she managed to get so many secrets out of them, there’s no hard evidence. Old Madam Tan is already dead, so it’s possible to question her.” The county magistrate looked up and thought for a moment. “Let’s restrict their travel first and make sure that they’ll be on call. In addition, we’ll secretly monitor everyone and see if the culprit will come looking for them.”

The secretary bowed and replied, “Yes.”

The county magistrate asked, “Has there been any progress on Tan Maozhi’s autopsy?”

The secretary said, “Sir, please look at the dossier. It’s all recorded.”

After reading the coroner’s records, the county magistrate was even more confused. “Out of all the organs, only his heart is poisonous and shrunk. How could this be?”

The secretary couldn’t figure it out either, so he didn’t answer.

The county magistrate felt a headache coming on. “Forget it, forget it. Let’s stop here for today and talk about it tomorrow.”

Tao Yizhou walked in, looking a little dispirited. “Father.”

When the county magistrate saw Tao Yizhou, his head hurt even more. “What did you find?”

Tao Yizhou frowned. He didn’t know how to answer it. It was much harder to investigate than he had imagined. “I’m mainly studying today. I haven’t found anything yet.”

The county magistrate pointed at Tao Yizhou, not knowing what to say. In the end, he only said, “Hurry up and change back. If anyone finds out you disguised yourself as a man and even went to a crime scene, 1’11 be embarrassed.”

Tao Yizhou raised her chin and said indignantly, “Father, Chu Qingzhi can investigate the case, but why can’t I? We’re both women, and I’m slightly older than her?”

The county magistrate said, “It’s not that I look down on you, but she has real ability. Do you have real ability?”

The county magistrate handed the dossier to his daughter. “This is what Chu Qingzhi found out today. Take a look. Could you do it if it were you?”

Tao Yizhou, no, Tao Yiqian arrogantly took the dossier and quickly browsed through it. The more she read, the wider her eyes became. “This, this, this case has too many twists. It’s even more exciting than a play!”

The county magistrate asked, “Can you do it?”

Tao Yiqian said without much confidence, “Don’t underestimate me. I’m just inexperienced. I believe in no time, 1 can do what she can.”

The county magistrate took a sip of tea. “You don’t have many chances. If you can’t prove yourself this time, you’re not allowed to go out casually in the future.”

Tao Yiqian read the dossiers one by one. “Father, did Chu Qingzhi really get these words out of them alone?”

The county magistrate did not doubt Chu Qingzhi’s ability at all. “How can it be fake when there are constables watching? If you don’t believe me, go and see her interrogated tomorrow.”

“Alright.” Tao Yiqian looked at the dossier and said, “By the way, Father, I think Chu Xujin is not bad. He’s quite good at observing.”

“Chu Xujin?” The county magistrate did not have any impression of this name. “Who is it?”

Tao Yiqian felt smug. Her father always said that she didn’t know anything. Now, it was finally the other way around. “Chu Qingzhi’s third brother, you don’t even know this?”

A young man in navy blue appeared in the county magistrate’s mind. That young man always had a smile on his face and looked very likable. “I was wondering why Chu Qingzhi brought him along.”

Tao Yixi said sensibly, “Father, I’ll help you investigate him. If he’s a talent, rope him in. You can definitely use a few more talents.”

The county immediately added, “As long as Chu Xujin is in the government office, Chu Qingzhi will definitely help if anything happens.”

“Father, what should we do next?”

The county magistrate said, “Find out who killed Tan Maozhi..”
