Chapter 571: Buying Murder?
The three of them turned around and saw Jing Fei walking over quickly. He was usually smiling, but now, his face was black. “Zheng Zhi, you’re pushing it!”
Zheng Zhi kept a straight face. “I do things according to the law. What’s wrong?”
Jing Fei sneered. “I specifically recruited Sister Xi. If you want to kick her out, no one can do it without my permission!”
Zheng Zhi lowered his eyes and hinted, “Since you were the one who recruited her, then please bring her away. If she violates the rules, I won’t care about anyone’s face!”
Jing Fei grabbed Zheng Zhi angrily and said, “Are you biased against Sister Xi?!”
Zheng Zhi sneered. “I’m biased against everyone who comes in through connections!”
Jing Fei: “?”
Zheng Zhi asked, “It’s fine if it’s Gu Yunqing. She was only specially recruited after reporting the club’s goings-on. Moreover, she’s a P1. Everything is according to the rules. But what about her? Let me ask you, why is she a P4 the moment she comes in?”
Jing Fei: “…”
Zheng Zhi continued, “Does she have any special abilities? Does she have a blood test report? What is her genetic score?”
With an esper, the blood would contain different genes from that of ordinary people.
The more powerful one’s superpower was, the more genes one had.
Jing Fei: “…”
Zheng Zhi sneered and lowered his voice. “So, she shouldn’t have appeared in the special department at all. Boss was bewitched by her beauty. Moreover, he didn’t come to work for an entire year. It wasn’t easy for him to come back, so he brought her back. I really don’t see any merits in this woman! I also can’t see anything worthy of my respect.”
Jing Fei took a deep breath. “Sister Xi is very formidable…”
“Heh.” Zheng Zhi sneered and raised his voice to let Xue Xi hear him. “What’s so good about an ordinary person? She can even enter the Special Police Department. Is she here to retire? Can she solve a case or capture criminals?”
Jing Fei: “…”
He was once again rendered speechless.
Boss even said that he wanted Zheng Zhi to see how formidable Sister Xi is, but Boss, did you see that? Sister Xi is being mocked!
Just as he was thinking this, he heard Xue Xi slowly say, “Are you saying that ordinary people can’t be as good as espers?”
Jing Fei: “!”
He turned to look at Xue Xi and shook his head. “Sister Xi, stop it.”
Zheng Zhi was a straightforward person. Moreover, to be honest, other than being exceptionally good at her studies, Sister Xi was indeed not good at criminal investigation.
Wasn’t she asking for a slap in the face?
Just as he thought this, he saw Zheng Zhi sneer. “Then how much better can you be than us?”
Xue Xi lowered her eyes and said, “There’s something fishy about this case. We can’t announce it tomorrow yet.”
Jing Fei and Zheng Zhi: “?”
Zheng Zhi was confused. “You have evidence?”
Xue Xi shook her head. “Not yet, so I want to see Fang Fang and Yu Da again.”
Zheng Zhi sneered. “The evidence is complete and they even admitted to their crimes. I really don’t know what other doubts you have! Or are you looking for this excuse to get close to Fang Fang and Yu Da? Let me tell you, even if this case is really fishy, according to the rules, you have to avoid suspicion now and leave.”
Xue Xi clenched her fists. “You just won’t let me see anyone?”
Zheng Zhi: “Yes, everything must be done according to the rules. If you insist on meeting them, that’s fine too. I will report Jing Fei to the higher-ups. He was the one who, without even knowing the person, specially recruited them!”
Jing Fei, who was standing between the two of them and was about to stop them: “?”
Stunned, he turned to look at Zheng Zhi angrily. “Old Zheng, aren’t you going overboard? You…”
Just as he was about to speak, he saw Xue Xi turn around and leave.
Jing Fei nodded fiercely at Zheng Zhi and followed behind Xue Xi angrily. “Sister Xi, do you want to see them? I can arrange it for you.”
Xue Xi pulled a long face. “Forget it. I need a computer right now.”
Jing Fei: “…No problem.”
…
…
After the two of them left, Zheng Zhi looked at Gu Yunqing. “You’re right. She just wants to plead for Fang Fang and Yu Da.”
Gu Yunqing nodded. “They have a good relationship.”
Zheng Zhi snorted. “The law doesn’t allow any favors. If we judge the case based on favors, what’s the use of the law?”
Gu Yunqing nodded again. “You’re right. In school, this Xue Xi has always relied on her connections to be special. Do you know that our school’s Professor Feng Xingshen treasures her?”
Zheng Zhi’s face darkened.
Feng Xingshen must have taken special care of her because of Boss.
However, such an ordinary woman, other than being a little beautiful, what exactly did Boss fancy about her? She was not worthy of Boss at all.
Seeing that Zheng Zhi was even more disdainful now, Gu Yunqing took a look at the interrogation room and suddenly said, “Aiya, but Xue Xi has always been a cold person. She’s more aloof in school and doesn’t even have a friend. Why would she suddenly care so much about Fang Fang and Yu Da?”
Zheng Zhi immediately said, “What do you want to say? Don’t beat around the bush.”
Gu Yunqing’s eyes flickered. “It’s like this. In fact, Yu Da and Fang Fang’s club was entrusted with a task. Of course, it’s not that they’re innocent of killing someone, but if they’d been hired to kill that someone…”
Zheng Zhi frowned. “Who would hire a murderer?”
Gu Yunqing said, “I might be thinking too much, but Xue Xi and Liu Zhao were classmates. Their relationship was especially bad. Our entire school knows about it.”
Zheng Zhi looked at Gu Yunqing and sneered. “Do you think I’m a tool?”
Gu Yunqing lowered her head. “I’m just stating my doubts. If you don’t believe me, just pretend that I said it in vain. However, I really can’t understand why she’s so worried about Fang Fang and Yu Da. According to what I know, she was a member of the club only for a few days when something happened.”
Zheng Zhi seemed to be in deep thought. He looked at Fang Fang, who was in the interrogation room, and suddenly said, “Go ask Yu Da if there’s any injustice in this.”
“Okay!”
…
With Zheng Zhi’s permission, Gu Yunqing came to the prison where Yu Da was being held.
She stood in front of Yu Da and tried to be emotional and reasonable. “Yu Da, this matter was ultimately decided by Fang Fang. She will be sentenced to death tomorrow.”
Yu Da was shocked and hurriedly rushed over. “I told you, I did it! It wasn’t her!”
Gu Yunqing shook her head. “Do you think you can just absolve her? They already have the evidence!”
Yu Da took a step back in shock.
Gu Yunqing continued, “But now, I have a way to get you guys out of this.”
Bottle asked anxiously, “What way?”
Gu Yunqing hid in the corner so that the camera could not capture her. She then said in a low voice, “Our club accepts commissions to do things. If you took the money to kill someone… then the person who bought the murder will bear the main responsibility!”
Bottle was stunned. “You mean to say that Xue Xi hired someone to kill her?!”
