Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 234 - 207: The Eerie Suspect

By the time the following night arrived, Mu Yunchu received a message from the police team. They said they had already arrested a suspect.

But this suspect refused to reveal their address no matter what.

Surveillance footage was reviewed but yielded no results.

They searched through all the data in the information database, yet they couldn’t find a single clue.

Not even any relatives connected to him were found.

However, the police still believed he must have a place to live, otherwise, where would those illegal drugs be stored?

So they called Mu Yunchu, hoping she could come and help take a look.

As Mu Yunchu was leaving, she could clearly feel a very eager gaze fixed on her.

But she had her reasons for not being able to bring Li Shang along.

Although not entirely sure, she had cast a fortune-telling spell that day. If Li Shang got involved, it would result in great misfortune.

Seeing her hesitate at the door, Li Shang peeked out quietly, thinking she might soften and take him along.

In the end, Mu Yunchu just stood there for a few seconds before continuing on her way out.

Instantly, he sat back in the corner feeling aggrieved.

In sadness, he seemed to hear another voice next to him.

"So pitiful, you seem to have been abandoned."

"Who?"

Li Shang’s eyes scanned sharply around and demanded coldly.

A completely different demeanor from just now.

At the moment, she was sitting in a corner of the courtyard. As she looked around, there was nothing else except for those two Flower Lily blooms.

And that voice was gone, making Li Shang wonder if she was having auditory hallucinations.

Just as Ye Zhixia happened to walk from the front of the shop to the backyard, their eyes met. Noticing Ye Zhixia’s puzzled expression, Li Shang asked, "Are there any customers up front?"

"No, there aren’t?"

"Then did you hear any strange noise?"

Ye Zhixia looked even more perplexed.

She even looked around, "No, nothing..."

Li Shang said nothing more.

Could she really have misheard?

...

Mu Yunchu arrived at the police station in a car, and before she even entered the building, she could hear faint sobbing.

Without needing to look, she knew who it was.

As she stepped inside, she indeed saw He Jiarong crying her eyes out in a corner.

When someone entered, her sobbing paused for a moment. She blinked and looked toward the doorway, saw that it was Mu Yunchu, and continued crying, but her voice was a little quieter than before. She kept sneaking glances at Mu Yunchu, wondering what brought her to the station.

The female officer next to her handed her tissues while comforting her.

Today was indeed quite risky.

Although He Jiarong did previously leak confidential information to outsiders, she now sort of redeemed herself by turning a traitor. Therefore, Zhou Zhicheng uncharacteristically held his tongue.

Seeing Mu Yunchu, he was about to speak, only to be interrupted by He Jiarong’s intermittent sobbing.

He opened his mouth again, but in the end remained silent, leading Mu Yunchu to another quiet office.

"It’s easier to talk here."

Then Zhou Zhicheng recounted every detail of the suspect’s arrest.

That night, He Jiarong and Shen Xun followed their original plan to dine out on a date, all under police protection.

Afterward, Shen Xun escorted He Jiarong to an alleyway they had agreed on earlier.

The alley was rather secluded, with only a few houses nearby, providing ample opportunity for the murderer to make a move.

As expected by Mu Yunchu, shortly after He Jiarong entered, a man followed her in.

Before entering, he looked around to confirm no one noticed him.

This behavior reinforced the officers’ suspicions.

As He Jiarong quickened her pace, clearly sensing someone rushing toward her, she urgently called for help in her earpiece.

At the same time, the assailant lunged at her, aiming to deal with her as quickly as possible.

She was undoubtedly quite scared, but fortunately, she wasn’t injured. The officers appeared just in time. Although He Jiarong fell and scraped her hands in the process, the criminal was apprehended, ensuring her safety from now on. It was a decisive end.

The immediate challenge was to locate this man’s home.

"He claims his name is Liu Cheng, but when we compared people with the same name in the database, even using his face for a search, it came up empty."

There are no employment records in the job registration system. Details about property, utilities payments, or other life traces are entirely absent. Even the most basic identity-linked information, like health insurance or social security accounts, are nowhere to be found.

There’s no trace of him living in Qinghe. If not for his physical presence, they wouldn’t know of his existence.

This is too bizarre.

"Of course, we also checked the surveillance tapes to find his address."

Even though Qinghe is rapidly developing, complete surveillance coverage is impossible. They could confirm he lived in Qinghe, but nothing more. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"Plus, his phone is the oldest model. We even enlisted help from our specialized colleagues to recover old messages and calls, yet found nothing."

In today’s technologically advanced world, it’s hard to believe someone living such an ’isolated’ life.

As Zhou Zhicheng mentioned this, he sighed.

Instinctively, he reached for a pack of cigarettes in his drawer, but his rational mind took over, remembering Mu Yunchu was there, and awkwardly closed it.

Clearing his throat, evidently trying to make conversation, "I’m starting to wonder if we caught the wrong person."

"Do you want me to take you to see the suspect first?"

Mu Yunchu nodded, then got up and followed Zhou Zhicheng outside.

As soon as they stepped into the hallway, He Jiarong’s sobs grew louder.

The two exchanged a glance and then noticed Wen Xu passing by the doorway, their eyes filled with understanding.

He Jiarong couldn’t let go of such a prime opportunity to seek attention. Although she was crying, she gazed unwaveringly at the entrance. When she finally saw that familiar white silhouette, her seemingly diminished sobs intensified again.

However, Wen Xu didn’t glance her way even once.

Seeing he was about to pass by, she became quite anxious, ignoring the colleague beside her, and chased after him.

"Forensic Wen, I think my hand might be injured; could you take a look?"

She caught Wen Xu’s attention in time.

Just then, Mu Yunchu and Zhou Zhicheng emerged from a nearby office.

Wen Xu glanced at her hand, about to speak, when Shen Xun appeared out of nowhere and went over to talk with Mu Yunchu.

Hu Chi, standing at a distance watching this scene, shook his head.

What a chaotic mess.
