Eyes that are the same as those of evil

Chapter 77 No Such Person 8
With the help of the anti-prostitution squad, Xiao Qian was quickly arrested and taken to the police station.

The other person seemed a little dazed, unaware of why he had been handcuffed and forced to sit in the solemn interrogation room.

The oppressive atmosphere in this place is no less than that of a prison. People sitting down inevitably feel flustered and confused, and the first thing they say in their arguments is: "What have I done wrong? Have you arrested the wrong person?"

Judging from her reaction, she probably doesn't know about Chen Anxun's death.

“During ‘Qianqian’ and Chen Anxun’s relationship, Xiao Qian was probably only responsible for making a few appearances. All other interactions were controlled by the mastermind behind the scenes, so she probably didn’t know much,” Xiao Chen analyzed through the surveillance video.

Zheng Yan: "But she was hired by the murderer and is the only one who knows the murderer's information, which proves that the murderer was plotting against Chen Anxun. If she's lucky, she might have even seen the murderer's true face."

They didn't rush to interrogate him, but simply observed from outside until the person on the monitor became restless and started to lose control of his emotions.

The time was almost here, Zheng Yan asked, "Have Chen Anxun's friends been called back yet?"

"I've already contacted them, and they said they'll be back right away." Tan Ming glanced at the time and estimated that they would arrive in twenty minutes at most.

"The guy who partnered with Chen Anxun to start a company, the one whose testimony is a bit strange, is Huang Zhixuan, right? Keep a close eye on him, and make sure he comes back again."

After giving his confession, Zheng Yan went into the interrogation room.

Xiao Qian was extremely uncomfortable at this moment. When she saw people coming, she quickly asked, "Have you arrested the wrong person? What have I done wrong?"

“Don’t play dumb,” Zheng Yan said swiftly and decisively. “You are suspected of poisoning and murdering your ex-boyfriend Chen Anxun and defrauding the victim’s family of over a million yuan. We have detailed evidence, and several witnesses who have seen you have given their testimonies. Now, you’d better confess honestly…”

"What poisoning? I didn't poison anyone, and I certainly didn't commit fraud! You must have the wrong person!"

"You're still trying to deny it," a stack of Chen Anxun's photos was thrown in front of her. "Isn't this your ex-boyfriend? He died from poisoned yogurt given to him by his ex-girlfriend Qianqian, and after his death, Qianqian threatened his parents with the child, demanding a huge sum of money to keep the pregnancy going. That Qianqian is you! Chen Anxun's friends have all identified you!"

Xiao Qian stared at the photo, her face turning pale: "He...he's dead?"

"Didn't you just say you'd got the wrong person? Now it seems you know him, and you still say you didn't do it!"

"It really wasn't me! I did date him, but I was hired to act! I met him three or four times, and each time it was just eating, drinking, and sleeping together, but we never exchanged contact information, and I never contacted him privately! It must have been the person who hired me!"

Zheng Yan remained unmoved: "Don't try to shirk responsibility. Who do you think would believe such an outrageous claim?"

"I'm telling the truth!" Xiao Qian was eager to prove herself by any means necessary, and without being urged, she revealed a lot of evidence. "That person paid me 50,000 yuan to seduce his friend. I thought it was just a few rich young men playing some kind of dare game, so I agreed. He even told me a few rules, one of which was that I couldn't contact that guy surnamed Chen in private! Look, look at my phone, there's no trace of him on it!"

"Also, the 50,000 yuan I received a few months ago is here too, look at the payment records! That person said at the time that I shouldn't take money when I'm with his friends, and that I should act high and mighty, but I could buy bags and cars. I still have the luxury bag that the guy surnamed Chen bought for me when we met last month at home, you can check that too! And... and I'm not pregnant at all. The last time I slept with that guy surnamed Chen was last month. I just had a medical check-up a few days ago, you can check my medical report... I like money, but I would never do something like poisoning or fraud. It's a matter of having money but not being alive to use it!"

After she finished speaking, Zheng Yan pretended to question her, "If what you said is true, when did that person hire you?"

"It was around July or August last year, and it was very hot then."

It was indeed less than a year, indicating that the murderer initially infiltrated Chen Anxun's inner circle under a different identity. It's just unclear what came to their mind midway through, but their brain suddenly became a hundred times sharper, leading them to devise such a deceptive scheme.

He then asked, "Have you seen that person?"

"I saw him! He stopped me on the road!" Xiao Qian licked her dry lips, suppressing her thirst, and hurriedly confirmed.

Finally, some good news arrived. Zheng Yan placed a row of photos in front of her: "Is that person in these? Take a close look."

The photos include Chen Anxun's parents, friends, business partners, and even Qiu Chenxing and the victims who were poisoned by drinking the yogurt, as well as Qiu Chenxing's internet celebrity friends, totaling twenty photos.

Xiao Qian looked through the photos one by one, and picked one out without much hesitation.

“This is the person! He’s a friend of mine surnamed Chen. We had dinner together more than two months ago. At that time, he even chased me to the restroom and warned me not to reveal that I knew him.”

The person in that photo is Huang Zhixuan, the deceased Chen Anxun's classmate and business partner.

With a sense of relief, Zheng Yan immediately ordered Tan Ming and the others to go and make the arrest.

"Don't wait for him to come back on his own. When he provided Qianqian's portrait, he and his group were together. He couldn't lie then. Seeing us draw Xiao Qian's face, he must know we'll catch someone and implicate him soon. He might already be planning how to escape the country quickly. We need to catch him fast!"

Tan Ming and Xiao Chen led their team to the scene quickly, leaving half the staff in the office gone.

Watching the arrest team leave, Zheng Yan turned back to look at the nervous and uneasy Xiao Qian. He wanted to say something to comfort her, but just as he was about to speak, he remembered something incongruous.

—The murderer's entire scheme was meticulously planned, with each step linked to the next, and the identities were doubled, demonstrating great caution. However, he was somewhat negligent in his approach regarding Xiao Qian.

If he is the murderer, eliminating Xiao Qian is of paramount importance. Only when the only witness who has seen his true face is gone can the matter be truly considered airtight.

But why is Xiao Qian still perfectly fine?
If he's the murderer... sigh, how come he's using the same catchphrase as Tan Jia?

Zheng Yan immediately stopped and looked Xiao Qian over again, scrutinizing her inch by inch.

Then, sure enough, something was wrong.

Xiao Qian's pupils were dilated, as if she were wearing colored contact lenses, and she also showed symptoms of dry mouth and throat.

"Do you usually drink yogurt? Do you have any at home?" he asked.

Xiao Qian paused for a moment, then nodded: "Some of them, they were from that delivery..."

She jumped up, clutching her neck: "It's poisonous! That yogurt is poisonous, isn't it?! I drank half a carton!"

"Don't be nervous, half a box isn't a large dose. I'll have the doctor check you. You said those yogurts were a gift from Huang Zhixuan? Do you have any more at home?"

"Yes! He said it was imported, very expensive, and gave me a case, but I put it in a corner and forgot about it. I only remembered to open it and drink it a few days ago..."

Zheng Yan then sent someone to Xiao Qian's house to search for yogurt.

It's good that they forgot; finally, there's evidence to prove that the poisoned yogurt was made and distributed by the murderer.

Now we just have to wait for Huang Zhixuan to be brought back and confess to this elaborate scheme.
