What’s going on here...
Didn’t drink any alcohol either, did you?
Could it be that the room is too hot?
Gu Qiaoqiao asked in surprise, "Are you feeling very hot? Your ears are all red."
Qin Yize suddenly looked up, took a deep breath, and concealed all his passionate emotions, shaking his head and saying, "Yeah, it is a bit hot..."
After hearing Qin Yize say this, Gu Qiaoqiao seemed to have realized something.
She began to laugh mischievously.
At this time, Gu Qiaoqiao had practically finished eating.
Even though there wasn’t any food in her mouth, Lian Yuhong still looked at her daughter reproachfully, "Don’t laugh while eating, how old are you? What if a grain of rice ends up in your windpipe?"
Gu Qiaoqiao quickly wiped her mouth and whispered, "I’m full."
It was at this moment they seemed to hear the sound of a police siren in the distance.
Gu Qiaoqiao furrowed her brows and muttered, "Are they catching a fugitive?"
After that, she cast the thought aside...
A few minutes later, the door to the dining room was pushed open.
A bodyguard, looking immensely anxious, stood at the door and spoke, "Old Patriarch, officers from the Southeast Bureau have come to question the son-in-law."
This, however, did not concern the people in the dining room.
Because Qin Yize had been closely associated with the police station for some time.
They had been coordinating operations together.
Yet, Gu Qiaoqiao caught onto a key phrase.
She frowned and looked towards Qin Yize...
"Officers from the Southeast Bureau, I’ve never heard of them before. Why do they want to talk to you?"
Qin Yize put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a napkin, stood up, and said to everyone in the room, "You guys keep eating, I’ll go out and see."
At this time, Qin Yize himself was also unsure.
He had no idea what had happened.
He had never had any dealings with the Southeast Bureau before.
And just like Gu Qiaoqiao, the word "questioning" gave him an unusual feeling.
Gu Qiaoqiao followed him immediately.
In the living room, indeed, three policemen stood.
Qin Yize stood in front of them.
Neither side took a seat.
One officer took out a photograph.
Qin Yize’s gaze narrowed, he recognized the person in the photo,
it was Wang Yuan, who had been hit by his car that afternoon.
The officer asked seriously, "Do you recognize this woman?"
Qin Yize nodded slightly, his voice grave, "I recognize her. My car hit her this afternoon, and then I took her to the hospital. On the way, because my head hurt, I had the taxi take her home."
One of the officers with a flickering gaze stepped forward and said, "Wang Yuan was strangled to death, and someone saw you leaving that yard. So now we hope you’ll come back with us to the Southeast Bureau to assist with the investigation."
Gu Xiaqiao’s heart suddenly started pounding intensely.
In a rush, she moved closer, her face filled with anxiety, "What exactly happened?"
Qin Yize extended his hand, patted Gu Qiaoqiao’s shoulder, and whispered, "It’s nothing, don’t worry."
Then looking towards the dining room, he spoke softly, "Just say I have urgent business at work, and let’s not tell Great Grandfather and the others for the time being."
Gu Qiaoqiao nodded numbly.
At that moment, her mind was a chaotic mess, yet also seemed somewhat blank.
She didn’t understand why the three officers were looking at Qin Yize with not a hint of goodwill.
And what was the matter with that arrest warrant and the photo of a woman?
Now was not the time for Gu Qiaoqiao to have the chance to ask these questions.
Qin Yize had already stridden out of the living room with the three men, leaving Gu Garden.
