Beitang Lie was certain that Jiang Dashan had seen the murderer. Otherwise, he could have said that he didn’t see anything from the start. He wouldn’t be stammering like this otherwise.

Chi Jiao signaled Beitang Lie with her eyes. She shook her head, indicating for him to calm down.

She could tell that Jiang Dashan was deliberately keeping it a secret.

Chi Jiao was not in a hurry. Instead, she leaned back in her chair and smiled slowly. “But you have to give me something, okay?”

Jiang Dashan hesitated for a moment before saying weakly, “It’s like this. I saw that the person was a man. He raised his hand and pointed in my direction four times.”

“You can tell that he’s a man? Didn’t you say you don’t know what he looks like at all?!” Beitang Lie couldn’t hold it in anymore. He clenched his fists and glared at him.

Only then did Jiang Dashan realize that he had said something contradictory. He hurriedly looked away and argued, “Anyway, I didn’t see things clearly. That’s all I know. Believe it or not.”

“Beitang Lie, let’s stop here. Mr. Jiang, thank you for your cooperation. We still have work to do, so we won’t stay and waste your time.” Chi Jiao nodded at him and left with Beitang Lie.

“Boss, are we letting him off just like that?” Beitang Lie was indignant. He was certain that Jiang Dashan knew more than he was letting on.

It was a waste to let him off just like that!

“Didn’t Mr. Jiang already tell us that that was all he knew?” Chi Jiao asked.

Beitang Lie was dumbfounded by her question.

If he could tell that there was something fishy with Jiang Dashan, Chi Jiao would definitely spot it as well.

So why did she let him off?

“Wait a minute, you said earlier that you would protect me as long as I provide information?” Jiang Dashan asked urgently.

“Mr. Jiang, we will indeed provide you with protection if you offer good information. But the information you provided is useless to my investigation. We can’t protect you,” Chi Jiao said coldly.

Jiang Dashan looked deflated. He stammered, “You… How can you do this? You deceived me!”

“Don’t worry, Mr. Jiang. Although we can’t protect you, I can tell you why the murderer pointed at you four times.” Chi Jiao turned around and faced him.

Jiang Dashan was puzzled. He asked, “Why?”

“The murderer was counting the number of floors. He was counting which level you were on. He tapped the air four times, proving that he now knows that you live on the fourth floor.” Chi Jiao’s voice was cold as it echoed in the air.

Her casual words sent a chill down Jiang Dashan’s spine.

The murderer had confirmed the location of his house. It must be because he wanted to catch him!

Jiang Dashan was completely petrified.

“No, no, I can’t die! Help me! Aren’t you a police officer?” The fear of death made Jiang Dashan lose all rationality. He charged forward to grab Chi Jiao.

Beitang Lie took a step forward and grabbed Jiang Dashan before tossing him aside.

Jiang Dashan wailed as his body hit the ground, causing him to see stars.

Chi Jiao and her subordinates did not look at him again. They turned around and strode away.
