“Jiaojiao, if you have time now, can you come over as soon as possible? Things are more difficult than we imagined.” Huo Chen’s tone was solemn.

“Alright, I’ll come over now.” After Chi Jiao said that, she arranged for Pei Yao to find Beitang Lie and protect Xu Ye together. She then rushed to the police station with Quan Jue.

They met Huo Chen at the police station.

“What’s wrong, Officer Huo? Is Shi Kuo refusing to cooperate?” Chi Jiao asked with concern.

Outside the interrogation room, Huo Chen smiled bitterly. “Shi Kuo is very cunning even though he’s so young. He appears cooperative and answered every one of our questions, but his mental fortitude is too strong. He perfectly deflected all our interrogation tricks. He gave nothing up. We can’t even get a proper statement. Moreover, we didn’t find any clues at Zhou Yang’s crime scene. Shi Kuo’s crime is as good as perfect. If this continues, we can’t convict him.”

“You didn’t find any stone, either?” Quan Jue asked.

“No. I’ve already gotten someone to search his house and his room, but we haven’t found anything.” After Huo Chen said that, he seemed to have thought of something and added, “Also, Shi Kuo admitted that he was the one who called the bar yesterday and exposed your cover.”

“What’s the use of his admission? Even if he had followed us, he didn’t directly impact us. At most, we can only give him a verbal warning. There’s no way to convict him,” Chi Jiao said after letting out a sigh.

“That’s right. Also, we found Zhou Qiang’s phone on Zhou Yang’s body. There are no fingerprints on it, so that’s another dead-end.” Huo Chen rubbed his eyebrows worriedly.

“He’s indeed very cunning. Let’s go in and meet him,” Quan Jue said calmly.

“Do you plan to go in like this?” Huo Chen knew that they didn’t want to expose their identities.

Chi Jiao shrugged fearlessly. “It’s useless to hide now. Since he’s already following us, he must already know that our identities are not that simple. In that case, there’s no point in hiding from him. Why don’t we face him head-on? Let’s go.”

With that, Chi Jiao and Quan Jue opened the door and entered the interrogation room.

Shi Kuo was sitting obediently in the huge interrogation room. When he saw the two of them, he did not panic at all. Instead, he revealed a faint smile. “Hello, Seniors.”

“Shi Kuo, having fun?” After Chi Jiao sat down, she leaned her arms on the table and asked him with a meaningful look in her eyes.

“Senior, you sure know how to joke. I was suddenly brought to the police station for questioning. How could it be fun? Did you see Officer Huo just now? He interrogated me for a long time but couldn’t get anything out of me. I think I have proven my innocence. Shouldn’t he be letting me go?” Shi Kuo sighed hypocritically. “To be honest, I’m quite afraid of being here alone.”

“I don’t think so. You’re quite good at pretending,” Quan Jue said indifferently.

Quan Jue had been observing Shi Kuo’s face closely since he entered the room.

A person could lie through his words and body language. Shi Kuo was a very good actor. He had put up a perfect performance.
