This time, Shi Kuo stopped smiling. He stared at Quan Jue and Chi Jiao and thought for a full minute.

However, in the end, he still smiled. “Seniors, you’re so serious. Didn’t I say that all these have nothing to do with me?”

Shi Kuo was indeed flawless.

Chi Jiao admired him and felt even more regretful. “Thank you for your cooperation. You can go back now.”

Shi Kuo was very surprised. He asked in disbelief, “You’re letting me go just like that?”

“How else? Just as you said, we don’t have any evidence. In that case, we can’t keep you locked up forever, right?” Chi Jiao said matter-of-factly.

Her tone was calm, but Shi Kuo felt that something was wrong. He stared at her and wanted to say something, but he hesitated.

Quan Jue glanced at him coldly. “What’s wrong? You can’t bear to leave?”

Shi Kuo stood up immediately and replied unhurriedly, “Senior really likes to joke. I’ll take my leave first, then. Let’s meet at the canteen next time.”

With that, he opened the door of the interrogation room and walked out.

Huo Chen stood outside. As he watched Shi Kuo leave, a complicated look appeared in the depths of his eyes.

Shi Kuo’s attitude was genial as he nodded at him. “Officer Huo, it’s been hard on you. I’ll make a move first.”

“If it weren’t for Zhou Xiaoyong and the rest, Shi Kuo wouldn’t have become a murderer.” Huo Chen felt very regretful. He took a deep breath and shook his head.

“It’s too late to say anything now. He will continue to kill.” With that, Chi Jiao walked out of the interrogation room with Quan Jue.

“I’m curious as to who he’s going to kill next,” Quan Jue said thoughtfully.

Zhou Xiaoyong, Chen Shuo, and Fu Lei were left.

It wouldn’t be easy for Shi Kuo to attack again.

He was a smart person. Even if he attacked, he wouldn’t kill the three of them all at once. In that case, he would probably make a choice.

“I think it’s Zhou Xiaoyong. At the end of the day, Chen Shuo and Fu Lei are just lackeys. The real problem lies with Zhou Xiaoyong. He’s the culprit behind everything. He’s linked to everything.” Huo Chen analyzed.

“All three of them need protection,” Chi Jiao instructed worriedly.

“Just the mention of that makes me angry!” Huo Chen’s assistant, Xiao Wang, walked over in a huff. He was a young police officer and had a sense of justice. “We wanted to protect Zhou Xiaoyong, but his family wouldn’t cooperate no matter what. They even said that we did something bad to their child and that they wanted to sue us! I’ve never seen anyone so unreasonable.”

“If Zhou Xiaoyong doesn’t take Shi Kuo seriously, it is inevitable his family will be like this. Moreover, the stone which Shi Kuo uses to kill people is so special. Most people don’t believe that such a terrifying thing exists. It’s not surprising that they won’t cooperate,” Chi Jiao said.

Afraid that she would be worried, Huo Chen said hurriedly, “You don’t have to worry. Although his family isn’t cooperating, I still got my men to guard the Zhou family closely. Our men are keeping an eye on Zhou Xiaoyong.”

“It’s fine to keep a close eye on him, but if anything happens, we can let him suffer a little first. At the end of the day, Shi Kuo was the first victim. It was all Zhou Xiaoyong’s fault for going too far.” Chi Jiao couldn’t help feeling disgusted when she thought of Zhou Xiaoyong’s face.
