Ye Qiu fixed his sharp gaze on Lin Xue, his tone serious as he demanded, “Tell me the truth. How did you get involved with those guys from the Xuanming Sect?”
Lin Xue's face turned pale as paper, tears welling in her eyes. She sobbed, “I... I met a mysterious person online who claimed to be a member of the Xuanming Sect under very coincidental circumstances.
At that time, he assured me that if I was willing to pay a certain price, he could help me fulfill all my wishes.”
Ye Qiu furrowed his brow and pressed on, “What exactly is this so-called price?”
Shaking uncontrollably, Lin Xue stammered, “He... he wanted me to offer sacrifices to raise a little ghost and claimed that only by doing so could I enhance my luck, making it easier for me to acquire Li Wenbo's vast fortune.”
At this point, Lin Xue lowered her head in shame, unable to meet Ye Qiu's or anyone else's gaze.
Slowly, she raised her head again, a hint of regret in her expression as she continued, “Moreover, I completely followed their instructions and secretly mixed a slow-acting poison into Li Wenbo's daily meals.
This poison would gradually erode his bodily functions, causing him to become weak over time and ultimately leading to his sudden heart failure.”
Upon hearing this, Captain Zhao could no longer contain his fury. His eyes widened in anger as he pointed at Lin Xue and shouted, “You are utterly heartless and inhumane!
To commit such an atrocious act for mere money is beyond comprehension!”
“I... I was forced!” Lin Xue cried out as tears streamed down her face like a flood. Her fragile body trembled with fear and injustice as she sobbed uncontrollably, “Those ruthless people from the Xuanming Sect threatened me. If I dared to go against their orders, they would cruelly take my life...”
Ye Qiu's brows knitted tightly as he fixed an intense gaze on Lin Xue and asked in a deep voice, “How exactly did they threaten you? Speak honestly!”
Through her sobs, Lin Xue replied intermittently, “They... they claimed to know about certain mistakes I made in the past. If I even thought of betraying them, they would expose those secrets to the world... ruining my reputation and leaving me with no peace...”
Hearing this, Ye Qiu's expression grew increasingly grave as he continued to question her, “So what exactly have you done that is so unspeakable?”
However, at this question, Lin Xue suddenly clamped her lips shut and fell silent.
Her face turned ghostly white as if all her strength had been drained away; she slumped back into the chair.
Seeing this, Ye Qiu couldn't help but let out a cold snort, a chilling smile playing at the corners of his mouth as he mocked, “Hmph, it seems you still have many secrets left to reveal.”
However, it doesn't matter; the truth will eventually come to light.
"Captain Zhao, take her away and ensure she is rigorously interrogated. We must extract all the facts from her!"
Captain Zhao nodded solemnly and stepped forward, effortlessly escorting Lin Xue out of the oppressive interrogation room like an eagle capturing a chick.
After Lin Xue was taken away, Ye Qiu slowly turned and walked towards Su Mu, who had been standing quietly to the side.
She stopped in front of Su Mu and softly asked, "Su Mu, do you think what Lin Xue just said is true?"
"I believe she hasn't told the whole truth," Su Mu replied with a furrowed brow and a serious expression. "From her evasive words and somewhat unnatural demeanor, it's clear she is deliberately hiding some crucial information.
Those guys from the Xuanming Sect wouldn't be satisfied with just having her raise little ghosts and poison people; I suspect they have instructed her to engage in many other unspeakable activities."
Ye Qiu nodded in agreement, adding, "That's right; I think so too.
To thoroughly investigate this complex case and uncover the truth, we must conduct a deeper inquiry into Lin Xue."
At that moment, Captain Zhao, who had been silent until now, suddenly slammed his hand on the table and shouted angrily, "That despicable Xuanming Sect is nothing but a bunch of deranged scoundrels! Just look at the heinous acts they commit; their ambitions are undoubtedly vast!"
Ye Qiu couldn't help but sigh deeply, expressing her concerns. "Yes, the influence of the Xuanming Sect is as intricate as the roots of an old tree—deeply entrenched.
To uproot them completely and catch them all will not be an easy task!"
Despite this, he immediately added with determination, "However, no matter how great the difficulties and challenges we face, we cannot allow them to continue their reckless behavior!"
Just as everyone was fervently discussing matters, Ye Qiu's phone on the table rang unexpectedly.
Instinctively reaching for it, she looked at the screen and saw an entirely unfamiliar number.
After hesitating for a moment, Ye Qiu pressed the answer button and politely said, "Hello? May I ask who this is?"
"Hello, Ye Qiu," a voice suddenly came through the phone, chilling and eerie, as if it emerged from the depths of hell, carrying a sense of coldness and malevolence.
Upon hearing this voice, Ye Qiu furrowed her brows, a wave of unease washing over her.
She cautiously asked, "Who are you?"
The mysterious figure on the other end let out a sinister laugh before slowly replying, "Who I am is not important. What matters is that I know you are investigating Li Wenxuan's case. Hehehe..."
Ye Qiu's heart tightened at these words, and she pressed for more information. "What is your connection to Li Wenxuan? What does this case have to do with you?"
"Hmph!" The other party scoffed, their tone dripping with menace. "I advise you not to dig any deeper. Otherwise, you will surely regret it! Don't say I didn't warn you."
Ye Qiu gripped her phone tightly, biting her lip in frustration as she asked defiantly, "Are you from the Xuanming Sect?"
"Hahahahaha..." The person laughed mockingly. "You could say that. But even if you know, what difference does it make? Be smart and give up now. Otherwise, what awaits you will be endless pain and disaster."
Ye Qiu shouted angrily, "The Xuanming Sect has committed countless crimes; I will not let you go unpunished! No matter how difficult it gets, I will uncover the truth!"
"You fool!" the voice spat back viciously. "Then just wait and see! Let's see who ends up regretting this in the end! Remember my words: stop your investigation. Otherwise, your fate will be unbearable!"
With that, the person ruthlessly hung up the phone.
As Ye Qiu listened to the busy signal on the line, her expression darkened dramatically, like the sky before a storm.
She understood that the Xuanming Sect had noticed her movements and was now openly threatening her.
However, rather than being intimidated by this threat, she felt even more determined to uncover the truth behind the case and bring the criminals to justice.
At that moment, Captain Zhao approached her and noticed her grave expression. Concerned, he asked, "What's wrong, Team Leader Ye? Is something happening?"
"The people from the Xuanming Sect actually dared to call me and openly threaten me not to continue investigating the case of Li Wenxuan!" Ye Qiu said, her expression grave. Determination and anger flickered in her eyes.
Upon hearing this, Captain Zhao was instantly furious. "These guys are simply lawless and too arrogant!" He slammed his hand on the table, causing the documents on it to jump.
"Don't worry, Team Leader Ye. With us around, you will definitely not be harmed!" Captain Zhao assured her confidently. "Our police department is not to be trifled with; we will protect you at all costs!"
Ye Qiu nodded slightly, showing her trust in Captain Zhao, but she immediately stated resolutely, "I certainly won't fear their threats! As a police officer, it is my mission to uphold justice and uncover the truth.
No matter what sinister plots the Xuanming Sect is hiding behind, I will investigate thoroughly without hesitation, expose their evil deeds, and dismantle this criminal organization once and for all!"
However, at that moment, Ye Qiu couldn't help but ponder: What kind of earth-shattering conspiracy was the Xuanming Sect plotting?
Why were they so wary of her investigation into the Li Wenxuan case?
Could it involve some hidden massive chain of interests or high-ranking individuals?
A series of questions flooded her mind, but Ye Qiu was not intimidated by these challenges; instead, they ignited an even stronger fighting spirit within her.
Faced with the threats and provocations from the Xuanming Sect, Ye Qiu knew that every step she took from now on had to be cautious and deliberate.
Any misstep could not only lead to a deadlock in the investigation but also jeopardize the safety of herself and her teammates.
Yet she was already mentally prepared; no matter what difficulties lay ahead, she firmly believed that good would triumph over evil. In the end, she would surely unveil the mysterious veil of the Xuanming Sect and bring their heinous actions to light for all to see.
