Chapter 492: The Captured Person Confessed

Chang Luhui heard Xia Chuyi and asked him why he said the word "also." He immediately explained to Xia Chuyi, saying, "Before, Comrade Chuyi, didn’t you ask me to have someone keep an eye on Xia Lan?"

After a pause, Chang Luhui continued, "According to informants’ feedback, this person was a suspicious individual whom Xia Lan had been in contact with."

"After receiving the informant’s report, I thought about it and then dispatched another person to track this individual."

"As a result, it turned out he was tracking you."

This meant that Chang Luhui had discovered the tracker through Xia Lan.

At this point, Chang Luhui scratched his head and added, "Because he followed you to a secluded area."

"I was afraid he might harm you, so I quickly had someone capture him."

But he hadn’t expected that Xia Chuyi would already know about it.

After listening to Chang Luhui’s explanation, Xia Chuyi nodded slightly, thinking to herself: No wonder.

No wonder this person was inexplicably following her.

Then, Xia Chuyi said, "Today, when I went out to buy a ticket, I already noticed someone was following me."

"Trusting my instincts, I was certain this person was not just a common pickpocket."

"So, I led him around various places, just wanting to see who he was and what he wanted to do."

"However, before he could take any action, you guys had already caught him."

This explained why she had gone to the secluded area.

Plainly speaking, due to a lack of communication, it had led to the current situation.

After explaining her reasons for her actions, Xia Chuyi asked Chang Luhui, "Director Chang, do you now know why he was tracking me?"

Chang Luhui shook his head and said, "It’s still not very clear, but from his previous actions, it seems like he wanted to steal something from you but never found the opportunity to act."

"But fortunately, now that the person has been captured, we’ll know more after an interrogation," Chang Luhui stated plainly.

Indeed, why not just ask for an answer?

But, stealing something?

Xia Chuyi raised an eyebrow, thinking: Xia Lan sent someone to steal something? Was it her Heavenly Book Jade?

After pondering, Xia Chuyi said, "Alright then, you take him back for interrogation first. I’ll go to the Police Station once I’ve bought my ticket."

Thus, the two of them took separate actions.

After going out to buy her ticket, she headed to the Police Station.

As soon as he entered the Police Station, the person had already confessed.

As Xia Chuyi had guessed, the man was indeed there to steal her jade.

Chang Luhui said, "This pickpocket has confessed that someone sent him to steal your belongings, specifically a piece of jade."

"That piece of jade, you reportedly always carry close to your body."

"Comrade Chuyi, do you know what jade it is?" Chang Luhui asked Xia Chuyi.

Xia Chuyi nodded slightly and said, "I know."

However, she did not elaborate on what jade it was.

Chang Luhui did not pursue further questioning.

Only hearing Chang Luhui continue to say, "As long as the item is still with you, that’s what matters."

At this point, Chang Luhui’s expression suddenly grew grave as he said, "Comrade Chuyi, there’s something I need to tell you."

"The pickpocket said he had never seen Xia Lan."

"What?" Xia Chuyi was somewhat surprised and said, "Didn’t you say the informant saw him in contact with Xia Lan?"

Chang Luhui nodded and replied gravely, "That’s correct, the informant did see them in contact."

"However, at that time, Xia Lan was in disguise, so the pickpocket did not see Xia Lan’s true face."
