Chapter 276 - 276 276 Guilty Beyond Death

Chapter 276: Chapter 276: Guilty Beyond Death Chapter 276: Chapter 276: Guilty Beyond Death After finishing, he placed the noodles in a soup bowl.

Qin Yize seemed to be truly hungry.

Not waiting for Gu Qiaoqiao to bring it to him, he entered the kitchen himself, picked up the chopsticks, and casually took a bite, showing a satisfied expression on his face.

“Delicious.”

Having said that, he took the bowl to the dining room.

Gu Qiaoqiao busied herself by serving him a small plate of spicy cabbage, which she placed on the dining table.

Then Gu Qiaoqiao went to clean the kitchen.

Qin Yize ate the noodles calmly and quickly at the dining table.

Perhaps because the cold noodles were quicker to eat, by the time Gu Qiaoqiao had finished cleaning, Qin Yize had already finished his meal, and as a show of appreciation, he had even eaten all the tomatoes and cucumber strips in it.

The previous Qin Yize didn’t like those ingredients in his food.

Once everything was cleaned up, Gu Qiaoqiao lazily sat on the sofa in the living room.

Meanwhile, Qin Yize sat opposite Gu Qiaoqiao. The two exchanged glances, and Gu Qiaoqiao couldn’t help but ask Qin Yize, “How is the case progressing? Have they caught anyone?”

Qin Yize slightly raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Qiaoqiao again before simply and briefly recounting yesterday’s events to her.

Gu Qiaoqiao was somewhat stunned after hearing this.

Wang Xiu had died, the cause being a steel needle in her heart.

Although the woman deserved more than death, such an end was eerily unnatural.

“Killing to silence her?”

“Mhm,” Qin Yize nodded.

“Wang Xiu wasn’t the mastermind, there’s someone else behind this?” Gu Qiaoqiao asked, surprised.

“Mhm,” Qin Yize nodded again, “That person is powerful, having desperados like Scar Two at his beck and call.”

Scar Two was the nickname of the man with the duckbill.

Qin Yize actually didn’t want to discuss such a heavy topic.

However, it was clear that Gu Qiaoqiao had a deep disgust for this human trafficking gang.

“That person must be powerful, and smart too, with both money and people at his disposal, otherwise, he wouldn’t have known about your arrangements so quickly and arranged for someone to kill Wang Xiu shortly after,” Gu Qiaoqiao continued.

“That’s partly true, and partly not,” Qin Yize responded.

“Why?”

“Because my visit to Linjing Middle School was a spur-of-the-moment decision. Maybe the person behind the scenes knew about Wang Xiu processing a transfer request, so he decided to eliminate the disobedient Wang Xiu, and then it just so happened…”

“That’s ruthless, but Wang Xiu got what she deserved. She ruined the lives of many young girls…” Gu Qiaoqiao said bitterly.

Qin Yize glanced at Gu Qiaoqiao, then spoke lightly, “Other suspects have been arrested, and over a dozen kidnapped children and women have been rescued. This trafficking gang has been effectively eradicated…”

“What about the person behind all this?”

“That’s still under investigation.”

“I think, given that this person has both money and power, they might be someone influential, able to connect with people in South Asia, clearly with contacts abroad too, or perhaps they have just returned from abroad. Anyway, this isn’t just an ordinary citizen,” Gu Qiaoqiao analyzed.

Qin Yize’s eye twinkled subtly, noticing that Gu Qiaoqiao’s thoughts were quite similar to his.

He raised his thumb and praised, “Not bad, you’re very astute, and your analysis is logical. That’s the direction we’re currently investigating.”

Although they hadn’t caught the person behind the scenes, solving the crimes of this gang was still a satisfying achievement.

Gu Qiaoqiao suddenly remembered An Xiaolan and Fang Yueqin.

“Has An Xiaolan confessed?”

“No,” Qin Yize shook his head, “She denies everything, and Fang Yueqin has no evidence on her. Right now, the interrogation is at a stalemate.”
