After crossing, I surrounded the capital from the countryside

I didn't expect it to be so coincidental.

When Xu Qingqing first heard the door open, she was wondering what was going on, but when she looked up, she was surprised to find such a big surprise.

He waited until Xu Qingqing had settled the bill before opening the door and leaving.

"Where is that person being held?" Xu Qingqing asked the burly patrolman standing at the door.

The man hurriedly led Xu Qingqing there.

Xu Qingqing stood in the dim temporary interrogation room, staring at the man in black who was tied to a chair. The man in black had sweat all over his face and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, but he still tried to stay calm.

Xu Qingqing did not speak immediately, but quietly observed the man in black for a while. She understood that interrogation was not just a simple question and answer, but more of a psychological warfare.

She knocked on the table lightly, making a crisp sound, breaking the silence in the room. She said in a calm tone: "You don't have to be nervous, I just want to understand some situations. You know, running away is not the solution to the problem."

The man in black raised his head slightly, trying to find a flaw in Xu Qingqing's eyes.

But Xu Qingqing's eyes were firm and deep, as if she could see through his heart.

The man in black didn't understand. She was just a little girl of a few years old. How could she have such strong martial arts skills and such a strong sense of oppression at the moment?

Seeing that the man in black didn't say anything, Xu Qingqing continued, "I know you are a smart person and you should understand the importance of cooperation. Who is your boss? What is their plan?"

The man in black was silent for a while, then raised his head and tried to respond to Xu Qingqing with a provocative look.

But Xu Qingqing was unmoved. She smiled faintly and said, "I know what you are thinking. You may think that as long as you don't speak, I can't do anything to you. But I want to tell you that I have plenty of time. Moreover, I have many more means than you think."

When the man in black heard this, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.

He watched Xu Qingqing take out a silver needle from the table beside him and slowly walk towards him.

He realized that the girl in front of him was not trying to scare him, but really had a way. He began to hesitate, not knowing whether he should tell the truth, but the man did give a lot... For a moment he was still a little hesitant.

Xu Qingqing saw the hesitation of the man in black, so she struck while the iron was hot and continued, "Actually, I don't want to embarrass you. As long as you cooperate, I promise to let you go. How about it? It's up to you to decide whether you want life or money."

The man in black was silent for a moment, then spoke.

"I... I said. Yesterday, an old man came to me and asked me to drug Lun Xiaoyao's food store. He would give me 500 taels of silver after the task was completed. I, I was bewildered for a moment and agreed..."

When the man in black said this, he raised his head and secretly glanced at Xu Qingqing. Seeing her gloomy face, his heart tightened.

Xu Qingqing raised her eyebrows upon hearing this [Wow! It turns out that he not only came here to steal things, but he even dared to drug me!!!]

"What kind of medicine was given? What does that person look like? Tell me everything clearly!" Xu Qingqing asked in a stern voice.

The man in black trembled under the pressure of Xu Qingqing's aura: "He was wearing a tattered long gown, a bamboo hat, his face was full of wrinkles, he was short and a little fat, and he had shifty eyes..."

Listening to the description of the man in black, a person quickly popped up in Xu Qingqing's mind: Shopkeeper Zhao!

With a suspected target in mind, Xu Qingqing took a deep breath, calmed down, and continued, "What other characteristics does the old man have? For example, his accent or any special marks?"

The man in black recalled it carefully, shook his head and said, "His accent is that of a local. As for the marks... I don't seem to notice anything special."

Xu Qingqing narrowed her eyes: "Think about it carefully!"

"Oh, yes, there is a black mole on the man's right index finger! Yes, that's it, I saw it when he gave me the silver!"

Xu Qingqing nodded to indicate that she understood.

He took the medicine bottle handed to him by someone nearby, which the person had just found among a pile of jewelry.

I opened the bottle and took a sniff, and I was sure it was a laxative. It was actually a laxative?!

Xu Qingqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but at the same time she was relieved. It seemed that the person behind the scenes, although unscrupulous, still had some bottom line and didn't use a more deadly poison.

She couldn't help but start thinking about the motive behind this. Was it just a simple prank, or some kind of revenge against Lun Xiaoyao? Or was there some deeper conflict of interest?

Xu Qingqing knew that no matter what the reason behind it was, she had to find out the truth as soon as possible and take measures to prevent similar things from happening again.

She instructed the people around her to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the food in the store to ensure that there were no drug residues.

At the same time, he began to think about increasing the number of night patrols and making sure this kind of thing would not happen again!

And... thinking of that Shopkeeper Zhao...

Although I'm not sure yet, I'll know if it's him when I meet him tomorrow...

That night, Xu Qingqing went back only after making sure that the food in the store was safe.

……

The next day, Shopkeeper Zhao came to the shop early.

His gaze fell accurately on Lun Xiaoyao's door, and he looked there from time to time with his hands behind his back.

The morning passed quickly, with people coming and going on the streets, but Xiaoyao was still very lively, yet unusually quiet, without any commotion or noise.

This made Shopkeeper Zhao feel somewhat surprised and even a little uneasy.

He stood at the street corner, his eyes fixed on Lun Xiaoyao, but his heart was in turmoil. The calmness before him was like a heavy hammer, hitting his heart hard.

He originally thought that what happened last night would definitely cause a storm, but now it seems that everything is still calm. The chaos and commotion he expected did not appear. It is very likely that the man was caught!

[This is useless! !] Shopkeeper Zhao roared inwardly, anger and disappointment intertwined, almost bursting through his chest.

However, he knew very well that he could not lose his composure at this time, so he suppressed his inner emotions and remained calm on the surface.

Turning back to the shop, Shopkeeper Zhao finally could no longer control his emotions.

His hands were clenched into fists, his nails dug deep into his flesh, as if he wanted to vent his inner anger and regret through pain. His face was distorted, his muscles were tense, and he seemed to be consumed by anger.

The waiter at the side was frightened by the sudden ferocious look of Shopkeeper Zhao. He did not dare to look Shopkeeper Zhao in the eye and quickly hid to the side. He was afraid that he would be blamed for his innocence, so he could only carefully observe Shopkeeper Zhao's movements and silently pray in his heart that this storm would be settled as soon as possible.
