Translator: Guy Gone Bad
As Ji Yue instructed, Nangong Ze called the police and ordered that no one could get near to Xiaomei's body .
When Ji Yue went back to the main building holding Xia Liang in his arms, the policemen were already there doing their evidence collection job .
After doing all sorts of basic a.n.a.lysis, the police ruled out the possibility of suicide or accidental death .
So there was only one possibility left—murder!
Obviously she was murdered by someone in the manor .
All people in the manor were suspects . They had to give their alibi and take witness statement one by one .
Except for more than 40 servants in the manor, there were a few masters of Nangong family . It took quite some time to finish all the investigations .
Ji Yue stood next to the police when they asked questions .
Advertis.e.m.e.nt
He didn't ask questions but he listened attentively, unlike the police who wrote down all the details about the questions that they asked .
He stood there quietly, rubbing his chin and staring at their faces, tapping his finger on his arm .
But Xia Liang was surprised that he could memorize everything all the servants said, even though he didn't write a single word down on a notebook or something .
He had an extraordinary memory as she did .
He also asked a couple of questions from time to time and each time he asked, he got right to the point and discovered the contradictive places between the servants' statements .
Some servants made little lies because of some personal reasons but Ji Yue could see all them through finally .
After some got exposed on spot, no one dared to tell any lies .
The policemen who cooperated with him were all amazed by his skills and looked him with admiration in their eyes .
Even though he was snuggled by a black cat all the time, he was still like a hero to them .
Yes . Xia Liang stuck with Ji Yue the whole time . No one could chase her away .
The policemen tried to take her away in the beginning but Ji Yue stopped them .
Xia Liang now had a better impression on Ji Yue . So she was more determined toride on Ji Yue's coattails . .
In others' eyes, she was obviously Ji Yue's ankle pendant . But she just had no idea herself .
Xia Liang focused on a.n.a.lyzing all the conversations during the investigations and tried to find a breakthrough .
And she wanted to find if she could find a man in black but failed .
It was not until two hours later that the first round of investigation was over .
Xia Liang was disappointed that she got noting important from it . Those servants either witnessed for one another and provided each other with an alibi, or they had no motivation at all .
There was no progress in the case for then .
…
The already overcast Nangong family now became kind of spooky due to Xiaomei's death .
Everyone was paranoid and looked around while they walked around . They might be startled to scream only because of a common noise .
Some maids even cried in front of Nangong Ze and begged to quit and let them go .
Because they didn't want to be killed like Xiaomei .
Of course Nangong Ze would not agree . Now was the emergency period . Anyone would be the suspect . He might set free the real murderer this way .
It was 10pm in Ji Yue's room .
“Liang, come here . Let me give you a bath . Then we can go to bed together . All right?” Ji Yue rubbed Xia Liang who was lying on his lap yawning .
Xia Liang got excited because finally he was going to bed .
She finally had a chance to sneak out if he went to bed .
She tried so many times to go out earlier this evening . But Ji Yue stopped her every time and took her back and then held her in his arms .
He even warned her not to go out .
Xia Liang struggled a bit at the beginning but later she started to doze off on Ji Yue's lap because his arms were so warm that she couldn't resist .
