Chapter 658 - New

The fingers on the table had turned pale due to the loss of blood. Everyone, except for Li Huowang, was stunned and surprised.

Li Huowang was naturally handcuffed.

“Wait, I’m the victim here! Are you kidding me?! Why am I being handcuffed?!” Li Huowang shouted, but everyone ignored him.

Two officers stood guard while the others went outside.

Sun Jianye listened to Li Huowang shout as he read the information they had about the unusual youth.

He hated people with mental illnesses. Their statements could be false, and their way of thinking diverged so much from the norm that Sun Jianye’s interrogation techniques were useless.

If the suspect didn’t provide any leads, he could only investigate the case from another angle.

Sun Jianye picked up Li Huowang’s phone and checked the call log. He saw that Li Huowang had called a person today and dialed the number.

—Hello? Li Huowang? Why did you hang up on me just now? Oh, I’m sorry. How is he? Yes, I’m his doctor. Was there anything strange about him? He did call me to ask if he had a delusional disorder.

Sun Jianye nodded. He had gained a small lead.

He obtained more details from Yi Donglai before he returned to the interrogation room. He sat across from Li Huowang. “Can you tell me where you got the two fingers?”

“How many times must I say that the fingers came from the kidnappers inside the car?” Li Huowang explained as he tried to remain patient.

Sun Jianye took out his phone and showed it to Li Huowang. “Is that so? There’s no car in the video footage, and no kidnappers either.”

“What? That’s impossible!” Li Huowang shouted and looked at the video.

He looked at the date and time on the top before confirming that the video was from today.

He checked his map and hesitated. “It should be here, shouldn’t it? I hope we're not going in the wrong direction.”

Even though he had a map, there was nothing in the empty grassfield for him to get his bearings. He wasn’t sure if he was going the right way.

Zhao Xiumei and Yang Xiaohai continued their journey, then Yang Xiaohai saw a small hill in the distance.

The small hill was covered in yellow grass and looked like a steamed bun from a distance. Yang Xiaohai had seen many of these hills over the past few days. He remembered them because their shape was very special.

“I remember seeing something like this when I traveled with Senior Li last time. We should be close to Sun Baolu’s house.”

Just as he said that, he saw tents on the horizon, which got him excited.

“Go! Go! Run faster!” Yang Xiaohai shouted, using a horse whip to urge the horses to run.

Various Qing Qiu natives with tanned skin were walking in and out of the tents, but some of them had visibly lighter skin. Sun Baolu was one of them.

Sun Baolu was excited when he saw Yang Xiaohai. He never thought they would meet again.

“Sun Baolu! Gao Zhijian became the Emperor! Puppy got married and had a child! Senior Li’s sickness is cured too!” Yang Xiaohai reported all of the joyful news that happened recently.

Sun Baolu listened to Yang Xiaohai and asked what happened to the group after they left Qing Qiu.

“Is that so? It’s a blessing for everyone to live so happily now.” Sun Baolu was very happy for them. They were once comrades who braved against death just to reach home.

“Wait, Xiaohai, why are you here in Qing Qiu?”

“Gao Zhijian helped me find my parents. They are boat people from Hou Shu. I want to go find them.” Yang Xiaohai told him his goals.

“Hou Shu?” Sun Baolu panicked and held Yang Xiaohai’s hands.

“No, you can’t go! Hou Shu is now in a war with the new Yu’er Kingdom. The war is terrible and I don’t want you to die there!”
