After being murdered by my whole family, I was reborn

Chapter 2140 Tsk tsk tsk, that's it? Such a short life.

Ji Qing silently thought of many things, then suddenly asked, "Where is Zhang Ran being held now? I want to interrogate her myself."

Xiao Xie hesitated to look Ji Qing in the eye and whispered, "In the special interrogation room." Ji Qing had already instructed that special interrogation methods were not allowed to be used on Zhang Ran.

"Hmm." Ji Qing didn't blame him and quickly walked away.

The door was opened from the outside, and light rushed into the dark room.

Zhang Ran, who was sitting in a chair, was awakened by the noise and looked up.

Xiao Xie strode in and reached out to untie the restraints on her body. "Our bureau chief wants to see you."

Ji Qing? Zhang Ran hasn't seen her since he was arrested. The murder of witness Wang Xiong has finally alerted this powerful figure.

Xiao Xie escorted the person into the bureau chief's office, then turned and walked out, closing the door behind him.

"Have a seat." Ji Qing was focused on making tea and greeted him without even looking up.

Zhang Ran walked to the sofa and sat down, with a cup of tea in front of her.

Ji Qing poured herself a cup of tea before looking at Zhang Ran, her gaze falling on the handcuffs she was wearing. "Don't you know how to pick locks? I'm sure you can open these handcuffs yourself even without a key."

"I don't have that ability," Zhang Ran denied outright, picked up her teacup and took a sip, though the handcuffs made it a little inconvenient.

"You haven't had breakfast yet, have you?" Ji Qing took a bag of breakfast from under the coffee table and placed it on the coffee table in front of Zhang Ran.

The plastic bag contained steamed buns, tea eggs, fried dough sticks, and steamed sponge cake.

Looking at the still-steaming breakfast items, Zhang Ran raised an eyebrow and picked up a piece of steamed cake. "You bought these? There are quite a few varieties."

"I didn't buy it." Ji Qing frowned, giving her a meaningful look. "It was my idiot brother who got up early this morning to buy it, saying he was worried I'd be too busy with work and forget to eat breakfast." His real intention wasn't to buy it for her at all; he was just using her as a front. Because they had a housekeeper, even if she was busy at work, her mother always made her eat breakfast before going to work.

Huo City? Zhang Ran bit into the soft, sweet steamed cake, her mind filled with thoughts of when she could finally leave. The food outside was too tempting; how could those foods survive without her to taste it?

Seeing that she didn't say anything and was only focused on eating, Ji Qing cursed her stupid younger brother in her heart, calling him a deadbeat sycophant.

She drank her tea without saying anything more.

After Zhang Ran finished her breakfast, she poured another cup of tea and placed it in front of the other person. "You have a good appetite. It's a pity that all my subordinates were in the hospital after their car accident."

“What’s so pitiful about them?” Zhang Ran asked, puzzled. “Dead people can’t eat. They’re just injured, not dead.”

“You’re right.” Ji Qing stared into her eyes. “Witness Wang Xiong died on the spot, so no one can testify that you killed Zeng Wei.”

"Huh?" Zhang Ran looked regretful. "Didn't Captain Lu say that he had survived a great ordeal and would definitely wake up to testify against me for murder? Tsk tsk tsk, that's it. His life was really short."

Ji Qing watched her performance quietly.

It seems that the thugs who attacked the police were indeed arranged by Zhang Ran, and it wasn't a problem within their ranks. "The Zeng Wei fall case has lost witnesses and lacks evidence, so it's impossible to convict you. But don't forget, the charges against Guo Xiao and your mother are irrefutable. That one charge alone is enough for the judge to sentence you to death."

"Oh." Zhang Ran didn't think much of it, picked up the teacup and took another sip, the fragrance lingering on her lips and teeth. This tea is so delicious, I need to drink a few more cups. These past two days I've only been drinking bland boiled water, my mouth feels so tasteless.

Seeing that she didn't care about his life or death at all, and that a cup of tea was more appealing than anything else, Ji Qing made up her mind. After finishing her tea, she called the female police officer guarding the gate to take the person back to the cell to continue guarding him.

She then left the office and went to the hospital herself.
