Old Mo, eating fish in a courtyard house, reigning supreme in Hong Kong.

Chapter 71: Chen Qingshan suspects Lao Mo has escaped.

At this moment, Li Zaihua also calmed down.

Chen Qingshan was right. Why would someone with such a bright future poison an old woman?

The problem is, Chen Qingshan just confessed.

At that time, there were only Chen Qingshan, Yan Bugui, and his wife in Chen Qingshan's office.

Although Yan Bugui was also a suspect, he hadn't even touched the cup.

It was you, Chen Qingshan, who brought the water to give to the person, and now that person is poisoned, who else could it be but you?

If someone is trying to frame you, shouldn't they at least put the poison in the kettle?

But the water in the kettle isn't poisonous! It's poisonous the moment you pour it out. Who else could it be but you?

Most importantly, that enamel mug also came from Chen Qingshan's office and was specifically used to entertain guests.

Normally, it is always washed very clean.

Did they poison the enamel mug? Even if they did, didn't you see it or notice it when you poured the water?

This isn't your responsibility. If the person who framed you can't be found, then you're the murderer.

Therefore, Chen Qingshan is beyond saving.

Now all I can pray for is that Yang Ruihua doesn't die. If Yang Ruihua dies, then Chen Qingshan will be a murderer.

Especially since he was also the captain of the public security team, his crime was compounded, and he even got a share of peanuts.

This case will shake the entire Hongxing Police Station. Even Li Zaihua might be implicated.

Just then, the police officers who had taken Yang Ruihua to the hospital returned.

He cautiously approached Li Zaihua and whispered, "Chief Li, the person has been taken to the hospital. The doctor said that Yang Ruihua was poisoned in the same way that Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangqi's family were poisoned, and there's no cure. Yang Ruihua has at most seven to fifteen days to live."

Clang.

Chen Qingshan instantly slumped into the chair of regret.

It's all over, everything is over.

Why is this happening? Why is this happening?

Just then, he remembered that cold, dead face, and Old Mo's words.

"Chen Qingshan, you've got guts. If I don't strip you of your skin this time, I'll take your surname."

Chen Qingshan jumped up.

"Chief, Chief, please listen to me."

Li Zaihua looked at him with icy eyes.

Chen Qingshan quickly seized the opportunity and said, "I know, it's Lao Mogan's doing, it must be Lao Mogan's doing. He wanted to harm me. When I went to arrest him, he said that this time he would definitely skin me alive. Now he has done it. Chief, I'm sure it was him who did it."

Li Zaihua looked at him as if he were a madman.

"Chen Qingshan, do you know what you're saying? Chen Jinmo is still locked up in that dark room. How could he have committed a crime?"

If he could really get out, he would have run away immediately. How could he possibly come to your office to poison you? Do you think I'm stupid?

As a police captain, are you going to act like those people in compound number 95, making baseless accusations?

"No. Director, I trust my intuition. That Chen Jinmo is definitely not in the dark room now, I'm sure of it."

By the way, according to my subordinates, it's been almost two days since he went in, and he hasn't eaten a single bite of the food we've brought him.

At the time, I thought he was just being stubborn and trying to threaten me with a hunger strike. But now, I'm sure he's escaped. Chief, let's go check on him!"

Li Zaihua was taken aback for a moment, then quickly said, "Who has been bringing him food these past two days? Find them immediately."

Soon, the person who delivered the food arrived.

After learning what had happened, the man quickly said, "Chief, that's exactly right. Since Chen Jinmo was locked up, he hasn't had a single bite of food or a drop of water."

Li Zaihua asked, "Can you confirm whether the person is still inside?"

It's not that Li Zaihua is being long-winded, but this man has already been locked up for two days. If we wait another day at most, he'll break down and confess.

If we open the door now, all our previous efforts will be wasted.

Therefore, he doesn't want to open that door unless absolutely necessary.

The man shook his head and said, "It's too dark inside, and I can't hear a sound. I can't be sure if anyone is inside."

Logically speaking, after being locked in that dark room for two days, he should be extremely agitated by now, and it's impossible for him to remain completely still.

Unless they're dead, there's no one inside at all.

Li Zaihua took a deep breath and finally made up his mind, saying, "Let's take Chen Qingshan with us and go take a look."

Soon, a group of people arrived at the door of the small dark room in a flurry.

Li Zaihua was still unwilling to give up. He opened the hole through which the food was delivered and called out, "Old Mo, Old Mo, are you still there? Speak up..."

Old Mo had seen their actions clearly, and now he was lying there pretending to be dead. He remained unmoved, regardless of the winds blowing from any direction.

Li Zaihua took a deep breath and ordered, "Open the door."

Upon receiving the order, a policeman immediately took out a key and unlocked the door.

The heavy stone door slowly opened, and the lights inside came on.

Then they saw a person who looked like a lump of mud curled up in the corner, and he looked no different from being dead.

Looking at the food at the cave entrance, it was clear that not a single bite had been touched.

Looking at the entire dark room again, there was no damage whatsoever.

Chen Qingshan was dumbfounded to see that Lao Mo was still there.

"No, no, no, that's impossible! How could this be?"

Chen Qingshan's legs went weak, and he sat down on the ground with a thud, the handcuffs on his hands hitting the ground with a clanging sound.

Li Zaihua's heart skipped a beat, and he panicked.

If this man really dies here, then the director is truly finished.

"Quick, go up and check on them! What happened? Hurry..."

Two police officers were about to go inside!

Suddenly, Lao Mo stretched and sat up.

The two policemen paused, hesitant to approach.

Old Mo pretended to rub his eyes before looking outside.

"Oh, isn't this Director Li? I, Old Mo, am unworthy to have you come to see me!"

"Oh my, isn't this Captain Chen Qingshan? Oh dear, why are you in handcuffs? Haha, it's really a blessing from heaven, haha."

I told you I was going to skin you alive, haha. Even though I didn't actually do it, my dream has come true. Come on, tell me, what happened to you?

Although Old Mo is now unshaven, his words are filled with schadenfreude. It's like he's saying, "You're so angry you won't have to pay for it."

Li Zaihua asked in confusion, "Old Mo, have you been here the whole time these past two days?"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Li Zaihua regretted them. Wasn't that obvious?

Old Mo said speechlessly, "Where else could I go if not here? Didn't your Captain Chen lock me up here?"

Li Zaihua glanced at the food beside him and asked, "You've been here for two days, why haven't you eaten?"
