Chapter 1897 Let Them Confess
After waiting for a long time, Yang Afu was not beaten again, and he couldn't help feeling confused.
"You...you are not one of them? Then who are you? How were you captured? Do you know their identities?"
Yang Afu asked all the questions in his mind at once. He didn't know that the person in front of him was Amir, nor did he know that Amir was immersed in shock and couldn't recover for a long time.
A series of questions brought Amir back to her senses. She stared at Yang Afu with a trace of hatred in her eyes. After a long silence, she suppressed the resentment in her heart.
"I was just about to ask you these questions." Amir said in a low voice. Yang Afu was blindfolded and could neither see nor hear her voice.
Seeing that he didn't recognize him, Amir endured the pain in his body and moved towards Yang Afu little by little.
Her hands were tied up again, making it difficult for her to move. She finally managed to get close to Yang Afu, but unexpectedly the man retreated and subconsciously avoided her.
"You, what are you doing?"
"Don't move, idiot." Amir scolded, and Yang Afu really didn't dare to move. She half-knelt on the ground, moved forward, and with difficulty bit off the cloth covering Yang Afu's eyes with her mouth.
When the cloth strip was torn off, Yang Afu was able to see the light again and subconsciously closed his eyes.
When he got used to the light, he opened his eyes and saw Amir. He quickly shrank back in fear: "Amir, why are you here again?"
"You, you, you arrested me?"
Yang Afu's voice trembled and he was a little scared. Because of the grudges of the past, Yang Afu knew that Amir hated him and wanted to kill him.
But Amir just rolled his eyes and moved away from him: "Idiot."
"If you have eyes, you will know that I was kidnapped. Let me ask you, what happened in Qingcheng, and who are those people?"
Amir questioned coldly. She was talking about the corpse leading the way, but Yang Afu didn't know that and would think that Amir knew that he had informed on her, so he hurried to explain.
"I don't know. Those people threatened me. They beat me and were very vicious. They insisted on finding out the whereabouts of the treasure. Qingcheng was just something I made up." Yang Afu curled his lips and turned his head away.
"How would I know these things would happen..." As he spoke, his nose moved and he suddenly smelled a bloody scent. Yang Afu followed the smell to find the blood.
When his eyes fell on Amir's severed finger, his face changed drastically and he stammered, "You your your finger, those people were so bold that they dared to cut off your finger!"
Since being caught, Amir has calmed down. Looking at her hands that are no longer bleeding, she fell into deep thought, her lips trembling.
"It's not a bad thing. Those people didn't kill us, which means we are still useful. We are safe for the time being."
"But if your injury cannot be cured..."
Yang Afu wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Amir's rolling eyes: "Why, you still don't want me to get hurt? Then why didn't you show any mercy when you killed my brother?"
She sneered, not caring about the current situation and not giving any face at all.
Being scolded by her, Yang Afu's face was not good either, and he said sarcastically: "Haha, you really deserve it. You have such a bad temper. If you fall into my hands, I will also cut off your fingers."
"You'll never catch me in your next life."
The two began to confront each other again, and they were incompatible.
The quarrel did not last long. The cabin was opened and the ghost-faced man came back. Seeing that the two had recognized each other, he sneered: "Haha, you two can still live together peacefully like this?"
"Amir, have you forgotten your brother's revenge? Yang Afu, have you also forgotten who massacred the Wuming Village?"
His tone was sarcastic, and he even laughed out loud after he finished speaking. His words made the two tied people look very unhappy. They looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.
He never expected that the Ghost-Faced Man actually knew the relationship between them.
Suddenly thinking of something, Amir's eyes fixed and he stared at the ghost-faced man: "You know my brother, is my brother's death related to you?"
Seeing the anger in Amir's eyes, the man chuckled but did not answer her question, speaking nonchalantly.
"This is not something you should ask about right now, but I am kind-hearted. Once our plan is completed, I will tell you the truth and let you die with a clear conscience."
"asshole!"
Amir was enraged and cursed angrily, and even wanted to stand up and hit him, but she was unable to move, and the man dodged easily and laughed.
He didn't care what the two people in the room thought and walked out swaggeringly.
At this moment, Qingcheng.
In the restaurant, the prefect sent people to search everywhere in the restaurant carefully, but apart from the people who were originally in the restaurant, no trace of anyone else was found.
"Sir, we searched the entire restaurant and found nothing unusual."
"The only abnormality in the entire scene is the two people who are still alive. Sir, perhaps the murderer is those two..."
The officer tried to speak, but was glared back by the governor.
He knew the identities of Chen Changli and Wan Shufang, and he did not want to offend these two people unless it was absolutely necessary.
"If there is nothing in the restaurant, let's check other places first. Qingcheng is so big, I don't believe that the murderer can leave no clues at all."
"Yes, my lord."
The prefect waved his hand impatiently, sent the soldiers away, and returned home.
After a long investigation, the government office did not find anything. The people whose family members were killed blocked the gate of the government office every day, waiting for justice.
As the results were still far from being seen, those people could no longer wait and started making a scene at the gate of the government office, causing unrest in the entire prefectural government.
"Please show mercy, sir, and severely punish the murderer!"
"The murderer is in the government office. There is no need to investigate at all."
"Please punish the murderer severely!"
Outside the government office, more and more voices were clamoring for the governor to severely punish Chen Changli and Wan Shufang.
Listening to the deafening sound of condemnation, the governor covered his ears and said, "What a trouble! I have to go meet those two people."
He narrowed his eyes, but could not find anything. The case had made no progress, and the people were clamoring for an explanation. The responsibility could only be borne by Chen Changli and Wan Shufang.
Late at night, the prefect came to the cell.
The moment they saw him, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang stood up with unhappy looks on their faces.
"Your Excellency the Governor is really hard to meet." After being treated coldly for a long time, Chen Changli felt angry and his tone was not good.
"Master Chen, don't be angry yet. The current situation is not the time to be angry." The prefect sighed and told the two of them about the progress of the investigation.
"The people are making a big fuss. Based on the evidence now, the murderer can only be you. Why don't you just plead guilty?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang's faces changed drastically. They didn't expect that after waiting for so many days, they would get this result.
Make them plead guilty?
"Sir Governor, we are really not the murderer. Please give us some time and let us go out. We will investigate this matter ourselves."
