Quan Shaoteng laughed, "Miss Chi, solving a case can't rely on guessing, and you certainly can't just blurt out accusations, people could sue you for defamation. Do you have any evidence?"
"… No."
She shut up.
Then she felt a bit defiant again.
"Didn't you ask me? I can't deceive the police, can I? To honestly express my thoughts is also a way to cooperate with the investigation."
The rhetorical question was effective. Quan Shaoteng was taken aback, and then burst into hearty laughter. "That makes sense. Unfortunately, it's no use."
"…"
Chi Yue had initially thought Quan Shaoteng was planning to secretly take her to see Qiao Dongyang alone, but upon arriving at the hospital, she discovered Ding Yifan and another officer she didn't recognize waiting downstairs. They brought some office supplies and were carrying computer bags, clearly there on official business.
Chi Yue panicked a little. "Leader Quan? What are you here for?"
"Investigating."
"And me?"
"Assisting."
"… Oh."
