Frightening Joke: Above the Mist

Chapter 140: Chapter 140: Jiang Qiao

Yang Wanlong was immediately choked by Tang Guo’s response.

Tang Guo cautiously glanced at Yang Wanlong’s expression and said, "When he comes back later, you can have Teacher Bai ask the questions. He should cooperate a bit more..."

Everyone looked at Bai Yanliang. He saw nothing strange in it, so he nodded.

Soon, Dai Anyu returned.

"Mr. Dai, do you have any hobbies?" Bai Yanliang suddenly asked.

Dai Anyu, who had just sat down, was stunned for a moment, then said, "Fitness, reading, listening to music, watching movies, occasional travel. Is there anything you want to ask, sir?"

"No," Bai Yanliang shook his head and looked at his desk, "I just noticed that one of the books on your desk is something I’ve read as well."

"Oh, really?"

Dai Anyu’s expression suddenly relaxed a bit, and his gaze towards Bai Yanliang became noticeably friendlier.

Perhaps because of what Tang Guo had mentioned, when everyone observed Dai Anyu this time, they clearly sensed a boldness and interest in his eyes, naturally directed towards Bai Yanliang.

Internally, some felt a bit strange, and some wanted to laugh.

In terms of appearance, both Bai Yanliang and Xu Zhifei stood out among the group. However, Xu Zhifei’s aura was difficult to approach, while Bai Yanliang was much more approachable, with a gentler demeanor. If Dai Anyu was indeed homosexual, then it wouldn’t be surprising for Bai Yanliang to attract him.

Thus, all the responsibility for the questioning fell on Bai Yanliang.

He had already discussed life hobbies and daily routines with Dai Anyu.

"I usually get off work at five. Occasionally, I go to a bar for a drink. Mr. Bai, are you interested?" Dai Anyu asked naturally.

"Sorry, I can’t drink, and my job isn’t a typical nine-to-five. I think it would be difficult for us to have the chance to drink together."

"That’s really a pity."

Seeing this, Dai Anyu wore a disappointed expression directly on his face.

He seemed to lose interest in the conversation, with his body language and facial expressions conveying a send-off vibe.

But Bai Yanliang pretended not to notice. He took a sip of coffee, the strange bitterness making him slightly furrow his brow.

"Mr. Dai, what kind of person is Ai Qing?"

Dai Anyu glanced at Bai Yanliang and sighed, "She’s just that kind of person, young, beautiful, with a good figure, but lacks substance and talent. In short, if it weren’t for her face, she would have been an ordinary person."

That much is true.

Even after Ai Qing was killed, her body naturally exuded an unusual beauty, enough to prove her innate beauty.

Judging from her past boyfriends, they were either very wealthy or as stunning in appearance as she was.

Bai Yanliang noticed that when speaking of Ai Qing, Dai Anyu’s mouth curled down slightly, a subtle sign of disdain.

"But we’ve heard from your colleagues that you had a good relationship with her."

Dai Anyu let out a sarcastic laugh and said, "On the surface, sure, our relationship seemed good, but in today’s society, who plainly wears their dislike for someone on their sleeve?"

"Ah, sorry..." Seemingly realizing he’d said something wrong, he awkwardly laughed, "I suppose only small characters like me do that. You officers clearly are honorable people, unlike someone like me, right?"

Yang Wanlong squinted slightly at Dai Anyu upon hearing this.

Even Yang Wanlong knew, the more Dai Anyu acted like this, the less likely he was lying.

Suddenly, Bai Yanliang stood up, ending the conversation.

"Captain Yang, let’s go."

"Mr. Dai, sorry for the disturbance today."

Bai Yanliang said as they took their leave.

Dai Anyu nodded, somewhat wistfully saying, "No worries. If you’re free, feel free to visit again. I recently got two concert tickets."

Seeing Bai Yanliang speak, Yang Wanlong also stood up, shook hands with Dai Anyu, and, after glancing around the office again, the group left the media building.

"Onto the next place, Jiang Qiao’s residence,"

In the car, Yang Wanlong said to Tang Guo.

Having found Jiang Qiao’s address, the car soon set off again.

"Hey, Bai, you’re quite popular," Gao Fei turned his head and said with a mischievous grin.

Bai Yanliang casually nodded, "Hmm."

"Uh..." Gao Fei didn’t expect Bai Yanliang to admit to being popular. Couldn’t he tell that Gao Fei was teasing?

Bai Yanliang could obviously tell, but his mind was elsewhere.

Just now, during the interrogation with Dai Anyu, Bai Yanliang saw a black shadow!

When Dai Anyu returned from the bathroom, an abnormal black shadow had slipped into his body.

But after that, he noticed nothing unusual, as Dai Anyu’s words and actions remained normal.

A misconception? Bai Yanliang refused to believe it was a misconception because... he noticed Xu Zhifei had been staring eerily at Dai Anyu’s back since he returned from the bathroom.

She saw it too.

"Gao Fei, you’re here to investigate, not to mess around," Yang Wanlong said, sitting beside Gao Fei with a stern look.

Gao Fei immediately turned back around, sitting upright.

Frowning, Bai Yanliang, while everyone was lost in thought, quietly asked Xu Zhifei, "Did you see it?"

"Yes." Xu Zhifei gently nodded.

It wasn’t a misconception after all.

Then, could Dai Anyu be the murderer in this case?

Bai Yanliang felt something was off, yet the twisted shadow in Dai Anyu’s body was an undeniable fact.

Bai Yanliang had seen that thing on suspects more than once, and it seemed that whoever it possessed was the criminal.

While Bai Yanliang pondered, the car came to a stop.

Though they already knew Jiang Qiao was a wealthy second-generation, this level of wealth still exceeded everyone’s expectations.

"Cap... Captain, did we get the address wrong?" The driver, Tang Guo, stammered, unable to speak clearly.

Because the building in front was not a villa or a high-end complex, but a manor.

Undoubtedly, among Ai Qing’s lovers, Jiang Qiao’s family background was the best, and his financial situation was the most favorable.

At that time, Jiang Qiao was deeply in love with her, but Ai Qing was always entangled with her first love, causing Jiang Qiao to become completely disillusioned with her, breaking all ties.

One has to admit, Ai Qing’s standards for choosing a partner were rather puzzling.

Having questioned Jiang Qiao once before, Yang Wanlong had repeatedly confirmed this address with Jiang Qiao himself, so he was certain it was correct.

Just as they were about to contact security to go in, the manor gates opened on their own.

A charismatic young man stood there.

He didn’t seem at all surprised by the arrival of the police.

Jiang Qiao’s gaze swept over everyone, pausing especially on Xu Zhifei for a moment, before saying, "My parents are home, let’s talk outside."

Tang Guo looked to Yang Wanlong for guidance. Yang Wanlong stared directly at him and said solemnly, "Alright."
