The moment the words left his mouth, the strange look in Jade's eyes vanished in an instant.

Then, Jade coughed lightly.

In a casual tone, he chatted with Edward and Specks about things unrelated to the case:

"Gentlemen, what do you think of the scenery here?"

As he spoke, Jade asked excitedly:

"Oh, by the way, did you go check on Abbey?"

The scenery over there is even better! Absolutely gorgeous!

Upon hearing the other party mention Abikri,

Edward, who already liked the place, quickly smiled and nodded.

He loudly echoed Jade:

"Of course I went!"

Edward, lost in reverie, recalled the scenery and murmured:

"The scenery there is really beautiful, and it's well worth a visit."

Yes, that's right.

Speks, who had never been there, didn't understand what the two were talking about.

But he still stood aside, awkwardly smiling and agreeing.

Upon hearing this, Jade gave Edward and Specks a thumbs up:

"You have good taste, brother. That place is definitely worth a visit."

Jade chuckled and raised an eyebrow at the two of them.

Then his expression changed instantly, and he suddenly asked in a worried whisper:

"But you didn't encounter any trouble on the way, did you?"

Things have been a bit chaotic over there lately.

There are always some extremists committing crimes there!

Edward and Specks, who had been all smiles,

Upon hearing this, they were slightly taken aback, and subconsciously exchanged a glance.

For a moment, their expressions became somewhat stiff.

Although those four people deserved to die.

But I still can't mention this to the police.

Even someone as righteous as Batman can be wanted by the police.

Thinking of this, Edward's voice stammered slightly:

"No...no, right? Yeah, no!"

We didn't stop much along the way and didn't encounter any danger.

"That's right, so are we."

Speks, who was standing to the side, quickly nodded and echoed the sentiment.

After hearing their responses,

Jade glanced at their expressions without making a sound.

He had already made up his mind, and he muttered to himself:

"There's no mistake, it must have been these people who did this!"

Just as Jade was gritting his teeth,

Li Yuan and his group helped the rescued woman.

They came out of the basement together.

When Li Yuan saw the policeman standing at the basement door, he subconsciously said:

"This officer arrived very quickly; we just called the police not long ago, right?"

Jade chuckled softly upon hearing this.

In a calm tone, he repeated the lie he had just told:

"I happened to be nearby, so I came first. The others will be here soon."

As he spoke, Jade looked at the other people in the room.

He smiled apologetically.

"Although it's getting late, we still need to trouble everyone to cooperate with us in taking a statement."

When everyone heard Jade's request,

They all nodded, indicating that they could cooperate with the work.

Li Yuan sighed and muttered to himself:

"It seems we'll have to stay here for the night no matter what."

Li Yuan originally intended to cooperate with Iris to enter the spirit world and deal with that demon.

I had no choice but to abandon that idea and decide to deal with it tomorrow.

Jade kept glancing at the people in the room, seemingly plotting something.

Ellis, who was suspected to be from the same hometown as Jade, went up and chatted with Jade for a few minutes.

Having left Five Keys Town at the age of 16, she didn't know anyone here.

After exchanging a few casual pleasantries, the room returned to silence.

This silence lasted for about 10 minutes.

Two police cars with sirens blaring pulled up one after the other on the lawn in front of the Ellis family’s old house.

Seeing his companion finally arrive, Jade quickly got up and hurried out of the house to greet him.

And the two colleagues who had just gotten out of the car

Upon seeing Jade, they all showed expressions of surprise.

Jade slowly approached the two men and whispered a few words to his colleagues.

Soon, the two officers who arrived later were slightly taken aback.

He then nodded slightly at Jade.

Then he took a step and walked towards the old house.

At this moment, Li Yuan and Edward were both sitting on the sofa.

They were texting their respective women and didn't notice what was happening.

Although Lu noticed what was happening outside the house, he didn't pay any attention to it.

After all, Lu believed himself to be a helpful bystander who had helped catch the criminals.

How could the police possibly suspect me?

Soon, the police officers walked into the living room.

First, he had his companion take the rescued woman into the police car.

Then, he looked at the people sitting and resting in the living room.

He cleared his throat and said in a deep voice:

Everyone, I'm so sorry.

There weren't enough seats in the police cars that arrived, so you and the prisoners will have to squeeze into the prison van.

Iris was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

He then smiled and shook his head, saying to the police officer:

"No need, officer, we all drove here."

"Just follow behind your police car to the police station."

However, what was unexpected was...

After hearing this reasonable suggestion, the police officer...

He actually frowned and directly rejected Ellis's suggestion.

And he threatened in a very serious tone:

No! Madam!

I think you'd better get in a police car.

It would be better if you came back to the police station with us!

Otherwise, there might be some things that are difficult to explain.

Ellis looked bewildered by the police officer's unreasonable demands.

She looked at the police officer and asked in confusion:

"What are you talking about? What's so inexplicable?"

She pointed to Ghazal, who was bound on the ground, and raised her voice to ask:

"Isn't the situation of the whole case clear enough now?"

Upon hearing this, the police officer's face immediately showed a hint of impatience.

He gripped the duty belt around his waist and said in a deep voice:

"Madam, I hope you can calm down."

I don't want your emotional outburst to lead me to make any bad assumptions.

Ellis opened her mouth in astonishment, not knowing what was going on.

I'm clearly a good person, so why am I being harassed like this?

Li Yuan, who was sending a text message, also frowned slightly.

He slowly raised his head, looking at the police officer standing in front of the crowd with a puzzled expression.

He questioned in a somewhat dissatisfied tone:

"Officer, have you misunderstood something?"

We were merely the people who reported the crime and eyewitnesses.

I was just cooperating with you in taking statements in the past.

You don't mean to treat us all as suspects, do you?

As Li Yuan finished speaking, the gazes of everyone else in the room shifted.

They all turned to the police officer.

The Hell Detective, held in Li Yuan's arms.

He even glared menacingly at the police officers and breathed on them.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room became somewhat subtle.
