Chapter 9: Jiang Cheng Fei
The young man remained silent and stooped over on the chair in that dark and humid interrogation room for a long while. Finally, he fearfully lifted his eyes to sneak a glance at the expressionless young officer. After an anxious gulp, he timidly mumbled, “Where’s Officer Y-Ye? I-I want to speak w-with Officer Ye…”
“Officer Ye? Hmph, is it because you think that simple-minded and overly trusting idiot is easier to bully?” Su Mu scoffed from where he sat across the man with arms crossed.
The youth shrank back and hurriedly lowered his gaze without speaking another word.
Su Mu rapped his knuckles against the photos on the table and asked, “Jiang Cheng Fei, you recognise all five of the people circled in red here, don’t you?”
The young man glanced at the photo.
It was a group photo taken in front of a child welfare agency. There was a crowd of children standing in front of the door, all of whom were around five to fifteen years of age. Five of the children had been indicated with red marker.
The youth only needed one look to know who they were. However, he remained silent and merely nodded.
Su Mu pointed at each of the five people in the photo and stated, “Sun Yuan, Xu Ming, Wang Hai Tao, Li Qing, and Gu Xiao Rou. These five had once lived in the same child welfare agency as you, right?”
The youth wordlessly nodded, though his eyes began to shift.
