Chapter 2002: The Culprit: Arrest
If that’s indeed the case, then the answers Ling Muyan gave while under hypnosis last time might also be questionable.
For instance, denying that she ever liked Xu Changqing.
Suspecting Ling Muyan to be a hypnotist, today when meeting Ling Muyan, Gu Zhiqi did not hypnotize her.
Instead, while Ling Muyan was fully conscious, she gave her psychological suggestions.
Gu Zhiqi deliberately chose the Heartless Path that interested her, making her unconsciously lower her guard, and then used her obsession with the Heartless Path to trigger her emotional fluctuations.
In the state of emotional fluctuation, it’s easy to speak without thinking.
And Ling Muyan’s remark "can’t comprehend" was said in such an emotionally unstable moment.
It was also that remark that made Gu Zhiqi confirm that Ling Muyan had once been moved.
And the object of her affection should be Xu Changqing, but Gu Zhiqi wasn’t completely sure about that yet.
Thinking about this, Gu Zhiqi paused the surveillance footage in the Dark Prison.
After typing a few keys, the footage of the Great Elder visiting Xiao Yixue twice in the Dark Prison appeared on the screen.
Seeing the footage, Su Yunling, sitting beside her, immediately said, "Not the same person."
Gu Zhiqi nodded, "I’ve met Elder Seo, the first one should be him, the second one is an impersonator."
Simply put, the surveillance is too far from the Dark Prison where Xiao Yixue is, making it hard to see the two’s lips, or else lip-reading could reveal their conversation.
Thinking about this, Gu Zhiqi continued typing on the keyboard.
Several consecutive videos appeared on the computer, capturing the fake Elder Seo after leaving the Law Enforcement Hall.
After arriving at the Immortal Medical Alliance, the person disappeared in a blind spot of the surveillance.
Not long after the disappearance, the surrounding surveillance captured Ling Muyan.
Before this, Ling Muyan’s figure hadn’t appeared in any surveillance video, until the fake Elder Seo disappeared and Ling Muyan emerged.
Su Yunling also finished watching the surveillance footage.
In this way, it’s almost certain that the murderer is Ling Muyan.
After closing the surveillance, Gu Zhiqi turned to look at Su Yunling and asked, "With this, can we make the arrest?"
Su Yunling nodded, "We can."
After speaking, she began to send messages.
Seeing this, Gu Zhiqi asked Su Yunling, "Are you going to send someone to arrest her now?"
Su Yunling nodded.
Gu Zhiqi: "I want to go too."
Ling Muyan is not only an ancient martial artist but also a poison master, and might be capable of hypnosis, possibly having other talisman papers at hand.
Just in case, it would be safer for her to personally go along.
Hearing this, Su Yunling nodded in agreement and stood up, "Let’s go, together."
Thus, the two of them, along with a few others, drove towards the Immortal Medical Alliance.
An hour later, the Law Enforcement Hall’s convoy arrived at the Immortal Medical Alliance, only to find that Ling Muyan was not in her courtyard.
The guards said she went to the Immortal Medical Alliance’s shrine to pay respects to the Third Elder.
So, the people from the Law Enforcement Hall went straight to the shrine.
Outsiders are not allowed to enter the shrine of the Immortal Medical Alliance.
Hence, Su Yunling and Gu Zhiqi had to wait outside with their people to prevent Ling Muyan from escaping, also asking the Law Enforcement Hall’s people to surround the shrine.
Upon hearing the Law Enforcement Hall’s intent to arrest someone, Ling Yilin hurried over immediately.
Seeing Su Yunling and Gu Zhiqi, Ling Yilin’s expression was very complicated.
"Junior Sister Muyan, she..." stopping mid-sentence, Ling Yilin wasn’t sure how to continue, "I’ll go in and take a look."
