The Side Character’s Hidden Boss! Chapter 233 – Qiao Qing’s Recollection

Chapter 233: Qiao Qing’s Recollection

Xiao Rui massaged his brow. This Kang Zhi was extremely passive, he wouldn’t volunteer information unless pressed.

“They have checked it, the IP went through many overseas servers so the original IP can’t be tracked. However there was a specific server that caught our attention. It is pin yin of the word, Guan Hwa, or Flower Appraisal.”

Mo Li was startled when she heard that. She tried to rake her mind. The original novel didn’t elaborate much on this organization. However Mo Li did know that her elders would be more familiar with Flower Appraisal. Looks like she would have to find a time to talk to Elder Mo or Elder Lin about it.

“The other party can easily hack into the municipal system to delete traffic surveillance footage, naturally it won’t be easy to track their IP.” Mo Li shared a look with Xiao Rui. The disappeared footage, the source of the poison, the disposal of the corpse, the taunting email… No wonder Xiao Rui’s superior didn’t want them to look any deeper, they were dealing with an international crime organization.

If that is the case… Xiao Rui was suddenly reminded of the strange deaths of his brothers and comrades when they served in the national intelligence agency. A wind blew past and Xiao Rui shivered. What am I thinking, there’s no proof that this is related to that.

Xiao Rui turned to talk to Mo Li but he discovered she had already made a beeline towards Qiao Qing.

“Qiao Qing, there’s something I hope you can clarify for me.” Qiao Qing was surprised that there would come a day when Mo Li would need her. Qiao Qing smiled and bade farewell to Xiao Yue before turning to Mo Li. “We’re sisters. I’m glad to help you if I can.”

“Do you have any idea why Wei Lan go to 22 High School that day?” When Mo Li asked the question, Qiao Qing was stunned. She didn’t expect Mo Li to ask her that.

“Hey, I already told you, it’s not right…” Xiao Rui grabbed Mo Li’s arm. He didn’t want Mo Li to come disturb Qiao Qing about this.

Xiao Xue saw this and she had a bad feeling. Xiao Rui is not the kind to have physical contact with others. But he is now so close to Mo Li. This is rare.

As unwilling as Qiao Qing was, considering the conversation she just had with Xiao Yue, she had to smile. The 3 of them headed to Mo Li’s study. Before Mo Li could go into details, Qiao Qing said directly, “Brother Xiao Rui, I was not in the correct headspace before, it must have caused a big problem to your investigation. But I’ve thought about it, for Sister Wei Lan, I need to tell the truth.”

Xiao Rui was taken aback as he did not expect Qiao Qing to suddenly be so cooperative.

“That day, I was going to be a bookstore but I ran into Sister Wei Lan.” Qiao Qing said seriously. Xiao Rui and Mo Li analyzed as they listened. “We stopped at the milk tea stall in front of 22 High School. I didn’t feel so well that day so I didn’t have any to drink. Sister Wei Lan bought a milk tea for herself. She told me she studied at 22 High School when she was very young. Then she told me to wait for her at the entrance while she ran into the school.”

“And then?” Mo Li was confused. If Wei Lan was last seen running into 22 High School, how did she end up in the busy alley?

“And then I waited and waited. The school was out and I sat down to order a bowl of pig’s blood cake but Sister Wei Lan was nowhere to be seen.” Xiao Rui was surprised to hear that. He thought about telling her the truth but to spare her the trauma, he closed his mouth.

“Then all of a sudden, I received a message. It was Wei Lan telling me to go home first. So I did.” Qiao Qing showed the two the message she got from Wei Lan. Based on the time, it was sent during the school’s last class. It meant that Wei Lan was still alive then.

“While you waited, did you encounter anyone special or suspicious?” The police had checked so many people but they still hadn’t figured out who had poisoned Wei Lan. Xiao Rui looked at Qiao Qing, hoping she could give them an answer.

Qiao Qing thought hard and then shook her head. “We didn’t run into anyone at the gate. Oh wait! Before Sister Wei Lan entered the school, she tossed the packaging of the milk tea straw on the ground. Immediately, the cleaner auntie from the school came to pick it up. Is that considered suspicious?”
