<strong>Chapter 1085: Chapter 1077: Just Talking</strong>


    Upon hearing this, Xiao Yifei quickly shook his head. Since Muyun had said so, Xiao Yifei had no choice but to tuck the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle into his own chest. Seeing this, Muyun finallyughed heartily. To be honest, one must admit that Muyun’s eloquent words left Xiao Yifei somewhat in awe.


    It seems that Muyun truly has the qualities of a leader, Xiao Yifei thought to himself, and smiled back at Muyun. At this moment, those who had previously gone to seize Xiao Wushuang also escorted Xiao Wushuang out. At this time, Xiao Wushuang was still unconscious, so he had to be supported by two of them.


    However, Xiao Shuang’s external injuries were mostly healed thanks to the herbal medicine applied by Xiao Yifei. Seeing Xiao Wushuang being taken out, Muyun also said to Xiao Yifei, “Mr. Xiao, since everything is settled, I won’t stay any longer. Please make sure to visit me at my residence when you are free—no need to rush, a meal awaits.”


    Hearing this, Xiao Yifei nodded, “Definitely.” Muyun smiled, gestured to the others, and left with Xiao Wushuang. Watching Muyun’s departing figure, Xiao Yifei also touched the box in his pocket, thinking unexpectedly about those Green-eyed Silver-tail Needles and sighed deeply.


    Xiao Yifei often used to hear his grandfather say that good and evil are always rewarded, a saying deeply ingrained in his mind. Reflecting on everything that had happened recently, Xiao Yifei finally realized that this saying was not mere words.


    In the center of the Beijing police station, numerousrge and small cases were being solved, and many criminals were sent there. On this day, another individual was brought to the interrogation room for unknown reasons. Normally, such events should bemonce.


    But this time was different because the City Lord of Beijing, Mu Feng, was following that person. As he saw the person enter the interrogation room, he didn’t follow in. Everyone who witnessed this couldn’t help but specte whether this person was backed by Mu Feng, yet they were mistaken.


    Mu Feng sternly instructed the interrogators, “Make sure to get everything clear, and when necessary, you can be tough.” It was the first time the interrogators had heard such a demand. Although he found it somewhat inhumane, he had no choice but toply since it was Mu Feng’s requirement.


    “Hey, who is this person, making City Lord Mue in person?” a woman in police uniform asked her colleague. Hearing this, the colleague scratched his head, pondered for a moment, and replied, “I’m not sure, seems like it’s someone named Xiao Wushuang, but who knows why he incurred the City Lord’s wrath.”


    If Xiao Yifei were present, he might understand the situation. The day Muyun took Xiao Wushuang away and sent him to the police station, Mu Feng still couldn’t rest easy, fearing that the people would be too lenient on Xiao Wushuang, which is why he was here. The woman who had just asked the question was someone Xiao Yifei knew, Hua Xiangrong, whom he hadn’t seen for a long time.


    “So that’s how it is, but being able to offend the City Lord is quite impressive,” Hua Xiangrong joked with her colleague. Hearing Hua Xiangrong’s words, the colleague found it amusing and chuckled, then suddenly remembered something and said, “Oh, Xiangrong, they just caught a thief upstairs, and it seems they want you to interrogate him.”


    Hearing this, Hua Xiangrong nodded, put away her yful demeanor, and went to work. She entered another interrogation room, where the apprehended criminal was already seated, visibly ill at ease like anyone in such a situation. Seeing this, Hua Xiangrong firstforted the person, then urged him to confess honestly, using some of the usual tactics.


    The thief seemed genuinely scared of the ce, so when Hua Xiangrong told him to confess honestly, he nodded vigorously without hesitation. Seeing such apliant criminal, Hua Xiangrong felt relieved, as such individuals were typically the easiest to interrogate.


    Thus, the interrogation slowly began. As usual, Hua Xiangrong first asked for the criminal’s name and other general details. After that, she inquired about the motive behind his crime. When asked about his motive, the criminal appeared a bit upset, talking about needing money and painting himself as a very pitiable person.


    Having encountered many such cases before, Hua Xiangrong was unfazed. Instead, she said calmly, “Don’t try to act pitiful in front of me. No adversity justifies your theft. Wrong is wrong.”


    Hearing this, the criminal was at a loss for words, feeling greatly ashamed and avoided Hua Xiangrong’s gaze. Seeing his reaction, Hua Xiangrong took the opportunity to ask what exactly it was he had stolen.


    “A needle?” Hearing the criminal’s response, Hua Xiangrong found it quite amusing, thinking the criminal must be joking. Even if one must steal, at least take something valuable. Who steals a needle? Pondering this, Hua Xiangrong looked at him skeptically, clearly not believing his words.


    Seeing Hua Xiangrong’s doubtful expression, the criminal felt a bit desperate, “Officer, you have to believe me. I really only stole a needle.” The man seemed on the verge of tears. Seeing he wasn’t lying, Hua Xiangrong frowned and then nodded for him to continue.


    Seeing this, the criminal quickly exined, “It was like this: I originally intended to steal the person’s wallet, but identally brought along a box. Thinking that since it was boxed, it must be valuable, I took it. Who knew that inside, there was only a needle?” he said, even finding it amusing himself.


    After hearing the exnation, Hua Xiangrong suddenly remembered what Xiao Yifei had once told her—about the needle being stolen. Now, with someone admitting to stealing a needle, could it be?


    Thinking of this, Hua Xiangrong suddenly became serious, her beautiful eyes fixed on the criminal. Seeing her stern look, the criminal broke into a cold sweat, thinking he had said something wrong and quickly moved to apologize. But before he could, Hua Xiangrong asked first, “Do you remember the appearance of the victim?” Hua Xiangrong frowned, wanting to confirm her suspicion.


    Hearing this, the criminal paused, realizing he hadn’t said anything wrong. He proceeded to describe the victim in detail. As he described, Hua Xiangrong suddenly realized the person he was talking about was none other than Xiao Yifei, especially the part about a man looking so handsome, she immediately confirmed it was him.


    Never did Hua Xiangrong expect that the clue Xiao Yifei was searching for hadnded right in the police station. She smiled and eagerly asked about the whereabouts of the silver needle.


    However, things wouldn’t be so smooth, for the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle the thief had stolen had already been sold, “What?” Upon hearing this, Hua Xiangrong mmed the table in anger. The thief jumped in shock, feeling fear.


    Originally hoping to help Xiao Yifei recover his item, Hua Xiangrong was upset it had been sold. After a moment of suppressing her anger, she asked, “Who did you sell it to?”
