Chapter 610: I'll Be Right at the Door

"Me go out?"

Qu Tuotuo pointed at herself, her face full of disbelief.

"Hurry up," Yu Dazhang said impatiently, waving a hand at her.

He had been busy all day, and having just finished eating, he only wanted to get this over with quickly and go home to sleep properly.

Su Mi also urged from the side:

"Tuotuo, you go out first; he is doing this for work."

Instead of calming her down, this urging made Qu Tuotuo even angrier.

"I'm not leaving," she said with righteous indignation:

"When police interrogate, at least two people must be present. What is he doing here alone? I demand to observe."

Observe? Yu Dazhang laughed in anger.

She knew quite a bit, actually knowing that police cases require two people present.

"Who said I'm here to interrogate?" Yu Dazhang explained:

"Su Mi isn't a suspect; I'm just here to understand the situation. I won't take evidence or make a record."

He felt that today's Qu Tuotuo was a bit strange.

Before, she had been very cooperative with his work, rarely calling during work hours.

Every time there was a case, as long as she knew, she wouldn't come to disturb him.

What was wrong this time?

He had just rescued her best friend; she should have been happy, yet she seemed more worried than before.

"Then..."

Qu Tuotuo still looked a bit uneasy:

"How long will you talk?"

Is that your question to ask... Yu Dazhang answered with patience:

"If it goes fast, it'll be done in a few minutes."

After saying this, he felt something seemed off.

Why was it so awkward?

"Alright then." As Qu Tuotuo left, she didn't forget to turn back and remind:

"I'll be right at the door."

What kind of words are those... Yu Dazhang was utterly baffled by her.

He came to the hospital to understand the victim's situation, which was clearly part of his work, yet now it felt as if he were sneaking around for an affair.

Besides, she knew he and Su Mi couldn't stand each other; why was she being so guarded today?

Even if she was suspicious, she shouldn't suspect us.

With doubts in mind, Yu Dazhang looked at Su Mi:

"What's wrong with her?"

"Nothing," Su Mi smiled:

"Women naturally can't bear seeing their man in a room with another woman, even a best friend."

Makes sense... Yu Dazhang nodded, then took a chair and sat down.

"How many kidnappers were there in total?"

"Six; one died at the unfinished building."

He asked Su Mi the same questions he had asked Bai Jincheng.

After confirming their answers matched, Yu Dazhang asked the final open-ended question:

"Recall what those people talked about; anything you heard, say whatever comes to mind."

He had already asked Bai Jincheng; when the two were at the unfinished building, they were guarded separately.

After all, when two people are together, small tricks are inevitable.

Precisely because their angles and positions differed, the information they heard naturally varied.

"Seems like they didn't say anything special."

As Su Mi spoke, her eyes gradually lost focus, appearing to sink into memory.

Moments later, she slowly came back to her senses, turned to look at Yu Dazhang:

"Two kidnappers who were closer to me whispered for a while by the pillar behind me; I didn't understand their conversation, but I remembered it."

She paused slightly, as if recalling the scene, then continued:

"One asked, 'Where is that place of yours? Let me see if it's close to me.'"

"The other said, 'You kid, stop fishing for information; we all have the same amount, don't covet my share.'"

"That person then said, 'If you get out before me, come visit me in prison; I'll tell you the location then, and you can help me fulfill my filial duties. I trust you.'"

Speaking to this point, she stopped, as if considering whether any information was missed.

After a while, she shook her head and said:

"That's all; afterwards, they all went silent, and not long after, I heard the sound of a lighter igniting."

Frustrated by the talk, lighting a cigarette to vent... Yu Dazhang could roughly guess their state of mind at the time.

It seemed consistent with his earlier deduction; each of them had chosen a hiding place for the gold.
