The sixth continent.
A sleepless night in Hong Kong.
Mu Qingtian has not slept since he learned that Mu Di had a car accident outside. While waiting for the news, he was also investigating the cause of the accident.
The information found was continuously passed in.
"The driver was a 36-year-old orphan with no family members. His adoptive mother died two years ago and he has been living alone ever since. He is a loner and rarely interacts with his neighbors. Neighbors don't know him very well. They only remember that he drove a sports car to make a living, wore a thick hat when going out, had an untidy beard and looked ordinary. He died on the spot after the accident. The forensic doctor took a blood test from him and found no alcohol or drugs..."
"The vehicle involved in the accident was a commercial truck registered under the name of Koala Transport. The legal representative of that company is from Country M. He started doing business from his father's generation and has been in the transportation industry for decades. He has a clean record and has not been found to have any connection with anyone."
"On the day of the accident, a fire broke out in the New York City Police Station, burning the body of Miss Elena stored in the forensic department. Not long after the young master arrived at the police station, Qiao...Qiao Nian and the one from the Tenth Elder's family also arrived at the police station. It is said that the two sides had a verbal dispute, but the young master did not participate. He just had a brief conversation with Qiao Nian and then left unhappily."
"What did they say?" Mu Qingtian's eyes were bloodshot from not getting enough rest, and his expression was calm yet suffocatingly fierce.
The Mu family's secret guard lowered his head solemnly and continued to report mechanically, recreating the conversation between Mu Di and Qiao Nian at the police station one by one.
The dark guard was not a drama actor. He had no talent for acting and was simply parroting Qiao Nian's words. There was no personal emotion mixed in when he repeated them, which made them sound particularly weird.
Mu Qingtian listened expressionlessly, clenched his fingers slightly, his facial muscles twitched, and turned his eyes to look at the secret guard. "She suspects Mu Di did it?"
“…Qiao Nian left the police station first, but the traffic surveillance showed that she did not return to the hotel. Instead, she waited for the young master to come out in the car outside. Later, she followed the young master's car until the young master had a car accident. She got out of the car immediately to check whether the young master was alive.” The secret guard spoke based on the facts.
Mu Qingtian twisted his fingertips quickly, which was the movement he made when he was thinking. It seemed that this could help him analyze things more calmly.
The secret guard just stood there obediently, like a programmed robot. Without the command of his master, he would not get tired, sleepy, or speak.
It took Mu Qingtian a while to remember that there was someone standing here. The vertical wrinkles between his eyebrows were deep and heavy. He raised his hand and signaled the secret guard to leave.
The secret guard obeyed the order and left.
About five minutes later, he walked back to the living room and said to the empty air, "Do you also think it was Qiao Nian who did it?"
A man who looked like an old butler came out of the small room next door, bent over and hunched his back, and answered in a calm and gentle voice: "Based on the current evidence, it does seem to be the case."
"Hmph." Mu Qingtian snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "The current evidence? Don't you think that these evidences are too coincidental? It seems that they are waiting for Mu Di to get into trouble, so that they can rush to put them in front of me and urge me to quickly deal with the 'culprit'! If I hadn't found these linked evidences so quickly, I might really think that it was Qiao Nian who did it, but now I believe that she may have nothing to do with Mu Di's car accident."
