Qin He and Gu Qichen walked out of Officer Li's office.
She considered it for a moment before speaking.
"Gu Qichen."
"Mm?" Gu Qichen walked beside Qin He and turned his head.
"Actually, after I dealt with that man holding the crossbow that day, I asked a friend to help me investigate his whereabouts."
Qin He frowned, "The person disappeared into an area in the northern district that is being demolished and is slated for development."
Gu Qichen's eyes narrowed slightly.
There was only one area in the northern district slated for demolition and development, and that project was under the Gu Group.
"I understand," Gu Qichen nodded, his gaze fixed on Qin He. "You don't need to put yourself in danger next time. If evidence is lost, it can be found again."
Qin He felt a pang of hesitation in her heart. This time, it was entirely her fault that Ming Xue and Gu Ranran were implicated.
"After I clashed with that person, I became even more certain that it's the same group of people who were investigating me before."
Qin He's voice was faint as she looked at Gu Qichen.
"But I'm a little confused. Why didn't that group of people act against me, but instead kept targeting people around me?"
She had thought about it carefully over the past two days. If she was already considered a semi-public figure, then that group of people would not dare to act rashly.
That was unlikely.
After all, they were capable of murder.
"You don't need to worry too much about this matter. Focus on your own safety, and I will investigate to find the truth," Gu Qichen said.
Qin He frowned, "No need. I'm telling you this because Ranran was unfortunately implicated because of me."
As they spoke, they had already reached the corridor of the detention center.
Gu Qichen's gaze was gentle, "Qin He, Grandmother often mentions you lately."
Mentioning Grandma Gu, Qin He fell completely silent.
It had been almost half a year since they returned from Haicheng.
During this half-year, she had never visited Grandma Gu.
Whether before or after recovering her memories, in her memory, Grandma Gu was always so kind and gentle to her.
Even when the Gu family looked down on her, Grandma Gu was the only one who stood up for her.
Qin He felt a deep ache in her heart. Grandma Gu now had Alzheimer's disease, but even so, Grandma Gu only recognized her when she had an episode.
Qin He took a deep breath and said softly, "I will visit her when I have time."
As they spoke, they stopped in front of Ming Xue's detention cell.
Qin He nodded, "Goodbye."
Gu Qichen had also wanted to visit Ming Xue, but seeing Qin He's reaction, it was clear she didn't want to spend too much time with him.
He pursed his lips and turned towards the corner of the corridor, where Gu Ranran's detention cell was located.
Qin He stood in front of the detention cell and looked at Ming Xue, who was sleeping on the single bed inside.
"Xue'er, wake up."
The person lying on the single bed stirred. Ming Xue sat up and saw Qin He at the door.
"Sister, you're here!" She ran over excitedly.
Qin He smiled, "Yes."
Ming Xue's eyes were still red. "Sister, have you found the murderer of Ming Jun?"
Qin He sighed inwardly. Every time she visited Ming Xue, the first question Ming Xue asked was not about whether she could be released.
Xiang Mingjun was Ming Xue's first love, but he died because of her.
Fearing Ming Xue's sadness, Qin He smiled throughout their conversation, trying to lighten the atmosphere.
"Don't worry, there's been a lot of progress recently, and you might be out soon."
"And the killer of Ming Jun?" Ming Xue pressed.
"A witness has been found, and the killer's appearance is known. Arresting them will be much faster," Qin He smiled.
After talking with Ming Xue, Qin He walked out of the detention building.
She didn't say goodbye to Gu Qichen. Upon reaching the police station's courtyard, she directly started her car, preparing to return to the Qin family.
Qin He's heart was filled with complex emotions. Every time she saw Gu Qichen recently, her heart felt a mixture of fluttering and pain.
But fortunately, it was much better than when she had just recovered her memories.
Upon returning to the Qin family, Qin He informed Ming Yusheng and Fang Meiyan that they could now visit Ming Xue all day.
"And the knife that was originally evidence might now be a fake. As long as we can prove that knife is problematic, Xue'er and Gu Ranran should be released soon," Qin He said with a smile.
Fang Meiyan sat in the living room, tears welling up as she listened to Qin He.
Ming Yusheng sighed, "He'er, we owe this all to you this time!"
From Ming Xue's birth, Qin Yun and Qin He had been working tirelessly on this matter.
Ming Yusheng had even put aside the Ming Group and rushed back from Haicheng.
Qin He comforted Fang Meiyan for a while.
Fang Meiyan's tears turned into a smile.
"Alright, He'er, you've been working too hard for Xue'er's matter. Go upstairs and get some rest."
"What about you, Auntie?"
"I need to go see Xue'er." Fang Meiyan was enthusiastic. She had wanted to visit Ming Xue every day anyway.
Her own daughter had been so slandered and was being held alone in the detention center.
Fang Meiyan couldn't even sleep on the floor with her, but due to the police's visiting hours, she couldn't stay there all the time.
But now that Qin He said the visiting hours were not restricted, she couldn't wait to rush to her daughter's side.
Qin He looked at Ming Yuzhu, who was sitting on the sofa beside her. Ming Yuzhu also had a look of relief on her face.
"Go and rest."
Qin He returned to the bedroom on the second floor and opened her laptop.
She sent the photos of the two suspects that Gu Qichen had sent her today to Mo.
Qing Xie: [Mo, these are portraits of the murderers. Can you help me investigate these two people's backgrounds?]
Mo: [Okay.]
In the group chat, Di Shishi popped up.
Di Shishi: [@Qing Xie, I've returned to Qingcheng. Is there anything you need me to do?]
Qin He thought for a moment. Recently, there really wasn't anything she needed Di Shishi to do.
In just a few days, she and Gu Qichen had cleared the names of Ming Xue and Gu Ranran.
As for the two murderers, they were currently on the run.
Those two were extremely dangerous, and until their backgrounds were clear, Qin He did not dare to let Di Shishi go looking for them.
However, when she was in trouble, her friends from Qingyan Mansion had all appeared to help immediately, which made Qin He feel warmth in her heart.
Qing Xie: [The matter is basically resolved. Why don't you go and stay in the medical building for a while? These people might cause more trouble.]
Qin He frowned deeply.
Previously, those people had caused her and her brother to have several car accidents and sent people to infiltrate the Qin family.
But this time, they had set their sights on Ming Xue and directly committed murder.
Qin He took out the Wan Fang Lun and stared at it.
"What secret are you hiding?" she murmured, staring at the Wan Fang Lun.
Qin He's expression was solemn. Since things had reached this point, she could no longer allow people around her to be in danger because of a book.
