Chapter 146: Interrogating the Suspect
Mo Li could tell from the voice that it was Quan Yu who spoke. She rejected him directly, “I do mind.”
Quan Yu did not take what Mo Li said to heart at all and shrugged his shoulders. “I knew you would say that, so I have a question for you. This cafeteria is so big, why do you think I have to sit beside you?”
When Lu Xuan heard this, he almost choked on his food.

Lu Xuan almost spat out the rice.?Did those words really just come out from Quan Yu’s mouth? The terror from Beijing?
Ah Si who sat at the same table said nothing. He was already completely immune to things like this. His aloof and terrifying Young Master Quan would always turn into this cheeky young man whenever he was around Miss Mo Li.
After finishing the meal with Quan Yu’s constant harassment, Mo Li returned to the lab to compare the wounds on the first two victims to the knife found at the homeless man’s home. The knife was indeed the weapon that delivered the wounds on their bodies.
Quan Yu frowned. No matter how weakened Jiang Li was, his people would not be overpowered and imprisoned by a homeless man so easily.
After receiving the analysis report Mo Li gave him, Quan Yu, Ah Si went to interrogate the homeless man. When Ah Si handed the man to the police, he pulled some strings inside the force to have them investigate the homeless man’s background.
When they entered the interrogation room, they had already verified the homeless man’s name, ID registration, and other basic information. There was nothing too special about the man. He just moved to Pearl River from another province.
He has no job and survived on other people’s charity. He has not received any large amount of money recently either.
?Quan Yu felt like things did not add up, so he started the interrogation with the basics. “Where were you between 8:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. on the 20th of June?”Perhaps it was intentional or it was not, the homeless man’s eyes were very unfocused. Thankfully he was still coherent enough to answer the question, “Hell would I know. I can’t even tell you what day it is today. I don’t even know why I’m here.”
Mo Li glanced at the homeless man. She tended to agree with him. When one had to focus more on filling the stomach, keeping track of time wasn’t that important. Furthermore, the homeless man had no obligations to attend to, he had no work and no school, so he didn’t need to know the time.
The homeless man picked his nose and dug out a piece of bogger. Then he rolled it into a ball and started to play with it.

Hearing that question, the homeless man laughed as he turned to Quan Yu. “Of course, I picked it up from the street. Do you think I could have bought it from a store?!”
Ah Si frowned at the man. Clearly he was not taking this interrogation seriously. Ah Si slammed on the table heavily. “You better behave yourself!” One mustn’t be too lenient with such individual. Maybe a little smack here and there could get him to cooperate more.
The homeless man shrugged and then studied the ball of booger between his fingers. Then he tossed it into his mouth!
“I’m not lying to you. I really did pick it up. It was left at the river bank near where I live.
“Before you ask, no, I have no idea whose it was. I only thought it was quite sharp so I brought it home. I can protect myself with it and cut some food when necessary.”
Ah Si growled, “You really don’t know the two women on the pictures I’ve shown you? Were you the one who killed them?”
To everyone’s surprise, the homeless man answered straightforwardly, “I’ve seen both of them, but I didn’t kill anyone because when I arrived, they were already dead.”
