Chapter 268: The Butterfly is Caught
The fake Cui'er looked at Su Ci with sarcasm and provocation in her eyes, as if saying, "If I don't tell you, what can you do to me?"
However, within ten breaths, her expression turned into fear and despair.
Fake Cui'er only felt that her whole body was becoming more and more itchy and painful, and the itchiness and pain gradually penetrated deeper, as if even her internal organs began to itch and hurt.
This feeling reminded her of opium.
She would wholeheartedly help Hua Hudie, not only because she loved him, but also because she was controlled by Afurong.
She thought that no punishment in the world could compare to the effects of opium, so she was confident that she could survive the interrogation.
As long as Hua Hudie didn't receive her message, he would definitely know that the operation had failed and then come to rescue her.
She had already prepared a retreat for herself, so she wasn't panicked at all when she was caught.
But now, she realized that she was still too naive. The methods of these gangsters were beyond her imagination.
The fake Cui'er tried to scratch her body frantically to relieve the itching pain that gnawed at her bones, but she was frozen and could do nothing.
She could only hold it in, her eyes bloodshot, tears mixed with sweat flowing down, and a muffled groan came from her throat.
Seeing that it was almost time, Su Ci sent several bursts of energy towards her, relieving her itching and pain and unblocking her acupuncture points at the same time.
The fake Cui'er collapsed to the ground instantly, slowly curled up, and gasped for breath.
Su Ci sat on the chair calmly and asked, "How is it? Now can you tell me where the butterfly is hiding? Tell me everything you know."
"I said...I...said." The fake Cui'er spoke intermittently with a trembling voice.
"He...he is hiding now...in the prefect's house...I will...scout the place for him tonight. Then, I will go to Li's to buy something tomorrow morning...and then pass on the news. In the evening...he will come to pick people up again."
"Butterfly can't be in the prefect's house! You're lying!"
Suddenly there was an angry shout from inside the house.
Su Ci turned his head and looked towards the door. It turned out that it was Yang Yunchun who came over.
Su Ci asked in surprise: "Why is Lord Yang here?"
Li Lianhua: "The people from the Supervisory Office who were guarding outside the house noticed something was wrong and went to ask Brother Yang to come over."
Yang Yunchun nodded to Su Ci and stared at the fake Cui'er with an unpleasant expression.
Fake Cui'er shrank back and turned her head away, not daring to look Yang Yunchun in the eye. "Sir, I didn't lie. He is really in the prefect's house."
Li Lianhua looked at the fake Cui'er thoughtfully, rubbing her fingers subconsciously.
Su Ci frowned, "Master Yang, why are you so sure that Hua Hudie is not with the prefect? This fake Cui'er can change her appearance, maybe she helped Hua Hudie change his appearance, so he can hide in the prefect's house."
Yang Yunchun explained: "Doctor Su, you don't know that the governor of Yuezhou is a close friend of my biological father. During my time in Yuezhou, I stayed in his house for part of the time.
Moreover, the prefect's house has been checked three times, so I said that Hua Hudie could not be in the prefect's house."
Su Ci glanced at the fake Cui'er with a half-smile, "It seems that Miss Cui'er is a masochist and likes to be abused. How about experiencing the taste of the life and death talisman again?"
Li Lianhua: "Aci, Brother Yang, she probably didn't lie, she just concealed a part.
For example, the butterfly is indeed hiding in the prefect's house, but where this "house" refers to is another matter.
Perhaps it refers to the other courtyard, or perhaps it refers to the manor house in the suburbs."
When fake Cui'er heard this, her face turned pale.
She knew she couldn't hide it anymore, so she begged for mercy immediately: "I know I'm wrong, please forgive me. Please, the butterfly is... is hiding in the manor in the eastern suburbs of the prefecture."
She concealed Hua Hudie's whereabouts just to save her own life. As long as Hua Hudie was not caught, she would still be useful and would not die.
But now, she would rather die than let her friend die, so she can only feel sorry for Hua Hudie.
Su Ci's eyes lit up, and he looked at Li Lianhua with admiration: "Lianhua, you are amazing. You really are hiding in the manor."
Li Lianhua smiled and looked at Yang Yunchun: "Brother Yang, it's up to you from now on."
Yang Yunchun clasped his fists and bowed: "Thank you both for your help. You can take a rest first, and I will take care of the rest. Goodbye."
After saying that, he dragged the fake Cui'er out of the room like a dead dog.
The next day, the government issued an announcement to inform the people that the murderer who raped and killed the woman had been arrested.
However, after catching the butterfly, Yang Yunchun's face turned ugly.
