Chapter 136 Nangong Mengli's Acting Skills
There was no expression on Nangong Mengli's cold face, and she nodded calmly.
Mu Lingxi raised her eyebrows and picked up the information on the table: "Murong Mengli, 23 years old, birthday is September 17th. Her mother, Wang Cuiping, was once a slave bought by the Murong family from a human trafficker. Is the above information true?"
Nangong Mengli's expression remained unchanged, "It's true."
Mu Lingxi casually threw the information on the table, leaned forward slightly, and her sharp eyes fell on Nangong Mengli as if piercing the darkness.
"According to the evidence I have, Murong Zhuo doesn't seem to be kind to you. There are even some rumors that your mother died indirectly at his hands. This makes me very curious. None of your brothers and sisters have the courage. Come forward, how dare you stand up for Murong Zhuo? "
Nangong Mengli raised her eyes slightly and met those sharp eyes. She pondered for a moment and finally said slowly: "That's not a rumor. My mother died because of him."
"Oh?" The corner of Mu Lingxi's mouth curled up slightly: "That's even more interesting. According to common sense, you should hate Murong Zhuo, but you did something that goes against common sense. Why is that?"
"What do you think I am?" Nangong Mengli suddenly asked a very strange question.
This made Mu Lingxi frown: "What do you mean? Aren't you the third young lady of the Murong family? Do you have another identity?"
Nangong Mengli nodded calmly: "When Murong Zhuo was alive, I was the third young lady of the Murong family, but what if Murong Zhuo died? Who am I?"
Mu Lingxi's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, as if she understood something.
"I do hate him, but I don't hate the glory and wealth. He can die, but I must have a share of the Murong family's inheritance. This is what he owes me and what I deserve!" There was a trace of emotion in the cold words. A firm ambition.
"So you're standing up for yourself? To help yourself make a name for yourself and compete for inheritance rights?"
"Otherwise?" Nangong Mengli's lips curled up with a hint of pleasure: "If it's not for myself, could it be for Murong Zhuo?"
"Aren't you afraid that your pride will kill you?"
"Not afraid."
"Why aren't you afraid?"
"Because arrogance is also a man, and beauties always get some preferential treatment in front of men. Facts have proved that this is also true." Nangong Mengli smiled, and the dazzling lights softened under her smile. The corners of her eyes and eyebrows were all Painted with a layer of bright colors by the light.
The two male law enforcers in the field suddenly began to breathe heavily, and their eyes flashed with uncontrollable surprise.
"Ahem..." Mu Lingxi coughed lightly, which brought the two male law enforcers back to their senses. They both lowered their heads in embarrassment.
"Next question, Miss Murong, what is your relationship with Su Mu?"
"He is the shareholder of Bronze Coffin and my partner."
"I'm afraid it's more than that. Qian Zihao is your fiancé, but you brought Su Mu to the dinner. Aren't you afraid..."
"I like him." Nangong Mengli said coldly, and Mu Lingxi was slightly stunned by her straightforward words.
"Do you like him?" Mu Lingxi was very doubtful. Would a woman who dared to risk her life for her own glory and wealth easily fall in love with a man from the lower city?
"What? Isn't it possible?"
"Miss Murong, judging from what you just said, wealth and power should be more important than love in your heart. A nightmare apostle from Lower City, whose strength is only at the bronze level, can't compare to Qian Zihao, the richest man in Star City, right? You chose to attend the dinner party with Su Mu instead of Qian Zihao, which is very interesting in itself. "
At this time, Nangong Mengli suddenly showed an intriguing smile: "Captain Mu, I think... you will know the answer to this question the moment you see Su Mu.
Have any other questions? If not, I would still have to go back to mourn for Murong Zhuo. "
Mu Lingxi stared for a moment and finally let Nangong Mengli go.
"Captain Mu, Miss Murong did not lie. There was no alarm in the lie detector during the whole process."
Mu Lingxi looked at the lie detector with an incomprehensible look.
"Bring Su Mu in."
The moment Su Mu came in, Mu Lingxi and others finally knew why Nangong Mengli said those words.
This man wearing a crisp suit, brown glasses, and holding a snake-grained wood cane looks like an aristocrat from a classical oil painting, with a natural elegance and calmness.
When he sat in the interrogation chair and the dazzling lights shone on his body, it was as if the spotlight on the stage was shining on a superstar, coating his fair and flawless skin with a layer of fluorescence, without any pores or acne visible on it. Like the smoothest satin in the world.
At this moment, Mu Lingxi felt that she was a little excited. This feeling had nothing to do with love. It was just like the instinctive reaction of a man when he sees a beautiful woman or a beautiful woman when she sees a handsome man. People always like to pursue beautiful things.
Why can a grown man's skin be so good? Pretty boy!
Mu Lingxi cursed secretly in her mind before suppressing the strange feeling in her heart. She was here to interrogate, not to admire the handsome guy.
"Mr. Su, you were not invited to the dinner. Why did you go to the dinner?"
There was a gentle smile on Su Mu's lips, and his soft eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the darkness. He was looking at Mu Lingxi who was asking the question. He was like a graceful gentleman, always remembering to look at the other person when talking to him. Give the other person enough respect.
"At the invitation of a beautiful lady."
"Is it Murong Mengli?"
"Exactly."
"What's your relationship with her?"
"Colleague and friend."
"Oh?" Mu Lingxi narrowed her eyes slightly: "But I think Miss Murong seems to have a close relationship with you, and she just admitted that she likes you. As far as I know, when Ao Wang was leaving, he suddenly stopped and turned around to kill your rival Qian Zihao. Why didn't he kill others, just Qian Zihao?
Also! You brought the Golden Eye back from the Nightmare World, and then gave it to Murong Mengli to present to the head of the Murong family, but it just happened that Ao Wang suddenly appeared and snatched the Golden Eye?
What do you have to say?"
Su Mu was still laughing: "Do you suspect that I am Ao Wang?"
"If you can't answer this question, then I have reason to suspect you."
Su Mu calmly pushed his brown glasses and smiled gently: "Captain Mu, forgive me for being blunt, if I were Ao Wang, do you think you can still sit there and ask me questions safely?"
Pah!
The male law enforcer slammed the table: "Sumu! Watch your tone! This is the law enforcement bureau, not your home!"
He had long been unhappy with Sumu, and the jealousy between the same sex was most obvious.
Sumu looked at the male law enforcer with a gloomy look. Even though he was restrained by the interrogation chair, his words still made people feel like they were falling into an ice cave.
