Chapter 108 Helpful
Sam's Hotel.
Carrie propped herself up on the soft bed; it was so comfortable to sleep until noon.
After a quick wash in the hotel bathroom, Carrie left her room, went to the next room, and knocked on the door.
“Brother Li Qing, it’s me! Carrie!” Carrie said.
"Yes, come in, Carrie."
The room door opened automatically, and Carrie went inside.
Inside the hotel room, Li Qing sat cross-legged on the bed, holding a fist-sized green gem in his hand.
Previously, Li Qing's cultivation level was insufficient, so he was helpless against the life gem full of energy.
The Life Gem has just been sitting in the system space collecting dust!
Now that Li Qing's cultivation has reached the Refining Spirit Returning to Emptiness stage, he has discovered that he can directly absorb the energy of the Life Gem for cultivation.
The energy within the Life Gem is gentle and calm, beneficial and harmless to cultivation, and that gentle life energy continuously nourishes Li Qing's body.
Having been in this world for a few days, Li Qing used the Life Gem to cultivate whenever he had free time, and his cultivation level improved slightly over the past few days.
When Li Qing saw that Jia Li had come to him, he guessed that she had something to discuss, so he quickly stopped cultivating and put the gem back into his system space.
"Carrie, what's wrong? Come sit down and talk to me." Li Qing patted the edge of the large bed, gesturing for Carrie to sit down.
"Brother Li Qing, have I disturbed you?"
Carrie sat on the bed and looked at Li Qing somewhat shyly.
"It's nothing! Tell me what's wrong!"
"Brother Li Qing, what I want to talk about is my family... Now that our house has burned down, my mother and I can't keep living in a hotel, and we don't have any savings..."
As she spoke, Carrie lowered her head shyly, feeling embarrassed to have troubled Brother Li Qing.
"This is easy to solve. Don't forget, the fire in your house was started by Chris. Although the arsonist is dead now, Chris's parents are still alive!"
"Their daughter made a mistake, so naturally they, as parents, should make amends!"
Li Qing looked at Carrie with a smile.
Chris was the one who committed the arson, and her death by burning was entirely her own fault.
“Carrie, you have to trust the judgment of your American police. They will give you justice.”
Even if the outcome of the case is unfavorable to Carrie and her companion, Li Qing only needs to intervene slightly to resolve the issue.
.......
At noon, Li Qing and Jia Li had lunch together.
The black sheriff came to their door, but Li Qing didn't ask how he knew Li Qing and the others' location.
After all, Chamberlain is a small town, and there's only one hotel near Carlin Street: the Sam's Hotel.
“Mr. Li Qing, there’s been a new development in the case, and we need you to come to the police station to cooperate with our investigation!” the black police chief said, staring at Li Qing.
"No problem, we will cooperate with the police investigation, as long as you can give Carrie and her daughter justice."
......
Inside the police station, Li Qing and her daughter Jia Li were interrogated separately.
The black sheriff sat opposite Li Qing and said, "Here's the thing, Mr. Li Qing. We have confirmed the identities of the three deceased: Chris Hagensen, Billy Anderson, and Ginny Chester. They were all friends."
"I'm also puzzled as to why the three of them appeared on Carlin Street late at night. The deceased, Chris, was hospitalized during the day, so why would she go to Carlin Street to set fire to the place late at night?"
“We obtained physical evidence from the deceased Billy’s car, confirming that the fire was started by the two of them. But why would the arsonist die in the fire and burn himself? I think it’s unlikely. Who would be so stupid?”
"What are your thoughts on this case, Mr. Li Qing?"
The Black police officer kept looking Li Qing up and down.
He suspected that Li Qing discovered the three of them setting the fire, knocked them unconscious, and then threw them into the fire.
This is why the three people were unable to escape from the fire and died on the spot!
"What do I think?"
"I'll just sit and watch."
Li Qing shrugged indifferently and said with a smile.
He naturally sensed the black sheriff's suspicion, but so what if he was suspected?
What can they do to Li Qing?
Even if they sit still, they can't hurt Li Qing in the slightest.
"......"
"Mr. Li Qing, this is a case under investigation, please be serious!"
"What? Why are you interrogating me like I'm a criminal?"
"What do you mean?" Li Qing stood up from his chair and looked calmly at the black sheriff.
Instantly, the black sheriff sensed a dangerous aura approaching, sending chills down his spine.
The outdoor temperature is over 40 degrees Celsius right now, how could he feel like that?
No, this feeling is coming from that man!
Realizing the danger, the Black sheriff dared not speak out of turn.
“Mr. Li Qing, it was my attitude that was problematic. Please sit down and don’t get agitated.”
"Humph!"
You won't know how powerful someone is until you put some pressure on them!
Suddenly, young officer Jim burst into the office.
Upon seeing Li Qing in the office, he was taken aback, a look of fear appearing on his face. He then pretended to be calm and walked to the black sheriff's side.
Jim leaned close to the sheriff's ear and whispered, "Sheriff, there's new information. I got a call from someone who said he saw a figure and a car floating in the air at night, right near Mrs. Margaret's house. Also, the town's fire department has a report that when they went to the fire scene, their fire truck was controlled by a mysterious force and couldn't move forward."
"Also, I couldn't find any information about this Asian man; he suddenly appeared in Chamberlain."
Mysterious power?
People and cars floating?
As the Black sheriff listened to all this, he couldn't help but connect these events with Li Qing.
Could it be that this Asian man did all of this?
The black sheriff was terrified at the thought, his heart filled with fear.
This person is so dangerous. The two of them were in the same room just now. Wasn't that extremely dangerous?
He looked at Li Qing, and Li Qing looked at him at the same time; their eyes met.
The Black sheriff was completely stunned by Li Qing's meaningful smile.
He was now certain that this Asian man was responsible for all of this.
"You knew everything?" Li Qing said.
"Mr. Li Qing, what do you mean by that? I don't quite understand."
"Cough cough..."
"However, Mr. Li Qing, please feel free to make any requests you may have, and we will certainly help you fulfill them! We American police officers are always happy to help others!"
"Are American police officers always so helpful? Is that true? I've never heard of that."
Li Qing leaned back in her chair and raised her legs, pressing them onto the desk.
Li Qing's arrogant attitude made Jim, who was standing to the side, unable to hold back any longer.
Do they really have no respect for American police?
He wanted to confront Li Qing, but was stopped by the black sheriff.
"Jim, you can go out first. I have something to discuss with this gentleman!"
