Chapter 117 Mist
Taking into account Zongfang's strength, the people from the Federation put smart locks on his neck, wrists, and ankles. During the whole process, he did not struggle or resist at all, and let others control him with an expressionless face.

"If you are so cooperative, how come there is news that the Federation lost a person in this mission?"

Luka asked Ans, who opened his eyes wide in horror and said in disbelief, "Who knows what that madman was thinking? The federal people had already arrested him and were about to leave. I don't know what happened, Zongfang suddenly rushed over and bit the man's neck, poisoning him to death on the spot."

Luka frowned and asked, "Why?"

Ans looked puzzled and said, "I don't know, but the people who came back uploaded the mission report, and there is a record showing that Zongfang said something after killing the person."

"What?"

"You stepped on my sofa and made it dirty."

After Ans finished retelling, he saw Luka's expression paused, and he asked in confusion: "Colonel, what do you think he was thinking? What kind of sofa is that? Is it particularly expensive? But no matter what, you can't attack someone for such a small matter! No, he is a lunatic. Maybe he enjoys killing people and uses the sofa as an excuse."

Luka didn't answer, but he had the answer in his heart -

He doesn't kill people for pleasure, but he doesn't allow others to trample on that place.

The place where they took Zongfang away was the house he bought for Sui Sui in Sote. Luka had known about it when he was chasing him. He had put a lot of thought into that place. It can even be said that Zongfang attached great importance to it. He did not run away or hide his whereabouts after destroying the Simon family. It was not that he was so confident, but that he was desperate and didn't care about the consequences. That's why he went back to that "home" and waited for people to come and arrest him.

Thinking of this, Luka asked, "After we bring him back, we should start the interrogation right away, right?"

Ans nodded: "Yes, the interrogation lasted all night and all means were used." As he said that, he handed a copy of the report to Luka.

Luka took it and looked at the interrogation record with a complicated expression. In the report, Zong Fang confessed his guilt very straightforwardly. Perhaps because the evidence was too conclusive, he was too lazy to say too much, but he cleared all the issues related to Qiao Suisui.

He looked at the final conclusion on the report: the criminal had pleaded guilty, it was indeed a crime of passion, and he was awaiting sentencing.

The next day.

Qiao Susu made an appointment with Lan Ze to meet in the greenhouse. Before leaving, she went to see Liberi first. After coming out, she called someone on her computer.

Flower room.

"I thought you would let Carl stay here for a few more days." Lan Ze now lives in his own palace in the imperial court, so he receives news quickly.

Qiao Susu didn't know how to respond to his words, so she picked up the cup and took a sip of tea.

Fortunately, Lan Ze noticed her attitude and quickly changed the topic. The two chatted for a while as usual. Qiao Suisui asked casually, "Come to think of it, I was really surprised to see you again at the last party. Where did you live after that? Why didn't you go back to Osland directly?"

Lan Ze paused holding the cup, lowered his eyes, and stroked the handle of the cup with his fingers.

He smiled and said half jokingly and half seriously: "Ash is more capable than you think. Since I left, it is not easy for me to come back."

"But doesn't he have to listen to you now?"

Lan Ze's smile stiffened a bit, his azure eyes were like a tranquil sea. He hummed softly and said, "He told you, right?" Qiao Susu said nothing, just looked at him quietly.

Lan Ze couldn't stand her silence, so he put the teacup on the table, forced a smile, and said, "I did use my elder brother's death to get my chance back. Sui Sui, will you hate me for this?"

There was a hint of surprise in Qiao Suisui's eyes, but she quickly concealed it. She continued calmly, "I want to know why you did that?"

Lan Ze's hands were on the armrests of the rattan chair. When he heard her ask this, he seemed to be considering how much she knew. His fingertips tapped the armrests silently, as if he was thinking and hesitating. In fact, Liberi had never mentioned anything to her about Neo.

Qiao Susu pretended to be angry and suddenly stood up. The chair made a harsh sound. She turned around and was about to leave. Lan Ze grabbed her in panic. When she stood up, she knocked over the teacup and splashed water all over her without noticing.

"Sui Sui, don't be angry. I'm sorry, but please believe me. I won't hurt you."

Lan Ze stood in front of her, blocking her way. He ignored his usual politeness and hurriedly held her arm.

Qiao Suisui asked: "Do you dare to say that you have never done anything to hurt me?"

Lan Ze was stunned and said hesitantly: ".You know?"

Qiao Sui Sui took out a laptop and held it in front of him, saying in a tough tone: "One of Zong Fang's assistants is called Renoir. He used to help me. Before I came to see you, I asked him some questions." She stared at him with disappointment on her face and issued an ultimatum, trying to break down his psychological defenses: "Lan Ze, I want to hear you tell me in person, instead of letting me know what you did from other people's mouths."

Lan Ze's face turned pale and his hands hung down weakly. He wanted to smile at her as usual, but that smile was uglier than crying at this moment.

"It was me who asked Neo to sell your case to the media but I swear, I won't let this have any impact on you."

It turned out to be him!

Something flashed through Qiao Susu's mind so quickly that she couldn't catch it!
She pretended to know the whole truth and deliberately provoked him: "So since the banquet, you have been deliberately trying to let everyone know my identity and put me in jail?"

"No!" Lan Ze raised his voice and asked excitedly: "How could I let you get hurt?"

"That's for"

Qiao Susu stopped asking halfway through her question. Her brain was working rapidly at this moment, and she finally pieced together part of the truth.

Before coming here, she found that she couldn't get any information from Liberi, so she called Renoir, but he only told her that the press conference was not arranged by Zongfang, and he didn't know anything else. So just now, she used a clue to blow up Lan Ze's words.

It was Lanze who exposed her identity and arranged the press conference, and then he used Neo to make some kind of deal with Liberi and returned safely to Oslan. Was Neo's death related to him? Why did he let himself misunderstand Munakata?
Thinking of Zong Fang's abnormal behavior that night at the banquet, a light flashed in Qiao Suisui's eyes, and a terrible guess emerged in her mind -

Perhaps, before she misunderstood Zongfang, Zongfang had already misunderstood herself?

Lan Ze kept explaining, but Qiao Sui Sui couldn't hear a word. She closed her eyes and faced Lan Ze with such a cold tone for the first time.

"What did you say to him that night at the banquet?"
