Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 1747: Chapter 1741: A Frank Confession

Qin Su’e kept muttering, “I want to confess, I want to come clean,” even after arriving at the police station.

“May I ask what this is about?” The officer on duty looked at Qin Su’e, puzzled by her erratic behavior.

“I’ve committed a crime. I want to come clean. I want to turn myself in.” Qin Su’e did not truly want to do this.

But she couldn’t control her thoughts, nor could she control her actions. Heaven knows what Qin Xue had done to her—how just a few needles had turned her into this.

“What? Are you serious about this?” The officer stared at Qin Su’e in shock.

The woman appeared mentally unstable. What kind of illegal act could she possibly commit?

Still, judging by her demeanor, she didn’t seem to be lying. Not daring to take any risks, the officer decided to escort Qin Su’e to see the captain.

This kind of situation was better to take seriously than to leave unchecked. After all, isn’t there a saying: “Better safe than sorry”? What if it turned out to be true?

So he opted to eliminate any possibility of oversight.

But he never imagined that the statement she gave would shatter all the hopes of the staff there.

“Did you all hear that? Investigate immediately to see if it’s true. And for now, get this woman detained. We’ll act based on the findings.” Ji Dong hadn’t expected he’d misjudge her so badly that day.

This woman had committed such heinous acts.

She had feigned madness and played dumb to evade justice back then, so why was she turning herself in today? This question made Ji Dong deeply suspicious.

No matter how he asked, though, the woman refused to say how she ended up here, leaving Ji Dong bewildered.

Still, despite his confusion, now wasn’t the time for idle speculation. Their priority was to investigate whether Qin Su’e’s confession was truthful.

After delegating tasks, Ji Dong put on his hat and went out himself. He planned to visit the Qins’ village, as he believed there would certainly be clues there.

“Master, I didn’t think your progress would be so remarkable. You even managed to successfully experiment on that woman.” Xue Ling spoke to Qin Xue in private while the others were gone.

It had finally found an opportunity to speak with Qin Xue and was still in shock. What kind of sorcery was this? No progress for ages, and when progress did come, it caused a major upheaval.

“I didn’t expect myself to be so bold in carrying it out either. Thank goodness it worked, or I wouldn’t even want to imagine the possible consequences.” Qin Xue still felt a lingering fear upon reflection. If any of her steps had gone wrong, Qin Su’e might have truly turned into someone mentally incapacitated.

If that had happened, she’d truly be the guilty party. Now, by having Qin Su’e turn herself in, it was because she really had committed wrongdoings. But if Qin Xue had made her a complete imbecile, it would’ve compounded the issue. Thankfully, she succeeded.

“A rotten woman like her doesn’t deserve anything less than such a fate.” Xue Ling felt Qin Su’e was completely undeserving of sympathy, so it had no feelings of regret or pity.

Such a woman would only bring harm to more people if allowed to exist in this world. Even if she’d made mistakes, justice should come through the law, not through someone taking matters into their own hands. So, for Xue Ling, Qin Xue hadn’t done anything wrong.

“You’re not wrong to say that, but she should still face the consequences she rightfully deserves. Xue Ling, do you think my having her confess will lead her to implicate me?” Qin Xue pondered the time-sensitive nature of her actions. They weren’t permanent. If Qin Su’e regained control over her thoughts one day, might she reveal to the authorities that Qin Xue was behind everything?
