Chapter 292 Wen Ni becomes a suspect

Because this murder case involves a school and requires a wide range of background checks, the police chief in charge of the case requested that Hwa Kuo Medical University vacate a classroom to serve as a temporary interrogation room!

Outside the temporary information desk on the first floor of the main teaching building, the room was packed with students who stayed on campus during the winter break.

However, they could only watch from afar and dared not approach.

Because there was a group of armed police officers guarding the entrance to the temporary interrogation room.

"What's going on? Why are so many people gathered here?"

"I heard the police have found the real killer of Zhen Yuan!"

"The real culprit? Who is it?"

Anxi, who had come to the teaching building to pick up a package, stopped in her tracks upon hearing this.

"Who else could it be? It's that maverick freshman who insisted on moving into the graduate student dorms!"

"That woman who dumped the senior in college!"

"Call her, Wen Ni!"

Upon hearing Wen Ni's name, An Xi's hair stood on end. Her first reaction was that it was absolutely impossible! The person who killed Zhen Yuan could not possibly be Wen Ni!

"I'm warning you, don't talk nonsense! Wen Ni would never do such a thing!"

"Wouldn't do something like that? How well do you know her? You can only know a person's face, not their heart!" Jiang Mi stepped out from the crowd. "You and Zhen Yuan have always shared a dorm room, so why is the police looking for her and not you?"

"The police are only investigating and collecting evidence right now. The identity of the murderer is still under investigation!" Anxi suppressed her anger and said calmly, "The results are not out yet, and you are spreading rumors here. With such ulterior motives, the police should lock you up as well to see if someone is deliberately diverting the police's attention and pinning the blame on Wen Ni."

"Ha! Ridiculous~"

"Enough! Stop talking nonsense." Ji Mingzhe stepped forward, blocking their path. "The police will find out what happened! Don't cause trouble here!"

"snort!"

Anxi and Jiangmi looked at each other with disgust and turned their heads away!

Anxi waited outside the door, completely unaware of the situation inside.

In case something goes wrong...

"No, I should ask someone for help. At least that would be safer and more secure!" Anxi was anxious and muttered to herself for a while before finally taking out her phone and dialing Lin Yi's number.

Temporary inquiry room

The classroom door shut out the noise from outside, making the classroom exceptionally quiet!

Wen Ni sat calmly in the front row of the desk.

Behind her, three armed police officers stood with their hands behind their backs, watching her every move.

In front of her stood two senior police officers looking down at her from the side of the podium!

One person was conducting the interrogation, while the other was taking notes.

"Our school finished the semester final exams for all grades a few days ago. During the winter break, students who stay on campus can come and go freely, so even if I don't go back to the dormitory at night, it shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Under normal circumstances, of course there is no problem."

The interrogating officer nodded, his tone slightly gentle, as if he were chatting casually with Wen Ni. But Wen Ni knew this was an interrogation technique, designed to lower her guard!

"However, through interviews with some of Zhen Yuan and Wang Zhiyuan's classmates, we learned that you used to share a dormitory with them, but later, due to personality clashes and some conflicts, you asked to move out?"

“I requested to move out of the dormitory and have no necessary contact with them.” Wen Ni leaned back, relaxed and at ease. “As for the so-called conflict, it was nothing more than a verbal argument! Officer, didn’t you ever have any arguments with anyone when you were in school?”

"Just a simple verbal altercation?" The interrogating officer narrowed his eyes. "As far as I know, you've engaged in some dangerous behavior, even threatening their lives! Isn't that right?"

"Hmm? Those were just minor warnings, how could you say they were life-threatening?" Wen Ni neither denied nor fully admitted it.

There were very few people present at the restaurant conflict, and now two more have died. So the only person who could give such a statement to the police is one of those three people!

Ji Mingzhe, Jiang Mi, or Zhang Meimei!

"A minor warning?" the officer scoffed.

"So?" Wen Ni clasped her hands on the table, her gaze calmly fixed on them. "You now suspect that I killed Zhen Yuan?"

"We're just conducting a routine investigation. You just need to cooperate with us and answer our questions!" The officer was ambiguous, then asked, "You still haven't told me where you went last night?"

"We had a get-together and then went hiking," Wen Ni replied casually.

"It's January, and you're saying you went hiking in the middle of the night?" The officer chuckled and shook his head repeatedly, seemingly helpless. "Okay, even if what you're saying is true, do you have any witnesses? Who can testify for you?"

“My classmates who ate with me can testify for me!” Wen Ni thought for a moment, then paused thoughtfully. “As for the person who climbed the mountain with me… given his status, it might be inconvenient for him to come forward as a witness!”

"Inconvenient? That's just an excuse! This is a matter of life and death! Do you think I'm joking with you here?" The officer had clearly lost his patience, and his words became more intense and stern. "Wen Ni, in this situation, it's better for you to confess voluntarily than to be tortured!"

"I have nothing to say. You've arrested the wrong person." Wen Ni remained calm and fearless throughout.

"You!" The officer pointed a finger at her nose, then withdrew it after a moment, suppressing his anger. "Fine! Since you won't confess, bring the person in for a face-to-face confrontation!"

"yes!"

The police officer responded and went out, then quickly returned, bringing in a slender girl.

The girl was pale, her eyes were unfocused, and she always looked away insecurely when she made eye contact with people!

It was Zhang Meimei.

“Zhang Meimei, now repeat what you told us in front of her!”

"Yes... it's a police officer."

Zhang Meimei turned to the side, not daring to look at Wen Ni at all. She stared at the ground with droopy eyelids and mechanically opened her mouth to speak.

"When we first enrolled, Wen Ni was assigned to our dorm room. Zhen Yuan and Wang Zhiyuan always caused her trouble, so she moved out after military training. Then one time we went to a restaurant and happened to run into her having a party with some people! To scare us, she threw a knife at the apple on Wang Zhiyuan's head. That really scared us. From then on, Wang Zhiyuan and Zhen Yuan didn't dare to offend her anymore and would take a detour whenever they saw her!"

"We bumped into each other in the cafeteria on the first day of the exam. Zhen Yuan and Wang Zhiyuan told me to treat them, but I knew they were just joking. But Wen Ni suddenly showed up at that moment and got into a conflict with them because she stood up for me!"
