Chapter 131: Self-Defense

The sirens with red and blue lights brought Xia Cheng from home to the police station.

Because Xiao Lai was stabbed, Xia Cheng needed to go to the police station to give a statement. Before leaving, Xia Cheng did not forget the photos in Xiao Lai's mobile phone.

In this day and age, AI is prevalent. Even if she said that the photo was created by AI, people would still believe her. The key is that it is evidence, evidence that Xiao Lai wanted to rape Xia Cheng.

Xia Cheng took advantage of Xiao Lai's inability to move and snatched his cell phone. Seeing this, the police hurriedly stopped her. After Xia Cheng told the police the reason, they took the cell phone away.

The police station can apply for specialized technical personnel. Even if Xiao Lai doesn't tell them the password, it doesn't matter, they can find it.

After this, Xia Cheng was completely relieved. Late at night, she refused to let Chen Kelin follow her, but Chen Kelin cried and took a taxi to the police station.

At this time, Xia Cheng had been taken to the interrogation room.

Chen Kelin was running around anxiously outside.

It was from the police that she learned that the man wanted to rape Xia Cheng, but why? Xia Cheng was now locked up, and the police could not reveal any relevant information.

Chen Kelin wanted to help Xia Cheng, but she had never met Li Laiyang and didn't know where to start.

However, after thinking for a while, she immediately thought of another person.

Xia Cheng's brother, Xun Sheng.

He should know something!

After leaving her phone number at the police station, Chen Kelin took a taxi to Xiya. She knew that Xun Sheng lived downstairs from Xia Cheng, but the security guard refused to let her in. Chen Kelin was so anxious that she sat on the ground and refused to leave.

"Please call Xun Sheng from the 11th floor for me! Tell him that his sister is in trouble!"

The security guard was afraid that she would shout and disturb others, so he had to ask the property manager for permission and then pass the information on.

But soon, there was a reply from the other end.

"Sorry Miss, Mr. Xun is not at home."

"Not at home?" Chen Kelin frowned. "Then where did he go?"

"That...we don't know."

After the security guard finished speaking, Chen Kelin was stunned for a while, and then she thought of Lin Minghe. It seemed that they had a good relationship when they were in the hospital.

She immediately sent a message in the group chat of four people, only to find that the group chat had been disbanded without her knowing.

Chen Kelin had never added Lin Minghe's personal contact information, so seeing this, she could only call Chu Xiao.

*

Chu Xiao looked at the phone call from Chen Kelin and subconsciously wanted to answer it. Lin Minghe came to his house to get drunk yesterday and today, and the coach was already very angry, but fortunately there was no competition recently.

But Lin Minghe said nothing. After drinking a lot of bitterness with his face flushed, he lay on the ground. Chu Xiao finally dragged him to the carpet.

He wanted to wait until the other person woke up before asking, but the other person woke up and continued to drink, as if he didn't want to wake up, and kept calling Xia Cheng's name. Chu Xiao was wondering whether to ask Chen Kelin when he saw Chen Kelin calling him late at night. He hurriedly picked up the phone while still sleepy.

But after answering the phone, he suddenly woke up and kicked the drunk Lin Minghe in the living room a few times, but failed to wake him up. He was so angry that he put on his pants while walking away.

Chen Kelin was crying anxiously on the other end of the phone, but she didn't explain clearly what was going on. All she knew was that she was looking for Lin Minghe. However, Lin Minghe couldn't even open his eyes. He put on his clothes, took the car keys, and rushed to Xiya Yipin.

Arriving in Xiya, Chen Kelin got into Chu Xiao's car and asked:

"Where's Lin Minghe?"

"Oh...he's sleeping."

"It's so late and you're still sleeping. Xia Cheng is still in the police station!"

"What's going on?" Chu Xiao was a little confused.

Chen Kelin told him everything she knew, and then asked Chu Xiao:

"Do you know Li Laiyang?"

"I don't know him." He shook his head honestly. Chen Kelin became even more anxious, and with her eyes red from crying, she scolded him, "Then what are you doing here?"

"Don't cry, that won't solve the problem. I don't know anything, but I can help you find out, right? The most important thing now is to find out what happened from the police. Is it the Municipal Police Station? I have friends there. Wait, I'll ask now."

After hearing what he said, Chen Kelin gradually stopped crying and listened to Chu Xiao's phone call. Unexpectedly, when Chu Xiao opened his mouth, he first called out "Uncle."

Chen Kelin: “?”

Chu Xiao said, "Uncle, hey, I didn't mean to disturb your sleep. It's just that I have a friend who is being held in the city police station. I want to know what her current situation is and how to deal with it."

He paused and said, "My name is Xia Cheng, Xia for summer, and Cheng for orange."

The man's voice on the other end of the phone faded away. Chu Xiao hung up the phone and handed Chen Kelin two more pieces of paper.

"Don't cry, I'm here. Let's go to the police station now."

Chen Kelin sniffed: "Can your uncle ask? Xia Cheng's matter is quite serious."

"Director should be able to do it." Chu Xiao turned the steering wheel and smiled at Chen Kelin.

Chen Kelin's heart, which had been beating fast, suddenly felt at ease.

Just as Chu Xiao said, after the two arrived at the police station, he gave the name of his uncle who was the chief, and a police officer took the initiative to communicate with them.

Chen Kelin looked at the hot tea in front of her. Even though her voice was hoarse from crying, she couldn't drink a single sip.

"What happened? Who is that man? Why is he in Xia Cheng's house?"

Compared to Chen Kelin, Chu Xiao is much calmer.

"Officer, we mainly want to know what happened and where Xia Cheng is now? How can we get out?"

The officer's face was serious. "This is a serious matter. According to Xia Cheng, Li Laiyang, the suspect, attempted to rape the victim, Xia Cheng. After taking intimate photos of her, she ran away. Li Laiyang threatened her with a knife, and Xia Cheng fought back with a baseball bat. She accidentally bumped into the knife, causing it to deviate and accidentally pierce Li Laiyang's body."

"Have you investigated?" Chu Xiao asked.

The officer nodded.

"We're currently investigating. The phone and knife have been sent for testing, but the results aren't out yet. We only know that Li Laiyang was Xia Cheng's gardener. Also, according to colleagues at the hospital, Li Laiyang was stabbed in the spleen and is receiving emergency medical treatment and surgery. Once he's out of danger, someone will take a statement and investigate the circumstances. Of course, if the evidence is conclusive, we'll arrest him. Xia Cheng is currently in the interrogation room and will likely be detained in the detention center within 24 hours."

Chen Kelin and Chu Xiao looked at each other.

Chen Kelin asked again: "What can we do, let Xia Cheng out?"

The officer thought about it carefully and said, "Let's hire a better lawyer. The other party may use the stabbing as an excuse to sue Xia Cheng. Plus, the suspect didn't succeed in the rape. If Xia Cheng is found guilty of excessive self-defense, she may have to go to jail."

Chen Kelin's expression changed instantly, as if she suddenly couldn't understand what the person opposite was saying.

She murmured: "But Xia Cheng is obviously the victim..."

"If he is truly a victim, our country's laws will not wrongly accuse any good person. It's just a matter of time, so you should be mentally prepared. Now that the incident has just happened, Xia Cheng has actually been temporarily listed as a suspect."

Chu Xiao gently patted the back of Chen Kelin's trembling hand and looked at the police officer:

"Can we meet Xia Cheng?"

"Sorry, not right now. Maybe in a few days. But you can prepare some daily necessities for her." The officer stood up and pushed the chair in, not forgetting to remind him, "Remember to find an experienced criminal lawyer. The lawyer has the right to meet with the client."

"Thank you." Chu smiled and sighed deeply after the person left.

It seems I have to go to the Xun family.
