He was taken aback for a moment, then realized what was wrong and asked, "Officers, is there something you need?"

Upon hearing the sound, Qiao Yaxiang immediately jumped up and went to the door.

"Is Jian Jiaojiao from here?" the head of the criminal investigation team asked.

Before Yu Hua could reply, Qiao Yaxiang spoke first, "Officer, I am Jian Jiaojiao's mother. What can I do for you? Has something happened to Jiaojiao?"

For some reason, she had a bad feeling.

“We are from the Municipal Criminal Investigation Brigade, and we are handling a murder case. We have identified Jian Jiaojiao as the prime suspect, and we need to take her back to the police station to cooperate with the investigation.”

Qiao Yaxiang could hardly believe it. "Officer, you must have made a mistake. How could my daughter kill someone? Why would she kill someone for no reason? You must have made a mistake!"

"Madam, please cooperate with our investigation," the criminal investigation captain said with a serious expression.

Even so, Qiao Yaxiang refused to back down.

"Officer, I know my daughter; she would never kill anyone. Can you tell me who the dead person is?"

The criminal police captain frowned. Seeing this, a detective leaned over and whispered something in his ear. Then the detective glanced at Qiao Yaxiang and said...

"The deceased is your ex-husband, Jian Mingpeng. We hope you can cooperate with our investigation."

Upon hearing the sound, Qiao Yaxiang was immediately startled.

Jian Mingpeng is dead?

The suspect was his own daughter.

When Qiao Yaxiang heard that the deceased was Jian Mingpeng, she was no longer so certain. Especially considering that what Jian Jiaojiao had suffered recently might have warped her mind, she couldn't be sure.

After thinking for a moment, Qiao Yaxiang looked at the criminal police captain and said, "Officer, my daughter is a good child. She wouldn't do such a thing, and it's impossible that you've made a mistake, right?"

The criminal investigation captain said, "Madam, please cooperate with our investigation. We will tell you the specifics after the investigation is completed."

Now, please bring your daughter out to cooperate with our investigation. Otherwise, I can interpret your actions as obstruction of official business, which is punishable by imprisonment.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yaxiang felt a surge of panic.

Just as I was wondering what to do, a noise suddenly came from the stairwell.

Perhaps noticing the commotion at the door, Jian Jiaojiao walked towards it.

"Mom, who's here?"

Jian Jiaojiao asked casually.

Suddenly, she saw a detective in a police uniform and was immediately stunned.

Just as she was about to turn and run away, she suddenly realized that if she ran away without the police officer saying anything, it was obvious that she was feeling guilty.

Perhaps, Jian Jiaojiao forced herself to calm down.

Upon hearing the commotion and witnessing the scene, Qiao Yaxiang was at a loss for what to do. She couldn't very well let Jian Jiaojiao escape in front of the criminal police, and the situation immediately became tense.

It was the criminal investigation captain who, upon hearing the sound and glancing at the photo in his hand, immediately confirmed that the person in front of him was the one they were looking for.

Then, the criminal police bypassed Qiao Yaxiang and the others, and stopped in front of Jian Jiaojiao.

“Jian Jiaojiao, we suspect you are involved in Jian Mingpeng’s murder. Please come with us.”

Upon hearing this, Jian Jiaojiao felt a pang of panic.

Damn, it's so fast!

No, she absolutely cannot be taken away!

Especially now, she hasn't even seen that bitch die yet, how could she possibly get into trouble first!

"Officer, are you sure you're not mistaken? Jian Mingpeng is my father, how could I possibly kill him?"

The police captain was clearly not buying it, and his expression remained unchanged.

"Whether you killed him or not, we'll know once we investigate."

"Now, please cooperate with our investigation, otherwise we have the right to forcibly take you away!"

The criminal investigation captain said without any mercy.

Then the criminal police captain waved to the criminal police officers behind him, and the officers immediately understood.

The detective walked up to Jian Jiaojiao and, ignoring her struggles, handcuffed her directly.

Qiao Yaxiang, standing at the door, frowned suddenly upon seeing this and couldn't help but want to speak.

Yu Hua immediately grabbed Qiao Yaxiang's hand, and Qiao Yaxiang turned her head to look at Yu Hua in confusion.

Yu Hua shook his head at her and said in a low voice, "Don't go. You must make sure you're alright before you can save her."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yaxiang thought for a moment and immediately understood Yu Hua's considerations.

Yes, she had to do everything she could to protect herself; only if she was safe could she hope to rescue her daughter.

Jian Jiaojiao said unwillingly, "Officer, you must have made a mistake. How could I possibly kill my own father?"

She didn't want to be taken away like that.

She hadn't yet witnessed Jian Yixue's complete disgrace. How could she let herself lose everything first!

The criminal investigation captain looked coldly at Jian Jiaojiao and said, "All criminals say the same thing when they are arrested, but the evidence always proves them wrong. I hope you can be an exception."

After saying that, he turned to the detective and said, "Take him away."

Upon hearing this, Jian Jiaojiao's expression changed.

Looking into his eyes, she felt as if his gaze could penetrate the depths of her heart, stirring countless waves within her.

As Jian Jiaojiao passed by the door, she saw Qiao Yaxiang, who was pleading for her, and she immediately felt hatred towards her.

What's the use of a mother who claims to love her but still watches helplessly as her child is taken away for money?

If I had known this would happen, she should have been the first one to be killed.

Qiao Yaxiang had no idea what Jian Jiaojiao was thinking. Seeing Jian Jiaojiao being taken away caused her great pain, but now she knew nothing and couldn't help her.

However, seeing Jian Jiaojiao's background, she couldn't help but say, "Jiaojiao, cooperate with the police officer. Mom will find a way to get you out and will hire the best lawyer for you."

Upon hearing the sound, Jian Jiaojiao stopped, glanced at Qiao Yaxiang, and left without saying a word.

Afterwards, having no other choice, Qiao Yaxiang shamelessly approached Zhao De again.

Inside the private room.

"Brother Zhao, I really have no other choice. You're the only person I can think of right now."

After saying that, she started crying sadly.

When Zhao's father saw the woman he had once loved crying so sadly and helplessly, he was immediately moved with compassion.

"I'll have someone check it out for you."

Zhao's father sighed; in the end, he still couldn't bear it.

Qiao Yaxiang looked at Zhao De excitedly, "Thank you, Brother Zhao. We will definitely repay your kindness to my daughter and me."

"No need for repayment, I'm just doing my best to help you investigate this matter."

"If you want her to get out safely, you can only pray that this matter really has nothing to do with her. Otherwise, even I can't do anything about it."

Qiao Yaxiang nodded hurriedly, "I understand, Brother Zhao."

"How could Jiaojiao possibly have killed Jian Mingpeng? It's possible if it were someone else."

But Jian Mingpeng is her father; she would never do something so rebellious. My daughter, I believe in her character.
