"Don't be nervous, we're just doing our job." The police officer noticed that Ye Qing had been spacing out since hearing their introduction, so he spoke up again to try to ease Ye Qing's tension.
In fact, Ye Qing wasn't nervous, just flustered and fearful.
She used to think that being forced to marry a fool was the worst thing ever, but she never expected that someone would deliberately set fire to her in order to scheme against her, which changed the nature of the situation.
This makes people even more uneasy.
Of course, if it really was arson, it could have been aimed at the knitting factory, but the knitting factory is not doing well and is now having difficulty even paying wages, so it's unlikely that anyone would take such a big risk to do it.
It's either a knitting factory or myself...
The more Ye Qing thought about it, the more frightened she felt.
However, since the police were still waiting to ask him questions, Ye Qing temporarily put aside his fear and told the police what had happened.
"You said someone called you and said there was a problem with the workmanship of the clothes, and asked you to go and take a look?"
Ye Qing nodded: "Yes, I received the call at my own clothing store. Xiaoyue, my friend, was there at the time, and there were two other older women in the store who knew about it. Although I didn't think it was a big problem, since the people at the knitting factory are all older and more experienced than me, they still called me because they were older and more experienced than me. It would be a bit awkward if I didn't go, so I went."
After listening to what Ye Qing said, the two policemen exchanged a glance.
Because they had already asked the people who were in the workshop at the time, and no one mentioned calling Ye Qing.
If no one is lying, then there must be something else we don't know. After considering it for a moment, the police told Ye Qing what they knew.
Ye Qing asked in surprise, "No one has called me?"
The police officer said, "No one brought up this issue when we asked. Maybe they made the call, but they thought it might not be important, so they didn't tell us. That's normal."
After all, the police had been focusing on why the fire started.
If it wasn't someone from the knitting factory who made the call, then someone deliberately led me to the knitting factory, which further proves that it was premeditated.
Ye Qing unconsciously clenched her hands and swallowed hard. "I received the call in my own shop. When I went to pay the phone bill, I could print out the phone bill for each month. You police officers should be able to do that too. You can print out a phone bill from my shop and see. The phone is newly installed, and there aren't many calls each day. I received the call around one or two o'clock in the afternoon."
"We'll investigate. Is there anything else?"
If it were just an accident, Ye Qing wouldn't say certain things, because it might ruin someone's future. But now Ye Qing felt that since some people wanted him dead, he didn't need to be kind.
So he told the police about his encounter with Liu Wei at the knitting factory and that Liu Wei smelled of alcohol.
This was something the police didn't know before. After hearing what Ye Qing said, the police asked, "Isn't it normal for her to be there?"
"It's hard to say whether it's normal or not. Her family also owns a clothing factory. They make clothes and then wholesale them. Because it's almost Chinese New Year, the production volume is large, and their own factory is probably too busy to keep up with the production capacity. So they found a knitting factory to cooperate with. I saw her at the knitting factory before. What's really abnormal is the smell of alcohol on her. Also, we had a conflict before. Xiaoyue, Liu Wei, and I used to live in the same dormitory, but she moved out later."
After saying all that, Ye Qing briefly mentioned some of the conflicts between him and Liu Wei.
After listening to the story, the police found it valuable, asked some basic questions, and then left.
Xu Xiaoyue had previously thought it might be an accident, but after hearing the police's questions, even the usually carefree Xu Xiaoyue realized that the fire at the knitting factory was no longer an accident.
"Liu Wei is too vicious!" Xu Xiaoyue couldn't help but say, "You've never wronged her; she's always the one making things difficult for you."
Ye Qing chuckled self-deprecatingly: "That's our opinion. If Liu Wei had thought the same way, perhaps none of this would have happened."
However, Ye Qing can't say he doesn't hate Liu Wei now, because if Liu Wei got involved, she definitely wouldn't be able to escape.
Although Ye Qing wasn't a law student, he knew what would happen to Liu Wei if she deliberately set fire to the place.
Ye Qing wondered, even if Liu Wei harbored great hatred for him, would she really dare to do such a thing? Was there someone behind her pushing her forward?
It's easy to imagine who it could be. If Quan Zhen were to harm herself like this, Ye Qing, you could understand, right? At least she's not related to you, so Ye Qing wouldn't be too heartbroken or desperate.
But what if Ye Shuwei also gets involved...?
Although Ye Qing had no expectations of this father, she still found it somewhat difficult to accept.
But there's no use thinking about it now; we'll have to wait and see the results of the police investigation.
Ye Qing was now concerned about her losses, and she asked Xu Xiaoyue, "Were all those fabrics burned?"
If everything is burned, buying new fabric will be a significant expense. Not only will Ye Qing not make any money this way, but he might also have to spend a considerable amount of money on it.
Ye Qing was already short of money, and if he were to spend another sum of money, it would not only make matters worse, but all his previous efforts would be for nothing.
Xu Xiaoyue said, "I came to the hospital after you were rescued, so I didn't pay much attention. But when I got to the knitting factory, I saw a lot of fabric piled up outside. It must have been taken out in advance."
Hearing Xu Xiaoyue say this, Ye Qing patted his head and remembered that he had initially ordered people to frantically take out the fabric first. Later, he was busy finding water and other things to put out the fire, and he didn't notice whether all the fabric had been transported out.
Hearing Xu Xiaoyue say that, Ye Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
However, even before seeing the doctor, Ye Qing still couldn't be completely at ease and the idea of being discharged resurfaced, so she went to see the doctor.
The doctor examined Ye Qing again and, after confirming that everything was fine, discharged her from the hospital.
After being discharged from the hospital, Ye Qing did not go straight home to rest, but instead went to the knitting factory first.
After confirming that the fabrics at the knitting factory were safe, Ye Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief. The fire started at the back door, an area without machinery and filled with miscellaneous items. Also, since the factory workers hadn't been to work for a long time, there wasn't much clutter, so the overall loss wasn't too great.
Once they confirmed that the loss was within their means, Ye Qing and Xu Xiaoyue went back together to rest at the shop.
After returning, Ye Qing encountered Xi Quan at the entrance of Huamao Hotel. Remembering what Xu Xiaoyue had told her, Ye Qing took the initiative to greet Xi Quan. However, Xi Quan merely nodded at Ye Qing and left without saying a word or even giving her a second glance.
