Chapter 162 You Are Not Dead

Gu Xiaoxi was silent for two seconds before saying, "She suspected that I took money, and I could also suspect that she deliberately framed me. If it is confirmed that she wronged me, can I punish her?"

The police officer in charge of this case was stunned for a moment, "Do you have a way to prove your innocence?"

Gu Xiaoxi raised her eyebrows, "Why should I prove myself? If she suspects me, shouldn't she be the one to testify and prove that I took her money?"

At this time, a female police officer next to her whispered, "She said you used her money to pay the driver of the carriage..."

Gu Xiaoxi laughed when he heard this, "Go ask Fu Jiani what her money looks like. The money I gave to that uncle was a brand new five yuan bill, and it didn't even have a crease, how could it be hers? She had kept the money with her for who knows how long, it must be wrinkled and dirty. Just compare it."

"Of course, you can find that uncle to confirm. The uncle said his name is Huang Zouzou and he lives in Beiling Village."

The female police officer was stunned when she heard this. "Are you talking about Uncle Huang who drives a horse carriage in Beiling Village? I know him, and his daughter is in the city."

Gu Xiaoxi nodded, "Yes, Uncle Huang said he was going to send something to his daughter, so he may not have left yet."

As she spoke, she took out a wad of money from her bag and showed it to the three police officers.

"This is the money I brought with me this time. Look, it's all brand new with no creases. Fu Jiani got her money from selling wild boars. It's impossible for people to give her this kind of money!"

The three policemen were all stunned when they saw the huge stack of banknotes that were as new as could be.

This girl must have at least one or two thousand dollars in her hand!

This is a person who has no shortage of money and is unlikely to steal money.

What's more, her husband is a regimental-level officer.

"Comrades from the Public Security Bureau, please interrogate Fu Jiani again! Otherwise, let her think about it carefully. My husband and I went into the mountains at around 5 o'clock in the morning yesterday, and Fu Jiani said she saw money at noon."

"But the truth is, when I returned to the camp last night, Fu Jiani hadn't come back yet. When they came back, I was already asleep."

"When I got up in the morning, she had a fever. Zhong Jue and Zhang Bingyi were there. I gave her some antipyretic powder for free. After that, I didn't have any contact with her because I went out of the tent to have breakfast. I didn't touch anything of hers."

"The only close contact was on the carriage, but I was leaning against my husband and chatting with Uncle Huang. She was leaning against her partner and we didn't have any contact."

"I was willing to give the uncle more money because he knew the route well and helped us get to the city earlier, saving me several hours of bumpy ride. I think the money is worth it and I am willing to give it. After all, I don't need these few dollars."

Gu Xiaoxi spoke very clearly and logically, and anyone with a brain could understand him.

There is no way she could have stolen Fu Jiani's money.

The three police officers could naturally make the judgment. After discussing it, the female police officer left quickly.

The other two police officers went to talk to Fu Jiani and the others for a while.

Forty minutes later, Uncle Huang and the female police officer came to the guesthouse together.

Uncle Huang handed the money that Gu Xiaoxi gave him yesterday to the police for inspection.

It was a brand new five-dollar bill. Uncle Huang was reluctant to fold it together with his other money because it was new, so there wasn't even a crease on it.

After the police checked the money, Uncle Huang added, "I just checked my carriage carefully and didn't find anyone missing any money. Comrade Fu's money must have fallen into the mountain! Didn't they just come down from the mountain? And it rained yesterday. When they got on my carriage, I saw that the female comrade's coat was still very dirty. She must have fallen. It must have fallen."

As he spoke, Uncle Huang pointed at Fu Jiani.

It was these words that stunned the three police officers and Zhong Jue.

The police really found that Fu Jiani's clothes were dirty and not wiped clean, and her shoes were also covered with mud.

Zhong Jue suddenly remembered one thing: they had fallen down when they were returning to the camp in the rain.

His face suddenly turned ugly.

At this time, Qi Shuangshuang, who was standing on the other side, couldn't help but laugh.

"You dropped the money yourself, and now you're framing Xiaoxi and me, Fu Jiani. You're amazing. You said the money was still there at noon, but you and Zhong Jue went out at noon and didn't come back until one or two in the morning. We didn't have any contact with you during this time."

"Besides, you are so cautious, so you must have brought your money with you. You couldn't have left it in the tent. We moved out of the tent in the morning, and the only contact was in the carriage. There were so many people in the carriage, and you were not dead. How could you not know if someone stole your money?"

Fu Jiani was really panicked this time.

Because she suddenly felt that her money might really have fallen into the mountain.

After the fall, she never looked at money again.

This morning they said they were going down the mountain, and she had a fever again, so she didn't even check to see if the money was there.

What now?

She looked at Zhong Jue in panic and fear, "Brother Zhong Jue, I..."

The police officer in charge of the case understood something after looking at Fu Jiani's expression.

He said in a deep voice: "The facts are very clear. You lost the money yourself. If you want to get it back, you can only go to the mountain to find it yourself. But you have to apologize to these two female comrades first!"

When Fu Jiani heard this, she burst into tears.

She has already been in such a miserable state, yet she still has to apologize to others.

Gu Xiaoxi waved his hands and said, "Forget it. An insincere apology is meaningless. I'll let it go for Zhang Bingyi's sake this time."

Qi Shuangshuang also nodded. "Even though she apologized, it wasn't a sincere apology. I hope she will behave herself in the future and not wrongly accuse others. I won't care about it anymore."

Just like Xiaoxi said, an insincere apology doesn't hurt the person making it, and the person hearing it doesn't feel respected, so it doesn't matter.

Seeing that the matter was resolved, Lu Jiansen nodded to the three police officers and looked at his little girl.

"Let's go have breakfast!"

Gu Xiaoxi nodded immediately, then looked at Uncle Huang, "Uncle, please do us a favor and let us treat you to breakfast!"

Uncle Huang smiled and waved his hands, "No need, it's already this late, I've already had breakfast."

"Then I'll treat you to lunch at the state-owned hotel at noon." Gu Xiaoxi changed his mind again.

Uncle Huang said with a smile: "You, my dear, have so much money that you can't spend it all?"

Gu Xiaoxi pursed her lips and smiled, "We will buy tickets to go back to Qingbei in a while. I don't know when we will meet again. People pay attention to first impressions. Uncle is a good person, so I want to treat you to a meal."

Uncle Huang laughed, "Okay! That sounds good to me. Let's go have lunch at noon. I've never been willing to eat at a state-owned hotel before!"

Gu Xiaoxi also smiled, made an appointment with the uncle, and went to have breakfast first.

As soon as she left, Qi Shuangshuang naturally followed.
