Chapter 62: Dirty Hands
When two people live together and a conflict arises, it is easy for the other party to take drastic measures.
Chen Zhuyi really wanted Ye Xumei to live in his place, but firstly, it was too far from where he worked, and secondly, he was now in a difficult situation and could hardly protect himself.
"You are my good sister, of course I have to speak for you. Don't worry, everything will be over, and you will definitely come back safely!" Ye Xumei reminded seriously.
Seeing him so persistent, Chen Zhuyi could only smile and nodded, handed her the key to his house, and then walked directly towards the police.
As the accused, she might be temporarily imprisoned.
Cheng Zhuoyue saw Chen Zhuyi coming over by herself, with a little sigh in his eyes, he shook his head: "A good little girl, why does she have to do such a hurtful thing? What's the point?"
"I won't admit to anything I didn't do. I don't know exactly how Aunt Lu got injured, but judging by her condition, she must have rolled down the slope, and there are signs of a sprain on her foot."
"Doctor Zheng can vouch for me. I put in a lot of effort to bring him back from the brink of death. If I were really the culprit, then there would be no need for me to do this."
"And that fruit knife is not mine."
After saying this, Chen Zhuyi squinted his eyes and rested there.
Cheng Zhuoyue looked at her confident, calm and organized attitude, and was a little shocked by her aura for a moment. He nodded with reluctant satisfaction, but he still felt a little sad in his heart.
If the murderer is Chen Zhuyi, then they also need to find usable evidence.
Now, it was only because of Xie Lingyi's desperate attitude to commit suicide that they paid attention to this matter.
"We will definitely handle this impartially and conduct a thorough investigation. We will never wrongly accuse anyone." Cheng Zhuoyue nodded, and after saying this, he immediately arranged for people to investigate the clues together.
As for Chen Zhuyi, as a possible criminal suspect, he must stay here temporarily, but she will not be deprived of food and drink.
After the 24-hour imprisonment period, Chen Zhuyi will be able to find someone to bail her out. She has not done anything against the law.
Without evidence, no one could keep her trapped there.
Even if Commander Lu could use his power to force Chen Zhuyi to be trapped here, his time was limited.
Huo Jinzhi came over halfway. Looking at Chen Zhuyi who was sitting there with a calm expression, unaffected by the external turmoil, the worry in his heart disappeared without a trace in an instant.
"As long as you search carefully and find evidence of me, that's enough. As for other things... I don't care." Chen Zhu smiled and said this calmly, with a casual look in his eyes.
"We're already checking for witnesses, but... there were very few people at the scene that day, and we haven't found any trace yet."
Huo Jinzhi briefly explained the situation.
The best solution to this matter now is to muddle through.
Even with those rumors, there was no way to convict Chen Zhu in the end, but in this way, Chen Zhu would always be surrounded by these rumors.
As for... the defamation of her reputation that she wanted to sue, that would be even more difficult than climbing to the sky. However, there is always a chance to succeed!
"It doesn't matter. I have plenty of time and patience." Chen Zhuyi smiled slightly and didn't take this matter too seriously at all.
Even if Aunt Lu and Xie Lingyi work together to fabricate evidence now, it would be very difficult.
What's more, the two of them, one lying in bed and the other trying to commit suicide, couldn't cause much trouble at all.
Chen Zhuyi is very confident that if he waits, there will be results.
Just as he expected, when Huo Jinzhi returned, he saw Liu Goudan who looked a little flustered.
He is a stubborn person in the village.
You can't find him when he's working, but he always comes over to share a bite when he's eating.
Sometimes, he would take the initiative to scam people in the village and wander around the village all day long.
The moment Liu Goudan saw Huo Jinzhi, he turned and ran away like a mouse seeing a cat.
Such abnormal behavior made Huo Jinzhi vaguely understand that he seemed to know something, so he immediately chased after him and forcibly pinned him to the ground.
"As far as I know, you like to steal things at night?" Huo Jinzhi said in a cold voice. The place where they were now was exactly where Aunt Lu fell that day!
"I...I didn't."
Liu Goudan's eyes rolled around, with an unconcealable panic in his eyes, denying everything.
"If you knew about this but didn't report it, and considering what you did before, we can...lock you up directly."
Huo Jinzhi knew that Liu Goudan did not understand the laws and regulations, so he just said it out loud.
As soon as these words came out, Liu Goudan jumped up and down anxiously, quickly covering his eyes: "I already said I didn't see anything, how could I know that a daughter would push her mother down!"
A look of understanding flashed across Huo Jinzhi's face, with surprise in his eyes.
"If you tell us everything, we will investigate the truth and maybe we can give you a chance to live." Huo Jinzhi threatened again.
Liu Goudan had a sad face and an expression of obvious sadness. He sighed a few times and didn't dare to run away.
Of course he knew that with his own physical strength, he was no match for Huo Jinzhi.
"I was just wandering around the area that day, looking for something to eat...but I didn't expect to see Xie Lingyi and Aunt Lu hanging out together. I was thinking of going over to Aunt Lu and asking for something."
Having said that, Liu Goudan's expression became even more conflicted. After hesitating for a long time, he let out a long sigh, with unconcealable sadness in his eyes.
In the past, Aunt Lu would give them some food. Although Liu Goudan didn't say anything, he remembered this kindness in his heart.
He usually has nothing to do, but he would find it a little difficult to approach someone who is really willing to help him.
"Who would have thought... I just saw Xie Lingyi push Aunt Lu down at that corner, and then ran over there. I don't know what happened after that."
Liu Goudan sighed again. He had been worried these past two days and had been hiding from people because he felt that this was something Aunt Lu didn't want to be exposed.
If he had made things clear himself, or done it in an awkward way, it would have been a bit inappropriate.
I didn’t expect that I would meet Huo Jinzhi while wandering around today!
"Come with me to the Public Security Bureau and tell us everything you need to say. Otherwise, you will be in trouble!" Huo Jinzhi finally got a positive answer. He reached out and pulled Liu Goudan, taking him to the Public Security Bureau.
This is truly the case of searching for something everywhere but finally finding it without any effort!
