Lawyer Liu sat down on a chair next to Qi Nuan and nodded to Prosecutor Huang Yan across from him. "Prosecutor Huang, long time no see."
It seems that the two people are old acquaintances.
Qi Nuan saw Huang Yan frown, but nodded to Liu Xinyu as a return gesture.
Liu Xinyu dropped the politeness and stated his purpose: "I heard that my client was only invited here as a reference witness to cooperate with the questioning, right?"
Qi Nuan paid special attention to his pronunciation, emphasizing the words "just" and "please".
After all, she was a law school student, and she immediately guessed that the previous questions she was asked were just an attempt to find some loopholes in her.
With this understanding, she felt at ease and kept her mouth shut, leaving the situation entirely to the Lu family's specially hired lawyer.
Huang Yan's eyes flickered for a moment, but he finally nodded: "That's right."
Liu Xinyu smiled and moved his chair closer to Qi Nuan.
He whispered to her, "Qi Meng is fine. Young Master Lu asked me to come."
Qi Nuan felt relieved and raised her chin slightly, motioning him to look at the paper investigation report in front of him.
Liu Xinyu picked up the document, glanced at it, clicked his tongue twice, and smiled noticeably.
"What a coincidence! I was previously in charge of a case involving aconitine poisoning. It's true that this substance is poisonous, but the dosage required to cause poisoning is 0.2mg, and the lethal dose is 2 to 4mg."
He pointed to the amount of aconitine residue found in the report. "The level detected in the body is quite low, far from the dangerous level. Prosecutor Huang is aware that Mr. Gu is elderly and has a weak heart. It's normal for the traditional Chinese medicine he takes to contain aconite."
Qi Nuan was stunned, sighed in her heart, and smiled helplessly. If she had listened to her roommate's advice and taken the forensic course, she wouldn't have to waste so much time here.
Huang Yan slammed the pen in his hand on the table, his expression tense. "Miss Qi, do you find anything funny in this situation?"
She wasn't afraid at first, but now Qi Nuan has a clear mind and is no longer afraid of his "anger".
"No, I feel helpless because such unprofessional negligence by professionals has caused trouble to us sisters."
After she finished speaking, she chuckled twice, stared at Prosecutor Huang, and asked, "Does Prosecutor Huang need me to answer anything else for reference?"
Huang Yan shamelessly pretended not to hear the complaint in Qi Nuan's words. He nodded to the two people opposite him and said, "Let's stop here for today. Thank you very much for your cooperation. If there is any need, we will notify you in advance."
"Although I'm simply serving as a reference for the case, it's still very unpleasant to be suddenly asked to come to a place like this. I hope that in the future, when my lawyer is not around, you will not interrogate me alone again."
Qi Nuan stood up and looked at Huang Yan with a smile on his face. "After all, I'm not a professional. I might be misled."
The prosecutor sitting opposite said nothing, but just gripped the pen on the table tightly.
Liu Xinyu accompanied Qi Nuan, greeted the staff, ended the informal inquiry process, and walked out.
As soon as they walked out of the prosecutor's office, Qi Nuan anxiously asked Liu Xinyu: "Where is my sister?"
Liu Xinyu said she had already gone back in Pei's car.
Qi Nuan wondered why her sister was in such a hurry to leave. After such a thing happened, she thought Qi Meng would at least cry to her.
It was snowing lightly outside, and Qi Nuan couldn't help shivering as soon as he came into contact with the damp and cold air outside.
She hates winter, especially the cold weather with snow.
Qi Nuan pulled his collar up, put his hands in his pockets, and held his body tightly.
She still hasn't figured out why Gu Hui did this. He knew it was a frame-up without any evidence and it would be impossible for it to succeed, so why did he go through all the trouble?
Did he simply dislike Qi Meng? Or did he want to use the sisters to attack Lu Yin?
As she was walking and thinking, Liu Xinyu beside her suddenly pulled her arm.
Qi Nuan looked up to ask what was going on, and saw Liu Xinyu pointing across the street: "Over there, Mr. Lu is waiting for you."
Lu Yin stood by the car with Xiaoxue on his back, looking straight in her direction.
Qi Nuan's steps unconsciously quickened.
She only realized it when she was almost there, and awkwardly stuffed her hands into her pockets, slowing down as if she was looking for something.
Seeing a layer of fine snow falling on the broad shoulders of the man in front of her, Qi Nuan's eyes suddenly became moist.
She was very happy that the tall figure was waiting here despite the cold weather. The feeling of grievance she had just felt came back to her, making her want to cry again.
"How are you?"
Qi Nuan nodded and finally smiled easily: "I'm fine, Lawyer Liu arrived just in time."
Lu Yin held the scarf in his hand over her head and looked at Liu Xinyu: "Thank you for your hard work, Lawyer Liu."
"You're welcome. It's all my job."
Liu Xinyu politely gestured to the two and drove away.
Lu Yin opened the passenger door and let Qi Nuan get in.
After he got into the car from the other side, he immediately turned up the temperature inside the car a little bit.
Qi Nuan rubbed her warmed face and turned to ask Lu Yin, who was concentrating on driving: "Are we still going back to the hotel?"
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but Lu Yin's face didn't look very good, and he looked a little cold all over.
"No, go to your sister first."
"Qi Meng... that's fine too."
After all, she had just been interrogated and hadn't even seen her sister. Qi Nuan wanted to go and see her condition in person.
