Chapter 135 I'm unlucky, I accept it.
The woman's face drained of color instantly, her eyes shifting from ecstasy to astonishment, and then to boundless fear!
An ominous premonition, like a cold, venomous snake, instantly coiled around her heart!
"What...what are you doing?! You've arrested the wrong person! It's her! It's the one who sells drug-laced food!" the woman screamed in terror, her body involuntarily shrinking back.
"We've got your case." Qin Haoran's voice remained calm, yet carried a chilling edge. "You're suspected of false accusation, insurance fraud, and... involvement in drug trafficking and money laundering with your fiancé, A Zhe. The evidence is conclusive. Come with us for questioning."
"No! I didn't! You're framing me! It's that bitch..." The woman panicked completely, struggling and screaming incoherently, her voice shrill and piercing, completely lacking the "infectiousness" she had displayed when she was putting on a tragic performance.
Two experienced auxiliary police officers grabbed her from both sides without hesitation, swiftly handcuffed her, and dragged her towards the detention room, ignoring her cries and struggles.
The woman's screams and curses echoed in the police station lobby until the heavy iron door of the detention cell slammed shut, leaving only an abrupt, deathly silence.
Looking at the closed iron gate, Su Xiaonuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and her tense nerves relaxed.
She raised her hand and gently pressed her slightly throbbing temples.
Actually, she was quite shocked after reading the document Han Ming sent her last night.
The document clearly reveals the true nature of this woman and her fiancé, "A Zhe's Movie Commentary."
It turns out that the two of them are from the same team as "Dora the Big Eater," who was arrested for false advertising and consumer fraud!
Moreover, the man whose roasted lamb leg was taken away that day was also one of their gang members!
Dora was responsible for attracting traffic and selling products in front of the camera, while they remained behind the scenes.
After Dora was arrested, the two men—one was Dora's ex-boyfriend, A Zhe, and the other was Dora's "best friend," the woman from earlier—immediately absconded with most of Dora's accumulated wealth and went free.
They squandered their ill-gotten gains, quickly exhausting the enormous sum of money they had embezzled.
Desperate and with no other options, "A Zhe Movie Commentary" took a risk and embarked on the lucrative path of drug trafficking, utilizing some shady connections he had accumulated as a film commentator.
This woman was responsible for laundering money through various channels.
Until their most important subordinate drug dealer—"Old Black," the man in sunglasses who was arrested on the spot by Lu Zheng the day Su Xiaonuan was selling roasted lamb legs at her stall.
His unexpected arrest dealt a heavy blow to their drug sales channels, leaving them unable to sell their stockpiled "goods" and on the verge of financial collapse.
This woman was worried about being implicated and even more heartbroken that the wealth she was about to gain would vanish, so she devised a wicked plan!
Taking advantage of the fact that "Ah Zhe" was often unconscious due to drug use, she tricked him into signing a high-value personal accident insurance policy.
Then, just yesterday, she seized the opportunity and gave "A Zhe" a mixed dose of drugs far exceeding the safe limit, creating the illusion of "food poisoning." Her attempt was to both eliminate her companion who might expose her and defraud a huge insurance payout—killing two birds with one stone!
His cruelty and meticulousness are appalling!
Now, with irrefutable evidence, she will face severe legal punishment.
Su Xiaonuan finally escaped completely from this meticulously planned frame-up.
That day, the case of framing Su Xiaonuan for "poisoning" finally came to a close with the confession of the woman—Dora's former best friend, named Li Li—and the supplementary key evidence provided by Han Ming.
All suspicions clearly pointed to an insurance fraud scheme orchestrated by Li Li and her deceased fiancé, "A Zhe Movie Commentary," and Su Xiaonuan was completely cleared of suspicion.
After completing the necessary formalities, it was still early, not even 4 p.m.
Su Xiaonuan then said goodbye to Lu Zheng, Qin Haoran and the others, planning to go home with An Ran to rest and recharge for their evening stall business.
Just as they were about to walk out of the police station, Qin Haoran hurriedly chased after them, a hint of helplessness on his face: "Little Nuan, wait. That Li Li inside is insisting on seeing you, saying she has something to say to you in person."
Upon hearing this, Su Xiaonuan's delicate brows immediately furrowed.
To see that heartless woman?
She instinctively wanted to refuse.
I feel uncomfortable even saying a single word to this kind of person.
But then I thought, meeting him doesn't seem like such a big deal.
She was also a little curious: at this point, what other tricks did that woman want to play?
After a moment's hesitation, Su Xiaonuan nodded: "Okay, I'll go see her."
An Ran was a little worried and wanted to follow, but Su Xiaonuan reassured her with her eyes.
Qin Haoran led Su Xiaonuan back to that familiar, oppressive interrogation room.
Li Li, handcuffed, sat in the interrogation chair. Her once exquisite makeup was now ruined, her hair was disheveled, and her eyes, unlike the frenzied ones outside, now held a quiet stillness and... an indescribable eeriness.
Seeing Su Xiaonuan enter, she raised her head, and a mocking smile, full of malice, appeared on her lips.
"Heh..." She let out a hoarse chuckle, her gaze like a poisoned needle, fixed on Su Xiaonuan's face. "No wonder... no wonder you were classified as a 'red category'... I'm just unlucky to have fallen into your hands, I accept it."
"Red label"!
These four words, like a thunderclap, rang in Su Xiaonuan's ears once again!
Her heart skipped a beat, and a chill instantly ran from the soles of her feet up her spine!
She suppressed the turmoil in her heart, immediately stepped forward, her sharp gaze fixed on Li Li, her voice demanding and unwavering:
"What 'red category'? Explain yourself! Who drew it? What does it mean?!"
Li Li just stared at her, laughing softly and continuously. The laughter echoed in the empty interrogation room, sounding particularly eerie.
She stopped answering Su Xiaonuan's questions, as if her previous words were merely the bitter murmurs of her dying moments. After laughing a few times, she suddenly turned to the police officer in charge of the interrogation and said:
“I plead guilty. I confess to everything. Now you can convict me.”
Her tone was unusually calm, a stark contrast to her previous manic behavior.
"Let her go."
The young policeman in charge of taking notes had only asked Su Xiaonuan to come because Li Li was adamant and claimed she wouldn't confess until she saw Su Xiaonuan.
Now that Li Li has readily confessed, his mission is considered complete. As for Li Li's nonsensical remark just now, although it sounded strange, it was clearly outside his interrogation outline and scope of duties.
