Chapter 673: Joyful Eyebrows
The police frowned and said in a more serious tone, "Ms. Cheng, please be more careful with your words!"
Cheng Shumin sneered and was about to continue cursing when the door of the interrogation room was pushed open and a policeman walked in with a lawyer.
"Hello, I'm Ms. Cheng's lawyer. I'll be present for the rest of her transcript."
…
Police station lobby.
Huo Yiyi sat on a chair in the corridor, tears streaming down her face.
She couldn't help but feel sad when she thought about Huo Jinsong leaving without even saying a word.
When she was a child, Cheng Shumin was very strict with her and did not allow her to go out to play or eat outside food. Although Huo Jinsong was very busy at work, he would take her and Huo Yunting out to play whenever he had time.
The beautiful memories of the past flashed through her mind, and each one hurt Huo Yiyi's heart.
Suddenly, a tall figure sat down next to him.
Huo Yiyi turned to look at Huo Yunting, "Brother, I will never have a father again..."
Huo Yunting patted her shoulder and said in a deep voice, "It's okay. You still have me. I will always be your support."
Huo Yi leaned on his shoulder and cried loudly, her heart filled with despair.
Huo Yunting didn't say anything, but just patted Huo Yiyi's shoulder silently.
Gradually, Huo Yiyi's emotions gradually stabilized.
Knowing that she had finally accepted Huo Jinsong's death, Huo Yunting handed her a few pieces of paper and said in a deep voice, "What you said to Xiao Muzhen just now was hurtful and excessive. Find a chance to apologize to her."
Huo Yiyi wiped her tears and lowered her eyes and said, "I don't want to go."
"You want to lose this friend completely? Just because of your speculation?"
Seeing that the tissue in her hand was crumpled, Huo Yunting softened his voice, "She went to Qida to see Tang Ruxing. I don't know why Mom and Dad were there. Who was responsible for Dad's death? I think you should wait for Mom to come out and ask her."
Huo Yiyi was silent for a while, then looked up at Huo Yunting.
"If the investigation results have nothing to do with her, I will go and apologize to her."
But things between them are destined to never go back to the way they were before.
Judging from Xiao Muzhen’s reaction, was it really impossible to save Huo Jinsong at that time?
She knew she shouldn't think like that, but she couldn't help it.
Once there is a crack in friendship, it is difficult to repair it to its original state.
Huo Yunting didn't say anything else. Huo Yiyi was now immersed in sadness and couldn't hear anything he said.
Not long after, the lawyer came out of the interrogation room with a somewhat grim look on his face.
"Mr. Huo, Ms. Cheng insists that your father was killed by Xiao Muzhen, and she refuses to admit it no matter how much I try to persuade her."
Huo Yunting frowned, a hint of disgust flashing in his eyes.
When Cheng Shumin stopped his car and said that Xiao Muzhen had killed Huo Tianyi, he didn't intend to care about her anymore.
I didn’t expect that he would not give up even after killing Huo Jinsong.
"Did she say why she wanted to go to Qida?"
The lawyer shook his head. "No, she refuses to tell me, and there's nothing I can do."
Huo Yunting stood up and said coldly, "In that case, don't worry about her. Let her stay in the police station for a few days to sober up."
Seeing Huo Yunting about to leave, Huo Yiyi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up: "Brother, Mom is alone now... and tomorrow is Dad's funeral. If she doesn't even attend Dad's funeral, she will definitely regret it for the rest of her life..."
"So what do you want me to do?"
Huo Yiyi stood up and said, "I'll go talk to her."
When she walked into the interrogation room and saw Cheng Shumin's red eyes and extremely embarrassed appearance, tears welled up in Huo Yiyi's eyes again.
"mom……"
"Why are you here?"
Huo Yiyi sat down opposite her and said with a sob, "Dad's funeral is tomorrow. Tell the truth to the police, otherwise you may not even be able to attend Dad's funeral..."
In fact, Huo Yiyi also knew that no matter how much Xiao Muzhen hated Cheng Shumin, he would not push Huo Jinsong off the roof, so what Cheng Shumin said was just to frame Xiao Muzhen.
Cheng Shumin was stunned for a moment, then sneered, "Did Huo Yunting ask you to come? He thought I would let Xiao Muzhen go just by threatening me with your father's funeral?!"
"It has nothing to do with him. I just wanted to talk to you. The police have already investigated. Based on the traces at the scene, it's impossible for Xiao Muzhen to push Dad down the stairs. It's useless for you to continue to frame her."
Hearing this, a look of disbelief flashed across Cheng Shumin's eyes.
"So...your dad died in vain?!"
"But my dad fell off the roof to save you... and what were you and Dad doing on the rooftop of Qida?!"
Meeting Huo Yiyi's questioning gaze, Cheng Shumin felt guilty and looked away awkwardly.
"This is my business. It has nothing to do with your father's death."
Huo Yiyi bit her lower lip and finally couldn't help but said angrily: "Do you think I will believe this?! Mom, don't force me to investigate you!"
As long as she wanted to find out, she would soon find out what Cheng Shumin's purpose was in going to Qida.
"Huo Yiyi, I'm your mother. You don't believe me and you want to investigate me?!"
Seeing that he couldn't convince her, Huo Yiyi stood up and said, "My brother is ready to leave you alone. Tell the truth and go back with us so that we can take care of my father's funeral together tomorrow. Or tell a lie and be detained at the police station, where you can't even see my father for the last time. It's your choice."
"Are you threatening me?!"
Huo Yiyi didn't look at her again, turned around and left. Cheng Shumin's angry voice came from behind her.
"Huo Yiyi! Come back here! You are not allowed to hold the funeral before I leave!"
However, Huo Yiyi left without looking back.
She also had some resentment towards Cheng Shumin. She knew very well that Cheng Shumin had an unshirkable responsibility for Huo Jinsong's death.
After leaving the interrogation room, Huo Yiyi said to Huo Yunting calmly, "She's still unwilling to tell the truth. Let's go."
Huo Yunting didn't say anything, just nodded and turned to leave.
As soon as the two arrived at the funeral home, they received a call from their lawyer.
"Mr. Huo, Ms. Cheng told the truth. The transcript has been completed. I'll drive her here now."
Huo Yunting's expression was cold, and his face showed no change in emotion.
"Um."
When Cheng Shumin got out of the lawyer's car and saw the words "Funeral Home" in front of her, she staggered.
The lawyer next to her supported her and whispered, "Ms. Cheng, I'm sorry."
Cheng Shumin didn't say anything, pushed his hand away and walked slowly inside, her back revealing sadness.
The lawyer shook his head helplessly, turned around, got into the car and left.
When I walked into the funeral home, I happened to meet Huo Yunting coming out holding Huo Jinsong's urn.
Her eyes turned cold and she quickly stepped forward to snatch the urn from Huo Yunting.
"Give it to me! You're not worthy of being his son! Give me back his ashes!"
Huo Yiyi stepped forward and grabbed her, "Mom, are you crazy?! Dad is dead, and you won't let him rest in peace?!"
