Chapter 176 Reopening the Case
"Well, sister-in-law, what do you want to say to me?"
Yue Hang treated Xia Xian in a friendly manner, unlike last time when he even called her "sister-in-law".
"No, you'd better not call me your sister-in-law. I can't bear it."
Xia Xian refused this title. She had a cold face and it was obvious that she had treated Yue Hangyi as a jinx.
"Okay, Xia Xian, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"I'm really sorry about Quan Ruifeng's situation. I had no intention of dragging him into this, but since it's already like this, I promise that nothing will happen to him. I'll let him out within three days. I'll keep my word, okay?"
Yue Hang patiently comforted Xia Xian and repeated these words again.
But Xia Xian didn't want to hear this.
"I believe him. He won't lie to me. If he says it's okay, it's okay. That's not why I came to you."
"Quan Ruifeng is willing to risk his life to help you. I believe you know exactly what kind of person he is. He also told me about your fiancée. I know you are in pain, but this is no reason to hurt Quan Ruifeng and let him bear these bad reputations for no reason."
"I hope that after this matter is over, you can give us another chance to investigate what happened back then and completely clear Quan Ruifeng of the charges. I don't want him to feel guilty when he thinks about this matter, or even think that he really did something."
"You are mentally abusing him!"
Xia Xian felt indignant for Quan Ruifeng. He was obviously innocent in this matter, but he had to endure all this. The incident with Yue Hangyi's fiancée was so similar to this incident!
It’s just that this time everyone believed him, but not last time!
Yue Hang was silent for a while when he heard this, as if he didn't expect Xia Xian to say this.
But after a while, he nodded and agreed.
"Okay, everything from that time is still preserved, nothing is lost. If you want to investigate, you can come anytime. I will cooperate with whatever you want to know."
He just couldn't forget what happened back then. Perhaps if he could find out the result, he could resolve the knot in his heart and gradually let it go.
Yue Hangyi also wanted to know the truth, no less than Quan Ruifeng!
"That's settled then."
Xia Xian nodded, and the two made an agreement. She didn't say anything more, just turned around and went back. She and Yue Hangyi had nothing to say to each other.
"Wife, what did you say to him?"
When Xia Xian came back, Quan Ruifeng raised his eyebrows and asked curiously.
"Why, are you afraid that I will bully him?"
Xia Xian glanced at Quan Ruifeng, and Quan Ruifeng quickly denied it.
"How is that possible? It would be his honor to be bullied by you. I'm mainly worried that he won't be able to speak and will make you angry."
"Really?"
"Of course! I will definitely stand by you unconditionally. I know you are doing this to protect me!"
"Nothing is more important than my wife, not to mention a mere childhood friend. How can he compare to you!"
Quan Ruifeng said seriously, almost saying that Yue Hang was not even worthy of carrying Xia Xian's shoes.
Xia Xian was quite satisfied with the three words "former childhood friend" and she finally smiled.
"You better be."
"Remember what you said."
Quan Ruifeng naturally said that it was no problem!
It was not convenient for him to go out now. After all, this was a detention room. The smell in the room was not pleasant and it was not big. It was a bit cramped for four people to squeeze in. Having seen it all, Quan Ruifeng urged them to go home.
"Go home and wait for me."
"OK."
There was nothing much that everyone could do here. Mainly because Quan Ruifeng was not suffering too much here, they were relieved and could only go back first.
However, Xia Xian did not return to school, but took a leave of absence to wait for news at home, as did Chen You and Zhou Xingshi.
Yao Runfei finally waited for Xia Xian to come back from abroad, but it happened to be the weekend and she went home. Okay, let's wait.
But when Monday came she still hadn't returned to school. When I asked the teacher, I found out that she had taken a leave!
Why did she ask for leave? Did she know that she wanted to pester her, so she asked for leave in advance to avoid her? Could she have foreseen the future?
Of course that wasn't possible, and she didn't have that much power to make Xia Xian hide from her.
Xia Xian didn't know that someone at school was looking forward to her. She was waiting for news from Quan Ruifeng at home. In order to divert her attention and stop worrying, she first went to borrow Tao Ruxin's file.
Tao Ruxin is Yue Hangyi’s fiancée. The case was reported to the police that year, so there is naturally a file record.
In addition, Xia Xian also asked Shen You and Zhou Xingshi.
"Are you two familiar with her and Yue Hang?"
Actually, neither of them mentioned Yue Hangyi at all. They were like strangers and it seemed like they were not familiar with each other at all. It didn't seem like they had a falling out, but that was indeed the case.
"Not very familiar with each other. Although we are childhood friends, we didn't know each other since birth. Youyou moved here when she was ten, and I when I was seven. Ruifeng and Yue Hangyi were born here, so they knew each other earlier. Yue Hangyi is a few years older than us and more mature. He thinks I am childish. Youyou is a girl, so she only likes to play with Ruifeng. They are more familiar with each other, so we are fine. We call each other brother when we meet."
"Youyou and I did meet his fiancée once. She came to look for Ruifeng. I only know that she looked quite lively, but I don't know much else about her."
"When that incident happened, Youyou and I helped Ruifeng look for evidence, but there was no verification. The most important thing was the notebook, but we couldn't find it either. It's strange."
"She didn't have the hobby of hiding her notes. They were all piled up on the table in her room, and she just lost the most recent one."
"In the end, it was confirmed that she fell into the water and drowned, and murder was ruled out. However, it is unclear whether she wanted to elope with Ruifeng. They both have their own opinions."
"In the end, the two families fell out, and the matter became an unsolved case."
Zhou Xingshi shook his head, quite sad. He originally thought that Quan Ruifeng and Yue Hang would never have any contact with each other again, but who knew that they would still be in contact with each other. Quan Ruifeng was even cheated for helping him and was involved in those things again.
Apart from anything else, Zhou Xingshi and Xia Xian had the same feeling, that Yue Hangyi might be able to defeat Quan Ruifeng!
"That's basically it. We dug deep into the ground to find the key notebook, but we couldn't find it. Now that so many years have passed, it's going to be extremely difficult to find it again."
Shen You said objectively, and it was not meant to hit her.
However, Xia Xian integrated the information she knew and found a place where the notebook might be!
"Do you think this notebook will..."
