Chapter 167: Can the truth be bought with money?
Li Xu's shop is also open as usual.
After all, Shen Mei’s car accident was not caused by her, and she and Shen Mei had no relationship, and they even had a grudge against each other.
Being able to call 120 and 110 for her in time was already the best I could do.
As for the hospital and the police, Li Xu no longer paid attention to them.
But on the third day, the police came again.
It’s the same two policemen from last time.
There were no customers in the store, so Li Xu stood up quickly and said, "Two officers!"
The short policeman said seriously, "Thank you for calling the police and the hospital that day, but unfortunately the patient could not be saved. He died that night and his family has taken his body away."
Chen Mei is dead? Li Xu was stunned for a moment, then looked at the two policemen and said politely, "This is what we should do."
The tall policeman nodded: "It's good that you have this awareness. This time, I came not only to tell you this news, but also to ask you for another favor!"
Li Xu quickly said, "Just tell me, officers. I will definitely help if I can!"
"The perpetrator has been found. You are an eyewitness at the scene. We came here to ask you to identify him and see if he is this person!" The police put the photo in front of Li Xu.
Li Xu looked at the person in the photo and looked at the policeman hesitantly: "It doesn't seem to be..."
The two policemen looked at each other, and then the taller policeman's expression became serious: "Look carefully, this man has admitted that he is the driver who caused the accident, and what he said about the situation at that time is almost the same as what you said!"
The short policeman also said: "Yes, if he was not the driver who caused the accident, how could he know so much about the situation at that time?"
Li Xu looked at the photos in the hands of the two policemen and whispered, "The two people look a bit similar, but..."
Halfway through his words, Li Xu suddenly reacted.
She looked up and looked at the expressions of the two policemen.
The expressions on both of their faces were very complicated, helpless, regretful, anxious...
Combined with the police's expression, everything gradually became clear.
This person took the initiative to admit that he was the driver who caused the accident, and he looked so similar to the real driver.
The truth of the matter is already very clear.
The real driver who caused the accident must have found a scapegoat after fleeing.
The real culprit must be from a wealthy family as he could afford such an expensive sports car.
As the saying goes, money makes the world go round. The real perpetrator must have offered the scapegoat an irresistible offer.
If her confession hadn't happened, everyone would be happy.
The real perpetrator used certain conditions to avoid prison, and the scapegoat also got what he wanted.
The police don’t have to worry about it, and Shen Mei’s relatives may even get a large sum of money.
The premise is, if there is no confession from her!
However, now she clearly knew that the person who confessed was not the real culprit. Was she really going to go against her conscience and do nothing?
Can the truth really be bought with money?
Although Chen Mei has a grudge against her, Chen Mei is not just Chen Mei.
This time it’s Shen Mei, who will it be next time?
After hesitating for a moment, Li Xu raised his head and said very seriously: "No, this person is not the culprit. The real culprit is someone else!"
Hearing what Li Xu said, the two policemen were a little surprised.
Among them, the short policeman whispered: "Did you really see it clearly? Did your children see it clearly at that time?"
When the policeman spoke, his eyes were always on Li Xu.
That look frightened Li Xu.
It wasn't just a question, it was more like a reminder, reminding her that she still had three children.
If the real culprit knew that it was she who provided the clues, it might be disadvantageous to them.
but……
"I believe in the police and the government. They will definitely restore the truth of the matter." Li Xu smiled slightly, "I am sure that this person is not the culprit."
The two policemen frowned slightly.
Surprise, appreciation, relief...
"Okay, we will report this clue and continue investigating this case. Thank you for your cooperation." The tall policeman said, "I'll leave you a phone number. If you have any questions or remember anything, call me."
Li Xu quickly found a piece of paper and the tall policeman wrote his phone number on it.
After the police left, Li Xu sat down on the chair feeling somewhat exhausted.
She didn't know if the decision she made was right, but she knew that if the children knew about it, they would be proud of him.
Thinking of this, Li Xu barely supported his body and called Zhang Kun.
However, when I called, the security guard said, "Master Zhang is not here today. He has gone out. Who are you? What can I do for Master Zhang?"
Li Xu asked curiously, "Do you know why he went out?"
"It seems to be related to the house he bought. He said he went out to do some business. We all have to eat by ourselves at noon!" said the security guard regretfully.
About the house? Did the landlord come back to hand over the property to him?
"If you need help from Master Zhang, wait until he comes back, I'll talk to him and call you back!"
Li Xu reacted immediately and said quickly: "No, no, thank you for your help."
If it was really about the house, Zhang Kun would definitely come.
Once he got to the house, could he just finish his work and leave?
I will definitely come and show my face!
Li Xu really guessed it right. Zhang Kun came over at around ten o'clock in the afternoon, almost eleven o'clock.
He was holding a transparent plastic bag containing a lot of documents.
His face was all red. After he came into the store, he put a bunch of keys on the cashier's counter and asked, "Guess what this is?"
"The key to the door opposite?" Li Xu asked in a low voice.
Zhang Kun nodded: "Yes, the landlord called me this morning and went with me to complete the remaining procedures. He also handed over the keys to me. This house is completely ours."
Listening to Zhang Kun's words, Li Xu smiled and said, "Congratulations."
But this smile was more or less mixed with some gloom.
Zhang Kun noticed it quickly and asked curiously, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
Li Xu hesitated for a moment, but still told Zhang Kun that the police had just visited.
"I'm just worried that if the other party finds out, they will come to trouble me."
The other party is a rich man, and she is just an ordinary person.
She raised her head and looked at Zhang Kun, who was frowning and looked very unhappy.
Li Xu's heart skipped a beat: Did Zhang Kun think that what she did was wrong?
"What's wrong? Did I do something wrong?" Li Xu spoke in a low voice, his voice a little nervous.
