"So Officer Xu wants to say that I was the one who asked Qing Shushu to enter that room?
Tang Muyan's peach blossom eyes curved, and she leaned back, leaning leisurely against the head of the bed, with the corners of her lips raised.
"No," Xu Xingzhi paused, closed the document in his hand, and looked directly into Tang Muyan's eyes. "I want to ask Miss Tang why you went to that floor, and why the victim Qing Shushu stopped you? What is your relationship with the victim Qing Shushu?"
Tang Muyan frowned at first, "Officer Xu, why are you asking so many questions?"
She lowered her head and played with the ends of her hair with her fingertips. Then, she raised her eyelids with a slightly innocent look in her eyes. "I don't know which one to answer?"
Xu Xingzhi responded with an official smile, "Ms. Tang, it doesn't matter which one you answer first."
This woman is quite good at pretending. Xu Xingzhi sneered in his heart but remained calm on the surface.
Tang Muyan pretended to think for a moment, "Actually, Qing Shushu and I don't have any relationship. If there must be some relationship, it can only be that she is jealous that I am prettier than her."
As she spoke, she threw a coquettish glance at Xu Xingzhi.
Xu Xingzhi coughed awkwardly, and his face felt slightly hot.
Tang Muyan suppressed her smile, "As for why she stopped me, you should ask her, right? Officer Xu."
Xu Xingzhi intentionally avoided looking at Tang Muyan, the tip of the pen in his hand trembling a little. He said, "I have another question? Miss Tang didn't answer."
Tang Muyan noticed Xu Xingzhi's abnormality and couldn't help but sneer in her heart, all men are the same.
It's just a glance, and your mind is wandering?
"You asked too many questions. I can't remember them all. Officer Xu, please repeat them again."
Xu Xingzhi is still very dedicated. He always keeps his work in mind. "Why is Miss Tang going to that floor?"
"Caught an adulterer." Tang Muyan answered straightforwardly.
Xu Xingzhi was obviously stunned for a moment, and then continued to ask,
"Whose adultery is this?"
"Officer Xu, didn't you read the Weibo post that day?" Seeing his puzzled expression, Tang Muyan continued, "It's about that melon in Qi Zhen. Don't you police officers pay attention to hot news?"
Xu Xingzhi did hear about it, but he was not interested in such gossip about rich people, so he didn't pay attention to it.
"At that time, Qi Zhen's room was next to the one Qing Shushu was going to."
When Tang Muyan said this, Xu Xingzhi narrowed his eyes and said, "How did you know? Qi Zhen's room is right next to Qing Shushu's."
Although Tang Muyan is very good at lying, she does not intend to tell a lie this time, because if she is caught lying here, she will go to jail.
"His brother Qi Wang told me. Can you verify it?"
"What is your relationship with Qi Zhen? Why did you go to catch an adulterer?"
"This doesn't seem to have much to do with Qing Shushu's case, right? Or is it——"
Tang Muyan deliberately slowed down her tone.
"Officer Xu, are you interested in me and want to know my personal problems?"
The corners of her eyes slightly raised,
"If so? Officer Xu can ask anything."
Xu Xingzhi was speechless.
Having said that, Xu Xingzhi naturally didn't want to ask any other questions.
The policeman who was taking notes nearby heard this and looked at Xu Xingzhi blankly, "Officer Xu, do you want to write this down too?"
"What do you think, Officer Chen?" Xu Xingzhi bit his back teeth and smiled back.
Officer Chen pushed his glasses and said, "I understand."
Xu Xingzhi's attention returned to Tang Muyan again, "Then let's get back to the case itself. Miss Tang, can you repeat your conversation with Qing Shushu?"
"Of course," Tang Muyan thought she was still cooperating with the police. "That day I went to investigate the situation on the fourth floor, and then I accidentally met Qing Shushu. She stopped me and wouldn't let me leave..."
Tang Muyan roughly repeated what happened that day, but she couldn't remember the details. She was so busy with Huo Ning's instructions at the time that she didn't have time to remember what Qing Shushu said.
But during the conversation, she mentioned Lu Huaichen's name intentionally or unintentionally.
She also discovered that whenever she mentioned Lu Huaichen, Xu Xingzhi's eyebrows would frown.
Xu Xingzhi asked, "Miss Tang wants us to investigate Lu Huaichen?"
'Yes, that's what I mean.'
"And I seriously suspect that Lu Huaichen was intentionally throwing this dirty water on me."
Tang Muyan just sorted out her thoughts. Why was Qing Shushu's room right next to Qi Zhen's room? Why did Qing Shushu clearly say that it was Lu Huaichen's room, but Lu Huaichen appeared downstairs?
And why did Qing Shushu bump into her when she went upstairs? How could it be such a coincidence?
This must have been planned by Lu Huaichen!
"Lu Huaichen is definitely trying to kill two birds with one stone. Not only does he want to cripple Qing Shushu, he also wants to drag me down with him to take the blame."
'I will never let you succeed.'
"This is your police business. What does it have to do with me?" Tang Muyan's tone was still quite serious.
Not only is it rigorous, but it is also not deceptive.
Xu Xingzhi now has a new respect for Tang Muyan. He originally thought that this woman was just a pretty face, but he didn't expect her to be so difficult to deal with?
"Ms. Tang, one last question. What is your relationship with Lu Huaichen that Qing Shushu mentioned?"
Tang Muyan said without hesitation, "Ex-husband."
Xu Xingzhi suddenly realized.
That would explain everything.
Why did Lu Huaichen come to see Tang Muyan yesterday instead of Qing Shushu?
Also, why did Qing Shushu provoke Tang Muyan before entering the room?
The logic of all this makes perfect sense, but Tang Muyan's words cannot be fully believed.
"Ms. Tang should understand the law. If you deliberately conceal or lie when the police are questioning you, you should know the consequences."
"Every word I said is true. If there is any adulteration, I am willing to bear the legal responsibility for it."
Tang Muyan also made her attitude clear.
The two looked at each other, and Xu Xingzhi tried to see something from the other's eyes. Her eyes were sparkling and honest without any impurities.
Xu Xingzhi ended up with nothing.
He left the ward, and now his suspicion against Tang Muyan had been completely cleared.
Qing Shushu is still in a coma, and the progress of this case seems to be a little slow.
When his thoughts were in a mess, a familiar and steady voice came from behind him, "Officer Xu."
He looked behind him and saw a man holding a lighter in his hand. The lid was opened and a crisp sound echoed in the hospital corridor. Flames jumped out of it and his deep eyes stared at the flames.
His fingertips slowly slid across the wall of the lighter and then closed it. The man raised his eyelids and looked at Xu Xingzhi, "Let's talk?"
