Chapter 149 You still want to get beaten up, don't you? Your face doesn't hurt anymore?
Li Qing and Fang Yuan's expressions tightened, and they instinctively grasped each other's hands.
Fang Yuan's palms were sweating profusely as she looked at the police officers with panic and fear.
Li Qing's heart was pounding, as if she had a wild cat scratching at her heart.
What to do... I should never have done this kind of thing with Fang Yuan.
No, that can't be... Fang Yuan took the bleach from the bathroom and poured it into the water glass.
Did Fang Yuan wear disposable gloves at the time?
Li Qing suddenly became unsure.
She wanted to ask Fang Yuan if he had left any fingerprints, but the police had already approached, and she dared not utter a sound, much less ask such a sensitive question.
Fang Yuan felt a chill run down her spine. She realized she had been too impulsive; how could she have believed Li Qing's nonsense and poured bleach into the cup...
She seemed to have acted on impulse, as if she had a sudden urge, and did just that.
But then she thought again, no! It was all because Xia Mian provoked her!
If Xia Mian hadn't provoked her first, would she have done such a thing? And even if she did, so what?
Xia Mian hit her again! Dad, why aren't you here yet?
When Dad comes, I'll make him teach Xia Mian a lesson.
Fang Yuan glared fiercely at Xia Mian on the chair opposite him.
The girl remained calm, seemingly unaware of her gaze, and simply sat quietly in the chair.
Xia Mian stood up when the police approached. "Have you gotten the results after the cup and water were sent for testing?"
The policewoman immediately replied gently, "Xia, we sent it for testing overnight. My colleagues worked an extra night shift, and the results are in."
Upon hearing the results, Fang Yuan and Li Qing exchanged a glance, both seeing fear and unease in each other's eyes.
Fang Yuan mustered her courage and asked the policewoman, "Excuse me, what was the result?"
The policewoman took the report from her colleague and opened it. "Xia Mian's fingerprints were not detected on any of the three cups."
“She might have worn gloves, or she might have wiped the water glass again after committing the crime!” Fang Yuan said sharply, her expression sinister. “Since she did such a vicious thing, she must have made thorough preparations.”
"Fang, please calm down." The policewoman looked down at the report again. "Xu Meimei's water cup has her fingerprints, and the other two water cups also have Fang Yuan's and Li Qing's fingerprints. Since they are your water cups, it is normal to have your fingerprints on them."
Upon hearing the policewoman's words, Fang Yuan and Li Qing both quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fang Yuan remembers that she was wearing disposable gloves at the time.
Therefore, Xu Meimei's fingerprints wouldn't be left on her water glass; she was extremely cautious.
The male police officer next to him had bloodshot eyes from working overtime all night.
He looked agitated as he sized up the three girls in front of him.
"One of you three must be the murderer!"
"The murderer is among you."
Hearing his agitated tone, the policewoman quickly introduced him, "This is our department's trace evidence expert. He's very professional at finding criminal traces and evidence."
The forensic expert looked exhausted. He couldn't understand why Fu Yanshen had to involve him in such a minor case! He was thrown into this small police station overnight to work himself to the bone!
"Have you found any evidence?" Xia Mian looked at the young and handsome forensic expert. He was tall and handsome, the kind of sunny and good-looking man.
But at this moment, his face was gloomy, devoid of any sunshine, and he exuded an inexplicable irritability.
That makes sense; anyone would be irritable if they worked overtime all night.
"I won't tell you!" Qin Heyao paused noticeably, then her expression turned fierce again. "Don't think you can get anything out of me."
"Fine, I'm not the murderer anyway." Xia Mian gave Li Qing and Fang Yuan, the two girls huddled together, a meaningful look. "The one who should be scared now is the murderer."
Li Qing's face was deathly pale. "No way," he thought, "many experts are fake; they don't have any real skills."
Those so-called experts who expose frauds online every day, this so-called trace evidence expert is so young, he might just be here to coast along.
Fang Yuan tugged at the corner of her lips, her cheeks still red, swollen, and painful. Any exaggerated facial expression she made would aggravate her wounds.
She had heard of forensic doctors and criminal psychology experts, but this was the first time she had ever heard of a trace evidence expert working in a police station. It sounded very unreliable.
So she was somewhat dismissive.
Furthermore, the trace evidence expert seemed to be deliberately keeping everyone in suspense, refusing to say anything, which made Fang Yuan even more convinced that it was a scam!
He's a scammer!
He had absolutely no evidence.
Fang Yuan finally relaxed a little. She glanced at Xia Mian and said, "You are the murderer. You can't escape. You wicked devil."
"Looks like your face doesn't hurt anymore, right?" Xia Mian said casually.
The words she spoke made Fang Yuan's face sting, and she felt her swollen wound hurt even more!
Xu Meimei's father still had a gloomy face, coldly watching the police communicate with the three girls.
He bought several Didi cars and then sublet them to several drivers.
Although my family isn't extremely wealthy, we can still make ends meet.
The eldest son is already working and usually dotes on his youngest daughter, Xu Meimei.
However, because he was too busy with work and his wife was also busy, their daughter became somewhat timid.
There were no patriarchal ideas in the family. After hearing about his daughter's mistreatment last night, he drove his wife to Mingcheng overnight.
Now, seeing Xia Mian and the other two, he wished he could make all three girls drink the bleach.
He believed this was school bullying, that his daughter was easy to bully!
"You can't say who the murderer is either, right? I think we should lock all three of them up! Investigate them thoroughly! Interrogate them by force!"
Qin Heyao looked at him speechlessly, "Family of the victim, I'm sorry, your suggestion is impossible."
"This is impossible, that is impossible! Are we just going to watch the real murderer go free? Are we just going to watch my daughter suffer?" Mr. Xu became increasingly angry as he spoke. "Has all the suffering my daughter has endured been for nothing?"
"Mr. Xu, please...please calm down, okay? We are already investigating very actively," the policewoman immediately reassured him. "The truth will definitely come out soon."
"Everything you're saying is utter nonsense!" Mr. Xu was extremely agitated.
Just as he was shouting and yelling, suddenly!
Two squads of well-trained soldiers in green uniforms charged in.
The man's tall and imposing body was encased in a crisp military uniform, which accentuated his broad shoulders and narrow waist.
His features are handsome and well-defined, with a smooth and powerful jawline, but his eyes are cold and sharp, as if one cannot hide from him at a glance!
The powerful aura startled everyone present!
