"A murder case?" Shi Xi asked, "You...you must have made a mistake. What murder case?"
One of the police officers produced an arrest warrant and said, "Last night, someone reported finding a body. The victim's name was Hua Ru. According to our investigation, you had some conflicts with her. Did you go to see her after school the day before yesterday?"
Shi Xi truthfully replied, "We did have some conflicts. Knowing that I have a heart condition, she used her position in the student council to force me to sign up for the long-distance race. Then, the day before yesterday, I found her after school and asked her to run the 3,000 meters as well."
Upon hearing this, Teacher Liu Li realized that the incident at the last sports meet was caused by Hua Ru. However, Shi Xi had a conflict with Hua Ru, and now that Hua Ru was dead, this was a real problem.
An older policeman said menacingly, "If you have something to say, come to the station."
He took out a pair of handcuffs from his waist and intended to cuff Shi Xi's wrists.
These rich heiresses are arrogant and have no moral bottom line. They look quite well-behaved, but I never expected them to kill someone over such a trivial matter.
Di Shi stood guard beside Shi Xi, having already sent a message to Di Chenxiao.
If they asked Shi Xi to cooperate with the investigation, he would go with her, but handcuffing her was going too far.
Di Shi pulled Shi Xi back a step, then stepped forward and stood in front of her, his eyes filled with murderous intent as he looked at the handcuffed policeman. "You said you wanted to ask her to come back to cooperate with your investigation, so isn't it a bit excessive to take out handcuffs?"
The other three police officers also felt that the older officer had gone too far, after all, Shi Xi was still a high school student, and it would have a bad influence if her classmates saw it.
However, the older policeman, named Li Lei, was their leader. He had a strong resentment towards the rich and hated wealthy people the most.
In fact, every poor person harbors some resentment towards the rich, but none as obviously as Li Lei.
Li Lei sneered, "What, Shi Xi, are you going to resist arrest?"
Shi Xi pulled Di Shi's hand away as he tried to hit someone, staring at Li Lei with a half-smile, "Resisting arrest? Ha—, didn't you just say you wanted me to come back to assist with the investigation? Now you're using such sensitive words."
With two "click" sounds, a pair of handcuffs appeared on Shi Xi's hands.
Shi Xi glanced thoughtfully at the extra metal on her wrist, then chuckled softly, "Let's go!"
Li Lei stepped forward, trying to pin Shi Xi down, but Shi Xi took two steps forward and dodged Li Lei's claws.
Shi Xi: "I'll walk by myself, don't touch me. A Shi, call my older brother and Xiao Xiao and tell them to go to the police station to bail me out."
Di Shi stared at Shi Xi expressionlessly, his tightly clenched hands betraying his worry.
She smiled sweetly and said nonchalantly, "Ashi, don't worry, I'll be out soon."
Teacher Liu Li took off his coat, blocked Shi Xi's steps, covered Shi Xi's hands with the coat, and said, "Shi Xi, don't be afraid. I believe you are innocent. But people can talk, so don't let others see you wearing this."
With a dark expression, Li Lei ripped the coat off Shi Xi's hand and threw it to Liu Li, saying, "Don't delay the police investigation."
Shi Xi said with a sullen face, "Thank you, Teacher Liu. Please put on your coat so you don't catch a cold. I prefer the aftermath to the fear of what people will say beforehand..."
Shi Xi didn't say the words "apologize" or "slap him in the face," but just gave Li Lei a meaningful look.
Shi Xi brazenly walked downstairs in handcuffs and got into a police car to go to the Public Security Bureau.
Everyone must take responsibility for their mistakes and words. Since Li Lei openly used his position to target Shi Xi, Shi Xi will not let him off easily.
Since it was during the morning self-study period, there were very few students outside the campus, but there were still a few.
For a time, Shi Xi became a hot topic of discussion on the campus network once again.
