Uncle Chen looked at Fang Ya. “You need the car?”
“Yes!” Fang Ya nodded heavily.
Uncle Chen immediately put down his wine glass, then picked up his clothes and keys. “Let’s go!”
Uncle Chen had never refused Fang Ya’s request.
Fang Ya was a generous person. She would always give more than others when it came to far bigger matters than the use of a car.
Uncle Chen did not care about the few dollars, but it was always better than bargaining.
Fang Ya pulled Shao Xiang into Uncle Chen’s beat-up car. After giving the address, she started thinking about how to explain things to Shao Xiang.
Shao Xiang remained silent.
She did not dare to ask further.
For Fang Ya to be in such a hurry, it must be a big deal.
For her to be brought along only meant that this matter was related to her.
Shao Xiang was nervous.
The only thing she could think of now was that something had happened to Wu Wei!
Shao Xiang was worried and her hands were tightly clasped together.
Fang Ya could see Shao Xiang’s nervousness.
She reached out and held Shao Xiang’s trembling hand.
“Mom, listen to me. It’s like this.” Fang Ya held Shao Xiang’s hand and said, “Wu Wei is currently at the police station.”
“Police station?” Shao Xiang looked at Fang Ya with some panic in her eyes.
Fang Ya nodded and continued, “He has been accused of… murder!”
As Fang Ya said that, her gaze was fixed on Shao Xiang’s face.
Sure enough, Shao Xiang’s face instantly turned pale. “Murder? How is that possible! It’s impossible for him to kill someone! He’s very timid!”
Shao Xiang tried her best to justify Wu Wei, but she did not know what else to say.
Fang Ya patted Shao Xiang’s hand comfortingly. “Don’t worry! I also believe that he won’t kill anyone.”
“The police is only holding him to have him assist in the investigation,” Fang Ya said as she reached out and gently pulled Shao Xiang’s slightly trembling body into her arms.
“He Feng will help him out,” Fang Ya continued.
“Let’s go over and take a look at the situation first,” Fang Ya said, wanting Shao Xiang not to worry too much.
Shao Xiang nodded, not knowing what to say.
“Also, the police called, hoping that we can assist in the investigation,” Fang Ya continued.
“The police said that we were involved in the supposed alibi provided by Wu Wei, so they hope that we can explain the situation,” Fang Ya said, her eyes flashing slightly. No one knew what she was thinking.
“That means we can attest for Wu Wei? Is that what you mean?” Shao Xiang suddenly raised her head and looked at Fang Ya expectantly.
“Let’s go and take a look at the situation first, then we’ll talk!” Fang Ya pursed her lips at Shao Xiang and did not give a definite answer.
Shao Xiang did not know what this meant, and her brows furrowed even more tightly.
Uncle Chen drove all the way to the police station.
Fang Ya gave Uncle Chen 100 yuan and said to Uncle Chen, “Uncle, I might end up using the car quite heavily, so I’ll give you this money first.”
Uncle Chen took the 100 yuan and was extremely happy. He said to Fang Ya, “Don’t worry, don’t worry! Call me anytime!”
Fang Ya nodded and said, “You can go first. We’ll call your houseline when we’re about to leave.”
“Okay, okay!” Uncle Chen happily took the money and rushed home.
He had to tell this good news to his wife!
100 yuan!
How many baskets would he have to sell to match that!
Fang Ya supported Shao Xiang all the way to the police station. After identifying herself, she was arranged to wait in a small room.
Soon, two policemen came in and verified the identities of Fang Ya and Shao Xiang.
Fang Ya looked at one of the policemen who looked slightly familiar, but she could not remember where she had seen him before.
Shao Xiang looked at the policeman with tears in her eyes. “Excuse me, did Wu Wei commit a crime? It’s impossible for him! He’s very timid!”
Shao Xiang grabbed the policeman’s hand and spoke as her tears flowed uncontrollably.
The policeman pulled himself free from Shao Xiang’s hand and said, “Whether he’s guilty or not, we will get down to the truth!
“I called you here today to verify some information!” The policeman said, took a notebook and sat down, and began to record their statements.
