Li Zi shook his head and said to Xia Chuyi, "The specific situation is still unclear, but someone called the police saying Xia Chengzong killed someone. Old Chang is interrogating him, and the commander asked me to notify you."
"I’ll go to the Police Station with you right now!" Xia Chuyi decisively said.
For some reason, she had a very bad feeling in her heart.
The two hurried to the Police Station, and on the way, Li Zi told her about what he knew of the case.
"The location is at... Oh, it’s where Xia Chengzu is currently living."
"What did you say?" She couldn’t quite believe it.
Xia Chengzu’s current residence, wasn’t that the one rented by Ding Qianqian?
Her mind raced, and she immediately asked, "What about Ding Qianqian? Did Ding Qianqian go back? If she went back..."
Before she finished speaking, Li Zi interrupted, "Little sister-in-law, the victim is her!"
"What?" Xia Chuyi’s footsteps faltered, and her mind became scrambled.
Her second brother and Ding Qianqian didn’t even know each other, let alone have any deep hatred; why would he kill her?!
The only connection between them was just that Ding Qianqian and Xia Chengzu were involved... Xia Chengzu!
A ludicrous possibility sprang to mind.
"The victim?" She thought of this keyword and hurriedly asked Li Zi, "Is Ding Qianqian not dead?"
Li Zi nodded and said, "Indeed, she’s not dead, she’s still being rescued."
"The assailant was pretty vicious, stabbing her several times, but because of inexperience, didn’t hit any vital spots."
"Got it." Having heard the details, Xia Chuyi’s expression turned even graver, feeling that her suspicions were increasingly likely.
When they arrived at the Police Station, Huo Shiqian was already waiting for her. As soon as he saw her, he extended his long arm and enveloped her entirely, whispering in her ear, "Don’t panic, I’m here."
The familiar embrace and warmth instantly provided her with support, and Xia Chuyi said to him, "Brother Shi Qian, you believe me, my second brother would never kill anyone, especially not Ding Qianqian! He doesn’t even know her!"
Huo Shiqian patted her back, his expression calm and his tone light, "I believe you."
His composure seemed to inject a powerful force into her heart, helping her gradually calm down.
She buried her head in his chest, took a deep breath, and then looked up to him, "I want to see my second brother."
Huo Shiqian nodded, stroking her hair with his fingertip and saying softly, "You can."
Then, he signaled to Chang Luhui.
Chang Luhui immediately stepped forward and introduced the situation to Xia Chuyi, "Currently, based on the traces at the scene of the crime, your second brother is a significant suspect..."
"But not too significant, because there were other people coming and going in that rented room, such as Xia Chengzu," Chang Luhui continued, "as well as Ding Qianqian’s so-called cousin Ma Ming—the accomplice in her scam."
"The most unfavorable fact now is that your second brother was the last one seen at that place... Also, after he was caught, he refused to say anything."
Being the last seen at the crime scene and remaining silent without saying anything undoubtedly gave the impression of tacit admission of guilt.
"Mhm." Xia Chuyi pursed her lips and nodded, signaling that she understood.
Huo Shiqian gently patted her, saying, "Go ahead, remember, I’m here."
How wonderful, her Uncle Liberation Army was always there.
Taking a deep breath, she was no longer panicked or scared as she entered the interrogation room.
"Second brother, tell me, are you taking the blame for someone else?" After the interrogation room door closed, Xia Chuyi didn’t waste any words and went straight to the point.
