It was already midnight after Chi Mingwei finally finished giving his statement. After Chi Jiao paid his bail, Chi Mingwei could go home for now and wait for the police to contact him.
There was no concrete evidence to prove that Chi Mingwei was the one who killed Fang Xiaowei. They had to wait for the detailed autopsy report first.
Huo Chen personally saw Chi Jiao and the others out of the police station.
Just as Chi Jiao was about to get into the car and leave, Huo Chen suddenly called out to her.
“Officer Huo, is there anything else?” Chi Jiao turned around.
“Jiaojiao, I believe that your father is innocent. Don’t worry, I will do my best to help find evidence and arrest the real culprit,” Huo Chen said as he stared at her.
Chi Jiao didn’t notice the hidden emotions in his eyes as he looked at her. She just smiled and nodded. “Thank you, Officer Huo.”
With that, she got into the car and closed the door.
It was already very late when they got home. Chi Mingwei didn’t say much to Chi Jiao and Quan Jue. He just urged the two of them to go and rest.
Now that something like that had happened, it was impossible for Chi Jiao to be in a good mood.
Therefore, Quan Jue stayed in her room to comfort her.
The girl curled up in his arms like a fragile little pet, burying her little face in his chest.
“Your father isn’t the murderer. He’ll be fine. Don’t worry too much.” Quan Jue’s deep voice came from above.
Chi Jiao rubbed her face against his chest and wrapped her arms tightly around his waist.
“I implicated Dad.” The girl’s muffled voice sounded. “Fang Xiaowei was most likely killed by an Esper. The mastermind was actually targeting me.”
Actually, it was quite easy to deduce this.
Her father was just an ordinary person. He was usually kind and did not offend anyone, much less any Espers.
That was why she was certain that the other party was targeting her.
“Do you have anyone you suspect?” Quan Jue asked.
“She Qi.” Chi Jiao felt disgusted just thinking of She Qi’s face.
Apart from him, she couldn’t think of anyone else.
“He’s really a pest.” A cold glint flashed across Quan Jue’s eyes.
Chi Jiao nodded in agreement.
“It’s getting late. Go to sleep,” Quan Jue said gently.
After her long day, Chi Jiao was indeed tired. She closed her eyes tiredly.
The next day, at eight in the morning.
When Chi Mingwei saw Chi Jiao walking down the stairs, he put down the newspaper in his hand. “Jiaojiao, why are you up so early? Sleep a little longer.”
“I’m not sleepy anymore.” Chi Jiao walked down the stairs and stood in front of him. She examined his face. “Daddy, did you not sleep the entire night?”
Chi Mingwei rubbed the spot between his brows and did not deny it. “The moment I close my eyes, I see Fang Xiaowei’s face.”
Yesterday, when he opened the trunk and saw Fang Xiaowei’s stiff and dead face, he would be lying if he said that he was not afraid.
Such things only happened in television dramas. He had never expected to witness such a scene in real life.
Chi Jiao also knew that this incident would definitely leave a mark on her father’s heart. She sat on the sofa and said, “Dad, it’s best if you don’t go out for the next few days.”
She was worried that the mastermind would attack him again.
“If you must go out, bring Shen Xing along,” Chi Jiao said.
Chi Mingwei felt that Chi Jiao seemed to know something, but seeing her serious little face, he didn’t ask further.
In his opinion, Jiaojiao was now a person who did great things.. There were many things that she couldn’t speak about.
