“I said I did not kill anyone!” Staring at Qiu Yun, Zuo Weiyi denied once again.
“Miss Zuo, please follow us.”
To stop their continuous argument, the policeman brought Zuo Weiyi into the interrogation room.
“What do you have on you?” The policeman asked before entering the interrogation room.
Zuo Weiyi was taken aback. She lowered her head and looked at herself. Then, she put her hands into her pocket and realized she only had her mobile phone.
“Remove your watch too.” The policeman took her mobile phone and instructed her to remove the watch on her wrist.
It was the first time she came to the police station and so, she was unsure of the situation. Hence, she followed the policeman’s instruction and removed her watch.
The policeman took the mobile phone and watch and put them into a safe with a passcode.
“Follow me.”
The policeman brought her into the interrogation room.
“Where were you last night between 6.30pm to 7.30pm?”
The policeman started the interrogation in the soundproof interrogation room.
Yesterday evening?
Zuo Weiyi looked up. Despite the uneasiness in her heart, she believed if she did not do anything wrong, she would be alright.
“Yesterday afternoon, I was shopping and eating with my friend and arrived home at about 6.30pm.”
The policeman glanced at the wound on the back of her hand and continued asking, “Did you meet Miss Jiang Tingmei within this period of time?”
Zuo Weiyi paused for several seconds and hesitated before replying, “Yes.”
“When?”
“I met her when I almost arrived home. She suddenly dashed in front of me and I thought I had knocked someone down. So, I went down to have a look and then…”
“What happened then?”
Zuo Weiyin looked up. Her hands that were placed on her lap tightened unconsciously.
Was this all not just a coincidence? How did Jiang Tingmei die?
“Miss Zuo?” Seeing her hesitance, the policeman pressed on.
“I went down to have a look and found that I had not knocked anyone down. Then, Jiang Tingmei dashed toward me. After that, we got into an argument due to some personal grudges but I really did not kill her!”
“Personal grudges?” The policeman frowned. So, now she had a motive for killing.
“My mother’s death was indirectly caused by Jiang Tingmei and Qiu Yun!”
If it were not for their threat and intimidation, that incident would not have happened.
“What happened after that? Did you strangle Jiang Tingmei?”
Upon hearing this, Zuo Weiyi’s eyes widened!
They even knew about this?
“I… I was only acting on instinctive defense. I did not think of killing her. When I had let her go, she was still alright!”
“Did you strangle her? Yes or no?” The policeman was stoic.
Zuo Weiyi paused and pursed her lips. Feeling helpless, she admitted, “Yes.”
After more than an hour of interrogation, Zuo Weiyin walked out of the interrogation room but did not leave the police station. Instead, she was detained on the suspicion of murder.
“I did not kill her, why did you lock me up?”
In the detention room, Zuo Weiyin grabbed the iron railings as fear welled up in her heart.
This was her first time entering such place and she was really scared. Her previous brave-front had completely disintegrated the moment she entered the detention room!
“Miss Zuo, we will take your blood sample and the bloodstain found in Jiang Tingmei’s nails for authentication. Before the result is out, you’ll have to stay here.”
After the policeman informed her, he turned around and paid no more attention to her.
When she saw the door being locked, Zuo Weiyi became more nervous.
“Let me out. I didn’t kill her!”
She yelled helplessly but the policeman had disappeared around the corner at the end of the corridor.
Looking around the cold detention room, Zuo Weiyi leaned against the wall helplessly and sat down as she hugged her knees tightly.
