The policeman handling the case replied, “…Yes.”
“Just now, Governor Mu Xigui of Union District called the governor personally to talk about this matter, and his words were full of concern for Zhong Nuannuan. He said that no criminal should be spared, but good people cannot be slandered as well. Governor Mu instructed that we must place great importance on this matter, so that we can give justice to the daughter of Deputy Governor Ou, and make sure that good people are not wronged at the same time.”
The policeman handling the case was aghast!
Thus, what this meant was that Zhong Nuannuan was a good person?
What should they do then?
He originally wanted to forge evidence to swindle Zhong Nuannuan, but now, should he continue with that plan?
The governor and deputy governor were not people he could provoke, he was just a low-ranked policeman handling this case!
After hanging up the phone, the expression of the policeman handling the case became ugly. He called over the other female police officer who was handling the case, and the two of them went out.
The two of them came back inside after exchanging some words. Their expressions were very ugly, and they looked at Zhong Nuannuan with an added sense of fastidiousness and fear.
At this moment, the phone rang again.
It was once again from Chief Constable Wang.
“Chief Constable Wang, do you have any more instructions?”
Chief Constable Wang’s voice was very low on the other end of the phone.
“You… Did you treat Zhong Nuannuan well?” After all, she was only a 17-year-old girl.
The policeman handling the case was shocked!
“Just now, the commander-in-chief of Jiang District’s military base called the governor again, saying that Zhong Nuannuan was his niece, and went on to say that he believed that with Zhong Nuannuan’s personality, she would never do anything like that. If she really wanted to punish Ou Mingxi, she would never use such methods. Moreover, she would never be able to harm Deputy Governor Ou openly. Hence, it’s definitely not Zhong Nuannuan.”
The policeman handling the case was flabbergasted!
“Therefore, if you can’t find any conclusive evidence, let her go as soon as possible. With Governor Mu and Commander-in-chief Leng’s acting as her guarantors, this matter was probably not done by Zhong Nuannuan.
“Also, I heard that Deputy Governor Ou’s daughter is very strong-headed. She has always liked Zhong Nuannuan’s fiancé, and in order to get someone else’s fiancé, she did not hesitate to look for Deputy Governor Ou and the military base’s deputy commander-in-chief to threaten her family. Now that she has been disfigured and raped, it’s possible that she wants to frame her viciously. Hence, if you have no evidence, let her go.”
“Yes!”
The policeman handling the case really felt like he was about to collapse!
He thought that he could flatter the deputy governor, but ended up offending big bosses like the governor instead.
No wonder Zhong Nuannuan was so confident.
He asked if there was anything found on the scene by the investigation’s first division, and then asked the second division if they had discovered anything on the call records.
After confirming that there was no evidence, the two police officers entered the interrogation room.
“Zhong Nuannuan, the evidence of your homicide is insufficient to convict you, so you can leave now.”
Zhong Nuannuan sat in the interrogation room calmly, glanced at the two policemen, and ignored them.
“Zhong Nuannuan, the evidence of your homicide is insufficient to convict you, so you can leave now.”
The police repeated themselves again.
“Oh, when you arrested me, you said I was a rapist and murderer, and now that you know you’ve arrested the wrong person, you want me to leave just like that?”
“Zhong Nuannuan, it’s the duty of every citizen to cooperate with the police in handling the case, and I hope you can understand this.” The policewoman was a little unhappy.
