"It’s , Miss An. At the crime scene where Xiong Tian died, forensic personnel found a character ’An’ next to the body. Therefore, we need your cooperation in the investigation." The experienced police officer didn’t use an arresting tone with An Yiqing.
"Okay, I’ll come with you. But I need to say a few things," An Yiqing nodded, deciding to make a trip to the police station.
"Qingqing, don’t go!" Gu Tingting stood up and grabbed An Yiqing, disapproving of her decision. Even Ruan Xue gave her a stern look, warning her not to go to the police station on her own.
"Tingting, Xiao Xue, I’m just going to assist in the investigation. Nobody would dare do anything to me," An Yiqing patted Gu Tingting’s shoulder and instructed them, "Tingting, you need to tell Ah Lin not to be rash. I’ll be fine. Xiong Tian’s death is too suspicious, and I need to see for myself what’s going on at the police station."
"Then you must be careful... If you come out missing even a single hair, we’ll sever ties with you!"
"Alright, I promise you guys," An Yiqing smiled and nodded, showing no awareness of being a suspect.
After An Yiqing left, the entire classroom exploded into chaos, with rumors of the Xuan University Campus Beauty being a murder suspect spreading like wildfire through the school. Once Tang Lin heard the news, he urgently sought out Ruan Xue and Gu Tingting, and the three of them were as anxious as ants on a hot pan. Even though An Yiqing said not to worry, everyone knew how dark and violent a police station could be – even a wealthy young lady like Gu Tingting was aware of it. If Qingqing suffered any injustice or accident inside... The thought alone terrified them.
In the police car, An Yiqing sat with her eyes closed, resting peacefully. Her serene and composed demeanor made the three police officers glance at her repeatedly.
They had never seen a young girl so calm in the face of such an event. Was she ignorant, or did she have something to rely on?
Regardless of what the police officers were thinking, with her eyes closed, An Yiqing quickly sorted through the information about the incident in her mind. First, judging by the officers’ attitude toward her, things were not as bad as they could have been. If someone had it in for her, they wouldn’t be acting this way. Second, Xiong Tian’s mysterious death was clearly full of holes. Even though she had had a conflict with Xiong Tian yesterday, a single ’An’ character proved nothing. Xuanjin was a country that demanded both witness and physical evidence. In this case, even without an alibi, there wasn’t evidence to pin her as the murderer.
So, with these points in mind, An Yiqing concluded that this incident was not serious, and someone was definitely stirring up trouble to spite her.
Having realized this, An Yiqing relaxed completely. When she arrived at the police station soon after, it would be time to see whether it was a mule or a horse that pulled the cart – to reveal who was pulling strings behind the scenes!
Before long, the police car arrived at the entrance of the police station, and An Yiqing followed the three officers out of the vehicle, walking into the police building at an unhurried pace.
The interrogation room contained only a table and a few chairs. It was quite spartan, and the slightly oppressive atmosphere made it feel a bit gloomy.
"Miss An, please have a seat. Someone will come to take your statement shortly," the senior officer handed An Yiqing a freshly made cup of instant coffee, politely saying.
"Thank you." The girl smiled and nodded. She always reciprocated courtesy with graciousness.
After the senior officer left, An Yiqing sat in the interrogation room by herself, waiting calmly for others to arrive.
Hmm, instant coffee is actually not bad. An Yiqing blinked and took another sip.
By the way, Qingqing, why do you always think about food and drink wherever you are?...
