Marry Me Quick novel Chapter 171

Chapter 171

The policeman looked at Su Ziyue with eyes full of scrutiny and said in a serious tone, “We have checked the surveillance, and you were the last person Xu Youran saw before her death.”

Su Ziyue didn’t speak another word and took a look at the photo. When she saw the girl’s face clearly, her eyes suddenly widened. “Her name is Xu Youran?” When she saw this girl named Xu Youran last night, Xu Youran still looked fine; she didn’t look like she was about to commit suicide at all.

“At five o’clock in the morning today, someone found her body in the staff dormitory.” The police looked at Su Ziyue with a sharp look. It was obvious that Su Ziyue had been listed as a key suspect.

An Xia, who was sitting on the other side of Su Ziyue, picked up Xu Youran’s photo and took a look at it. She also recognized Xu Youran as the girl who broke into the elevator yesterday. She didn’t take a closer look at that time, but when she looked at her photo now, she actually felt that she looked a little familiar.

A thought flashed across Su Ziyue’s eyes as she said, “I will cooperate with your investigation.”

Qin Muchen was obviously dissatisfied when he heard her words. Su Ziyue held his hand and got up as she decided to leave with the police. An Xia was still holding the picture of Xu Youran in her hand. Suddenly, something popped into her mind as she thought of something. She stood up anxiously, took Su Ziyue’s hand and whispered, “Ziyue, can’t you recognize Xu Youran?”

“How would I know her?” She didn’t understand what An Xia was trying to say. She had thought about it many times yesterday, and she was certain that she didn’t know Xu Youran.

Seeing the confused look on Su Ziyue’s face, An Xia raised the photo to her face. “Look carefully—don’t you find her familiar? She is the girl who produced the evidence to help Su Yige accuse you of abortion!”

“What?” Su Ziyue snatched the photo from her and looked at it carefully. She finally saw the familiarity in Xu Youran’s photo. No wonder Xu Youran acted like she knew her last night. It had been four years, and Xu Youran had changed a lot between the age of eighteen to twenty-two.

She vaguely remembered the girl who produced evidence to help Su Yige frame her at the time. She was a very introverted girl with a very long fringe that almost covered her entire face. She always bowed her head, looking like she didn’t want to attract anyone’s attention. She was completely different from the beautiful Xu Youran she saw yesterday.

“Are you done talking? Can we go now?” the police urged her impatiently.

Su Ziyue put down the photo, turned around and left with the police. Before leaving, she turned her head to look at Qin Muchen, giving him a look that asked him to calm down.

The icy look on Qin Muchen’s face finally melted slightly; he pursed his lips, still showing no expression. Su Ziyue smiled at this and left with the police briskly. Then, Qin Muchen turned his head and frowned. She is the one involved in the homicide case, yet she’s asking me to calm down? I’m very calm now, okay?

Seeing Qin Muchen’s gloomy face, Nan Chuan couldn’t help but ask, “Boss, do we have to do something about it?”

“She’s not the murderer, so what can you do?” Qin Muchen gave Nan Chuan a cold look, feeling very dissatisfied. Why should I be anxious when Su Ziyue is not anxious herself? Although he thought so in his heart, he still turned his head and looked at An Xia. “Tell me in detail about what happened back then.”

“Umm…” An Xia didn’t know if Su Ziyue had told Qin Muchen about it, but she didn’t dare not say anything when she looked into the eyes of Mr. Qin. Moreover, based on the mighty Mr. Qin’s connections, it would be easy for him to find out about the abortion even if she refused to tell him. Thinking about it this way, An Xia was relieved and told him what happened back then. After that, An Xia repeatedly emphasized, “I give you my word of honor that Ziyue is the most beautiful and virtuous girl I have ever seen.”

“Alright.” Although he felt that An Xia’s words were unnecessary, he still responded to her seeing that she was a good friend of Su Ziyue. After all, he knew this kind of thing better than An Xia. Qin Muchen frowned and said again, “In other words, Xu Youran produced the abortion certificate which was finally confirmed to be genuine.”

“Yes.” An Xia nodded her head and added, “Xu Youran had just transferred to our class at that time. She was not talkative and very introverted; I didn’t expect that she would help others to frame Ziyue.”

Qin Muchen’s focus was on another matter instead. “Is that abortion certificate genuine?”

…

Because of the sudden incident, as well as its location in the suburbs and its new opening, the hot spring spa actively cooperated with the police and even provided the police a room for them to work. It was precisely because of this that the police agreed to conduct a low-key investigation for the spa owner’s sake. The guests who were being investigated did not actually know that there had been a murder; after all, this kind of thing had a great impact on the opening of a new store.



“Su Ziyue, please answer our questions truthfully.” The policemen sat down in front of her; their uniforms spoke of integrity.

“Alright.” Su Ziyue straightened slightly and sat upright.

“Your name, gender, age, occupation, and ethnicity.”

“Su Ziyue, female, 22 years old, director of the project department at Su Group, Han Chinese.”

“What is your relationship with the victim, Xu Youran?”

“We used to be classmates, but it was only for a short period.”

“Do you usually contact each other?”

Although she knew that the police were only conducting routine interrogations, Su Ziyue still inevitably felt annoyed. “No.”

Probably sensing Su Ziyue’s impatience, the police went straight to the point and asked, “When was the last time you two met?”

“Last night—we were in the courtyard in front of the spa.”

“What did you two talk about?”

“We only exchanged greetings.”

“Where were you when the murder happened? In other words, where were you all night last night?”

“I was sleeping with my husband in our room.”

The police raised their eyebrows and said sharply, “In other words, there is no other evidence to prove that you were not at the crime scene except your husband. There is a possibility of covering-up between husband and wife, so he cannot be regarded as an absolute alibi.”

Su Ziyue said nothing. The police then continued, “We will verify and investigate what you’ve just said afterward. So far, you are the most likely suspect among all the suspects. We reserve the right to detain you pre-trial.” As he finished speaking, he stood up.

Su Ziyue was slightly startled when she heard his words. She was innocent, but she didn’t expect to be treated like this. “So far, there is no circumstantial evidence proving that I killed her, let alone a direct piece of evidence. Therefore, you have no right to restrict my personal freedom!”

Su Ziyue felt that she might have been too cooperative, so the police made such an unreasonable demand. Moreover, why are they naming me as the biggest suspect?! All of this is completely unsubstantiated!
