Fu Mingxue made a point to add, "Officer, actually, there’s more—I have a suspect. I think the person who pushed me was Bai Siqi’s brother, Bai Chunsheng."
The tip of Tang Qiang’s pen suddenly streaked across the paper.
"—If you don’t have evidence, that’s slander!"
His voice grew stern.
Fu Mingxue wasn’t flustered.
She enunciated clearly, "With any case, if there’s a suspect, it’s your job as police officers to investigate. Besides, don’t you always say that you follow every lead?"
"Furthermore, how is this slander? I’m simply voicing my suspicion to give you a lead. It’s your job to investigate and verify. He’s a plausible suspect. With so many people there, I’m sure you can find out something about this incident."
Tang Qiang: ...?
"Are you interested in becoming a police officer?"
’Her logical thinking is so meticulous.’
’And she’s got guts.’
’Most importantly, she’s incredibly smart. Just what you’d expect from someone who got into Beijing University.’
Fu Mingxue was a little taken aback when she heard him, then she couldn’t help but chuckle. "Sorry, I have to go to university."
Tang Qiang had only been making an off-the-cuff remark. Of course he knew the young lady was going to university!
"Sign your name here. We’ll notify you if there are any developments in the case."
"Okay!" Although Fu Mingxue didn’t hear him explicitly say he would investigate, she knew he definitely would.
She swiftly signed her name, then added her thumbprint.
"My mom and I will head back now, then. I look forward to good news. By the way, I hope the case of the stolen admission notice can be closed first. After all, you have both witnesses and physical evidence; there’s no reason to delay."
Just as Tang Qiang was about to nod, another police officer came over.
He said to Tang Qiang, "Captain Tang, regarding Bai Siqi stealing the admission notice, her mother, Qu Hongdan, is adamant that she was the one who put her daughter up to it. In addition, Qu Hongdan wants to apologize to the victim and is willing to offer compensation—"
Fu Mingxue kept walking.
Song Yan’s face darkened. ’This woman’s greed is astonishing.’
’She wouldn’t even agree to five hundred.’
He made his last offer. "Fu Mingxue, eight hundred. As long as you drop this case, I’m willing to pay the eight hundred for them."
This time, Fu Mingxue stopped.
She didn’t look at him, but at Tang Qiang. "Officer, you heard him. He’s the one willing to pay to make this problem go away, not me extorting them."
Tang Qiang glanced at her, then at the man whose face was livid.
His gaze returned to Fu Mingxue’s face. "Are you really agreeing to settle for eight hundred?"
"He’s willing to settle for eight hundred, and I agree to that. However, Bai Siqi and her mother must apologize three times at my front door."
