After Rebirth, the Miracle Doctor Wife Is No Longer Humble!-Chapter 28: Interrogation

Ye Ling slowly shook her head. "No, but this gold leaf is mine."

This... Wasn't this acting shamelessly? Many people present had such thoughts.

However, upon careful consideration, Ye Ling's logic seemed peculiar but completely reasonable.

Since the young woman couldn't prove that the gold leaf was hers, how was she qualified to accuse Ye Ling of stealing it?

The police officer took a deep breath and massaged his temples, which were throbbing with pain. "Alright, let's not talk about it anymore. Both of you, come with me to the police station!"

Ye Ling had no objections. But before leaving, she secretly pulled Yun Jie and whispered, "Yun Jie, do me a favor."

Not long after, Ye Ling and the young woman arrived at the police station. After a brief recording of their statements, Ye Ling learned that the young woman's name was Du Juan, and she lived in Lotus Village, not far from Stone Village.

After understanding the situation, the police officers at the station found themselves in a dilemma. They couldn't determine who was telling the truth.

A seasoned police officer pondered for a moment and said, "The key is to find out the origin of this gold leaf."

"Should we continue questioning Ye Ling or Du Juan?" another officer asked.

"We should question both of them, but focus on Du Juan. She claims that Ye Ling stole her belongings. If she hadn't made that accusation, this whole situation wouldn't have escalated. In any case, we will believe whoever provides information about the origin of the gold leaf first."

Soon enough, the police brought Du Juan into the interrogation room and asked her where she obtained the gold leaf. Du Juan stammered and couldn't come up with a proper explanation.

"Yes, my deceased husband gave it to me," Du Juan said. Being a widow, she quickly came up with that excuse.

In the other interrogation room, Ye Ling responded, "My deceased grandmother left it to me."

The police officers were speechless. How could these two people give the same answer? Moreover, the person who gave them the gold leaf was already dead. How could they investigate further?

For a moment, the interrogation reached a stalemate.

Not long after, a round-faced policewoman entered the room. "Officer Li, someone is here claiming to be a friend of Ye Ling."

Then, Dai Wei appeared at the door.

Dai Wei showed a smile upon seeing a familiar face. After entering the room, he patted Officer Li's shoulder. "Old Li, long time no see. What's wrong? Have you encountered a problem that can't be solved?"

Officer Li swatted away Dai Wei's hand and rolled his eyes. "This problem can't be solved even if people from the provincial office come."

Officer Li briefly explained the situation, and upon hearing it, Dai Wei furrowed his brows. After a moment of contemplation, his brow relaxed. "Since both of them are unable to provide evidence, let's not worry about it. Release Ye Ling for now." 𝙗𝙚𝒅𝒏𝒐𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Officer Li's eyes widened slightly. "How can we do that?"

"Why not? Let me tell you, I know Ye Ling. She's a knowledgeable youth from the city. I've heard that her family is very wealthy. As for Du Juan, she's from Lotus Village. I don't need to explain where Lotus Village is, right? Each family is poorer than the other, and they struggle to have enough to eat. How could her deceased husband give her a gold leaf? Is romance more important than food?"

Dai Wei's intention was clear, and Officer Li found his analysis to be reasonable but still hesitated.

"Furthermore, Ye Ling is my friend. I can vouch for her character, and so can Min Nan." Dai Wei felt that his words lacked weight and immediately mentioned Min Nan.

Officer Li was taken aback and lowered his voice. "Ye Ling is also a friend of Min Nan?"

"They are not just friends." Dai Wei ambiguously winked and gave a "you know what I mean" expression.

Officer Li no longer hesitated and immediately turned to his subordinates. "Release Ye Ling."

"What about Du Juan?" one of the subordinates asked.

Officer Li pondered for a few seconds. "Release her too."

"Wait." Dai Wei stopped Officer Li. "I think Du Juan is a bit suspicious. After you release her, you can have someone follow her and see if she shows any unusual behavior. As for the gold leaf, you can say that you want to investigate its craftsmanship to determine its origin and observe the reactions of Du Juan and Ye Ling."

"You know how to handle things." Officer Li's mind became clear, and he immediately instructed his subordinates to follow Dai Wei's plan.

When Ye Ling heard that the police officer would investigate the origin of the gold leaf, her expression remained unchanged as if she had no worries. However, a flicker of panic crossed Du Juan's face.

Subsequently, the two of them left the police station. Ye Ling left with Dai Wei. After stepping out of the police station, Ye Ling looked at Dai Wei with gratitude. "Officer Dai, thank you for helping me."
