Chapter 255: Chapter 251: So This Is the Purpose You Made Me Pursue? (Double-Length Chapter)

Ye Tong’s face turned pale upon hearing that, thankfully Huang Ying, who was standing next to her, supported her.

Ji Ning diligently stepped forward to communicate, "Officer, this joke isn’t funny. My artist went straight to the hotel from the airport, and then directly to the police station. Where would she have found the time to commit murder? If my artist had killed someone, would we have dared to come to the police station today, presumptuously presenting ourselves? Do we look like idiots? Also, do you have any evidence proving my artist committed murder? You shouldn’t arrest someone just because of baseless accusations, right?"

The leading officer’s expression was unpleasant, but his attitude softened somewhat compared to earlier.

Although the second floor was a resting area, Ji Ning’s voice was loud enough to be heard in the hall on the first floor, and they were wary of a negative impact.

"You’ve misunderstood, we are only asking Miss Ye to cooperate with the investigation, not arresting her."

As he spoke, a child’s crying voice came from behind them, "Wah wah wah... the unfortunate one killed my mom... you must arrest her..."

This remark made everyone present furrow their brows.

A five-year-old child was able to say "unfortunate one," which showed how poorly Ye Dahe treated Ye Tong regularly.

Ji Ning smirked, glanced at the still sobbing child, and asked, "Is this your witness?"

The leading officer’s expression turned even more unpleasant, he shot a glance at his subordinates, and the crying child was immediately taken further away.

He looked at the difficult Ji Ning with a serious tone, "We won’t let a bad person get away, nor will we wrong a good person. We brought Miss Ye in for the investigation to clear her name. If someone is maliciously slandering Miss Ye, what’s their motive? Don’t you want to find out?"

He looked at the woman in front of him whose expression seemed to soften a bit, and continued, "Rest assured, our police investigate cases to find solid evidence. If Miss Ye is innocent, it will naturally be proven, just like you said, confidently coming to the police station."

"Alright, I will let my artist cooperate with your investigation, but we are on a tight schedule. My artist came out on leave; she was training at Jiuming Mountain Base prior." Ji Ning said half-truthfully.

Indeed, a few of the police officers’ expressions changed slightly.

Ye Tong was taken away by the police. Initially, she felt scared, but after hearing Ji Ning’s words, she calmed down.

"Don’t worry, just tell them what you know."

Ji Ning, Huang Ying, and Xiao Kong stayed in the second-floor resting area, but this time with two people monitoring them.

Ji Ning sneered.

Xiao Kong’s gaze flickered slightly, he glanced at them before lowering his voice, "Leader, no wonder you’re concealing your identity to come here, something’s amiss..."

Ji Ning glanced at him, and Xiao Kong immediately shut his mouth.

Huang Ying rhythmically tapped his fingers on his arm, looking at Ji Ning with a half-smile.

[Is this why you brought me here?]

Ji Ning smiled faintly, tapping his finger similarly.

[You know Nanling the best.]

Huang Ying wanted to roll his eyes.

The case of Ye Tong’s abduction had seen no progress since the Nanling line went cold.

The trafficker who previously confessed to being associated was almost strangled to death in prison, had it not been for an early discovery by the guards, it only hurt his throat, and the associates he confessed to were all dead during their secret capture.

This realization led the police to see the complexity in this case, so they became extremely cautious after arresting Ye Dahe, fearing Ye Dahe might be harmed. But what they didn’t expect was the chaos at the police station when Ye Dahe’s wife Zhang Xiaofen was murdered — now, the suspect turned out to be the victim of this case, Ye Tong.

It seems an invisible hand is obstructing the police investigation into this case.

Interrogation room— 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Ye Tong sat across from the police officer with some unease.

Compared to the previous questioning, the interrogation now was much stricter.

The interrogation officer’s expression was very severe, and his gaze was sharp, "Name?"

"Ye Tong."

"Place of birth?"

...

"Do you know the victim?" The interrogation officer raised the photo in his hand to inquire.

Ye Tong shook her head slightly, "I don’t know her."

"Have you ever seen her?"

"Haven’t seen her."

"Do you know her identity?"

Ye Tong thought for a moment and replied, "I know, you guys told me she is Ye Dahe’s wife."

"Knowing her identity, why do you say you don’t know her?"

Ye Tong furrowed her brow slightly, "I haven’t seen her, so I really don’t know her. Besides, you said she is Ye Dahe’s wife Zhang Xiaofen, didn’t you?"

The interrogation officer gave her a deep look and continued asking, "Where were you on December 8th?"

"I got off the plane in the morning, went straight to the hotel, and then rested in the hotel. My assistant can vouch for this."
