Chapter 239 - Interview? Questioning?
After finishing her shift as Lu Chen’s wife by convincing him to eat his lunch, Xiu i returned to her role as a dedicated secretary. It was another usual working day for the both of them.
Lu Qiang went out with his classmates after class, so it was only her and Lu Chen who dropped by in the hospital today.
She was peeling so oranges when she was suddenly called by a soldier. After saluting to her eldest brother, he inford her that the investigation committee was asking for her.
"What do you need her for?" Her eldest brother interjected. His voice sounded stern and cold.
"We need Ms.Xiu’s statent regarding the death of Mr.Zhu that happened here in the hospital."
Ah. That’s right.
She forgot to leave her statent about the incident. When she woke up, she was still a bit shaken up to be interviewed, and then when she went ho, she was too excited to return to work that Zhu Lin’s death was completely thrown at the back of her mind.
"I understand. I’ll go." She stood up to pick up her things.
"I’ll go with you." Lu Chen interjected. He glanced at the soldier.
"That should be fine, right?"
Instead of asking permission, Lu Chen made it a statent that the soldier couldn’t disagree with.
And so, Xiu i and Lu Chen found themselves waiting inside of one of the empty rooms in the hospital. Monts later, the special army agents in charge of criminal investigations within the army entered.
"Good evening, Ms.Xiu, Mr.Lu." The two special agents only briefly introduced themselves before they started collecting her statent.
"Did Ms.Xiu co with Mr.Zhu to the hospital that day?"
"No. I bumped into him when I ca out of the restroom."
"Was he waiting for you outside or did he co out from sowhere then bumped into you?"
"I’m not sure. He ca up from behind then he started blocking my path right after I went out."
The two people nodded while taking notes.
"Could you share with us what were you two talking about before he drugged you?"
"We didn’t exactly talk because I was temporarily unable to speak at that ti. He was just talking about so grudges I had to him about the incident from ten years ago."
"If you don’t mind, what was the grudge from ten years ago that you and he were pertaining about?"
Xiu i lowered her gaze and stared at the table as she fell silent. Seconds later, she opened her mouth and explained what it was.
"It was when my best friend and I were kidnapped ten years ago. We were initially with him when we were caught, but he made a run for it and left us alone. That action made the kidnappers fiercer to us and he didn’t report to the authorities about the situation so I held a grudge to him because of that."
"I see. I hope you take no offense to this question Ms.Xiu but may I ask if that grudge is enough reason for you to kill him?"
"...excuse ?"
Did they not know that she fainted before he jumped out of the window?
Xiu i thought that they were only collecting her statent but it seems like she was being interrogated like a criminal instead.
Lu Chen didn’t sit still and interrupted their conversation.
"If you’re going to push this interview in that direction that I would like to call our lawyer first before continuing. It seems to that you’re not interviewing her, but rather, questioning her as a potential suspect." His expression turned fiercer as he coldly stated their stance in this situation.
The two special agents weren’t intimidated but rembering that the woman in front of them wasn’t just a simple civilian. She is a relative of the Yu Clan whose families hold a lot of positions within the military. They couldn’t offend her so they imdiately took a step back and changed their tune in questioning.
"Apologies if that question offended you, Ms. Xiu."
"Let’s just continue and finish this up quickly." She couldn’t help but let out an annoyed tone when she replied.
But she was seriously offended by their question. It was like they were blaming the victim for the death of the perpetrator which was very unacceptable for her.
If it wasn’t because of her family’s status, they would have surely continued to question her in that direction but since she was soone they couldn’t easily offend, they retreated. But what about the others who were put in the sa situation as her?
Were they also ’interviewed’ this way?
Just thinking about it alone angered her. So her attitude completely changed for the next half of the interview.
"What happened after your conversation with Mr.Zhu?"
"He started harassing , then when I distanced myself from him, he took out a spray and after that, I felt weak and my vision turned hazy. I realized that sothing was wrong so I imdiately ran."
"And then he chased after you?"
"He did. But before I completely fainted, I bumped into a doctor, I think that was Dr.Lee then after I blacked out. I woke up hours later and that’s when they said that Zhu Lin was already dead."
"Were you aware that he jumped from the window?"
"Yes. Mr. Lu told what happened after I fainted."
"And how did you react when you knew he died?"
She frowned. Were they expecting her to say that she was happy that he died? Did they think that she was so kind of evil person or sothing?
"I don’t know. I wasn’t sure to feel at that ti since I just recovered my voice after that and my psychologist was busy explaining to about my current situation so I didn’t really get to think what I felt when I hear Zhu Lin died."
