Chapter 964: Chapter 964: The Ancestor’s Daily Habit of Scaring People
Xia Fangruo’s face changed again, her heart skipped a beat, and her hand on the table slowly clenched.
She was a smart person, and by now, she naturally understood what was happening today.
She looked at Zhou Ming, both crying and laughing, and said aggrievedly: “Brother Ming, is having them investigate because you suspected for a long ti?”
Zhou Ming t Xia Fangruo’s tearful eyes, his heart skipped, softened a bit, he opened his mouth, wanting to say sothing.
But Jiangli interjected, “This is a criminal case, any words you say to Zhou Ming won’t matter now. Even if he says he’s not pursuing your mistake, claiming you hard Zhou Shutong was a good thing, the police will still arrest you. What’s the use of crying in front of him?”
Xia Fangruo’s face turned pale, clearly understanding that Jiangli was speaking the truth.
Just like Jiangli said, this painting was bought by her at a high price, hiring soone to purchase it from the auction. Once the police investigate, it won’t take long to find out that she bought the painting.
Thinking of this, Xia Fangruo instead candidly said, “Yes, I bought this painting. So what? I bought it knowing Zhao Xiuyu’s birthday was coming up. I felt guilty towards her, wanted to celebrate and give her a gift. Is that wrong?”
“Really?”
Jiangli raised an eyebrow, “That sounds reasonable, but do you know how terrifying Zhou Shutong’s death was?”
She tilted her head to glance at Weng Jingyun, “Captain Weng, do you have a photo of Zhou Shutong’s death on your phone?”
Weng Jingyun imdiately responded and took out his phone, “Yes, here it is.”
Jiangli smiled slightly, “Show her.”
Weng Jingyun placed the phone in front of Xia Fangruo.
Xia Fangruo took a glance, then closed her eyes sharply, turned her head, dared not look again, her heart nearly stopped beating.
It took quite a while to regain its rhythm.
“Why, why are you showing this?”
“Since Miss Xia spent a hefty sum to buy this painting, she should know the power of the painting. This is the result of the painting, Zhou Shutong died, died incredibly miserably. Though we have no evidence that Miss Xia murdered Zhou Shutong, since Miss Xia admitted she bought the painting, let’s return it to Miss Xia.”
Jiangli pushed the painting in front of Xia Fangruo, lifted a hand and said, “Miss Xia, take it back.”
As she spoke, a black mist seeped from the painting, rushing towards Xia Fangruo.
Xia Fangruo scread sharply, rose to dodge, in panic, knocking the chair to the ground.
The nearby waiter heard the commotion and intended to co over.
Weng Jingyun saw this, quickly stepped forward, showed his credentials to them, and instructed them to close the door, prevent others from entering, and stay calm.
It was not lunchti yet, and there weren’t many people in the café.
Shutting it now was still tily.
The waiter saw it was a police operation, shrank his neck, dared not breathe loudly, helped control the scene.
Simultaneously, Xia Fangruo was holding her head, still screaming.
Seeing this, Jiangli took out a Truth Speak Talisman, swiftly sticking it onto Xia Fangruo’s back.
Then, Jiangli directly asked, “Miss Xia should be aware of the painting’s effects, right?”
Xia Fangruo turned to run, unwilling to answer Jiangli, but she heard herself speaking unwittingly, “I, I indeed heard that the forr owners of this painting all died terribly…”
Upon hearing her voice, Xia Fangruo froze, forgetting to escape.
Xia Xin and Master Wu also reacted at this point, blocking Xia Fangruo’s escape route.
