Chapter 60: Causing Trouble
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The police officer in the lead showed his ID in a businesslike manner. “Hello, we’re from the Public Security Branch of B City’s Public Security Bureau. May I ask if there’s a person called Lu Haiqiao here?”
Perhaps because she had never seen such a big scene, Fang Chuoqi blinked in confusion. “Yes, yes…”
Upon hearing her na, Lu Haiqiao stood up. “I’m Lu Haiqiao. Is there anything I can help you with?”
The police walked past Fang Chuoqi and strode up to her. He said sternly, “Lu Haiqiao, you’re suspected of being involved in a case of intentional assault.
Co with us now.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the office instantly erupted.
“Intentionally hurt soone? No way, Lu Haiqiao? She doesn’t even dare to step on ants, yet she hurts soone?”
“You don’t understand. As the saying goes, you can’t judge a book by its cover.
How do you know that she’s not a female wolf in sheep’s clothing?”
“I think it’s hard to say. Let tell you, a few days ago, I saw a green sports car sending Lu Haiqiao to work. This morning, it changed to a black one. To be able to find so many cars to pick her up, she must not be a good person.”
“That’s right. Perhaps they didn’t agree on the price, so she fought in a fit of anger. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Think about that scene. It’s even more exciting than a television drama!”
Just as the other colleagues were whispering, Fang Chuoqi changed her attitude toward Lu Haiqiao. She didn’t say anything for a long ti.
She frowned and looked at Lu Haiqiao, but the latter remained calm and natural as if the words “intentional injury” had nothing to do with her.
“Okay, I’ll go with you.”
She neither admitted nor denied it.
Due to her cooperation, the police didn’t use coercive asures. Instead, they brought Lu Haiqiao out of the magazine agency as if she was assisting in investigations.
In the sealed interrogation room, only a table lamp emitted a blinding white light.
Lu Haiqiao leaned against the chair calmly. Opposite her was a young police officer who was taking notes.
“Na, age, and profession.” The police officer’s tone was businesslike. Even so, the mont he saw Lu Haiqiao, he didn’t believe that such a docile-looking girl would do sothing like “intentional injury.”
However, the person who reported the case claid that there were both
witnesses and evidence, and he went straight to the director through his
connections in D City.
The higher-ups were exerting pressure, so he had to take it seriously.
“Lu Haiqiao, 24 years old, a reporter.” Lu Haiqiao’s tone was indifferent. Ordinary people would have been anxious when they encountered such a situation, but her reaction was unbelievably calm.
Could it be that the matter really had nothing to do with her?
Even so, she would at least show panic.
The young police officer couldn’t help but look at her again.
She didn’t seem to be pretending.
“Do you know a man nad Pan Ning?” The young officer continued his interrogation.
Hearing this, Lu Haiqiao narrowed her eyes, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.
As expected, it was him who was causing trouble.
“We’ve t,” she said.
Did that an that they knew each other?
“Then were you at the South Sand Bay Resort between nine and ten last night?” the police officer asked again.
Lu Haiqiao nodded without thinking. “Yes.”
The police officer imdiately ca to a conclusion. “Then you admit to assaulting soone?”
Lu Haiqiao ran her fingers through her long hair and crossed her legs in satisfaction. “I didn’t touch him.’
She really didn’t do it. The steak knife did.
“You didn’t touch him? Then where did the injury on the person’s face co from?” the police officer asked..
