"Miss Xia, let me ask you again. At that time, both you and Fang Lan were clearly imprisoned by the Mr. Tang because of a personal grudge, so how exactly did you escape?"
Hearing that, Xia Xue, whose mouth was dry from being interrogated for a whole day, had a headache as he facepalmed, "Officer, is that important? Aren't we talking about Tang Shaofeng killing people? What are you always holding on to these insignificant things for? "
With a darkened face, the police officer warned sternly once again: "Miss Xia, please take note of your attitude. I'm not asking you what you want to say here. We will not let go of any possibility. "
Xia Xue drooped his eyebrows in annoyance, but he remained indifferent, "Fine, consider it my loss to you. I was rescued by someone, a woman, I don't know. "
It was not that she did not hate Xiao Muting, after all, the other party had disrupted her plans time and time again.
However, the reason why she did not reveal the other party, was because she was afraid that she and Xiao Muting would be trapped by the police.
Therefore, in order to take revenge, she had to put aside her past hatred and stand on the same side as Xiao Muting.
Thus, she merely said that she did not know Su La, and did not say who the mastermind was.
"A woman, you don't know her? Are you sure? "
"Officer, your words are a bit funny. If I knew you, I would have definitely told you my name."
The officer first buried this doubt in his heart, then continued to interrogate him about the details of the case. "Then, when did you find out that Fang Lan had died, and why were you unwilling to come to the Police station to claim his corpse?"
Spreading his hands, Xia Xue's good temper was almost gone, "Sir Officer, the same question, just how many times do you want to ask! The reason why I didn't dare to show my face was because I was afraid that Tang Shaofeng would kill even me. "
Putting his hands together on the table, the police officer replied with a serious expression, "Really? If Tang Shaofeng wants to kill you, then he has countless of chances to do so while he was in seclusion, why must he wait until something unexpected happens?
Frowning, Xia Xue bit her lips tightly, and was choked by the police officer until she couldn't say anything.
But even then, she still firmly believed that Fang Lan's death was something Tang Shaofeng did. It was unknown if it was due to her prejudice towards Tang Shaofeng, or her own obsession.
"Since you can't answer it, then answer another question — — Back then, you and Fang Lan were locked up in different places, right? Do you know where she's being held? "
Shaking his head, Xia Xue answered truthfully: "Yes, I don't know where she was locked up. I only know that her body wasn't well at that time, and that she was taken away by Tang Shaofeng."
The police officer seemed to be satisfied with Xia Xue's reply.
Because the information revealed by the other party just so happened to match Tang Shaofeng's confession. This proved that Xia Xue and Tang Shaofeng were not lying on this point.
"Very good. Then according to what Tang Shaofeng had said, he took Fang Lan away because Fang Lan's body was in a worrisome state. What do you think about what he said?"
With a cold laugh, Xia Xue's eyes turned ice-cold. Someone as smart as her naturally wouldn't admit it.
Moreover, all the facts that were beneficial to Tang Shaofeng, she had to overturn them all. Only by doing this would she be able to put the opponent to death and not be able to turn the case around.
"Hehe, hypocritical! I don't know why he took my mother away, but it wasn't compassion! Otherwise, why would he imprison us, and why would he abuse my mother and me!? "
From Xia Xue's accusation, the police officer was able to tell how cunning the other party was.
Xia Xue kept on emphasizing Tang Shaofeng's fault, wanting to lead him to believe that Tang Shaofeng had a motive to kill. If not for him understanding the situation, he was afraid that Tang Shaofeng would have brought him into the sewer.
"Is that so? But from the forbidden place that Fang Lan is in, we found a lot of bottles of nutrient solution. "
Xia Xue was once again at a loss for words.
It was not that the police officer was biased towards Tang Shaofeng, but Xia Xue himself made people unable to sympathize with him.
Regarding the doubts on Xia Xue's body, Xia Xue had nothing to say and could only bite back and not say anything. This kind of blabbering without any basis did not help the progress of the case at all.
In comparison, from the moment Tang Shaofeng was detained, he had been cooperating very well with the investigation.
Therefore, it seemed obvious who was magnanimous and who was guilty.
"Oh right, did the person who saved you ask you where Fang Lan is, and if he suggested that you save him as well?"
The officer with sharp eyes suddenly asked after a moment of silence. He then locked his gaze onto Xia Xue's face, giving off a sense of pressure.
The hand that was placed under the table unconsciously clenched. Xia Xue quickly reacted: this was a trap question.
Although the officer's question seemed ordinary, to the point that it sounded like an extraneous question, if she answered yes, then the person who saved her would definitely be found to be suspicious, and Tang Shaofeng would be less suspicious.
So she pretended not to have a quick brain response and said, "No."
The officer did not expose him, but continued to ask: "Alright, but there is one thing I am curious about, since someone is here to save you, why don't you ask them to bring Fang Lan along? Is the relationship between you and Fang Lan really so light? "
Xia Xue, who was trying his best to hide his guilt, seemed to be calm and collected, but he couldn't help but dodge the gaze of the police officer, "No, at that time, I was too glad that someone came to save me, so I didn't dare ask for too much, afraid that that person would go back on his words."
The police officer who was nodding his head and taking notes did not voice any more doubts, but he obviously did not believe Xia Xue's words, if not he would not have waited for her to finish, and would not have started taking notes.
After closing the record book, the officer lightly looked at Xia Xue and said: "I'm sorry Miss Xia, if that's all you can provide me, Mr. Tang still cannot be verified as having committed a crime. However, your so-called stranger is a new clue. "
Avoiding the officer's gaze, Xia Xue pretended to be furious, "Who else could it be other than him? Since that strange woman is willing to save me, why would she bother to harm my mother?
Shrugging his shoulders, the officer showed a cold expression towards Xia Xue's dissatisfaction, "That's right, there are many things in your testimony that don't make sense. Not only will it not help the progress of the case, it will also make it more difficult for us to settle the case. So, whether or not you want to stand up for your mother is up to you. "
The police officer's hint was already obvious, it just depended on Xia Xue's cooperation.
However, Xia Xue pretended not to understand and turned his face away, while the police officer was too lazy to beat around the bush.
"Alright, you can leave now."
Thinking that he heard wrongly, Xia Xue asked in disbelief, "Officer, are you sure you're not mistaken? I can go now? "
"Yes, but after four hours, you must return here and bring your lawyer along as well, because the Mr. Tang appeals to you to deliberately murder his wife. Therefore, Miss Xia, the trouble you have on your body is not as simple as just a single case. "
Hearing that, Xia Xue clenched his fist in hatred, and his face alternated between green and white.
Seeing that Xia Xue was still not moving, the officer could not be bothered and pushed open the door towards the detention cell.
Inside the detention room, Lawyer Chen and Tang Shaofeng had already waited for a while. When they saw the officer appear, Lawyer Chen impatiently walked up and asked, "How is it Officer Wu, what did she tell you?"
Pursing his lips, Officer Wu looked at Tang Shaofeng with a terrible expression, "Her testimony is a complete mess. Even though it was directed at you from head to toe, without any evidence, it cannot harm you."
Nodding, Tang Shaofeng said in a friendly manner: "Thank you, Officer Wu."
"It's just a matter of duty, there's no need to put so much effort into it." However, she actually mentioned the matter of her being saved. It is exactly the same as what you've guessed, but she refused to reveal the mastermind behind this and was extremely stubborn. "
Hearing Officer Wu's trouble, Lawyer Chen wished he could directly say Xiao Muting's name.
But just as he was about to make a move, Tang Shaofeng's warning eyes immediately shot towards him.
Understanding what Tang Shaofeng was thinking, Lawyer Chen backed off helplessly, his face showing that he was at a loss of what to do.
But why were Tang Shaofeng and the Lawyer Chen looking at things from the front and back, the reason was still because they did not want an innocent Su La to become a scapegoat.
If Xiao Muting did not reveal it, then not only would he drag Xiao Muting into this, he would also force him into this.
Because Tang Shaofeng did not have any evidence, he could only be seen as a reference by the police. However, if it was Xia Xue who did this, the result would be different.
"Officer Wu, can you let me meet with Xia Xue?" Tang Shaofeng suddenly made a request, causing Lawyer Chen and Officer Wu to not be able to react.
"Sure, I'll go and chase her back immediately." Maybe because he thought Tang Shaofeng had a way to force Xia Xue to hide a part of the truth, Officer Wu appeared to be very cooperative.
Fortunately, Xia Xue had not gone far and was very willing to talk with him.
Inside the quiet and sealed cell, Tang Shaofeng and Xia Xue sat facing each other, a calm and confident smile hanging on both of their faces.
"Xia Xue, after being used by Xiao Muting for such a long time, you aren't going to tell me that you're still suspecting that I killed your mother, right?"
Xia Xue bit her lips and did not speak. She only stared at Tang Shaofeng with her scarlet eyes.
Tang Shaofeng laughed wickedly before continuing, "After deceiving yourself for so long, are you really seeking justice for Fang Lan, or are you just trying to find a proper and reasonable excuse for your revenge? Don't tell me that you have never suspected Xiao Muting before. After all, you are not a person who can think twice before. "
Xia Xue still did not say a word, but her teeth chattered loudly, as if she was extremely embarrassed and angry at the same time.
Seeing that, Tang Shaofeng did not rush, but continued to guide her with a calm demeanor: "Is it worth it? You cover up his sins for him, but he pushes you into the mud. Xia Xue, do you really not want to return justice to Fang Lan? "
Hearing that, Xia Xue was so angry that he started laughing, and his laughter was so shrill and terrifying, "Justice? Tang Shaofeng, just give up! You're the one who killed my mother, that's what I think is the truth! Don't look at me with that pitying eyes. I won't regret it! If you didn't imprison me and my mother, we wouldn't have ended up like this. So, don't try to persuade me to turn the tables on you. I will definitely think of a way to prove your guilt and let you have a taste of what it feels like to have no day in the dark! "
Watching Xia Xue leave in a rage, Tang Shaofeng let go of the relaxed smile on his face, and turned serious and stern.
Initially, he thought that Xia Xue was deceived by something, and was determined to find out who the culprit was, so he planned to probe out what was wrong, and as a result, expose the fact that Xia Xue was being used.
But from the looks of it, there was no need for that. Xia Xue's starting point was not revenge, but revenge.
