C231 Question

Yao Jing also heard some of Lin Xi's movements on the phone.

His heart sank as he asked Lin Xi: "Is it the police?"

"He's already outside the door." Lin Xi frowned and looked at the door. She answered Yao Jing's question while listening to the bodyguards and the police talking to each other.

She said, "It's time for me to hang up.

A bodyguard can't stop the police, people will probably enter the mansion very soon. "

"Wait, Miss Linxi," Qin Yu called Lin Xi, signalling sher not to hang up, he hurriedly spoke into the phone, "The police have come to visit this time, is very likely to bring you to the police station to ask. During the interrogation, if you have any questions you don't know how to answer, just answer them 'don't know', just perfunctory."

The reason for Li Muqing's death was due to him in the end, so it was reasonable that the police would ask him to question them at the police station. But now, as he could not find out what kind of "new evidence" the police just got, just to be safe, Yao Jing instructed Lin Xi to speak carefully when he reached the police station.

Lin Xi paused for a moment before saying, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

She then looked at the baby that was anxiously looking at her, and requested Yao Jing to call her: "There is a high chance that I will not be able to escape to the police station, get East Suburb Villa over here, and bring the baby over to your place."

Lin Xi could go to the police station, but she had to entrust the baby to someone she trusted.

"Alright, I'll go to the mansion now and fetch it myself." Yao Jing answered from the other end of the phone, but was still worried and told Lin Xi: "I have already entrusted the lawyer to the police station to take a look around, when you arrive at the police station, first tell them that you are pregnant, that way they won't dare to do anything to you."

Pregnant women are given preferential treatment on any occasion or under any circumstances.

Just as Yao Jing finished speaking, he heard the sound of the door opening and was about to enter.

Lin Xi did not have the time to say goodbye to Yao Jing. She quickly hung up the phone and before the police entered, she put his phone back into her pocket.

Just then, three men and a woman, four men in uniform, entered the living room on the first floor from the open door.

The four of them looked around and saw Lin Xi sitting on the sofa in the living room, so they stepped forward and said: "Hello, Miss Linxi, we are..."

"I know what you're going to say." Lin Xi interrupted the police with a step ahead of him and turned to look at the suspicious baby. "Let me bring the little kid into the house first?"

It was indeed not easy to talk about a life and death matter in front of a child.

The leading policeman nodded his head, indicating that Lin Xi could do it.

Lin Xi then stood up, and carried the baby, bringing him to the toy room on the second floor.

When they arrived at the toy room, the baby peeked through the half-opened door and peeked downstairs. She asked Lin Xi, "Are all the uncle and aunt outside police?"

"Yes." Lin Xi replied.

"Then why did they come to our house?" the baby asked.

In the hearts of children, the police are the representative of justice, used to punish bad people, save people from fire and water. The baby naturally didn't think that his parents were bad people, so he didn't think that these people were here to arrest people.

Therefore, he was not afraid at all when he saw so many policemen. He was just curious.

Lin Xi naturally could not tell her baby the truth. She thought for a bit, then made up a reason to coax her baby: "Maybe Grandma Liu's dog next door has been lost again."

Not long ago, a grandma Liu from the villa complex lost a Beiba that she had raised for several years. She called the police and they came to help grandma Liu find the dog. The baby had seen it before.

The baby didn't doubt Lin Xi's words. After hearing it, she nodded her head in confidence.

Lin Xi then took the chance and continued to coax the baby: "Daddy's phone is unable to reach right now, so I decided to personally go out and find Daddy later. When Uncle Yao Jing comes back to pick you up later, can you play with him in the afternoon?"

The baby didn't want to leave Lin Xi, but hearing from Lin Xi that she was going to look for her dad, she still hesitantly nodded her head and said, "Then you and your dad should come back early."

"I will." Lin Xi hugged the baby again, and after comforting him, he went out and went downstairs again.

Under the gazes of the four policemen, Lin Xi slowly sat back on the sofa and asked them: "You came to find me because of Li Muqing's suicide, right?"

"Miss Linxi's foresight is great, I only heard half a sentence from us, and he already guessed the purpose of our trip?" Amongst the four of them, a police officer whose face was so thin that it was slightly sunken spoke sarcastically towards Lin Xi.

His tone was particularly unpleasant.

Lin Xi looked at him, and retorted in a bad tone, "You guys captured my husband last night, and now you bring so many people to my house. If they aren't here to capture me, could it be something else?"

Afraid that the situation would escalate, the only policewoman in the line hurriedly explained, "We're not trying to arrest you and your husband. We just want you guys to go to the police station and ask around to help with the investigation."

However, Lin Xi continued to speak in a cold voice, "But from last night when my husband was taken away, it has already been a dozen or so hours.

Lin Xi's arrogant attitude once again angered the thin police officer from before.

He retorted at Lin Xi, "We have the right to detain him for a full twenty-four hours."

"Oh," Lin Xi suddenly said in a long voice, "That means, by the end of the night, Qin Yu will be released tonight."

The skinny police finally realised that he was tricked just now, and immediately glared at Lin Xi, feeling extremely vexed in her heart.

Amongst the four policemen, the leader timely said: "If Mr. Qin is truly innocent, we will definitely let him go."

"Of course he's innocent." Lin Xi said with certainty.

The skinny police reflexively provoked Lin Xi again, "Whether I am innocent or guilty, it depends on the evidence, it is not something that can be proven by what you say."

But this time, when Lin Xi finished listening to his words, not only did she not get angry, she even raised the corner of her mouth into a smile.

She said, "You are very correct, but I can hear from your words that you are currently angry because you did not have any evidence to convict Qin Yu."

It was obvious that he was angry. If he could use that new piece of evidence to incriminate Qin Yu, he would not have this kind of attitude right now. He should be proud of himself.

This meant that although the police now had a new piece of evidence, this new evidence could only increase Qin Yu's suspicion. However, it was not enough to convict Qin Yu — — Of course, Qin Yu was innocent and did not have a crime to be decided.

This was also the reason why the police department had delayed for so long and refused to release him …

However, even though she knew that that piece of evidence wasn't enough to cause substantive harm to Qin Yu and that Qin Yu would probably be released tonight, Lin Xi still couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief in her heart.

However, Lin Xi was relieved. That skinny policeman kept leaking information to him, and he got quite angry at himself.

One could tell that he was young and angry, a person who was not good at hiding his emotions. It was also because of this that Lin Xi chose to trick him.

The thin policeman was so angry that he wanted to say something, but he was interrupted by the policewoman beside him.

The pain from his arm allowed the police to calm down a little.

The Lin Xi in front of him was simply too shrewd, and was good at using words as well. At this time, he really did say more mistakes, and it was better for him to just shut her mouth.

The skinny policeman unwillingly tilted his head and stopped talking with Lin Xi.

The policeman who was leading the four of them should be the leader. He seemed to be a lot more calm and experienced. He cleared his throat and said straightforwardly: "Miss Linxi, time is of the essence, let's not waste any more words. Our purpose in coming here is indeed to invite you to the police station to assist us in investigating Li Muqing's fall."

"Sure," Lin Xi agreed readily. "Cooperating with the judicial investigation is the duty of every citizen. I agree to follow you guys to the police station."

Lin Xi's answer was easier than they expected. The few policemen looked at each other, then took Lin Xi and left East Suburb Villa, getting into the police car that was supposed to return to the police station.

Half an hour later, the group returned to the police station and started interrogating Lin Xi.

Lin Xi still maintained a very good attitude, answering anything she asked, simply speaking without reserve, cooperating very well.

However, she didn't know much about Li Muqing jumping down to commit suicide, so she didn't have much effective information to answer. The police who interrogated her started to suspect that she was intentionally hiding it from them.

Lin Xi quickly discovered that other than the thin police officer who brought him to the police station, the two people who had questioned her previously also held a prejudice towards her and Qin Yu. It was as if they had already tacitly acknowledged in their hearts that they were Li Muqing's killers.

It seemed that she had underestimated that new piece of evidence. Although that new evidence couldn't convict her and Qin Yu, it could mislead the majority of people and make them believe that Li Muqing's death was caused by her and Qin Yu …

And working with subjective prejudices would definitely affect the objectivity and fairness of the investigation. The situation before their eyes was simply too disadvantageous for her and Qin Yu.

Lin Xi was quiet for a while, when the policemen in front of her interrogated her again, she started to use her stomachache as an excuse, and refused to answer questions, asking to rest for a while.

On the way to the police station, she had already mentioned the matter of her pregnancy. She was only a suspect and not a true criminal, so even if the police thought that Lin Xi's "stomachache" was fake, they couldn't really force a pregnant woman.

In the end, the policeman could only let her say as she pleased, "Since you are not feeling well, then let us rest for a while. I will ask you about this later."

Lin Xi knew that she was being unreasonable, but she had no choice.

Just as he was about to leave the interrogation room, Lin Xi suddenly called out to him. "I want to meet Qin Yu, is it possible?"

"Of course not." When he heard her say that she wanted to see Qin Yu, he rejected her without a trace of politeness.

He scoffed and said, "You and your wife are both suspects now, isn't letting you two meet each other the same as giving you a chance to collude with each other and confess?"
