Hearing Lu Shijia's words, Ruan Qingwan took a deep breath, suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, and sat down on the sofa next to Lu Shijia.
Seeing that, An Qingruo also sat down beside Ruan Qingwan.
The Nanny Wang's movements were quick, before five minutes had even passed, two cups of tea were brewed and brought over, she placed it in front of Ruan Qingwan and An Qingruo and respectfully said: "Madam, young miss, please have some tea."
With that said, Nanny Wang tactfully withdrew.
Ruan Qingwan drank a mouthful of tea, then looked at Lu Shijia and said: "Shijie, can you now explain to me exactly what happened?"
Lu Shijia nodded, and looked Ruan Qingwan in the eyes, as she said slowly: "Mom, you should have heard from Yuan Yuan that the culprit who killed father has been found, and the police case is now over."
Even if Ruan Qingwan had already heard it once, Ruan Qingwan would still be unable to control her emotions and instantly become excited after listening to it again. She clenched the teacup tightly, and after enduring for a while, she still could not resist, and with a loud thud, she smashed the teacup onto the tea table, causing the dark green tea water in the teacup to splash onto half of the table.
Ruan Qingwan's shrill voice sounded out immediately: "Shi Jia! Is the murderer you speak of the so-called male waiter? "
Looking at Ruan Qingwan's excited expression, Lu Shijia helplessly raised his hand and explained: "Mom, based on the current evidence, it is indeed pointed at the male waiter called Li Yi. What he left behind when he went to the coffee shop for recruitment is fake information, and the employees of the coffee shop all personally saw Li Yi enter Room 103 before the incident. Moreover, after father's incident, this Li Yi somehow ran out of the Yao City and went to hide in the countryside.
Ruan Qingwan ignored Lu Shijia's explanation and said emotionally, "No! That Li Yi was merely the scapegoat that Gong Lingqian had found for him! The real killer was obviously An Xingchen! It was An Xingchen who killed your father. "
Seeing that Ruan Qingwan was still so stubborn, Lu Shijia felt that his head was hurting even more. He really couldn't understand why his mother seemed to have fallen into his cup, insisting that An Xingchen was the murderer.
"Mom, there is evidence to identify the culprit. There is currently no evidence pointing to An Xingchen as the culprit." As she spoke, Lu Shijia's voice paused for a moment, then changed the subject and continued, "And I feel that the culprit isn't An Xingchen at all."
Sure enough, as soon as Lu Shijia said that, Ruan Qingwan's face changed, and stared at Lu Shijia in disbelief.
Lu Shijia met Ruan Qingwan's gaze and sighed in his heart. Previously, he didn't say this out loud because he was worried about his mother's condition, but now, it was impossible for him to not say it.
He didn't want to see his mother being so stubborn.
Thinking about Lu Shijia, who did not even wait for his excitement, he started the conversation: "Mom, I am actually not too familiar with An Xingchen, compared to her, you are more familiar with her. However, from the few times I have interacted with her, I can tell that An Xingchen is a very kind person, she does not seem to be someone who knows how to kill."
Ruan Qingwan heard Lu Shijia's words and her expression froze for a moment. Obviously, she did not expect Lu Shijia to say that, but after a few seconds, Ruan Qingwan came back to her senses, and her voice became even sharper: "I don't think An Xingchen intentionally pretended to be kind and innocent, but she is actually very scheming and vicious, otherwise, she would not have confused Gong Lingqian so much!"
Lu Shijia felt that Ruan Qingwan's words were getting more and more outrageous, and her brows immediately furrowed, as she spoke up to interrupt Ruan Qingwan: "Mom, you clearly know that An Xingchen isn't that kind of person, did you forget about the car accident? If An Xingchen is really the kind of person like you say she is, do you think she would even risk her life to save you and Father that time? "
"She wasn't even familiar with you and Dad in that car crash! Mom, do you really believe that a girl like this would kill dad? "
Lu Shijia's words instantly rendered Ruan Qingwan speechless.
The matter of An Xingchen saving her and Lu Yaozong, was deliberately forgotten by Ruan Qingwan ever since she fell to the ground. Or rather, it could be said that Ruan Qingwan purposely forced her to forget about it.
After being silent for nearly two full minutes, Ruan Qingwan's voice once again rang out. An Qingruo did save your father and me, but she was still involved in this matter! "
Lu Shijia held onto Ruan Qingwan's trembling hands because she was too agitated: "Mom, calm down. I have recently arranged for many people to look for evidence, and the police have been looking for evidence, but they haven't found any evidence that An Xingchen is the culprit."
"Moreover, the murderer has already been found. Mom, everything ends here. From the time of the accident till now, Dad is still lying in the cold freezer in the Police station's Forensic Room. It's already been half a month, do you still want Dad to continue lying in the freezer? "It's time to let daddy rest in peace."
Normally, for this kind of criminal case, if the case was never solved, the victim's corpse would always be kept in the Police station to gather evidence, and would only be allowed to cremate after the case was closed.
When Lu Shijia's last sentence fell, the entire hall fell into a period of silence.
Ruan Qingwan held her breath, her body stiff like a puppet. Lu Shijia's last sentence was like a sharp knife that unceremoniously stabbed into her chest.
That's right, ever since the incident, Ruan Qingwan had stubbornly wanted to catch the murderer, but she had forgotten about this point.
Right now, Lu Yaozong had been lying in the ice shelf for a long time so he must be very cold.
