C156 (1/2)

As Gong Lingqian's voice fell, the middle-aged policeman named Brother Lin immediately coughed twice and spoke in a businesslike manner: ”Miss An, Mister Gong, the situation now is like this. If An Xingchen does not have evidence to prove the truth, then Miss An is the most suspicious, and will temporarily become our Police station's number one suspect.”

Just as the middle-aged policeman finished speaking, Gong Lingqian immediately frowned: ”Have you guys checked the video surveillance in the coffee shop?”

Of course, Gong Lingqian completely believed An Xingchen's words, so the fastest way to prove it was to check the surveillance footage.

The middle-aged policeman nodded his head in agreement after hearing Gong Lingqian's words, ”Mister Gong is right, checking the monitoring records is indeed the most direct method …”

The policeman paused for a second and then continued, ”However, because of the fire in the coffee shop, the computer with the surveillance records were accidentally burnt down during the fire. Even the surveillance records couldn't be found.”

When Gong Lingqian heard this, his frown deepened and his expression darkened.

Of course they didn't know, An Qingruo had long thought of this possibility, which was why she was able to knock down the scented candle in the end.

As long as they were on fire, not only would they destroy the scene, the surveillance records and the police officers who were in charge of investigating the case, they would also have the benefit of not being able to do anything and burn An Xingchen to death.

It was just that this time, it was An Xingchen who got lucky, thus the coffee shop manager was the first to rescue An Xingchen. If not, An Xingchen would have already been lying in the cold mortuary.

The middle aged policeman also knew about Gong Lingqian's power and status in the Yao City. Seeing Gong Lingqian's ugly expression, he did not say anything else.

Furthermore, the main issue right now was that the autopsy results on Lu Yaozong's side had not yet come out, the first scene of the fall had already been completely burnt, there were no unusual marks left behind, and only after finding out whether Lu Yaozong committed suicide or was pushed down and died, would they be able to continue investigating into this matter.

Furthermore, An Xingchen is still in the hospital, she is a patient, and has asked all the questions she could, so the middle-aged policeman said to An Xingchen and Gong Lingqian: ”Miss An, Young Master Gong, our people from Police station will be with Miss An in the hospital for the next few days. When the results of the dead Mr. Lu's autopsy are out, we ask Miss An to cooperate with our police investigation.”

When Gong Lingqian heard this, his expression instantly darkened, and his eyes coldly stared at the two policemen who were about to speak., who was at the side, saw how furious Gong Lingqian looked, and before Gong Lingqian could make a sound, he grabbed onto Gong Lingqian's hot palms, and shook his head at Gong Lingqian: ”It's okay, what I haven't done before is not for anyone to investigate.”

With that, An Xingchen's gaze turned towards the two policemen and said: ”Ok, I have the right to cooperate with your Police station's investigation.”

The middle aged policeman heaved a sigh of relief when he heard An Xingchen's words, ”Thank you for your cooperation, Miss An.”

After saying that, the middle-aged officer shot a glance at the young male police, and the two of them left the ward.

Only the young male police stayed behind to guard the hospital.

In the huge VIP private room, only An Xingchen and Gong Lingqian were left.

Gong Lingqian slightly knitted his brows, lovingly raised his hand and rubbed the top of An Xingchen's soft hair on the sickbed. His deep voice no longer had the previous iciness, but instead became a bit gentler: ”Don't be afraid, with me here, I will investigate this matter thoroughly.”

When An Xingchen heard Gong Lingqian's words, her heart felt warm, and her pale little face revealed a rare sign of weakness. She nodded at Gong Lingqian, ”Mn, as long as you're here, I won't be afraid.”

Saying that, An Xingchen's voice paused, she looked at Gong Lingqian, the smile on her lips deepened, and she could not help but say: ”You haven't even figured out the truth, and you trust me so much? Aren't you afraid that I will lie? ”
