Chapter 610 - Trouble That Arose Due to a Picture (1/2)
Someone wrote a script for Xu Siqi.
The script told her that she would be killed inside a swimming pool.
A normal person who saw such a script would feel afraid at the sight of water.
Quan Shaoteng raised his eyebrows and made a remark. “Maybe she thought that this was just a prank?”
“It’s a possibility.” Xiang Wan took a glance at him and smiled to herself. “However, such a possibility will only happen to people like Captain Quan.”
Quan Shaoteng nodded his head.
Soon, he started to feel something amiss.
“Hey, what do you mean?”
He asked Xiang Wan.
Xiang Wan shrugged nonchalantly, showing both hands. “It’s what I’ve said.”
Quan Shaoteng raised an eyebrow and looked displeased. “So what do you mean?”
Xiang Wan smiled. “People like Captain Quan who are tall and brave would treat this as a prank, think nothing of it and would not be afraid at all. If that’s not the case…”
“What about it?”
“They could only be a fool.”
“…”
A cold glint flashed past Quan Shaoteng’s face.
“Why do I feel that when you’re talking about me, you seem to hint that… I belong to the latter category?”
“Don’t bother about such details!” Xiang Wan laughed. Not waiting for him to respond, she walked over to Bai Muchuan’s side. “So, the person who came into the room after her death was the one who put the script into her luggage.”
Bai Muchuan nodded his head.
…
The police used the excuse of assisting with the investigations and brought Zhang Houfa back to Serious Crime Division One.
As for the workers in the villa, they sent more police officers to come over and conduct an on-the-spot questioning and investigation. They had thought that it would be easy to find the one who entered Xu Siqi’s room as there were not a lot of employees. Nonetheless, all the employees claimed that they didn’t know anything. None of them admitted it. As there was a lack of surveillance cameras there, they had no proof and this actually became a tough problem.
Zhang Houfa was brought to the interrogation room.
Xiang Wan went back to her office to put down her stuff. A while later, she heard footsteps outside.
“It’s lunchtime.”
She was not sure who said that loudly along the corridor.
It was noon.
Xiang Wan looked at the time and felt a little tired. She stretched herself and decided to go to the canteen.
While getting food from the canteen, Miao Zichen walked over to her.
“Hello.” She greeted her politely.
“Hello…” Xiang Wan returned a polite smile.
Xiang Wan didn’t know much about this beautiful girl who was in her prime. She simply chatted with her just like any colleague. Usually, the two of them didn’t have much contact. Even when they meet each other, they would just greet each other and nod their heads. As they exchanged a few more words that day, Miao Zichen sat opposite Xiang Wan.
There were only a few female police officers in Serious Crime Division One.
Xiang Wan didn’t mind that Miao Zichen sat opposite her either.
“Where’s Mei Xin?” she asked casually.
Miao Zichen took a look at her. “She’s a workaholic, so she’s still in the office.”
“I see.” Xiang Wan smiled. “You guys from the Forensic Team are rather hardworking as well.”
Originally, she was just trying to be polite to her by saying that. Miao Zichen suddenly went quiet, her eyes were on Xiang Wan’s face. She seemed to be scrutinizing her and appeared as if she had something to say.
Mm? Xiang Wan asked, “Why do you look at me this way?”
“Teacher Xiang.” Miao Zichen seemed a little awkward. “I have something that I wanted to ask you.”
“Mm?” Xiang Wan looked up at her with a puzzled expression then she smiled. “Go ahead.”
“Well… will that be rude of me?” she was hesitating.
Xiang Wan’s eyebrows crumpled up together.
In fact, she disliked people talking like this.
Hence, those who could get along with her were Mei Xin and Fang Yuanyuan, who were simple and straightforward.
Xiang Wan gave it a thought and smiled. “If you feel that it’s rude, then don’t ask. If you want to ask, then don’t worry about whether it’s rude or not.”
