Chapter 25 Arrested

The guards on the ship were in uniform, and helped the police who had rushed over to maintain order. When the investigation began, everyone remained silent and kept quiet.

In the quiet night, the atmosphere on the ship was very tense and strange. A cold wind blew, and Chi Yaoxi pulled her collar tightly.

The police officers asked each of them seriously and recorded, “Name! Show your ID! Where were you twenty minutes ago? Who can testify?”

A few people directly said that they were attending a gala event inside. A few friends sat together, and the police officer carefully observed their expressions. Finally, he said, “Pass!” and let them go.

At the end of the investigation, Chi Yaoxi and the other four people who had been on the deck at that time were all left behind. They said that they were the suspects of the incident and had to investigate again to confirm.

“The rest of you can move around freely. You guys, come over here!”

Chi Yaoxi was dumbfounded and panicked even more. What was going on? She had indeed stood on the deck for a while before going in to make a call. How did she become a suspect in an accident?

The cruise ship was still sailing. It was difficult to find someone to help. Chi Yaoxi picked up her phone and wanted to call Xiao Ye, but she hadn’t seen him since just now.

This action was immediately ordered to stop by the police, saying that during the investigation of the suspect, no contact with the outside world was allowed.

Although she did not do anything wrong, Chi Yaoxi felt deeply terrified and helpless at this moment.

The few of them were brought to a gloomy small room. After hearing the truth of the matter from the police, Chi Yaoxi was so shocked that her handbag fell to the ground.

It turned out that the person who fell into the water and died was the A-list actress Ye Ruifang!

Chi Yaoxi tried her best to remain calm, but she still felt her hair stand on end. Not long ago, she was still chatting with her on the deck, how could it be…

How could something so tragic happen?

After another round of rigorous screening, the surveillance footage showed that Chi Yaoxi was the last person to have close contact with the deceased, Ye Ruifang. She was highly suspicious.

Chi Yaoxi was still confused and did not understand what was going on. She was treated as a major suspect and taken away by the police directly.

Along the way, Chi Yaoxi remained silent because she knew that since they had already treated her as a major suspect, it meant that they had some evidence. Under such circumstances, it was useless even if she tried to explain. She still had to make a trip to the police station to record her statement and might even be locked up for a few days.

Fortunately, she had read books when she had nothing to do and knew some basic legal knowledge. According to the case procedures that she remembered, she had to be released within 24 hours if they did not find any relevant evidence.

Therefore, she could just stay in the detention center for a day and come out again.

In the chaos, no one saw a sinister smile on Mo Yuzhen’s face as she watched the police take Chi Yaoxi away. It seemed like God was helping her, causing this woman to have a huge accident at this time. Having become a suspect in the case, Chi Yaoxi was basically being splashed with dirt.
