“Hello, is this Miss Qiao Jin?”

The other party spoke politely. “This is the Nanping District Police…”

The call was from the police station.

Why were they looking for Qiao Jin? The reason was very simple. Tan Xuejia had been murdered.

She had been found dead in an alley that morning. The cause of her death was extreme blood loss. She was stabbed fifty-two times.

Due to the incredibly gruesome nature of the case, the police were investigating the clues.

There was nothing wrong with them seeking out Qiao Jin. After all, Qiao Jin was one of Tan Xuejia’s most frequent contacts, and some witnesses said that Qiao Jin and Tan Xuejia had been in conflict.

Thus, now Qiao Jin was theoretically a suspect.

She needed to go to the police station to record her statement.

Qiao Jin had expected this since early morning.

Therefore, she had no objections, and she went to the police station first thing.

When Qiao Fei saw that she went to the police station as soon as she went out, she was dumbstruck. She nearly fainted and quickly sent someone to investigate the matter.

As for Qiao Jin, when she arrived at the police station, a gentle-mannered female police officer greeted her.

“You knew the deceased, right?”

Qiao Jin nodded. “I knew her.”

Tan Xuejia had had an intimate relationship with her before, and she’d been one of Qiao Jin’s closest friends in the Imperial Capital.

But that was before.

When they’d spoken at the hospital a week ago, their relationship was already ruined.

“We have received word that you and the deceased allegedly had conflict before she died.”
