920 A Million Times for You 282 (2/2)

Thinking that it made sense, Shi Qingzhou responded, ”Okay.”

Tuoba Shuo, on the other hand, replied, ”I actually think there may be two possible reasons that they asked you to help out at the police station. First, they want you there so that they can observe you every moment, to see if you'll give yourself away. Secondly, …”

He paused for a moment before going on, ”It's very possible that Gucheng and Shishi are playing a huge game of chess. Maybe they're very certain that you did it, but if there's no evidence to pin it to you, they might make some up.”

”I understand what you mean, Father. I'll be extremely careful.” She had to admit that her father's words gave her a timely reminder.

Tuoba Gucheng would definitely settle this matter perfectly. After all, those were his in-laws, weren't they?

She went upstairs and opened her wardrobe, carefully selecting a long dress.

It was an off-shoulder black dress.

Since she was going to the Lin residence, she naturally would not wear any bright colors. If she dared to, she would immediately be on the headlines.

Usually, when she was investigating a case, An Xiaoning would always wear flats and clothes that were suitable for physical activity.

But today, she did not.

Not only did she wear a dress, she also put on high heels.

Without bringing anyone with her, she drove there alone.

The media reporters were all gathered around the front gate as they were not allowed inside and could only wait outside.

Seeing An Xiaoning come down from her car, the group of them surrounded her tightly and did not leave a single empty spot for her to go through.

”Ms. An, can you answer a few questions of ours?”

Multiple microphones were shoved near her mouth. Her tone was flat as she replied, ”What questions?”

”We heard you cut off ties with the Lin family. Before this happened to the Lin family, were you still in contact with them?”

An Xiaoning responded, ”No. Since I cut off ties with them, isn't it a bit unnecessary to remain in contact? No matter what, we used to be family. So, since something has happened to them now, I can't stand by and do nothing either. I've come down not only to attend the funeral but also to help out in investigating this case. After all, the Bureau Chief asked me himself.”

Her explanation was so perfect that it explained everything clearly.

”Then, Ms. An, may I know how much confidence you have with regard to this case?”

An Xiaoning kept silent for a moment before responding, ”That depends, because I have yet to investigate the crime scene. Alright, I'm going in now.”

Squeezing through the crowd, she finally managed to pass through the front door of the Lin residence.

After passing through the door, she headed inside slowly.

She had a small bag slung over her shoulder, with some important things contained inside.

The mourning hall was set in front of the living room, and someone was busy settling things there. When the police saw her arrive, Pan Zhenghui led them over to her.

An Xiaoning asked under her voice, ”Tell me honestly, who called you to ask me here?”

Pan Zhenghui scanned around and replied in a low voice, ”It was the President who called me. Look, you're regarded so highly. He even acknowledged you as a capable fortune-teller in our country.”

An Xiaoning maintained a calm expression, but she instantly understood something.

She did not say anything further and went straight into the investigation. ”How's the investigation going? Are there any clues?”

Pan Zhenghui shook his head. ”There isn't even a single fingerprint found, nor are there any footprints. Don't even talk about clues. It's like it was done by a ghost. Tell me, isn't this strange? The door was locked from the inside.”

An Xiaoning nodded. ”Come, let's go. Where is His Majesty now? ”

”He's upstairs consoling Madam. She's suffered a really huge blow. The President said if you're here, you're to go and find him first.”

”Okay.”
