The Problem with Marrying Rich: Out of the Way, Ex

Chapter 1039: Those Are Baseless Accusations!

He could not take any extreme measures against this couple who had lost their daughter either.

Inspector Liu handed him a document and said, “We managed to find some clues yesterday. We discovered one of Wang Lan’s earrings near a harbor in the western part of Lin City. Moreover, we also found a witness yesterday and she testified that she saw someone who looked like Wang Lan board a yellow taxi at 28 Jinhai Road at Ye City. Then, we combed through the closed-circuit cameras along Jinhai Road and saw that Wang Lan had indeed boarded a taxi. However, when we approached the taxi company, the company said that this wasn’t their taxi and the license plates didn’t tally either. We found out that the license plate was fake after we dug deeper and the taxi had been taken from a scrap pile and re-modified. This shows that someone had been following Wang Lan for a while. We’re still looking for this taxi and we hope to be able to track it down soon.”

Ye Hao frowned as he listened to Inspector Liu and he could already guess that Wang Lan had been murdered.

He turned away and let out a soft sigh. He couldn’t help but think of Wang Lan’s parents who seemed to have lost their minds because they were so upset after their daughter had disappeared.

“Are you sure that Han Xue is involved in this?” Ye Hao asked.

“We arrested her yesterday and we will continue interrogating her. However, we haven’t gathered any concrete evidence that could implicate her at the moment,” Inspector Liu said truthfully.

He suspected that Han Xue knew more than she let on, so they’d have to see what they could get out of her.

——

Han Xue was led into the interrogation room once again. However, this time, she was wearing handcuffs. The cold, hard metal felt like knives on her skin and made her feel even worse.

The police officer in charge of interrogating her today was still the same female officer who had interrogated her before. Han Xue felt even more anxious when she saw that it was the same female officer.

Her face was completely flushed, her eyes swollen, and her hair was in a mess. She looked completely unlike her usual beautiful and elegant self. This time, she looked like a madwoman.

“We meet again, Han Xue,” the female police officer said with a smile. She held a plastic baton in her hand.

Han Xue bit her lips and stared straight at the floor, as though she was afraid of meeting the gaze of this female officer. She was afraid of this female officer because she knew that this female officer would hit her.

“Since you seem reluctant to exchange greetings, I’ll get straight to the point,” the police officer said. “Han Xue, you have murdered Wang Lan who threatened to expose your plot to harm others because you were afraid of losing your status as Mrs. Ye.”

The police officer sounded very fierce and Han Xue couldn’t help but shudder at her words.

“I did not,” Han Xue continued to deny her actions. “I didn’t murder Wang Lan. As police officers, you can’t make baseless accusations.”

She sounded very agitated and her handcuffs clinked several times. Her face was so flushed that she looked as though she had applied rogue all over her face. Her anxiety and nervousness were clearly reflected in her eyes.

The police officer retorted, “Are you sure that you didn’t murder her? If you did not commit this crime, why did you leave the Ye mansion to stay at a hotel? Why did you check out of the hotel in the middle of the night and get into Xu Qiang’s car? I’m sure you must know that Xu Qiang is an ex-convict. He was sentenced to five years in jail for peddling drugs eight years ago and he had only been released three years ago. Why did you give up your status as Mrs. Ye to hang out with this hooligan in the middle of the night!”

Han Xue was speechless.

She froze in shock and she couldn’t stop shivering. What did she just hear? Was Xu Qiang really an ex-drug dealer?
