Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After Zhou’s mother finished talking, not only Su Xuan but also the nearby police officers were shocked.
Everyone knew how much Zheng Qin loved Zhou Hao. So, seeing Zhou Hao’s funeral right in front of them, Zhou’s parents actually believed that Zheng Qin was the one who killed him?
“Hiss…”
Su Xuan thought for a moment.
He turned to look, and Zhou Qiang and the others had already stepped back, shaking their heads at him.
They could all see that Zhou’s mother was on the edge of losing her mind. In other words, she might have a breakdown because of her son’s death.
The best thing to do now was to have someone come and take her away.
With only two suspects left and the clues running out, they had to go check on them. They couldn’t waste time here.
At first, Su Xuan had the same idea.
However…
He looked at Zhou’s mother, who had teary eyes for some reason, and his heart skipped a beat.
“Then…”
“Show me your evidence.”
“Is it a recording? Or something else?”
Su Xuan asked. As soon as he said that, Zhou Qiang immediately closed his eyes, unable to bear it!
Damn it!
Had Su Xuan lost his mind?
It was clear they couldn’t just go along with Zhou’s mother’s words like this!
If they accepted it, later on, when Zhou’s mother caught him about Zheng Qin…
If they weren’t careful, it could easily turn into a situation where the police had already decided Zheng Qin was guilty!
They’d been in such situations before!
If someone was truly paranoid, Su Xuan’s actions now could make him look unjust!
With a deep sigh, Zhou Qiang took a breath and walked towards Su Xuan, with everyone watching.
“Zhao Laidi, whether the stuff on your phone is a voice recording or a video, we need to talk about having some proof now.”
“If you can’t be sure about what you’re saying, you might have to take legal responsibility.”
“Are you really sure you want to reveal what’s in your phone?”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Laidi, who had eagerly pulled out her phone after Su Xuan’s words, suddenly looked nervous.
She had rushed over earlier today upon hearing that Zheng Qin had taken her son out, and something bad had happened to him. She wanted the police to catch that awful person!
But when it came to evidence…
She only had half of the recording in her phone.
After all, earlier today, they had just casually talked about it in the living room.
What Zheng Qin had said was something they didn’t know before.
If Zhao Jianguo and Zhao Laidi had known from the beginning that it was Zheng Qin who took their son out for dinner and that led to his death…
They wouldn’t have paid any attention to Zheng Qin!
That was their son, whom they had worked hard to raise!
That awful bitch, she deserved to die!
“I…”
“My recording isn’t complete…”
“But Zheng Qin admitted to it herself…”
Zhao Laidi’s words weren’t finished yet.
Outside, hurried footsteps could already be heard approaching.
Then, the office door was pushed open, and a police officer hurriedly led Zheng Qin inside.
“Auntie!”
“Why are you here?”
“You’re causing trouble for the officers by coming here like this!”
“I’ve said it before, I’m not the one who harmed Hao Ge! Why won’t you believe me?”
Zheng Qin was already on the brink of madness due to her boyfriend’s death.
In the past few days, she had been dealing with the death certificate and funeral arrangements for Zhou Hao.
That’s why, in her emotionally fragile state, she had mentioned the details of their dinner to Zhou Jianguo and his wife.
When she heard Zhao Laidi’s crazed insistence that she go to the police station to confess, Zheng Qin knew that she was probably…
Misunderstood!
“No! It’s you!”
Zhao Laidi didn’t listen to Zheng Qin and instead forcefully pushed her away.
She stood up unsteadily, her face wild and frantic.
“It was you who took my son out to eat!”
“You’ve been with him for so many years, didn’t you know he wasn’t in good health?”
“Why did you let him go out with you without his medication?”
“Why did you go out with him and not have his medicine ready?”
“Zheng Qin, Zheng Qin!”
“If my son hadn’t gone out to eat with you, he wouldn’t have encountered this!” ‘You’re the one who killed him! This is your sin, and you can’t hide from it!” Zhao Laidi’s words left Zheng Qin initially wanting to respond, but her face suddenly turned pale.
In fact, since her boyfriend’s death until now…
Zheng Qin had been tormented by this incident.
Every day, she couldn’t help but think that if she hadn’t insisted on her boyfriend going out to eat with her, this wouldn’t have happened…
But…
“I really am not a murderer! Auntie!”
“I admit that you may resent me because of what happened to Hao Ge.”
“But if you rush the police into closing the case like this, you’ll let the real killer go free!”
“Are you willing to watch the real killer, the one who actually caused Hao Ge’s death, roam free out there?”
As Zheng Qin spoke, Zhao Laidi, who had been about to go on a rampage, suddenly fell silent.
Reason told her that Zheng Qin was speaking the truth.
But emotionally, she couldn’t accept the woman who had harmed her son!
“Old lady, let’s go back.”
In the midst of the tense atmosphere, a voice suddenly sounded in their ears.
It was Zhou Jianguo, who had walked over at some point.
His face was somewhat serious, and anger welled up in his eyes.
But in the end, he sighed and compromised.
“But…”
Zhao Laidi didn’t want to leave. Their son had just started his life, and he died at the wrong moment…
And it was all because of this woman, Zheng Qin!
“I’m going back,” Zhou Jianguo said, slamming his hand on the table, clearly holding back his anger…
Zhao Laidi trembled all over, not daring to argue with her husband.
She didn’t say anything to Su Xuan and the others either, just got up and prepared to leave with Zhou Jianguo.
Zheng Qin immediately wanted to follow them.
After all, they were her boyfriend’s parents.
Even though Zhou Hao was gone now, Zheng Qin couldn’t abandon his parents…
However, as soon as her footsteps caught up, Zhou Jianguo stopped.
He looked at her with cold eyes.
“I’m sorry, Miss Zheng.”
“While my son’s death may not have much to do with you, if he had his medication at the time…”
“He might not have died.”
“I hope you won’t follow us. I can barely control myself now, not hitting you is the last bit of my sanity!”
Zheng Qin’s steps froze in place.
Seeing this, Zhou Jianguo and his wife left the police station.
Before they left, they apologized to Su Xuan and also inquired about their son’s murder case and its progress.
“Sorry,” Su Xuan said, and Zhou Jianguo understood that his son’s situation was complicated, so he left without hearing any updates.
Now, it was clear that arranging their son’s funeral was a more pressing matter…
Meanwhile, Su Xuan looked at Zheng Qin, who was still standing there, and narrowed his eyes.
“Miss Zheng, can I ask you a few more questions?”
Zheng Qin: ?
