She had been waiting for news from Pei Qinghan all night, but unfortunately, there was no news. Instead, what ca was the arrival of soone from the procuratorate.
The prosecutor from Capital City, sent specifically to investigate the case of Bai Xiangxiang, was a man at the head of the group, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, wearing a pair of gold-rimd glasses that made him look extrely amiable. Of course, that was if one could ignore the sharp gleam behind those lenses.
Jian Junjie, a man with a remarkable record of success, had never lost a case when he was a lawyer. Having such a person set his sights on her was not a good thing.
However, Bai Ran, thinking she was clever, had ultimately drawn this person to her.
"Miss Ji, I’ve long admired your reputation," Jian Junjie said with a smile, extending his hand.
Yun Ya extended her hand and gently shook his, her smile flawless, "Hello, may I ask who you are...?"
Jian Junjie took out his ID, "I am Jian Junjie from the Supre People’s Procuratorate, the Chief Prosecutor. There is a case that requires Miss Ji’s cooperation in the investigation, and I hope Miss Ji can assist us with our work."
Yun Ya smiled, "I would be happy to."
"Aunt Li, bring so tea."
Jian Junjie waved his hand, "No need."
Yun Ya raised an eyebrow, "Would you like to do it here, or shall we go to the procuratorate?"
Jian Junjie smiled. In just a few short sentences, he had already made a judgnt in his heart. This Ji Yunya was, indeed, as difficult a character as he had expected. Although all the evidence in the case pointed to Bai Xiangxiang, when he went through all the clues, he found a person who was easy to overlook—this very Ji Yunya. Combining the surveillance footage from that night with witness testimonies, Ji Yunya could not be eliminated from suspicion. However, because the conclusive evidence on Bai Xiangxiang was too much, people naturally overlooked Ji Yunya’s key role in the case.
His intuition honed in on Ji Yunya, which was why he had made the trip today.
"No need, I just have a few questions to ask, and I hope Miss Ji will answer truthfully."
Yun Ya nodded, "Of course."
The accompanying prosecutor took out a voice recorder and notebook to start recording.
"I believe Miss Ji is not unfamiliar with Bai Xiangxiang’s case," Jian Junjie’s gaze stayed calmly fixed on Ji Yunya across from him, not missing any slight change in her expression.
Yun Ya sighed, "I didn’t expect that Xiangxiang would kill soone. I still can’t believe it even now."
"Oh? Does Miss Ji also think that Bai Xiangxiang has killed soone?"
"The court’s verdict has already been issued. Even if I find it hard to believe, I cannot distrust the justice of the law." That was a beautifully put statent.
Jian Junjie nodded, "Indeed, the law is just, never wronging a good person, and never letting a bad person go."
Yun Ya raised an eyebrow, "What does Chief Prosecutor Qin think, is Xiangxiang a good person or a bad one?"
"Good or bad cannot be generalized; we must speak with evidence."
"Miss Ji, please talk about your whereabouts on the night of the incident, what ti you saw whom, and please be as detailed as possible. This way, we can also clear Miss Bai of suspicion as soon as possible."
"Is that so? I will certainly hold nothing back," Yun Ya curved her lips, thoroughly recounting where she was that night, whom she t, and her activities without any omissions.
"So you’re saying that Miss Ji appeared at the Bai Family’s back door at 18:15 that evening? Was there any suspicious activity, or did you encounter anyone?"
Yun Ya shook her head, "No, I went through the back door because I didn’t want to face the reporters. Aunt Bai, Bai Ran’s aunt which is also Xiangxiang’s aunt, is aware of this matter. She sent soone to et ; you can confirm this with that person."
"May I then ask, Miss Ji, do you have any personal grudges with Bai Xiangxiang?"
"No, I don’t actually have much interaction with her. Her aunt is my stepmother, so we’ve t a few tis and that’s about it—nothing more than a nodding acquaintance."
"What is the relationship between Miss Ji and Mr. Pei?"
"Sorry, that involves my personal privacy, and I have the right to refuse to answer."
Jian Junjie raised an eyebrow, "According to investigations, Bai Xiangxiang and Mr. Pei were quite intimate that night, and Miss Ji has been seen at the Pei Family residence multiple tis. This shouldn’t be a coincidence, correct?"
"Are all your investigations based on conjecture?" Yun Ya’s tone was unabashedly mocking.
Jian Junjie’s eyes narrowed slightly, about to say sothing more, when his cell phone suddenly rang, interrupting him. He checked the caller ID, "Excuse , I need to take this call."
"By all ans."
Yun Ya watched Jian Junjie walk over to the bay window to take the call, her eyes narrowing slightly.
This man was indeed not easy to fool. He had seized upon the key issue instantaneously. If she had known it would be so troubleso, she would have eliminated the body and the evidence right from the start.
