Chapter 227: Chapter 227: Visitor from the Xia Family
Xia Chuyi quickly adjusted her emotions and shook off the despondency.
She went to hook Huo Shiqian’s hand, gently shaking it as she said, “Brother Shiqian, I want to ask Director Chang for a favor.”
Huo Shiqian clasped her hand in his and replied with a calm deanor, “Alright.”
In every corner of the room, from the edges of the door to other various nooks, so people with their ears perked up eavesdropped and thought to themselves: Wow, a man with a wife is treated differently, showered with love and affection!
Chang Luhui erged from the corner with a composed face and said loudly, “Comrade Chuyi, if you need anything, just instruct !”
Xia Chuyi: …
Was this a blatant admission of his eavesdropping?
Fortunately, Huo Shiqian rely gave Chang Luhui a glance and didn’t make an issue of it.
As for Xia Chuyi, she had pretty much gotten a handle on the temperants of Huo Shiqian’s subordinates—they were all shalessly thick-faced! She had to remain cool and collected, or she would be mortified in no ti.
She asked Chang Luhui, “Director Chang, I want to know if Xia Chengzu and Ma Ming have already been detained?”
Chang Luhui answered, “Both individuals have been taken into custody, but the main suspect of the cri still remains Xia Chengzong.”
The implication was clear: although both n had been captured, without new developnts, Xia Chengzong was still the most likely to be convicted.
Xia Chuyi nodded. She understood the principle of ‘when in doubt, there is fault’—a characteristic of this era.
“Director Chang, I hope you can send soone to Heshan Village, to the Xia Family, to inform their relatives that Xia Chengzu and Xia Chengzong have been detained—make it sound serious, especially with Ding Qianqian’s situation. Don’t let them know she is still alive.”
Chang Luhui scratched his head, a bit puzzled, “What do you an by that?”
But it was Huo Shiqian who calmly said, “Just do as Chuyi says.”
Anyway, it was clear where Huo Commander stood: his wife’s word was law.
“…Alright then,” Chang Luhui reluctantly agreed.
Xia Chuyi smiled and explained, “Don’t worry, Director Chang, I don’t have any other intentions. I just want to shake up the Xia Family mbers to get them to co to the Police Station as soon as possible. Once they arrive, things regarding the murderer will naturally beco clearer.”
Her words were pointed.
Chang Luhui, sowhat astonished, looked at her and asked, “You suspect the murderer… is one of the Xia brothers?”
Otherwise, why would the arrival of the Xia Family make the identity of the murderer clear?
“Let’s talk about it when they get here,” Xia Chuyi did not articulate further, “Also, if Ding Qianqian wakes up, please have soone notify imdiately.”
Chang Luhui pondered for a mont, then nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll arrange it.”
After Chang Luhui left, Huo Shiqian stroked her head and said, “Don’t worry, everything will be okay.”
“…Stop treating like a little girl,” Xia Chuyi couldn’t help but say.
Huo Shiqian glanced at her, his look saying: You’re not a little girl?
The twice-lifeti Old Monster was at a loss for words—fine, love makes one juvenile, it wasn’t her fault after all.
The main branch of the Xia Family arrived in the afternoon. Because the Police Station made the situation seem very serious, the Xia Family mbers imdiately got into the police car and followed them to the county.
Perhaps because they felt it was shaful, only two won from the Xia Family ca.
“Police comrades, this is an injustice. My grandson, Chengzu, is a good boy. He’s never even dared to kill chickens or ducks. How could he possibly murder soone?” Grandma Xia cried out as soon as she entered the gates of the Police Station.
He doesn’t kill chickens or ducks? Xia Chuyi thought to herself: That’s because he’s spoiled at ho, never doing any work, let alone killing chickens or ducks.
“Police comrades, believe , truly, my Chengzu is definitely wronged!” Grandma Xia kept shouting.
