Chapter 1226: No time to commit crime
The police left, and so did everyone else. The bustling clinic suddenly became deserted.
Qi Hui quickly pulled her husband into the room, closed the door, and asked anxiously, "Xiaoyue was taken away by the police. What should we do? What should we do?" Without waiting for Dr. Li to answer, she asked and answered herself, "Let's go to the police station now and report that the Luo brothers conspired to poison the old village chief!"
"Report? Do you have evidence?" Doctor Li asked, and held her shoulders on both sides of her body: "Calm down, didn't you just see how Xiaoyue questioned Jiansheng? And the village chief and others testified for Xiaoyue, Xiaoyue will be fine."
"It's all your fault!" Qi Hui pushed him away and accused him harshly, "You knew Jiansheng was not a good guy! He deliberately poisoned his own father and put the blame on us, extorting 200,000 yuan from Xiaoyue, and you still wanted to save him! Let this beast die, why save him? He slandered Xiaoyue as soon as he woke up!"
"With so many people watching, how can I not save him?" Doctor Li's face was full of helplessness. "The matter has not been investigated clearly. The fact that Jiansheng and his brothers poisoned the old village chief is just Xiaoyue's guess. It is possible that Xiaoyue misunderstood. Besides, I am a doctor. I can't watch Jiansheng die in front of me. Even if he is guilty, he should be severely punished by law."
"Law?" Qi Hui laughed until tears came out of her eyes. "Many people in the nearby villages killed their newborn daughters with their own hands. They are all living well as beasts, and no law has been passed to punish them severely."
Doctor Li: "...Calm down, Xiaoyue will be fine. The police will not arrest Xiaoyue without any evidence, just based on Luo Jiansheng's slander. They will probably release them this afternoon. We will wait for news at home, so don't make things worse."
After entering the interrogation room, Zhang Ran felt as relaxed as if he was at home. He leaned lazily back in his chair and narrated the whole story.
Officer Zhao looked through the cases related to Zhang Ran, raised his head and looked directly at her, "Leniency for those who confess, severity for those who resist. Tell the truth and try to get leniency."
"It seems that your illness is more serious than mine." Zhang Ran laughed. "I didn't commit any crime, so how can I get leniency if I confess? The villagers can all testify for me. I have no motive and no time to commit the crime."
Officer Zhao: "...You said you didn't have time to commit the crime. Didn't Qiuyu have time to commit the crime either?"
Zhang Ran: "She followed me closely, and one of the deceased was also staring at her. If you don't believe me, you can interrogate other people, they can all testify. You are a police officer, you must speak with evidence, otherwise you can wait for my legal team to sue you."
Officer Zhao: "..." Even if the two of them didn't have the time to commit the crime, Zhang Ran's current wealth means she must have other subordinates at her disposal. "If you don't tell me, and I find evidence to prosecute you directly, you will lose your last chance to survive. You'd better think it over. It's not too late to surrender now."
"Go find the evidence, righteous police officer."
Seeing Zhang Ran's sophisticated look, Officer Zhang stood up and ordered his men to continue questioning him, trying to find loopholes. He went to the interrogation room next door, trying to find evidence of Zhang Ran's crime from other people.
Soon, all the statements made by everyone were placed in front of Officer Zhang. He checked them carefully one by one and confirmed from the testimonies of many people that after Zhang Ran took Qiu Yu to the mourning hall, he went straight into the room to rest for the whole afternoon and did not come out of the room until dinner.
As for Qiu Yu, he sat at the door of the room and chatted with Luo Si, one of the dead, for the entire afternoon, during which he went to the toilet.
