Chapter 180: The Suspect’s Wife Is Here?
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“What kind of organization are you people from? How can you just arrest people like this?”
“My husband was working diligently at the school, and you people just arrested him. Is there no justice left?”
“Release my husband immediately!”
“Otherwise, I won’t leave here today!”
The woman showed no sign of noticing the officer’s silent frustration. In front of the many onlookers in the lobby, she banged on the service counter, making a loud noise.
She continued to shout out loud.
The officer took a deep breath and forced a smile. “Ma’am, may I ask who your husband is?”
Meanwhile, in the office, Su Xuan was about to head to the interrogation room to check on Qian Gui when the phone on his desk unexpectedly rang.
Su Xuan paused and returned to answer the call.
“Hello, this is Su Xuan.”
“Officer Su.”
The female officer on the other end of the line had a stiff expression but managed to muster a polite smile as she squeezed out a sentence.
“Could you please come to the lobby right now?”
“I have a woman here claiming that you arrested her husband.”
“His name is Qian Gui…”
Upon hearing the name, Su Xuan raised an eyebrow.
Qian Gui had been silent for quite some time. What was he planning? It seemed he had an ace up his sleeve.
But could an unreasonable woman really get him released? Wasn’t the police station a place where people came and went as they pleased?
As Su Xuan thought about it, he hung up the phone and put the papers back on the desk. He was getting ready to go to the lobby to check on the situation. How bold was this woman causing trouble at the police station?
He quickly went down the stairs and headed toward the lobby.
Meanwhile, in the lobby, the woman watched as the female officer ended the phone call. She had been boasting earlier, and now she felt proud. She believed that if she could be so tough, she could definitely get the policeman who took her husband away to come down too.
Who were they to just arrest her husband like this?
The woman’s name was Wang Li, and she had known Qian Gui for three years, having been married for two. Usually, Qian Gui lived in a rented room while Wang Li worked as a maid in someone else’s house. She had come back on her day off to visit Qian Gui at the school when she got the news that he had been arrested.
The person who told her was the school’s security guard.
Seeing Su Xuan make Qian Gui collapse with a balloon hammer had left the security guard wondering how that was possible. So, when Wang Li found out her husband had been arrested, she was far from happy and came straight to the police station.
Now, Wang Li stood at the service counter holding something, refusing to move aside, no matter what the female officer said. She was determined to stand her ground, convinced that she needed to assert her dominance. What if the police didn’t release her husband?
The female officer: ?!
Luckily, Su Xuan arrived quickly.
[Ding! Criminal detected, please catch as soon as possible!]
Before he even entered the building, he heard an electronic beep and saw a red dot flashing in front of him. His steps, which had been moving forward, paused as he thought about the red dot. Then, once again, he heard the woman’s confident voice.
“Why hasn’t he come yet?”
“Are you guys trying to fool me?”
“Let me tell you, I’m not easily scared. If this cop doesn’t show up soon, I’m staying right here!”
Su Xuan: Looks like I don’t need to think about it.
He walked right in.
Wang Li was screaming at the top of her lungs, not taking the police station lobby seriously at all. She treated it as if it were a marketplace. Su Xuan stood right in front of her and flashed a smile.
“Hello, ma’am, I’m Su Xuan.”
Upon hearing this, Wang Li, who had been making a fuss, immediately turned her head to look at him. “You’re the one who arrested my husband?”
She gave Su Xuan a quick once-over and immediately made a disgusted expression. “You’re not much, are you? Just a blind cop. Why do you have the right to arrest my husband? Hurry up and release him, or I’ll file a complaint against you!”
She pointed to the badge on Su Xuan’s chest as she spoke.
Wang Li was feeling excited as she said these words. She couldn’t believe she was actually arguing with a police officer and believed she could get her husband released from the officer’s grip. That was really impressive, in her opinion.
Then, the next moment…
*Click!*
She felt a cold sensation around her wrist.
Wang Li: ???
Wang Li’s once arrogant expression froze on her face.
Instinctively, she lowered her head.
But she noticed something new on her wrist—a silver bracelet.
The swinging chains between the bracelet’s links seemed to mock her foolishness.
“What do you mean?”
“I came to get you to release my husband. I haven’t done anything wrong. Why did you arrest me?”
She seemed like she wanted to attack Su Xuan like a madwoman.
But how could Su Xuan let her land a blow?
He took a step back, simultaneously speaking to her with a calm tone, facing her shocked gaze.
“Wang Li, you are suspected of stealing your employer’s jewelry and selling it.
We need your cooperation for our investigation.”
“As for your husband, Qian Gui…”
“He’s suspected of child molestation…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Wang Li’s eyes widened in disbelief, and she started shouting.
“No, it’s impossible!”
‘Tve never stolen anything…”
“My husband is not that kind of person!”
“You’re defaming my husband and me!”
“Let go of me…”
Wang Li wanted to say more, but it was too late.
Su Xuan took her straight to another interrogation room.
As she was leaving, Wang Li continued to shout, hoping that someone would come to her aid.
But her earlier behavior in the lobby had not been well-received, and now she was being arrested by the police…
No one would choose to help her.
In the end, Wang Li was taken away.
Even as she entered the interrogation room, Wang Li continued to scream.
However, Su Xuan had already taken his seat across from her, his expression serious as he watched her.
Perhaps due to the solemn atmosphere of the interrogation room, Wang Li’s voice gradually faded away.
Finally, she sat in the chair, lowered her head, and no longer displayed the arrogant attitude she had before.
She spoke in a low voice.
“I really haven’t stolen anything, I haven’t!”
“Arresting me like this, you’re in the wrong. You’re breaking the law!”
Breaking the law?
Who was really breaking the law here?
“Do you think we don’t have evidence?” Su Xuan asked.
His words silenced Wang Li, who had been insisting that she hadn’t stolen anything, and that Su Xuan was defaming her.
She kept her head down, and her face remained hidden.
But there was still an unmistakable sense of discontent emanating from her.
He had encountered many suspects like her, unwilling to cooperate and convinced they could walk away.
He didn’t speak, he was waiting.
Sure enough, it didn’t take long for Zhou Qiang to come over with a stack of documents.
Inside were the very materials that Su Xuan had asked him to look into after arresting Wang Li.
“Take a look,” Su Xuan said as he placed the items in front of Wang Li.
Wang Li didn’t move, but that was fine; her eyes could see the tabletop.
At the top of the pile of documents was a photo of her selling items at a second-hand jewelry store…
Wang Li: !!!
