Chapter 52 A Murder Suspect

It had been a week since they had dinner in the Ji family. A Miao got an opportunity to study from a good teacher from a famous school because of her good performance. The teacher came to the house to tutor her every afternoon.

A Miao didn’t ask about the relationship between Shen Xinglan and the Ji family because she knew she had nothing to do with it. However, she did not know that she, with her current identity, had long been attached with Shen Xinglan.

“Boss.” Shen II walked in and looked dignified.

Shen Xing raised his eyebrow. “Did Bai Yongwei take action?”

“No.” Shen II shook his head. “We lost a car.”

“A car?” Shen Xinglan thought he misheard him, and then he remembered that he had several cars parked in the company’s underground parking lot.

Shen II answered, “It is the silver sports car.”

Shen Xinglan squinted. “The car I drove to the Ji family last time…”

“Boss, did Bai Yongwei steal it?”

“Even if she did this, she will not leave any evidence.” Shen Xinglan knew the woman very well. If she were not that smart, Ji Zeming could not live with her for so many years.

“Anything in the surveillance video?”

“Yes, I found a shadow. It looks like…” Shen II gesticulated. “It’s very tiny.”

Shen Xinglan darkened his eyes and suddenly asked, “What is the woman doing recently?”

“Miss A Miao is same as always. She reviews every day and listens to the teacher in the afternoon.” Shen II looked at him. “Boss, are you suggesting…

“If she wants to go out, ask Shen I to follow her.” Shen Xinglan narrowed his eyes and said, “If anything goes wrong, he will stay in Africa forever.”

Shen I had not known that his future had been so difficult. Since he was responsible for protecting A Miao, his days became wonderful. He stayed at home every day, playing games, and shamelessly showed off to others.

He didn’t pay attention to what Shen II said on the phone, because A Miao never went out! He really hoped something would happen, but they were staying home every day.

However, something did happen that afternoon.

“Is Miss A Miao there?”

Shen I looked at the police at the door in surprise. “Why are you looking for her?”

The policemen were very polite. They showed their work permit first and then said, “We found a body in a silver sports car in the Eastern District last night. According to our investigation, the owner of the car is Mr. Shen.”

“Then you can go to the company, our Boss is not at home.”

“But we have witnesses who saw that Miss A Miao, the fiancee of Mr. Shen, appeared there last night.”

Shen I sneered, “Impossible!”

The policemen were also very uncomfortable. Whether it was true or not, they were not easy to handle a case that involved rich families. However, they had to bring her back since the procedure had to go through.

“I know that Miss A Miao did not do this, so I hope she can go back to help us with the investigation.” The older policeman sighed. “We are just performing official duties, I hope you can cooperate!”

Shen I thought for a while before he invited them into the house. “Please wait here. I will tell Miss A Miao about this.”

After listening to Shen I, A Miao felt like she had heard an absurd story. When she entered the living room, the policemen repeated the story and took out a photo for her.

“I don’t know it. I haven’t seen it.” She took it over and looked at it carefully.

Since the older policeman couldn’t get anything, he had to say, “Miss A Miao, please go to the police station with us. Witnesses will blindly recognize the suspect.”

“I have already called Boss. He will go to the police station later.” Shen I comforted her for she would be scared. “We are going by our own car.”

He glanced at the police. “Can we?”

“Of course, of course!”

However, what the policemen did not expect was that when they arrived at the police station, there were all reporters outside.

“Put on the sunglasses!” Shen I rushed to put his glasses on A Miao’s face. A Miao saw the reporters screaming at the window with her name.

“Shen… Shen I… Don’t open the door. I don’t want to get out of the car.”

A Miao was terrified. She had never seen anything like this. The people outside were all widely opened their big mouths as if they wanted to swallow her.

Soon, a team of police officers ran out to maintain order, while a black Maybach slowly approached.

“Miss, Boss is here!” Shen I suddenly buckled up. He had run out of the door before A Miao could react.

Shen Xinglan’s arrival attracted all the reporters while A Miao took the opportunity to enter the police station with Shen I. After that, the older policeman took her into a room.

“Rest assured, Boss will come in immediately.” Shen I sent her in. “We will wait at the door.”

A Miao walked into the room with fear and found that there were already five people standing there. There were men and women, and they had a similar body shape to her.

“Please stand here and don’t move.” The police pointed at the position next to him and waited for her to stand up before he made a gesture at the camera.

There was a mirror in front of them. A Miao saw the mirror in the TV series and she knew it was double-sided. People on the other side could see them. After about five minutes, a policeman entered and asked her to go out.

“Shen Xinglan!” She never so hoped to see this man at this moment than at any other time.

Shen Xinglan glanced at her with a nod.

“Mr. Shen…” The older policeman did not know how to say.

At this time, A Miao quietly went to Shen Xinglan and said, “I may be framed, and the witnesses must have identified me.”

“Officer, we will not answer any questions before the lawyer arrives.” Shen II stopped the police. A Miao followed Shen Xinglan into a small meeting room.

After entering, Shen I pointed to the corner of the room before gesticulating near his ear. A Miao looked at the camera and blinked to him, telling him that she understood.

“Afraid?” Shen Xinglan raised the corner of his mouth. “Why were you not afraid when you teased Ji Xue?”

Hearing this, A Miao widely opened her eyes.

“You… what do you mean?” It was his idea and why did he ask her?

Shen Xinglan knocked on the table. “You framed her. She won’t let it go easily. Am I right?”

“Ah!” A Miao opened her mouth, looking at the camera in the corner, and then turned to Shen I.

“There is someone listening, and we can’t talk, right?”

Shen I completely understood A Miao. He blinked hard. “I don’t know, I can never understand Boss’s behavior…”

“Do you both have cramps?” Seeing A Miao and Shen I blinking, Shen Xinglan had to press the uncomfortable feelings in his heart. He said to Shen I, “Go out.”

Shen I waved his hand and slipped out under A Miao’s eyes.

“You like him very much.” Shen Xinglan suddenly asked.

A Miao instinctively nodded. “Shen I is very nice!”

Only Shen I talked to her normally. Shen II was woody and he only executed his Boss’s orders.

“Nice…”

A Miao felt that this man began acting weird again, so she quickly shifted the topic, “Are you saying what I am thinking?”

“No.”

“…How do you know it is not. I haven’t said it yet!”

“Because with your IQ, you can’t think of what I can think of.”

It sounded familiar!

A Miao really tried to recall it before she figured out what he meant. She was about to argue when the door was knocked, and Shen II walked in.

“Boss, the lawyer is here.”

A man with gold-rimmed glasses walked in with Shen I and Shen II, followed by the policemen who brought A Miao back. The policemen didn’t look so good…

“Sorry Mr. Shen, I am late. I just got off the plane!” The bespectacled man greeted Shen Xinglan courteously.

Shen Xinglan nodded. “We can begin. Ask what you want.”

The older policeman and two young police officers sat opposite them with bitter faces.

“According to our investigation, Mr. Shen’s car was stolen three days ago. According to surveillance video, the thief is very similar to the suspect yesterday, we…”

“Officer Chen!” The lawyer interrupted him. “From a legal point of view, we do not accept any assumptions like ‘seem’ or ‘similar’.”

The policeman pursed his lips. “I know. Then let’s talk about the murder yesterday.” He looked at A Miao, “The witness identified you.”

“According to his transcript, the deceased drove the stolen car to meet you at the bar last night. You quarreled and you ran out of the bar. The deceased chased you up.”

The witness said that A Miao and the deceased clashed in the car later, and then the car drove off. Then at 4 am in the morning, a policeman found the car with the double flash on in a small alley, so he went forward and found the body.

“The cause of death is that his chest was injured by a sharp weapon, and the weapon is a medium-sized fruit knife. You found it in the trash not far away, and there were fingerprints of my client.”

The lawyer turned over the document in his hands and said with a smile, “It is not strange that my client’s fingerprints were on the car since she is my boss’s fiancee, who once sat in the car.”

“We don’t deny the fingerprints on the fruit knife either, but…” His eyes were sharp. “On what basis do you confirm my client killed him? Only with the fingerprints and a witness?”

Officer Chen wanted to kneel down. In front of him was the famous lawyer, Deng Jian, who was Shen Xinglan’s royal lawyer.

“On What basis? Could not it be enough with the witness and fingerprints?”

“According to police reasoning, we have evidence as well.”

Deng Jian respectfully made a gesture to Shen Xinglan, and the latter slow said, “Last night, the night before, the night three days ago, and the night four days ago, my fiancee was with me.”

“What were you doing?” A young policeman next to him asked as he was despised by officer Chen.

Shen Xinglan looked at him in a contemptuous way, “What can we do if a man and a woman are together all night?” He paused. “Hey, we don’t have fingerprints, but we have some liquid on our bed if you need it. It should also be some kind of evidence.”

A Miao had been stunned. She thought that Shen Xinglan must be possessed by some kind of cosmic monster, or that he was hopeless in the late stage of neuropathy.

“This…this…” The young policeman was flushed and didn’t know how to record this.

Deng Jian stared at the policemen in front of him with oppressive eyes. “In this case, both of us have witnesses and different … fingerprint categories.”

“What is the fingerprint category?!” Officer Chen twisted his mouth.

“So, can I bail my client now?”
