Chapter 781: Just Like That?

Editor: Henyee Translations

Originally, Murong Xiu had been so busy these few days that her feet didn’t touch the ground.

in the end, Jiang Weiyang suddenly jumped in front of her, reminding her of something she had not dealt with before.

Third Brother was still recuperating at home, but ever since the Public Security Bureau received the investigation, there had been no more movement. It was like a stone sinking into the sea. Other than the day she reported the case and after a few symbolic investigations, there was no more news.

When Murong Qiao thought of this, she couldn’t help but doubt the efficiency of the Public Security Bureau.

Perhaps it was because she had thought of her, but just as Murong Qiao thought of the policewoman who had taken her statement before noon that day, she came to visit.

“We can only categorize this matter as an intentional injury. We will also deal with the suspect accordingly.” The policewoman mentioned the nature of the entire matter.

There was an update, but it was not mentioned again.

The policewoman then mentioned a few more procedures regarding the other party’s crimes and what they might encounter in the future, telling Murong Qiao to be mentally prepared.

She might not understand those complicated things, but from the other party’s meaning, this case seemed to be over.

However, it sounded like the case was going to be wrapped up with only the charge of intentionally causing hurt. Thinking of the man that day, he clearly meant to come for her. Murong Qiao revealed a rare negative expression on her face.

“That’S it?” Murong Qiao asked as her gaze landed on the policewoman. It seemed to be a question, but also an indescribable inquiry.

The policewoman naturally understood what Murong Qiao meant, but she could only nod awkwardly.

Ever since the man who hurt her was captured and locked up by them, he didn’t say a word. If they asked, he would only say that he had casually stabbed someone on impulse. No matter how they oppressed him, it was useless.

The other party seemed to have made up his mind. Even if they persuaded him nicely that by taking the initiative to confess, they could reduce his punishment, he still firmly stuck by his words and didn’t change his statement at all.

The police were also very bitter about this matter, but the Public Security Bureau couldn’t pursue just this case alone. There were countless calls to the police every day, and the police usually couldn’t handle them all.

Hence, this matter could only be left unsettled.

After all, they couldn’t spend all their time on this case. Even if the victim was from the Murong Family, they had already spent a full week investigating it. However, the other party wouldn’t speak at all. Moreover, after the investigation, his ident.i.ty was also discovered to be unaffiliated to anything. There was pitifully little effective information.

The policewoman scratched her cheek and said as if she was explaining, “At that time, we took into account the injuries and recorded them. Once we get a verdict, such a person will most likely be able to come out after squatting inside for a year or two. You’d better be careful.”

It was not that there was no crime. But after the suspect went to jail, he can still come out to take revenge on the target when he’s released.

When Murong Qiao heard this, her expression turned even worse.

That was not what she wanted. In the end, in her opinion, this matter was simply left unsettled. The Public Security Bureau was also unwilling to put in the effort to investigate.

Then what about Third Brother’s injuries? Are we going to let it go just like that?

“Why don’t you continue investigating?” Murong Qiao looked at the policewoman.

The policewoman pursed her lips and hesitated for a moment before enduring the psychological struggle and telling the truth in her heart.

“To be honest, the Public Security Bureau has a lot to do every day. Although your case is relatively serious, our police force is limited, and our energy is limited.”

■We’ve interrogated him many times. The other party is clearly pleading guilty and doesn’t intend to provide any evidence at all. This situation is the most torturous.”

After hearing the policewoman’s explanation, Murong Qiao’s expression turned cold. Then, she suddenly remembered that she had seen Jiang Weiyang at the scene.

“I remember giving you a clue previously.”

When Murong Qiao mentioned Jiang Weiyang, the policewoman naturally knew about this person. In fact, because the other party was very beautiful and was a young lady, she had a deep impression of her.

-We’ve investigated her. On the day the victim was injured, she said that she didn’t know anything and only went over to join in the fun.

-And there’s no proof that there’s any relationship between her and the suspect, so—”

Therefore, there was no need to say anything else.

After the policewoman completed her mission in a few sentences, she patted her clothes and stood up. She obtained Murong Qiao’s signature on the doc.u.ment apologetically.

“I’m here to explain the situation to you this time. We might contact you again in the future. Sorry to have disturbed you.”

The policewoman pushed open the office door and turned to wave at Murong

Qiao. “Goodbye.”

Murong Qiao only nodded in response and didn’t speak.

After watching the office door slowly close, she wasn’t in the mood to continue working. Her gaze was fixed on the closed door. Thinking of what the policewoman had said just now, she frowned and fell into bitterness.

Based on her intuition, Jiang Weiyang’s appearance there at that time might be a coincidence, but it might also be intentional.

What puzzled her the most was that the man was clearly here for her. “…Tsk.” Murong Qiao changed her posture in frustration. She wasn’t in the mood to read the doc.u.ment in front of her.

At this moment, the cell phone on the table suddenly vibrated, and it showed that it was a call.

It was her Fourth Brother, Yan Xiu.

“Big Brother?” Murong Qiao was a little surprised when she picked up the call. Fourth Brother actually took the initiative to call her.

Yan Xiu explained briefly. “I’m holding an exhibition soon. Can you come to my studio?”

“Some of the designs might involve the clothes I gave you…”

Because Murong Qiang’s mind was still on the matter of her Third Brother, she didn’t actually hear the rest of the conversation clearly. She only carelessly agreed and added another stroke to her schedule.

There was a knock on the office door for the second time today.

Murong Qiao sat up straight and let him in. She thought that it was the policewoman from before, but she realized that it was Jiang Chi.

“Just leave the doc.u.ments here.”

Murong Qiao nodded as if she was used to it. She didn’t look at the table that she had just cleared.

However, the sound of the doc.u.ments landing on the table didn’t come. Instead, Jiang Chi stood in front of her for a while after walking in. Murong Qiao was wondering why Jiang Chi had not moved when she suddenly heard the other party speak.

“Boss, I want to take a day off today,” Jiang Chi said.

Not many words came out of the other party’s mouth.

Thinking about how the most professional worker in the company was Jiang Chi, Murong Qiao was a little surprised when she heard the other party say this. However, in the next moment, she approved it without hesitation.

Not to mention applying for leave, even if Jiang Chi skipped work for a day, she didn’t think it would be a big deal.

After all, he had been following her since the company was founded until now and had almost fewer holidays than her. Sometimes, Murong Qiao wanted to give Jiang Chi a break.

-Alright.” Her agreement seemed to be too straightforward, so when Jiang Chi saw Murong Qiao like this, he was stunned for a moment.

However, after coming back to his senses, he still explained a little. “I have some private matters to deal with and some problems that I have no choice but to solve. I’ve already sent them to your phone.”

“Alright, I got it.” Murong Qiao waved her hand, indicating for him to leave..
