"Ding Dang?"
The girl raised her head and looked at Yan Ji blankly. Although her delicate face was still pale and frightened, he had to admit that she was a standard beauty.
Yan Xuan winked at Jiang Ting, which meant, "Look, I didn't recognize the wrong person.
"I'm Yan Ji from the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. You came to the station to talk to my colleague Ma Xiang." Yan Xun motioned for Han Xiaomei, the only field policewoman at the scene, to follow him. He then shook hands with Ding Dang. "I have a few questions to ask you. Please come over here."
In the duty room of the Safekeeping Department, the injured guard had been taken away by the physical and chemical examiner to extract traces of DNA from the wound. A few chairs were temporarily moved to the open space outside the room.
Yan Ji had a cigarette in his hand, but he didn't light it. He played with the lighter and asked, "You just told your father that it's impossible. What do you mean by impossible?"
"…" Ding Dang bit her lip and didn't answer directly. Instead, she asked, "Officer Yan, did Chu Ci really … steal controlled chemicals?"
Ding Dang was wearing a white lace vest and a floral dress. She had light makeup on and her fair hands were placed on her thighs. Girls who were admitted to art schools had the capital. They were young, delicate, and had shiny black hair. Compared to the trainees behind Yan Ji, who were covered in dirt all day long, Han Xiaomei couldn't help but feel a little inferior. She touched her face that hadn't been washed after staying up all night.
However, she was slightly comforted by the fact that Yan Ji's attitude toward beautiful women was not much better than his attitude toward her. His tone was even a little stiffer. "Oh, we're still investigating this. It's not convenient to reveal too much at the moment."
Ding Dang ignored her father's worried eyes and said eagerly, "But Chu Ci isn't such a person. It's true. He's very motivated and is very serious about his profession. If you don't believe me, you can ask my father!"
Ding Jiawang quickly stopped her. "Hey, why are you telling this to the police?"
Yan Ji sneered.
"His family doesn't have much money, but he is a very good person. After Feng Yuguang's accident, his parents came to Jianning. Chu Ci helped them pack up Feng Yuguang's things. She ran around and comforted them a lot." The more Ding Dang spoke, the sadder he became. "Because of this, his own experiment progress was delayed, but he still …"
Suddenly, Jiang Stops, who had been silent all this time, interrupted her. "I remember you went to art school?"
"Yes."
"Then how did you know about the progress of Chu Ci's experiment? Did your father tell you when he got home?"
Ding Jiawang hurriedly denied under the police's suspicious gaze, "Why would I say that? She wouldn't understand even if I told her."
"He … he said it himself." Ding Dang's voice became softer and softer. "Sometimes, when I come to the company to find my father, I go to the lab to visit them … After Feng Yuguang left, I went to find Chu Ci a few times. He was not in a good mood, and many mistakes were made in his experiments."
Yan Ji rubbed his chin and subconsciously wanted to find a place to sit down. However, all the chairs in the open space were already occupied. He had to force himself to lean against the armrest of Jiang Stops.
Jiang Stops was about to stand up when Yan Ji glanced at him. "Sit down and don't move."
"…"
"I remember that before Feng Yuguang died, he had a 48-second phone call with you." Yan Ji turned to Ding Dang. "Later, when you were taking the statement, you said that Feng Yuguang wanted to ask you out that night, but you refused?"
Ding Dang lowered her head and nodded.
"Why did he ask you out?"
"Sing … singing." Ding Dang muttered, "I said that there would be no singing for two people. Moreover, I wasn't feeling well that day, so I said I wouldn't go."
Although these were all things that had been recorded in the statement, Yan Ji still asked again, "He didn't pester you?"
"No, he seemed to want to meet someone … and then he hung up the phone."
Yan Ji poked Jiang Stops's shoulder. Jiang Stops brushed his hand away. "I know."
Yan Ji didn't mind. He laughed and looked at Ding Jiawang with ridicule. "Director Ding, the reason why you didn't mention the fight between Feng Yuguang and Chu Ci that night was because of your daughter, right?"
Ding Jiawang's face turned red. He looked very restless and waved his hand. "Hey, don't talk about it, don't talk about it!"
The chemical company was not a state-owned enterprise. If two interns were jealous of the director's daughter, it was actually not a big deal. It wouldn't affect the director's evaluation. However, Ding Jiawang didn't want to talk about it. It was very likely that he was not very satisfied with the two students and was not very happy about his daughter's choice. Obviously, the little girl preferred the good-looking straight-A student who came from a poor family.
"Did Feng Yuguang mention to you who he was going to meet that night?" Jiang Stops asked.
Ding Dang raised her head and looked at Jiang Stops. Her eyes were red and she shook her head without saying anything.
Yan Ji asked, "He didn't say anything?"
Ding Dang shook her head again and wiped her eyes with her thin white fingers.
