The investigator glared at Yang Cheng and said, "We will naturally go back to the Search Department to examine the body. The cause of death is very obvious. Does this gentleman have any special opinions?"
Yang Cheng didn't bother to argue with this guy. If it weren't for the fact that the incident had been spread out, he wouldn't have to wait for these people to come over to examine the body.
Choi Yeon looked at Yang Cheng apologetically and said to the investigator, "Then go and identify the evidence at the scene immediately. I want to see the detailed report before 12 o 'clock tonight."
The investigator nodded and immediately left the scene with a few assistants.
Choi Yeon walked to Lin Ruoxi and gently held the woman's hand. She comforted her, "Don't worry, Ruoxi. I will find out the truth soon. I will ask the media not to talk nonsense so as not to cause panic among the people. You go back with Yang Cheng first. I will deal with the scene. "
Lin Ruoxi smiled reluctantly, "Then I will have to trouble you again. This matter may have a great impact on our company, especially the entertainment media business. If there is anything I can help with, I will do my best to cooperate."
Choi Yeon brushed her soft and beautiful short hair and smiled confidently, "After so many years of friendship, you still don't trust me?"
Lin Ruoxi nodded and looked at Yang Cheng meaningfully. Then she said, "Since this bad guy appeared, I really can't trust him."
"Ah …" Choi Yeon suddenly blushed and lowered her head in embarrassment. Fortunately, the police officers were busy in the room, otherwise they would be stunned.
Yang Cheng pretended to be thinking about the case seriously and didn't hear anything.
Lin Ruoxi glanced at him helplessly. Then, she pursed her lips and smiled. "Alright, Yanyan, I'm just teasing you. I can only try to find joy in my misery. Just a moment ago, a living person died in our party. It's really terrifying."
Feeling relieved, Cai Yan nodded her head in understanding. "Then you guys can go home first and wait for my news. I'll contact you guys if there's anything."
Zhao Hongyan asked softly, "Chief Cai, can I go home too?"
Choi Yeon shook her head. "No. Hongyan, you still have to go to the police station to make a detailed statement. I will send someone to send you there."
The matter was settled. Yang Cheng brought Lin Ruoxi back home while Zhao Hongyan and the waiters went to the police station.
When they got home, Hui Lin had already arrived and told Guo Xuehua, Mother Wang, and Zhenxiu about what happened at the party. Hence, they didn't have time to celebrate Hui Lin's return. Instead, they were worried about what would happen next.
When Yang Cheng brought Lin Ruoxi into the house, Guo Xuehua and the others quickly got up from the sofa and asked about the situation.
"Really, how could something like this happen on such a good day? Lu Yao is a superstar. Yulan and I watched her movie a few days ago. How could she die just like that? Tomorrow morning's news, wouldn't that push Yu Lei to the heart of the storm?! Could it be Lu Yao's enemy? Or a business rival?! "Guo Xuehua asked.
Lin Ruoxi shook her head. "I don't understand … The police are still not sure how Lu Yao was killed. Yeonyeon is investigating and I believe there will be some results soon."
Yang Cheng had some thoughts in his mind but he knew there was no need to say it out loud. Hence, he said gently, "Ruoxi, go upstairs and rest. Take a shower and sleep. You must be tired. I'll take care of the rest."
Lin Ruoxi frowned. "How can I do that? If you need me to answer some questions later, I still have to get up."
Right at that moment, Lin Ruoxi's phone rang. It was Choi Yeon. Whatever she said, came true.
"Yeonyeon, are the results out?" Lin Ruoxi asked anxiously.
On the other end of the line, Choi Yeon seemed a little reserved. She hesitated for a moment before sighing softly. "Ruoxi, don't be too surprised. I've asked the people from the search department to confirm it three times. The results are correct …"
Then, Choi Yeon told her the results of the investigation.
"Wh … What?!"
Lin Ruoxi's eyes widened as if she had heard an unimaginably shocking piece of news.
Everyone's hearts were in their throats. Mother Wang asked anxiously, "What is it, Miss? You have to tell us, I'm dying of anxiety."
Lin Ruoxi took a deep breath and hung up. She stroked her hair and said softly, "Yeonyeon said … there were fingerprints on the fruit knife that was used to slit Lu Yao's artery. The fingerprints … belong to Hongyan …"
"Hongyan?!"
Guo Xuehua and the others also knew that Lin Ruoxi's new assistant was Zhao Hongyan.
Yang Cheng sneered, "This is getting more and more interesting. Looks like she's not just any ordinary person …"
Lin Ruoxi said angrily, "How can you still laugh?! How could it be Hongyan? I was the one who asked Hongyan to check on Lu Yao. She didn't go there herself. Besides, Hongyan has no motive to kill! "
Yang Cheng smiled at Shanshan. "I know, but I can't cry …"
"Child, don't worry. I believe it's just a mistake. Maybe Hongyan accidentally touched it?" Guo Xuehua quickly comforted her.
Lin Ruoxi nodded and said to Yang Cheng, "Yeonyeon asked me to go to the police station to take notes and ask some questions. I want to bail Hongyan out. I'm sure she's innocent."
"By yourself?" Yang Cheng decisively refused. "No, I have to go with you. I also want to confirm some details. Let's go together."
Lin Ruoxi was puzzled about what Yang Cheng wanted to confirm. She looked confident but she didn't object to it. After all, that was what she was thinking.
Lin Ruoxi was still a little scared when she saw a living person die just like that.
Half an hour later, Yang Cheng and Lin Ruoxi arrived at the police station.
Choi Yeon was already waiting at the door. When she saw the two of them, she led them in and said helplessly, "Because of the fingerprint test, Hongyan is the only one who touched the knife. There is indeed Lu Yao's blood and some minced meat on the knife. There is no doubt that it was the weapon that killed her. So Hongyan's situation is not easy to deal with."
Lin Ruoxi quickly said, "Yeonyeon, I was the one who asked Hongyan to go there. How could she be the murderer? It's all a coincidence! "
Choi Yeon smiled bitterly. "I know it's not normal. At least, if someone wanted to kill someone, they would wear gloves or look for an alibi. Moreover, Hongyan has nothing to do with Lu Yao. Tonight was the first time they met. Our colleagues in the police station have also thought of these problems. But that's why we called you here … "
Lin Ruoxi's pale face showed a hint of anger. "Do you think that I sent Hongyan to kill someone? Is that even possible?! "
"Calm down, Ruoxi." Choi Yeon quickly explained, "I can't make any conclusions. Lu Yao is a well-known public figure. Her management company and family are involved in this case. The higher-ups have also sent several experts to analyze the case. They believe that it was a premeditated murder."
"Premeditated murder?! Our Yu Lei? Or me?! "Lin Ruoxi snorted.
Yang Cheng signaled to Choi Yeon to stop provoking Lin Ruoxi. After all, the situation had developed in such a confusing manner that Lin Ruoxi was on the verge of breaking down. If she were to be blamed again, no matter how strong a woman was, she would not be able to accept that she was a premeditated murderer for no reason!
Choi Yeon knew that things would only get worse if they continued. So, she quieted down and led the two into the office where there were already many people present.
A few well-dressed middle-aged men with serious expressions were sitting at a few large tables, looking at the documents in their hands. Some police officers were bowing and cooperating by the side.
Zhao Hongyan was still in her evening gown, but the makeup on her face had completely faded. Her eyes had turned into panda eyes due to the eyeshadow. Her teary eyes were filled with grief and agony.
A hint of heartache flashed across Lin Ruoxi's eyes. She hurried forward and grabbed Zhao Hongyan's hand. "Hongyan, are you alright?"
When Zhao Hongyan saw Lin Ruoxi and Yang Cheng, a glimmer of hope appeared in her eyes. "General Lin, you're finally here. They said that I killed Lu Yao! I didn't! I really didn't! "
"Be quiet! What kind of nonsense are you shouting about?! What kind of murderer would admit to killing someone right from the start? " A low, hoarse voice rang out. The one who spoke was a bald, middle-aged fat man with a shiny forehead.
