Chapter 109: Turned Murderer (1)

Zuo Weiyi felt warm inside listening to Nuannuan’s words.

 Did he specifically let Nuannuan convey his message to her?

 But was he so busy that he did not have the time to tell her this at all?

 What was he doing in Country C?

 “Nuannuan, who are you calling?”

 “Ah, it’s just my friend in Country Z…”

 “We’re leaving soon, hurry up.”

 “Okay, Mother. Go down first. I’ll be there in a moment!” She smiled sweetly at the woman standing at the door. Nuannuan turned her toward the phone. “Wei Yi, I’m going out. I’ll call you soon!”

 She did not wait for a reply from Zuo Weiyi and immediately cut off the conversation there.

 Zuo Weiyi was stunned staring at the black screen.

 What were these two busy doing?

 It was another sleepless night. Zuo Weiyi gradually fell asleep at around midnight.

 ***

 The next morning.

 She was awakened by the knock on the door.

 “Miss Zuo, are you awake?”

 The maid’s voice sounded outside the door.

 Zuo Weiyi frowned while trying to open her heavy eyelids.

 She sat up and looked in the direction of the door. “What’s the matter?”

 The maid opened the door after hearing her response.

 “Miss Zuo, some guests are waiting for you downstairs.”

 Zuo Weiyi could not help but frown after hearing that.

 Guests?

 Who would come here to find her? Was it Xingchen?

 Only her bestie—Bei Xingchen knew that she lived here.

 “Is it a woman?” She asked in surprise while looking at the maid at the door.

 The maid hesitated for half a second. She then pursed her lips and finally spoke, “It’s the police.”

 Zuo Weiyi was shocked.

 Police? Looking for her?

 Her mind was completely blank. Why did the police come here to look for her so early in the morning?

 She said to the maid after a moment of contemplation, “You go down first. I will come downstairs in a moment.”

 So, the maid left.

 After washing up, she put on her clothes and went downstairs.

 She then saw four or five policemen standing in the living room as she got downstairs.

 She was startled. She frowned as she did not understand why the policemen were looking for her.

 Aunty Yu who was initially on the phone nearby could not help but put down the phone in her hand. She walked to Zuo Weiyi. “Miss Zuo, you…”

 “Are you Miss Zuo Weiyi?”

 A policeman had already walked to Zuo Weiyi and asked with a serious look before Aunty Yu had time to speak.

 Zuo Weiyi nodded looking at the policeman who had suddenly come over to her side. “I am, what’s wrong?”

“We are from the Public Security Bureau.” A policeman took out his ID and showed it to Zuo Weiyi. He then put it away and looked at her. “There was a criminal case. Please follow us back to assist in the investigation.”

 A criminal case?

 Zuo Weiyi was startled.

 “Mr. Policeman, you can’t arrest her without any evidence,” Aunty Yu said worriedly.

 The young master’s phone was still off. Aunty Yu could not help but worry as Zuo Weiyi was taken away.

 The policeman glanced at Aunty Yu. He then turned to look at Zuo Weiyi and saw the scratches on the back of her hand.

 “Miss Zuo, do you know a young lady named Jiang Tingmei?”

 Zuo Weiyi stunned. “Yes, what’s wrong?”

 “She died not far from this mansion yesterday evening. Her mother testified that you were the murderer who has killed her daughter. From now on, you have the right to remain silent. Everything you say will admissible as evidence in court. Please follow us back for the investigation.”
