Chapter 1023 - 505: Moral Support? Caught in the Storm (Part 2)
Hu Xueli also remained noncommittal.
"Yes, when I first went to his father, he refused to agree to my divorce."
"But later, as time went by, I gathered enough evidence. By then, he had no choice but to compromise."
Hu Xueli spoke earnestly.
This made Luo Fei suddenly realize.
"So Miss Hu believes that your previous attempt at divorce displeased this Mr. Huang, prompting him to seize the opportunity to frame and incriminate you?"
"That’s correct."
Hu Xueli said seriously.
"I didn’t return home last night, and the security guards in the neighborhood can testify to that. Including the past few days, I’ve been on business trips out of town. So I have a solid alibi. And my father has been at home since he retired last month."
"Given his age and physical ability, how could he possibly harm a young man on his own?"
"Moreover, if he did commit murder, why would he leave the body in such a conspicuous place and not dispose of it? This is clearly someone intentionally framing me."
Hu Xueli’s thinking was clear, and her reasons were sufficient.
Such a display earned Luo Fei’s admiration.
"Miss Hu, you’re right. From this perspective, perhaps it’s really not your fault."
Luo Fei said.
His face showed excitement.
This brought a sense of relief to Hu Xueli.
But at this moment, a middle-aged woman crossed through the crowd.
She pointed viciously at Hu Xueli.
"You, it’s you!"
"You killed my son, you’re the one who harmed him!"
Seeing her grimaced and furious.
The nearby Lin Qingshan and other forensic team members hurried to restrain her.
"Madam, why are you so agitated?"
"Would you like to calm down first?"
But hearing the police speak.
The woman was filled with disbelief.
"Officer, it’s this person who killed my son, how can I easily calm down?"
"This matter is clearly this woman’s fault. I reckon it’s mostly related to her and her father!"
Looking at the frenzied woman, unwilling to let go.
Even deliberately slandering.
At this moment, Hu Xueli felt somewhat helpless.
"Madam, could you stop accusing me without evidence?"
"I don’t even know your son, how could I have harmed him!"
But despite Hu Xueli saying so.
The woman still persisted.
"Haha, Hu Xueli, even if you don’t admit it, it doesn’t matter. What I said is undeniable truth!"
At this moment.
The woman was genuinely furious.
This also led to discussions among the surrounding people.
"Who would have thought that Hu Xueli would do such a thing."
"Her father just got ill and now she encounters this situation, Hu Xueli really is unlucky, always facing disaster."
"What’s so unexpected? Haven’t you heard the saying, ’Like father, like son’?"
At this point.
Everyone exchanged glances in disbelief.
Clearly, they all felt deeply sorry about the situation.
But Hu Xueli understood clearly.
People were just enjoying the spectacle, not fearing the consequences.
No matter what they said.
They wouldn’t be responsible themselves, so they didn’t care if her reputation got damaged.
"Everyone, please quiet down, the police are investigating the case!"
Almost simultaneously, Luo Fei reminded everyone.
Then they quieted down.
Once the crowd dispersed.
Luo Fei spoke seriously.
"Madam, based on what you said, what’s your basis for judging it was she who killed your son?"
"I hope you can explain the situation honestly, so we can facilitate the investigation and delve deeper."
Seeing Luo Fei speak earnestly.
His tone carried some anticipation.
The woman took a deep breath.
"Mr. Luo, just recently, my son had a quarrel with this woman. The reason was he led other kids to trample the flowers in the yard."
"At the time, this woman was extremely angry. She said those were her father’s years of hard work or something. Anyway, she was very unhappy."
When the woman spoke, Hu Xueli was dumbfounded.
Because after thinking carefully, she realized there indeed was such a thing.
It’s just that she didn’t remember it well.
Since there were quite a few who used to trample flowers in her father’s yard, or even steal tomatoes.
"Hu Xueli, is this really true?"
At this moment.
As Luo Fei inquired.
Hu Xueli was again noncommittal.
"Mr. Luo, after thinking, it seems such a thing indeed happened. But this isn’t all my fault. In my view, even though I have some responsibility."
"But it’s just a trivial matter, which is not worth mentioning."
"Come off it!"
But before she finished.
The nearby woman spoke sternly.
"Mr. Luo, I remember clearly."
"At that time, this woman was very angry. She even said my son was too uneducated and would suffer retribution sooner or later!"
Seeing the woman agitated.
She spoke a bit incoherently.
Luo Fei then softly asked.
"Miss Hu, so you indeed said excessive words, even threatening this lady on purpose, right?"
Seeing Luo Fei believed the other’s words, Hu Xueli was confused.
"Mr. Luo, wait."
"I never harmed anyone, even if I did say such words, it was no more than venting in anger!"
Although Hu Xueli tried to explain.
But Luo Fei spoke solemnly.
"Miss Hu, due to the complexity of the case."
"Besides, you indeed threatened her, so now you’re under arrest!"
Initially, Hu Xueli felt disbelief.
Even extremely shocked.
But seeing Luo Fei’s gestures, silently signaling her.
Hu Xueli understood.
"Mr. Luo, I swear I never harmed anyone, this matter is absolutely not my fault. Please believe me!"
At this moment.
Hu Xueli was truly on the verge of tears.
But even she pleaded.
The woman beside still laughed sneeringly.
"Miss Hu, although you’re pretending well, crying so pitifully."
"You might deceive others, but you can’t fool me. My son was always well-behaved and respectful of elders and youth. If he encountered misfortune, it’s likely because he fell into your trap!"
Even before Hu Xueli explained further.
Luo Fei already pushed her into the car.
After a while.
The group prepared to return to the police station.
To interrogate Hu Xueli.
At this moment, Luo Fei apologized.
"Miss Hu, I’m truly sorry. Due to the urgent situation, to be safe, I had to arrest you first."
Seeing Luo Fei a bit excited.
His expression complex as he spoke.
Hu Xueli shook her head.
"It’s okay, Mr. Luo, it’s not your fault."
"I know you said what you did to protect me, right?"
With Hu Xueli speaking and her voice firm.
Appearing understanding, her tone gentle.
Yang Mei softly inquired.
"Mr. Luo, from the current situation, perhaps Miss Hu really is innocent..."
Seeing Yang Mei hesitant.
Clearly feeling sympathetic.
Luo Fei spoke seriously.
"Yang Mei, that’s your mistake, while we support Miss Hu spiritually, believing she is good."
"Since we are investigating, only the truth should be our belief. Other than that, there’s no need to fully believe anything."
Luo Fei’s words made Yang Mei speechless.
Didn’t she know that Luo Fei was right?
