Chapter 1560: Ling Hui Finally Remembered Whom She Resembled!
In the police station.
Ye Qing stood outside the interrogation room. His eyes were dark and his handsome face was covered with a layer of frost, exuding a cold aura that made people shiver.
“Miss Gu, we asked your father. Although he can’t speak, he can blink. He didn’t see anyone else besides you entering the ward.”
Because of Ye Qing’s deterrence, Captain Zhu did not treat her like the other suspects, but his expression was serious and cold.
Gu Meng had not poisoned Gu Jiao to death. No matter how Captain Zhu interrogated her, she insisted that it had nothing to do with her.
“According to our investigation at the hospital, someone saw that there had been a fierce argument between you and the deceased in the washroom. You even pushed her, causing her to hit her forehead and get injured.”
“Also, the CCTV showed that you slapped the deceased twice when your father was in the emergency room.”
Although Gu Meng did not like Gu Jiao and did not have much sisterly feelings for her, she still felt sad and regretful for Gu Jiao’s sudden death. “I did have an irreconcilable conflict with her, but I never wanted her life. Besides, you said that she was poisoned by porridge. I cooked porridge for my father. Do you think I would poison my father?”“I went into the bathroom to pour water for my father to wipe his face. At that time, Gu Jiao was not in the ward. How could I have predicted that she would enter the ward and drink the poisoned porridge?”
Gu Meng retorted in a clear manner. She had slowly regained her senses from the shock of Gu Jiao’s death.
Captain Zhu looked at Gu Meng. She did not look like a ruthless murderer with her pretty appearance.
However, they were particular about evidence when it came to handling cases.
“You hated Gu Jiao to the core and knew that she would enter the ward at the right time, so you went to the bathroom in advance. Gu Jiao was greedy and when she saw the delicious porridge, she naturally wanted to have a taste. Who knew that this taste would make her lose her life?”
Gu Meng scoffed. “Captain Zhu, if I wanted to kill Gu Jiao, why would I go to my father’s ward to kill her so blatantly? Also, after she was poisoned and fell to the ground, I was the one who called the doctors and nurses over!”
“This is where you’re smart, because you poisoned her. Even if the doctor came, he wouldn’t be able to save her!”
“Captain Zhu, I grew up with Gu Jiao and she often wronged me when I was young. She even instigated my mother to hit and scold me. I hate her, but I’m related to her by blood. I’m not crazy enough to take her life! Let me ask you. Will you let your siblings die if you have a conflict with them? I’m not crazy!”Captain Zhu looked at Gu Meng, who was sharp-tongued and could refute him with just one question. He suddenly smiled and took out a photo from the document bag. “Look at this.”
“In the past, the two of you were just fooling around. However, after what happened, how could you still tolerate her? Besides, someone heard her extorting you in the washroom. It was because of this that you killed her!”
Gu Meng’s pupils constricted slightly when she saw the photo Captain Zhu took out.
The photo was the one Gu Jiao had let her see in the washroom. She was lying in Ye Qing’s arms, looking intimate.
At that time, she had deleted the photo and stepped on the phone.
However, even if the photos in the photo album had been deleted, there would still be a copy on the cloud server. The police must have let the technicians hack into Gu Jiao’s cloud server to retrieve this photo.
Gu Meng had to admit that when she had first seen this photo and heard Gu Jiao accusing Ye Qing of sleeping with her, she had really had the urge to strangle her to death!
Gu Meng laughed coldly. “Captain Zhu, do you think the Third Prince is that despicable? I dare say that even if Gu Jiao was naked, he wouldn’t even look at her!”
Captain Zhu stared at Gu Meng, whose mouth was as tight as a clam and could not be pried open no matter how hard he tried. His eyes turned sharp. “Miss Gu, can you tell me who it would be if you didn’t poison her?”Gu Meng said, “I’ll need the police to investigate this.”
Captain Zhu was about to say something when there was a knock on the door of the interrogation room.
Ye Qing walked in. “Captain Zhu, my lawyer is here. I want to bail Gu Meng out!”
Captain Zhu looked at Ye Qing’s deep black eyes and felt a strong pressure. He wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. “Your Highness, this case is really serious…”
Before Captain Zhu could finish, a police officer suddenly walked over. “Captain, look at your phone. The incident of Gu Jiao being poisoned and dying has become a trending topic.”
Ye Qing turned on his phone before Captain Zhu.
Mrs Gu sat at the entrance of the hospital, surrounded by a group of reporters. She cried and complained to the media about how ruthless Gu Meng was and how she had killed her younger sister, Gu Jiao, just because she had a supporter now!
Some media outlets found out that Gu Meng was the fishing village girl that the Third Prince loved deeply, so the news immediately became popular and became the hottest news in a short time.
This app belonged to a large corporation overseas. Ye Qing could control the public opinion in the country, but he needed time to do public relations with someone with a strong background overseas.
Because the matter had spread so quickly, it was likely because of the President’s wife’s instructions.After Captain Zhu read the news, he said carefully, “Your Highness, if you believe that this has nothing to do with Miss Gu, then you have to find the person who really poisoned her. How did the poison get into the porridge, when and where? You have to know everything clearly and you can’t just find anyone to take the blame!”
Gu Meng could not be released on bail. Ye Qing gave Captain Zhu a few instructions and Captain Zhu repeatedly promised that he would not abuse Gu Meng. As long as he could find evidence that Gu Meng was not the murderer, he would release her immediately!
…
Coming out from the police station, Ye Qing got into the car.
He lit a cigarette and narrowed his dark eyes, puffing out smoke.
He knew that the President’s wife must have sent someone to do this, but she had done it so flawlessly. Even he could not figure out how the murderer had poisoned her.
Ye Qing called and asked the butler to arrange for the bodyguards to go to the hospital and take care of Mrs Gu, so that she would not spout nonsense in front of the media.
After returning to the palace, Ye Qing went to the bathroom to take a bath.Standing in front of the French windows in a bathrobe, he felt a sharp pain in her heart at the thought of Gu Meng being detained.
His phone vibrated suddenly. Ye Qing went to the bedside table and saw the caller ID.
A call from Ling Hui?
Ye Qing answered the call and Ling Hui’s anxious voice trailed over. “Your Highness, I saw the news about Vivian. She killed her younger sister? This can’t be true. I don’t believe she did it!”
“Thank you for trusting her. It’s indeed not her, but there’s no evidence to prove that she’s innocent.”
“Your Highness, I won’t hide it from you. My father was poisoned and fell into a vegetative state. My mother became a suspect and there was no third person in the room at that time. Don’t you think that the situation of my father being poisoned is similar to Sister Vivian being poisoned? Also, there’s another thing. I felt that Vivian looked like someone a few days ago. I finally remembered whom she resembles.”
