Chapter 79 I Acted in Self-Defense
Gu Qili sat in the cold, oppressive interrogation room, with two police officers opposite her staring piercingly at her. The light in front of her was so bright that she dared not open her eyes.
"I’ve told everything I know; that’s how things happened." Regarding the incident that evening, she had already repeated her explanation countless times, but the police seemed not to believe her words.
"Miss Gu, is the person in these photos you?" One officer placed several photographs in front of her, featuring a girl with different men coming and going from hotels, dressed in revealing and audacious attire.
Gu Qili’s complexion turned pale, her breathing hurried, and after only one glance, she lacked the courage to look again. She turned her gaze away, biting her lip in silence.
She knew that some words should not be spoken lightly, as each word she uttered could have severe consequences.
"Please answer, is it you?"
Gu Qili remained silent, not saying a word.
The contempt was clear in the police officer’s eyes; to him, Gu Qili was the sort of girl who would sell herself for money. Despite her appearance of innocence and harmlessness, the photos were crystal clear, and the girl in them looked exactly like her.
"Miss Gu, there are witnesses that can attest you often engage in transactions with different men for money. So, did you get into an argument with Guan Zhe because you couldn’t agree on the price, and during the argument, you injured him and then left without a care?"
