Chapter 505: Underhanded Move (Part 5)
Hearing these words, everyone exchanged glances and then began to whisper among themselves.
Ming Lan watched, feeling a bit uneasy for some reason. At this moment, she stepped out from the crowd and said, "Officer, don’t be fooled by her. What evidence could she possibly have? She’s probably just gone to find help."
As soon as she said that, all eyes turned to Jiang Xue, scrutinizing and doubting her. Jiang Xue looked at the impulsive Ming Lan and slightly curled her lips.
Sure enough, it was her scheme again, otherwise why would she jump out so quickly? Seems like she’s scared, nervous, and worried.
However, Jiang Xue didn’t mind; the more fiercely Ming Lan jumped now, the more it would hurt when she was proven wrong later. Jiang Xue looked at her calmly and smiled, saying, "Second Madam Jiang, where did you come from? This doesn’t seem to concern you, does it?"
"Jiang Xue, you killed someone, how could it not concern me? Even though I’m not involved, who can blame me for having a sense of justice?"
"Who said I killed someone? Did you see it?" Jiang Xue’s gaze turned cold, this Ming Lan never misses a moment to pin a crime on her.
As for murder, who actually committed it, Ming Lan should be clearer than anyone. Now, she wants to pin the crime on her, no way.
"Isn’t that phone the evidence?" Ming Lan pointed to the phone in the officer’s hand. So what if it wasn’t seen, the phone was the only evidence at the scene. She believed with this evidence, Jiang Xue wouldn’t escape the murder charge.
"Phone?" Jiang Xue laughed and said, "I lost my phone tonight, maybe the murderer took it."
When she said this, Jiang Xue deliberately emphasized the "took" word, then looked at Ming Lan with an ambiguous smile. Ming Lan, feeling guilty, quickly averted her gaze.
Like a thief with a guilty conscience, that’s Ming Lan. Even if she picked up Jiang Xue’s phone, everything after that was her scheme, including murder.
And that person was someone who had once had a conflict with Jiang Xue, a subordinate of Gong Hai, a man who had once kidnapped Jiang Xue.
Seeing Ming Lan fall silent, Jiang Xue calmly withdrew her gaze. She didn’t care about the ambiguous looks others cast on her. The truth would soon come to light, and they would naturally change their view of her.
If there was anyone among them who least wanted Jiang Xue to get away, besides Ming Lan, it was Lu Ling. Unable to get at Jiang Xue before, she naturally hoped to drag Jiang Xue into the mud this time, never to recover.
So, after Ming Lan lost her edge, Lu Ling spoke up, saying, "Miss Jiang, why did your phone fall at that time, and not earlier or later?"
After saying this, without waiting for Jiang Xue to respond, she continued, "If I’m not mistaken, there was a period when you weren’t in the venue? Could you tell us what you were doing during that time?"
Lu Ling, once a soldier, spoke bluntly, getting straight to the point, which was that Jiang Xue had the opportunity to commit the crime. Previously, when the news caused a stir, Jiang Xue wasn’t present.
For this reason, Lu Ling suspected that Jiang Xue was up to no good during that time. Otherwise, why was she absent just then?
Moreover, she also noticed afterwards that Jiang Xue did not immediately appear in the venue but only showed up after a while.
Add it all up, almost an hour passed, which should have been enough time for her to do something.
