CHAPTER 345: CHAPTER 284 CLUES (EXTRA CHAPTER FOR MONTHLY TICKETS)

Rong Manman also deeply despised this elder brother. Did he even know what he was saying?

Didn’t he know that saying this... could get her killed?

Rong Wenze wanted to say more, but Rong Wenming abruptly pulled him away.

"Captain Qi, the one who died is my mother, please come forward and take a look!"

Qi Yan nodded, then took a few steps forward to the bedside.

The forensic scientist he brought along also stepped forward to begin their work.

At this moment, Rong Yan spoke, "Old Mrs. Rong did not die from a fall; there was a long needle embedded in her neck which caused her death."

Everyone’s eyes widened.

And Rong Manman nearly couldn’t stand.

Rong Wenming couldn’t believe it, "Yanyan, is what you’re saying true? Why didn’t you mention this earlier?"

"Father, such crucial evidence naturally should be waited to be mentioned until the police arrive. How could it be directly pointed out in front of the culprit? What if they desperately lashed out?"

"You have to remember, some people are inhumane."

Qi Yan: ...

This girl’s mouth was—as always—bold and scolding.

Rong Manman was furious.

If stares could kill, she would have killed Rong Yan a hundred times over.

Yu Suhui wanted to defend her daughter, but her second son firmly held her back, whispering, "Mother, you need to consider this family and us three brothers. If you insist on speaking recklessly, then my older brother, younger brother, and I will be very upset..."

Yu Suhui looked at her second son in astonishment.

"...but she is your own sister..."

Rong Quanlong sternly retorted, "Don’t even mention ’own sister.’ Even our biological parents shouldn’t commit murder or do evil things."

He had taken to heart what Rong Yan had said earlier.

With Rong Manman’s expressions... he truly believed that she had indeed killed their grandmother.

They were still shocked by Rong Yan’s previous words; the fact about the needle was just terrifying.

Just thinking about that scene made them shiver.

Maybe they weren’t the best, but murder... they would never dare.

At this point, the forensic scientist Fang Hai and Qi Yan, guided by Rong Yan, had found that fatal needle.

"This is the spot, as to whether it’s a fatal wound, we still have to examine further, and this needle, it’s not good to remove it now..."

Upon hearing Fang Hai’s words, Qi Yan nodded, "Continue."

He turned his head to look at Rong Manman, finding it unimaginable that such a young woman could be so ruthless.

"Xiao Wang, take control of her."

Xiao Wang was there to prevent the suspect from escaping, so he was already standing by Rong Manman. Hearing Captain Qi speak,

he immediately restrained Rong Manman.

Rong Manman struggled violently, "Let me go, let go of me... It wasn’t me, it was Rong Yan... she touched Grandmother several times earlier, she must have planted that needle..."

Rong Yan sneered, "Not clever, yet daring to harm people, you really think police comrades are just her for a free meal?"

Qi Yan: ...

Thanks for the compliment.

But could you maybe choose a nicer word?

Otherwise, it sounds somewhat off.

"This is an abnormal death, everyone leave this room."

Rong Wenming was heartbroken, he couldn’t believe that his beloved granddaughter was the cause of his mother’s death.

He glared at Rong Manman with rage, wishing he could give her several harsh slaps if he could.

Seeing his agitation, Madam Rong quickly tried to soothe him, "Don’t get worked up, your own health is more important, don’t get so aggravated over this soulless person."

"Yes, Dad! The law will punish her severely, there’s no need for you to upset yourself. Let’s leave and let the police handle it."

After saying this to him, Rong Yan then signaled to her mother, "Mom, help Dad outside."

Madam Rong walked over to help, but Rong Wenming refused, "It’s not necessary, I can walk on my own."

He walked out looking weary and frail.

Rong Wenze and his family desperately wanted to keep a huge distance from Rong Manman.

Before leaving, Rong Wenze couldn’t help but ask, "Officer, is it possible there’s been a misunderstanding?"

"We will thoroughly investigate this case. For now, please leave." All investigations had only just begun; how could Qi Yan rashly jump to conclusions?

The forensic scientist continued the autopsy in the room.

Qi Yan then handed over the suspect to Xiao Wang.

"Where are you taking me? I won’t go... I’m innocent, it was Rong Yan who framed me..." Rong Manman was only fearful.

It was so seamless, how did it happen so quickly?

"Not only do we have witness testimonies, but also physical evidence. Once our lab results are out and fingerprints are matched, you’ll have no excuses. Therefore, I advise you, confess for leniency, resist for severity," Qi Yan’s voice was severe.

His gaze was also sharply piercing.

This frightened Rong Manman, who was already feeling guilty.

She stuttered in her defense, "...I didn’t harm Grandma... she fell on her own..."

Admitting it was impossible.

Once she admitted, what chance did she have left?

Thus, she was determined to deny everything.

"Xiao Wang, take her back to the station."

Xiao Wang immediately responded with a "Yes."

"No, you can’t take me away..." Rong Manman struggled.

But at this moment, she couldn’t resist.

Xiao Wang directly handcuffed her and took her away.

When Rong Manman saw the people in the yard, she shouted loudly, "Mom, save me... save me quickly... I don’t want to be taken away..."

Yu Suhui, seeing her screaming her lungs out, felt so distressed that she wanted to step forward.

But before she could take a step, she was simultaneously grabbed by her second and eldest sons.

"Mom, you can’t go, you can’t doom us..."

This wasn’t any sister; she was a venomous woman.

If there were no evidence, would the public security arrest her?

Both brothers exerted force in their hands, determined not to let their mother side with the venomous woman.

That would be like eating peanuts... absolutely untouchable.

Moreover, they would issue a statement severing relationships tomorrow.

In short, they intended to thoroughly disassociate themselves.

Yu Suhui was angry at her two sons, but she didn’t struggle.

Thus, amid Rong Manman’s cries, she was taken away.

As it was a murder case and there happened to be a police car at the station, Captain Qi came over in a police car that evening.

When the siren of the police car faded away, the onlooking neighbors were all incredibly shocked.

What was going on? Old Mrs. Rong had died... How come they took Rong Manman away?

Some of the more astute neighbors, feeling extremely uneasy, guessed that Rong Manman had caused Old Mrs. Rong’s death?

Otherwise, why would the public security take her away?

Before long, rumors began to spread within their small circle... Rong Manman killed her own grandmother...

However, even though they were just guessing, when the police questioned them, this speculation was confirmed.

Rong Yan and Qin Ye didn’t leave either, because they had to wait until the police left before they could depart.

The investigation lasted for about an hour.

Captain Qi wrapped up.

Seeing they were about to leave, Rong Wenming hurriedly approached and asked, "Comrade Qi, my mother..."

"Our comrades have examined her, and the injuries from the fall aren’t severe; the fatal injury was from that needle. Whether or not it was Rong Manman’s doing, we need further investigation. But for now, Rong Manman is the primary suspect. Of course, everyone else present at the moment of Old Mrs. Rong’s death is also suspect, so Rong Wenze and a few others must come with us to assist in the investigation."

Rong Wenze, initially just listening, couldn’t help but raise his voice in alarm when he heard that the police wanted to take him for questioning too.

"I wasn’t even there; I was out, neighbors can vouch for us."

The Rong brothers hurriedly tried to prove their alibis.

"I wasn’t there either; I was outside."

"I had just stepped out when Mom called me back."

"I was taking a dump..."

"The only people at home at that time were Mom and Rong Manman." This time, Rong Quankun didn’t even call her his sister.

From the moment Rong Manman was arrested, he had already disowned her as his sister.

Yu Suhui, looking pale, added, "...I, I was washing dishes..."

Captain Qi swept a gaze over them, "During that time, all of you are suspects. Come with me to the station."

The police car had already come back outside.

The Rong family: ...

Under Captain Qi’s compelling gaze, they had no choice but to get into the police car.

After handling that family, Captain Qi then turned to Rong Wenming and the others.

Rong Wenming quickly said, "By the time we arrived, my mother was already dead."

Captain Qi nodded, "We will solve this case as quickly as possible."

Otherwise, with the weather this hot, Old Mrs. Rong’s body couldn’t be kept for too long.

"Thank you, we appreciate your help," Rong Wenming said, now unable to leave himself.

With Rong Wenze’s family gone, if he left too, there would be no one to keep a vigil for the old woman.

"No need for thanks. We serve the people, and besides, it’s our duty," Captain Qi said before leaving.

When Rong Wenming saw them leave, he finally turned to Qin Ye and his daughter, "Qin, Yanyan, we are here, you can go home."

Rong Yan originally hadn’t planned to keep vigil for the old lady.

After all, her mistreatment of the original owner was a fact.

Having the cause of the old lady’s death investigated was already more than what she owed to the deceased old lady.

"Dad, take care of yourself; we’ll be leaving first."

"Go on! No need to come too early tomorrow."

Qin Ye and Rong Yan didn’t say much; they just left.

Madam Rong was definitely staying; no matter what... she couldn’t let her husband keep the vigil alone.

But what a situation this was!

It goes to show, never underestimate a person’s evil.

Rong Yan and Qin Ye rode their bicycles home.

They glanced at Qin Mei’s house.

Her room was dark, indicating she was already asleep.

Rong Yan said to Qin Ye, "I’m going to take another shower, you should wash up too."

Qin Ye nodded, "Alright..."

After a long night of being tossed around, the Rong family finally returned home after recording all their statements, it was after one o’clock.

Exhaustion was etched on every face in the family.

As soon as Yu Suhui got home and saw Rong Wenming and his wife still there, she exploded in rage and lunged at Madam Rong: "You wretch, you destroyed my daughter, I’ll fight you to the end..."
