After divorcing the mute girl, President Gu knelt down and begged for reconciliation.

Chapter 70 A Place

Sometimes, the police will come back for a surprise interview during questioning, and they may even ask the same questions repeatedly in order to confuse the person giving the statement and thus better investigate the case.

Clearly, Su Ruoya still gave a very accurate answer without any flaws.

She swallowed hard as she spoke, her eyes fixed on Gu Xijue, who hadn't said a word since they came in.

After hearing the whole story, Xiao Yi was furious. He looked at Gu Xijue standing to the side and said coldly, "Ruoya said that she was the one who did it. Even now, are you still going to protect that poisonous woman?!"

Gu Xijue's expression remained as cold as ever, showing little emotion. Instead, he looked at the police officer and asked, "Is Song Jin'an's statement consistent with the records?"

The police officer said, "Mr. Gu, no one except the person involved has the right to know at this time."

Then Duan Nanhe, who was standing to the side, asked, "Was there any CCTV footage of the incident?"

"Yes, but there are blind spots." The surveillance camera can't see the restrooms; it can only see the corridor connecting the restrooms and the lobby.

At this moment, Duan Nanhe fell into deep thought, his carefree playboy demeanor replaced by a more composed and mature air.

"Were there only the two of them in the restroom at the time?" Logically speaking, girls like to go to the restroom in pairs, and the restroom in that banquet hall had six or seven stalls in a row, so there might have been witnesses.

Su Ruoya's heart skipped a beat when she heard Duan Nanhe's words, but her face remained unchanged.

The police aren't stupid; they certainly won't overlook any detail in solving the case. The investigation into whether anyone was in the bathroom at the time was completed yesterday, and there were only the two of them in the bathroom at the time.

"No."

Just then, Xiao Yi sneered and turned the conversation back to Duan Nanhe: "Duan Nanhe, are you so infatuated with that woman that you're still speaking up for her even now?"

Duan Nanhe raised an eyebrow and looked at Xiao Yi, retorting, "I just want to know the truth."

These kinds of scenes where two women are vying for one man are so captivating, he personally really enjoys them.

At that moment, Gu Xijue suddenly spoke up, this time unexpectedly siding with Song Jin'an: "Everything must be based on evidence. If it really was Song Jin'an who did it, we will not tolerate it."

Upon hearing this, Su Ruoya's eyes flickered, and her heart pounded wildly.

After the police left the ward, Gu Xijue also came out. At the corner at the very end of the hospital corridor, Gu Xijue stood with the police.

"Mrs. Gu's statement is basically inconsistent with Miss Su's. Apart from the fact that there was indeed an unpleasant incident before going to the toilet, the specific reasons for the unpleasant incident are also very different in their statements."

“Especially the situation in the bathroom is completely inconsistent. Mrs. Gu’s statement says that Miss Su stabbed herself and then used a knife to cut her.”

Gu Xijue's face darkened. This was the problem: who had done it?

"The knife has also been examined, and both of their fingerprints are on it, so we can't determine at a preliminary stage who actually injured the person."

Currently, all the testimonies seem to be related to Song Jin'an, and it appears that the case can already be concluded that Song Jin'an is the murderer who attempted to kill, but the murder failed and the victim was not killed.

"Then the case can be closed now. Song Jin'an's attempted murder was ruled a crime." Gu Xijue's voice was deep and heavy, making it sound to others as if he had also sentenced Song Jin'an to death and determined that she was the murderer.

After thinking for a moment, the police officer said, "Actually, there are quite a few suspicious points in this case. If we make a hasty decision, there is a chance that it will become a wrongful conviction."

Having worked in criminal investigation for so many years, he knew that no criminal case was ever as calm as it seemed on the surface. "What's suspicious?"

Gu Xijue spoke, his brows furrowed, his heart filled with unease.

Without giving it much thought, the police laid it all out: "Mrs. Gu and Miss Su's testimonies don't match at all, which means one of them must be lying. Although every point points directly to Mrs. Gu, upon closer inspection, there are loopholes. If the two were arguing about something..."

At this point, he turned his gaze to Gu Xijue, touched his nose, and then continued, "Then why are none of Miss Su's injuries fatal? I asked the surgeon, and he said that the stab wound in her chest was far from her heart and very shallow."

"Either Mrs. Gu still has a shred of conscience left, or someone else did it."

After the policeman finished explaining his theory, the atmosphere around him seemed to drop. Gu Xi's mind was in turmoil, and his face showed an unusual weariness.

He pinched the bridge of his nose and said in a deep voice, "These are all your speculations, without any factual basis. Investigate them again."

The police officer was speechless. How much must this CEO Gu dislike his wife? He really didn't say a single nice word for her.

……

Inside the ward, Xiao Yi was peeling fruit for Su Ruoya, saying as he did so, "You should take good care of your injuries. Gu Xijue and Duan Nanhe were both bewitched by that woman and are still trying to exonerate her!"

Upon hearing that Gu Xijue was also speaking up for Song Jin'an, Su Ruoya's eyes became somewhat indifferent, but a few ruthless glints flashed in places where Xiao Yi couldn't see.

But when Xiao Yi looked up and handed the apple to her, a smile quickly appeared on his face. Apple then whispered, "After all, she has been married to Xijue for so many years and has given birth to a daughter for the Gu family. Don't talk about her like that."

"Ruoya, you're just too kind." Xiao Yi looked at her, his face full of heartache. "But don't worry, as soon as the results are out, I'll hire the best lawyer for you and make sure that poisonous woman stays in prison for a few more years."

Because Su Ruoya was stabbed twice, Xiao Yi's thoughts completely changed. He would no longer be a gentleman who silently protected the princess from behind, but would stand by her side so that he could protect Her Highness.

After a moment of silence in the ward, the two of them suddenly spoke at the same time.

"Where are the Western Conference finalists?"

"Ruoya, I want to pursue you."

……

Su Ruoya wasn't unaware that Xiao Yi liked her; she had rejected him many times over the years. Lowering her eyes, she placed the apple on the bedside table, gave a bitter smile, and whispered, "Xiao Yi, you know I like Xi Jue, and that hasn't changed all these years..."

Xiao Yi nodded bitterly: "I know."

"But that doesn't stop me from pursuing you, does it?"

After Xiao Yi left, there was no one else in the ward. Only then did the hatred in Su Ruoya's eyes surge forth. Gu Xijue had actually bailed out Song Jin'an.

Even at this point, he still had a place for that woman in his heart!
Unfortunately, this time, she is destined to be the winner. Song Jin'an, just wait to go to jail.

Just then, Gu Xijue entered. She bit her lip, quickly composed herself, and said in a hoarse, dry voice, "Xijue, please don't make things difficult for Miss Song. After all, she gave birth to your daughter. I will contact the police to drop the case and not pursue it further..."
