Chapter 615: Chapter 645: The Killer Is Someone Else
In the end, Qin Jiqun was too much of a coward; he didn’t have the guts to jump. When the police finally caught him, he glared furiously at his family. "You actually called the police?"
Old Mrs. Qin was completely stunned, weeping and at a loss for words. When trouble arose, all the old woman ever did was cry.
Fortunately, this saved the police a lot of trouble.
One of the police officers shook hands with Qin Jiao and the others. "We’ll be heading out now. We’ll contact you if anything comes up."
"If the investigation proves he’s innocent, he’ll be released, right?"
The officer immediately nodded. "Of course."
Qin Jiqun’s gaze finally fell on Qin Jiao’s face. He said furiously, "So it really was you who reported me. You’d turn your back on your own family, wouldn’t you!"
"Then did you kill someone?"
"I..."
From his hesitant expression, Qin Jiao guessed that the real murderer must be someone else.
So, she said earnestly, "Just cooperate with the police and let them conduct a thorough investigation. We all believe you’re innocent. When you’re cleared and released, we’ll cook a huge feast to celebrate."
Qin Jiqun stood frozen on the spot.
As he was finally led away by the police, the look in his eyes was incredibly complex.
"My Jiqun! Oh, my boy!" Old Mrs. Qin, ever the coward, only started wailing after the police had left. Qin Na said, exasperated, "Mom, how about I take you to the police station to see Third Brother?"
Old Mrs. Qin was silent.
Qin Jiao was also exasperated. She said, "Grandma, if Uncle didn’t kill anyone, he’ll definitely be released soon. You don’t have to worry."
Mrs. Qin also believed her son was incapable of such an act, so after a moment, she calmed down.
Only then did Qin Jiao and Shen Yi leave.
Shen Yi asked, "Do you believe your uncle is innocent?"
"Yeah. He’s a coward. You saw it earlier—when I said it was the tenth floor, he shrank back without even daring to glance at how high it was. Also, when I asked him, ’Then did you kill someone?’ he looked stunned for a moment, and then his expression became incredibly complex."
Qin Jiao looked up and said, "He’s probably not the real murderer. But he’s most likely protecting the real one."
Shen Yi froze. "Could it really be Qin Tao?"
If it had been Feng Lan, Qin Jiqun wouldn’t be protecting her so fiercely. On the other hand, if Qin Jiqun had been the one to commit the crime, Feng Lan would never have gone on the run for his sake.
In that case, the three of them disappearing together suddenly made perfect sense.
The real killer was the teenager, Xiao Tao!
He had been spoiled as a child. Then, as he got older, he had to face his mother and father going to prison one after another. Later, the elderly relative who had sheltered him also passed away, so he grew up completely wild.
Afterwards, he was taken away by Feng Lan, and they lived together in some unclear arrangement for a while. Feng Lan herself was selfish to the core and incredibly lazy; she certainly wouldn’t have raised her child properly.
Qin Jiao said softly, "If they were both willing to sacrifice themselves to protect their son, maybe they’re not completely rotten after all."
「Two days later.」
The police station called them again, saying that Qin Jiqun wanted to see his family.
He had specifically requested to see his niece, Qin Jiao.
Of course, Shen Yi didn’t want Qin Jiao to go alone. However, something had just come up at the South company. Coincidentally, Qin Zhonghui had just returned from out of town. Qin Zhonghui had just learned what happened. After all, this was his own brother; he had to go see him.
