Chapter 1516: Chapter 873: Miss Si Faces Down the Green Tea; A Knockoff Is Still Fake (Part 2)
They are willing to cooperate, and the police naturally treat them courteously.
"It’s a hassle." Jiang Shiyi stated directly.
In the office, several people were still busy moving around. As they saw them coming, they couldn’t help but take a few extra glances, especially Yang Yiyi.
"Who is that?"
"No idea, came along with the Third Young Master and Fourth Lord."
"Fourth Lord’s new girlfriend? Great figure, wearing a qipao, perfectly curvy."
"Isn’t she Geng Dong’s girlfriend? She’s come several times when we’ve handled cases here."
"What, Geng Dong? No wonder she looks somewhat familiar."
...
Jiang Chengsi now, in outsiders’ eyes, seems to have become synonymous with a scumbag. Even if he changes women around him, it doesn’t seem to be anything surprising.
The officer handling the case got straight to the point and didn’t stand on ceremony, "Fourth Lord, since you’re here, I’m sure you know why we’re looking for you, so I won’t beat around the bush..."
"Take a look at this motorcycle." The officer handed him a photo.
It’s captured by surveillance, the rider wearing a helmet, face unclear.
Jiang Chengsi glanced at the photo, "This motorcycle is a knock-off."
Officer: "..."
"This is a fake high-end branded motorcycle. Look at the body here, the back tail light, and..." Jiang Chengsi had plenty to say about motorcycles.
The officer felt a bit of a headache; actually, they intended to ask Jiang Chengsi if he had any impression of this bike, but he threw out a sentence——
Knock-off?!
"Do you have a similar motorcycle?" The officer straightforwardly asked.
Jiang Chengsi raised an eyebrow, his gaze wicked, "Do I look like someone who drives knock-off vehicles? Such motorcycles, plenty of modification shops can patch them together, they can’t guarantee safety, but bluffing, fooling the unknowing, more than sufficient."
The officer nodded, "So you don’t have this kind of motorcycle?"
"No."
"It’s true that something happened at the Si Family yesterday, I believe without me saying too much, you already know, so I’ll directly ask, did anything happen during your dinner gathering last night?"
"Just a minor argument." Jiang Shiyi explained.
"Then Fourth Lord, between 9:30 and 10:30 last night, where were you?"
"Officer." Yang Yiyi suddenly spoke up, "During that time last night, Fourth Lord was with me."
The officer raised an eyebrow, "Miss Yang, long time no see, you and Fourth Lord are...?"
Having handled a case with Geng Dong before, the officer recognized Yang Yiyi, seeing her appearing simultaneously with Jiang Chengsi, it puzzled him.
"Long time no see, as for me and Fourth Lord..." Yang Yiyi glanced at Jiang Chengsi, her face blushing, too embarrassed to speak directly.
The officer looked at Jiang Chengsi, then at Yang Yiyi, a strange curiosity flashed in his eyes, "You two were together the whole time? You’re certain?"
"How could I possibly have remembered it wrong."
"Where were you, what were you doing... could you describe in detail? We will investigate later." The officer said directly.
"Last night I invited Fourth Lord, and we... didn’t do much, just chatted."
"Can I take it that your relationship isn’t ordinary?" The officer needed to investigate their relationship, since testimony from family differs in credibility from strangers.
Yang Yiyi didn’t deny it.
"Miss Yang, can you take responsibility for what you said?" The officer reminded her kindly.
Yang Yiyi nodded with a smile, "I understand what you’re saying."
Indeed, she hadn’t committed perjury.
...
At that moment, a soft and gentle female voice suddenly interjected.
"Yes, some truths are universally understood, but some truths I just don’t get. Destroying others’ relationships, inserting oneself into others’ emotions, what kind of truth is that?"
"Anyway..."
"Such things, I reckon I’ll never learn in this lifetime."
Yang Yiyi, who just showed a shy expression, instantly turned pale.
To mask the fatigue of a sleepless night, she had deliberately applied thicker foundation than usual today, now appearing like a plastered wall without any blood color.
The office atmosphere instantly became suffocatingly tense.
Everyone didn’t need to trace the voice, the person was already inside.
Coincidentally, both wore qipaos.
Yang Yiyi wore a simple pink one, adorned with peach blossoms, intricately crafted elegantly. She looked pretty, wearing the qipao, with a graceful figure, quite eye-catching.
If considered alone, she could be a beauty, otherwise, she wouldn’t have Geng Dong spend so much money for her. However, standing in front of Si Qingxiao, it’s a bit...
Si Qingxiao’s attire today was in a slightly deeper color, indigo, with the skirt hem featuring a few green bamboos, the neckline adorned with a pearl brooch, casually tied hair, with some loose strands by her temples, shoulders even legs long, wherever she walked, a myriad of charm followed.
Yang Yiyi’s qipao had a slit on the side, whereas Si Qingxiao’s attire today exposed only a section of fair ankles.
Even if not revealing skin, the sheer aura and elegance completely overshadowed her; effortlessly, without pressure.
A qipao flatters a good figure, that’s undeniable, but more crucially, it depends on elegance. Without Si Qingxiao’s presence, Yang Yiyi would be beautiful, but when compared, her beauty then reveals a hint of vulgarity.
One brimming with charm, the other...
A whiff of dust, unbearably common!
When eyes met, even Yang Yiyi herself couldn’t look away, Si Qingxiao indeed looked stunning.
...
"Miss Si, didn’t we arrange to meet at ten o’clock? How come you’re here early?" The officer had investigated their relations long ago, how could he purposely schedule them at the same time.
"Something came up earlier, so I arrived early. Did I come at the wrong time?" Si Qingxiao smiled.
"No, not at all." How could the officer directly tell her, you probably timed your arrival, wasn’t it precisely timed?
"That’s good, I worried coming too early might affect your other work."
"Then you..." The officer wanted to take her to another room.
Si Qingxiao glanced at Yang Yiyi, "Miss Yang, it’s been a while, do you remember the last time we met? Last time, you even warned me? Now seeing me, you don’t seem surprised at all."
Yang Yiyi’s heart raced.
Those who have guilty consciences naturally feel uneasy, especially facing the person before her...
She had to admit, even just the aura around her, something she would never be able to emulate in her lifetime.
"Miss Si, please have a seat." The officer saw she wasn’t willing to leave, and could only invite her to sit.
"Thank you." Si Qingxiao thanked and sat down, looking at Yang Yiyi, "Miss Yang’s qipao isn’t inexpensive, right?"
"It’s, it’s alright."
Wearing a qipao in front of Si Qingxiao, deep down, Yang Yiyi felt somewhat insecure.
"Actually, the qipao not only requires a figure, but also suits the person, much like men, don’t assume someone else’s is good thinking you can handle it."
Si Qingxiao sat there, the aura all around her distinctly different.
"Do you understand why many high-end branded replicas on the market, A grade fakes, can even surpass the genuine in quality, yet people still pay hefty sums for the original?"
"Because everyone knows, no matter how similar, these replicas, are ultimately fake."
Yang Yiyi felt her face grow hot, while everyone else kept quiet.
Si Qingxiao’s words openly implied:
Yang Yiyi imitated her, indirectly calling her merely a replica.
