Chapter 94 Li Zhong is arrested
In the early morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the faint sunlight shines through the window into the living room, giving people a warm and peaceful feeling.
After finishing a phone call with his daughter Li Jinxi, Li Zhongzheng sat on the sofa in a happy mood, ready to enjoy a cup of fragrant tea.
At this moment, suddenly, a team of uniformed and serious-looking police officers broke in and rushed into the Li family's door without hesitation.
Li Zhong was caught off guard and was startled by the sudden intruder. The teacup in his hand fell to the ground with a crisp cracking sound. The broken pieces of porcelain flew everywhere, as if symbolizing the shattering of this peaceful moment.
On the other side, Cheng Dizhang had just taken out a precious record from the cabinet and was about to put it on the record player to enjoy it. However, she was also frightened by this sudden situation and stood there, unable to move.
Officer An Yin walked up to Li Zhong and said in a stern tone, "Mr. Li, we now suspect that you are involved in a murder case. Please come back to the station with us to cooperate with the investigation."
Li Zhong was completely stunned. He didn't even have time to pay attention to the broken teacups on the ground. His mind was blank. He couldn't understand why he was involved in the murder case.
Cheng Dizhang was the first to come to her senses. She quickly put the record back to its place, then walked up to An Yin and said, "Comrade police officer, you must have made a mistake! My husband has always been a good man, how could he be involved in such a thing?"
"He..." Cheng Dizhang tried to continue explaining, but her words were interrupted by An Yin's decisiveness.
An Yin had a serious expression and a firm gaze as he said, "Are you kidding me? We'll get to the bottom of this when we get back to the police station." His tone left no room for doubt, and it made people feel a strong sense of pressure.
After Li Zhong realized what was happening, he looked at An Yin with a puzzled look on his face and said, "Police comrade, what do you mean by this? When did I…"
However, An Yin did not want to delay any longer. He interrupted Li Zhong and said sternly, "Mr. Li, please actively cooperate with our investigation!"
Cheng Dizhang was very dissatisfied with An Yin's harsh tone. She stood up and said in a voice full of anger and doubt: "Police comrade, you have to follow some rules and procedures! You suddenly brought people into our house and said that my husband was suspected of a murder case and planned to take him away."
"Don't you think this is too much? At least give us an explanation!"
Faced with Cheng Dizhang's questioning, An Yin did not retreat or hesitate at all.
He took out a folded paper from his pocket, unfolded it, showed it to Cheng Dizhang, and said calmly: "This is an arrest warrant. It has been approved."
Then, An Yin turned his head again and looked at Li Zhong who was sitting on the sofa. His expression was still as firm and serious as steel, and he said in a deep and powerful voice: "Mr. Li, please come with us."
At this moment, Li Zhong's attention was also drawn to the paper order unfolded in An Yin's hand.
He slowly stood up from his seat and walked forward steadily, closer to An Yin so that he could look at the contents of the paper more closely.
When he finally saw the words on the paper clearly, his expression changed slightly, revealing a hint of surprise and confusion, but this emotion only lasted for a moment before disappearing.
After all, with the rich experience accumulated from many years of business, he quickly adjusted his mentality and made his expression calm again.
Li Zhong turned to look at An Yin and said firmly, "Okay, I will go to the police station with you."
Then, he turned his gaze to Cheng Dizhang and whispered, "Just stay at home and don't go anywhere."
Cheng Dizhang was obviously still a little worried. Just as she was about to say something, Li Zhong waved his hand to interrupt her. He continued, "Don't think too much. I just went to the police station to assist in the investigation. Nothing will happen."
After hearing this, Cheng Dizhan had no choice but to say no more.
Seeing this, An Yin gestured to Li Zhong and said politely, "Please come in."
Li Zhong nodded slightly to show his agreement, then walked out of the room under the escort of two policemen and got into the police car together.
At the same time, a group of neatly-uniformed policemen arrived at the Lan family's luxurious villa near the coastline.
The whole family was enjoying a delicious breakfast at the moment, and the sudden visit left everyone stunned and surprised.
As the elder of the family, Lan Wenda was the first to come to his senses. He quickly stood up, walked towards the policeman at the door, and asked politely, "Police comrade, what brings you to my humble abode?"
As he spoke, he led the leading police officer towards the sofa area in the spacious and bright hall.
The leading police officer answered as he walked, "Mr. Lan, this visit is mainly about the car accident your grandson had last time."
As soon as he finished speaking, the two of them were sitting side by side on the comfortable sofa.
Seeing Lan Wenda stand up and leave, the other family members also put down their tableware and followed him to the sofa area. They stood quietly beside Lan Wenda, except Luo Xiu who sat on Lan Wenda's right.
When Lan Yaoxia heard that this matter was related to her, the incident of Xu Yourong changing his confession immediately came to her mind.
"Car accident?" Hearing the police's words, Lan Wenda's originally bright eyes became like a cold wind. His pupils shrank sharply, like two cold rays of light, shooting straight at Lan Yonggui.
Such a look is chilling, and there seems to be a kind of majesty in the eyes.
"What exactly have you been hiding from me?" Lan Wen answered in a loud voice, as powerful as a gong, with a questioning tone.
Feeling his father's anger, Lan Yonggui explained: "Some time ago, Yaoxia was in a car accident and was seriously injured. I was afraid that you and mother would worry, so I didn't tell you..."
Lan Wenda snorted coldly. Everyone knew that he was angry, but Lan Yonggui did not stop explaining.
"I just want to wait until Yaoxia's body recovers a little before telling you slowly. I don't want to make you worry too much..." Lan Yonggui's voice became lower and lower.
The policeman interrupted at this time: "Mr. Lan Yaoxia was also present, right?"
When Lan Yaoxia heard the police call her name, she walked out of the crowd and said softly, "I'm Lan Yaoxia."
The policeman looked at Lan Yaoxia and said, "Mr. Lan, we are here this time because we hope you can go to the police station to cooperate with the relevant investigation."
Lan Yaoxia deliberately showed a hint of doubt on her face, and responded calmly: "Oh? It sounds like you think there are some problems with this case?"
The police nodded and answered seriously: "Yes, the perpetrator of the car accident has overturned his previous confession. He admitted that someone paid him to plan and carry out your murder."
