Jiang Nanshu was utterly bewildered when she heard the news.
How could Xu Xingwan have died so suddenly, without warning, in the sea?
Her body was only discovered when it drifted ashore. The police eventually contacted Bo Yan through a necklace found on Xu Xingwan.
The necklace was custom-made for her by Bo Yan. It was engraved with the initials of their names, which the police found easily during their investigation.
Jiang Nanshu, who was supposed to go shopping with Xu Xi, was forced into the police station because the surveillance footage showed that Jiang Nanshu had seen Xu Xingwan before she disappeared.
The police officer looked at Jiang Nanshu with a serious expression: “Ms. Jiang, please come with us to the interrogation room now. Our conversation will be recorded. Please answer my questions truthfully.”
Xu Xi, anxiously standing beside her, quickly stepped in front of Jiang Nanshu: “Officer, my Jiang Jiang would never harm anyone. Xu Xingwan’s death has nothing to do with her. Please, please let her go.”
The police officer looked at Xu Xi helplessly: “Miss, we won’t do anything to Ms. Jiang. We just have a few simple questions. Her statement will help us with our investigation.”
Jiang Nanshu held Xu Xi’s hand and said, “Xi Xi, it’s okay. Just wait for me outside. I’ll be out soon.”
Jiang Nanshu had a clear conscience. She was not so bored that she killed Xu Xingwan.
The interrogation room where Jiang Nanshu entered was very quiet and sealed on all sides, which unconsciously created psychological pressure and made people nervous.
Jiang Nanshu sat in a chair.
The police officer’s expression was gentle: “Don’t be nervous. I’ll just ask you a few questions. First, why did you meet with Xu Xingwan that night?”
Jiang Nanshu calmly replied, “I went to the restroom, and she waited for me at the door. Then she suddenly wanted to talk to me.”
The police officer quickly took notes: “What did you talk about?”
“She asked me to persuade my husband to let the Bo family go, because the business pressure on Bo Yan was exhausting. I didn’t want to interfere, so I refused.”
“Is that all? Anything else?”
Jiang Nanshu thought carefully: “Oh, there’s something else. That scumbag Bo Yan married someone else and then kept Xu Xingwan as a mistress. I mentioned it briefly, but even if I hadn’t, she knew it in her heart. So many years have passed; she can’t just wait for me to say something and then die, can she?”
Xu Xingwan had been a mistress for three years. During those three years, all the three parties involved knew about it. Jiang Nanshu didn’t think that it was her words that caused Xu Xingwan’s suicidal thoughts.
If she were truly that fragile, she would have died years ago; why wait until now?
The police officer was speechless for a moment.
He continued, “How was the deceased’s emotional state when you left?”
Jiang Nanshu thought for a moment and said, “I didn’t notice. There shouldn’t have been any major emotional fluctuations.”
How could she possibly notice so much?
The police officer sighed inwardly.
These wealthy families were truly chaotic.
They really didn’t want to get involved in this kind of case. They could not tolerate hearing shocking and outrageous secrets about wealthy families, and it was also difficult to handle. But this time, someone had died, so they had to find out the truth.
The police officer put away his pen: “Okay, I understand. We’ll summon you if there are any further developments. You can go back now.”
Next, they would question Bo Yan.
They would compare his statement with Jiang Nanshu’s and try to find the difference.
Seeing Jiang Nanshu emerge safely, Xu Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“What did the police ask you? Are you alright?”
Jiang Nanshu shook her head: “I’m fine, but I don’t know if Xu Xingwan’s death was suicide or murder.”
