349: Chapter 349 [The Oddity in the Detention Center] Fifth Update!
The fifth update!
“Huh?” Tian Meidi’s expression stiffened, and she looked at Chen Xijun with some disbelief as she approached.
Chen Xijun walked up to her with a smile, took a sniff, and said, “You have the scent of cola on you!”
“You say it’s there and it’s there?” Tian Meidi retorted unconvinced.
“Forgot to tell you, our Captain Chen’s sense of smell is said to rival that of a police dog’s!”
“Yeah, that’s right.
If Captain Chen says he can smell it, then there must be something to it.
If you don’t believe it, we can bring in a police dog to test it!” someone said triumphantly from the side.
Now Tian Meidi was left speechless, and with no other choice, she could only say, “I drank cola today; what does that prove?
You can’t say everyone who drinks cola is a murderer, can you?”
Ye Chenfeng sneered repeatedly, “First, I just had Xi Dazhuang check—the only person in the marketing department who bought cola today was Xue Tian, no one else.
Second, if I’m not mistaken, you got your period today, right?
Don’t tell me you’d drink an iced beverage when you’re on your period!”
“You…”
With just a few words, Ye Chenfeng rendered Tian Meidi speechless.
Chen Xijun wasn’t just standing around idle; she had a female officer take a sanitary pad from Tian Meidi’s bag and go to the restroom.
“What Ye Chenfeng said is correct!” With the results in, Chen Xijun spoke.
Godlike!
Everyone looked at Ye Chenfeng with admiration in their eyes.
Not only was his analysis divine, but he even knew that Tian Meidi was on her period, which was just too miraculous.
Standing behind Ye Chenfeng, Chu Qingxue couldn’t help but sense that Ye Chenfeng’s image was becoming taller and mightier, giving her a feeling akin to that of Sherlock Holmes.
Chu Qingxue liked this kind of hero.
“Furthermore, when Xue Tian came to my office this afternoon, it wasn’t for anything else but to tell me one piece of news—she found the finance department’s report in your USB drive!” Ye Chenfeng continued.
“You’re talking nonsense!
Now that Xue Tian is dead, you can say whatever you like,” Tian Meidi said, her expression becoming somewhat agitated.
Ye Chenfeng smiled, “You’re right, my words alone prove nothing.
But you’ve overlooked one detail!”
“Boom!”
Tian Meidi’s body trembled, “What?”
“Before her death, Xue Tian left behind evidence!” Ye Chenfeng declared.
“What?
Where’s your evidence?
It better not be just your word!” Tian Meidi challenged.
Ye Chenfeng sneered, “This afternoon, as soon as the news of the confidential information theft spread across the company, Xue Tian immediately thought of you.
Then, she went through your bag and found the USB drive to confirm her suspicions.
However, you appeared in time and caught Xue Tian in the act.
But the smart Xue Tian had already made a video recording of the content of the USB drive and sent it to me!”
As he spoke, Ye Chenfeng took out his phone and shook it in front of Tian Meidi.
Tian Meidi’s face showed utter disbelief, “Impossible, when she was checking the USB drive, I was standing right behind her, she was too nervous to do anything else!”
“See for yourself,” Ye Chenfeng offered the phone to her.
Tian Meidi hastily took it, but when she saw the content on the phone, she froze, then slowly raised her head, fixing Ye Chenfeng with bloodshot eyes: “You tricked me?”
“Just realized?
Too bad it’s too late!” Ye Chenfeng laughed.
Turns out Ye Chenfeng had played a little trick.
Now that Tian Meidi was extremely flustered, she naturally fell right into the trap.
What he said about Xue Tian taking Tian Meidi’s USB drive was just a guess, but it was a very close guess indeed.
“Ye Chenfeng, I won’t let you go!
Ah!” Tian Meidi let out a bizarre cry, suddenly attempting to break free, and kicked over the police officer closest to her.
“Bang!”
But as she tried to escape, Chen Xijun had already made her move, her leaping leg sweeping through the air in a swift, thunderous arc, slamming hard into Tian Meidi’s back, knocking her to the ground.
“Don’t move!…”
Immediately after, several police officers pounced on Tian Meidi and firmly pinned her down before handcuffing her.
Normally, Tian Meidi might have been able to struggle, but today, she was on her period and in a weakened state.
Ye Chenfeng approached her and whispered in her ear, “Whose side are you on?
The Axe Gang?
Prince Crown Prince?”
“You…” Tian Meidi’s eyes bulged with shock.
“The day you entered my office, don’t think I was unaware.
The Miaojiang bewitching fragrance you used is indeed domineering, but it’s useless against me!
Otherwise, you would have really taken the Ancient Tomb Key!” Ye Chenfeng whispered.
The expression in Tian Meidi’s eyes was completely replaced by horror, and she said as if she had seen a ghost, “You actually know about the Miaojiang bewitching fragrance?
That’s impossible, you can’t be sober after being exposed to it!”
“I am that one possibility!” Ye Chenfeng exuded immense confidence.
“Impossible!…” Tian Meidi was almost like a madwoman.
Ye Chenfeng came before Chen Xijun, “Captain Chen, I leave her to you.
I hope you can provide an explanation to Xue Tian!”
“No problem, but what did you just say to her, Ye Chenfeng?” Chen Xijun’s eyes showed a hint of confusion.
“If you have the skill to extract it from her, I’ll tell you!” Ye Chenfeng said.
“You…” Chen Xijun was so frustrated she was gasping for air.
Too much had happened that day.
First, the theft of company secrets had people on edge, and then Xue Tian’s death cast an even darker shadow over the company.
Eventually, the matter came to a close.
Xue Tian couldn’t come back to life, but Chu Qingxue issued an extremely generous condolence payment to Xue Tian’s family to provide some solace.
At the Royal Garden villa, Ye Chenfeng smoked a cigarette with a melancholic expression on his face.
“Not happy?” Chu Qingxue slowly came up to his side.
Ye Chenfeng gazed into the distance and said indifferently, “After all, it was a living being who died before my eyes.”
Though Ye Chenfeng spoke as if it were nothing significant, Chu Qingxue could feel the chilling morbidity radiating from him; she even noticed the demonic red glint in his eyes.
“I’m also sad.
Xue Tian was an excellent girl, in the prime of her youth, but alas.
She has a younger brother who’s in high school.
I will sponsor his education through high school, college, and even postgraduate studies.
That’s all I can do now,” Chu Qingxue said.
Ye Chenfeng nodded, “Xue Tian would be very happy knowing this down below.”
In the temporary detention center of Jiangnan City Public Security Bureau.
Tian Meidi, who had just been apprehended in the daytime, was being held there, and she would be transferred to prison tomorrow.
The detention center was as orderly as usual.
But for some reason, tonight, it had an unusual and eerie atmosphere.
The corridor between the cells wasn’t very bright, it was even a bit dim.
“Xiao Wu, why do I feel so cold, it’s giving me goosebumps!” an old policeman at the detention center said to a Rookie who had just graduated from the police academy.
The one called Xiao Wu nodded as well, “Yeah, it’s really cold!”
They were in charge of the area where Tian Meidi was detained.
“Shasha shasha…”
A series of soft footsteps seemed to knock on the hearts of the two men, giving them a suffocating feeling of oppression, as if they were immobilized in that moment.
At the end of the corridor, shrouded in fog and carrying an eerie atmosphere, a shadowy figure appeared out of nowhere at the border between light and darkness, like a specter emerging in the dead of night.
“Ga!”
Under the eerie atmosphere, both the old and the young policeman’s complexions drastically changed to a deathly pale, their eyes filled with extreme terror, as if they had just witnessed Sadako herself appearing in the night.
Their chests felt as if they were being pressed down by a heavy stone, and they couldn’t make a sound.
