Seeing the crime scene flashbacks made me the darling of the police station.

Chapter 172 Meeting Shi Xiaoru

When did you go to Dianchi?

In the interrogation room, Su Miaoyi asked Shi Xiaoru some questions.

"These are the plane tickets I bought." Shi Xiaoru showed her her ticket purchase information.

Zhuang Yanzheng also glanced at it.

"Have you been in Dian City all these days?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked.

"Yes." Shi Xiaoru answered, looked at the two of them, and after a while, realized that they suspected her of committing the crime after returning from Yunnan.

So she checked her phone again: "These are all photos I took in Dian City. They are all original photos taken with the camera, without any editing. The album contains the address and the time of shooting."

Shi Xiaoru flipped through the photo album.

Su Miaoyi and Zhuang Yanzheng were both watching.

Aside from the day she went to Dian City and today, Shi Xiaoru took many photos every day during the other few days.

Photos every day, the kind that you can't see the end of in a single line.

Most of them are photos of herself, with a few being landscape photos.

There are photos every day.

There was indeed a time and place.

Looking at the album full of photos, Su Miaoyi's first thought was that she didn't seem to be on vacation; it was more like she had moved to a different place to work.

She's someone who doesn't like taking photos, and just looking at them is exhausting.

"Also, the address where I made the payments." Shi Xiaoru was worried about being suspected, so she kept looking for evidence to prove that she had always been in Dian City. "The money I spent on meals, shopping, and hotel stays is all here, and it can all be checked."

Su Miaoyi and Zhuang Yanzheng watched her spend money one by one.

"Oh, right," Shi Xiaoru added, "I rented a car after I arrived in Dian City. This is the car rental information, and this is the payment record. There's a trip recorder in the car, which can also prove that I've been in Dian City the whole time."

"Okay," Su Miaoyi said, "we understand."

Shi Xiaoru continued, "I was really angry. They photoshopped my portrait into a funeral portrait, cursed my parents and family, and waited outside my door. When they did, I really wanted to take them down with me and drag them down with me."

"But... I'm just thinking about it. How could I dare? I have parents to support, and a whole team to support. If something really happens to me, wouldn't everyone on my team starve?"

"And I have so many fans who support me. They like me and support me so much. I can't let something happen to me and make them worry."

“Doing illegal things and harming yourself are actions that bring pain to loved ones and joy to enemies. I cannot do such things.”

Su Miaoyi looked at her.

You can tell that she truly cherishes the people around her, loves them very much, and also loves her fans.

"What's going on between you and Wu Liang?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked.

“We had an offline event on our platform a while ago, and Wu Liang initially said he was pursuing me.” Shi Xiaoru frowned. “To be honest, I don’t know him, I’ve never seen him on the platform, and I have no idea who he is. He’s a complete stranger to me. How could I possibly agree to date him?”

"Besides, I don't plan to be in a relationship right now, so I refused," Shi Xiaoru said. "But later, a few more guys came over and said they wanted to pursue me."

“I felt something was off. Later, my assistant told me that Wu Liang and the others knew each other. I was actually a little angry.”

"Their behavior was completely disrespectful to me. So when they came to talk to me later, I ignored them."

"Then, on the night we were preparing to return to Jinghai after the event, Wu Liang got drunk and started touching me inappropriately. He even said things like asking me to go to his room and let him sleep with me, so I slapped him." Shi Xiaoru said, sighing, "Later, Wu Liang started making up those stories online. At first, he just directed his fans to comment on my videos."

“I wanted to tell everyone online that Wu Liang was harassing me, but then I thought about it and realized that if I did, he would definitely lose his job. He might face huge breach of contract penalties, so I didn’t speak out at first.”

Neither Su Miaoyi nor Zhuang Yanzheng spoke; they listened to her.

"They say having pity on truly wicked people is a sin against heaven," Shi Xiaoru said angrily. "Look, I'm getting my comeuppance, and I deserve it. Nobody will believe me if I try to talk about it later. I don't have any evidence yet, so I'm just giving the team a break to regroup. If I really can't handle this, I'll have my team members show up while I go behind the scenes."

"Anyway, I'm getting older, so I should give more opportunities to young people and spend more time with my parents. Who knew something like this would happen?"

To be honest, Shi Xiaoru was a little scared.

"Do Xiao Xia and Luo Min know each other?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked.

Shi Xiaoru shook her head: "I don't know them. The police in Dian City mentioned them to me, but I don't know them. Three of them died, right? I was so nervous. After they contacted me and said people had died, I was terrified. They said a lot of things to me, but I didn't quite hear them."

"Mm." Zhuang Yanzheng nodded.

Shi Xiaoru frowned: "Does everything point to me?"

Su Miaoyi and Zhuang Yanzheng exchanged a glance.

Zhuang Yanzheng nodded.

Su Miaoyi took out Zhu Xuan's photo: "Do you recognize her?"

When Shi Xiaoru saw Zhu Xuan's photo, she nodded at first, then asked with shock and anxiety, "Did something happen to her too? What happened to her? Weren't there three of them? Was she... murdered too?"

"No," Su Miaoyi asked. "What's your relationship with her?"

“We were college classmates and roommates, and we have a very good relationship,” Shi Xiaoru said.

When was the last time I contacted her?

Shi Xiaoru thought for a moment, then took out her phone and scrolled through the chat history: "On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, she sent me a blessing message, and we chatted for a few minutes."

Su Miaoyi and Zhuang Yanzheng looked at her chat history again.

It matches the information on Zhu Xuan's phone.

"What kind of person is Zhu Xuan in your impression?" Su Miaoyi asked.

Shi Xiaoru didn't know what had happened, but her expression suddenly turned sour, as if something bad had occurred.

After a moment of silence, she said, "She...she's very good. She's very smart and learns everything very quickly. She's just not very talkative and is often alone. When I was in college, I injured my foot and had difficulty moving around. We lived in an old dormitory building without an elevator. She carried me up and down the stairs for more than a month."

“She was very strong, and every day she would carry me up and down four flights of stairs. After that, we became very close. Later I found out that she lived alone. So I would often buy her things, food, drinks, and clothes, and I would buy her an extra one of everything. During holidays, I would ask her to come home with me.”

"When did you injure your foot?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked.

"I was a freshman, not long after I started university," Shi Xiaoru said. "Back then, I often said, 'Why did I have to fall and hurt my foot right after military training?'"

Su Miaoyi took notes.

Zhu Xuan learned kung fu during the period between the time she was on the island and before she went to university.

"After graduation, we kept in touch frequently for a few years and met occasionally. Later, we got busy and only contacted each other on holidays."

"But in my heart, I will always remember her and always consider her a good friend. We remember each other's birthdays and give each other gifts."
