“Hello, I am calling from Ye City’s police station, XX branch. Am I speaking to He Xiyan?”
When she saw that it was a call from the police, she hurriedly replied, “Hello, I’m He Xiyan.”
“I’m calling in regards to the police report you made previously. We have discovered some leads and we’d like you to verify some of the information we’ve uncovered. Please try to drop by the station today,” the police officer said.
“Sure, I’ll head over in the afternoon. Oh yes, have you managed to arrest the culprit?” He Xiyan said as she thought about the robber who injured her the last time and left such a long scar on her arm.
“We have yet to make any arrests but we’ve uncovered some clues. Please try to come over soon; before 3 PM if possible,” the police officer added before he hung up.
He Xiyan went to the cashier to make the payment and sent Yuan Yuan and Xi Xi back to the castle before she drove to the police station.
Ye City was much safer than before and she had not encountered any thieves or robbers in many years. Hence, she couldn’t believe that someone had tried to rob her in broad daylight. The robber had gone too far.
He Xiyan reached the police station at 2:30 PM and she was led into an interrogation room.
She sat opposite the police officer and soon, a police officer handed her several photographs.
“Ms. He, please verify if the man who attempted to rob you is the man in the photograph,” the police officer said.
He Xiyan picked up the stack of photographs. However, she only took one look at the first photograph before she said with certainty, “That’s definitely him. He’s riding the same motorcycle as the man who attempted to rob me. He was also wearing the same clothes and helmet as the man who attempted to rob me that day and his figure even resembles the one in my memory.”
The police officer said, “These photographs were taken by two high-definition cameras placed along two roads. The man rode past the area where you had been walking. Based on your account and the eyewitness’ account, as well as his location and the time stamp, we deduced that he was the culprit.”
He Xiyan’s face turned red and she became a little agitated as she said, “You should send your men to arrest him. If you don’t arrest him, he would continue to try to rob others.”
This was a street crime that commonly took place in public.
However, she was wrong.
The police officer shook his head and said, “We looked into this man’s identity and discovered that he is a 23-year-old man from Sichuan named Liu Zilong. He had been detained by the police for fighting in public and taking drugs. However, his record has been clean for the past two years and he doesn’t have any record of robbery. We looked into his background and saw that he bought tickets and left for Australia on the day of his failed attempted robbery. We also notified the bank to look into his bank account and that was when we discovered that he had 7 million dollars in his account.
He Xiyan froze in surprise and she couldn’t wrap her head around what the police had informed her.
How could a thug and a robber have 7 million dollars in his bank account? If someone had 7 million dollars in his bank account, did he have to resort to robbery? It didn’t make sense at all.
The police officer saw the confusion in her eyes and continued, “This was why we suspect that his motive wasn’t to rob you that day but instead, he had another motive for attacking you. We suspect that it might have been attempt murder. Could you think of any enemies you might have or anyone who might wish to do you harm?”
He Xiyan bit her lips and her brows knitted tightly together. However, she couldn’t think of anyone who she could have offended. She even thought back to the time when she was doing business at Ming City and she still could not think of anyone who she could have offended. However, there was a possibility that she was on the receiving end of someone else’s bitter hatred of her.
