“Call the office and ask the secretary what’s going on.” Quan Jue was still diligently washing the dishes.
Chi Jiao nodded and was about to make another call when her phone suddenly rang.
Looking at the name displayed on the screen, Chi Jiao raised her eyebrows in surprise. “Officer Huo?”
Hearing Huo Chen’s name, Quan Jue immediately stopped washing the dishes. He looked like he wasn’t doing anything, but he was now closely observing Chi Jiao from the corner of his eye.
Chi Jiao had nothing to hide from him. She answered the call. “Officer Huo, what’s the matter?”
“Jiaojiao, your father is involved in a murder case. If you have time, you should come over quickly. The situation is a little complicated…” Huo Chen’s heavy voice came through the receiver.
The smile on Chi Jiao’s face immediately disappeared. “Alright, I’ll be right there.”
Seeing Chi Jiao’s grave expression after hanging up the phone, Quan Jue asked in concern, “What happened?”
“Officer Huo said that my father is involved in a murder case and is currently at the police station.” Chi Jiao was very anxious and looked at him in confusion. “How did my father become involved in a murder case?”
“Don’t worry about that for now. Let’s go to the police station.” With that, Quan Jue rinsed the foam off his hands and walked out of the kitchen with her.
“Shen Xing, my father is at the police station. Come with us.” Chi Jiao called out to Shen Xing.
Hearing that it was about Chi Mingwei, Shen Xing nodded and obediently followed.
The three of them soon arrived at the police station in a taxi.
Meeting Huo Chen and entering the police station, they saw Chi Mingwei in the prison-like detention room.
Chi Mingwei had taken off his blazer and was sitting in the detention room with a gloomy expression.
Chi Jiao’s heart tightened. She walked over quickly. “Daddy.”
Chi Mingwei suddenly heard his daughter’s voice. He couldn’t believe his eyes at first, but when he saw Chi Jiao and the other two striding over, he snapped out of his daze. “Jiaojiao, why are you here?”
“Officer Huo called me. Dad, what happened? Why are you involved in a murder case?” After Chi Jiao said that, she turned to look at Huo Chen anxiously. “Officer Huo, what happened? Why did you lock my father up?”
Seeing Chi Jiao’s anxious expression, Huo Chen quickly comforted her. “Don’t be anxious. I’ll get Officer An Cheng, who’s in charge of this case, to explain to you what happened.”
After Huo Chen finished speaking, he quickly called another police officer over.
“Officer An, these are Chi Mingwei’s family members. They want to know more about the case.” Huo Chen hurriedly introduced them.
Officer An had a very good attitude. Even though Chi Jiao and the others looked very young, he wasn’t condescending. Instead, he politely reached out to shake their hands and introduced himself. “Hello, I’m the police officer in charge of this homicide case. My name is An Cheng.”
“Officer An, please explain to us what happened.” Quan Jue’s attitude was calm and composed as he stared at him.
“It’s like this. This evening, we received a report from Mr. Chi Mingwei saying that there was a female corpse in his trunk.. We rushed to the scene, and after an investigation, we’ve confirmed the identity of the deceased.”
