Seeing his painful expression, Lin Chen felt sad.

"Brother, I never thought something like this would happen to you."

Lin Chen filled Xu Jie's glass of wine.

He was drinking in a restaurant not far from the police station, and he must be feeling extremely conflicted.

Then he helped analyze:

"How easy it is for you to handle this matter depends on how good your relationship is with your friends. For example, if something happens to a relative, you will definitely stand on the side of the relative and do your best to protect them."

Xu Jie paused for a moment. If it were his parents, he would definitely not be so entangled.

But now it's Lucy, a daughter-in-law who doesn't have much affection for him.

And not long ago, her family members went to the hospital to ask for money, which made her grandfather angry to death.

His parents were now furious and asked him to ask Lucy for 5,000 yuan in compensation, or else they would get divorced immediately.

Lucy's attitude was neither divorce nor compensation.

What does his grandfather's death have to do with them?

The two families were at loggerheads over money.

He also understood now that Lucy married him purely because he was afraid of exposing her whereabouts.

She doesn't love him at all.

The pressure from his parents and Lucy's indifference gave him the idea of ​​reporting.

If the matter is exposed and Lucy is caught, he will be guilty of harboring.

Hearing what Lin Chen said, he felt that he was quite an asshole.

He actually wanted to report his wife.

Seeing that Lin Chen was listening sincerely, Xu Jie explained a lot of details in a subtle way.

The more Lin Chen listened, the more something was wrong. He asked his friend's employer and name in a circumstantial way.

Without warning, Xu Jie told him that the person's name was Lucy and she worked in a trading company.

Lin Chen was stunned as if struck by lightning.

Based on what Xu Jie said, the person who set the fire was most likely Lucy, and Xu Jie was also an insider.

A powerful feeling of happiness swept over him.

His face was calm.

He must not show any excitement for Xu Jie to see through.

"Brother, after saying so much, I still want to remind you. Failure to report something after knowing it is also a crime. You can't carry this burden for the rest of your life, right?"

"Besides, I heard just now that your friend is not very nice to you. A good friend will naturally stab you in every possible way. This bad friend can only wait to be stabbed by her." Lin Chen changed his tone.

Xu Jie was completely confused. What should he do?

......

A few hours ago, Lucy came to the company to work, but Jiang Ning was still nowhere to be seen.

"You don't know, Jiang Ning's husband called Jack and told him to take leave today. It's not a leave. She was taken away by the police. She is related to the fire case."

A coworker is gossiping.

Lucy couldn't hide the smile on her face,

"I never expected that a seemingly harmless person would actually set a fire just for the sake of an order. It's true that a person cannot be judged by his appearance."

After hearing this, Xu Yan's face became so heavy that ink dripped from her face.

"Lucy, don't talk about things that are baseless. It's also a crime to slander people."

"Don't scare me. I was right. Didn't she go into the police station?" Lucy put her hands on her hips and showed no fear.

The colleague who was gossiping just now also gloated:

"The police came to my house with the remaining cotton yarn from the fire scene and asked me if I had seen it. I could only answer truthfully. It was the kind of rag Jiang Ning used. It was unmistakable."

Xu Yan stood up suddenly and glared at her:

"You are guilty after using the same rag. Fortunately, you are not allowed to enter the judicial system. Otherwise, you will not know how many unjust, false, and wrongful convictions have been made. It is true that Jiang Ning used a cotton rag, but in such a big city, others may not be able to use it.

Even if it was really hers, wouldn't there be a possibility that someone else might commit a crime with her rag? "

The man curled his lips and kept silent, looking unconvinced.

She is in another group and is a competitor with Xu Yan.

I thought I could finally hit them, but I was shocked into silence.

Lucy also panicked after hearing her words.

The police are not fools and will definitely check the evidence from multiple sources.

Lucy thought about the big fight she had with Xu Jie last night, and felt scared.

She decided to find Xu Jie quickly and beg him.

At the same time, Jiaojiao and Tongtong came to the kindergarten under the escort of Gao Baoliang.

At the door, Jiaojiao, who was clinging to his neck, asked him when his mother would come to pick them up, and why his father wasn't there either?

Gao Baoliang coaxed her:

"They will come when school is over."

Tongtong noticed something was wrong early on and looked at Gao Baoliang suspiciously.

"Uncle Baoliang, if you don't tell us the truth, I will tell Aunt Meng Jiao about you throwing socks around and not liking foot washing."

Gao Baoliang was puzzled. This kid really knew how to control his seven inches.

He had to tell them that Jiang Ning was called for questioning by the police.

After hearing this, Jiaojiao's eyes immediately turned red, her mouth buried in Gao Baoliang's chest:

"Mom is not a bad person, they must have arrested the wrong person."

Tongtong acted like a little adult and told her to shut up:

"What's the use of crying. Let's go home and get the saliva towels we used when we were kids, and then go to the police station."

He already has an idea.

Gao Baoliang knew that he had big ideas and couldn't stop him at all, so he had to cooperate obediently.

After returning home, he asked Wang Xiufen to take out all the used saliva towels at home, and he took them to the police station with Gao Baoliang.

When he arrived at the police station, he directly questioned the policeman who was interrogating his mother and showed him the saliva towel.

"Uncle, I think it's a bit hasty for you to invite my mother here with just a piece of saliva towel. My mother used my saliva towel as a rag. This kind of thing can be easily accessed by people around her. How can it be used as evidence? ?”

The policeman was stunned at first, then squatted down and explained to him with a smile:

"Kid, we have considered the situation you mentioned. We called your mother here just for routine questioning. It does not mean that your mother has done something bad!

Moreover, after our investigation, your mother was not the one who set the fire that night. She is going through the formalities and will be out soon. You can wait on the chair over there. "

Tongtong's serious little face showed a smile: "Really? Thank you, uncle."

He sat down on the chair obediently.

Gao Baoliang said it was amazing.

This little guy is neither humble nor arrogant, he is calm and unhurried, I really don't know who he looks like.

While they were waiting quietly, Lin Chen helped Xu Jie into the police station and hurriedly found the police.

"Comrade police, this comrade has something to report to you. It's about a fire."

The police took it seriously and asked them to go to the interrogation room inside to talk.

At this moment, Lucy, who had been looking at the door, rushed out and hugged Xu Jie's leg.

"Ajie, come back with me. I agree to your request and give you five thousand yuan. We will not divorce."

Xu Jie looked her up and down with drunken eyes, "Who are you?"
