Wu Cheng lowered his head and said calmly: "The police suspected me because I had the time to commit the crime. They suspected you because you had the motive to commit the crime. But if you sat in my car and returned to the hospital with me that night,
, because I had been staying with you, I mistakenly picked up Tong Yuan on the wrong floor, and I didn’t bother to look for anyone afterwards, so that both of us had an alibi."
To He Xiaohui's ears, these words seemed like a fantasy.
"Are you kidding?" She looked at Wu Cheng in disbelief, "Would it be more suspicious if I told the police that I went to the hospital with you that night? Besides, the police will not tell such a lie that can be exposed immediately.
Believe it!"
Wu Cheng still spoke at a leisurely pace and said: "Xiaohui, you still don't understand... The reason why the police suspected you was because the letters you wrote to Tong Yuan made them think that you had feelings for Tong Yuan.
It creates a twisted feeling, but if you have a boyfriend, there will be no such motive for killing."
"You mean..." He Xiaohui pursed her lips and asked with an ugly face, "We want to pretend to be lovers?"
"Yeah." Wu Cheng nodded lightly, with a bit of embarrassment on his face, "I know... you said before that we will get along as ordinary friends from now on, but I think the matter is urgent and we can consider this method until the case is over.
, let’s just find any reason to break up... We have known each other for so long and understand each other’s preferences. Even if the police interrogate us, it will not be easy for us to make mistakes.”
"But this is too ridiculous..." He Xiaohui couldn't agree, her brows were frowning so much that she could kill a fly, "You want to tell the police that we were together all night? In this car all night? What will they do?
Miss us?!"
"What do they think...does it matter?" Wu Cheng said slowly, "As long as the suspicion can be cleared, you don't want to be arrested and questioned again, right?"
"No, no, no, no..." He Xiaohui shook her head vigorously, unable to accept it at all, "Wu Cheng, please stop making bad ideas! You can't act like falling in love, and those policemen are not fools. Besides, I didn't kill anyone in the first place, okay?
If you sit upright and sit upright, no matter how many times they come to ask me, I will always be clean and I am not afraid of them checking me!"
Wu Cheng was silent for a moment and whispered: "Is it because you can't act, or because you don't want to have anything to do with me... You don't even want to pretend..."
"I didn't mean that..." He Xiaohui sighed. She was already so worried about what happened online that she really didn't have the energy to appease Wu Cheng's mood.
She rubbed her head and said tiredly: "I just don't think it's necessary... Anyway, we didn't kill anyone, so there's no need to feel guilty and scared. I don't believe that they can still be accused of something we haven't done?"
Wu Cheng looked at the congested traffic in front of him and said nothing for a long time.
He didn't speak, and He Xiaohui didn't dare to speak casually, for fear of causing him to say some unbelievable thoughts.
But remaining silent seems to be no solution.
He Xiaohui looked out the car window and said casually: "It seems like it's going to rain."
"The weather forecast says there will be rain and snow tomorrow morning," Wu Cheng replied.
"It's raining and snowing... Well, it will definitely be difficult to get on the subway tomorrow morning." He Xiaohui sighed in a low voice, feeling depressed. When she thought of going to the company tomorrow to face her boss and colleagues, enduring being gloated about one's misfortune, and being treated as a joke,
She even had the urge to resign.
"Sorry..." Wu Cheng suddenly said, "I just lied."
He Xiaohui raised her head and looked at him, "...what?"
"I lied to you about clearing the two of us from suspicion." Wu Cheng whispered, "I was afraid. I didn't want to be arrested as a murderer by the police, so I wanted you to help me perjury... As long as
If you tell the police that you were in my car that night, it proves that I haven't been anywhere, and I can clear my suspicions."
His voice became lower and lower, seeming lonely and helpless, "Xiao Hui... I am Tong Yuan's driver. I was in the parking lot that night, but Tong Yuan died. I don't know what to do to get rid of him."
Suspect, can you help me? We are friends, right?"
His call as a friend made He Xiaohui's scalp numb.
"I...I also want to help you, but there is really no need to commit perjury." He Xiaohui was helpless, "Don't be nervous, don't be afraid, the police will investigate it sooner or later, and even if they are suspicious,
What can they do to you? They have no evidence, and they cannot convict people without evidence."
Wu Cheng lowered his eyes silently, hiding the gloom in his eyes.
After a while, he said softly: "Those people who scolded you on the Internet have no evidence, but they still convicted you, right?"
He Xiaohui opened her eyes wide when she heard this and looked at him dumbly.
Wu Cheng chose to ignore it, started the engine on his own, and said: "Forget it, I shouldn't mention this...it seems that the traffic jam is not too heavy, I will take you back."
He Xiaohui didn't know what to say...
Sometimes she couldn't tell whether Wu Cheng was intentional or careless. If it was intentional, he would apologize every time he said it, but if he was careless, he would hit her pain points accurately every time.
The whole journey was silent.
The silence in the car lasted until the destination.
Wu Cheng offered to send her in.
He Xiaohui did not stop her and got out of the car silently.
She had just refused to perjury for him in the car. If she refused him to send her into the community again, it would be too cold to do so.
After Wu Cheng got out of the car, he went around to the trunk, took out a black umbrella and handed it to her, saying, "It will rain and snow tomorrow, so keep this umbrella for yourself."
He Xiaohui was slightly startled when she saw the unique carving design on the umbrella handle, "Why does it look familiar..."
"You bought it for Tong Yuan." Wu Cheng explained, "You know Tong Yuan likes this, so you saved money to buy it for him, but in fact, if you really like it, you won't pile up fan gifts in the storage room.
People can deal with it as they please... There are several umbrellas placed in every vehicle in the company, so I will bring this umbrella out for you."
He Xiaohui took it with a complicated mood.
She remembered that a year ago, she had still foolishly liked Tong Yuan, ranking for him, voting for him, buying various of his peripheral products, and writing to him persistently... But now, Tong Yuan had ruined her reputation.
If she had known today, she shouldn't have...
Forget it, there is no regret medicine in this world.
He Xiaohui swallowed all the bitterness.
She opened the umbrella, turned it twice, then closed it and said "thank you" to Wu Cheng.
"Do you like it?" Wu Cheng looked at her and asked, with an unusual seriousness in his tone.
He Xiaohui nodded slightly, with a bit of sadness, and replied: "Yes, I like it."
"As long as you like it." Wu Cheng raised the corners of his mouth, and his smile was as naive as his appearance, "Go to bed early and see you later."
He turned and left.
He Xiaohui watched him gradually walk away. Although she didn't know why he didn't insist on sending her upstairs this time, she didn't want to go into details and went home holding the umbrella.
