Chapter 371: Rebuttal
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
As for why she suddenly went down the mountain, Le Wan had a valid reason.
“I was wearing a pair of small leather shoes at that time, which were not suitable for climbing. When I walked on the mountain road, I slipped several times and the edge of the road was uncomfortable, so I went down the mountain.”
The female police officer frowned.
“Did you have any witnesses after you went down the mountain?”
The smile on Le Wan’s face immediately disappeared when she heard this.
“Female police officer, what do you mean? As tourists, do we need someone to watch us go up and down the mountain?”
She looked at the two of them suspiciously.
“Are you suspecting that we have something to do with that criminal?” Mama Le quickly stood up and shielded her behind her.
“Officer, are you doing a routine questioning or an interrogation? If it’s an interrogation, I’m sorry, but please allow us to remain silent until our lawyer arrives.”
The policewoman had only thought that Le Wan looked like an inexperienced young girl, so she had tricked her. She didn’t expect the Le family to react so quickly and be so aggressive.
She exchanged glances with the male police officer and finally softened her tone.
“I’m sorry, we were just too worried about the safety of the people in town.
Because those two villains are vicious criminals, we were a little nervous. Moreover, the two of you just happened to be on the mountain. We were also afraid that they would change their target and target you.”
She hoped that Le Wan would cooperate with her for everyone’s safety.
Le Wan didn’t buy her words. She crossed her arms and sat on the sofa. She snorted unhappily and turned her head away to express her uncooperative attitude.
Zhai Jing quickly patted her hand to comfort her.
“I’m sorry, we don’t have any witnesses from when we went down the mountain. However, we went straight to the Summer Resort Hotel after we went down the mountain. There should be a record of our stay there.”
“Cough cough…” He coughed twice. “If you need it, you can go over there and check the time we left the church and checked in at the hotel. That way, you can confirm our whereabouts.’
Le Wan’s ears turned red as soon as he finished speaking.
Papa Le understood what was going on. He glared at the two of them and said to the two police officers,
“Since this matter has nothing to do with the two children, can we end this interrogation?”
The two police officers were adults after all. From Zhai Jing’s words and Le Wan’s reaction, they could roughly guess what they were going to the hotel for. Hence, they only glanced at the two of them teasingly and didn’t ask further.
Judging from their reactions, they didn’t seem to be lying. They couldn’t get more information, so they had to pack up and leave.
When they were about to leave, Le Wan suddenly said,
“Instead of suspecting us, I think you should check the priest in the church. He strongly recommended that we go up the mountain to the cabin today. Who knows if he’s with those bandits?”
The two police officers were locals, so they naturally knew Pastor White, who had served in the church for nearly 20 years. They could not help but explain,
“Pastor White is a kind and loving person. There must be some misunderstanding.”
Le Wan rolled her eves.
“Who knows? Maybe even you guys are in cahoots.” After all, she didn’t believe that things could be so coincidental.
Hearing Le Wan’s willful words, the two police officers walked out of the Le family’s villa helplessly.
The male police officer looked at the bustling villa area around him and wiped his face in frustration.
“So what do you think?”
The female police officer also felt that they were being used as scapegoats today, but she didn’t complain.
“Alright, let’s report the situation to the police chief first.”
The police chief of Wade Town was named Elber. He was supposed to be sitting at home enjoying the delicious dinner his wife had prepared, but when he was about to get off work today, he received a call from Mrs. Watson. She said that a guest invited by their family had been bullied in the small wooden house on the mountain. They suspected that the incident was related to the Le family in Villa No. 2 and wanted the police to help investigate.
Elber cursed in his heart as he agreed.
However, after hanging up the phone, he began to worry again when he saw that the target of the investigation was the Le family.
If it was any other time, they would have threatened outsiders. However, they were now facing the Le family..
