Seventies Sweetheart: From Breakup to Billionaire-Chapter 156: New Clues

Chapter 156: Chapter 156: New Clues
But when it comes to a human life, even if Lin Xiang doesn’t like Aunt Lin’s family, she can’t just conclude that the person who harmed Huang Jiayun is Yu Yuan because of Zhu Zhu’s few words.
"Just because Yu Yuan is your cousin, you want to help him?" After Lin Xiang expressed her opinion, Zhu Zhu slammed his fist on the table.
The wooden table, already in use for many years, cracked a bit under Zhu Zhu’s fury.
Lin Xiang looked at the furious Zhu Zhu, extremely calm.
"You said it yourself, you have no evidence, this is just your guess, whether Yu Yuan is the murderer needs the police to investigate, not you to judge. If the murderer isn’t Yu Yuan, your guess is unfair to Yu Yuan and Huang Jiayun, it will only let the real murderer go free."
Lin Xiang’s tone was very calm, but Zhu Zhu was not.
His hand was tightly clenched into a fist, "Just because Yu Yuan is your cousin, you speak up for him. You don’t really want to help Yunyun at all!"
Zhu Zhu’s questioning tone made Lin Xiang laugh in anger.
"Everyone in the Li Hua Team knows that my family and the Yu Family don’t get along. Putting aside Yu Yuan, this cousin who I haven’t contacted in eight hundred years, even his own mother, my aunt, I would scold without hesitation, so it doesn’t exist that I would ignore the truth to help Yu Yuan."
"Secondly, Huang Jiayun and I are mere acquaintances. Because I feel sorry for her situation, I’m willing to help her find the real murderer within my ability, but this doesn’t mean I would overlook the truth for her!"
"Lastly, you have no relation with Comrade Huang Jiayun, and you have no standing to accuse me."
Zhu Zhu didn’t expect Lin Xiang to say this, his anger was extinguished, and he calmed down a lot, "But... but you were the first to find Yunyun."
"Precisely because I found her first, I spent an afternoon cooperating with the police to make notes. I will honestly inform the police of everything I know, hoping to provide more clues. But I can’t open my mouth and convict Yu Yuan. As I said, whether he is the murderer or not requires police investigation, none of us have the right to unjustly accuse anyone."
Zhu Zhu slumped.
Clearly, Lin Xiang’s attitude wasn’t what he expected.
"However, although we can’t convict Yu Yuan, this is a clue, I will truthfully inform the police."
Yu Yuan has a motive to harm Huang Jiayun, but Lin Xiang also has no right to assert if he is the murderer.
Zhu Zhu left Fifth Uncle’s house dejectedly.
As soon as Zhu Zhu left, Mrs. Lin rushed into the living room, looking at Lin Xiang hesitantly.
But Lin Xiang was thinking about something else and didn’t notice Mrs. Lin’s dilemma.
Mrs. Lin waved Fifth Uncle over, "Fifth brother, come here."
She lowered her voice to ask Fifth Uncle, "I think I just heard you mention Yu Yuan’s name. Is it the Yu Yuan from my elder sister’s family?"
Fifth Uncle looked at Mrs. Lin’s eager expression, then at the furrowed brow of Lin Xiang, licking his lips, "Second sister-in-law, you should wait and ask the girl later."
"Don’t be like this! You should tell me now!"
"Mom, you don’t need to force Fifth Uncle, it is indeed your nephew Yu Yuan."
Mrs. Lin’s heart skipped a beat, she cautiously asked, "Did Yu Yuan harm Smartie Huang?"
"It’s hard to say now. We can only say he is a suspect. I need to go to town and this clue to the police."
"Girl!" Mrs. Lin called out to Lin Xiang.
Lin Xiang stopped and looked at Mrs. Lin, in the moment of eye contact, mother and daughter didn’t say a word, but they could see through what the other wanted to say from their eyes.
After a few seconds of staring, Mrs. Lin ultimately gave up first, sighed lowly, "The weather will probably rain again, wear your raincoat and galoshes, and take a rain umbrella, don’t get wet and catch a cold."
"Alright."
Lin Xiang slipped on her galoshes, carefully draped on the raincoat, picked up the umbrella with her right hand, and went out the door.
It’s only about four o’clock in the afternoon now, but in the rainy winter days, the sky is gray, with a sense of impending storm, clearly it’s not too late, but there isn’t much light left.
Everywhere exudes a suffocating sense of oppression.
Lin Xiang went to the brigade office to borrow a bicycle.
But both bicycles were ridden to town by brigade cadres, Lin Xiang could only walk.
Rainy weather made the road difficult to walk, a journey that usually takes an hour, Lin Xiang trudged almost an hour and a half.
Usually at this time, the police station is off work, leaving only the police on duty.
But because something big happened, and it involved Smartie Huang, the entire police station was lit up, everyone was busy.
Lin Xiang leaned her umbrella against the corner, shook off the raincoat she had on, then entered the police station, finding the officer who recorded her statement today.
"Officer Jin, I have new clues."
Lin Xiang told Officer Jin about the information Zhu Zhu shared with her again.
"Comrade Lin Xiang, thank you for providing such useful clues, we will investigate according to this lead. We won’t wrong anyone nor let the real murderer get away."
When leaving the police station, the sky outside was already completely dark.
The rain was still falling, accompanied by gusts of cold wind, Lin Xiang couldn’t help but tighten her coat around herself.
It was a long road, and she didn’t know how to get home.
Just as Lin Xiang was about to muster enough courage to trot back, she suddenly heard someone call her name.
"Comrade Lin, why are you leaving the police station so late?"
In the rainy night, Secretary Wang holding an umbrella in one hand and pushing a bicycle, looked surprised when he saw Lin Xiang.
Lin Xiang just planned to explain, but he suddenly remembered, "I just realized, the Smartie Huang who was involved in the incident today seems to be from your Li Hua Team."
Lin Xiang forced a smile, "Not only is she from our Li Hua Team, but I was the first to discover her body."
Lin Xiang’s eyes were red, her voice filled with endless sorrow, "Unfortunately, I found her a bit late. Had I discovered her earlier, maybe she wouldn’t have..."
"Comrade Lin, this is not your fault, you shouldn’t blame yourself unnecessarily."
Secretary Wang took out a handkerchief and handed it to Lin Xiang.
Lin Xiang waved her hand to refuse Secretary Wang’s kindness, wiping her wet eyes with her sleeve.
She didn’t have deep feelings for Huang Jiayun, after all, they hadn’t interacted much.
But a vibrant life perished like this, Lin Xiang couldn’t help feeling sentimental.
Secretary Wang put his handkerchief away, looked at the night sky, "Wait here for a few minutes, I’ll get a document, and I’ll take you home once I come out."
"No need to trouble, I’ll walk back myself. It’s raining now, if you take me home, it’ll take about an hour or two, it’s too much bother."
Moreover, they were both unmarried, if others saw them, who knows what they would say.
