Being His Little Fox - Chapter 23

Chapter 23: He Was Actually Helping Her

“I just deleted it…” Zhou Liang looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and his heart was pounding. He was really flustered.

He was afraid of Director Chen but even more afraid of Tang Si!

His voice was faltering. Obviously, he himself didn’t believe what he said.

How could Director Chen believe his nonsense?

He said solemnly, “Cut the crap. Call him and tell him to get here as soon as possible.”

When he lost his temper, he looked horrifying. With all his years of experience, there was something dignified about him. It was obvious that he was a hard nut to crack when he was younger.

“Yes, yes.” Zhou Liang didn’t dare to cover up for Tang Si anymore and took out his cell phone, about to make a call.

“I’m here.” A brisk voice suddenly came from the door and everyone looked towards the door.

Tang Si walked in wearing casual clothes and a pair of Dr. Martin boots and strode towards them vigorously with a smile on his face. He looked at Director Chen. “Director Chen, are you going to treat me to a cup of tea?”

He was standing opposite Director Chen, smiling casually and nonchalantly.

But if you looked at him more closely, you could see the seriousness in his eyes.

Tang Si was a sensible person who knew what to do and when to stop.

A person like him looked careless but was actually diligent enough to grasp your lifeline when you weren’t paying attention.

“Come in with me.” Director Chen’s voice was deep.

Upon hearing that, Tang Si guessed Director Chen must have something important to speak to him about and the smile on his face faded.

It was probably regarding this case.

In the office, Director Chen’s voice was cold and serious.

“Song Yi tried to destroy the evidence and her DNA was discovered in the tissues found from Wu Wang’s house in addition to Wu Wang’s nails. Why didn’t you report it to me? Why didn’t you apply for a detention order to send her to the detention house?”

Director Chen fired off his questions word by word. His questions were sharp and targeted.

“And this woman didn’t have an alibi. She’s a suspected murderer, Tang Si. Why are you so slack with her? What are you thinking? How could you keep her here? What if she tries to attack you?”

Director Chen spoke and slammed the table repeatedly, looking exasperated. “Tang Si, you aren’t young anymore. You should know what to do and what not to, shouldn’t you?”

Director Chen spoke, looking away from Tang Si. He continued in a cold voice, “If you can’t handle this case, I’ll have someone else take care of it.”

“Director Chen, I have my own thoughts about this case,” Tang Si said lightly.

Director Chen raised his gaze at him, only to see Tang Si frowning, holding the edge of the table with one hand and tapping the table gently with the other. “When I took her to Wu Wang’s house, Song Yi’s neck was suddenly injured. It was a remote attack. ”

“But we discovered no one at the scene. I collected some blood from the back of her neck and tested it. It contained a psychedelic substance.”

His tone wasn’t hurried nor slow, and every word he spoke rang clearly in Director Chen’s ears. “Someone’s being framed.”

He meant Song Yi was framed.

He pursed his lips and continued. “We can’t just keep investigating Wu Wang’s social relations. We need to investigate Song Yi’s as well. Therefore, I haven’t announced that she’s a suspect or notified her family.”

“Of course, I’m not one hundred percent sure. It can’t be ruled out that Song Yi was an accomplice.”

Tang Si straightened up as he spoke, staring at Director Chen with his deep black eyes. “I’m taking this case seriously. Please don’t take me wrong.”

“We should look beneath the surface into the heart of the matter.”

Director Chen frowned. As an experienced criminal policeman, he knew what Tang Si said was possible. If someone had tried to frame Song Yi, then they really should investigate Song Yi’s social relations.
