Chapter 245 Bringing Different Girls Home

"Did I point at you?" Xie Meichen stormed towards Fu Xiaoxiao in her high heels. "Is it any of your business to meddle?"

Jiang Yuan pulled Fu Xiaoxiao behind her and frowned as she looked at her.

Xie Meichen stared at her, her eyes seemingly venomous. "My brother was definitely killed by you. You are the murderer!"

"Stop spouting nonsense!" Fu Xiaoxiao poked her head out, very angry. "Did you even see that? You dare to talk such nonsense. Do you believe I'll sue you for defamation?"

Xie Meichen was furious and suddenly stretched out her hand: "Watch me tear your filthy mouth apart!"

Jiang Yuan intercepted her hand in mid-air and said calmly, "Miss Xie, I understand your grief over losing a loved one, but you can't just slander people like that. Xie Yuchen's death has nothing to do with me."

After saying that, she let go of his hand.

"It has nothing to do with you?" Xie Meichen suddenly raised both hands and pushed her forcefully. "Would you admit to killing someone?"

Seeing this, Xiao Xu quickly stepped forward to stop her, saying, "Ms. Xie, please calm down."

"How can you be so unreasonable? You dare to lay a hand on someone with the police here!" Fu Xiaoxiao quickly helped Jiang Yuan up, her brows furrowed.

"How can I stay calm?" Xie Meichen broke down in tears. "My brother is dead, and the murderer is right in front of me!"

"The truth is still unclear," Xiao Xu said helplessly. "We will not let any bad person go unpunished, nor can we wrong any innocent person. The forensic doctor currently estimates that your brother died at 10 a.m. last night. At that time, Jiang Yuan was still live streaming, so she has an alibi."

"As for the exact cause of your brother's death, we need to wait for the forensic autopsy to determine it."

"An autopsy?" Xie Meichen murmured, crying her heart out, "Is this going to kill my brother without leaving a complete corpse?"

She collapsed, completely powerless. Xiao Xu caught her just in time and explained, "Once the autopsy is finished, the forensic doctor will stitch up the body."

"I absolutely disagree!" Xie Meichen's voice was shrill. "My brother has already suffered so much! I can't let you hurt him any more!"

Xiao Xu: "..."

She sighed inwardly, "Ms. Xie, please reconsider."

"Isn't the murderer already here?" Xie Meichen pointed at Jiang Yuan. "Hurry up and arrest her!"

Xiao Xu: "Ms. Xie, without conclusive evidence to prove that Jiang Yuan is the murderer, we cannot arrest her."

Xie Meichen hurriedly took out her phone and showed her the WeChat chat history. "Young comrade, look at my chat history with my brother. He said Jiang Yuan came to our house and beat him up. She must have beaten him to death!"

Xiao Xu really didn't know how to communicate with her, so he simply stopped talking.

"Look!" Xie Meichen said anxiously.

Xiao Xu wanted to say something, but when he caught sight of Si Heng out of the corner of his eye, he quickly said, "What do you want to say to our captain?"

Xie Meichen's eyes darted around, and when she saw Si Heng, she asked anxiously, "Are you the captain?"

Si Heng nodded: "Who are you?"

"I am Xie Yuchen's older sister, Xie Meichen." Xie Meichen grabbed Si Heng's sleeve with one hand and pointed at Jiang Yuan with the other. "Comrade, this woman is the murderer who killed my brother. Quickly, handcuff her and arrest her!"

Si Hengmo frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "If it weren't for Jiang Yuan, your brother's body might have rotted away without anyone noticing."

Xie Meichen frowned. "What...what do you mean?"

Si Heng: "Your younger brother, Xie Yuchen, owes money and refuses to pay it back. Today, Jiang Yuan asked us to accompany her to find your brother and persuade him to repay the three million yuan debt in time. We found the body together, and the specific cause of death is yet to be determined."

"Nonsense!" Xie Meichen exclaimed, her voice trembling with excitement. "How could my brother possibly owe her three million? That's impossible!"

Jiang Yuan sighed softly to herself, knowing there was no chance of getting those three million back.

But how could Xie Yuchen have died so inexplicably?
As Jiang Yuan was thinking, she suddenly heard someone calling her name.

"Xiao Yuan?" She pulled herself together and looked up at the source of the voice. "Grandma Fu."

Grandma Fu walked to her side, her aged face filled with worry. "Xiao Zhou said she saw you just now, and I told her she was mistaken. What are you doing here?"

Before Jiang Yuan could speak, Xie Meichen shouted, "She came here to kill someone! She's the murderer who killed my brother!"

"Ms. Xie, considering your grief over losing a loved one, I'll let it go for now." If Xie Meichen had dared to speak like this at any other time, Jiang Yuan certainly wouldn't have let it go so easily.

She took Old Mrs. Fu's arm and walked towards her house, calling softly, "Xiaoxiao."

Fu Xiaoxiao immediately understood and followed.

"Comrade, she's trying to escape! Arrest her quickly!" Xie Meichen urged.

Si Heng frowned and tried to speak gently: "Ms. Xie, your brother's body is already on the hearse. Please come with us to the police station to make a statement."

"I want to see my brother!" Xie Meichen's eyes reddened again. "He's my only brother..."

Jiang Yuan and Fu Xiaoxiao entered Grandma Fu's house, and Nini immediately came up to them, tugging at her trouser leg and saying, "Yuan Yuan, you're here! I'm so happy to see you again so soon."

"Nini." Jiang Yuan bent down and scooped it into her arms, gently stroking its back. "Did you miss me?"

Nini nodded vigorously: "Yes! I really want to!"

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "So good."

Seeing how relaxed she was, Old Mrs. Fu's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, eased a little. "Xiao Yuan, I heard that someone on this floor passed away, is that right?"

“Yes.” Jiang Yuan nodded. “They are residents of 1903.”

"1903?" Old Mrs. Fu thought carefully, then frowned and asked, "Was it a young man?"

"Do you know Grandma Fu?"

“I’ve seen him in the elevator a few times, and each time he brought a different girl home.”

"And recently?"

"Recently... not at all." Old Mrs. Fu shook her head.

Jiang Yuan raised her hand and gently patted her shoulder, "The case is still under investigation, so try to stay home as much as possible these next few days."

Grandma Fu nodded: "I understand."

"Nini, you should spend more time with Grandma." Jiang Yuan rubbed the little one's head and handed it to Grandma Fu. "Grandma Fu, I have something to do, so I'll be going now."

"Okay." Grandma Fu added with concern, "Be careful."

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry."

Fu Xiaoxiao also greeted them and returned to the outer passage with Jiang Yuan.

Xie Meichen was taken back to the police station to give a statement, and the on-site investigation was completed. Chen Ziqi and Xiao Xu were told to stay here and wait for them.

Seeing the two of them come out, Xiao Xu stepped forward and whispered, "Jiang Yuan, the boss wants you to go in and look for clues."

Seeing the gloves offered to her, Jiang Yuan hesitated before taking them, asking, "Should I avoid any appearance of impropriety?"

Xiao Xu paused for a few seconds, then turned to look at Chen Ziqi, who said, "Don't you have an alibi?"

"I understand." Jiang Yuan took the gloves.

Xiao Xu pulled back the police tape and entered Xie Yuchen's house with her.
