Chapter 1043: Another Recording
Han Xue smiled bitterly. She didn’t know how she should answer this question. She thought for a moment before she decided to go with an answer that wasn’t completely a lie, “He is my ex-lover.”
She answered calmly but she didn’t realize that Ye Hao’s eyes suddenly turned completely red when he heard her answer in an office.
The police officer continued to probe, “Does that mean that you had an affair with your brother-in-law?”
Han Xue nodded and did not deny the police officer’s statement.
She was in such a dire predicament that there was no use in her denying this fact. If she continued to deny her relationship with Ye Yi, she would have to pay the price for his crime and be locked up in jail.
“Do you know where Wang Lan’s body is? If she has indeed been murdered, that is,” the police officer asked.
Han Xue’s face turned even whiter at the mention of the word ‘body’ and her fingers shook subconsciously.
She paused for a long while before she finally answered, “I don’t know since Ye Yi did not tell me.”
Han Xue knew that there was nothing left of Wang Lan and thus, the police would never be able to find her body, so she could answer this question calmly.
The police officer said, “Han Xue, I’m recording this conversation, so you should weigh the consequences carefully. If you continue lying, this would not help you reduce your sentence.”
Han Xue looked down and did not respond. She knew that she could not escape the eyes of the law this time and would probably be sentenced to jail. She also knew that she would lose her status as Mrs. Ye because she guessed that Ye Hao would probably file for divorce again and this time, the courts would grant his request.
She suddenly had an urge to laugh. She had spent such a long time plotting but ultimately, it all came to naught.
The police officer finally rose to his feet and said, “Very well, Han Xue, you may go and have some food and drinks.”
Han Xue walked out of the interrogation room and she seemed completely drained. She walked very slowly and the handcuffs around her wrist felt very heavy. It had already left a deep mark around her wrist.
At the same time, an important piece of evidence was delivered to Inspector Liu’s office.
This piece of evidence had been sent by Qin Xiaoyu from the castle. She had found this piece of evidence while cleaning out Wang Lan’s room with another maid. It was a recording device that was as large as finger and they noticed that this device was taped to the floorboards under the bed. Wang Lan had even ensured that it was waterproof. It was so tiny that it was only discovered because they had changed her bed. They found it strange that Wang Lan had chosen to tape this item to the floorboards under her bed and figured out that this could be related to her disappearance, so they listened to the recording. The moment she heard the contents of the recording, Qin Xiaoyu was completely shocked.
She didn’t realize how terrifying Han Xue was.
Inspector Liu immediately played the contents of the recording after he obtained the recording device and Ye Hao stood by his side as they listened to it together.
Soon, they heard the conversation recorded in the recording device.
It was a recording of a conversation between two women but their voices weren’t clear, as though it had been recorded from a distant location.
“Mom, I told you that Xiao Yu is Ye Yi’s son. Ye Hao was drunk that night but he did not touch me at all, so there was no way for me to fall pregnant.”
“Alright, it doesn’t matter whose child he is. Stop fretting so much. Xiao Xue… Ye Snr. had already undergone a paternity test with this child and the results showed that Xiao Yu was indeed his grandson. Moreover, he does look a little like Ye Hao so Ye Hao would never suspect a thing. Stop worrying over this and getting so jumpy over this matter.”
