Chapter 366: Trying to Hide It Makes It More Conspicuous
When faced with Shi Nuannuan’s question, one of the men replied, “If this young lady is indeed Zuo Weiyi, then the charges are right.”
What surprised them a little was the fact that the accused was actually a patient? Was it simply because this young lady had gotten into a fight with Miss Tengtang Xi?
“I did not deliberately try to murder anyone,” Zuo Weiyi replied from the hospital bed.
“But someone is indeed pressing charges against you for intentional murder and manslaughter.”
“Who is pressing charges?” Shi Nuannuan asked angrily.
“Minister Tengtang Li and his granddaughter.”
Shi Nuannuan and Shen Lanzhi were both surprised when they heard this!
Zuo Weiyi instantly understood what was going on.
Tengtang Xi was actually using her legitimate defense to accuse her of manslaughter? Trying to hide her wrongdoing made it even more conspicuous!
When she heard the officer’s words, Shi Nuannuan quickly turned around to look at her brother and Zuo Weiyi before she asked, “What happened here?”
Didn’t Tengtang Xi just leave her house earlier this morning? Why was she accusing Zuo Weiyi of murder in a blink of an eye?
This was not right.
Shi Nuannuan could not help but look at the fingerprints on Zuo Weiyi’s neck. Did it mean that the ‘mad dog’ that Zuo Weiyi had mentioned earlier was none other than Tengtang Xi? Did she come all the way here to cause trouble for Zuo Weiyi?
Damn it!
“Is that so? Then, I am going to charge Tengtang Xi for attempting to murder my wife!” Shi Yuting who has not spoken at all suddenly spoke up.
As soon as he said that, everyone in the ward was stunned!
After that, one of the officers regained his composure and he looked at Shi Yuting before he asked, “You what?”
What kind of case were they investigating now?
Mr. Shi’s wife? When did Mr. Shi get married?
No. Based on their understanding, Miss Tengtang Xi was Shi Yuting’s fiancée. What did he mean when he said that he wanted to charge Tengtang Xi for the attempted murder of his wife? Wasn’t his wife none other than Miss Tengtang Xi herself?
As he thought about this, the officer could not help but feel a little confused. He could not understand the situation!
Shen Lanzhi and Shi Nuannuan were also very confused when they heard Shi Yuting’s words. They could not understand what Shi Yuting meant by the term, ‘wife’.
“That’s right.” Shi Yuting had a cold expression on his face as he glared at the officer who was standing in front of him.
The officer seemed confused as he asked, “Are you referring to Miss Tengtang Xi when you said ‘wife’?”
Shi Yuting smiled slightly before he replied, “No. My wife’s name is Zuo Weiyi.”
The prosecutor was stunned when he heard Shi Yuting’s reply.
Zuo Weiyi? Wasn’t this the woman that Tengtang Xi wanted to sue? She was… Shi Yuting’s wife?
This…
The officers were all caught in a dilemma at this time.
Just then, one of the officers glanced at the pool of blood on the ground before he frowned slightly.
As members of Supreme People’s Procuratorate, they had to clearly distinguish between public and personal affairs.
Even if this young lady was really Shi Yuting’s wife, they would have to take her back to the station for further investigation.
“Why? Aren’t you going to take my request for a charge against Tengtang Xi seriously?” Shi Yuting smiled confidently as he looked at the officer who was standing in front of him.
“Uhm… it’s not that. We will naturally accept your request to charge Miss Tengtang Xi. However, since Miss Tengtang Xi is injured and since she is the plaintiff… that means that we still have to take Miss Zuo back with us to assist us with the investigation.”
“Does it mean that nobody needs to be taken away if they are injured?”
“Uhm…” The prosecutor was speechless.
“Since that is the case, then you will have to wait for my wife to get well and fully recover before we assist you in your investigation then.”
