At that time, Luo Xin spent an entire month’s salary on buying the bottle, but when she saw Zhou Xiaorou’s health had declined after continuous consumption, she felt it was worth every penny.
Originally, Zhou Xiaorou was like a princess, carefree, well-dressed, and well-loved by everyone. But after taking the concoction, Zhou Xiaorou would run amok and twitch occasionally.
As for Li Yan, he had hooked up with Luo Xin a long time ago. The moment she bought the medicine, she told him about it. She even asked him if he wanted to use it for himself, but Li Yan firmly told her to give it to Zhou Xiaorou. It was only that Luo Xin made up her mind.
Normally, Li Yan also tempered with the medicine that Zhou Xiaorou took. As a result, her health showed no improvement, and her illness only worsened.
While Zhou Xiaorou’s body was weak, Li Yan was very concerned about her. In his opinion, as long as he endured this period, everything that belonged to the Zhou family would be his after Zhou Xiaorou died.
Luo Xin explained the entire process, but Li Yan was very resistant. “I’ve already said that this has nothing to do with me,” he barked fiercely. “The one who wanted to harm Xiaorou was Luo Xin. At most, I only knew about this. The one who really wanted to harm her was Luo Xin. It has nothing to do with me.”
The police officer knocked on the table and said to Li Yan, “This video records your conversation with Luo Xin. You clearly knew that she had poisoned Zhou Xiaorou’s food, but not only did you not stop her, but you even approved of her actions. Even if you are not the main culprit, you are an accomplice.
“In short, this matter is indeed related to you. If you tell us honestly, you might be able to plead for a lenient sentence.”
Li Yan initially resisted, but when the police officer showed him the contents of the video, he knew that the police weren’t lying. They really had evidence.
In the end, Li Yan admitted to it but firmly refused to admit that he was the main culprit. He only said that he did not stop Luo Xin’s actions.
The interrogation of Zhou Tian and Xia Wan also ended half an hour later. When Xia Wan came out, she saw Zhou Xiaorou sitting on a chair in the police station, crying. Zhou Xiaorou’s daughter was snuggling in her arms, looking at her mother at a loss.
Xia Wan walked over and sat beside Zhou Xiaorou.
“Sis Xiaorou, don’t be too upset. Mr. Zhou and I have been guessing that someone close to you harmed you, but we haven’t been able to obtain any evidence. We were afraid that you would give yourself away if we told you in advance, so we have been hiding it from you.
“Sister Xiaorou, you won’t blame us, right? ‘
Zhou Xiaorou wiped her tears and shook her head. “I know you guys did this for my own good. It’s all because I’m too stupid. It turns out that the two people I trusted most couldn’t wait for me to die. But Xia Wan, what did I do wrong?
Should I have treated him badly? Or was it my fault for being too good to him?” Xia Wan consoled her, “Sister Xiaorou, you’re not to blame. They don’t deserve the good that you have.”
Under Xia Wan’s comfort, Zhou Xiaorou slowly recovered.
The three of them went home together after Zhou Tian was done with his questioning.
Just as they were about to part, Zhou Tian seemed to have remembered something. He said to Xia Wan, “You just said that you’re planning to rent a house today, right? I happen to have an empty house here. I’ve heard about your family’s situation. It’s a two-story building with a total of six rooms. It’s enough for you to live in. There are bathrooms on both floors. Do you want me to show you?”
Xia Wan was overjoyed when she heard that. Xia Hai was currently in the hospital, and Yan Han took care of him daily. They planned to find a place to stay for the night. They would stay in a hotel for the night if they couldn’t find one. They didn’t expect Zhou Tian to have a place there.
Xia Wan nodded. “Mr. Zhou, that would be the best since you have a house here. If you’re not busy, can you take me there to take a look?”
Zhou Tian did not have any objections to this. Zhou Xiaorou, on the other hand, said she was a little tired and wanted to go home to rest. Zhou Tian did not force her.
Zhou Tian knew that Zhou Xiaorou needed some time alone. The two men had already been sent to the police station, and no one would hurt her anymore, and this made Zhou Tian a lot more relieved..
