Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Initially, some parents felt that it was troublesome, but after hearing this, they agreed. They did not want their children to be hurt in the future.
Since all the parents agreed, Parent C took out her phone and called the police.
Chang Li grabbed her mother’s arm in fear. Zhang Juan patted her and whispered, “It’s useless even if the police come.”
The people outside were waiting for the competition to start, but they did not expect to see so many police officers coming in. They went straight backstage and asked, “May I ask which lady called the police?”
Parent C stood up and said, “It’s me. We have an incident of intentional harm here, so I chose to call the police.”
She explained the matter to the police station very clearly. There was no mention of her guess about Zhang Juan, only that they had lost their earrings and burned Ji Xing.
As soon as she finished speaking, they saw Ji Xing return from outside. The police officer guarding the backstage door stopped him. He quickly pointed at Yunbao and said, “l came with my student. I had something to do just now, so
I went out.”
Only then did the police let him in. Ji Xing quickly pulled Yunbao into his arms and asked, “What happened?”
Yunbao simplified what had happened and told him. Ji Xing instantly understood that it was Zhang Juan and her daughter who had done it. He had participated in the competition from a small place to his current position. He had seen thousands of methods to harm people. From what had happened just now, he could deduce who the murderer was.
He hugged Yunbao tightly in fear. If Yunbao had not stopped and opened the suitcase just now, she would definitely have been injured now.
Ji Xing blamed himself for being careless. He had not participated in the competition for so many years and had forgotten that such a thing would happen. He actually left Yunbao backstage alone.
Yunbao could feel the teacher’s self-blame. She patted her shoulder and said, “Teacher is not to blame. My Auntie said that if someone wants to harm you, you can never guard against it.”
Ji Xing did not expect to be comforted by a child one day. He smiled and said,
“Yunbao is really a good child.”
After the police collected evidence from the scene, they began to ask questions one by one, but none of the parents could say anything useful. The police locked onto Zhang Juan as a suspect.
However, when the police walked over, her attitude was very arrogant. “That woman told you everything just now. I have nothing else to say.”
“Ma’am, according to the rules, you have to answer our questions.” The police officer who asked the question was a young man who was a little afraid of this attitude.
The old policeman heard the commotion and walked over. “Madam, you’d better cooperate with us quickly. Otherwise, I’m afraid this competition won’t
start. ”
Upon hearing that the competition was to be postponed, Zhang Juan immediately stopped being stubborn. She answered whatever the police asked.
The young policeman was stunned. After leaving, he asked, “You can just say that?”
“Remember, when you meet such people, threaten them with what they care about the most. It’s definitely useful,” the old policeman said.
Zhang Juan thought that nothing would go wrong, but the police pulled out
the camera on the stage and compared it to the parents waiting behind the scenes. Only Zhang Juan was not around.
This way, she would be suspected of committing a crime. The police officer asked, “Madam Zhang, where were you at that time?”
Zhang Juan pretended to be calm and said, “l went to the toilet at that time.”
“But you’re not in the surveillance cameras in the toilet corridor,” the police officer said.
Zhang Juan raised her head and said, “I despise the toilets here for being unclean and went outside to use them. Do you have to interfere?”
“Then where did you go to use the toilet?” the police officer continued to ask.
Zhang Juan was impatient from the questions. She stood up and said, “1 want to call your chief!”
With that, she made a call and said, “Chief Yang, your subordinates are too blind. Since you can’t find the thief, go back and slowly investigate. Can you afford to compensate for delaying my daughter’s piano competition?”
The chief on the other end of the line agreed submissively. Then, he called the leading police officer and said, “Do you know who you’re questioning? Get back here! ”
The police could only be forced to end it and prepare to leave. At this moment,
Yunbao said, “No one is allowed to leave. I’m the one who was almost hurt. You have to give me an explanation!”
The police chief heard this voice on the phone and said, “Who’s talking?” Gu Yun asked Ji Xing to put her down and ran over. “I’m the victim of this.”
“The police will follow up on this matter later. Children shouldn’t interrupt casually.” The police chief didn’t take a child seriously..
