Police’s Interrogation

“Wanwan, please forgive me.”

After waiting for a few minutes, Wanwan stood on a small stool and opened the door from the inside.

Holding her bunny doll, she peeked half of her face through the crack, looking at Xia Zhihuai kneeling at the doorstep.

In that instant when their eyes met, Xia Zhihuai put on a pitiful expression.

“Wanwan, dear Wanwan, please save your brother.”

“Whose word does this family count?”

Wanwan returned his previous words to him.

Xia Zhihuai could only burst into tears, realizing how difficult his little sister had it.

“Your words,” Xia Zhihuai covered his face and said.

Why did he dare to act so arrogantly just now?

Who gave him the courage?

Wanwan opened the bedroom door and walked out, holding her stuffed bunny. “I forgive you. From now on, this family will listen to me, okay?”

Xia Zhihuai sat on the floor, embraced her, pinched her soft cheeks, and asked with frustration, “Don’t you have any consideration for my dignity?”

“Is dignity more important or dealing with ghosts more important?” Xia Zhihuai: “…Dignity is not important.”

Being hit right on the sore spot, Xia Zhihuai immediately knelt down without hesitation!

…

Xia Zhihuai had intended to ask Wanwan to help him resolve his issues as soon as possible, but before he could inquire, the police responsible for investigating the Chen Wan accidental death case had already arrived at his door.

Xia Zhihuai got up to open the door and looked at the two policemen outside. They showed their identification, and Xia Zhihuai stepped aside to let them in.

Wanwan, like a little tail, ran to the door while holding her doll.

The two policemen were momentarily stunned when they saw the child and casually asked, “Is she your child?”

Xia Zhihuai was speechless: “…”

Wanwan tilted her head and stared blankly: “…”

Xia Zhihuai closed the door and explained, “She’s my sister. I’m only twenty years old.”

“Oh, sorry.”

Both policemen felt a bit embarrassed and immediately apologized.

The two policemen curiously looked at Wanwan. The little girl was incredibly cute, and they instinctively wanted to pat their pockets to find candy.

But soon, they realized they were wearing police uniforms and didn’t have any candy with them.

Wanwan looked at their clothes and knew their identities.

She had a good impression of police officers because when she decided to run away from her bad relatives’ house, she went straight to the police station. It was the police officers there who helped her find her brother. Otherwise, she might have been sent back to the bad people’s house, and she might not have had another chance to escape.

“Hello, uncles.” Wanwan hugged her bunny and observed for a few seconds before politely greeting them.

“Hello, little one.” The two policemen didn’t pay much attention to Xia Zhihuai, but instead found Wanwan somewhat reserved.

“Please come in.” Xia Zhihuai lifted Wanwan from the ground and patted her head. “Go back to the bedroom and quickly put on your slippers.”

Wanwan was only wearing socks, and she had left her shoes at the entrance when she came back.

Xia Zhihuai had been preoccupied with the news of Chen Wan’s death and hadn’t noticed her running around barefoot. Now, seeing that the little slippers weren’t in the shoe cabinet at the entrance, he knew they must be in her room, brought back by Xu Wei in the morning.

Wanwan kicked her legs, and Xia Zhihuai put her down.

“You were given slippers by Xu Wei this morning. Go put them on. You can’t walk around the house barefoot.”

“But Brother, you’re only wearing socks too!”

Wanwan, dissatisfied, looked at his big feet and then pointed at the slippers at the entrance.

Xia Zhihuai: “…”

“…I’ll wear them too. Hurry up and put them on.”

Xia Zhihuai changed into slippers, and Wanwan had no more excuses, so she could only run back to put on her slippers.

…

Taking two bottles of mineral water from the refrigerator and placing them on the table, Xia Zhihuai sat on the single sofa, feeling completely calm.

“If you have any questions, please ask.”

“Thank you for cooperating with our investigation.”

Xia Zhihuai politely smiled, “It’s my pleasure.”

“Did you know Chen Wan before?”

“Yes, I know her.”

Xia Zhihuai nodded, crossing his hands and placing them on his knees with a somewhat regretful expression.

“It seems you already know about Chen Wan’s death,” he was not denied by Xia Zhihuai.

“My manager just informed me,” he replied, carefully considering his answer.

“How was your relationship with Chen Wan?” Xia Zhihuai remained silent for a few seconds, contemplating his response. “We knew each other, but we weren’t very close.”

“I only know that she was Xiao Ting’s exclusive stunt double for almost three years.” “When Chen Wan fell from the filming location, where were you?”

Xia Zhihuai solemnly replied, “I was on set, shooting a scene at that time.”

“You witnessed her falling from the rooftop, the wire suddenly snapping?”

The scene from the filming suddenly flashed in Xia Zhihuai’s mind, and he tightly pursed his lips.

The two policemen across from him were very perceptive, almost immediately sensing his unease.

“Do you know something?” One of the policemen asked in a gentle tone.

Suddenly, Wanwan ran out of the bedroom, sensing the serious atmosphere in the living room. She quietly took the bottle from the table and held it in her arms, squeezing herself between Xia Zhihuai’s legs. With her round and bright eyes, she curiously observed them, not bothering to hide her eavesdropping.

“Wanwan, why don’t you go back to the bedroom first?”

Wanwan shook her head, “I want to listen.”

“Brother just said that this is my house. You please continue,” Xia Zhihuai said.

One of the policemen hesitated, glancing at his colleague, unsure if they should continue questioning in front of the child.

However, it was evident that Xia Zhihuai knew something important.

He wasn’t worried about scaring Wanwan.

The little girl wasn’t afraid of ghosts, and she could even let him see the unfortunate ghost behind him, which meant…

There were indeed certain things in this world that couldn’t be explained by science.

…

“Let’s continue,” Xia Zhihuai held Wanwan and lowered his gaze, his brows slightly furrowed.

“When Chen Wan fell from the rooftop, we were shooting a scene, and many people from the crew were present.”

“The wire rigging used by the crew was always thoroughly checked before each use, precisely to prevent accidents during filming.”

“Chen Wan was pulled up to the rooftop by the wire rigging. I was supposed to follow her, but she had just landed and hadn’t stabilized herself yet when the wire rigging on her waist suddenly snapped, causing her to fall directly from the rooftop.”

“I was a bit stunned at that moment because I saw a dark figure appear behind her. It was only for a moment, but that figure reached out and slashed the wire rigging, causing it to break.”

“However, I asked the crew members afterward, and they all said they didn’t see anything else on the rooftop except for Chen Wan. So, after I returned, I wondered if I had just imagined it.”

One of the policemen held a pen but didn’t continue writing.

“Are you suggesting you saw a ghost?” Xia Zhihuai pressed his lips together, holding Wanwan tightly in his arms, not answering the question.

As an actor, he was sensitive to the emotions of others.

Clearly, the police officer didn’t believe in his words.
