Chapter 154 – Who Killed Her (3)

“What makes you think that I killed Shen Wei’an?”

Lan Xin laughed until she cried, and used a napkin to wipe the corner of her eyes. She then looked at Lan Jinyao and added, “What were you thinking? I don’t like Shen Wei’an, but why would I dirty my hands for her? I’m a good citizen.”

Upon seeing her reaction, Lan Jinyao was relatively certain that Lan Xin wasn’t lying to her at this moment.

“Yeah, at the time I was filming a fighting scene, and Shen Wei’an secretly threw stones at me, affecting Xu Hao’s performance, who was acting as the male lead. Xu Hao’s sword was supposed to be a prop prepared by the crew. However, the prop was replaced with a real sword, and I was injured at the time; I even went to the hospital afterwards.”

“If that’s the case, then Shen Wei’an would’ve been convicted of intended homicide. Did you report her to the police back then?”

Lan Jinyao thought about it before answering, “At that time, I had gotten hold of the evidence and wanted to report her to the police. However, Shen Wei’an fled before I could do so, and even the crew didn’t know where she went. Another actress was switched in for her role last minute, to finish filming the last part of the drama.”

“She ran away at that time? Then, how did she die in the western suburbs?” asked the police officer in a low muffled voice, seemingly questioning Lan Jinyao while also talking to himself.

“If I may ask, do you still have anything else to ask me about? I haven’t been feeling well lately, so I need to sleep more often.” When Lan Jinyao said this, she looked at them with a slightly apologetic smile.

The police officers stood up and said, “We’ve already finished asking all our questions. If there is any progress in the case, we may need your cooperation again when the time comes.”

Lan Jinyao also stood up and hurriedly said, “If needed, I’ll certainly cooperate with your investigation.”

After Lan Jinyao sent the police officers off, she closed the door and leaned against it, listening to the movements outside.

“Her morning sickness looks very severe, so it shouldn’t be possible for her to kill and dump the body.”

“Besides, from our findings, it could be seen that she clearly had an alibi. Looks like we still need to carry on with our investigation.”

“That’s it for now, let’s go back first!”

After their voices gradually trailed off, Lan Jinyao returned to her bedroom. She was quite tired, so she lay down to rest for a bit.

Lan Jinyao, who was lying in bed with her eyes closed, couldn’t fall asleep even after a long time had passed. Her thoughts wandered and played back the scene of the day that they’d gone to check on Shen Wei’an’s body in the morgue. She was lying there motionless, her appearance extremely frightening. Lan Jinyao then recalled the moment of her own death; her appearance then must’ve been worse than Shen Wei’an’s!
