Chapter 222: Chapter 222 - A Big Blunder
Yu You smiled . She wasn’t gorgeous by any means, but she looked smart .
“Aren’t you going to bandage it?” Yun Xiangxiang noticed Yu You starting to stow the things away after she applied the salve .
“It will heal faster if you don’t bandage it,” Yu You explained . “Don’t worry, it won’t get infected . I’ll reapply it once every five hours . ”
“I’ll be in your care then,” Yun Xiangxiang felt embarrassed .
“Don’t worry about it . Taking care of you is my job now,” Yu You smiled .
Yun Xiangxiang didn’t know what she should say . They were not close after all . Yu You did her own thing . After tidying her things away, she asked Yun Xiangxiang, “Can you bring me to the place where it happened?”
Yun Xiangxiang nodded . He Wei told the public that the falling glass was an accident . He didn’t tell them about the bomb . It was his decisive ploy to see who would hand or make the bomb fall into the demolitionist’s hand .
As there was insufficient evidence, they did not call the cops . Even the guess about someone causing an accident because they slipped when they moved things was just a guess . Nobody saw anyone up there back then . Even Ai Li only saw the silhouette of half a head . She couldn’t see the person clearly, as she was blocked by the glass panel .
But the crew had cordoned off the house where the glass fell from . The staff were also keeping an eye on it .
He Wei wanted to strike fear into the perpetrator’s heart, causing them to reveal themselves .
Yun Xiangxiang and Yu You entered the room easily . The whole building was reserved for their filming . Since the house’s interior was not in use, nobody would decorate it . That was why not many things were in there .
One glance was enough to take in all the decor . Yun Xiangxiang followed Yu You around . Yu You looked around for five minutes before going downstairs to stand where Yun Xiangxiang stood when the glass fell . She then went to where Ai Li stood .
As Ai Li was taller than her, she placed a brick and stood on it . Yun Xiangxiang knew she was trying to determine the perpetrator’s height through this .
The perpetrator needed to keep their exposure to a minimum, yet they needed to be sure they could hit Yun Xiangxiang . Knowing that, Yu You could deduce roughly where the perpetrator stood . If she looked through Ai Li’s perspective, she could know their height and distance .
“Something’s not right,” after Yu You was done, she knew something was different from her assumption .
Yun Xiangxiang was baffled . She was horrible at deduction .
“Xiangxiang, can you get some people for me to recreate the crime scene?” Yu You requested from Yun Xiangxiang .
“”I’ll call Brother Wei . ” Only Brother Wei can call the shots for this .
He Wei was an efficient man . He also trusted Yun Xiangxiang . The producer had some complaints, but He Wei overruled them .
As their injuries were minor, Du Changrong and Yi Yan came back to cooperate too .
“Hold on . Director Du, you’re saying that you were standing right here, and the glass fell after you turned around, right?” Yu You grasped the key to the case .
“Yeah, I showed some movements because I was explaining a scene for them,” Du Changrong nodded .
Yun Xiangxiang and Yi Yan attested to that statement . It looked like that back then .
“Mr . He, I think you’re taking the wrong way in this case . Xiangxiang wasn’t the target of the attack . Director Du was . ”
Yu You looked at He Wei . She pointed at the window . “The perpetrator has to stand there to stay hidden and confirm the target was beneath the glass . Director Du’s position was confirmed before he turned around . When they retreated to push the steel pipes, they didn’t know Director Du had changed places . Of course, that meant Xiangxiang did change her place too . ”
Yu You drew where the trio stood at first, as well as where the glass fell . When done, they were certain the target was Du Changrong .
If Yun Xiangxiang and Yi Yan were faster, they could have dodged it .
Yun Xiangxiang looked shocked . Am I not blessed by the goddess of luck?
No wonder they couldn’t find the suspect after investigating for so long . They made a huge blunder .
“Me?” Du Changrong didn’t expect him to be the target . “Who would want to kill me?”
“I’m sorry . This isn’t in my job scope,” Yu You answered politely .
She was only responsible for serving Yun Xiangxiang . If the target was not her, she did not see the need to waste her time further .
“Thank you, Miss Yu,” He Wei was still grateful . After all, with Yu You’s arrival, within a day, they knew who the actual target was . He trusted their investigation would be quick if he traced it back from Du Changrong .
“Director Du, you have to treat me to a meal,” Yun Xiangxiang requested .
“Of course, of course,” cold sweat poured from Du Changrong .
Ai Li was only responsible for Yun Xiangxiang . If it weren’t for him moving back, he would have been dead by now . He didn’t have an agile bodyguard like she did .
“We were all collateral damage,” Yun Xiangxiang immediately visited Ai Li and told her about the blunder .
“I’m just glad you’re not who they’re after,” Ai Li was worried about Yun Xiangxiang, as she couldn’t protect her now .
“Get well soon . I need you to protect me,” Yun Xiangxiang was getting closer with Ai Li .
“I’ll be discharged in two days,” she had a few stitches for her wound and could only be discharged after the stage of susceptibility is over .
The crew stopped filming for a while . As both incidents were not after her, Yun Xiangxiang didn’t get involved . She applied for leave to take care of Ai Li in the hospital .
He Wei was busy investigating and making things clearer . He didn’t have time to care for Yun Xiangxiang, so he let her do what she wanted: stay at the hospital to care for Ai Li .
On the second day of Yun Xiangxiang’s stay at the hospital, the news headline read: He Xingzhou is acquitted of his charges .
Song Meng sent it to her ASAP . It was the thirty-seventh day of He Xingzhou’s detention . He was finally proven innocent .
This was a big case . Too many people followed it . Too many people wanted to know the truth, but the Ministry of Justice did not release any reports .
You Jie was arrested though . Rumors said You Jie backstabbed He Xingzhou . After all, only those close to him knew He Xingzhou’s account number . You Jie used to be close to He Xingzhou .
One was arrested, one released . Netizens started their clue-finding trip . Hindsight is twenty-twenty, after all .
Yun Xiangxiang didn’t believe any of the comments . He Xingzhou was unusually quiet after he was released . There wasn’t even a post about it .
On the next day, He Xingzhou called her alone . He sounded depressed, “Thank you, Xiangxiang . ”
“For what?” Yun Xiangxiang was puzzled .
“Someone told me I should thank you for getting my name cleared in such a short time,” there was finally a hint of a smile in He Xingzhou’s voice .
“I didn’t do anything . I’m glad you got out in one piece,” Yun Xiangxiang didn’t dare accept his gratitude . But when she thought of You Jie, she asked after a pause, “Can you…tell me the whole story?”
