Chapter 25: Arrested

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The guards on the ship were in uniform, and helped the police who had rushed over to maintain order. When the investigation began, everyone remained silent and kept quiet.

In the quiet night, the atmosphere on the ship was very tense and strange. A cold wind blew, and Chi Yaoxi pulled her collar tightly.

The police officers asked each of them seriously and recorded, “Name! Show your ID! Where were you twenty minutes ago? Who can testify?”

A few people directly said that they were attending a gala event inside. A few friends sat together, and the police officer carefully observed their expressions. Finally, he said, “Pass!” and let them go.

At the end of the investigation, Chi Yaoxi and the other four people who had been on the deck at that time were all left behind. They said that they were the suspects of the incident and had to investigate again to confirm.

“The rest of you can move around freely. You guys, come over here!”

Chi Yaoxi was dumbfounded and panicked even more. What was going on? She had indeed stood on the deck for a while before going in to make a call. How did she become a suspect in an accident?

The cruise ship was still sailing. It was difficult to find someone to help. Chi Yaoxi picked up her phone and wanted to call Xiao Ye, but she hadn’t seen him since just now.

This action was immediately ordered to stop by the police, saying that during the investigation of the suspect, no contact with the outside world was allowed.

Although she did not do anything wrong, Chi Yaoxi felt deeply terrified and helpless at this moment.

The few of them were brought to a gloomy small room. After hearing the truth of the matter from the police, Chi Yaoxi was so shocked that her handbag fell to the ground.

It turned out that the person who fell into the water and died was the A-list actress Ye Ruifang!

Chi Yaoxi tried her best to remain calm, but she still felt her hair stand on end. Not long ago, she was still chatting with her on the deck, how could it be…

How could something so tragic happen?

After another round of rigorous screening, the surveillance footage showed that Chi Yaoxi was the last person to have close contact with the deceased, Ye Ruifang. She was highly suspicious.

Chi Yaoxi was still confused and did not understand what was going on. She was treated as a major suspect and taken away by the police directly.

Along the way, Chi Yaoxi remained silent because she knew that since they had already treated her as a major suspect, it meant that they had some evidence. Under such circumstances, it was useless even if she tried to explain. She still had to make a trip to the police station to record her statement and might even be locked up for a few days.

Fortunately, she had read books when she had nothing to do and knew some basic legal knowledge. According to the case procedures that she remembered, she had to be released within 24 hours if they did not find any relevant evidence.

Therefore, she could just stay in the detention center for a day and come out again.

In the chaos, no one saw a sinister smile on Mo Yuzhen’s face as she watched the police take Chi Yaoxi away. It seemed like God was helping her, causing this woman to have a huge accident at this time. Having become a suspect in the case, Chi Yaoxi was basically being splashed with dirt.

This was the best time to take down this b*tch. Although she did not believe that Chi Yaoxi would do such a stupid thing, no matter what the truth was, she had to seize this rare opportunity to fan the flames.

While the other investigators had not completely evacuated, the scene was still in chaos. Almost everyone was standing on the deck in groups of three to five, discussing this unbelievable case. Mo Yuzhen quietly put on her gloves and sneaked into the room Chi Yaoxi was staying in. She made a mess of her room, as if a fight had just happened.

Following that, Mo Yuzhen took out her phone and quickly took a few photos of the room. By posting photos of Chi Yaoxi’s room like this on the Internet, it would cause a bloodbath. Furthermore, she had encountered these matters.

Mo Yuzhen was secretly pleased with her own shrewdness. She scrolled through the photos she had taken with her phone tonight.

The protagonist of the photo always had an unchanging protagonist—Chi Yaoxi.

Ever since she knew that Chi Yaoxi would be coming, she had been paying close attention to Chi Yaoxi’s movements ever since she boarded the cruise.

She realized that Chi Yaoxi, this woman, was really daring. She was very close to a tall and handsome man in a public place. That night, when the meeting was bustling, the two of them even went to the deck alone to date secretly.

She secretly followed them and indeed discovered something fishy. When the man’s hand was intimately wrapped around Chi Yaoxi’s shoulder, she even took the opportunity to capture it. Later on, she found out that Chi Yaoxi and Ye Ruifang were together, and they were even chatting and laughing.

She could tell that this b*tch was trying to get close to the most popular movie star on purpose, probably to attract more attention. She only hated that she was not famous enough and had never worked with a popular movie star before. Even if she rushed to greet them, these celebrities who relied on their abilities to start their career could not be bothered with her at all.

At that time, she was extremely envious and jealous. In order to have a chance to get hold of Chi Yaoxi’s weakness, she took photos of Chi Yaoxi and Ye Ruifang standing together from different angles.

Now, these photos have become the sharpest knife. When she found the media and posted them online, she could write whatever she wanted.

She really did not expect that the photos she had taken unintentionally would become evidence that the suspect, Chi Yaoxi, was with the deceased. The celebrity on the cruise ship had fallen into the water and died. If this piece of news were to spread online with these photos, the consequences would be dire.

This was really a good opportunity given by God! It was an opportunity that would completely destroy Chi Yaoxi. Even gods could not save her.

Without any hesitation, Mo Yuzhen immediately used another unknown number to anonymously send these ‘evidence’ photos, along with the latest news, to various major media outlets.

As for the title, she had already thought of it for the various media outlets—”A-list female star murdered a veteran movie star. Is it for love or profit?”

This heavyweight news was released by the media that night.

When the news came out, it attracted everyone’s attention. Within a few minutes, it was at the top of the search rankings. Various public accounts and marketing accounts were fighting to repost it and expose it.

This also made Chi Yaoxi, who was locked up in the detention center and believed that there was no evidence released within twenty-four hours, become empty thoughts.

Because these rumors and slanders had become ‘evidence’ that could not be ignored.

In the end, the matter became more and more publicized by the media. According to the Criminal Procedure Law, the Public Security Bureau extended Chi Yaoxi’s detainment time to 37 days. They then would arrest her according to the actual investigation, and would either sentence her or release her without charge.
