112: Turned Murderer (4)

Turned Murderer (4)

Her mobile phone was locked in the safe and she could not contact anyone.2

Minutes and seconds passed by. Locked in the windowless detention room, she could not tell day from night and what time it was.

When noon came, someone brought her lunch and it was only then she knew it was noon.

Looking at the bland food, she had no appetite. 

Aunty Yu knew she was here. She would inform Shi Yuting, wouldn't she?

Would he come to rescue her?

After some time, Zuo Weiyi felt her legs go numb so, she stood up helplessly. She tried to find another position to sit as she leaned against the wall.

By then, someone had brought food again. 

This should be dinner then?

It had been a day. How long did she have to stay here?

One whole day had passed and Zuo Weiyin had not taken any food or water.

The next morning, someone came to the detention room. 

Zuo Weiyi stood up quickly. She thought she would be freed now!

However, the news the policeman brought was out of her expectation. 

After investigation, the wound on the back of her hand and the blood in the nails of the victim were a perfect match. Worse still, she couldn't find an alibi to support her claims thus, she had a motive to kill!

"No, you've got it wrong, I didn't kill anyone!"

Convicted of the murder, Zuo Weiyi was terrified.

She did not kill anyone, why did she end up here?

"Miss Zuo, we only believe in evidence." The policeman shoved a document to her. "Please sign here."

Staring at the document, Zuo Weiyi shook her head in disbelief. "No, I won't sign it. I did not kill anyone. How could you do this to me?"

She firmly refused to sign. The two policemen were helpless. After discussion, Zuo Weiyi was brought into the detention room once again.

At the same time, at Shi Mansion, Aunty Yu was extremely anxious and did not know what to do!

It had been an entire day, why was she not out yet?

She had tried calling Shi Yuting many times and this was her 101st attempt but the call still could not get through. Feeling helpless, she dialed Shi Nuannuan's number but it did not get through either.

Two days had passed. Aunty Yu had no choice but to go to the police station personally. She wanted to bail Zuo Weiyi out but when she arrived at the police station, the policeman informed her that Zuo Weiyin had been convicted of murder and could not be bailed. 

She was told that tomorrow morning, Zuo Weiyi would be moved to the First Prison!

What could she do?

When she was back at Shi Mansion, Aunty Yu tried calling Shi Yuting again. She thought she would just give it another shot, hoping he would answer her call. 

Just then, the phone in the living hall rang!

She raised her head and dashed toward the side table and picked up the call. "Hello?"

 "What's wrong?"

Shi Yuting's deep and magnetic voice asked.

He had left Country Z for five days and he had missed Zuo Weiyi. He took the opportunity to call Shi Mansion during his five-minute toilet break.

When he switched on his phone, he saw more than a hundred missed calls. One was from Zuo Weiyi and the other 101 were all from Shi Mansion. 

Looking at the missed calls, Shi Yuting frowned. It must be something urgent or Aunty Yu would have not called him so many times.

With a slight frown, he dialed Zuo Weiyi's number but could not get through. So, he called the Shi Mansion's number. 

When the call got through, he heard Aunty Yu's anxious voice. "Young Master, Miss Zuo is in trouble!"
