Chapter 40: Chapter 37 No Evidence, Fleeing the Country (Double Update)_3

Huo Xun continued to ask all the other questions, which were the same ones from the previous investigation.

Chen Huanqing’s responses were flawless, after all, he had already been through this once before.

In the process of handling criminal cases, there’s a principle, namely the presumption of innocence.

Without concrete evidence, no matter how many coincidences there might be, it’s impossible to convict a suspect; now, they found themselves in this awkward predicament.

From a motive for murder, both the police and the public felt the two were related to the deaths of Xia Mingzhen and her son, but frustratingly, evidence couldn’t be found – after all, the case had already been so long ago.

"Are you done asking? I’ve already called my lawyer. If you continue to detain me, I can sue you."

Huo Xun narrowed his eyes, his expression displeased.

Rarely had anyone been so arrogant in front of him.

"You can leave."

He said in an indifferent tone.

Chen Huanqing stood up to leave, a smug smile on his face.

"Captain Huo, are we just letting him go like this? This case is all suspicions!"

"What can we do if we don’t have evidence? They are already talking about suing us."

Huo Xun scoffed, then his face grew cold.

"Change the angle of investigation. Have the relevant personnel check Chen Huanqing’s company’s financial transactions and tax records."

He didn’t like to play by the book when handling cases. Did they really think he had no way to deal with them without evidence?

"Zhaozhao, the police station released Chen Huanqing, saying that they couldn’t find evidence and couldn’t detain him!"

Su Xiaotong said angrily to Qin Zhao, "Ah, I’m so mad, how can this scumbag not be sentenced!"

"It’s good they can’t sentence him, let Xia Mingzhen take care of them."

Qin Zhao had barely finished speaking when Su Xiaotong received a call from a private detective.

After listening to the private detective, Su Xiaotong’s face changed.

"Chen Huanqing bought tickets abroad as soon as he left the police station with Feng Xiaoli. They bought a house in Australia and seem to be planning to settle there.

If he really escapes to Australia, even if the police find evidence later, it will be hard to bring him back to face justice!"

"Where are Chen Huanqing and his party?" asked Qin Zhao.

"They’re already at the airport."

Qin Zhao turned her head to look behind her; in the distance, Xia Mingzhen stood in the shadows with two children.

"Let’s go to the airport now."

Qin Zhao opened an umbrella, and Xia Mingzhen came floating over with the kids.

"Miss Qin."

"Come on, let’s go get your revenge."

Xia Mingzhen answered with a trembling voice, visibly moved, "Okay."

Su Xiaotong drove her Beetle as fast as she could, fearful of being one step too late and letting Chen Huanqing and Feng Xiaoli escape abroad, which would make it much harder to find them.

But even at its fastest, that kind of car was not going to get them there quickly.

Qin Zhao eyed the sports cars speeding down the road, thinking she should buy one herself someday; otherwise, always hailing a taxi every time she went out was too inconvenient.

Finally, they arrived at the airport. Chen Huanqing and Feng Xiaoli hadn’t boarded yet.

At this time of day, there were fewer people flying, so the airport was eerily empty.

Those in the departure lounge felt as if the air conditioning had suddenly kicked in strong, inexplicably sending chills.

"I never imagined all our hard work would be ruined by Qin Zhao. She and I had no grievances – why would she do this to me?!"

Chen Huanqing gritted his teeth at the mention of Qin Zhao’s name.

Her actions had spoiled his business back home, causing him losses of tens of millions at least!

"The police not finding evidence is what matters, but right now, laying low is more important."

Feng Xiaoli said with a worried look, reaching down to touch her stomach.

"How come the airport suddenly turned on the AC? It’s so cold it’s making my stomach hurt; I’m going to the restroom."

Feng Xiaoli handed her bag to Chen Huanqing.
