To My Dear Mr. Huo - Chapter 613
Chapter 613: Don’t You Have Any Responsibility At All?
This was the first time Su Qingsang came to a place like the police station. She was brought to a small dark room.
She had watched such scenes on television before. When her gaze met the glass, she knew that someone was staring at her from the other side.
Su Qingsang didn’t show much fear. Instead, she felt that it was a little curious. A normal person wouldn’t come to a place like this even once in their lifetime. This was a rare experience.
The two police officers who brought her here happened to be a man and a woman. The female police officer saw that se didn’t panic even when she saw her. Instead, she looked calm.
This person was either too nonchalant or too good at acting.
“Sit down,” the female police officer said. Su Qingsang looked at the table. There were two chairs on one side and a chair on the other side.
The armrest of the chair looked like the kind of chair that could be used to handcuff a criminal in movies and TV shows.
Su Qingsang frowned. She came here today to help with the investigation. Why were these people treating her as a criminal now?
“Su Qingsang, sit down.”
The policewoman called out again. Her tone of voice was obviously reprimanding. Su Qingsang glanced at her indifferently and took a step forward to sit down on the chair.
Fortunately, that person didn’t handcuff her, otherwise, she couldn’t guarantee that she would still be able to cooperate.
The two policemen sat opposite her and turned on the light. Su Qingsang instinctively closed her eyes.
“Su Qingsang?”
At this time, the policewoman took out a notebook, opened it, and began to record Su Qingsang’s statement.
“Name?”
“Su Qingsang.” Su Qingsang felt that it was a little funny. The other party had just called her by her name, and now she was asking her name?
“Gender?”
“Female.”
“Occupation?”
“Doctor.”
“Gynecologist from the Central hospital?”
“Yes.”
“Did you perform a surgery yesterday?”
“Yes.”
“What surgery?”
“Cesarean section surgery.”
Su Qingsang felt helpless that the other party still wanted to ask her despite knowing everything. The other party’s question was also very simple, and she answered it accordingly.
The first part was just an appetizer, and very soon, the main point was reached.
“Someone is accusing you of murdering the newborn baby that you delivered yesterday.”
Su Qingsang was stunned. Even though she knew her crime, she couldn’t help but laugh when she heard it.
“Comrade, are you joking?”
“Be serious.”
“Police officer, I did perform a cesarean section yesterday. I was the chief surgeon. The baby was stillborn. How did it become me who murdered the baby?”
The two police officers looked at each other. The policewoman looked at Su Qingsang.
“Su Qingsang, the informant said that you could have killed the baby during the delivery.”
“Officer, you might not understand, but I’m not the only one in charge in the operating room. It’s impossible for only one person to complete a surgery. In an operation like a cesarean section, other than the chief surgeon, which is me, there are also assistant doctors, midwives, nurses, and anesthetists in the operating room. I would like to ask, how could I have killed the newborn baby in front of so many people?”
“You mean, you had nothing to do with the death of that baby?”
“Of course.” Su Qingsang’s voice was very soft. “If you don’t believe me, you can ask the other doctors, nurses, and my colleagues in the operating room yesterday. They can prove that I didn’t lie.”
“Then, do you admit that it might be because you didn’t perform the surgery properly and that your delay caused the death of that baby? Does that mean that even if you didn’t do it on purpose, there were still medical problems with the operation?”
Su Qingsang felt like laughing at this moment. Judging from the other party’s attitude, it seemed like she had to be blamed for something?
“As I said earlier, I don’t control the operating room alone. All of our operations are strictly in accordance with a doctor’s ethics. Therefore, I don’t think it was a medical operating problem.”
“So you insist that the death of the baby had nothing to do with you?”
“Yes. I’m also very sorry that we didn’t succeed in saving that baby’s life.”
Putting aside the fact that Qi Xiwei saved Huo Jinyao’s life, even if she was just an ordinary doctor, she wouldn’t leave the baby to die.
“Don’t you have any responsibility for this medical incident at all?”
The policewoman’s words were very impolite, and Su Qingsang furrowed her brows.
“Officer, first of all, this wasn’t a medical accident. This was an accident that we didn’t want to happen. Second, the doctor is just a doctor, an ordinary person. If we can cure all the diseases, if we could save all the lives, then we would no longer be humans, but gods.
“We aren’t gods. We can’t save all the lives. Although we hope so, we can’t do it.”
Su Qingsang’s voice was very soft. As doctors, they had taken an oath on the day they graduated from medical school.
However, sometimes, even if they tried their best, it was impossible for the outcome to be optimistic.
The two police officers looked at each other. Finally, one of the doctors looked at Su Qingsang.
“Su Qingsang, you don’t need to talk big words here, and you don’t need to make excuses for yourself here. We called you here for questioning because you have the motive to hurt the baby.”
“I have the motive?”
What motive did she have?
“That’s right.” The policewoman nodded. “At this point, don’t you want to confess?”
“I’m sorry, I don’t quite understand what you mean. What do I have to confess?”
“You have a grudge against that woman.”
Su Qingsang almost choked on her own saliva. “I have a grudge against that woman?”
When she said ‘I’, she even pointed at herself. Her face was full of disbelief. Since when did she have a grudge against Qi Xiwei?
“That’s right.” The male policeman nodded. His voice was very calm. “We already have all the evidence and the situation, so it’s better for you to tell the truth.”
“Evidence? What evidence?”
“What relationship does the woman who lost her child have with you? Do you really not want to tell the truth?”
“I’m sorry, officer. I really don’t know what my relationship with her is. Why don’t you tell me?”
The policewoman nodded. “Looks like you won’t give up until the nail its the coffin.”
As she spoke, she took out a document from the side and spread it in front of Su Qingsang.
“Qi Xiwei, female, 30 years old this year. She’s from Rong City. She was once a couple with your husband, Huo Jinyao, at Yale University. Ever since Qi Xiwei returned to the country, she has been in contact with Huo Jinyao. We have evidence that proves that Huo Jinyao has been in and out of Qi Xiwei’s villa multiple times.”
Su Qingsang blinked and looked at the few photos on the documents.
One of them was of Huo Jinyao entering a villa, and the other was of Huo Jinyao sitting in the garden with Qi Xiwei. Huo Jinyao seemed to be hugging Qi Xiwei, and his hand was placed on Qi Xiwei’s waist. The two of them seemed to be in an intimate position.
Upon seeing the photo, Su Qingsang frowned slightly.
Her expression seemed to confirm the police’s guess, and the policewoman retrieved the information. Her expression was colder than before.
“Now, you can confess, right?”
“What do you want me to confess?”
“Su Qingsang, you have to know that it’s not good for you to be like this.” The policewoman knocked on the table with a threatening look on her face. “If you confess, the punishment will be lenient, but if you resist, the punishment will be severe. You’ve heard this saying before, haven’t you?”
“I’ve heard of this saying, but I don’t quite understand. What do I have to confess?”
“Are you still playing dumb?” The male police officer slammed the table hard at this moment. “Clearly, you knew that Huo Jinyao and Qi Xiwei were still entangled with each other. You felt indignant. That’s why you tried to of a way to assassinate her. But you knew that you couldn’t kill Qi Xiwei, so you targeted that child, right?”
Su Qingsang couldn’t even smile anymore. She looked at the male police officer with a mocking expression. “You police officers rely on guesses instead of evidence now?”
“Su Qingsang, behave yourself.”
Su Qingsang smiled and looked at the two police officers in front of her. “I just want to ask, do you have any evidence?”
“Su Qingsang, there’s no point in quibbling. Please answer our questions honestly. You killed Qi Xiwei’s child because you were unhappy with your husband, Huo Jinyao, and Qi Xiwei’s relationship, right?”
“Officer, from now on, I refuse to answer any of your questions.”
Su Qingsang’s temper flared up as well. She propped her hands on the table and looked at the two police officers in front of her with extreme seriousness.
“Either you produce evidence and send me to jail in a fair and square manner, or please let me go. You have no reason to pin such a serious crime on me just because of a groundless guess.”
“Su Qingsang, do you really think that we can’t do anything to you?”
The policewoman glared at Su Qingsang with obvious dissatisfaction in her eyes. “I’ll say it again. Please tell us the truth.”
“I refuse.”
Su Qingsang threw out these words and stopped answering the other party’s questions. Now, she was only waiting for Huo Jinyao to find a lawyer and get her out of here.
She believed that Huo Jinyao wouldn’t let her down.
..
When Huo Jinyao went to the hospital, he didn’t know that Su Qingsang had been taken away. After all, no one told him.
He first went to Qi Xiwei’s ward. Xiao Jiang called him and told him that a man had come to the ward. Qi Xiwei was very emotional, and they were having an argument.
When he entered the ward, Qi Xiwei was sitting on the bed. She had just given birth and was very weak. Even so, she glared at the man in front of her with hatred.
Lian Jin was standing about a meter away from the bed. Xiao Jiang was between him and Qi Xiwei.
Xiao Jiang stood in front of Lian Jin and looked at Lian Jin with fear and worry in her eyes.
Upon seeing that Huo Jinyao had arrived, Lian Jin scoffed, “What? Do you think you don’t have to solve our problems just because you called your lover?”
“Lian Jin, I have nothing to say to you. Get lost.”
Qi Xiwei was so angry that her chest heaved up and down violently. She was like a piece of paper floating in the wind, as if she could fall at any moment.
In place of Xiao Jiang, Huo Jinyao took two steps forward and stood in front of Lian Jin.
“It seems that I was too polite to you yesterday.”
Yang Wenchang had already called someone to stand guard outside. As long as he called out, they could come in and throw Lian Jin out of the hospital at any time.
“Huo Jinyao, do you still have time to care about me now?”
Lian Jin looked at Huo Jinyao and smiled meaningfully. “Tsk, I really can tell that you still have such deep feelings for this woman.”
“Lian Jin, you better watch your mouth.” Huo Jinyao’s eyes were sharp, and his expression was sinister.
“What? Are you angry out of embarrassment? You even left your own wife for this woman. Did I say something wrong?”
What did he mean? Huo Jinyao didn’t react for a moment. Lian Jin sneered, then looked past Huo Jinyao at Qi Xiwei on the bed.
“Qi Xiwei, either you hand over the child to me, or I’ll have to think of another way to get you to hand over the child.”
“Get lost.” Qi Xiwei was already heartbroken enough after losing the child.
However, Lian Jin had added insult to injury. She was furious.
“Lian Jin, if you don’t leave now, do you believe that I’ll perish together with you?”
Lian Jin sneered. He looked at Huo Jinyao, who was about to say something when he turned to look at her because of Qi Xiwei’s words.
“Xiwei, don’t be rash. There’s no need to lower yourself to such a person’s level.”
As he spoke, he called Yang Wenchang over and asked him to bring his men to throw Lian Jin out.
This time, Lian Jin had a smile on his face. That smile had a deeper meaning.
“Huo Jinyao, if you have the ability, you can guard her for the rest of your life. I’d like to see if you’ll regret it in the end.”
Huo Jinyao was too impatient to listen to his nonsense. With a wave of his hand, he let Yang Wenchang take him away.
After Lian Jin left, Qi Xiwei almost lost all her strength. Her body went limp and she fell backward. Xiaojiang timely took a pillow and placed it behind her, then held her steady.
Her face devoid of color, she leaned against the head of the bed and sat there.
Huo Jinyao let Xiao Jiang out and instructed Yang Wenchang to get someone to guard the door of the ward. Only then did he return to the front of the bed and looked at Qi Xiwei with a worried expression.
“Xiwei, do you need me to help you find a new place?”
Qi Xiwei sat there in a daze. When she heard Huo Jinyao’s words, she looked up at him and said, “Why do you need to find a place? I’m so weak now. If he comes looking for me again, it will be useless no matter where I go.”
Huo Jinyao’s brows were tightly knitted together. He had never asked Qi Xiwei about her relationship with that Lian Jin, and this Lian Jin had come looking for her again and again now, but he really couldn’t stay by her side forever.
“Didn’t you divorce him? Do you need to call the police? Let the police handle it.”
Qi Xiwei looked at him and suddenly laughed.
“Divorce? Heh, that pervert, how could he let me off so easily?”
“Xiwei?” Huo Jinyao was even more confused by her expression. “What’s going on between you and him?”
Qi Xiwei glanced at Huo Jinyao, lowered her head, and placed her hand on her abdomen.
There was once a child there, but that child was no longer there.
She had been running and hiding. She thought she could hide. But it seemed that at this moment, she realized that she couldn’t hide at all.
“Xiwei?”
