Chapter 306: Caught by the Police

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Jia Qing was lucky that he had even survived.

The studio had already compensated Jia Qing with a huge sum of money.

They’d also conducted an investigation and found out that the flour was mixed with arsenic trioxide. The only thing they weren’t sure of was whether the person who had bought the flour was also the one who mixed it in there or not.

Everything was conducted privately, and the public had no idea that an accident had occurred onstage.

All of the staff members thought that the incident would be settled very quickly, but no one had expected that the poison was just the tip of the iceberg.

Just as Xu Xiyan and Ma Haodong were shooting a scene in the morning, a few policemen barged onto the set suddenly.

Since “Root of Evil” was a detective drama, a few of the actors were wearing police uniforms, and no one noticed that real policemen had arrived on the scene.

One of the policemen ordered everyone to stop what they were doing.

“What the hell?” Peng Sicheng scolded, as he thought they were actors. “Who told you to do that? Can’t you see the camera is still rolling?”

“Nice to meet you,” team captain Guo said as he flashed his badge and a piece of paper. “We’re from the Peijing Police Department. We’ve received a report saying that someone here tried to poison one of your staff members. This is now a crime scene, and we’ll be conducting our own search. This is our search warrant!”

“...” Peng Sicheng didn’t know how to react to the sudden turn of events and remained silent. Shit! Are they the real deal? I thought we took care of everything. Who the hell talked to the police?

After a few minutes, one of the police found the arsenic trioxide in the locker room.

Just as Xu Xiyan and Ma Haodong were talking at the side, Captain Guo stopped in front of them.

“Are you Jing Xi?” Captain Guo asked. “We found this arsenic trioxide in your locker, and you’re now a suspect. Please follow us back to the precinct.”

“What? Could you repeat that?” Xu Xiyan said dumbfoundedly.

Captain Guo repeated the whole sentence, and Xu Xiyan was finally sure that she didn’t hear it wrong.

“This must be a mistake? There’s no way that belongs to me,” Xu Xiyan explained. “Why would I even try to hurt Jia Qing? The incident happened last Friday, do you think it would be normal for me to leave that in my locker waiting to be found?”

Xu Xiyan was right, everything seemed out of place.

“I think there must be some mistake,” Ma Haodong stood up and said. “I was there when Jia Qing was poisoned. If Jing Xi had not saved him in time, he would be dead by now. Shouldn’t you guys reward her instead of capturing her?”

“I’m sorry, but this is still an investigation, I hope you’ll cooperate,” Captain Guo said. “Take her away.”

Even if Xu Xiyan was not cuffed, being escorted by two policemen still caused a huge uproar.

“With what proof are you charging her?” Ma Haodong shouted as he stood in their way. “Let her go!”
