Farming Space Makes Me Rich

Chapter 114: Busybody

“That’s how it happened.” Xiao Lingyu said, “They were probably driving too fast to notice the stone by the roadside. The motorcycle toppled over.” Once Xiao Lingyu said that an officer shouted, “Captain, there’s a stone about 6 cm here. It has been crushed.”

The captains from the police station and traffic police walked over. That confirmed Xiao Lingyu’s statement.

At that moment, the captain for the traffic police, Captain Bi, narrowed his eyes as if thinking of something. He looked at Xiao Lingyu and asked, “You followed them from Salvation West Road to this place?”

“Yes!” Xiao Lingyu answered.

Captain Bi commented, “Do you know how far the distance from Salvation West Road to this place is? It’s about eight km.”

Only then did Xiao Lingyu realize how strange the whole event was. ‘How is that possible?’

“The motorcycle was speeding at around 80 km per hour. And you were running at its speed? How fast can you run? I doubt it’s as fast as 80 km per hour.” Captain Bi said with a serious expression. “Even our country’s fastest athlete can only manage 10 meters per second or 18 km per hour.” He suspected Xiao Lingyu was lying. After all, what she said was too hard to believe.

Xiao Lingyu frowned. She didn’t know how to explain this either. She was confused. ‘Was I running that fast?’

Captain Bi looked at Xiao Lingyu. He didn’t think she was faking her confusion. “We have to investigate this further. I’ll have to trouble you to come to the police station with us.”

“Sure.” Xiao Lingyu had no fear because she was telling the truth. But the reasoning behind the truth? She couldn’t explain it either.

This incident started from a robbery. So if there was no hidden conspiracy behind this, the two robbers brought this on themselves. They didn’t deserve pity.

At the station, Xiao Lingyu was assigned to rest at the lounge. The police and the traffic police went to check the surveillance video.

Xiao Lingyu started to run the moment her bag was snatched. She shouted, “Help, thieves!” Her speed picked up, which surprised the people around her.

However, when the footage turned to the cameras at Salvation North Road and Light South Road, the videos were all static. The videos were damaged and couldn’t be seen.

“Have someone repair them now!” Captain Bi ordered.

“Yes, sir!” The young officer obliged. As the young officer reached the door, he ran into Jiang Tao.

“Chief Jiang!” Jiang Tao walked into the room and asked, “Captain Bi, what happened?”

Captain Bi said, “Chief, two thieves robbed a girl’s bag on a motorcycle. This led to a chase and, unfortunately, a car accident. The two thieves are seriously injured. One of them hit his head and is in emergency rescue.”

Jiang Tao asked, “That’s unfortunate, but what’s so suspicious about it?”

Captain Bi explained. “Chief, the problem is that the thieves were driving at 80 km per hour. They rode for about 8 km. However, the girl almost caught up to them by just running. Chief, do you think a person’s running speed can catch up to a motorcycle?”

“Of course, that’s impossible!” Jiang Tao said, “So, you’re suspecting the girl is lying.”

Captain Bi nodded. “Yes, that’s why I came to check the surveillance footage!”

“Then, did you find anything?” Jiang Tao narrowed his eyes and asked seriously.

“The footage did show the two thieves stealing the girl’s bag. She gave chase.” Captain Bi rewound the footage for Jiang Tao to see. “She was running fast, but when she crossed into Salvation North Road and Light South Road, the surveillance went down. I had Xiao Wang check it. Chief, I…” Captain Bi was about to voice his suspicion when Jiang Tao gasped. “Isn’t that Xiao Lingyu?” Jiang Tao was surprised to see the girl in the footage.

“Yes, her name is Xiao Lingyu. Chief, do you know her?” Captain Bi was surprised too.

Jiang Tao nodded. “She’s the heroine who helped us take down Sister Hong’s human trafficking gang!”

Captain Bi was shocked. “She’s the one? She looks so delicate, but she is so clever and brave.”

“That’s the one!” Jiang Tao said, “She is an honest person. She can’t be behind the car accident. It’s impossible.” Then, Jiang Tao remembered something else. “This girl is indeed very physically fit. Back during that mission, she managed to save the boy from the hands of six human traffickers. She helped us rescue the children, and that gave us the opening to capture all the criminals. Where is Xiao Lingyu now?”

“She’s in the lounge.” Captain Bi said.

“Captain, Chief!” Xiao Wang returned. “I checked. The surveillance at Salvation North Road and Light South Road is broken. Even after it’s fixed, we can’t see the video from that period anymore.”

Captain Bi nodded. “okay.”

“However, the cameras in Chen Tong Alley where the accident happened are fine.”

Captain Bi and Jiang Tao watched the video.

It showed how the car accident happened. The blond driver looked at the rearview mirror and didn’t notice the rock on the ground. When the motorcycle flipped, Xiao Lingyu was more than 100 meters away from them. Xiao Lingyu couldn’t have sabotaged the motorcycle.

Captain Bi reluctantly believed Xiao Lingyu had indeed run with her own two feet to the site. Sadly, there was no evidence to support that.

Of course, since the footage at Chen Tong Alley proved that the motorcycle turned because of the driver’s carelessness, Captain Bi didn’t need to look into Xiao Lingyu anymore. She could be Superwoman for all he cared.

Captain Bi thought about it and called the Traffic Bureau to give his report..
