Chapter 204 Did she hear wrong?
This was the first time Qiao Luo had been asked this question, and she dared not hide anything, so she answered directly, "Yes."
Could you elaborate?
Qiao Luo nodded, and then recounted the grudge between her and Lin Mei.
"By the way, we had an argument in her office the day I handed her the USB drive."
"Oh? What were you arguing about?"
Peng Jingyu inquired.
Qiao Luo then recounted in detail the events of their argument that day.
Peng Jingyu listened and understood the gist of it. He nodded and said, "Okay, what you said today is very helpful for the investigation of the case. We have taken note of it. Also, is there anything else you would like to say to us, or anything you hope we can help you with? Of course, it doesn't have to be related to the case."
"Can it really be unrelated to the case?" Qiao Luo quickly asked.
Peng Jingyu nodded.
"Can I call my family? If you're worried, I can make the call in front of you. I just want to let them know I'm safe."
Qiao Luo said urgently.
Peng Jingyu didn't ask any further questions, but instead handed over his phone number.
"You can use my phone to make the call."
As he spoke, he handed over his phone.
Qiao Luo asked in surprise, "Really? Is that possible?"
After all, the police officers had told her more than once that she should not contact the outside world, but the officer in front of her was so understanding.
Peng Jingyu nodded, "Of course."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Luo slowly took the phone and dialed Lu Tingnian's number in front of the three of them.
The call was picked up quickly.
"Hey……"
"Lu Tingnian, it's me."
Before Lu Tingnian could ask, Qiao Luo quickly introduced herself, since it was a stranger's call.
When Lu Tingnian heard Qiao Luo's voice on the other end of the phone, he was taken aback for a moment, since it was an unfamiliar number. However, he quickly realized that Peng Jingyu must have gone there in person, otherwise, according to the rules of handling cases, she would not have had the opportunity to call him.
Thinking of this, he asked, "Are you alright?"
Qiao Luo nodded, "I'm fine, but I might not be able to go back for a while. I'm not sure exactly how long. Are you okay on your own?"
She didn't mention her detention to Lu Tingnian, partly because she was afraid it would frighten him, and partly because she was worried the police would come after him. After all, he was in a difficult situation and had trouble taking care of himself. Even with Sister Zhang around, it was still inconvenient at times, and she really didn't want to cause him any more trouble because of herself.
Lu Tingnian was touched to hear that she was still concerned about him.
"I can manage on my own, but you need to take good care of yourself."
He neither asked her why she wasn't going home nor said he was going to look for her. Qiao Luo had a vague premonition that he seemed to know something, but considering that there were three people watching her, she didn't dare to ask. She only said, "I will take good care of myself."
She then hung up the phone and returned it.
"Officer Peng, thank you."
She was genuinely grateful; it was the first time she had ever met such an understanding and considerate police officer.
Peng Jingyu took the phone but didn't say anything. Luckily, he had brought an extra cell phone with him before he came, otherwise he would have been exposed.
"Ms. Qiao, that's all for today's chat. You should go home and rest. We'll let you know when we have any news."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Luo was taken aback. "Go home and rest?"
Did she mishear?
