Capítulo 789: Chapter 789: There Are Still Hidden Truths
Police station.
Lin Zhiyi didn’t know at this moment that Fu Shu had already woken up.
After signing the document, she walked up to Captain Xing and proposed an idea.
“Let me see that man alone. I think he definitely knows something more.”
“After being caught, he’s been making anti-social remarks, and when asked about the case, he insists that you hired someone to kill.” Captain Xing said helplessly.
Lin Zhiyi glanced at Gong Chen.
“I want to give it a shot.”
In the end, Gong Chen complied with her request.
“Let her go. Since that man could recognize Zhiyi at a glance, it’s certainly not as simple as just taking the money to do the job.”
“Alright, I’ll arrange it.”
Captain Xing turned and left.
Gong Chen accompanied Lin Zhiyi to the interrogation room.
“Zhiyi, that man is acting fearlessly; there probably are hidden truths. Be careful.”
“Alright, I’ll be careful.”
Lin Zhiyi smiled, reassuring him.
Upon entering the interrogation room, the man’s eyes glanced sideways, with great arrogance.
“Why is it you? I tell you, no matter what you say, I won’t change my testimony.”
Lin Zhiyi slowly sat down.
“It doesn’t matter. It’s not me who’s going to jail anyway.”
As she said that, she crossed her legs, displaying an attitude even more arrogant than his.
She noticed earlier when meeting the reporters that this man exhibited hostility towards women.
Coupled with his cynical attitude.
He’s likely the type who, when doing something wrong, always blames others.
Especially picking on women.
So as long as she stayed elevated, she’d certainly provoke him.
Sure enough.
The man looked at Lin Zhiyi’s attitude, seemingly making up a series of causes and effects in his mind.
In the end, he stared at her with a somewhat hideous expression.
“Why shouldn’t you be in jail? You guys want to use me as a scapegoat!”
“You hit Fu Shu, what does it have to do with me? You received cash and never met me. I think it’s highly possible that you wanted to attract public attention, so you orchestrated this car accident.”
Lin Zhiyi analyzed confidently, causing the man’s face to change dramatically.
Just finished speaking, the man grew furious, pounding the table and standing up.
“What nonsense are you talking! I’m in this mess all because of you!”
“Me? So you listen to me very well?” Lin Zhiyi retorted.
“Bulls***! I would never listen to a woman!”
Although this man is easy to incite, his words contradict themselves, full of contradictions.
Lin Zhiyi laughed: “You don’t listen to me, yet you hit someone because of me. Isn’t that contradicting? Besides, the police have already investigated my account and found it hacked, which fully proves my innocence. Looks like the prison is yours to enjoy. I just doubt whether the folks in there like listening to you.”
“You… you’ve already cleared your suspicion? Impossible!”
The man looked at Lin Zhiyi incredulously;
The arrogance in his eyes was gone.
Lin Zhiyi knew he was starting to feel scared.
She continued to embellish: “Don’t you wonder why they used cash for the private transaction with you? It’s because they didn’t want you to know their identity, then why specially tell you it was me trading with you? The police aren’t fools, wouldn’t be unable to uncover this.”
The man’s fist relaxed, fell heavily back to his seat.
“Shouldn’t be, it can’t be!”
Lin Zhiyi pretended to be relaxed and rested her cheeks: “That’s how it is; the other side got what they wanted, and I’m not impacted, only you have to go to jail.”
The man stunned on the spot.
Lin Zhiyi said: “However… if you can make up for your mistakes, the police might handle it with discretion.”
The man looked down guiltily, unclear what he was thinking.
Lin Zhiyi moved a bit closer.
“You’re so arrogant in front of reporters because you’re confident you can get out unscathed, right? You just didn’t expect I’d clear my suspicion so promptly.”
“I…” The man hesitated.
“Wish you well in prison.”
Lin Zhiyi stood, waving farewell.
Just as she turned, the man couldn’t sit still.
“I’ll talk! I’ll talk!”
Lin Zhiyi sat down again: “Go ahead.”
The man took a deep breath, spilling everything.
“She offered so much that I got tempted, but I don’t like being commanded by a woman…”
“Wait, you said a woman? How are you sure it was a woman?” Lin Zhiyi asked curiously.
“Your avatar was a woman, and because of that, I was extra cautious. I wanted to see what kind of woman dared to command me. So I showed up an hour early at the money pickup spot.”
The man crossed his legs, looking as though he had everything under control.
Lin Zhiyi knew this man must have been hiding something.
He had unexpected evidence, no wonder he remained fearless even when caught.
Lin Zhiyi asked: “The money you received was only a deposit, right? If you could convict me, you’d get additional money, and you wanted leverage to gain more money.”
In simple terms, greed.
Just he never expected the police and reporters wouldn’t be fooled at all.
The man’s eyes widened, seeing Lin Zhiyi laid out everything, could only nod woodenly.
“Yes. There was a photo of you and Fu Shu in the cash bag, along with instructions on what to do.”
“So what exactly did you see when you arrived an hour early?” Lin Zhiyi pressed.
The man replied distressedly: “A fully disguised woman, though aged, with delicate hands.”
Lin Zhiyi looked at him suspiciously.
The man explained: “She was dressed very young, but her physique was far removed from a young woman’s; she was too fake. Also, her hands were well-maintained, not as agile as a young woman’s. If you don’t believe me, I recorded a video.”
Lin Zhiyi pursed her lips: “Why didn’t you say so sooner?”
“If I hand over the video, can you speak to the police for me?” the man asked.
“Sure.”
Fat chance.
No one’s going to care.
In the end, the man handed over the video.
Captain Xing immediately handed it to the tech department.
Lin Zhiyi and Gong Chen also went over to watch the video.
A video of less than a minute.
Inside, the woman indeed, as described by the man, dressed young.
Maybe she didn’t want to be recognized.
The woman wore youthful attire, from head to toe all popular brands, could be anybody.
Long straight hair, wearing a hat and sunglasses.
Except for her mouth, her whole face was hard to discern.
After placing the cash-filled bag into the locker, she turned around and ran away.
The transaction location was an old market, teeming with various people.
Several outdated cameras barely captured anyone, let alone catch this woman.
Captain Xing frowned deeply.
“Too many people, can’t see anything but heads; and these people are all from out of town looking for work. Here today, might not be here tomorrow. Asking each would take an eternity.”
Gong Chen stared at the screen.
“No need for such hassle, look at her body movements.”
