Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The storm went on for over ten days, yet Mu Yuchen felt like they were the most relaxing ten days he had ever had. He did not see them as unfortunate. Instead, he used the days to sort out his jumbled thoughts and feelings, feeling much more at ease because of that.
When the police called him to the interrogation room, he was relieved. The first thought that crossed his mind was Xi Xiaye’s bright and beautiful face. It had only been over ten days since they last met, yet it felt like a century had pa.s.sed. He truly missed her a lot.
In the interrogation room, Lawyer w.a.n.g sat aside, and before the table was Captain w.a.n.g and two other police officers. Meanwhile, Li Si and Su Chen were waiting outside.
When they saw Mu Yuchen walk towards them along the corridor, Li Si could not help but rush up to him as he shouted emotionally, “Master!”
“Ah Chen!” Su Chen called out softly too. He wanted to go up to his friend but was stopped by the two police officers that stood guarded by the door.
Mu Yuchen’s expression was calm. He nodded gently at the two of them, a faint smile rippling across his handsome face before he walked in.
Mu Yuchen had just sat down when Captain w.a.n.g smiled and said as he opened a folder, “It looks like you’ve gotten quite used to staying with us now, Master Mu.”
Mu Yuchen nodded calmly as he answered humbly, “Indeed, it’s a good place to cultivate one’s character and mental strength.”
Captain w.a.n.g chuckled with his gaze lowered. The higher-ups had explained things to him, so he dared not be disrespectful towards Mu Yuchen either. If not for Mu Yuchen’s lawyer bringing in new evidence today, Mu Yuchen would have to be continued being detained. w.a.n.g Qin and Gu Lingsha were no ordinary people either. With both sides pressuring them, it was hard for him to be stuck in the middle. He would much rather Mu Yuchen quickly hand in new evidence and then leave. That way, he would not need to be troubled with this every day and lose sleep!
They repeated the inspections over and over again near the dock and with the footages on the ship. Captain w.a.n.g kept looking through them. In fact, he looked at them so much that his eyes could bleed. Alas, even though he found it suspicious, he did not discover anything.
So, today when Lawyer w.a.n.g came over, he was relieved.
“Lawyer w.a.n.g, you said that you have new evidence to prove that Master Mu wasn’t the one injuring the victims. What evidence is it?” Captain w.a.n.g asked frankly, not delaying any further.
Lawyer w.a.n.g quickly took a doc.u.ment from his briefcase and handed it to Captain w.a.n.g. “I’m sure this doc.u.ment has been handed to Captain w.a.n.g before by the forensics department. The results from the forensics team have proven that the tissue underneath Madam w.a.n.g Qin’s nails doesn’t match our Master Mu’s DNA. The fingerprints on the knife were also messy, so you can’t prove that only our Master Mu has handled that knife. Furthermore, you can’t prove that it was Master Mu who accidentally injured the victims with the knife. Also, we found these things in a garbage heap near the dock.”
As Lawyer w.a.n.g said that, he picked the bag beside him up and put it before Captain w.a.n.g. “This is the uniform of the waiters that night. There are some red wine stains on it. Of course, there are some blood stains too. Even though the clothes have been burnt, thankfully the blood traces on it can still be detected. I brought it to the lab for a test which can prove that the bloodstains on this are Madam w.a.n.g Qin’s. It’s also the same as the DNA from Madam w.a.n.g Qin’s fingernails. It doesn’t belong to our Master Mu.”
Captain w.a.n.g’s eyes darkened while a solemn expression flashed across his face. The police did not even find such important things. How did they get all of that?
He took the bag a little doubtfully as he pulled a pair of gloves on. He inspected it closely and flipped through the examination report before nodding at the officer beside him. That officer swiftly picked up his phone to call the lab. Shortly after that, he kept his phone away and leaned in towards Captain w.a.n.g to whisper something. The captain nodded tersely.
“Master Mu, the fact that you could even get this report from the lab shows that your people are really going all out. Lawyer w.a.n.g’s quite capable.” When Captain w.a.n.g said this, they were not sure what he meant.
“Captain w.a.n.g, you’re over-praising me now,” Lawyer w.a.n.g said humbly.
Captain w.a.n.g muttered to himself for a moment, and then said, “However, this shouldn’t be enough to clear Master Mu of suspicion. I’m sorry. You need to have stronger evidence.” His steadfast face contained a hint of indescribable sternness as he looked up to Mu Yuchen.
“Captain w.a.n.g, you don’t have evidence to prove that our Master Mu did it either, do you? Just based on the fact that Master Mu held a fruit knife, can you prove that he did it? Did you see him personally hurt someone with the knife? How can you be sure that someone else didn’t frame him in the mid of the chaos then? You can’t just convict and lock him up based on this alone. The police shouldn’t treat this like child’s play!” Lawyer w.a.n.g demanded when he noticed Captain w.a.n.g’s tensed expression.
“I think you wouldn’t have just brought these things to prove your innocence, would you, Master Mu?” Captain w.a.n.g looked at Lawyer w.a.n.g, then turned to look at Mu Yuchen who had remained silent.
Then, Mu Yuchen smiled and straightened up. “Captain w.a.n.g, you seem quite calm, but this incident really has nothing to do with me. Instead of spending time on me, how about you look through these things? My people have already saved you half the effort.” His deep voice came through as he looked pointedly at the things on the table.
“As the police, we will definitely look through what should. Thank you for your cooperation.”
Mu Yuchen nodded gladly. He turned to look at Lawyer w.a.n.g who coincidentally met his unfathomable gaze. Upon seeing him nod gently, Lawyer w.a.n.g took a doc.u.ment that had many pictures attached out of his briefcase.
Mu Yuchen casually took two of the pictures to study casually. Then, a perfect curve flashed in the corner of his lips before his long fingers tossed the pictures to Captain w.a.n.g. “If the previous evidence isn’t enough as proof, these should be sufficient.”
Then, Captain w.a.n.g picked the pictures before him up while Lawyer w.a.n.g handed him the complete doc.u.ment too. “Captain w.a.n.g, this was the instant before the lights dimmed. Our people caught that in that split second. There’s even the timestamp of when the picture was taken. It coincidentally captured the moment the murderer did it. Even though you can’t see the person’s face clearly, at that moment, our Master Mu and Missus were right there!”
