LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 327: Became a Suspect
"What's the situation with you?"
Upon seeing him come in, Lin Yi looked as if he had seen hope.
"After they brought me here yesterday, they said I had harmed Wang Guixiang, but I really didn't do it. However, what's strange is that it seems like they have some evidence."
"Yes, they not only have video evidence, but they also found related drugs during a search of your company. Moreover, these drugs match exactly with the ones found in Wang Guixiang's system."
"What are you talking about? They found it at my company?"
"Yes, from your company, and specifically inside the safe in your office. Initially, there were five in the box, but coincidentally, now there are only four left."
"That's impossible. How could there be such things in my office? And what exactly are those drugs?"
"As for what they are, I haven't figured it out yet, but they should have the lab results soon. Tell me, did you really do it?"
"I truly didn't do it. How could I possibly have harmed Wang Guixiang? Besides, I've been helping him all along."
Lin Yi grew anxious, feeling as if jumping into the Yellow River wouldn't wash him clean.
"Then why does the surveillance footage capture your likeness?"
"I've seen the surveillance footage too. But I can tell you, what they captured was just a silhouette. I'm telling you, Zhao Guangchen, whether in terms of height or build, resembles me very closely. So, I suspect that person was him."
"Zhao Guangchen, always Zhao Guangchen. They mentioned him this time too, saying that before boarding the plane, he delivered a letter of accusation, detailing the whole ins and outs of the affair."
"Nonsense, he's simply distorting the facts."
"So, I've already negotiated with them. Although they don't have any direct evidence, after paying a deposit, I can bail you out. Let's plan everything after we get out."
"Okay, I understand."
After speaking, he simply nodded his head. After waiting for a few minutes, a person walked in and he signed and applied his Hand Seals.
Subsequently, the shackles on Lin Yi were quickly unlocked.
Lin Yi gained his freedom, then stretched his waist. No matter what, at least now he could finally breathe free again.
As for the development of events afterward, all plans would have to wait until after getting out.
"Let's move quickly and leave."
Really, he didn't want to stay in this place a moment longer.
It's hard to describe the feeling—is it fear, or a sense of injustice?
"Sorry, you can't leave just yet."
At that moment, several uniformed people blocked them at the doorway again.
"I've already processed the bail, and according to your requirements, I've also paid the deposit. May I ask why we can't leave?"
While speaking, the lawyer showed them the bail document, gesturing with it in front of them.
"Initially, it was just a case of intentional injury, but we just got news from the hospital—Wang Guixiang is no longer alive."
"What did you say? Wang Guixiang, she's dead?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi's eyes widened in shock.
He had never imagined that Wang Guixiang would depart this world so quickly.
He hadn't had the chance to inquire into the particulars of the matter.
"Yes, she's dead. So now, you are a suspect, and the alleged crime is intentional homicide. According to the law, people suspected of intentional homicide are not eligible for bail. Sorry, please come back with me."
With that said, the officer pulled out a pair of handcuffs from his pocket.
Throughout his time here, they had never cuffed him.
But now it seemed the nature of the crime had changed.
The cold handcuffs were swiftly secured on Lin Yi's wrists.
He had never thought he would one day find himself in such dire straits.
"Don't worry, I'll apply for a search warrant on the outside. Inside, make sure you cooperate with them. And remember, don't talk carelessly about things you haven't done, understand?" Your adventure continues at empire
Lawyer Wang was well aware of the severity of the situation.
Now, getting him out was an utter fantasy.
He could only do his best, maneuvering from the outside,
Watching as his back receded, he could only shake his head helplessly before quickly leaving the place.
The first thing he did upon leaving was to directly call the old man.
Because he knew that the situation was beyond his control now.
If it was just up to him alone, it was unlikely he could clear Lin Yi's name.
The old man, after hearing about the situation, was truly astounded.
So all the evidence pointed toward him, suggesting things were very unfavorable for him now?
"Yes, that's right. Including the video and the drugs, everything points to Lin Yi. I'm sorry, what should we do now?"
"Lin Yi couldn't possibly have done this. Moreover, when he talked to me before, he mentioned this woman, saying she was really pitiable. How could he possibly strike at such a pitiful person?"
"Of course, I understand. You've already told me all the ins and outs of the matter. I suspect Zhao Guangchen set up a trap before he left. Go to his office and search thoroughly. Also, gather a list of everyone who has access to his office and investigate them all. If Lin Yi said there were no such drugs there before and they've suddenly appeared now, it means someone tampered with things.
That person is key, and we must find them."
"Yes, I think so too. But given my current identity, trying to do that is, I'm afraid..."
After all, he was a lawyer.
Anything illegal or overstepping boundaries was certainly out of his reach.
The reason he called the old man was because he knew only he could handle these matters.
