His Genius Wife is a Superstar Chapter 1318

Chapter 1318 - Death Sentence

In the next few days, Iris calmed down and stopped trying to think about the grand piano she owned in her past life as Evelina Vetrova. 

She found time whenever the twins were either sleeping or being minded by others like her mother-in-law and Grandpa Lu to continue tackling all the stalled investigations with Ketchup and Bacon. 

It had come to her attention that her brother was now in the process of trying to acquire all the Vetrov treasures that they could find. She wasn't surprised.

There was no point in trying to stop her brother when he had already set his mind into doing something. Just like her, Nikolai Vetrov could be quite willful. They were indeed siblings.

All she could do was to assist his acquisition of the Vetrov treasures through Bacon and make sure that his actions were as covert as possible to avoid arousing the alarm and suspicion of the enemies.

At the moment, she already moved on to another task. This was a task that had been stalled for quite a long time already.

She pulled out the file on Tian Kong, the young man who caused the bomb incident at the mall show that injured many people including Iris, Jin Chonglin, their fans and other innocent bystanders. 

Official police records showed that his home was filled with Iris Long's photos, posters, music and other memorabilia. He was labelled as an obsessed fan who became twisted from extreme jealousy after Iris and Jin Liwei publicly confirmed their relationship.

Back then, Tian Kong "confessed" to the police that it was Zhu Ning, Long Jian's mother, who was the mastermind of the whole bomb incident. He claimed that he and Zhu Ning were lovers. He even released a sex video of the two of them to prove their affair. 

Zhu Ning allegedly knew about his unhealthy obsession for Iris Long and used it to control him. She successfully directed him to bomb Iris' mall show.

The result was that Tian Kong was arrested and so did Zhu Ning. Long Tengfei's former mistress became an instant social pariah. The insults thrown at her by the general public were all brutal.

This prompted her son, Long Jian, to lower his pride and beg for Iris and Jin Liwei's help in person to get his mother out of jail. After agreeing to a temporary alliance, Iris gathered enough evidence to prove Zhu Ning's innocence, including the proof that the sex video of her and Tian Kong was fake. Then Jin Liwei took care of the rest. 

Zhu Ning was successfully released from jail. This earned Long Jian's gratitude towards Iris and Jin Liwei.

Now that Zhu Ning was out of the picture, Iris focused on Tian Kong's claims. Since Zhu Ning's innocence had already been proven, it meant that his confession about their affair was a lie.

Therefore, it was only reasonable to assume that his other claims were also not entirely true. 

Iris doubted that he was really her obsessed fan who turned into a hater after she and Jin Liwei became an official couple. She thought that it was just a diversion tactic to shift the attention away from the real mastermind.

She didn't believe this story at all, neither did Jin Liwei and Lu Zihao.

By this time, Tian Kong had already been long transferred into a high-security prison. The Chief of Police was personally handling his case. 

If Iris was having trouble finding concrete clues about the real mastermind behind Tian Kong, how could the authorities find anything useful before her?

There was a disturbing lack of evidence after all this time. Despite this, Tian Kong was still sentenced the death penalty for his crime.

There might not be any deaths from the bomb incident but he caused a startling number of injuries, many of them severe. Some of the victims had to live with physical disabilities for the rest of their lives, not to mention the mental trauma they incurred.

It might not be the perfect solution but Iris, Jin Liwei, Jin Chonglin and even Long Tengfei were all contributing together to provide lifetime support for the disabled victims from the bomb incident.

Tian Kong's crime was unforgivable. If things went according to his original evil plan, then the death toll would be unimaginable. 

Iris might have been killed for the second time around.

Since his arrest, there had been several attempts to kill off Tian Kong even when he was already inside the high-security prison. Fellow prisoners, wardens, other staff, and even visitors had been stopped in time before they could murder Tian Kong.

It was obvious that someone wanted him dead.

At the same time, he was also on suicide watch. He already attempted to kill himself a few times but was always unsuccessful.

It was a good thing that the Chief of Police was a capable man who had excellent command of the majority of the force. He wouldn't allow Tian Kong to die before his death sentence.

Critics of the Police Chief faulted him for wasting state funds. Just let the criminal die, they said. Why wait until the scheduled death sentence? The preparations for the death penalty cost money.

If they just let the criminal be killed off by his attempted murderers, then the money reserved for his death sentence could be used in other areas with more urgent needs.

Iris sighed while reading the current situation at the high-security prison. She understood the radical sentiments of the Police Chief's critics. However, she knew why the Chief of Police wasn't allowing Tian Kong to be killed just like that.

He was most likely hoping to find concrete clues about the real mastermind behind Tian Kong before his execution. The bombing incident was considered as a terrorist attack. Being unable to find the real mastermind behind a terrorist attack was too dangerous.

As the Chief of Police, he had the duty to protect his country and his fellow citizens. Terrorist attacks were unforgivable and should be stopped before they happened.

Although Iris still didn't feel completely comfortable with the police due to her past life as a Vetrov, she couldn't stop herself from admiring the Chief of Police.. He was, without a doubt, a man of strong and upright principles.
