Han Yichen was in charge of accompanying Zhao Youming to see him bandaged. On one hand, it was because he was able to stand up to Zhao Youming, and on the other hand, he was worried that Zhao Youming would take advantage of this moment to sneak away.
Zhao Youming naturally knew this as well. He watched in fear as the doctor in the clinic bandaged him up. As he carefully observed Han Yichen, he tried to see the clues on Han Yichen’s face. At the same time, he began to think about it in his heart. What should he say when he went to the police station?
Yao Qingyan’s incident had happened abroad. The police station in Shalnork would not be able to do anything to him, even if they had evidence. The key now was to find a good reason to prevaricate with the former master.
Zhao Youming racked his brain, but he could not think of a countermeasure. For the first time, he wished that the doctor could bandage him up a little longer. However, he was only suffering from superficial injuries. It was just a bluff. It would not take long.
Zhao Youming originally planned to stall for some time, but Han Yichen seemed to have seen through his plan. He immediately dragged him to the police station.
By the time Zhao Youming and Han Yichen arrived at the police station, Zhao Youlin and the others had basically completed their statements. Although it was considered a case of assault, in reality, Zhao Youlin and the others were not prepared to defend Zhao Youming.
After Zhao Youming arrived at the police station, he faced the gazes of Zhao Youlin and the others and explained everything that had happened. Of course, according to Zhao Youming’s words, everything that he said was naturally beneficial to himself.
When Mu Chen heard Zhao Youming’s confession, the pen in his hand paused slightly. His expression also became a little ugly. “Mr. Zhao, there’s something that I might need to tell you in advance. The police station is not like other places. If you lie in this place, we have the right to impose some necessary punishment on you. I hope you can cooperate with our work well.”
Zhao Youming’s face froze. His eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Mu Chen, as if he had heard something shocking.
However, Zhao Youming quickly regained his composure and said with a solemn face, “Officer, are you trying to extort a confession through torture? So this is how the police handle cases nowadays. It’s really an eye-opener.”
Seeing him like this, Mu Chen could not help but frown again. He said in a deep voice, “Mr. Zhao, please watch your words. The reason why I’m telling you this is because we’ve already taken statements from Miss Yao and a few witnesses. The two statements are basically the same. But Mr. Zhao’s current statement…”
Zhao Youming’s expression changed, and he looked at Zhao Youlin and the others who were sitting not far away in disbelief.
Their statements were actually the same as that woman’s. Did this mean that they were on that woman’s side? Even if they were not on her side, they should be standing in a neutral position. This was hard for him to accept.
When he realized this, Zhao Youming’s heart turned a little cold. A wave of negative emotions suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart. His face was frighteningly gloomy.
“Mr. Zhao? Mr. Zhao?” Mu Chen looked at Zhao Youming’s unpredictable expression and could not help but call out to him a few times. However, there was a hint of impatience in his tone.
Zhao Youming seemed to have woken up from a dream as he stammered, “I-I understand. I’m sorry, I was a little too emotional just now. I’ll cooperate with you from now on.”
Mu Chen nodded, but Zhao Youming’s words had clearly lowered his impression of him in Mu Chen’s heart, so much so that Mu Chen added without a trace, “I know that people will always unconsciously want to protect themselves and favor themselves, but there’s only one truth. Mr. Zhao’s thoughts are understandable, but don’t treat us executive officers as fools.”
Zhao Youming could only hear the sarcasm in his words, and his face turned uglier and uglier. But he also knew that this was not a place where he could behave atrociously, so he could only silently endure it and said through gritted teeth, “I understand.”
With this opening, the situation of the statement after that was relatively smooth. After all, Zhao Youming was injured, so he was indeed the victim. However, Zhao Youming wanted to hide the events that started all this. However, while he thought so, others might not think so.
After listening to Zhao Youming’s story, Mu Chen suddenly said, “Mr. Zhao, about what Miss Yao just said, she attacked you because you killed her sister overseas and pushed her off a high-rise building. That’s why she holds a grudge against you. She attacked you with a knife and wants to avenge her sister. Do you have anything to say about that?”
When Zhao Youming heard Mu Chen’s words, his face changed again. He never thought that Zhao Youlin and the others would actually let that woman tell the others about this matter at the police station. After all, if this matter were to spread… it would definitely affect the reputation of the entire Zhao family.
Zhao Youming felt his heart grow colder and colder. Everything seemed to have slipped out of his control in an instant, causing him to be indescribably fearful.
“Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao…” Mu Chen saw that Zhao Youming was starting to lose his focus again, so he hurriedly called out to him a few more times. However, from Zhao Youming’s expression, he could see where this was going.
Mu Chen looked young, but he had received dozens of cases, if not hundreds. He had seen a lot, and he could even make out tiny clues, not to mention Zhao Youming, who was obviously panicking. He had already exposed his guilty conscience.
“Mr. Zhao, please answer my question.” Mu Chen called for a long time, but Zhao Youming did not respond. He could not help but raise his voice.
Zhao Youming jumped in fright and bit his lip. He said in a low voice, “That thing is a lie. It was Miss Yao who slandered me. I didn’t kill anyone. She’s just making things up to appear justified. I can’t believe it.”
“Can you have faith that the police will make their own judgment from events? Now that Miss Yao has established a case with us and submitted evidence, we will ask people to distinguish the authenticity of Miss Yao’s evidence. However, as the defendant of this murder case, Mr. Zhao, please be mentally prepared. In the near future, you may be subject to our investigation and interrogation at any time. That’s basically all I have to say. Do you have any questions now, Mr. Zhao?”
Zhao Youming heard that Yao Qingtao had already filed a case and even submitted evidence. The most depressing thing was that the policeman was clearly intent on investigating it thoroughly. The expression on his face became more and more conflicted. He spoke stubbornly, “Of… Of course, it’s only natural for us to cooperate with the police. I believe that the police will definitely find out the truth about such a fabricated accusation and clear my name. However, I would like to ask, can such a case that happened abroad be under Shalnorkian jurisdiction?”
