Xue Zhiwen was initially composed, but Luo Fei's enigmatic words left him a bit puzzled.
However, he still demonstrated an extraordinary level of psychological resilience.
At monts like this, there's a high chance of being tested, so he forcibly maintained his calm, smiling as he looked at Luo Fei.
"Officer Luo, I've said it many tis, this is just a misunderstanding!"
"When you ca to investigate earlier, I was very cooperative, and the reasons were explained clearly. How could the suspect's case have anything to do with ?"
"Moreover, we shouldn't make an issue out of the closeness of my relationship with Duan Ying as a classmate..."
"If we're really probing intimate relationships, I think his family might have bigger issues. Why not call his parents and relatives to get so answers, Officer Luo?"
Liao Xingyu couldn't remain calm upon hearing Xue Zhiwen's mocking tone.
"Xue Zhiwen! Watch your attitude!"
The emotions displayed by Duan Ying's father, whether at the police station or at school, had been deeply moving.
A father had been hurt so profoundly, yet here he was, brazenly spouting nonsense, trying to muddy the waters. How outrageous.
"Old Liao, don't be rash."
Luo Fei raised a hand to stop him. This was a battle of patience; he had to wait.
The key person hadn't arrived yet; the real show hadn't begun.
Similarly, Xue Zhiwen, sitting opposite, would occasionally glance at the clock above, his eyes showing a hint of anticipation.
"Xue Zhiwen, regarding so evidence found on campus, I hope you can provide an explanation."
Zhao Donglai fixed his eyes on him, picking up two surveillance video screenshots.
"According to the dates calculated, on the day Duan Ying was murdered, you were seen coming down from the floor of the teaching building where the murder took place. You had no scheduled teaching plans for that day. What were you doing there?"
"Oh, officer, which day was it exactly? I really can't rember. Since the start of the new school term, I've had many work arrangents, and my head's just a little mixed up."
As he spoke, Xue Zhiwen habitually pointed to his head, putting on a very apologetic expression.
Outside, Zhang Wei and others could hardly restrain themselves from rushing in.
Xue Zhiwen's act was incredibly clumsy and annoying.
Just monts ago, he analyzed things, articulating his disconnection from the case clearly and logically. Now suddenly, he starts playing dumb.
The way he toyed with the police was infuriating.
Luo Fei answered him, specifying the ti in great detail, down to the exact day of the week and even the specific ti of day.
Although this approach might not greatly impact soone as sly as Xue Zhiwen, he didn't mind.
Now, the interrogation was rely procedural.
It was both to exert pressure and to bide ti, to see if Xue Zhiwen could hold out.
"Oh, that day, I really can't recall, especially with such specific timing... I might have gone to the bathroom."
"After all, it's been so ti, and it's hard to rember campus matters that specifically."
At this point, Xue Zhiwen's expression turned eerie.
"Officer Luo, since there are unpredictabilities in life, I couldn't have known Duan Ying would et with harm that day. How could I pay special attention to sothing like that? Don't you think...?"
Just then, the door suddenly opened, revealing Luo Zhiwei, pale-faced, along with Lin Jie and others.
It appeared there was an unexpected developnt!
Luo Fei guessed who had arrived, and so did Xue Zhiwen.
The two exchanged smiles; Luo Fei knew what Xue Zhiwen was smiling about, but Xue Zhiwen did not know why Luo Fei smiled.
There was no tacit understanding at this mont, only one in the dark, and the other seeing the whole picture.
"What did you say?"
In the eting room, Zhao Donglai slapped the table in anger.
"If she says she's a suspect, she's a suspect? Where's the evidence? Have her bring out the evidence; this accusation is not one she can casually accept! How can a girl be so insane, utterly without decorum!"
Faced with Zhao Donglai's furious outburst, Luo Fei quickly stepped in to calm him down.
The situation indeed ca abruptly.
Just minutes ago, Pan Yuqi, a junior from the Polytechnic University, appeared at the police station to confess, claiming to be the initial murderer of Duan Ying, exonerating Xue Zhiwen.
Pan Yuqi showed no fear, spoke clearly, and with firm conviction.
Even Zhang Wei, who was receiving her, was taken aback.
No one expected such a twist in the events!
Yet, all this was within Luo Fei's expectations. Given the relationship between those two, it was inevitable that Pan Yuqi would step up to take the bla.
"What is the situation with those two? Soone even stepping up to confess?"
Zhao Donglai was baffled at this point, while Luo Fei started explaining the relationship between the two.
He also discussed the previously gathered evidence, including ntioning the instance of poisoning his food.
Hearing this from Luo Fei, Zhao Donglai broke out in a cold sweat.
No one anticipated such extre actions!
It seed that the student-teacher relationship had reached an insane level, involving murder and even intentions to kill a police officer!
Who knew who the psychopath was and who the naive one was.
"Luo Fei, what are you planning to do?"
"The current situation is unfavorable to us, as the girl is likely entrenched in extre thoughts and consciousness. Xue Zhiwen must have co prepared this ti, so we must not act rashly, regardless of what happens. Stay calm and don't get impulsive."
"Rember, I have a plan! And I'm prepared! Eventually, all the wrongdoers will be brought to justice, and none of them will escape."
Upon hearing Luo Fei's assurance, everyone nodded in agreent.
Although Zhang Wei and the others were still furious, they accepted the plan.
Had soone else made such a guarantee, there might have been doubt, but coming from Luo Fei, it signified absolute trust.
Therefore, they returned to interrogate the two again.
Xue Zhiwen was no longer the focus; the main focus was Pan Yuqi.
The first step in Luo Fei's plan was to counsel her, encouraging her to reveal the relationship between them.
He had already guessed there must be an emotional entanglent, or else they wouldn't both be drawn into the matter of Duan Ying.
But now, it wasn't just Pan Yuqi involved in the murder; Luo Fei understood that Xue Zhiwen was inevitably a participant.
It's unbelievable that they would let a girl take the fall!
"Pan Yuqi, you should think this through."
"What you're about to do concerns yourself, so I hope you consider carefully. Murder and intentional homicide aren't charges you can just take on lightly, and the laws of our country certainly won't allow such a ridiculous thing. What exactly is your relationship with Xue Zhiwen? What did he do!"
Luo Fei presented his most authoritative deanor, hoping to overpower her.
Yet Pan Yuqi sat quietly, her face blank. Her eyes showed no hesitation, only steadfast determination.
It was as if she was ready to face death with composure, as though even execution would be accepted.
"Officer, I'm the one who killed them. There's really no doubt about it."
"In the equipnt room of the teaching building, you'll find our footprints, left in the blood. It was just the two of us there at the ti, and I've brought the murder weapon that killed Duan Ying."
"What did you say?"
Zhao Donglai, already looking grim, felt his composure breaking upon hearing her.
She brought the weapon along to clear Xue Zhiwen's na!
The importance of handling the murder weapon cannot be overstated, but this girl kept the most crucial piece of evidence all along, just to protect that beastly man at a critical mont.
"You..."
Zhao Donglai wanted to say more, but she had already retrieved a knife sealed in a bag from her bag, placing it on the table—blood on the knife dried, indicating it's been preserved for so ti.
"My fingerprints are on this."
"I'm the one who killed them, officer. This has nothing to do with Professor Xue."
This statent left the officers present stunned.
This girl... is insane!
"Officer, I confess!"
Saying this, she raised her hands, eyes clear and earnest.
