Chapter 490 Verdict

“Yes!” Lian Muchen answered firmly.

Bai Mengfei immediately questioned, "That's impossible! If he really is a criminal police officer as you say, then there's no reason why he wouldn't know that water cannot completely wash away bloodstains."

Lian Muchen remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking: "First of all, he is not an ordinary criminal police officer; secondly, I never said that he washed away the bloodstains, that was just your speculation."

"Then let's talk about the specific circumstances of the day the incident occurred," Xiang Yuntian suggested.

Lian Muchen nodded and continued, "Okay. On the day of the incident, I went to see Cai'er as usual. I offered to help her get rid of her current life and start over, but she refused."

"Why did you refuse?" Bai Mengfei pressed.

After a moment of contemplation, Lian Muchen said, "Because she is a very strong-willed person and is unwilling to accept help from others to change her situation."

"I understand." Bai Mengfei took a deep breath and nodded. "And then what happened?"

"After she rejected me, I had no choice but to go back to the pharmacy. Actually, it wasn't raining that hard on the day of the incident, so I wasn't in a hurry to go back. After leaving, I went back to her place, and unexpectedly, through the door, I witnessed the entire murder."

"So, it was your childhood friend who killed her?" Xiang Yuntian asked.

"Yes."

Lian Muchen said definitively, “After that, I saw him take the body to the park where you found it. I had mixed feelings at the time. After he left, I was still thinking about saving Cai’er, so I gave her acupuncture. But just then, I felt someone coming, and in a panic, I left, pretending to call the police, and even lit a cigarette.”

"So, you left that cigarette butt there?" Wang Tian asked.

"Yes. But then I realized that no one was coming, and I gradually calmed down. I realized that Cai'er couldn't be saved, and thinking about protecting my friend, I went back to the crime scene to clean up the traces for him. I even smoked a cigarette while I was in the bathroom. I guess the cigarette butt is still there, right?"

“Yes, we found out,” Bai Mengfei replied.

Lian Muchen's lips curled up, revealing a faint smile.

After carefully reviewing the case, Xiang Yuntian asked, "Then why are you willing to talk now? Didn't you refuse to talk before?"

Lian Muchen sighed deeply and explained, "Because this matter concerns my life, I have no choice but to expose him."

"No!" Bai Mengfei interrupted him again, "If it's really as you say, and you cleaned up the scene, then why didn't you take the photo of you and Cai'er?"

“What’s so strange about that?” Lian Muchen laughed. “Because I know that leaving the group photo there will actually help to eliminate my suspicion. You’ll all think that since the murderer cleaned up the scene, seeing the group photo would make him feel guilty and he would take the photo. But I’m not the murderer, so I can leave the group photo there with a clear conscience.”

Upon hearing this, Bai Mengfei turned to look at Xiang Yuntian, seeking his opinion with her eyes.

Xiang Yuntian nodded slightly and said to Bai Mengfei, "Tell Captain Zhao about this."

“Okay!” Bai Mengfei quickly took out her phone, called Zhao Fei, and reported the situation to him.

Zhao Fei immediately rushed back to the police station and began the investigation.

Unexpectedly, the investigation revealed that the deputy director was actually Lian Muchen's childhood friend. Despite the deputy director's position, Zhao Fei, influenced by Bai Mengfei and others, and relying on his status as the team leader, resolutely arrested him.

This action may seem somewhat insubordinate, but Zhao Fei did it without hesitation.

After bringing the deputy director to the interrogation room, Zhao Fei began to question him.

However, the deputy director had an alibi, claiming that he was investigating another case at the time.

As for his past relationship with Cai'er, that is indeed true.

"Who were you investigating that other case with?" Zhao Fei asked directly.

After a moment's thought, the deputy director named one of his trusted confidants, saying that this person could testify on his behalf. Zhao Fei summoned the confidant and questioned him, and the information was confirmed.

Both of their statements sounded plausible, leaving Zhao Fei unsure of whom to believe.

Left with no other option, Zhao Fei had to ask Bai Mengfei and the others for their opinions.

Upon hearing this, Bai Mengfei immediately said, "Let's choose to believe the deputy director. After all, Lian Muchen gives me a very gloomy feeling, and it's really hard to say how credible his words are. In my opinion, his credibility is definitely not high."

Xiang Yuntian and Wang Tian did not express their opinions.

So Zhao Fei summoned Lian Muchen that very night and solemnly reminded him: "Do you know what the consequences of giving a false statement will be?"

But then Lian Muchen laughed and said, "I didn't give a false statement; I just told you a story. What, you believe me?"

Wang Tian immediately felt she had been tricked, slammed her hand on the table in anger, and shouted, "How dare you lie to the police?"

"I have no ill intentions, is this illegal?" Lian Muchen said arrogantly.

Bai Mengfei watched him quietly, wondering what he was thinking. But no matter what, she felt that Lian Muchen was the one who knew the truth.

As for whether he is the real murderer, it's hard to say. Of course, he would need to confess himself. After all, despite such a thorough investigation, no conclusive clues have been found.

After interrogating Lian Muchen again, Zhao Fei decided to search his pharmacy and home to see if he could find any clues.

So, the next morning, Zhao Fei applied for a search warrant from the court and searched Lian Muchen's home.

As a result, several novels on criminal psychology were found on the headboard of Lian Muchen's bed, and a dagger was found under his bed.

This dagger is very likely the murder weapon.

After finding this evidence, Zhao Fei immediately charged Lian Muchen with murder. Due to the overwhelming evidence, Lian Muchen was found guilty of murder and sentenced to death.

Because the dagger was indeed the murder weapon, and it was indeed found in his home.

Bai Mengfei couldn't understand Lian Muchen's attitude during the interrogation and the story he fabricated. Out of curiosity, she approached Xiang Yuntian and they went to visit Lian Muchen together.

"Did you really kill that person?" Bai Mengfei asked.

Lian Muchen retorted, "Does that matter? Isn't the evidence already conclusive? The court has already delivered its verdict."

He was unusually calm as he spoke, not at all like someone who had committed a crime of passion.
