Zhang Jinlei still tried to resist. ”Even if I don't have an alibi, you can't say that I'm the murderer. This is slander!”

Chen s.h.i.+ shook his head. ”Your problem is not that you don't have evidence of your absence, but that you can't produce evidence of your presence. During the two time periods when the murderer appeared, you couldn't clearly prove that you were at some location. In that case, if you were me, what would you think?”

”I... I refuse to answer.”

”You're exercising the right of silence that no one has bestowed you?” Chen s.h.i.+ smiled. ”Okay then. You drank a bottle of Red Label whiskey at the bar on the 7th, then drove away in a car that belongs to your mother. This car appeared at the scene where the corpse was abandoned at 8:00. How do you explain this?”

”How could I kill someone? How could I kill her with my own hands? At that time, we were just able to enter a band 1 university and we could soon be happily together. Why would I kill her?”

”You truly didn't kill her!”

Chen s.h.i.+ raised his voice and even Lin Qiupu was astonished. He stared at Zhang Jinlei's eyes and said, ”You killed all the other girls, except for her. As for the motive, I can't believe it even though I'm saying it out loud. Every year, you use the same method to recreate her death in order to keep the police investigating until the murderer is found! You haven't thought about the victims you used to draw our attention. They also have family members. Hence, the older sister of one of the girls secretly investigated you and she might have already known the truth. You killed her to prevent her from talking, but this accident also exposed you.”

”How could it be like this!” Lin Qiupu couldn't believe it and whispered.

Zhang Jinlei swallowed hard. ”Do you have any evidence?”

”We'll have some soon. You should calm down here first!”

Chen s.h.i.+ gave Lin Qiupu a meaningful glance and they temporarily left the interrogation room. Lin Qiupu asked, ”Is this true? Or is it just a random guess? If this is the motive for the murders, it's too unbelievable!”

”Relax, the evidence is on the way.”

While Zhang Jinlei and Xiao Ran were being brought in, the police were searching their residence. This had been arranged by Chen s.h.i.+.

At the same time, in another interrogation room, Lin Dongxue dropped a bombsh.e.l.l. ”I went to your alma mater and found that you had scored over 500 points in the college entrance examination six years ago, and had reached the band 1 level. However, you filled out band 3 universities as your choices.”

”It's my freedom to fill in whatever university I wanted to!” Xiao Ran said with her head down.

”Coincidentally, these band 3 universities happened to be the ones that Yan Qilin had filled in at the beginning. That is, they were the universities that Zhang Jinlei was going to attend regardless of his family's objection. But things took a new turn. During the summer vacation that year, the Zhang family made a compromise with their willful son, saying that they had gotten Yan Qilin a special enrollment opportunity in a band 1 university. Therefore, Zhang Jinlei still filled in band 1 universities according to his family's wishes but you could only go to a band 3 university.”

”...” Xiao Ran clenched her hands tightly, revealing her inner tension.

”Then I called the band 3 university. You had received the notice but you didn't enroll there. After that, you worked in Long'an until you moved in with Zhang Jinlei.”
