Meng Chi sat still.
Bai Muchuan cleared his throat. “He was able to get the timing right. That day was Xiang Wan’s birthday and she was in Jin City. He might not have known which one of us would go to Jin City since Xiang Wan and myself hadn’t gotten back together then. However, that was not important as he only required you to hold the gun, kill someone and take the blame for him officially…”
Meng Chi remained silent.
“When Xiang Wan got kidnapped to Wen Xin Nunnery, you and Yu Ning were in a leisure resort in Nanmu. When Lima and Abdul died from a car crash, you were held in the Criminal Investigation Unit in Xi City… Truth is, we do not have direct evidence on you. Even though we have the recording samples of your voice at Wen Xin Nunnery and Lima’s house; even though Yu Bo stated clearly that he had seen you and that you’re the one who asked him to kill the victims of the 121 case; even if Ye Lun testifies against you that he saw you and Yu Bo inside a car… The murder charges that the police want to pin on you, are simply not strong enough!”
“…”
“Tu Liang’s death is actually the key that could make you receive a death sentence.”
The girls who died in the 121 case.
The murderer was Yu Bo.
This had already been confirmed.
With regards to Yu Bo’s statement that Meng Chi was the one who made him do all of that, as he had some mental problems, his statement would be controversial in the eyes of law…
As for the incident at Vulture’s Mouth, it was directed by Cui Ming.
For Cui Ming, Lima and Abdul, the police only had Meng Chi’s voice recording as evidence…
Nevertheless, in this modern era, it was not a problem to synthesize someone’s voice.
“Xie Wanwan told me that she had asked you personally if you’re the one who did all of that… You asked her if she would believe you if you told her that you didn’t do it.”
“…”
“She didn’t believe you and even told you that she fell in love with a man…”
“…”
“You told her that you’re not a good person but you’re not a bad person either.”
“…”
“Meng Chi, you still have a chance to tell us that you didn’t kill Tu Liang.”
“…”
Silence took over.
Meng Chi was still the same, his head was lowered and he didn’t say a word.
“Cough! Cough, cough…”
Bai Muchuan started to cough again.
In the visiting room, only the sounds of his coughing were heard.
The atmosphere was cold and lonely.
The few of them were quiet and did not interrupt.
When Bai Muchuan stopped coughing, he drank another mouthful of water.
“You have seen a psychiatrist and there are also medical records about your Dissociative Identity Disorder in the dossier. But did you really think that you can get away unscathed using that excuse with your strong team of lawyers?”
Meng Chi was taken aback for a moment. “…”
There was a significant change in his expression.
Bai Muchuan gave a smile casually. “So, you accepted Ye Lun’s deal and took the rap for him?”
“…” Meng Chi remained silent.
“Before I came here, I had no idea what kind of relationship you have with Ye Lun that you have to do this for him… However, when I talked to you earlier, I suddenly realized…” Bai Muchuan got up from his chair and walked towards Meng Chi, looking at him as well as his handcuffs. “The one you want to protect is Xie Wanwan.”
Meng Chi lifted his head suddenly.
“I don’t know what you are talking about.”
“I said, you don’t like men. The one you like is Xie Wanwan.”
“…”
Every word of his was powerful.
Meng Chi, however, his reaction wasn’t as great as others expected.
No one was sure if he’d gotten infected by Bai Muchuan’s coughing as he started to cough as well.
“Second Young Master Mu is indeed Second Young Master Mu. Your ability to make up stories is astonishing. I’m so engrossed in your story but…”
He looked at Bai Muchuan coldly. “Take it that the one I want to protect is Xie Wanwan and that the real murderer is Ye Lun, what do these two have to do with each other?”
Bai Muchuan showed a confident smile. “It’s simple! The reason why Ye Lun kidnapped Xie Wanwan is to show you that it’s as simple as killing an ant if he wanted to kill Xie Wanwan or land you in prison… After all, he could synthesize your voice, manipulate Brother Steel and even kill Cui Ming. He directed such a magnificent case at Vulture’s Mouth. To him, killing Xie Wanwan is nothing.”
This reversal was too fast.
Inside the visiting room, the two prison guards were shocked.
Even Huang He didn’t expect to hear that.
Prior to coming to see Meng Chi, Bai Muchuan did not tell Huang He what he had intended to do.
As the two of them conversed with each other, it turned out that what they had previously believed in was completely overturned, which was appalling for them.
Only Meng Chi was calm about it.
He lifted his head to look at Bai Muchuan whose back was facing the light.
He couldn’t see Bai Muchuan’s eyes clearly but he could feel the imposing pressure from him.
“Meng Chi, you still don’t want to talk about it?”
