Chapter 238 - Chapter 238: Chapter 178: If it were me, you wouldnt see the victim. (2/2)
This photo depicted the two mummified corpses inside Seven Stars Lu King Palace.
Their bodies shriveled, looking much like mummies.
One of the mummies was face down, lying straight, its palm tightly gripping the ground.
There was a hole in the light green clothing on its back, and one could faintly discern a different color on the fabric around the hole in the back.
It appeared to be bloodstains.
The other mummy was curled up entirely, hunched over in a ball, with both hands clutching its abdomen, likely struck there, with faint, different traces on the ground.
“Don’t recognize them.”
Lin Chuan looked at the photos and simply said: “However.”
“However, what?”
He Zhi’s eyebrows shot up as he asked.
“This wasn’t my doing.” Lin Chuan laughed lightly and stated plainly.
“Huh?”
He Zhi’s eyebrows knitted together, his expression puzzled.
In the interrogation room, the lighting wasn’t particularly bright, casting Lin Chuan’s face in stark relief, which seemed somewhat mysterious.
Lin Chuan looked up at Officer He Zhi, who had come all the way from Linyi, smiled, and said: “Officer He, you might not know me well. If I had done it, you wouldn’t be seeing these two people.”
“Huh?”
He Zhi’s expression tensed, and his eyebrows instantly furrowed into a deep ‘Chuan’ shape, “What did you just say?”
Lin Chuan’s demeanor remained calm as he repeated, “If it had been my doing, you wouldn’t be seeing these two people.”
Hisss!
He Zhi appeared stern, staring intently at Lin Chuan, then turned to look at Shen Qianqian.
Shen Qianqian actually nodded and added, “Officer He, you can trust Comrade Lin Chuan on this point. If these two had indeed been killed by Lin Chuan, then they would never have appeared before your eyes.”
What?
He Zhi’s mouth hung open slightly as he was taken aback.
Looking at Shen Qianqian, who was assisting with the interrogation, he said bewilderedly, “Officer Shen, I don’t understand what you’re saying.”
Shen Qianqian smiled and explained, “Comrade Lin Chuan has written a book called ‘This Assassin Is Too Professional,’ which is recommended reading for our Anling Criminal Police Team. You might want to give it a read.”
“Officer Shen, now is not the time to recommend novels. Lin Chuan’s attitude is overly arrogant!” He Zhi lowered his voice and whispered to Shen Qianqian beside him.
“Let’s step outside to talk.” Shen Qianqian directly led He Zhi out of the interrogation room.
Outside the interrogation room.
Shen Qianqian glanced at Lin Chuan, who sat obediently inside the interrogation room and let out a quiet sigh of relief.
If the details of the Seven Stars Lu King Palace in “Touch Gold Notes” matched those in reality, it could indicate Lin Chuan’s involvement in tomb-robbing.
But!
The emergence of a murder case virtually ruled out the suspicion against Lin Chuan.
“When Lin Chuan said that if it were his doing, we wouldn’t be seeing those two people, that…” He Zhi struggled to describe his own feelings at the moment.
He felt that Lin Chuan’s words were boastful and arrogant.
“Officer He, you are not familiar with Comrade Lin Chuan since it’s your first time dealing with him. The investigation has come this far, and we can essentially rule out his involvement in the case.”
Shen Qianqian’s lips curved into a small smile, her tone light.
