After a short interrogation, Treadmill’s statement somewhat matched Zhou JingJing’s first half. Zhou JingJing was in the bathroom for around two minutes or so. Treadmill had the urgency to pee, so he banged on the door, only to find that it was locked. Then, he changed directions to the outside of the ship. He found a corner to release his pee. Afterwards, he stood near the front end of the ship to ponder about his life before returning to the reception hall.

Who would’ve thought that the moment he entered into the reception hall, HuJun would stab him with the dagger. Everything that happened afterwards was what everyone had saw.

“Do you believe that you aren’t lying? Do you know that there is leniency in being frank, and punishment for lying?” Han GuangMing questioned Treadmill.

“Squad leader Han, don’t treat me like I am a criminal already. I really didn’t do it. Even if the thought had crossed my mind, don’t you think this is inappropriate time to do so! This would be adding more trouble onto Elder Liu!” Treadmill quickly said.

“So you’re saying that if there was a better time, you might think of doing it?” Han GuangMing picked at the statement.

“No, I really didn’t mean it that way. Sigh…even if I wanted to do it, I wouldn’t rape his wife! What kind of person do you think I am? Damn! I am really unlucky. To be caught up in this type of situation! From the looks of it, I can tell that when you had the chance to split into teams earlier, you didn’t let HuJun be team leader. So he was very unwilling when I was ordering him to do things. He has been holding that grudge this whole time and felt dissatisfied! I bet he took this chance to ruin me so he can step all over me. He is that type of person…” Treadmill started jabbering again.

“Okay, stop nagging! Take us to the scene!” Han GuangMing told Treadmill.

“I didn’t commit it, so what scene?” Treadmill was dumbfounded.

“The place where you peed…where you were pondering about life. To see if you are lying.” Han GuangMing said to Treadmill.

The three of them left the interrogation cabin, the footprints in the bathroom were indistinguishable from one another. This was because the team members wore new shoes taken from the warehouse, so nearly all the shoeprints were the same. There was no way to confirm that the footsteps were from Treadmill.

The place Treadmill said he took his leak had traces of piss. In addition, the location where he stood, thinking about life, also had footprints. However, these pieces of evidence couldn’t be used to prove an alibi during the time frame when the crime was committed, it could only prove that Treadmill had evidence of not being in the washroom.

Upon returning to the interrogation cabin, Treadmill still insisted on being innocent. He also swore deadly oaths to proclaim his innocence.

“Leave for now, please let therapist Huang come in.” Han GuangMing interrupted Treadmill, otherwise, Treadmill would continue talking until dawn.

“Elder Liu! You must return my innocence! The title of a rapist isn’t a good reputation. HuJun was lying to frame me…” Treadmill started turning to Liu Gan to plead.
