Chapter 234: The Most Bloodthirsty Website In All History (1/2)
The woman insisted that Young Master Wang raped her and the reporters had witnessed the scene with their own eyes so the young master was unable to justify himself.
Needless to say, Baldy must have arranged this. The triads were really resourceful to have so easily set up Young Master Wang for the blame.
In fact, this was nothing compared to what I had seen in another case where an officer had been set up. A gangster shot and killed someone, dug out the bullet and replaced it with a bullet from a police gun. Then, he stripped the body and dressed it in clothes that had the officer’s fingerprints, not forgetting to scatter some of the officer’s hair at the crime scene and forging his footprints. With all that “evidence,” the case was airtight. Although the officer was later cleared, he had already committed suicide with a sharpened toothbrush in prison.
How terrifying it was to offend the triads!
Young Master Wang vehemently shook the cell bars. ”Xiaotao, I was framed. They were colluding with each other and this guy must’ve done it!”
Xiaotao glanced at me in surprise but I calmly asked, ”How can you be so sure I did it?”
”Because yesterday, I...” the young master stopped abruptly.
While he hesitated, I was happy to go on speaking. ”What happened last night? Would you like to share it with the police?”
The rape accusation against him was false but it was true he had hired gangsters to hurt me. Afraid to continue on with the subject, he glared at me with hateful eyes.
”You better behave yourself!” warned Xiaotao.
When we turned around to leave, Young Master Wang heatedly maintained his innocence. ”Xiaotao, I didn’t do it. You have to believe me!”
Xiaotao couldn’t be bothered with him and asked me what happened last night instead. I narrated the whole incident with Dali as my witness.
”He deserves it!” laughed Xiaotao.
”What will you charge him with?” I asked.
”Right now, we don’t have much time so I can’t be bothered about him,” replied Xiaotao. “We’ll just charge him with rape. After all, we have the evidence.”
Young Master Wang was detained for only one morning before he was released on bail by his lawyer at noon. At the time, I happened to pass by the same corridor as him. ”Did you tell her everything?” demanded the young master.
”So you have the guts to do it but you’re afraid people will know?” I mocked in a tit-for-tat manner.
He gnashed his teeth, face contorting as he threatened, ”I'll get someone to rip off your tongue next time!”
I didn't think anything of his words at first. But just when Young Master Wang reached the door, a thought suddenly crossed my mind. ”Stop!” I yelled.
Words reflected the subconscious mind. What a person said could inadvertently reveal what they had seen or done. To give an example, once Dali asked the oldest in our dormitory, who was also on the board of the Student Union, how to write the word “wei” in “weiqu”(wronged). What the latter replied was: “Exactly how you write “wei” in “weiyuanhui”(committee).”
I was certain the young master’s use of words wasn’t without reason. Based on my intuition, I speculated that it had something to do with the case we were investigating.
Without wasting a moment, I walked up to Young Master Wang. ”Where did you see someone’s tongue being ripped out?” I asked, using Cave Vision to observe his body language.
Though well disguised, Young Master Wang still revealed a hint of panic. “I don't know what the hell you're talking about!” he argued.
”Are you familiar with the scene of a man in copper armor walking on fire?” I continued questioning him.
Beads of cold sweat wet his forehead as he bit his lower lip. ”I have matters to deal with so I don't have time for an idle chat with you. Goodbye!”
”Stop right there!” I commanded.
