Chapter 327: The Truth Behind The Possession (1/2)

He even hired some gangsters to cripple the hospital director who refused to help him all those years ago!

And as for friends who turned their backs on him when he needed money, he framed them for crimes they didn’t commit, plunging them into destitution, even forcing one of them to the point of suicide.

But these were all old cases. Although he was suspected of breaking the law, he didn’t actually do anything illegal so the police could only keep him in detention for a day.

Judging from his extreme character, his choice of seeking revenge instead of calling the police seemed perfectly reasonable.

Xu Zhipeng confessed to his crimes but there were two aspects different from what we imagined–Xiao Xia’s death and the ring. He insisted he never ordered her murder; he only threw her into the wild. It was difficult to investigate the truth behind this matter because the gangster thugs he hired had already been executed for other crimes.

As for the rings, he claimed they didn’t belong to him. Buying the jewelry store had nothing to do with it. It was transferred to him by another CEO at a low price.

His denial meant he wasn’t willing to admit to the murder!

Although the police were tough on him, we didn’t actually have key evidence. Even if the case progressed to court, it would be difficult to convict him.

Xiaotao suggested we conduct an in-depth and thorough investigation of Xu Zhipeng until evidence of murder was found. ”Don't worry about that for now,” I said. “Let’s take a break and relax for the next two days. Maybe watch a movie, have a hair spa, or have a meal with a handsome consultant.”

”Song Yang, ever since you came back from the party the other day, you’ve been acting all strange,” remarked Xiaotao. “What are you up to?”

”Would you like to know?” I laughed. “Let's go out and visit someone!”

I was going to take Ding Xu back to the place where the body was found. Ding Xu was still dressed in women's wear. These two days of “being alive” had improved his spirits. He was chattering about cosmetics and delicious food the entire time.

When we arrived at the outskirts, Ding Xu's expression turned ugly as he clamored to leave. ”Take me back! I want to go back!”

”You better cooperate with us,” I said. “We’ll only stay for five minutes and I'll buy you a pretty dress when we get back, alright?”

Ding Xu shook his head, ”Hmph, would a loser like you have any money?”

I felt the urge to swear but I refrained.

”Mm-hmm,” nodded Xiaotao. Then, turning to me, she whispered, ”Why did you bring him here?”

”For an exorcism!” I smiled cryptically.

”Xiao Xia,” I said, stopping Ding Xu. “We’ve discovered your identity. You were originally a waitress but because you looked like Lang Jun's first love, you were chosen by Xu Zhipeng as a commercial spy. The life of lying made you depressed so you found a friend online to share your troubles with. This body belongs to that friend–Ding Xu!”

Ding Xu blinked his exaggerated false eyelashes, ”What about it?”

”The whole case began with your narrative which is completely subjective,” I began. “The three of you have your own versions of the story and each person’s narrative has a strong subjective tendency. The version you provided set us down this path, but looking back now, there are many loopholes in your statements!”
