Chapter 416: The Exoneration Alliance (2/2)

Wang Xuebing and Xiaotao had met only once and he didn't even know her name. Additionally, he was present at the scene during the shooting so his testimony held more weight than mine. He was currently detained on charges of assault and attempted murder.

The ballistics report was even more unfavorable to Xiaotao. The muzzle of her gun was smoking at the time which proved she fired the gun. Although she claimed to have fired into the sky, the bullet was never found.

The bullet that hit the victim’s head was proven to have been shot from Xiaotao's gun by the rifling test. Technically, this couldn't be faked.

I looked at the signature below of the appraiser Li Yonggang. ”What’s the appraiser’s experience?”

Bingxin feigned surprise, ”Oh, why are you peeking at my dad's files?”

”Are you still pretending? Tell me!” I chided.

”Professor Li is a famous ballistics expert in the province and he has never made a mistake.”

”Has he traveled or taken a holiday recently?” I asked.

”That I don't know,” admitted Bingxin.

I believed Xiaotao didn't kill anyone so there must be falsehood in one of the links, perhaps the ballistics expert. I suspected he was one of the Dog Trainer’s subordinates.

Picking up the photos of the deceased, I examined every nook and cranny and finally noticed something suspicious. The man’s eyes were turned to the left, yet common sense dictated that he should be looking the gunman in the eye in the face of a threat.

Who was on his left?

It was Wang Xuebing who had chased after him!

There was a second possibility–Wang Xuebing was lying. But he was a 60-year-old veteran whose daughter had been murdered. It stands to reason that he couldn't wait to eat the murderer's flesh and drink his blood. Why did he lie?

The current situation was extremely unfavorable to Xiaotao. Since our opponent was the Dog Trainer, I had to assume everyone was a suspect!

I sighed, ”I wish I could check if Wang Xuebing is really the victim’s father.” Naturally, my words were aimed at Bingxin, my little spy who kept in touch with Sun Tiger.

”Song Yang-gege, are you done? My dad will kill us when he comes back.”

”I’m done! Let’s get out of here!”

I put the files away and left with Bingxin. ”Let's get shaved ice!”

I guessed she was up to some trick so I agreed.

The three of us headed to a cafe. At a table in an inconspicuous corner sat Dali and Wang Yuanchao. ”We meet again.”

“Dude, is it true what Song Xingchen told us this morning? Someone was going to kill us?” asked Dali.

”It's true!” I nodded.

All of us sitting at this table weren’t allowed to participate in the case. As we exchanged information with each other, I revealed that I was currently dealing with the Dog Trainer and omitted the task he put me up to.

After receiving the soil sample, Bingxin promised she would find a laboratory to test it.

Wang Yuanchao tried every means possible to meet Xiaotao yesterday. Apparently, she was in good spirits. Although the interrogators went hard on her, she stuck to her guns, insisting she never shot Qin Aonan.

”Did Xiaotao notice anything unusual at the time?” I asked.
