Chapter 9: Full-scale Boss Has Become the Top Streamer In the Entertainment Industry

 Chapter 9: Clearing the Suspicion

Fu Shimo placed the cap back on his pen with one hand, removed his gold-framed glasses from his nose, and leaned back in his chair. "My major wasn't forensic medicine."

 

The male police officer across the table slammed his fist on the desk, his voice rising in frustration. "Your major may not be forensic medicine, but you have a forensic certificate! Don't think I don't know, you helped the Bureau handle several cases when you were in the capital."

After shouting, he remembered he needed something from the man and softened his tone. "Just help me out, will you? This case is a serial murder, and the higher-ups are paying special attention. But after all this time, there's been no progress. Also, the forensic doctors in the Bureau are all rookies, and I can't trust them to handle the bodies."

"Ten minutes, I'll be there."

Fu Shimo put his glasses back on, stood up, grabbed his white coat from the nearby clothes rack, and added, "Stop using that macho charm, it’s hard on my ears."

He hung up without waiting for the other person’s response, grabbed the car keys, turned off the lights, and locked the door.

Police Station, Interrogation Room

Yan Zhixu sat in the chair, holding a cup of hot water and taking a small sip.

The male police officer sat across from her, staring at her for a long time but finding no trace of guilt.

He frowned deeply; this was not the reaction of an ordinary person being interrogated.

His suspicions grew, and suddenly he stood up and slammed his hand on the table. "Are you really not involved in Lin Ah Ruo's death? Now that you're in the station, if you don't tell the truth, do you know what will happen to you?!"

 

Facing the officer's angry outburst, Yan Zhixu placed the disposable cup down.

She lazily leaned back in her chair, resting her hands on the armrests and crossing her legs in a relaxed and rebellious posture.

"Mm, I know."

"Deliberately concealing the truth about the deceased, according to criminal law, is a criminal offense."

Her face, free of makeup, showed no trace of mockery.

Her serious demeanor while explaining the law made Wang Zhuoran, the interrogating officer, furious. His blood pressure surged, and his breathing became labored.

"Your mouth’s pretty tough. Hmph, once the other girls' testimonies come in, you won’t be able to clear your name!"

He was so angry that he slammed his hands on the table again, his forehead throbbing.

The surveillance footage showed that Lin Ah Ruo had gone into a small alley with a few students and came out dazed, eventually causing a car accident.

Moreover, this woman, Yan Zhixu, was a known hater of Lin Ah Ruo. With the wrist fracture and dislocation, they had enough reason to suspect her direct involvement in Lin Ah Ruo’s death.

Yan Zhixu’s gaze fell on his flushed face. "Officer, you have high blood pressure. It’s better to avoid getting too angry."

Wang Zhuoran’s anger suddenly dissipated, and a look of surprise flashed across his eyes. How did she know he had high blood pressure?

"Stop changing the subject!" He slammed the table again, annoyed that she was deliberately distracting him.

The door to the interrogation room was pushed open, and Hu Yue'e walked in. Her expression was somewhat complicated as she handed a stack of documents to Wang Zhuoran. "The testimonies from the other girls."

Wang Zhuoran reached out and took them, lowering his head to read carefully.

He frowned tightly after reading the first one.

After the second, his face showed disbelief.

By the third, his hand, gripping the documents, tightened, almost tearing the paper.

"This... how is this possible?"

Five girls, all provided testimonies that cleared Yan Zhixu of any involvement.

These girls had been interrogated separately, so it was impossible for them to have coordinated their statements.

Hu Yue'e handed over another set of documents. "This is the injury assessment report and the report on the drunk driver."

Wang Zhuoran picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, trying to calm himself.

"…"

After reading the injury report, the anger in his heart completely dissipated.

Although Lin Ah Ruo had a dislocated arm, the fatal injury that caused her death was damage to her heart and lungs from the impact, leading to excessive blood loss.

The drunk driver’s test results showed high levels of alcohol, confirming he was driving under the influence.

Wang Zhuoran slammed the documents on the table. "Miss Yan, you can leave now."

Yan Zhixu uncrossed her legs and stood up, casually glancing at the desk as she did so.
