Chapter 211: Chapter 211: Shi Youjin, You Act So Well Chapter 211: Chapter 211: Shi Youjin, You Act So Well The criminal investigator was about to ask another question when a female officer ca in, “Chief Zheng, we’ve found Tian Qiugui’s second mobile phone, and it contains crucial evidence!”
Chief Zheng’s spirits lifted, and without regards to Ye Chuyi, he imdiately went out.
Ye Chuyi didn’t know what evidence they had found, but with Tian Qiugui’s capability, they were likely not to disappoint the police.
Indeed, before long, Chief Zheng returned, and he unlocked her handcuffs, “Your suspicions have been cleared, you can go now.”
Ye Chuyi looked up at him, “Who is the killer?”
“Shi Youjin.”
“Did he confess?”
“He didn’t confess, he insists that he didn’t kill anyone. But it seems Tian Qiugui had sensed the danger before her death; she hid her phone in a holly tree, which recorded the entirety of her being murdered.”
Ye Chuyi’s face turned paler than during the interrogation, and her voice grew hoarse with intensity, “It really was him, it really was…”
After all these years, she had always believed that Shi Youjin was innocent; she felt that her father had been wrongfully accused.
Only today did she learn that he had not been wronged, that it was indeed he who had killed Du Yu’s father.
And now, not long after being released from prison, he had killed another!
What’s more critical is that the reason Shi Youjin killed was the sa, eighteen years ago, Du Yu was killed for blackmailing him, and now, eighteen years later, Tian Qiugui was also killed for the sa reason!
This was no coincidence!
Blackmail was definitely not as simple as it appeared on the surface!
Her thoughts churning, she couldn’t keep calm, “Chief Zheng, may I see Shi Youjin?”
“That’s against procedure.”
“Just for a mont, you can have soone accompany .”
During the interrogation, Chief Zheng had already noticed that she wasn’t close with her parents; she didn’t even call them mom and dad the entire ti, only referring to them by their nas.
Years of experience in criminal investigations made him exceedingly sharp, “Do you also think there’s sothing fishy about Shi Youjin’s murder, so you want to ask him about it?”
“Yes.”
Ye Chuyi stopped hiding the truth, “Eighteen years ago, Shi Youjin killed a doctor nad Du Yu; surely you’ve already checked his record, but what you may not know is that Shi Youjin killed him because he was also blackmailed.”
“Du Yu blackmailed Shi Youjin?”
“That’s likely, you can interrogate Shi Youjin again. If you follow the lead of blackmail, you should be able to find his real motive for murder.”
Chief Zheng thought she was unnervingly composed, he looked at her for a good while, finally saying, “Let’s go, I’ll take you to see him.”
“Thank you.”
Ye Chuyi followed him to the outside of a detention room.
The door of the detention room was made of stainless steel bars, and through it, Ye Chuyi saw Shi Youjin curled up in the corner, motionless.
Under the dim yellow light, he appeared so honest, so innocent, just as he had eighteen years ago.
Upon hearing movent, Shi Youjin slowly turned his head, and when he saw Ye Chuyi, he froze, then quickly stood up and ca to the front of the door, “Xiaoyi, why have you co? Are you here to get out? I didn’t kill anyone, Xiaoyi, really I didn’t!”
Ye Chuyi watched him intently; in the past, she had been deceived by this very display of innocence, she believed that her father wouldn’t lie to her, that he couldn’t lie.
But she never thought that the biggest liar of all was him.
Her eyes slowly reddened, “Shi Youjin, so you’ve been lying to all along, deceiving for so many years. Du Yu, he really was killed by you. How ridiculous, to think that I kept begging the Du family for a letter of forgiveness on your behalf.”
Shi Youjin shook his head frantically, “Xiaoyi, have you listened to so nonsense these detectives told you? Don’t believe them, Xiaoyi, you have to believe Dad, I’m the only person in this world who would never lie to you!”
Ye Chuyi suddenly laughed, and as she laughed, tears fell, “Shi Youjin, you put on quite a show, playing innocent, claiming you didn’t kill anyone, tell , was even your love for just an act?”
“Xiaoyi, don’t do this, don’t cry, it breaks Dad’s heart, I didn’t put on an act, you are my only child, how could I possibly not love you?”
