Su Haitian was taken aback. First he was shocked because unlike the soft nature of canary’s face, she was packed more punch and bites with her words and harsh tones; then the comnts she had made about the police station struck him at once like a thunder.
He remained calm as he studied her, "Then why are you stealing those evidences if it’s fake?"
Canary didn’t feel like she had to explain to him and was about to put a kick or two towards him but saw how his expression suddenly turn stern, like soone who refuses to acknowledge sothing. No, like a child who refused to believe that the dolls he saw moving was never alive and was simply a play an adult had done.
She narrowed her eyes, "To see what they had lied of course."
"You can tell what has been forged?" Su Haitian’s question was very genuine that she had dropped her fighting stance. She leaned forward, her brown curly hairs swiping against his shoulders and looking into the table, she noticed the pile of docunts. Then she pieced the puzzles together, understanding that Su Haitian was trying to uncover sothing, just like her.
As soone with the sa matching shoes for a problem she huffed and decided to help him, "You can’t always discern for certain what’s been lied but you can tell it a little. These pigs, I an bastard, I an f- whatever you call these maggots, they have templates when it cos to lying and hiding evidences. They tweak witness’s statents and based on how much they were bribed, they could even turn soone innocent into a complete villain. They could even hide murders and pin it on soone else’s na, destroying black box and CCTV of any photograph evidences as well as the materialized one. Even worse they can write lies and make it seem as though the victim were the one to be bla."
Speechless, he stared at her as if in seconds she had grown another pair of hands around her waist. He looked at her like she was a Santa Claus in a Christmas Day.
"Do you have a pdf on this template?"
"What?"
"...."
They both blink and Canary took a long ti to understand that Su Haitan wasn’t at all joking which caused her smile to fade. She furrowed her eyebrows, looking at him closely to tell that every thing he wore was expensive yet he didn’t seem to care about it. This would only co from soone who was born into wealth, soone who had been taught not to read a price tag aning he is a naive young master.
She sighed, "What case are you looking at?"
Su HaiTan crossed his arms, watching the woman in front of him. The way she had spoken sounded as though she had learnt everything needed to know about the world, at ease and clearly looking down on the stupidity of the world. She seems to know everything he doesn’t which had imdiately interest him.
He humd, "An accident."
"A car accident? Let guess, with a truck?" As she had about to tease him for being too predictable, she saw him who had looked at her, taken aback. She dropped her teasings, rubbing her head, "I guessed it right?"
"Yes. How do you know about it?" Su HaiTan’s skepticism clouded his eyes now as he wondered if she was sent by soone.
She shook her head, "No it’s just," she sighed, "Whenever soone want to get rid a person who had bothered them, it’s normal for people to kill those people in sothing like an accident. Usually a car accident, either by being hit by a drunk who was driving the truck or to have them drive in a heavy rain and cause their car to slip and fall from a high cliff."
"This is normal?" He narrowed his eyes as these were lives is it not? Why does it feel as though all these lives were scripted when it shouldn’t?
"Of course not!" Canary shoved him aside and dropped into the chair, her fingers skimming over the scattered docunts. She didn’t bother checking the nas, the date of the accident, or who was involved. That wasn’t her concern. She already had more trouble than she could handle, diving into soone else’s ss would only make it worse.
Her gaze sharpened as she focused on the photographs. "Accidents don’t usually co with a pre-written script. But this police station? It’s a different breed. Every officer here is bought and paid for by the wealthy. Bribes keep the wheels turning. Any rich heir or heiress who screws up knows they can just throw money at the problem and walk away squeaky clean."
Su HaiTan folded his arms, his brows furrowed in thought. "Let guess," he said slowly. "Since they can’t erase all the evidence completely, they tweak it, just enough to make it look like an accident. And there is a pattern, a template they follow to cover their tracks."
"So, you are smart, young master," Canary mused, sliding a photograph across the table toward him. She lifted another between her fingers, tapping it lightly. "But from where I stand, this looks like one hell of a well-orchestrated cover-up for what’s supposed to be a simple car accident with a drunk truck driver."
She leaned in, her sharp eyes glinting under the dim light. "But two things don’t add up, the picture and the official report. Care to take a guess, or should I enlighten you?"
"Tell ," Su HaiTan requested, frowning as he had read the papers multiple ti yet couldn’t see a single mistake but what was it that she had seen which he couldn’t?
"The picture doesn’t match," she pointed over to the corner of the picture, showing sothing which could have been missed which was from his father’s body. There was sothing, like a mark around his wrists, "Unfortunately I think the man in this picture had died before he was inside the car. He was perhaps, hm, killed even before he drove the car. It’s useless trying to dig it up considering this happened almost twenty years ago so the physical evidence is hard to find from the victim’s body and autopsy won’t help but if you look very carefully, you can find sothing young master."
Su HaiTan looked at the mark, sothing he had never noticed even though he had read the autopsy report on his father’s death and never had seen this.
"The car was terribly broken, crashed," Canary continued, "He has a seatbelt around his body yet his head caved from the impact. I don’t know much about the dical stuff but I know that this wouldn’t have happened so badly considering that they seed to have worn a seatbelt tight around their body. This feels more as though soone had swung a tal bat across their heads."
"Are you sure?" Su HaiTan inquired, his eyes narrowing on her dangerously.
Canary knew that gaze and didn’t feel offended by his skepticism. Believing sothing you had thought was the reality for so long only to realize it was all lies weren’t easy so she answered him with a firm nod, "I have seen the sa wounds of people being killed by tal bat across their heads. I haven’t forgotten it."
Su HaiTan imdiately felt his heart that sunk. He raced in his head, wondering how this could have happened. How could his grandmother ever missed the evidences and the fact that soone in this police station had been bribed to forged this docunts?
He needed to tell her, to warn her that soone had tweaked with his parent’s case, possibly also the one behind the attack.
"Well how rich could the person behind this case be I wonder," Canary’s words caused his head to turn.
"What do you an?" His voice was harsh as he tried to swallow the large bile that had rose in his throat.
"They fixed the black box, the caras, the autopsy records, the official docunts, and even the witnesses," Canary noted, "This isn’t so cheap change needed to make this death appear so well constructed like a real accident. It must be soone with a lot of money and power. Hm," she then wondered if Li ZiChen could possibly do this. Her friend’s lover had shown to be a man with humanity but if he had wanted to, perhaps he could easily hide a murder so cleanly, even cleaner than this since the person behind this accident seed simply careless, perhaps not because they couldn’t pay more to cover their tracks completely but because they were sowhere confident that no one, no soul would ever be able to find out what they have done.
It’s frightening and she muttered, "This person. They are too dangerous. I suggest you think twice before looking over the case. I doubt that the person behind this would even spare you if they had found out that you have seen through all their lies. It’s frightening," she then sighed, "This person reminds of Elder Hua."
At this, Su HaiTan’s hands reached out and stopped to hold her wrists, "Explain that more?"
"Why it’s frightening?"
"NO- about elder Hua," he demanded, gritting his teeth. He hadn’t expected that Canary would speak about Elder Hua but seeing her confused expression it seems that she really doesn’t know he had beca Elder Hua’s grandson.
She rubbed her head, "No you see, I was reading cases and found out that the person who had donated so much money to build this building is none other than Elder Hua of Hua Family. You know how powerful her family is right? I considered that soone so powerful and confident in themselves would be perhaps behind your case. It could not be her but the way this person seems so confident that their evil tracks will be hidden forever, it’s as if they knew they have power to hide it completely. As if they have Elder Hua’s authority."
