ng Chi was sitting inside the visiting room.
However, the handcuffs and legcuffs were still on him as he sat at his seat properly with poise.
Two prison guards were standing not too far away, hands behind their backs.
Bai Muchuan and Huang He went to see him together. When both of them saw ng Chi, their eyebrows furrowed at the sa ti.
There was a distinct difference between a man born and raised in a noble family and an upstart like An Ying. ng Chi’s hair was now shorter; he was thinner and had gotten darker. Nevertheless, he was still the ng Chi who was elegant, good looking and calm. There weren’t many people who could maintain such a ntality after being sent to the detention center and were awaiting trial.
Bai Muchuan sat down. Huang He got a cup of water for him.
He was not in a hurry to talk while ng Chi looked at him without much emotion as well.
“Long ti no see, Captain Bai.”
“Long ti no see.”
Both of them were calm and peaceful. They didn’t look like a policeman and a criminal but instead friends that hadn’t seen each other for a while as they greeted each other.
After the case was taken over by Prosecution, Bai Muchuan only visited ng Chi once.
During the last short visit, ng Chi also had the sa expression. He wasn’t warm to them but there was no dislike on his face either.
This person was no fun to deal with.
Extrely difficult, if one would say.
He had a strong ntality.
When he didn’t want to talk, he wouldn’t say anything useful even though they tried all ways and ans.
“Cough... cough, cough... ng Chi, I believe you know why I’m here to see you today.”
Bai Muchuan cut straight to the point. ng Chi was no fool either.
“Isn’t the case closed already? Don’t tell the Prosecution requested for additional investigations?”
Hur! The corners of Bai Muchuan’s lips turned upwards.
ng Chi was really an interesting fellow.
He was as familiar with the process of criminal procedure law as eating and drinking.”read comics on our ReadRead.live”
ng Chi was a capable businessman. If a man like him died, anyone would feel that it was a pity.
“Yes.” Bai Muchuan gave it a thought and decided not to deny that. “There are still so details that require supporting evidence and we need your cooperation.”
“Oh.” ng Chi lifted his eyebrows. “But I’ve already said everything.”
His attitude was much better than last ti.
It seed that there really were effects to make a person turn for the better in there.
Bai Muchuan looked at ng Chi and furrowed his eyebrows when he thought of An Ying who was also locked up at the detention center. “I heard you will be on trial soon. Have you ever thought to explain or even defend yourself?”
“I’ve explained,” said ng Chi nonchalantly, “but all of you think it’s . I’ve nothing to say.”
He said that again!
Nothing to say huh?
A man who had nothing to say with regards to his own life.
If he was really the one who shot Tu Liang, then he would have nothing to say.
Otherwise, there must be sothing even more important than his life for him to be unwilling to talk.
Which type would ng Chi belong to?
Bai Muchuan took a glance at him. “Finished reading the books?”
Books? ng Chu’s eyebrows moved a little. “I’ve already read ‘The Grey List’ nurous tis. Has ‘The White List’ been published?”
Bai Muchuan: “I’ve no ti to write.”
“That’s a sha!” ng Chi pursed his lips then looked at Bai Muchuan. “I forgot to thank Second Young Master Mu for writing a sentence for .”
The last ti when Bai Muchuan ca, he brought the books and even wrote a sentence for ng Chi:
‘The darkness outside locked up the light within. You are behind the door while I’m outside the door.’
“However, I don’t agree with your words,” said ng Chi slowly. There was a spark in his eyes which only appeared for an instant. “I’m in the dark but aren’t you the sa as well? Which one of us is living in the world is not in the dark? If there’s no light, there won’t be darkness and vice versa. Aren’t these two supposed to be dependent on each other?”
Well...
Bai Muchuan smiled.
“That’s a philosophical question.”
After that, his gaze beca serious. “The purpose of us coming here is to talk about the case.”
With regards to his reply, ng Chi was clearly not satisfied.
“Captain Bai and I can probably discuss philosophy now,” he let out a sigh. “What else can I say about the case?”
Bai Muchuan’s gaze beca sharp and cold. “You can tell if you’re the one who killed Tu Liang. Your trial has not started. You can still change your statent.”
ng Chi was surprised for a mont and smiled. “Would it be of use?”
“Yes.”
“Would there be a difference to my sentence whether I killed Tu Liang or not?”
Bai Muchuan contemplated over his reply.
Ever since they arrested ng Chi from the scene where Tu Liang got shot, this sentence was the most useful of all he had said.
Although this sentence might have sounded common, it was actually the first ti that ng Chi expressed an opinion on this case.
As Bai Muchuan carefully thought about it, there were at least a few anings in his words.
Firstly, he had indirectly admitted that he didn’t kill Tu Liang.
Secondly, he knew that besides being charged with killing Tu Liang, he was also charged with many other offences which he knew that he wouldn’t be able to get unpunished from the law no matter what...
Thirdly... he had also indirectly admitted he could be protecting another person.
“Wasn’t Yu Ning the one whom you liked?” Bai Muchuan smiled. “So your true love is actually Ye Lun?”
That ca out of the blue.
ng Chi had a slight change in his expression.
He was now more mindful of his words.
“My attitude is the sa. It’s up to you to think about what you want. It’s the court’s business to decide what kind of punishnt I will get... Captain Bai, I feel that you don’t need to waste your ti on .”
Bai Muchuan ignored his words and went straight to the point. “That day, Ye Lun and Xie Wanwan were knocked out and you’re the only one who was conscious. Tu Liang entered and got shot in the head. Technically, you should be the one who killed him...”
“Correct.” ng Chi nodded his head. “So, I’m unable to refute that.”
“Well, you have already denied that earlier.” Bai Muchuan raised his eyebrows. “Ye Lun’s the one, right?”
ng Chi pressed his lips together and suddenly let out a sneer. “Of course, you can think whatever you want. However, you should tell Ye Lun what you’ve said... What has it got to do with ?”
Hur!
Bai Muchuan laughed and coughed a little.
“Let’s face it, ng Chi. The one you wanted to protect, can’t be protected anymore. Ye Lun has exposed himself. Do you still want to insist that you don’t know anything?”
ng Chi quivered slightly.
He didn’t reply.
He seed to be ruminating over what Bai Muchuan ant.
His face seed pale; there was barely any color.
The few months living as a prisoner had changed his temperant sowhat. The only thing that hadn’t changed was perhaps his craftiness.
If Bai Muchuan didn’t take the initiative to reveal more of what he knew, he wouldn’t give a reply.
“Fine. Since you’re not going to talk, let do it for you.” Bai Muchuan coughed and drank a mouthful of water before puffing a sigh. “I’m sick and I don’t want to talk so much. It’s all because of you.”
“...” ng Chi continued to stay quiet.
“That day, Ye Lun and Xie Wanwan did not get kidnapped at all. You’re not the one who kidnapped them. It was all part of Ye Lun’s plan. He asked Xie Wanwan out for a drink and told her that he suspected you’re the mastermind of the 121 case. He misled her and spiked her drink. He inford you so you would bring along the money to save her... with the incident over at Vulture’s Mouth, he was sure that you are more willing to use money to settle this problem rather than contacting the police. At the sa ti, he was also able to guess correctly that Xie Wanwan’s assistant would look for when she didn’t co back after a day...”
