Xie Wensheng's emotions reached a peak at this mont.
He grabbed Chen Xiao's arm and asked excitedly:
"Did you catch the real culprit? Really caught him?!"
Chen Xiao nodded seriously: "Yes, the real culprit is in custody, soone you've heard of but never seen."
Saying this, Chen Xiao looked at Cao Chan.
The latter was also bewildered.
She rembered that Chen Xiao had co to her several tis earlier in the night.
But at that ti, Chen Xiao seed to have no clue about the real culprit, only so suspicion towards her.
Now, as dawn approached, he ca again.
But this ti, he brought the news that the real culprit had been caught!
Ye Suzhi, the old lady, woke up from her slumber.
She asked Chen Xiao: "Who is it?"
"Li Jindao."
Upon hearing this na, Xie Wensheng frowned: "How could it be him? Are you sure there isn't a mistake!"
Look.
Li Jindao's plan, at least, was successful with Xie Wensheng.
Because even when Chen Xiao said it himself, Xie Wensheng couldn't believe that Li Jindao could be the one!
Chen Xiao looked at Cao Chan again: "Li Jindao, nicknad Golden Saber, is a smuggler and used to be a police informant. That policeman was your father, the late Xie Yan."
Xie Wensheng's eyes widened once more.
While Cao Chan swayed slightly.
She understood what Chen Xiao's words ant.
It ant that she had to face the things she never wanted to face!
Noticing Chen Xiao's eyes fixed on her, Cao Chan took a deep breath.
"Mom, Wensheng, now I have to confess so things to you both."
Xie Wensheng and Ye Suzhi asked in confusion: "What do you need to confess? Let Chen Xiao finish speaking first."
Cao Chan smiled wryly and said to Chen Xiao: "Thank you for giving
this opportunity, even though Wensheng hasn't entered the operating room yet."
Chen Xiao shook his head, and Cao Chan turned again towards the confused Ye Suzhi and Xie Wensheng.
"Mom, Wensheng, I committed the Yang Lake Phantom case twelve years ago!"
The room fell silent as her words echoed.
Xie Wensheng said nothing.
Ye Suzhi remained silent.
The mother and son looked at Cao Chan, completely stunned.
Chen Xiao sighed: "Captain Xie, Auntie, don't get too worked up yet. Sister-in-law has another identity; she is the daughter of the victims Li Qian and his wife from the Luming Ridge Reservoir case in 1990. Since the thieves only stole cash without touching other valuables, the old detective suspected it was a cri by soone familiar."
"So to protect Sister-in-law as much as possible, her identity was kept secret."
Cao Chan nodded: "Afterwards, I changed my identity to seek revenge, with my father's help, not knowing what I was planning."
"As I grew closer to my father, he introduced
to Wensheng and I beca their daughter-in-law."
"Over ti, I thought I would never have the chance until one day I heard three voices that I'll never forget in a store. They were the killers of my parents!"
"So I beca the vengeful ghost of Yang Lake, relentlessly pressuring them until they killed themselves out of fear."
"Later, my father probably found out about my actions. Already under imnse stress, unable to arrest , he took his own life."
"That's all I know. Chen Xiao ntioned before I might be used by soone, but I never imagined it would be Golden Saber, whom my father trusted so much!"
Xie Wensheng was even more confused.
Chen Xiao resud the conversation, explaining everything in detail.
After hearing the entire story, Xie Wensheng's initial excitent disappeared.
He looked at his wife, suddenly finding her a stranger.
This person he spent years with was living under a false na!
Cao Chan sensed his emotional shift and said bitterly:
"I had a reason for using the na initially, later I wanted to tell you but never knew how."
"Wensheng, aside from the na, I've been true to you, Mom, Dad, and the kids. But I know my actions led to Dad's death. If you can't forgive , I'm ready for any punishnt."
"I hope you'll forgive ."
Speaking, Cao Chan knelt before her mother-in-law.
Ye Suzhi instantly teared up.
Chen Xiao had explained things clearly.
The fact remains Cao Chan sought revenge, and her revenge caused Xie Yan's death.
Can Xie Yan's death truly be blad on Cao Chan?
Chen Xiao believed not.
The real issue Xie Yan couldn't face was making a wrong case, causing innocent deaths!
For a detective who values honor and principles imnsely, that was a fatal blow!
He couldn't face the family of the driver who died due to his pursuit.
He couldn't arrest his daughter-in-law at that ti.
He was principled, yet abandoned those principles inside.
He cared about his honor, but that honor was stained with blood.
That truly led to Xie Yan's death!
Ye Suzhi turned away, and Xie Wensheng remained silent.
It's natural.
No one can remain rational and forgiving in such shocking circumstances.
Cao Chan knew forgiveness from her husband and mother-in-law wasn't imdiate, so she reached out to Chen Xiao:
"You can take
away."
Xie Wensheng felt his throat tighten, wanting to speak but swallowed his words.
Being a policeman, he understood the procedures.
Taking a deep breath, Xie Wensheng trembled, saying: "Cooperate with the investigation, be honest, don't hide or resist."
"I will."
"Go."
Cao Chan slightly smiled: "Don't let
affect you, keep a positive mindset for the surgery. Your life is paramount, our child hasn't grown up yet."
Xie Wensheng nodded, seeing Qin Fei approach and stand by Cao Chan, he quickly said:
"Don't be afraid, I'll get off the operating table, I... will wait for you to co ho!"
Cao Chan shed tears.
Just then, Qin Fei's phone rang.
After hearing the voice on the other end, he looked at Chen Xiao in shock.
Chen Xiao was puzzled, asking: "What's the matter, Captain Qin?"
"Li Jindao wants to speak with you."
"I have nothing to discuss with him?"
"He says if he ntions a na, you'll definitely see him."
"Who?"
"Chen Yan!"
