His body was shaking, as if a huge force was constantly tearing at him. His hands were clenched into fists, as if he wanted to vent all his anger and pain.

The criminal investigation team leader stood silently beside him, not saying a word. He knew that at this moment, any words seemed so pale and powerless. He could only silently accompany Xu Zhixu, letting him feel a kind of silent comfort and support.

The atmosphere in the room was unusually heavy, as if an invisible force was oppressing them. The criminal investigation team leader looked at Xu Zhixu's pained expression and felt a pang of pain in his heart. He knew that this man was going through the most painful moment of his life.

The captain of the criminal investigation team was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Xu Zhixu, we are still investigating, but what is certain is that Bai Lan is closely related to Su Yao's death."

His words were gentle but firm, trying to comfort Xu Zhixu.

"Bai Lan? Is it her?" His voice revealed deep suspicion and anger.

The criminal investigation team leader nodded and said, "Yes, we already have the evidence. Now we just need to check the surveillance footage again to confirm it."

At this time, a policeman walked into the interrogation room and said, "Teammate, after verification, Bai Lan is indeed the murderer of Su Yao."

Hearing this, the criminal investigation team leader looked at Xu Zhixu.

"How ironic! The murderer who killed your child is the woman you always said you loved the most, Bai Lan." The words of the criminal investigation team leader were like a sharp knife, mercilessly piercing Xu Zhixu's heart.

Xu Zhixu stood in the dark interrogation room, his face pale and his eyes empty.

He seemed to have lost his soul, helpless and lost. His hands were clenched into fists, veins bulging, revealing his inner struggle and pain.

The captain's words echoed in the interrogation room, tinged with a sarcastic laugh. A malicious smile hung on his face, as if he were enjoying Xu Zhixu's pain. A smug look flickered in his eyes, as if he had already witnessed Xu Zhixu's collapse.

"How is it possible? Bai Lan is so gentle and kind, how could she kill someone..." Xu Zhixu's voice trembled and his face was as pale as paper.

His eyes were full of doubt and fear, as if he was questioning the injustice of this world.

He couldn't believe it, nor did he want to. His heart was filled with pain and sorrow, as if it were torn into pieces. His tears kept flowing down, wetting his cheeks. His body trembled, as if he was enduring unbearable pain.

There was a gloomy atmosphere in the interrogation room, which made people feel suffocated.

Xu Zhixu cried and laughed, forming a strange harmony. As if all the strength had been drained from his body, Xu Zhixu sat powerlessly on the chair, his eyes filled with despair and helplessness.

His heart was filled with contradictions and struggles. He wanted to believe that Bai Lan was innocent, but he could not deny the existence of the facts.

Xu Zhixu sat there, his soul ripped out of him, his eyes empty and lost. He tried to understand it all, but his mind couldn't accept this cruel reality.

The criminal investigation team leader looked at Xu Zhixu's pain, walked up to him, and tapped the table with his fingers, making a crisp sound.

"Xu Zhixu, you need to face reality. Bai Lan is the murderer, that's a fact. If you tell the truth about everything, you can get a chance to avoid being sentenced to death." The captain of the criminal investigation team said as he placed a photo on the table.

That was a dead fetus. It was only three months old and was killed just as it was forming.

After reading it, Xu Zhixu was immediately excited.

"No, I don't believe it..." Xu Zhixu's voice was weak and powerless, and his body was trembling.

The criminal investigation team leader looked at Xu Zhixu's reaction, and a hint of sympathy flashed in his eyes.

He took a deep breath and continued, "Xu Zhixu, I know this is hard to accept. But the facts are the facts, and we need to face it. Bai Lan has admitted her crime. She killed your child."

Xu Zhixu felt dizzy, his body swaying. He covered his face with his hands, tears streaming down his face. He felt a sharp pain in his heart, his world shattered.

The words of the criminal investigation captain were like a sharp knife, piercing his heart deeply. His face turned pale, and his body leaned weakly against the wall, as if he had lost all life in an instant.

The captain of the criminal investigation team looked at him silently, his eyes full of helplessness and sympathy. He knew he had to tell the truth, but seeing Xu Zhixu in such pain, he also felt very reluctant.

Since then, after interrogation one by one, the truth came to light.

The atmosphere in the solemn courtroom was suffocatingly tense. Behind the iron bars, Xu Zhixu, dressed in his usual black suit, appeared gloomy and calm. His face was expressionless, his eyes deep and cold, like a bottomless lake.

Xu Zhixu, the once-prominent business tycoon, now stood in the dock, gaunt and pale. His hands were bound by heavy iron chains, the hands that once orchestrated the country's policies now hanging limply at his sides.

The judge's voice echoed in the silent courtroom: "Xu Zhixu, you are sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole for multiple crimes."

After he finished speaking, Xu Zhixu's body stiffened slightly, but his eyes were firm and fearless, as if he had already anticipated this result.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the courtroom, Bai Lan stood quietly. Her face was as pale as snow, and her eyes revealed deep despair. When her death sentence was announced, her body trembled slightly, but she quickly regained her composure. She looked up at the judge, her gaze filled with a hint of stubbornness and unwillingness.

Her face was as pale as snow and her eyes were empty.

She was sentenced to death, and the execution would take place at dawn one month from now. There was no anger or sadness in her eyes, only deep confusion and helplessness.

Meanwhile, Thord lowered his head, his face pale as paper. He had been imprisoned for harboring a criminal. His eyes were filled with regret and pain. He looked at his own hands, the hands that had once aided Bai Lan in her crimes but now could not hold her life.

The lights in the courtroom illuminated every corner, but could not illuminate the shadows of those sins. In the solemn court, the fate of Xu Zhixu, Bai Lan and Suode was decided, and their future was tightly bound by ruthless chains.

After the verdict, the courtroom was completely silent, with only the sound of the judge's gavel clacking against the wooden table, echoing in everyone's ears. Xu Zhixu, Bai Lan, and Suode were led away, their figures disappearing behind the iron bars, leaving behind only the empty courtroom and those lingering shadows.

Bai Lan's death sentence caused an uproar in the court.
