After turning himself in, Liao Hu was eager to confess his crimes, but to his surprise, no one came to interrogate him. Instead, he was locked up and given three meals a day.

The first few days were fine, but after being locked up for half a month, he couldn't stand it anymore.

"Boss, Liao Hu is demanding an explanation." Lin Ming walked into Lu Min'an's office. "He's making a huge fuss, saying that if we don't interrogate him, he'll go on a hunger strike and commit suicide."

“Then…” Lu Min’an looked away from the computer, “then let’s starve him for a few days and then we’ll talk about it.”

Lin Ming's lips twitched: "Boss, why aren't you interrogating him?"

“Because it’s not the right time yet.” Lu Min’an smiled. “He turned himself in because he couldn’t survive outside. Someone must be trying to kill him. Turning himself in might give him a chance to survive. But if we interrogate him immediately, do you think we can believe him completely?” Moreover, he was more inclined to believe that someone had instructed him to turn himself in.

"So, should we keep him locked up?"

"Keep him locked up." Lu Min'an continued operating the computer. "Anyway, the team won't starve him. But from now on, let's starve him for three days."

"Okay." Lin Ming went out to make the arrangements after receiving the order.

Lu Min'an hesitated for a moment, then dialed the internal phone: "Xu Qing, is the file for Cui Na's case ready? Send it to me when it's done."

Five minutes after hanging up the phone, Xu Qing came over with a file folder: "Boss, this is the information on Cui Na's case that you asked me to compile."

"Have you found anything?"

“I’ve noticed something strange.” Xu Qing opened a statement in the file. “This is the statement from the driver who hit and killed Cui Na twenty-one years ago. She said that Cui Na suddenly ran into the middle of the road, but look at this.” She then pulled out a photo. “That road has been rebuilt a long time ago. I went to the archives and found photos from that time. That place wasn’t a main road back then; it was mostly used by pedestrians or bicycles. Motor vehicles wouldn’t have used that area. But unfortunately, it’s been too long, and the original video footage is no longer available.”

“Mm.” Lu Min’an nodded.

“The driver initially called the police voluntarily and even dialed an ambulance; he was quite cooperative,” Xu Qing tapped the table. “However, after Han Guosheng arrived, he immediately said that Cui Na had been mentally unstable because her daughter was missing, and later, because the driver's family was poor, he dropped the charges. The driver was only sentenced to one year for causing a traffic accident…”

Lu Min'an nodded, her gaze somewhat deep.

“I looked into that driver again. He was released from prison after serving ten months, and guess what?” Xu Qing smiled sarcastically, “He actually went abroad.”

"Going abroad?" Lu Min'an frowned. How could someone with poor financial conditions still have the ability to go abroad?

“Yes, he’s in the US now.” Xu Qing smiled. “What’s even more amazing is that the money he received later wasn’t from Han Guosheng. Unfortunately, we can’t find out anything more.” He paused. “Oh, and there’s something even stranger. When Zhou Yunmeng confessed that Liao Hu murdered Cui Na, she hired a desperate criminal as a driver, but the name doesn’t match that person…”
