52 Red Roses

Outside the interrogation room, Fang Chengjin took the report handed to him by Da Huang, glanced at it lightly between his nose and nose, and his eyes gleamed.

"The report has the smell of hydrogen peroxide from that day, and even the scent of roses. If we take this report for testing, we will definitely be able to find traces of the crime that day."

Lin Long curled his lips, "Shen Jun, you killed someone and then forged this report. Considering that Gu Mansheng was your former lover, tell me, will you confess truthfully and repent, or will you go straight to the police station and wait for the verdict?"

Shen Jun turned his face away: "I won't say anything more unless my lawyer arrives. You have no evidence to prove that I killed him, and I will definitely sue your police station."

A silence fell over the interrogation room.

Fang Chengjin said quietly, "No rush, he will definitely be convicted today."

Lin Long's anxiety eased somewhat.

Half an hour later, Shen Jun's lawyer arrived.

Lin Long immediately recognized him as the number one lawyer on the Hong Kong Island list, which made things difficult for him.

But the next second, Lin Long's phone rang.

Lin Long glanced at it; it was a call from forensic doctor Pan Xiaoxia.

The lawyer immediately said, "It's against regulations to answer the phone in the interrogation room, Captain Lin. Your interrogation procedures are not standard. I'm taking my client away."

As he spoke, the lawyer was about to take the person away on the spot.

The two detectives outside tried to stop him, but the lawyer shouted, "You're detaining my client for no reason! Where's your chief? I'm going to file a complaint against you. Be careful you don't lose your job!"

The two detectives immediately stopped what they were doing.

Shen Jun is not a criminal, and they have no obligation to detain him.

Seeing this, Zhou Yun opened the door of the small interrogation room and blocked the two people who were about to leave.

"Stop! Who said you could leave? No prisoner has ever been able to slip away from me."

The lawyer was bold yet meticulous. He looked at the tall, thin policewoman in front of him, glanced at her from head to toe, and then his gaze fell on her bare neck.

"Where's your work ID? You're trying to violate regulations!"

Zhou Yun blocked the way without saying a word, just standing there in the corridor.

The lawyer, with Shen Jun by his side, found themselves unable to move forward.

Zhou Yun swiftly turned to the side, and at the last second before the other person's hand was about to grab her, she twisted the other person's wrist with her own, then turned around and pinned the lawyer's hand against his back.

"Feel free to file a complaint against me. My ID number is 5179. Try assaulting a police officer?"

The lawyer was unable to move and bent over, letting out a cry of pain.

The iron gate slammed shut, and Lin Long's voice rang out behind them, like a judge delivering a verdict.

"Shen Jun, the forensic doctor has found your DNA and Gu Mansheng's DNA in Lu Xiaoman's bathroom. The physical evidence you wanted has also been found. Now, the police have the right to arrest you as the murderer!"

Shen Jun slowly turned around, his eyes filled with resentment.

With a snap, Zhou Yun twisted the lawyer's shoulder, then released him.

The lawyer screamed and accused Zhou Yun.

I'm going to sue you!

Zhou Yun clapped her hands, a slight smile playing on her lips, showing no fear.

Fang Chengjin walked gracefully out of the small room, his leather shoes gleaming black.

"According to Article 12 of the Civil Code of Hong Kong Island, if a lawyer defends a perpetrator in a criminal case, it is considered a crime. Shen Jun has already been proven to be the perpetrator, and there is no way to defend him."

“Mr. Shen, we haven’t signed a contract for this case yet. There are things you’ve been hiding from me. Our deal ends here.”

After the lawyer finished speaking, he fled the police station as if he were escaping.

Fang Chengjin turned around slightly again, his gaze falling on Shen Jun.

"Just now, Gu Qianfan acquired 20% of the shares. He has the right to restrict the transfer of shares by other shareholders. If all shareholders disagree, the shares will be reclaimed, including the shares allocated to the deceased Gu Mansheng."

Shen Jun clenched his fists and pressed his lips into a straight line.

"I'm not reconciled! How could this be...? How did you know? My design was so perfect..."

Fang Chengjin did not answer him. His ability to solve cases using scent was known only to a few people in the police station; outsiders were unaware that he was a visiting professor of criminal psychology at the Public Security Criminal Investigation University.

Lin Long stepped forward and handcuffed Shen Jun, then gave him a push, saying, "Go back and explain the details of your crime."

Unable to resist, Shen Jun was forced back into the interrogation room.

He then placed the tip of his cane into her palm. The sudden clash between the coldness of the metal and the warmth of her palm caused him to instinctively curl his fingertips before finally letting go.

Zhou Yun's fingertips caressed the miniature switch on the side of the cane head, pausing slightly as if she were receiving a key from an accomplice.

**

Inside the interrogation room.

The white light instantly fixed on his pupils, like an operating table being relit.

Shen Jun narrowed his eyes, his Adam's apple bobbing as if searching for a spot on an unseen incision. "Where to begin... When I first met Gu Mansheng, I did like her. But you don't know, she was incredibly domineering. When my mother was seriously ill and needed money for surgery, I begged her to lend me money, but she deliberately tormented me because I helped Xiaoman apply medicine, ultimately causing my mother's death..."

At this point, Shen Jun gripped his hair tightly with both hands, completely unlike his calm demeanor just now.

As he spoke, his right index finger unconsciously traced patterns on the table, a gesture reminiscent of a surgical knot.

After he finished speaking, he suddenly reached out and asked Lin Long to handcuff him: "Lock my left wrist too, I used my dominant hand when I killed her."

Lin Long snapped the statement paper shut, the ink covering the number '00:17'.

Shen Jun looked down at his dominant hand, which was locked up, as if he had just finished looking at the sutures of a last surgery, and whispered, "Surgery over, death successful."
