Upon hearing this, the police officer said sternly, "Do you know that if you are really an eyewitness to this incident, then what you know can at least allow us to determine the exact time when the victim was killed?"

This is of great help in solving the case.

“…”

After hearing this, Lin Rui blamed himself even more and looked regretful.

The police glared at him, asked a few more questions, and then walked out with his notebook.

Afterwards, the police who interrogated Lin Xiaoxiao and her two siblings returned to the office together, and all three of them gave their recorded confessions.

They also expressed their own views.

The female police officer said, "Lin Xiaoxiao looks normal, and her confession matches Lin Feng and Lin Rui's. She doesn't seem to be lying."

But if he is not lying, it means that Lin Rui did not have the time to commit the crime, and all this is a coincidence. But if it is a coincidence, it is too much of a coincidence.

The police officer who interrogated Lin Rui said, "There is another person who can prove whether Lin Rui is lying or not."

"Zhao Xihua."

The other police officers looked at each other and said a name at the same time.

As long as we compare the time when Lin Rui left Zhao Xihua with the time when others met Lin Rui when he returned, all this will be self-defeating.

"I'll go get Zhao Xihua now."

One of the police officers finished speaking and walked out, while the other police officers continued the discussion.

Someone said, "If this incident really wasn't done by Lin Rui, then wouldn't the clues in the case be broken again?"

The female police officer said, "Even if Zhao Xihua's confession matches, it doesn't necessarily mean that this case has nothing to do with Lin Rui."

Everyone looked at her, and she explained, "The crime scene has proven that it wasn't just one person who committed the crime. Assuming Zhao Xihua is also a suspect, he and Lin Rui committed the crime together, and then coordinated their confessions. It's also possible that Lin Rui returned home after the crime."

"There are many doubts about Lin Rui's words. For example, if he was an eyewitness, why didn't he speak out? Why did he deny being at the crime scene? If he didn't do these things, why didn't he admit it? Is it useless to just think that what you saw is useless?"

Everyone fell silent upon hearing this.

Every word the female police officer said hit the nail on the head.

Of course, everything is just speculation and suspicion now. We still have to wait until we find Zhao Xihua and ask him clearly what exactly happened.

It's useless to just guess.

…

Lin Xiaoxiao sat in the interrogation room for more than an hour. During this time, no one came in to pay attention to her except for the police asking her if she wanted to drink water or go to the toilet.

And she was not idle either, she was always clearing her mind.

She has already figured out the reasons why Lin Rui was suspected in this case.

On the day of the incident, Lin Rui went there and accidentally tore his clothes, leaving the pieces of clothes there. When he came back, he seemed to be bumped into by someone again, and someone reported him to the police station.

That's why the police targeted him.

However, she was not sure whether Lin Rui had seen anything that day.

Whether he was simply passing by or saw something, he never said anything.

The technology in that era was not that advanced. There were no cameras and no DNA, and all the evidence pointed to Lin Rui. If there was no very favorable evidence to prove that Lin Rui was innocent, this matter would be really troublesome.
