The police car drove steadily into the police station gate and came to a stop.
Bang!
The car door opened, and Su Lin, her face ashen and eyes filled with despair, was escorted out of the car by two policemen and taken straight to the police station lobby.
The words spoken in the car earlier completely silenced Su Lin, who was struggling to explain herself.
Only now did she understand what Song Yuhong had meant when she spoke to her in the courtroom waiting room.
Say nothing, admit nothing.
The more you say, the more mistakes you make; too much talk inevitably leads to errors!
Especially when you are under stress and your nerves are on edge, you may unknowingly reveal some slips in your speech, which the police can then use against you!
From the courthouse to the police station, the police never mentioned Lin Chu's situation.
Only Su Lin herself believed that the murder-for-hire plan had succeeded, that Lin Chu must have been killed, and that the police were arresting her because Lin Chu was dead.
That's why she subconsciously defended herself in this matter, treating it as something that had already happened and taken for granted.
Unexpectedly, this revealed that he was fully aware of the matter.
It's too late to play dumb now.
Now that she had realized what was happening, Su Lin could only tremble and grit her teeth, refusing to utter another word.
I silently prayed that the police couldn't find any evidence and were just asking me to come and cooperate with their investigation...
She was led into a temporary detention cell by the police with her head down, and sat there listlessly.
Clang!
Watching the iron gate slam shut, my spirits plummeted to rock bottom!
Not long ago, she went to the detention center to visit her younger brother, Su Yao, who was awaiting trial.
One is inside, and one is outside.
If they had accepted the 10 million yuan settlement offer, they would probably already have the money and be living a happy life.
However, it was too late for regrets...
Ironically, before he could even visit again, he himself had already been arrested.
They might become incarcerated siblings in the future.
He escaped charges of illegally transferring assets and laundering money overseas, but ultimately, due to his brother's coercion, he was forced to choose the path of hiring a hitman, which was still a crime.
Moreover, it involves penalties for more serious crimes.
My brother will at most be sentenced to five years for transferring assets and money laundering; the lawyer has already analyzed the case for him.
But what about myself?
The murder was hired, and it's still unknown whether Lin Chu is dead or alive.
A person's death and an attempted murder are two different things.
Su Lin was also filled with trepidation.
After all, her crime carries a maximum penalty of death, and should be carried out immediately!
At this moment, the last glimmer of hope, the last straw, in her heart was Song Yuhong, who had not yet received her lawyer's fees.
In the waiting room for the court hearing, Song Yuhong had already gotten the whole story from her.
Song Yuhong promised that she would definitely defend her and get her out of jail!
All I had to do was grit my teeth, admit nothing, and prevent the police from obtaining my statement and crucial evidence. In short, I had to stall!
Having thought of so much in such a short time, Su Lin let out a long, trembling breath.
"call……"
I suddenly felt a chill in the detention room, and goosebumps rose all over my body.
Splash!
She raised her hand and saw the silver bracelet on her wrist. She was stunned and lost in thought. Tears fell without her noticing. Her mind was in complete turmoil, and she couldn't tell whether it was regret or resentment.
The other party claimed to be a professional, so how could they have been caught by the police?
Now I've been implicated and arrested too, and I have absolutely no idea how things will develop...
Just as Su Lin sat silently in the detention room, feeling frustrated.
Sudden!
Bang!
The iron door to another interrogation room outside was opened, and the chattering of a group of people came through.
"Thank you for your hard work, officers!"
"Thanks to you all this time!"
"It's alright, it's alright. You chose to call the police in time and provide evidence, which prevented more innocent people from being harmed. We should be thanking you."
"The suspect has been brought back to us. The evidence is conclusive. The next step is to go through the proper procedures."
"Okay, thank you for your cooperation. The statement has been taken. The rest is up to us. We will notify you as soon as we have the results."
"There shouldn't be any further cooperation needed. Since we have a lawyer representing us, it's fine for the lawyer to attend certain events."
"Mr. Lin, you have plans to travel abroad soon, right? We saw that you applied for a visa to travel abroad. Oh, no, no, it won't be affected. After all, you are the victims here, so you can pass through customs normally..."
Hearing the chattering in the hallway outside, Su Lin's heart jumped into her throat.
Splash!
He hurriedly and clumsily stood up, stumbled to the iron door of the detention cell, and strained his ears to inquire, hoping to hear some clearer sounds.
The few words she vaguely heard made her mind a complete mess.
In fact, she had already realized something, but she was somewhat unwilling to admit it...
Lin Chu?
Call the police?
The victim!?
What does this mean? Is Lin Chu also at the police station? Is he not dead?!
Was the plan a failure, or was it never even carried out?
Is Lin Chu alright or injured?
Those unclear conversations completely shattered the last shred of hope in Su Lin's heart. She broke down, grabbed the iron gate railing, and cried out in despair.
"Lin Chu!! It was you, wasn't it?! You were the one who called the police and had them arrest me, weren't you?!"
"Come out and see me!! Come see me!!"
"We're not divorced yet! I'm still your wife, I'm Mai Mai's mother! You can't treat me like this!!"
"Tell them to let me go! Let me go!!"
"Lin Chu, come see me! I need to see you!"
"Lin Chu!!"
At this moment, Su Lin's shouts turned into sobs, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
The frustration in her heart had completely clouded her remaining rationality.
From the moment she listened to her best friend and brother's advice and forced Lin Chu to participate in the variety show "Let's Get a Divorce, My Love," everything began to develop in a direction she couldn't control.
First, Lin Chu, who had always been obedient to her, began to disregard her and exposed her lies and pretense without any scruples in front of the camera.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Chu went even further, directly confronting her on camera and engaging in a sharp exchange.
After that, there was a divorce, a lawsuit, and she left with nothing...
One thing after another forced her to this point, putting her in handcuffs and locking her in prison.
At this moment, all she wanted was to see Lin Chu appear before her!
Otherwise, she would absolutely not let it go.
But if Lin Chu refused to come see her, she was completely helpless, and her mind was in complete chaos, causing her to cry out in panic.
The sound echoed in the police station corridor and naturally reached Lin Chu's ears as she bid farewell to her legal team and the police.
The police officers around them, hearing the cries coming from the direction of the detention cell, exchanged bewildered glances.
He subconsciously looked at Lin Chu.
“Mr. Lin, you don’t actually need to meet with the suspect. You should avoid making her too emotional.”
"Once the case is thoroughly investigated, we will file a criminal prosecution, and you won't even need to show up."
“Even if we can file a criminal prosecution, you and the suspect still need to handle your divorce case yourselves.”
"At this point, I suggest you listen to the advice of a lawyer."
Upon hearing this, the surrounding legal team members immediately looked at Lin Chu, awaiting his opinion.
