Chapter 51 Why Hesitate



Qi Nuan first briefly described the situation at the scene when the police took Lu Yin away.

Liu Xinyu asked her to wait at home. As Lu Yin's defense lawyer, he had to go to the police to find out the specific situation first.

Qi Nuan agreed and asked another question: "Does Grandpa Lu know about this too? Did he ask you to call me?"

"No, it was the eldest daughter of the Lu family who informed me. She said you might be panicked, so she asked me to inquire about the situation first."

Lu Qian'er? How did she know so quickly?

Qi Nuan didn’t have the mood to think about it right now, she just wanted to pick Lu Yin up as soon as possible.

"Then I'll go home and wait. If you have confirmed news, please contact me immediately."

After hanging up the phone, Qi Nuan decided not to go back to Lu Yin's house for the time being. She was afraid that the housekeeper would hear the news and pass it back to Grandpa Lu, so she asked the bodyguard to send her directly back to her home.

The big bodyguard received the boss's order and did his job conscientiously. Under Qi Nuan's persuasion, he still brought a brother with him and stood on both sides to guard the door of Qi Nuan's house.

It was late at night, Qi Nuan's eyes were sore, but her mind was wide awake and she had no desire to sleep.

She curled up on the sofa in the living room, unable to imagine what Lu Yin, a severe mysophobia sufferer, would look like in the detention center.

I wonder if he has a good resting space, and whether he will lose his temper and get into conflicts because of the dirty and messy surroundings and his sloppy roommates?

Sitting in such a quiet space waiting for him, Qi Nuan couldn't help but keep thinking in her mind, "Is Lu Yin okay?"

The Lu family has excellent professional lawyers. If he is really wronged, the lawyers will naturally help him clear the suspicion.

But she just couldn't feel at ease, and even regretted giving up her decision to become a legal practitioner.

Qi Nuan laughed at himself and shook his head.

She wanted to get out of the contractual relationship with Lu Yin so badly that she even put a locator on him, just to get some evidence against him in exchange for her freedom.

Isn't this a good opportunity? Why did she hesitate?

Qi Nuan was very confused. She thought a lot but could not come up with any answer in her mind. Anxiety and worry made her feel uneasy.

"Dong Dong Dong"

Hearing the knock on the door, Qi Nuan quickly got up.

It was Liu Xinyu who arrived, and the bodyguard asked her if she could let him in.

"Young Madam is worried, right?"

Liu Xinyu sat on the sofa on the side according to Qi Nuan's instructions.

"The estimated time of Tang Yinghai's death has been released: around 3:00 AM on Sunday. Aside from Mr. Lu's ID card, no other physical evidence related to him was found at the scene. Not even fingerprints were recovered."

"Just because of this, they come to arrest people?"

Qi Nuan found it unbelievable. Are suspects defined so simply in criminal cases nowadays?

"Because the car's dashcam was also taken away, the investigators probably wanted to obtain more evidence through surprise arrests and questioning of the suspects."

Liu Xinyu glanced at Qi Nuan and hesitated.

"Senior, if you have anything to say, please speak directly."

Qi Nuan didn't want to elevate her status too much by calling her "Mrs. Lu," so she continued to address her as a junior.

Liu Xinyu nodded and became less reserved.

"The problem now is that there's no evidence to prove Mr. Lu's whereabouts during that timeframe. The car he drove that Sunday evening was later spotted on the road where the accident occurred, about two hours before the estimated time of Tang Yinghai's death."

Qi Nuan was shocked.

But Lu Yin promised her that he had not killed anyone and would not kill anyone.

She took out her cell phone and flipped to the location trajectory map of that period in the early hours of Sunday morning. Lu Yin's location had always been near the cemetery and had hardly moved.

"What if I have a tracking device that can prove he didn't move with that car?"

"You mean, Master Lu has a tracking device on him?"

Liu Xinyu found it unbelievable. Would the strict Young Master Lu allow someone to do this?

Qi Nuan nodded. "If we have a location track, combined with the surveillance footage of the driver, can we conclude that the person isn't Lu Yin?"

"This is indeed evidence. The police only said the car belonged to Mr. Lu and did not explicitly mention the driver."

Liu Xinyu pondered for a while: "Is the locator still on him?"

Qi Nuan looked at the latest location image on her phone and nodded, feeling fortunate that Lu Yin, the mysophobia guy, didn't have time to change his clothes.

"Send me the location track, and I'll apply to check the surveillance along the way right now."

He stood up and said goodbye: "Xiao Nuan, just wait at home and take a rest. If necessary, I will call you to testify."

As the defense lawyer, Liu Xinyu met with Lu Yin again and submitted to the police an alibi proving his absence during the time of Tang Yinghai's death.

Qi Nuan agreed and waited at home. After waiting for several hours, it was the next morning.

Without even having her meal, she rushed to the police station after receiving the news from Lawyer Liu.

Officer Wang, who arrested Lu Yin, participated in the questioning of Qi Nuan's testimony.

"Why do you want to install a locator on the recording?"

"My husband is young, handsome, and rich. He doesn't come home at night. Can't I be on guard?"

“…”

Officer Wang was speechless with her.

But the fact is, the locator was taken out from the pocket of the suit Lu Yinzheng was wearing. He acted very surprised, as if he had no prior knowledge of it.

Lawyer Liu submitted the positioning trajectory, the video of the time when Lu Yin appeared at the cemetery entrance and exit, as well as the video of Lu Yin's luxury car appearing on the highway and the enlarged photo of the driver.
