Chapter 65065 Lin Ye: Unraveling the Mystery
Ding Yu was stunned. "No, Brother Lin, you're not doubting Lu Xuan, are you?"
Lin Ye scoffed and said disapprovingly, "Why? You think he's not a criminal suspect?"
Ding Yu: “…”
"But what's his intention? I've only heard of the second-place winner picking on the first-place winner, but I've never heard of the first-place winner deliberately picking on the second-place winner!"
At least from the confessions they currently have, Lu Xuan has a very good reputation among teachers and classmates. Why would he target Yang An?
Lin Ye calmly circled a name - Pei Qi.
"Pei Qi? We checked, he didn't have the time to commit the crime."
"No. There was indeed a conflict between Lu Xuan and Yang An, but it was Yang An's unilateral attack on Lu Xuan. After Pei Qi and Yang An had that fight, the conflict was completely exposed. Pei Qi received a heavy punishment, a serious offense was recorded in his file, his class was changed by the teacher, and he had to pay a large amount of medical expenses. But Yang An was fine."
Lin Ye crossed his arms. "Pei Qi and Lu Xuan have a very good relationship. They came from the same orphanage and even lived in the same dormitory. Even that fight was Pei Qi helping Lu Xuan. Seeing his friend suffer such a severe punishment, do you think Lu Xuan really didn't feel anything?"
"Furthermore, you saw Lu Xuan's attitude during the interrogation. This kid wasn't timid at all, and even spoke with a sharp edge. This showed he was on guard."
Ding Yu was silent for a long time before he slowly added, "He does have a motive for committing the crime, but we have no evidence. Even the laboratory department said that there is only Yang An's fingerprint on the mineral water bottle. We lack favorable physical evidence!"
"The person who tied the bell must untie it. We have to go find Yang An and ask him clearly."
After saying that, Lin Ye picked up his coat and strode out.
The last time they asked him, Yang An's hesitant look made people suspicious. It was likely that the boy had not told them the whole truth.
Hospital.
Seeing Lin Ye and the others coming, Xia Shiqi eagerly went up to them and asked, "Officer Lin, how's the case going? Have you caught the criminal?"
Lin Ye sat down on a chair as soon as he entered the ward. He calmly spread out his notebook and said, "We still have a few unanswered questions for Yang An. Please step aside for now. It's not convenient to disclose the specific details of the case at this time."
"Officer Lin!"
Before Xia Shiqi could say anything else, Ding Yu had already swiftly led the person out.
Lin Ye raised his eyes, and those cold black eyes seemed to shoot straight into Yang An's heart, making Yang An feel uneasy. "Officer Lin, is there something wrong?"
"You are not telling the truth." Lin Ye said straight to the point.
Yang An: “…”
Lin Ye flipped through his notebook and concluded, "We checked the surveillance footage. You were holding a bottle of mineral water the entire time. This bottle of water was your own; it wasn't purchased by the class. You said at the time that a friend asked you to bring it, and you were going to return it to him once we got to the playground."
"I've checked with your classmates. The bottle of mineral water in your hand was given to Lu Xuan. Your relationship with Lu Xuan is as hostile as fire and water. He is not much of a friend to you. Your confession conflicts with others'. You'd better explain to me where the bottle of mineral water in your hand came from and where it went."
Lin Ye folded his arms and said indifferently, "Otherwise, we will close this case as - you drank the toxic mineral water you brought with you and it caused the poisoning. This incident has nothing to do with the school. You staged a big drama yourself and wasted our police resources."
Hearing this, Yang An immediately became anxious. He said anxiously, "No! I really don't have any!"
Lin Ye's face was stern, and he said seriously, "Then explain to me, where did the mineral water in your hand come from? From the surveillance footage, you were holding it the whole time, and when you were holding it, the box of mineral water in the class was still unopened, proving that the mineral water in your hand was not from the same batch as the mineral water purchased by the class. Because of this, other people are fine drinking mineral water, but you are. And you still say that this is not a drama you directed and acted in yourself?"
Yang An's head was shaking like a rattle, "No! That bottle of mineral water was given to me by my good friend!"
"Which good friend of yours?" Lin Ye grasped the key at once.
Yang An curled his lips and said reluctantly, "It's Z."
"Z? Who is he?" Lin Ye couldn't help but frowned.
Seeing that the truth could no longer be hidden, Yang An could only blurt out everything, "Z is a classmate who hates Lu Xuan just as much as I do."
Lin Ye silently wrote it down in his notebook, "Z? What's his name?"
"have no idea."
Lin Ye was full of questions. I don’t know?
"Isn't he your good friend? You don't even know his name?"
Yang An scratched his head in frustration and muttered, "We've always been in touch through letters. We can only be said to be pen pals with similar interests."
"Interests match? Does that mean you both hate Lu Xuan?"
Yang An: “…”
Looking at the serious Lin Ye, Yang An's heart was pounding and he nodded with difficulty.
"Okay, since you're pen pals, you should have exchanged letters, right?"
Yang An: “…”
He said with difficulty: "No more."
Lin Ye: “????”
Aren’t you pen pals who exchange letters?
At this moment, Yang An truly felt what it meant to shoot himself in the foot. The little notes between them were full of words targeting Lu Xuan. How could they be shown to outsiders? Z was looking for excuses to bully Lu Xuan, and he was responsible for adding fuel to the fire. The two of them cooperated seamlessly.
Z had explained in the letter that what they were doing was shameful and that this note should not be seen by anyone else.
Yang An had always been concerned about his reputation. Lu Xuan's embarrassment in front of everyone was one thing, but his dark thoughts being exposed in public was another. Furthermore, they had deliberately framed Lu Xuan in many cases. What was that little note? It was the evidence they had wronged Lu Xuan! He wouldn't keep the note. As soon as he got it, he would take it to the bathroom stall to examine it. After reading the contents, he threw it into the toilet and flushed it down the drain.
At that moment, Lin Ye was so angry that he almost laughed. "You said Z was your pen pal and that you exchanged letters, but you don't have any of your letters? Aren't you contradicting yourself?"
Yang An lowered his head and muffled his voice, "I threw the letter Z wrote to me into the toilet after reading it and flushed it down the drain."
Lin Ye raised his eyebrows, "Oh? What was written on it? Why are you so anxious to destroy the body?"
Yang An: “…”
