A person is often most complacent when they are at their most triumphant. Qi Huan exploited this psychological trait of Han Lin, turning defense into offense and delivering a fatal blow. At this moment, Han Lin gritted his teeth, his brows furrowed, glaring at the smug Qi Huan.
"The voice in the recording isn't mine!" Han Lin suddenly shouted from his chair.
Liang Zichen stood to the side and laughed after hearing Han Lin's words. After a while, Liang Zichen stopped laughing and looked at Han Lin with a slightly sarcastic tone, saying, "Do you think we're all mentally challenged or deaf? In broad daylight, perfectly healthy people, you insist on lying through your teeth."
"The voice in the recording was synthesized by her in post-production; it's not my voice at all!" Han Lin continued to defend himself vehemently.
Liang Zichen wanted to say something more, but at that moment, Wang Shen stood beside him, patted his shoulder, and gestured for him to stop. Wang Shen looked at Han Lin for a moment, then slowly said, "Manager Han, we've had quite a bit of contact. In my mind, you've always been a refined and cultured person." After saying this, Wang Shen stopped and quietly looked at Han Lin.
At first, Han Lin and Wang Shen stared at each other for a moment. But then, Han Lin avoided Wang Shen's gaze and lowered his head slightly. "Officer Wang, just say what you want to say, there's no need to beat around the bush."
Wang Shen smiled and nodded. "In my heart, I've always felt that someone who can be so refined in their conduct must be intelligent. I believe Manager Han is intelligent. That day at your house, I also explained to you in detail the findings of our investigation regarding A-Cheng. Based on the clues and evidence I currently have, given a little more time, I believe the truth will definitely come to light. Moreover, surrendering and arrest, when it comes to sentencing..." Wang Shen didn't finish his sentence, but instead observed Han Lin's expression again.
After hearing Wang Shen's words, Han Lin's anxious expression calmed down considerably. Han Lin didn't say anything more, but instead lowered his head even further.
"Fortunately, Acheng is no longer in mortal danger. Therefore, no irreparable mistakes have been made," Wang Shen continued to guide Han Lin.
Han Lin seemed moved. His lips moved slightly, then he slowly raised his head to look at Wang Shen. Han Lin sighed, and his mouth slowly opened, "Actually, I..."
A strange thing happened... Everyone was waiting for Han Lin to give a complete account so that this bizarre case that had "backfired" could be put to rest. But just at this moment, Wang Shen suddenly interrupted Han Lin.
"Of course, the recording issue that Manager Han just mentioned could indeed be what you suspect. As everyone knows, there are so many powerful audio editing software programs available now. So I can't rule out the possibility that this recording was fabricated by Qi Huan in post-production."
When Wang Shen finished speaking, everyone looked at him with surprise. This included Han Lin, of course. Xu Xiaolin, who had been listening nearby, was furious. She walked over to Wang Shen, tugged at his sleeve, and angrily said, "Wang Shen, are you out of your mind or have you gone mad? Isn't it obvious that Han Lin plotted to harm A-Cheng? What exactly are you trying to do?"
Wang Shen glanced at Xu Xiaolin, ignoring her words and offering no further response. "However, as I just said, facts are facts. We'll take this recording back to the police station for technical analysis. Whether it's true or false, everything will become clear. So, please go home and rest today. Once you've recovered, feel free to contact me anytime if you have anything you'd like to say."
"No! He can't leave! He's the murderer!" Qi Huan seemed to be about to release Han Lin after hearing Wang Shen's words. Qi Huan absolutely couldn't allow that to happen, so she immediately stood up from the bedside and shouted excitedly at Wang Shen.
Wang Shen glanced at Xu Xiaolin, gesturing for her to comfort Qi Huan. However, Xu Xiaolin glared at Wang Shen and remained unmoved. At this moment, Liang Zichen immediately rushed to Qi Huan's side, stopping her impulsive act of trying to rush towards Han Lin.
Wang Shen didn't respond to Qi Huan's words, but instead stepped aside and gestured towards the door. "Given your current inability to move around, let me take you home to rest."
Not only were the others confused, but even Han Lin was now bewildered. No one knew what Wang Shen was up to. Wang Shen looked at Han Lin for a moment, then walked over to him, untied the rope binding Han Lin's hands, and, under everyone's gaze, helped Han Lin step by step out of the room.
Liang Zichen ran to Xu Xiaolin's side, staring at her angry face, and said, "Beautiful writer, you've known Captain Wang longer than I have. I believe Captain Wang must have his reasons for doing this. Captain Wang would never let any guilty person go unpunished. You should trust him more than I do. As for her," Liang Zichen glanced at Qi Huan's sorrowful face and continued, "You should comfort her first. Captain Wang will definitely give this case an explanation. Oh, and I'll take this phone for now, and return it to her after I'm done." With that, Liang Zichen picked up Qi Huan's phone, which was still lying to the side, ran out of the room, and followed Wang Shen.
Liang Zichen sat in the back seat of the car with Han Lin, making it easier to protect and monitor him. The entire journey from Qi Huan's house to Han Lin's house was completely silent. Only after Wang Shen and Liang Zichen safely escorted Han Lin home, and Wang Shen left Han Lin's house, did he speak, "Manager Han, please get some rest. However, please think carefully about what I said, and don't let everything become irreversible." After saying this, Wang Shen didn't bother to observe Han Lin's reaction and closed the door to Han Lin's house.
The car started up again, and Wang Shen rolled down the window a little. The car sped along the elevated highway, the wind whistling through the window. Wang Shen glanced at his watch, slightly surprised, and said, "I didn't expect to spend so much time at Qi Huan's house. How about we grab something to eat and have a couple of drinks?" Wang Shen turned to look at Liang Zichen.
Upon hearing Wang Shen's words, Liang Zichen glanced at Wang Shen as well and nodded.
Soon, Wang Shen's car stopped in front of a small tavern. The tavern wasn't large, with a Japanese-style architectural style, but it was very quiet inside. After ordering, the first thing Wang Shen brought out was a bottle of plum wine. Wang Shen poured a glass of wine for Liang Zichen, who swirled the ice in the glass and then took a sip.
Wang Shen refilled his glass and took a sip. He put down his glass, glanced at Liang Zichen, and said, "You certainly won't understand my actions. Han Lin's crime is an undeniable fact, and he later planned to confess everything, but why would I choose to let him go at this point?"
