Chapter 279: Innocence
While speaking, Lu Zheng glanced at Zhong Nianyao beside Lu Yichen. He was obviously very curious about this person who suddenly appeared beside Lu Yichen. However, due to Lu Yichen's identity, he absolutely did not dare to look openly.
Lu Yichen didn't say anything, but turned his head to look at Zhong Nian Yao, as if he was saying something silently.
"What the man said is true." Zhong Nianyao nodded. "He didn't do this voluntarily, but was controlled. His real intention was probably to take the little girl's life."
"impossible."
Before Lu Yichen could say anything, Lu Zheng at the side couldn't help but refute, "Our people have already checked, there's nothing on this man. He's not possessed, and there aren't any signs of evil spirits or anything like that."
In his opinion, this was just an ordinary hostage-taking incident, and his special department had no need to intervene. If this person had not been sent by the highest commander, he would have ignored such a trivial matter.
However, after a night of investigation and questioning, he found nothing except that the criminal was stubborn. He had planned to report the case to his superiors and send the man back to the regular police department to handle the matter.
"Are you sure?" Zhong Nianyao looked at Lu Zheng, her tone calm, without a hint of questioning, simply stating a fact, "That man really wasn't pretending. He was being controlled before. Now that the thing controlling him has left, he's awakened, but he's also completely lost that memory."
"That's absolutely impossible," Lu Zheng said directly. "We've already had someone special check it out, and there's no trace left. If that man was truly controlled, we'd definitely be able to find out."
Lu Zheng's tone was harsh as he spoke, and there was a hint of hostility when he looked at Zhong Nianyao. In his eyes, Zhong Nianyao was just an outsider. If she hadn't been with the highest-ranking officer, she wouldn't even be able to enter their special department. Now she had the audacity to speak so arrogantly and question their abilities.
Zhong Nianyao ignored Lu Zheng's doubts and hostility. She looked at Lu Yichen and said directly, "Can I go in and take a look?"
Lu Zhengdi's expression turned even uglier. In his opinion, Zhong Nianyao's behavior was a sign of doubting their department's capabilities. If they couldn't even handle such a small matter, wouldn't that clearly indicate incompetence?
It was especially embarrassing to question him in front of Lu Yichen, their highest commander!
Lu Yichen didn't even look at Lu Zheng, but just nodded, "Okay, let's go in and take a look together!"
Soon, Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao went directly into the interrogation room.
Seeing this, Lu Zheng behind him came to his senses and hurriedly followed in. He wanted to see what kind of ability this woman had to create something out of nothing. He didn't think that the gangster was controlled.
Upon entering the interrogation room, Zhong Nianyao saw the criminal sitting there handcuffed. Compared to his ferocious appearance yesterday, the criminal now looked haggard, but he looked like a simple and honest middle-aged man. He looked nothing like the criminal who had held a little girl hostage yesterday.
"I didn't do it. I really didn't do it."
As soon as he saw someone coming in, the gangster started to defend himself. He scratched his hair and was a little nervous. "I really didn't do anything. Please let me go!"
Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao sat down. Lu Zheng took a look and stood behind Lu Yichen.
Zhong Nianyao rested her elbows on the table, holding her chin, looked at the gangster in front of her, blinked, and then said, "You really didn't do this. You were controlled."
"Right, right, right." Upon hearing that Zhong Nianyao seemed to be on his side, the criminal's originally drooping spirit immediately perked up. He nodded quickly, "I really am innocent. I don't know what happened. I was arrested and brought here. They said I held a little girl hostage and almost hurt her."
"Sir, maybe this guy is mentally ill!" Lu Zheng at the side couldn't help but speak up, "That's why he forgot what happened this time. Why don't we find a mental health expert to take a look at him!"
This is also what they have studied and think is the most likely reason. The criminal does not seem to be lying, so it can only be a case of mental illness.
However, they had also investigated and found that the man was normal on a daily basis and had no history of any mental illness. Of course, the possibility of some sudden mental illness could not be ruled out. These cases should be diagnosed by a psychiatric specialist first.
Regardless of whether it is a mental illness or not, it is the business of the ordinary public security department, not the jurisdiction of their special department.
Lu Yichen didn't even look at Lu Zheng, but just said lightly, "Just watch first!"
After hearing Lu Yichen's words, no matter how dissatisfied he was with Zhong Nianyao, Lu Zheng could only stand quietly aside.
However, because of what happened now, his impression of Zhong Nianyao became even worse. He felt that Zhong Nianyao only had the opportunity to stand by Lu Yichen's side because of that alchemy card, and was completely inferior to Feng Wei.
Zhong Nianyao ignored Lu Zheng's interruption. Her gaze fell firmly on the gangster. What she said made the gangster lose his composure. "Although you were controlled and had no idea what you had done, you are not innocent, are you?"
As soon as these words came out, the gangster's face changed drastically. "What nonsense are you talking about? I've already said it, I really don't remember anything, and I didn't hold anyone hostage."
"You did it of your own accord, didn't you?" Zhong Nianyao's eyes were cold and stern. "Before, I always thought you were innocent and that your body was simply controlled by an evil spirit. But after seeing you today, I realized that this was a deal for you, wasn't it? You also got what you wanted from it."
Upon hearing Zhong Nianyao's words, the criminal's face became visibly panicked. This was a combination of a guilty conscience after being exposed, and a fear of facing an unknown outcome.
Because he knew that he might not be able to escape.
