Clearing Her Name (7)

0As soon as Rong Yan finished speaking, Xu Zhiyuan retrieved a USB drive from his briefcase and handed it to Xiao Xu. After taking a look at it, Xiao Xu immediately understood what Rong Yan meant.

…

"What's your name?"

The police were interrogating Wang Chan in the interrogation room which had an oppressive ambiance because of the dim yellow lights.

"Wang Chan."

"What's your gender, age and relation to the victim?"

"Female… 37 years old. I have nothing to do with Ou Lixue." Wang Chan had been abused by Tang Chao's underlings who took it out on her after she got nabbed. Hence, she was all weak and sluggish like an ill-stricken person.

The police officer slammed his hand against the table with a loud smack.

The continuous pressure given by the superiors made them feel extremely miserable and the delay in the solving of the case also caused citizens to doubt their crime-solving competencies. Now that the criminals had been arrested and Rong Yan had also submitted the USB drive as evidence, they could not take it any longer and hence decided to vent their frustration.

Wang Chan had lived in poverty ever since she was born and after learning hypnosis from her teacher, she thought that she could use it to change her destiny. To her astonishment, the cruelty of society had nothing to do with money. How could it be that easy to rise in status?

For the past decades, she lived in misery and grew extremely green with envy because she had been living in the shadow of the hypnotists whom she were jealous of.

A month ago, her son was diagnosed with leukemia and needed a large sum of money for treatment. However, she only made a monthly income of 4000 yuan. How could she afford to foot her son's medical bills?

While she was feeling flustered and worried, she happened to receive a call from someone who offered to pay her three million dollars, so long as she helped to hypnotize a specific person.

Back then, she did hesitate. Yes, she did want to become famous as a respected and reputable hypnotist.

However, the situation then did not give her an option at all.

Even if she were to use her only asset, the old apartment, as collateral, the bank would probably only grant her a loan of about 180 thousand yuan.

180 thousand yuan was not enough to treat his illness at all!

She had no choice, but to agree. She was willing to do anything for the sake of her son, including giving up her life.

Wang Chan only thought about everything for a while. Her eyes were all glassed over and perhaps she had been terrified after all that beating by Tang Chano's thugs. She would shudder in fear and feel terrorized after seeing that the police officers had flown into a rage.

The police officers suppressed their anger and questioned her about everything that happened that day. They wanted her to spill everything without missing a single detail.

Wang Chan had no idea that the police had already gone to the hotel that she brought Ou Lixue to for a hypnosis session that night.

After giving it some thought, she gritted her teeth angrily. Regardless of how the police questioned her, she would simply answer, "I don't know."

"You're already on the verge of death and yet you're still so stubborn and tight-lipped. I'm telling you, we already have sufficient evidence of you committing a crime on the day of the incident. This interrogation is only a chance for you to come clean. Now, are you going to speak up or not!?!" Xiao Xu stared at Wang Chan, feeling a strong need to uphold justice.

"I. I … I really don't know, I don't know who Ou Lixue is or how she died. I'm really curious, why do you think I killed her? Everyone in the nation knows that Young Madam Rong was the one who killed that female celebrity. You can't be thinking of making me the scapegoat, can you?"
