Hey! The Criminal Assistance System Can Even Be Used Like This? 88

At the very least, they had a motive for committing the crime, and during a thorough investigation and monitoring, they were found to have the time frame for the crime.

All that remained was to ascertain the facts, conduct an on-site investigation at the crime scene, and the perpetrator’s methods and evidence would be laid out on the table for the police.

Very few could withstand the persistent questioning of the criminal police; without coercion, they would separate and continuously question the suspects until their psychological defenses crumbled.

Only those who were extremely depraved and had committed multiple crimes, those who had faced the law several times, could maintain a semblance of composure in such situations.

Thus, Xu Zhizhi only needed to quietly await the outcome, to wait for justice to be served upon the perpetrators.

Finally, around six o’clock in the evening, the police apprehended Lin Yue, who had escaped to the mountains in the neighboring province of Beijing City.

Li Feng estimated they would bring him back by ten that night, as the suspect was incredibly good at evasion, mobilizing hundreds of villagers nearby to locate him.

On the film set, Su Yue sat in a corner with a look of deep concern etched on her face.

Yun Ziwei had asked her to wait for Xu Zhizhi to return, so she could only bide her time there.

Zhong Man observed this and walked over to console her, saying, “Don’t worry, Zhizhi is doing fine; she won’t do anything that would harm others.”

Seeing how young the two were and aware of their limited experiences, she felt compelled to offer her support.

“Thank you, Sister Zhong, you’re so kind,” Su Yue said, lifting her head and forcing out a smile.

It was now five-thirty in the afternoon, and they were about to wrap up for the day. Zhou Ling noticed his fiancée chatting with Su Yue and also came over to offer a few comforting words.

Everyone on set was relatively unconcerned about Xu Zhizhi’s situation; among the entertainment industry, many were already aware of the unfolding events.

They recognized her as someone fiercely opposed to evil, sincere, and kind-hearted, understanding clearly that she would never commit murder.

Only Su Yue was truly anxious, intermittently calling Yun Ziwei for updates.

It was evident she cared deeply about Xu Zhizhi.

So, everyone made a point to check in on her every now and then, hoping she wouldn’t overthink the situation.

Su Yue smiled at Zhou Ling and Zhong Man, indicating that she wouldn’t worry too much and would patiently wait for Xu Zhizhi to return.

After saying this, she glanced at the assistant screenwriter Wang Xin, her eyes reflecting anger and self-loathing.

Wang Xin glared at Su Yue coldly, looking down at her with a clear disdain.

As the crew finished packing up and prepared to head back to the farmhouse for some rest, distant sounds of two cars approaching caught their attention.

This was a familiar sound; despite the village’s poverty, many households owned cars, and seeing them pass by was nothing out of the ordinary.

What surprised everyone was that the two cars stopped on the road outside the filming location, followed by the sounds of car doors opening and slamming shut.

Before anyone could react, seven or eight police officers swiftly exited their vehicles and approached Su Yue and Wang Xin, who was still looking down at her.

Before either of them could react, the officers had already rushed in front of them, arresting them with extraordinary speed and force, fearing that the duo might escape or potentially take hostages.

The leading officer presented a document, stating, “Su Yue, Wang Xin, you are suspected of intentional homicide. Please come with us!”

“You don’t have any evidence; you can’t arrest us!” Wang Xin yelled as he regained his composure, making a loud protest.

His expression was one of grievance, as if he were being wrongfully detained for no reason at all.

Su Yue, on the other hand, turned pale and fell silent, her eyes reflecting a deadened acceptance as she was handcuffed.

The officer looked at Wang Xin and mockingly said, “You can insist you have the documents; the remaining grievances can be voiced at the police station.”

Wang Xin continued to protest innocently and resisted fiercely, desperately trying to break free.

The police turned a deaf ear, swiftly securing the handcuffs on both before escorting them away.

The director remained calm and composed, showing no inclination to intervene.

However, Screenwriter Qian appeared bewildered, prepared to step in with questions, only to be pulled back by Director Meng, who shook his head, signaling him not to involve himself in this matter.

Meng believed in the police’s judgment; they wouldn’t wrongfully accuse an innocent person nor let a guilty one slip away.

Finally, Screenwriter Qian came to his senses, halting his feet and choosing not to pay any further mind to Wang Xin’s futile cries for help.

Thus, Wang Xin, Su Yue, and Lin Yue were all taken into custody.

The three arrived at the police station around ten o’clock that night, walking in together in a neat line.

For Xu Zhizhi’s safety, Li Feng had not allowed her to come forward and had instead taken the three directly into the interrogation room for questioning.

Wang Xin’s background came to light during the investigation.

According to the data, he had not pursued his studies after graduating from high school and opted to work to earn money.

He had not trained in medicine and had not continued his education.

However, sources revealed he had always been fond of medical literature and had been reading related books over the years.

This was corroborated by the medical texts found at his residence.

Among the trio, Su Yue provided the quickest statements but revealed the least information.

After graduating from university, she stayed in Beijing City for work, later marrying a woman who had also lost both parents shortly after their meeting.

This detail intrigued Xu Zhizhi; it turned out Su Yue wasn’t lying about having a child.

However, the information gathered from Su Yue was the least because she only entered the employ of Yun Jiu as an assistant through Wang Xin’s connection after the Jiang Yuchuan incident just a month and a half ago.

Initially, she believed she had taken a regular job taking care of Xu Zhizhi and quietly supporting her family.

Yet, she gradually noticed Wang Xin seemed to be plotting something.

Though she had reservations, Wang Xin, as her brother, had covered her university expenses for four years.

Considering he was only collecting Xu Zhizhi’s hair, eyelashes, and similar things, s
