Chapter 299 Covering up
Xiang Yuntian thought Bai Mengfei's words made sense, so he respected her ideas even more and nodded without saying anything more.
That night, they worked overtime again because Wang Tian and her team spent the entire afternoon trying to find Han Cai, who was out at a bar with her friends.
Even after being taken to the interrogation room, Han Cai's head was still swaying back and forth.
Bai Mengfei personally took her for a checkup, which revealed that she had banned substances in her body, with the level of hydroxybutyric acid (HbA1c) seriously exceeding the standard.
After bringing Han Cai back to the interrogation room, Bai Mengfei stared at her and said, "You are over 18 years old. In our country, the crime of taking banned drugs is serious, and you will be detained for at least a year."
Han Cai was speechless at this point, and the effects of the medicine had worn off, so her condition was relatively normal.
She sat in her seat, shivering slightly, and pleaded, "Excuse me, could you please turn off the air conditioning? I'm so cold!"
As she spoke, she sniffled.
In fact, the interrogation room didn't have air conditioning on at all.
Bai Mengfei was somewhat helpless, so she asked Wang Tian to get her a blanket and pour her a cup of hot water.
After Han Cai wrapped herself in the blanket, she held the cup of hot water in her hands, but her body still trembled uncontrollably.
"Feeling better now? Actually, the police know everything you've done. If you don't want anyone to know, don't do it in the first place. Don't think no one will suspect you," Bai Mengfei said sternly.
Upon hearing Bai Mengfei's words, Han Cai immediately raised her head, a look of panic in her eyes.
"What did you say?" Han Cai swallowed hard, her face filled with panic. "What do you know?"
"You caused the death of your adoptive father, Han Jie," Bai Mengfei stated the truth directly.
Han Cai was taken aback, frowned, and said, "No! How could you think that? Why would I kill him? You..."
"What do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'what do you mean'? I'm just stating the facts," Bai Mengfei replied calmly.
Han Cai sighed, then slowly raised her head and looked at Bai Mengfei, saying, "No, I didn't kill my father. I didn't do such a thing."
"Then this matter is related to you, isn't it?" Bai Mengfei pressed.
Han Cai chose to remain silent on this matter.
"Whether you did it or not, you're definitely involved in this. Tell us everything you know. Otherwise, once we have solid evidence of your crimes, the consequences will be severe," Bai Mengfei warned.
After thinking for a long time, Han Cai said, "I...I know it might have been me, but I have a split personality."
"Is that so?" Bai Mengfei's tone was extremely cold. "Whether you have a split personality or not, as a forensic doctor, I can find out with a simple examination. You can't hide it from me!"
Han Cai even nodded heavily, insisting that she had a split personality, attempting to use this to shirk responsibility.
After a series of tests, it was finally confirmed that Bai Mengfei had no mental illness at all.
This really wasted a lot of Bai Mengfei's time.
An hour later, they returned to the interrogation room. Bai Mengfei slammed the test report on the table and said bluntly, "After a comprehensive evaluation by several of us forensic doctors, you have no mental illness. Stop pretending! If you want to drag this out, I have plenty of time. Is staying up all night enough? If not, I have more time to keep you entertained."
Han Cai broke down in tears and said, "I want to see my master's disciple, Chang Chun."
"You mean Attorney Chang? Okay, I'll call him right now." After saying that, Bai Mengfei really had Wang Tian go and find Chang Chun.
When Chang Chun arrived, he looked up at Wang Tian helplessly, his eyes filled with fear. It seemed Chang Chun was likely in the know as well; otherwise, why would he be so guilty?
“Mr. Chang, she is a major criminal suspect, and our police will not grant her bail,” Bai Mengfei said.
Chang Chun nodded somewhat guiltily and said, "Actually, regarding this case, I..."
"What's wrong with you?" Bai Mengfei asked.
Chang Chun gritted his teeth, hardened his heart, and said, "I admit it, I killed my master."
Upon hearing this, Bai Mengfei's slightly furrowed brows immediately relaxed, because she knew that Chang Chun didn't have the guts and couldn't possibly be the murderer. "Mr. Chang, you are a lawyer, so you should know that taking the blame for someone else is no small matter. Are you sure you want to do this? In the end, not only will you not be able to protect her, but you may also harm yourself and ruin your future."
After listening to Bai Mengfei's analysis of the pros and cons, Chang Chun still insisted on confessing and turning himself in, saying, "I know, but I really did kill Master. I took money from a stranger who asked me to do it. I was greedy and had a bad idea, so I killed Master. I thought that now that Master is dead, I will inherit his position."
"Oh, really? Then where's the money?" As a forensic doctor, Bai Mengfei naturally wouldn't just believe his one-sided story.
“The money is in my account, a total of more than 800,000 yuan,” Chang Chun said.
He killed his master over a mere 800,000 yuan?
How is this possible?
Take Zheng Yueru hiring Fan Tianchou for example, the money she paid must have been more than that, right?
However, since Chang Chun had said so, Bai Mengfei asked Wang Tian to investigate. The results of the investigation were self-evident; it proved that the money in Chang Chun's account was his own money, and it was consistent with his income as a lawyer.
In the dead of night, Bai Mengfei was still busy at the police station and hurriedly arrived at the interrogation room.
“Attorney Chang, we’ve already checked. The money in your account was deposited by yourself.” Bai Mengfei exposed Chang Chun without any mercy.
Chang Chun was speechless for a moment, and could only blink silently, not knowing what to say.
He pondered deeply, weighing the options repeatedly.
After much deliberation, he looked at Bai Mengfei and said, "Alright, I didn't kill him. But it definitely wasn't Han Cai who did it either, it couldn't be." Chang Chun seemed somewhat frantic.
"It's come to this point, what's the point of you still protecting her?" Bai Mengfei asked calmly.
But he still stubbornly protected Han Cai, saying, "I'm telling the truth."
“We will find the evidence!” Bai Mengfei said firmly. “Then, we will also prosecute you for harboring a criminal. Just wait and see how you defend yourself!”
At 2:54 AM, Bai Mengfei received the document approved by Zhao Fei. At 3:16 AM, Bai Mengfei, Xiang Yuntian, and Wang Tian arrived at Han Jie's home to conduct an investigation.
As soon as they entered Han Jie's house, they found Han Cai's room.
After a careful search, Bai Mengfei found many medicines in Han Cai's room, including the "smart drug" Lidolin, as well as an old-fashioned mobile phone.
