Captain Xing replayed the video once more.
The first time he watched it, as a policeman, he would observe the woman’s movements.
And everything that could be used as a reference to find this woman.
Gong Chen and Lin Zhiyi weren’t skilled at tracking; they both could only start from the woman herself.
Gong Chen instantly noticed from her body language that this woman was no ordinary person.
"She’s constantly avoiding the people around her, and almost took the wrong exit, suggesting she’s unfamiliar with this place and dislikes the people around her. Also, the most valuable thing on her is her scarf."
Captain Xing asked in confusion, "Are you saying this strip of cloth a bit thicker than a hairband is the most expensive? How much could it be? It can’t be several hundred, can it?"
"Twenty-three thousand."
"..." Captain Xing closed his mouth.
At this moment, Lin Zhiyi paused the video.
The woman in the video had just raised her hand to adjust her hat.
"The scarf might not be the most expensive item."
Captain Xing was astonished, "This isn’t expensive? Where else? The hat? It looks pretty ordinary. My supermarket downstairs has these for only thirty yuan."
Lin Zhiyi smiled and with a flick of her finger, pointed at the woman’s nails.
"This."
"I know, manicure, adding some color, sticking some fake gems... oh, real gems?"
Captain Xing reacted quickly, but still found it hard to believe.
Lin Zhiyi nodded, "They’re all real gems, even though they’re not large, she’s adorned them with other colored gems, each around two carats, which isn’t an ordinary price—at least six figures."
Captain Xing spread his hands, looking at his own somewhat rough hands, "Just these ten nails?"
"It’s very trendy in wealthy circles now. Our studio has also hired a nail artist to create similar designs, creating custom-wear nails for emergency needs. Her design was certainly specially customized, perhaps I can ask the nail artist." Lin Zhiyi said.
Captain Xing was greatly shocked.
"Hmm."
"If this is true, then the man we caught is of great use." Gong Chen said.
Captain Xing nodded, "With this video, he can help us catch the real murderer."
Upon hearing this, the three of them simultaneously focused on the woman in the video.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open violently.
Lin Zhiyi jumped at the noise.
A young policeman walked in.
"Captain, Fu Shu is awake. She immediately called a lawyer, wants to pursue the matter to the end, and demands severe punishment for Miss Lin. Um... Miss Lin, as a suspect, cannot leave for now."
"Who did she see?" Gong Chen asked directly.
"Her brother and Old Master Jiang. However, Old Master Jiang left shortly after going in and instructed the doctors to treat her well."
The implication was that Old Master Jiang didn’t have time to say much.
Fu Shu wasn’t an extreme person, even if she approached Gong Chen with a purpose.
But so far, she hadn’t harmed anyone.
Lin Zhiyi always felt her methods went beyond this, but she didn’t want to hurt others.
So it was always just talk until now.
Unexpectedly, her first move was to send Lin Zhiyi into custody.
Gong Chen stated outright, "I can post bail."
The policeman said helplessly, "The reporters who just left have caught wind of something and returned. If you leave, some reporters might claim, Third Young Master, that you’re colluding with us..."
Captain Xing raised the documents in his hand and knocked them on the young policeman’s head.
"What collusion? Watch your language."
The young policeman rubbed his head, "On my way in, I heard reporters saying they’re looking for a scoop. They also said that Third Young Master was cooperating with the captain to investigate the Bai Family, and there must be something inside, whoever can dig it up can explode the news."
Upon hearing this, Captain Xing and Gong Chen exchanged a glance.
For now, Lin Zhiyi really couldn’t be bailed out; they had to follow procedures.
Lin Zhiyi felt this too.
It seemed someone wanted to use her to pressure Gong Chen.
She proactively said, "Then I’ll stay; I trust the police to clear my name."
Gong Chen walked over to her, "I’ll stay with you."
