Before Lin Zhiyi could come up with a plan for a dog-eat-dog fight, Li Huan approached.
"It’s confirmed, Bai Ruoshu is indeed pregnant, and she’s experiencing some bleeding. She wants to accuse Captain Xing of violent enforcement, insinuating that he wants her to miscarry. Because of this, the police station can only temporarily assign another officer to monitor her instead of Captain Xing."
Lin Zhiyi bit her lip, "Does this mean Bai Ruoshu definitely won’t have to go to jail?"
"Yes. At least not until the child is born, and if we don’t want Captain Xing to be accused, we better pray for her safe delivery," Li Huan said helplessly.
Captain Xing had been tirelessly working on this case, and it wouldn’t be fair for him to end up in a lawsuit because of it.
As if that news wasn’t bad enough, Li Huan brought even worse news.
"Not only that, Bai Ruoshu completely denied her and Yang Jingwei’s involvement in Gong Yao’s matter, claiming that it was Gong Yao who coerced them into doing it." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
"What? Gong Yao already presented evidence," Lin Zhiyi said incredulously.
Gong Chen discerned some implied meaning.
"Li Huan is saying that all the evidence Gong Yao presented can only prove that they were coerced and that they are the main perpetrators. Now, as they shirk responsibility, we must present other evidence to prove their words."
"Yes, if we don’t, this will drag on, as coercion and voluntary action are completely different concepts and incur different penalties," Li Huan added.
Lin Zhiyi was stunned.
Does it mean that with these three making such a fuss, it might take a very long time to resolve the case?
Gong Chen nodded.
"I don’t think Captain Xing would rush to close the case just to send them all to prison."
Seeing Lin Zhiyi’s distressed expression, Li Huan immediately comforted her, "But don’t worry too much, there’s still someone who can testify against Yang Jingwei."
"Fang Sisi," Lin Zhiyi blurted out.
The one they once saved but later betrayed them.
Who was later instigated to almost set fire to kill Lin Zhiyi and Jian Xi.
But ended up severely injured herself.
To close the case, Captain Xing announced that Fang Sisi was dead.
In reality, Fang Sisi had been secretly receiving treatment.
Li Huan nodded, speaking softly, "Fang Sisi has regained consciousness and can testify; Yang Jingwei can’t escape. However..."
"What’s wrong now?" Lin Zhiyi asked anxiously.
"Previously, Fang Sisi’s mental instability and repeated changes in her testimony mean her evidence could easily be challenged. Before that, it’s best to find a better way. After all, life imprisonment and the death penalty are completely different consequences."
For someone like Yang Jingwei, she deserves the death penalty.
Lin Zhiyi agreed with Li Huan; although Yang Jingwei is doomed, different charges could affect her sentence.
They must find a way to confirm Yang Jingwei’s crimes.
As she thought, a brilliant idea flashed in Lin Zhiyi’s mind.
"I have a way, but I need to meet Bai Ruoshu."
"You plan to tell Bai Ruoshu about her true relationship with Yang Jingwei?"
As expected, Gong Chen could see right through everything.
"Yes, but I still don’t know how Bai Ruoshu’s mother really died. After all, Yang Jingwei must have a reason to impersonate her. Does Bai Zhengxian know?"
Lin Zhiyi mused.
Feeling like the missing piece of the puzzle was almost in place.
Maybe finding this reason would solve everything.
