Chapter 456

The woman, not quite understanding, said: "I'm avenging my parents — what's wrong with that…"

Chen Fan said: "The case file makes it very clear. The one who drove into and killed them back then wasn't this deceased person — it was a servant from their household. But you kept insisting it was this deceased person who drove into them. What, you don't believe the police's evidence either?"

'I don't believe it. They must have been bribed.'

What an idiot, this person.

The police officer in charge here laughed. He knew this case — when it was being handled back then, plenty of the public hadn't believed it either.

Chen Fan said: "The video captured it."

"Then maybe the video is fake."

Is this woman an idiot?

Chen Fan was speechless. He said: "You don't actually think that just by watching some TV drama you can go commit a crime, steal the dagger, then use the dagger to kill someone, and toss the dagger near the woman's house for the police to find, and that's that, right?"

"Right, one more question — why did you want to be an eyewitness?"

The woman muttered softly: "The police didn't investigate her…"

Hahahahahaha.

Even Chen Fan was amused. He said: "You two are best friends, aren't you…"

The woman froze, looking at Chen Fan in disbelief. "You… how did you know?"

"Actually, the matter with the keys — she must have noticed, she just didn't try to stop you from doing it. And getting your key copied, making a spare, that's pretty normal. Some people have crimes in their hearts — that's understandable. She's introverted by nature, and the fact that you could find her is precisely because of that."

The police officer on the side froze. "A crime of passion?"

Chen Fan said: "Exactly. Probably a crime of passion. Otherwise why keep fixating on this girl? I think the audience actually gets it. Basically, you took that man's compensation money, blew through it, then when you were broke, you kept threatening this man…"

"But then you found out this man was courting your best friend, and that made you even angrier. You thought, why should this woman be the one he's pursuing? It wasn't fair, right?"

"The bags I use, the designer cosmetics — all so expensive, right?"

The woman lowered her head, not daring to look at Chen Fan, unable to say a single word.

"Anyway, I'm not signing… I know, as long as I don't talk, don't sign, they have no choice but to convict me…"

Chen Fan was just about to speak when the police officer beside him said: "If you don't want to sign, then don't sign. It doesn't matter."

Huh?

The girl froze. "That doesn't follow the rules…"

The police officer pulled out a book. "It's written very clearly in here — if the suspect refuses to cooperate and won't sign, it can still proceed."

Hearing this, the woman was completely dumbfounded. This was all wrong.

Chen Fan went on: "You haven't answered my question yet. Are you filial?"

The woman didn't answer.

Chen Fan said: "Let me put it another way. You took the money from your dead parents, spent it, and felt like you were part of high society. Then when the money ran out, you kept going back to that man for more. You didn't want to believe the killer was a servant, because servants don't have money…"

"You just wanted the one who killed your parents to be rich, so you kept pursuing…"

The woman finally couldn't hold it in. "Then, then why did that guy come see me? Why give me money…"

Chen Fan said: "Because he's a good person… what other reason could there be? If he weren't good, would he give you money for nothing? A man who even lets his servant drive the car — you think he'd be that bad?"

The woman was completely dumbfounded.

Kindness — such a foreign word. This woman hadn't heard it in a very long time.

"Surprised? Good, you should be. Someone like you doesn't deserve to hear it. Oh, when you die, remember to tell your parents how you've been filial all these years. By the way, have you ever swept your parents' graves? If not, forget it. After you die, don't go looking for your parents — I'm afraid your parents would be so angry they'd come back to life."

090　Chen Fan stood up and walked out.

Leaving the police to continue the questioning.

Walking out of the interrogation room, Liu Mengyan yawned and said: "Nothing else, I'm heading back?"

"Back to do what? Have some Red Bull, pack your things in a bit, then head straight to work. Didn't you graduate?"

"Don't I need to settle in first?"

"Do you think you need to?"

The woman was speechless. "Fine, fine. Give me three hours — I'll go back and grab some clothes."

Chen Fan nodded.

The Director said: "Take a good look at this woman — where's her special talent?"

"Detail memory, something like hyperthymesia. You could put it that way…"

?????

Hyperthymesia?

Does that thing really exist?

The Director said: "Does that really exist?"

"It exists, but people like this have it rough. This woman's condition is mild, so it's not a big deal. But her memory is ten, even a hundred times better than most people. She can remember things from years ago that clearly. A talent like this — why wouldn't I take her on as a disciple…"

The Director nodded. "Mm, I did the math — she's one year older than you…"

Chen Fan's face darkened. "Director, can we skip that topic?"
