Chapter 558

"Just you wait—if my wife gets hurt because of you, I will absolutely sue you in court."

Chen Fan had heard this routine until he was sick of it.

Basically every quibbling criminal would say something about suing them in court once they got out.

But in the end, the result was always the same: real clues were found, and they were sent to the courtroom for trial and thrown into prison.

"Fine, we were going to give you a chance. If you talk, it can still count as turning yourself in."

"If you don't talk, then suit yourself. Don't be so confident—the law will absolutely never allow anyone to remain at large."

Old Song said as much.

The three of them were about to leave the interrogation room together.

Just before leaving, the man called Chen Fan back.

The man said, "I know who you are, Chen Fan—celebrity forensic doctor. You've cracked a lot of cases, and your autopsy skills are top-notch."

"But… without a body, you have no way of finding clues either, right?"

Chen Fan smiled and said, "Looks like you know me pretty well. You know my specialty is autopsy."

The man said, "It's not that I know you—it's that you're too famous. You can act smug now, but sooner or later, someone will come for you."

Listening to those threatening words.

Chen Fan shrugged and said, "Whatever. Plenty of people come looking for me anyway. Look or don't, I don't care."

"Of course, if they do come, it's just delivering performance points to me. I haven't racked up enough First-, Second-, and Third-Class Merits yet."

"Just let them come."

Dropping those words, Chen Fan left the interrogation room.

That final exchange also confirmed Chen Fan's own thoughts: the missing wife had definitely been killed by her own husband.

Chen Fan soon returned to his room.

In his drowsy state, Chen Fan sensed someone had entered his room.

The next second.

That person threw themselves right onto Chen Fan.

Another sleepless night.

……

The next day.

In order to find the missing body, Li Tian, Old Song, Chen Fan, and the others began reviewing the surveillance footage from the surrounding area.

If the man had really dumped the body out in the wild, there would definitely be traces left behind.

Watching surveillance footage was an extremely time-consuming task.

But that situation didn't last long. That morning, a man walked into the police station and found Li Tian.

At the time, everyone was watching the surveillance footage around the villa, over and over, carefully, just to find a single clue.

"You're saying that late that night, you actually saw that Mr. Li?"

Li Tian asked.

The man nodded and said, "It was already very late that night, and on top of that it was snowing, so I was driving slower than usual."

"When I passed by a lake, I saw a cargo truck parked beside it. I found it pretty strange—after all, it was the middle of the night, and the truck didn't look like it had broken down."

"So I got out to see what was going on with the vehicle. I often drive long hauls, so I figured maybe the driver was in some kind of trouble and I could go up and help."

"Turns out, right next to the truck, I saw that Mr. Li. He glared at me viciously and asked me what I was doing. I said I just got down to take a leak."

"He told me to get lost, so I left. But before I left, I saw behind him a huge machine—if I wasn't mistaken, it was a sawmill machine."

"I didn't think too much about it at the time, and besides I still had to keep driving, so I hurried off. It was only when I came back these past few days and saw your livestream that I rushed over to tell you this lead."

The man finished speaking.

Li Tian couldn't have been happier.

Just when everyone had been struggling to find other evidence to prove it, heaven finally rewarded the diligent.
