Chapter 115: Conclusive Evidence

"Investigator Huang, one must speak with evidence. You suspect me, that's fine, but where is the evidence? If you have no evidence, don't go around spouting nonsense. Be careful, or I'll sue you for defamation!"

Ye Lin leaned back tactically, lying flat on the sofa, signaling the technician to continue the foot massage, and thereafter, no matter what Huang Litian asked him, he kept his mouth shut.

Huang Litian’s face turned livid; he was now certain that Ye Lin absolutely had an inescapable connection to the death of Zhuge Qianxing and the disappearance of Wang Lichuan, Tan Qingjiang, and the others.

However, Ye Lin was right; this time, just like the Kensen case last time, there was still no evidence!

And what made it even trickier than last time was that the current Ye Lin was not only the top scholar of Qingcheng, but also the national top scholar!

With such a status, if there was no substantive evidence, he simply could not touch a single hair on Ye Lin.

"Don't you worry! I have already had people pull all the surveillance footage from this period. If you disguised yourself as Ling Ye to leave the city, then in these seven days, there will definitely be evidence that you were not in the city!" Huang Litian said coldly.

Soon, Xu Xiu pushed the door open and walked in; Huang Litian did not notice Xu Xiu’s ugly expression and asked in a cold voice.

"Ye Lin, didn't you want evidence? I'll give it to you right now."

Huang Litian reached out his hand in front of Xu Xiu.

"That... Master, the surveillance from five days ago to three days ago has all been destroyed for unknown reasons," Xu Xiu said with a bitter face.

"What!" Huang Litian was both shocked and furious, his face twisting.

"Yes... and three days ago, the first time the surveillance captured Ye Lin appearing was at the entrance of the villa district in the suburbs. He hailed a taxi, and we have already found the taxi driver. The driver said he saw Ye Lin four days ago and gave him two rides," Xu Xiu said.

"Impossible! Bring the person to me!" Huang Litian was extremely angry.

Soon, the taxi driver who had previously picked up Ye Lin was brought before Huang Litian.

After entering the private room, he saw Ye Lin, his expression changed immediately, and he even stuttered when he spoke.

"In-in-investigator my lord, I really didn't introduce him to come here to find the centipede's natural predator, please don't arrest me!"

Huang Litian: "......"

His lie-detection ability had already determined that the taxi driver was lying, but he wasn't from the anti-vice squad!

"Who asked you about that!" The veins on Huang Litian’s forehead throbbed as he pointed at Ye Lin and asked, "You gave him a ride four days ago, didn't you?"

"I... I didn't," the taxi driver said, his eyes darting away.

"Tell the truth! I won't arrest you. If you lie again, I will arrest you immediately!" Huang Litian shouted sternly.

At the same time, his profession was revealed.

[Huang Litian, Master Lie Detector.]

As soon as the taxi driver saw Huang Litian’s profession, his face turned pale instantly. Having reached the master level in the life profession of a lie detector, it went without saying that Huang Litian must have interrogated countless people.

Trying to lie in front of Huang Litian was definitely seeking his own death.

"That... if I confess, can you not leave a criminal record for me? I have children at home, and I'm afraid it will affect their chances of taking the civil service exam," the taxi driver said with a mournful face.

"Tell me everything you know. If it is helpful to this case, not only will I not arrest you, but I will also reward you," Huang Litian coaxed.

"Okay! I'll talk, I'll talk!"

The taxi driver nodded like a pounding pestle.

"I did give him two rides, but I really can't remember the exact time. Anyway, it was about three or four days ago. The first time, he was drunk and brought two women into the car, and he buried his head right into the big breasts of the woman next to him. Investigator, you don't know, those breasts were really big and white..."

"Stop!" Huang Litian had black lines on his forehead. "Get to the point!"

"Oh, oh, oh. Then the next morning, I picked him up again. This time, as soon as he got in the car, he said he wanted to find the centipede's natural predator and even gave me a stack of money. I was momentarily blinded by greed, so I took him there!"

As he spoke, the driver even took out the money Ye Lin had given him and placed it honestly on the table.

"I beg for leniency; I didn't dare spend a single cent!"

Huang Litian’s chest heaved violently as he stared fixedly at the driver and asked.

"Are you sure you picked him up twice, and one time was at night and one time was in the morning?"

"I'm sure," the taxi driver nodded.

Huang Litian’s head exploded with a boom, because he discovered that the taxi driver was actually not lying!

"Then where did you take him?" Huang Litian pressed.

"The Underground Wonderland Club..." the taxi driver blushed slightly.

Huang Litian immediately signaled Xu Xiu to bring over the staff from the Underground Wonderland Club.

But upon interrogating the club staff, the answer received was that Ye Lin had indeed been there, the time was about three or four days ago, he had gone twice, and had even broken a vase.

According to Huang Litian’s assessment, these people were all telling the truth!

Huang Litian’s face grew darker and darker.

The surveillance was destroyed, and the witnesses found were all proving that Ye Lin had been in the city these past few days and hadn't gone anywhere.

The evidence he currently had actually all pointed to Ye Lin being innocent!

"Investigator Huang, don't be so hot-headed. Shall I call a few technicians over to help you vent your frustration? Don't worry, I've tried them, they're very smooth~"

Ye Lin looked at Huang Litian with a smile; long before he had left the city, he had already begun laying out his plan.

Now, in all of Qingcheng, whoever mentioned the national top scholar Ye Lin, the first word they would associate him with would definitely be "self-abandonment."

How could such a person be involved in the death of Mr. Zhuge or the disappearance of big shots like Tan Qingjiang and Wang Lichuan?

As for the taxi driver and the staff at the Underground Wonderland helping him testify, that was even simpler.

These two professions came into contact with a huge number of people every day; how could they remember things so clearly?

The human brain automatically folds away some repetitive memories; for example, if you live the exact same life every day, you will feel that the days pass very quickly.

At this time, Ye Lin only needed to give a little psychological suggestion. When a person tells a lie that even they themselves believe, they are no longer lying.

Then, having Guo Qin destroy part of the surveillance—with Guo Qin’s speed, he could even handle Tan Qingjiang’s wife, so handling surveillance was a piece of cake.

In this way, Ye Lin had a perfect alibi for never having left the city.

"Ye Lin! Don't think you've done this flawlessly. As long as it was done, it will leave traces! I will definitely find them!" Huang Litian said through gritted teeth.

"Is that so? Officer Huang, as a master lie detector, you should firmly believe that no one can lie in front of you, right?" Ye Lin asked with a smile.

"That goes without saying!"

Huang Litian narrowed his eyes. Although he wasn't skilled at fighting or the like, when it came to lie detection, he had absolute confidence.

Ye Lin glanced at Huang Litian and then spoke calmly.

"Don't you keep suspecting that I and Ling Ye are the same person? Then I might as well tell you, just a few days ago, I saw with my own eyes Ling Ye explode into a mist of blood in front of me."
