Chapter 115: Conclusive Evidence
"Investigator Huang, you need evidence to speak. You suspect me, that's fine, but where is the evidence? Don't talk nonsense without evidence. Be careful, or I'll sue you for defamation!"
Ye Lin leaned back tactically, lying directly on the sofa, signaling the technician to continue the foot massage. After that, no matter what Huang Litian asked, he remained silent.
Huang Litian's face turned livid. He was now certain that Ye Lin had an inescapable connection to Student Zhuge Qianxing's death and the disappearance of Wang Lichuan and Tan Qingjiang.
However, Ye Lin was right. This time, just like the Kensen case, there was still no evidence!
And what was even trickier than last time was that Ye Lin was now not only the Qingcheng top scholar but the national top scholar!
With such an identity, he couldn't touch Ye Lin at all without substantial evidence.
"Don't worry! I've already had people pull all the surveillance footage from this period. If you disguised yourself as Ling Ye to leave the city, there must be evidence that you weren't in the city during these seven days!" Huang Litian said coldly.
Soon, Xu Xiu walked in. Huang Litian didn't notice Xu Xiu's ugly expression and asked coldly:
"Ye Lin, didn't you want evidence? I'll give it to you right now."
Huang Litian reached out toward Xu Xiu.
"That... Master, the surveillance from five days ago to three days ago was all destroyed for unknown reasons," Xu Xiu said with a bitter face.
"What!" Huang Litian was shocked and furious, his face twisting.
"Yes... and then three days ago, the first time surveillance captured Ye Lin was at the entrance of the villa area in the suburbs. He hailed a taxi. We've already found the taxi driver, and he said he saw Ye Lin four days ago and drove him twice," Xu Xiu said.
"Impossible! Bring that person to me!" Huang Litian was extremely angry.
Soon, the taxi driver who had picked up Ye Lin was brought before Huang Litian.
After entering the private room, he saw Ye Lin, and his expression changed immediately. He even started stuttering:
"In-in-investigator, I really didn't introduce him to come here to find a centipede's natural predator. Don't arrest me!"
Huang Litian: "......"
His lie-detection ability had already detected that the taxi driver was lying, but he wasn't with the vice squad!
"Who asked you about that!" Huang Litian's forehead veins throbbed as he pointed at Ye Lin and asked: "You drove him four days ago, right?"
"I... I didn't," the taxi driver said, his eyes darting around.
"Tell the truth! I won't arrest you. If you lie again, I'll arrest you immediately!" Huang Litian shouted sternly.
At the same time, his profession lit up.
【Huang Litian, Master Lie Detector.】
When the taxi driver saw Huang Litian's profession, his face turned pale instantly. Having reached the master level in a life profession like lie detection, 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 getting a government job," the taxi driver said with a mournful face.
"Tell me everything you know. If it helps with the case, not only will I not arrest you, but I will also reward you," Huang Litian coaxed.
"Okay! I'll say it, I'll say it!"
The taxi driver nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
"I did drive him twice, 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 woman's big breasts next to him. Investigator, you don't know, those breasts were really big and white..."
"Stop!" Huang Litian had black lines on his head. "Get to the point!"
"Oh, oh, oh. Then the next morning, I picked him up again. This time, as soon as he got in, he said he wanted to find a centipede's natural predator and gave me a wad of cash. I was momentarily possessed, so I took him there!"
As he spoke, the driver took out all 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. He stared at the taxi driver and asked:
"Are you sure you picked him up twice, once at night and once in the morning?"
"I'm sure," the taxi driver nodded.
Huang Litian's head exploded with a *bang* because he discovered that the taxi driver was actually not lying!
"Then where did you take him?" Huang Litian pressed.
"The Underground Paradise club..." The taxi driver blushed slightly.
Huang Litian immediately signaled Xu Xiu to bring over the staff from the Underground Paradise club.
However, the answer obtained from interrogating the club staff was that Ye Lin had indeed been there, about three or four days ago, and had gone twice, even breaking 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 all the witnesses found were 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 angry. Should I call a few technicians over to help you vent your fire? Don't worry, I've tried them, they're very smooth~"
Ye Lin looked at Huang Litian with a smile. Long before he left the city, he had already started laying out his plan.
Now, in all of Qingcheng, whoever mentioned the national top scholar Ye Lin, the first word they would associate with him was definitely "self-abandonment."
How could someone like that be involved in Mr. Student Zhuge's death or the disappearance of big shots like Tan Qingjiang and Wang Lichuan?
As for the taxi driver and the club staff 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 so clearly?
The human brain automatically folds some repetitive memories. For example, if you live the exact same life every day, you will feel that time passes very quickly.
At this time, Ye Lin only needed to give a little psychological suggestion. When a person believes the lie they are telling themselves, it is no longer a lie.
Then, having Guo Qin destroy part of the surveillance—with Guo Qin's speed, he could even get to Tan Qingjiang's wife, so destroying surveillance was a piece of cake.
In this way, Ye Lin had a perfect alibi for not having left the city.
"Ye Lin! Don't think you've done this flawlessly. As long as you've done it, you will leave traces! I will definitely find them!" Huang Litian said, gritting his teeth.
"Is that so? Investigator 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 good at fighting, he had absolute confidence when it came to lie detection.
Ye Lin glanced at Huang Litian and then said calmly:
"Haven't you always suspected that I and Ling Ye are the same person? Then I might as well tell you: just a few days ago, I saw Ling Ye explode into a mist of blood right in front of me." ===== CHAPTER 116 =====
