Protagonist:
Lin Hao
Just as Huang Zhicheng was about to open his mouth to speak, Lin Hao spoke up first, saying with a solemn face, "Without a lawyer present, I won't say anything." His tone was resolute, leaving no room for negotiation.
Hearing this, Huang Zhicheng felt utterly helpless inside.
If it were normal times, encountering someone uncooperative like Lin Hao, he would definitely drag it out with the other party, relying on his years of experience and police authority, not believing he couldn't pry the other's mouth open.
But today's matter was different; this case involved Han Chen and Marry, two figures with no small influence on the streets, the situation was very complex, and he had to seize the time to clarify things, so he didn't want to waste too much time on this, delaying the investigation progress.
Just then, Lin Hao saw his lawyer walk in, and his eyes couldn't help but light up. The person who entered was a capable and beautiful female lawyer, with a graceful figure, wearing a proper professional suit, her face bearing a confident and competent expression.
As soon as she entered, she walked straight toward Lin Hao, extended her hand, and said with a smile, "Mr. Lin, I am your lawyer Liang Guixin, did they give you any trouble?"
Lin Hao hurriedly stood up, lightly shook her hand, and said with a smile, "No, no, hello Lawyer Liang, police-civilian cooperation, a law-abiding citizen like me is still very willing to cooperate, it's just that we have to follow the rules, so I only dared speak after you arrived." His appearance was as if he really was a law-abiding good citizen actively cooperating with police work.
Huang Zhicheng had no mind to listen to them exchange pleasantries here, frowning, he hurriedly waved his hand at them, signaling them to sit down quickly, then fixed his gaze tightly on Lin Hao and said, "Mr. Lin Hao, the day before yesterday and last night people saw you together with a woman called Marry, and someone personally saw her ask you to help her kill someone last night, is there such a thing?"
Upon hearing this, Liang Guixin immediately turned her head to look at Lin Hao and said softly, "Mr. Lin, you may not answer this question; there is currently insufficient evidence showing you are related to this matter, you have the right to remain silent."
But Lin Hao waved his hand, looked at Huang Zhicheng, and said unhurriedly, "Since we said police-civilian cooperation, how can we not answer the officer's question? However, Officer Huang, I'm a bit confused by your question. You say someone personally saw a woman called Marry ask me to help her kill someone; since she asked me to kill, that's definitely speaking, and since it's speaking, normally it should be heard, how could it be seen? Could that person read lips? Your statement is a bit contradictory, right?"
Lin Hao's words were logical and well-founded, leaving Huang Zhicheng speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond.
Huang Zhicheng froze for a moment, then reacted, reorganized his language, and said, "Sorry, Mr. Lin, it was last night someone saw a woman called Marry with you, and heard that woman ask you to help her kill someone, is that true or not?"
Hearing this, Lin Hao put on an exaggerated surprised expression and said loudly, "No, of course not! Who would kill someone and say such a thing in front of others? Officer Huang, would you do that? Besides, who told you this? Can you bring that person here to confront me face to face? Without proof, you can't just frame me like this."
Huang Zhicheng didn't expect this Lin Hao to be so difficult to deal with, secretly bitter in his heart, but still continued to ask, "Then is it convenient to ask where Mr. Lin was from 6 PM to 12 AM last night?"
Lin Hao leaned against the chair back, saying with a calm face, "I left the nightclub last night to eat hot pot, then went back to the nightclub, many people saw this, you can go investigate, for such a small matter, was it necessary to bring me here?"
Just at this time, a policewoman walked in, leaned close to Huang Zhicheng's ear, and said in a lowered voice, "Sir, the time of death for Crow and the others was around 12 AM, and all gunshot wounds were inflicted at the same time."
Although she spoke very quietly, Lin Hao's constitution was no ordinary one; his hearing was much better than ordinary people, and he still heard it.
Lin Hao rejoiced inwardly; it seems this space's preservation function is quite useful, at least it can confuse the true time of death, creating favorable conditions for himself; otherwise, if Huang Zhicheng deliberately made things difficult for him, today's matter would really be hard to get out of.
After hearing the policewoman's report, Huang Zhicheng also figured things out in his heart.
He carefully calculated the time and various circumstances, and now understood that Lin Hao should have no suspicion.
After all, they found Lin Hao at 1:05 AM, while Crow's time of death was 12 AM; with Lin Hao alone, he didn't have the ability to silently kill three people in just one hour, put the corpses at Marry's home, and then return to Yuen Long.
Moreover, those three Crows weren't easy targets either; he saw when examining the corpses that none of the three had any signs of struggle, showing the opponent was killed instantly while completely unprepared; how could Lin Hao have such great ability to do these things?
Thinking like this, Huang Zhicheng's gaze toward Lin Hao held a few more points of helplessness; it seems this time there was no way to get any useful clues from Lin Hao.
After Liang Guixin efficiently finished the relevant procedures, she walked toward the police station exit together with Lin Hao.
At this time, the sky was still dark; the large lamp at the police station entrance emitted a dim yellow light, stretching the two's shadows long.
Just as they exited, Lin Hao saw Fei Zai had already brought several brothers, driving a car waiting for him there.
The moment Fei Zai saw Lin Hao come out, he immediately rushed over with a face full of anxiety, came close, and hurriedly asked, "Hao Ge, are you okay? You worried me to death; hearing you were taken away by police, my heart was in my throat, afraid something went wrong."
Lin Hao patted Fei Zai's shoulder and said with a smile, "It's fine, what could happen? Just went to cooperate with them answering some questions, see, I'm out safe and sound now." Finished, he turned to look at Liang Guixin beside him, his face full of gratitude, and said, "Lawyer Liang, today really was too embarrassing; so late at night still troubling you to make this trip; if not for your timely arrival, who knows how long I'd have been delayed inside. I feel quite bad about it; let me treat you to a meal; look, dawn is almost breaking."
Hearing Lin Hao's words, Liang Guixin's face still bore that professional smile, but she still shook her head slightly and declined tactfully, "Mr. Lin, you are too polite; this is all what I should do as a lawyer, helping clients solve problems. And the time is quite late now; I still have to prepare other case materials when I go back, so I won't eat this meal; you should also go back and rest early."
Finished, she nodded slightly at Lin Hao, then walked straight toward the parking lot, got in the car and left.
Lin Hao watched Liang Guixin's departing back, his heart adding a few more points of admiration for this competent and professional lawyer, secretly thinking that today's matter was thanks to her; if there are any legal matters in the future, he'd still have to find her for help.
Afterward, he came back to his senses and said to Fei Zai, "Let's go, we'll go back too; tossing about all night has worn me out."
Fei Zai acknowledged and hurriedly called the brothers to open the car doors; the group then drove off in the direction of the nightclub.
