Chapter 686

After a pause, Sun Xin continued his explanation on his own.

"Killing Mai Mai Zirui was a last resort."

"First, I had eaten and drank with him many times."

"And I was always the one paying; this was a major point of suspicion."

"Second, I knew you were conducting a detailed investigation into him."

"If you kept digging, it would inevitably lead back to me."

"So I had to strike first to cut off the trail."

"I just didn't expect you to lock onto me so quickly!"

At this moment, Sun Xin was full of confusion.

"I was confident I had acted very covertly; how exactly did you discover it?"

Lin Feng shook his head: "The net of justice is vast, and it lets nothing slip through."

"No matter how covert, as long as it was done, traces will be left behind."

"There is no need to say more about that."

"Now I have two questions that I need you to answer in turn."

"First, what was the purpose of compensating Gao Yan one million?"

Facing this, Sun Xin sighed somewhat.

"Peach Blossom... is my handler; her codename is Peach Blossom."

"She once instructed me that one must be forward-thinking and leave oneself a way out."

"I figured, since I had to hit Gao Yan anyway."

"I might as well stir up trouble to divert your investigation's direction and focus."

"The matter is just that simple, nothing more."

To this, one could only say: the thinking was good, and the intent was very clear.

However, as a complete novice, the plan was too crude and couldn't withstand investigation at all!

Alright, no more lamenting; Lin Feng continued his questioning.

"Second, where did the drugs used for the murder come from?"

Sun Xin explained: "I bought them secretly myself, and the process was also very easy."

"Now, many bars and dance halls have people secretly peddling drugs."

"I bought one hundred grams at Cool-Cut Cool-Pie; that's how it was."

At this very moment, the case was clear, and Lin Feng had no further questions.

"Director, do you have anything to add?"

While nodding, Sun Hongwei looked at Sun Xin.

"One last question, how much money did Peach Blossom give you in total?"

"Haha..."

Sun Xin laughed wildly, very sinister and brazen.

"On the issue of 'money,' don't even think about it!"

"I said it at the beginning: I don't regret betraying the national interest."

"Because after I die, my wife and son need 'money' to continue living."

"So no matter the circumstances, I will never cough up the money."

Alright then, no need to ask.

Sun Xin had already accepted his 'death,' so there was no getting it out of him.

As for whether he would die?

Engaging in espionage and selling state secrets is not a capital offense.

But murder—with both crimes punished together, he would undoubtedly die!

Sun Xin was led out of the interrogation room and saw his wife and child in the corridor.

He was very agitated, but 457 forbade him from getting close.

"Wife, it's my incompetence; I've let you and our son down."

"However, remember that I am the person in this world who loves you the most."

"Wife, I have saved a large sum of money for you abroad."

"The account and password are the string I made you memorize."

"Yes, under no circumstances should you hand that money over."

"Because that 'money' is the only reliance for your and our son's future."

"Wife, forget me, find a good partner, goodbye..."

As Sun Xin was led away, Wang Wang Lili was already crying until she collapsed.

The situation was just that cruel, and there was no way to offer comfort.

At this moment, Liu Nan could only take the child into his arms.

Regardless of what Sun Xin had done, Wang Wang Lili and the child were innocent.

Just like the words Sun Xin had once spoken.

Although Wang Wang Lili had never thought about living a life of great wealth and status.

But as a man, Sun Xin could not help but strive to create it.

The only difference was that the path he fought for was a road of thorns with no return!

"Liu Nan, you are responsible for sending them to the hospital."

"The others, organize the materials and file them."

"Yes, Section Chief."

The subordinates went their separate ways, and Lin Feng followed Sun Hongwei to the Director's office.

"Come, come, have a drink of water first; we'll eat later."

Lin Feng took it without standing on ceremony; he was indeed a bit thirsty.

After sitting down, Sun Hongwei thought for a moment and said: "Lin, what do you plan to do next?"
