The Same
"Shu, Tang Yun, you guys stay at home. I'll go alone, you guys don't need to come with me." Mengyao thought about it and decided to go alone. Tang Yun didn't know much about the world, and Shu was always causing trouble. She might as well go by herself.
"Oh, okay." Yushu understood the importance of this and nodded obediently.
Tang Yun, on the other hand, didn't know what to do. She only hoped that Lin Yi would be fine, but she couldn't be like Mengyao, arguing with Lingshan and arguing with reason.
So when Mengyao asked to go alone, Tang Yun only hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
Mengyao took the garage key and got into the police car with Lingshan and the others, heading to Xiaoxiao's place.
Lin Yi cleaned the rover and put it in Xiaoxiao's garage. Mengyao and Yushu both had their own cars, so they didn't need to drive Lin Yi's.
They arrived at Xiaoxiao's place, and Lingshan and Mengyao got out of the car. They opened the garage door, and there was indeed a rover parked there.
"It's here. The car shouldn't have been moved from here. Do you guys still think that this is the car the suspect drove?" Mengyao asked.
"We can't say for sure yet. We need to check the details first!" With that, Liu Wangli took out his camera and started taking pictures of the rover from all angles. But when Liu Wangli pointed at a patch of paint on the rover, Lingshan's face changed slightly!
In the photo taken by the photographer, there was a scratch mark on the same part of the Land Rover!
"Captain Song … What do you think …" Liu Wangli smiled bitterly.
"Are there any surveillance cameras in the area? Can we see if we can get the ones around the garage?" Lingshan frowned.
"I don't think so. This area isn't closed off, it's open like a park. I don't see any cameras or anything like that …" Liu Wangli shook his head.
Lingshan didn't know what to say. Things were getting more and more complicated. She didn't believe that it was Lin Yi, but all the evidence pointed to Lin Yi. If it wasn't Lin Yi, then there was only one possibility- someone was trying to frame Lin Yi!
"Miss Chu, please take a look. There are scratch marks on this car, and here's the suspect's car. It has the same scratch marks!" Liu Wangli smiled bitterly as he pulled out a photo from his laptop, letting Mengyao compare it with the paint marks on the car.
"Ah!" Mengyao was taken aback when she saw the picture Liu Wangli showed her. She never would've thought that the car in the picture would be the same as Lin Yi's car, even down to the minute details!
"Miss Chu, we still can't determine whether these two cars are the same car, but from the looks of it, I'm pretty sure they are …" Liu Wangli said with a bitter smile. "I'll send the photos to the technical department later to verify them, but please be mentally prepared."
"Maybe someone is trying to frame Lin Yi?" Mengyao said suddenly. "Lin Yi has a lot of enemies. Could it be these people?"
"That's hard to say. We'll have to wait until we find Lin Yi!" Liu Wangli said. "Thank you for your cooperation. We'll leave the car with you for now, but we might ask you to come and take it away for identification."
"Sure." Mengyao nodded. Her heart was in a mess. She didn't say anything, but the evidence was all on Lin Yi …
Lingshan drove Mengyao back to the villa and brought the three back to the police station. Lingshan's heart was heavy as well. After returning to the police station, she told Liu Wangli to hand over the evidence to the tech department and drove to the hospital to check with Yutian on the time to go to the tomb.
At the same time, Jianwen's number one follower, Scorpion's phone, rang.
"Boss, I've done what you told me to, trying to push all the blame onto Lin Yi, but the police don't seem to believe me, especially that Song Lingshan. She's really stubborn. Do you want me to go talk to their superiors?" The person on the other side of the phone said. "I have a lot of authority here. I believe that Lingshan's boss will tell her to leave!"
"No need. If you tell her to leave, people will get suspicious!" Scorpion said. "Just do your best!"
"Got it, boss!" The person on the phone said. "Don't use that landrover anymore. The police have found Lin Yi's car!"
"Got it," Scorpion replied. "I'll get a new car."
"Okay, boss. I'll contact you whenever I have news … But my pay …" The person on the phone asked about his pay at the end.
"Don't worry, I've already sent you five million to the account you gave me. Once this is done, the remaining five million will be yours!" Scorpion said. "But you have to keep us updated!"
"No problem, boss. You know that I'll work for whoever pays me the most!" The person on the phone said.
Scorpion hung up and walked to Jianwen's room. Just as he opened the door, he saw Jianwen lying on the floor, howling at the ceiling lamp!
"Master Wen … You …" Scorpion jumped in fright. He looked at Jianwen with a weird expression. He didn't know what was going on.
"Awooo …" Jianwen got up from the ground when he saw Scorpion. He said calmly, "Oh, I'm working out. It's a type of exercise. Don't be surprised!"
"Oh …" Scorpion nodded. He didn't think much about it. "Master Wen, our plan is partially successful, but that Lingshan doesn't seem to believe us …"
"Hmph, I didn't expect the police to believe us at all. If we succeed, then we'll succeed. If not, then we won't lose anything. We'll just make Lin Yi suffer a little. It'll be best if we can ruin his reputation." Jianwen said. "Our real goal is to make the police focus on Lin Yi. We'll retreat safely and move on to the next step of our money-making plan!"
