"This … This … How is this possible?" In the interrogation room, Guan Xiujie looked at the things that Miao Ying had brought over, his face full of disbelief.
"This is the internal information of the Singapore Royal Casino, with your handprints on it!" Miao Ying said. "Four years ago, you owed twelve million dollars in gambling debt!"
"Yes, yes, but …" Guan Xiujie's face was pale, and his lips were trembling. "I … I've already paid it back! This … It's obvious that someone is framing me! "
"Don't talk about framing first!" Zhao Yu said sarcastically. "Let's talk about what happened four years ago! Did Zhu Xicheng find out about your debt? "
"Huh? No … No … "Guan Xiujie said quickly." Absolutely not! You … Don't talk nonsense! Even if … Even if he knew, so what? I can't say that because of this, Miao Ying … This … "
"During the investigation four years ago," Miao Ying said, holding the file, "Why didn't you tell the police?"
"I … I …" Guan Xiujie said, trembling. "This kind of thing is shameful, after all. If I said it, I would lose face, and … And it would increase the suspicion on me, and it would put me at a disadvantage in the internal election …"
"Officer … This is all human nature!" Guan Xiujie begged. "But please believe me, I am not the murderer!"
"Guan Xiujie," Zhao Yu said coldly. "I think you still don't understand the situation you are in!"
"Situation … Mm …" Guan Xiujie looked terrified.
"Your asthma inhaler was found in Zhu Yundi's room," Miao Ying said. "Then, we found this information in your room!
This means that you are now the number one suspect in Zhu Yundi's murder! "
"You found out that Zhu Yundi had evidence of your huge gambling debt four years ago, and you were worried that your scandal would be exposed, so you sneaked into Zhu Yundi's room in the middle of the night, pushed her into the sea, and stole the information …"
"Don't … Don't!" Hearing this, Guan Xiujie was so scared that he fell to the ground. He said quickly, "This … This is absolutely impossible! I … I didn't go to Zhu Yundi's room, I swear to God! "
Beep beep …
While Guan Xiujie was explaining, Miao Ying's phone rang. After she opened it, Miao Ying's face turned cold. She pointed the screen at Guan Xiujie and said,
"Guan Xiujie, what else do you have to say?"
Zhao Yu looked sideways and saw that there was a property report on Miao Ying's phone.
After Guan Xiujie saw the report, he shuddered violently. He quickly grabbed the asthma inhaler and took another puff …
"This is the report of your company's assets before Zhu Xicheng's accident," Miao Ying said. "You did pay off your debt, but you used Tianqin's money to pay off your debt, right?"
"Oh … So …" Zhao Yu pointed at Guan Xiujie and suddenly realized something. "So, you were embezzling public funds!"
"I …" Guan Xiujie was about to cry. He knelt on the ground in pain, clutching his chest and said, "Who the hell is this? Who's trying to kill me! "
"Are you still going to quibble?" Zhao Yu said coldly. "If you don't do something wrong, you won't have to be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door. If you can't explain yourself, then just wait to be brought back to the police station!"
"Explain … I'll explain …" Guan Xiujie bowed to Zhao Yu and said, "Police officer, I was really framed! I … I admit that I did use the company's funds to pay off my debt!
"But … I swear to God, Mister Zhu really didn't know!" Guan Xiujie said. "Back then, although I owed a huge amount of debt, it wasn't that I couldn't pay it off!
We had investments in the foreign exchange market, and I also made a few international investments. If I took out that money, I could totally pay off my debt!
"But … I needed, I needed time!" Guan Xiujie said. "After Mister Zhu's accident, I knew that the police would definitely investigate me. So, I used my connections early on to borrow a sum of money to pay off the company's money!
"Because I was very careful with my finances, I didn't lose any money, so no one noticed anything wrong!" Guan Xiujie said. "Later, when I collected the external funds, I also paid off the debt!
Detective Zhao, you're a smart person. If you think about it carefully, you can see that if Mister Zhu already knew about me, then why would he let me on the yacht that day?
"In the company, there are many people who know how to sail a yacht!"
Hearing Guan Xiujie's explanation, Zhao Yu and Miao Ying looked at each other. The two of them didn't speak, but their expressions were complicated.
"Detective Zhao," Guan Xiujie said. "Not only do I not have any grudges against Mister Zhu, but he is also my benefactor. How could I harm him?
"Twelve million isn't a huge sum of money to us! Back then, even if Mister Zhu found out, he would at most scold me! "
"At the very least, he could fire me, okay?
"But, if I were to kill someone for such a small amount of debt, I definitely wouldn't do such a thing!"
"Then …" Miao Ying asked, "How do you explain the information in your room?"
"It really isn't!" Guan Xiujie said innocently. "I don't know … I've never seen such a thing …"
"You see, I wouldn't be so stupid as to get evidence against myself, would I?"
"This information," Miao Ying said. "Obviously, someone used illegal means to investigate from within the casino. I just asked Zhu Yundi's secretary, and Pan Suqian said that Zhu Yundi made a special trip to Singapore two months ago! "
"Looking at it now, this information should be Zhu Yundi's! We found fingerprints on the information, and we're trying to compare them! "
"Guan Xiujie, it's not too late for you to confess now," Zhao Yu said. "Tell me, did you steal this information from Zhu Yundi?"
"Godly Detective Zhao," Guan Xiujie wanted to cry, but no tears came out. "Think about it, if I really did steal it, if I really pushed Zhu Yundi into the sea, then … would I be so stupid as to put such important information back in my room?
"It's obvious, it's too obvious. Someone wants to frame me!
"The person who framed me is the real murderer!"
Hearing Guan Xiujie's words, Zhao Yu and Miao Ying looked at each other again.
In fact, Zhao Yu and Miao Ying could tell that this was an obvious framing. Because, if Guan Xiujie was really the murderer, how could he have done such a terrible job?
Not only did he leave his asthma inhaler at the scene, but he also brought the information back to his room.
The reason why Zhao Yu and Miao Ying played the bad guy was that they wanted to force Guan Xiujie to find out what he knew.
Now, it looked like there was a new development in the case.
Zhao Yu felt a faint excitement in his heart. Experience told him that the more the murderer tried to cover up, the more flaws there would be!
If the murderer didn't frame Guan Xiujie, it would have been fine. But, if he did, Zhao Yu saw an opportunity!
