The autopsy results came out quickly. The time of death of the body was between eleven and twelve o 'clock.
However, the surveillance cameras were still working at that time. They clearly captured Shi Sheng in the room. With this evidence, they couldn't lock Shi Sheng up.
But there was a problem that they had to figure out.
"An Qi, how did you come down from the sixth floor?" There were no signs of damage to her room. There were people on duty in the corridor outside. If she went out through the door, they would have seen her. But they didn't.
"I jumped down."
"An Qi, even if you're cleared of suspicion, we won't let you go if you don't answer this question. Please answer our question seriously."
"I'll tell you the truth. What can I do if you don't believe me?" She had jumped down.
"The sixth floor is so high. How did you jump down?" The police sneered. "Do you think you're Spiderman?"
Shi Sheng corrected them. "Spiderman is so ugly. I should be a fairy."
You used to call me 'I', but now you're a fairy?
The police were speechless. They didn't want to talk to this lunatic.
The police took turns asking questions. Shi Sheng either said that she jumped down or sleepwalked. But they didn't believe either of these answers.
Neither of them made sense. How could they believe her?
They couldn't let her jump down for them, right?
The situation was a bit deadlocked.
"Change of shift." A police officer pushed the door open and came in. He switched shifts with the police officer who was guarding Shi Sheng. Shi Sheng lifted his eyelids and then lowered them again. He closed his eyes and continued to rest.
"Has the case been solved yet?"
"Not yet. She's very stubborn … Hey, let's talk when we get back to the station." The police officer glanced at Shi Sheng.
The other police officer immediately shut up.
Shi Sheng and them were in a deadlock until the evening. In the end, the hospital asked them when they would let her go. They also had something to ask.
The police had no choice but to let her go.
She came out of the room, but she didn't do anything. She was even sick. They were desperate!
Shi Sheng came out of the room and saw Zhou Ning at first glance. He had shaved his beard and had an unlit cigarette in his mouth. He looked much younger than before. His facial features were tough and handsome, exuding a masculine aura.
He didn't look like the handsome type in other novels.
What a tough guy.
This was a novel that focused on strength.
The corner of Shi Sheng's lips lifted, a faint smile spreading across her face.
However, that smile did not reach her eyes. Her eyes were calm, as if no matter how big the storm was, it could not cause a single ripple.
Similarly, no one could glean any useful information from her eyes.
Just as Shi Sheng was about to walk over, Zhou Ning said, "An Qi, do you really not remember what happened before you came here?"
"I don't remember." Shi Sheng didn't turn around. She waved her hand. "Captain Zhou, if you have any clues, you must tell me … I also want to know where they came from."
Zhou Ning stared at Shi Sheng's back and frowned slightly. She did not use the subject just now.
However, Zhou Ning felt that he was overthinking things.
…
Shi Sheng followed the hospital staff back to the building. When she passed by the balcony, she suddenly looked up.
The balconies below the fifth floor were very lively, but the upper floors were very quiet.
The eighth floor was surrounded by iron railings and nothing could be seen. Shi Sheng frowned and walked towards the stairs with her head lowered.
When she went upstairs, the hospital staff came to ask her how she went down.
Shi Sheng still gave the same answer.
He didn't believe her lies or the truth. There was nothing she could do about it.
Sometimes, the unbelievable was often the truth.
After the staff left, the room finally quieted down. Shi Sheng propped her chin up and looked out of the window. Outside, the dark clouds were rolling. It seemed like it was going to rain.
…
Other than Shi Sheng and the suspect of another case, there were no other clues in the Heart-digging Case.
The previous case was also a little tricky.
The suspect refused to admit that he killed the people. They did not find any useful evidence at the scene or at the suspect's home.
When he was seen by someone, he insisted that he only wanted to steal something and not kill anyone.
Xu Le stood up to identify him, but the suspect found an excuse to escape in the end.
This suspect could kill so many people in the hospital without being found by the police. He was definitely not a good person.
If Shi Sheng had not stopped him at the scene, the police would not have been able to catch him.
As long as he did not kill anyone, he would just be locked up for a few years. He would be a good man when he came out.
They knew that he had killed someone, but there was nothing they could do about it.
The suspect even hired a lawyer to clear his name.
Because there was insufficient evidence, he was not convicted of murder. As for the other charges, he would only be sentenced to two years in prison.
The police were only responsible for arresting people to solve cases and submitting evidence. They could not interfere with the sentencing. Therefore, no matter how angry they were, it was useless.
Zhou Ning had not slept for a few nights because of this case. However, he still had another case and did not have time to rest.
Zhou Ning's beard grew again. Fortunately, he was dressed neatly. Otherwise, Shi Sheng would think that he was not the male lead but a beggar.
Hmm …
This man was sitting opposite him.
Shi Sheng calmly took a sip of tea. "Captain Zhou, why are you looking for me?"
Zhou Ning's voice was hoarse. "An Qi, what did you see that night?"
The suspect had been chased out by their men. He also had an alibi for the time of death. Therefore, he did not kill the person and he did not know who killed the person.
Now, the only clue was the woman in front of him who was once listed as a suspect.
Shi Sheng put down his teacup. "I didn't see anything."
"You were right next to the body. You really didn't see anything?" Zhou Ning's sharp eyes looked straight at Shi Sheng. "Do you know the consequences of not reporting something?"
"Officer Zhou, do you think the words of a mental patient can be used as evidence?" Even if I saw it, why should I tell you? Idiot!
Of course, Zhou Ning knew that it was impossible. He just wanted to scare her and find some clues.
"Are you really crazy?" This girl's mind was very clear. She was different from the An Qi he had seen before.
Although she was similar to the sober An Qi, they were not exactly the same.
In the past, An Qi was also very calm and collected. However, she was not like this. There was an indescribable … evil aura around her.
Yes, evil aura. The faint smile at the corner of her mouth made people feel very uncomfortable. It was as if she could see through them.
Shi Sheng smacked his lips. "If the doctor says I'm sick, then I'm sick. If the doctor says I'm not sick, then I'm not sick. You have to ask the doctor about this."
Zhou Ning thought of her medical record. That medical record was updated not long ago. The conclusion was that … it was more serious than before.
Could it be that the more serious a mental illness was, the more powerful it was?
How could a normal person live if that was the case?
As the saying went, "Geniuses are on the left and lunatics are on the right."
