Wu Huai looked outside the door and invited Wu Ze into his office.
"Lawyer Wu, you're a genius in the legal world. You're very busy every day, so I'm a little embarrassed to ask you to come over."
It was rare to see a serious man like Wu Huai joking around with his younger brother. There was a meaningful smile on his face.
"Big Brother, if you want to attack me, just say it!" Wu Ze knew that Wu Huai had always looked down on people who talked glibly and talked about the law. This man was a bit of a warrior.
"I won't beat around the bush. You should know about the poisoning case. Today, Detective Su Qingcheng went to the hospital to investigate. Some family members said that they heard the Yuan Family's adopted daughter, Zhao Ruoxin, plotting something with her mother."
Wu Huai briefly explained the situation to Wu Ze. In the end, there was a hint of difficulty in his eyes. "You can also guess that this information was definitely not obtained by Su Qingcheng's investigation. It must have something to do with your confidante, Third Mistress Yuan."
As he spoke, Wu Huai paused and admired his cousin's embarrassment.
Wu Ze's posture was elegant. There was a smile at the corner of his mouth. He said generously, "It's interesting that you've defined Mu Chenyan's identity in this way."
"Isn't that the case?" Wu Huai's tone was strange. He laughed sinisterly and casually. "I haven't seen you care about any woman for so many years. Instead, you've repeatedly used your grandfather to suppress me because of Mu Chenyan. You've even gone to the city to mediate and shoved this news office in. You've really put in a lot of effort. Don't tell me that you've done all this just to fulfill your responsibility as a friend's wife. "
Wu Ze smiled faintly when he heard this. The handsome man was born with a refined and elegant temperament. He had a charming aura around him and there was no sign of his uneasiness at all.
Wu Ze's fair and slender fingers glided across the surface of the table. He picked up a cup of tea and drank it. After a while, he said, "Brother, you're quite quick-witted and have good eyesight. Even if I have such thoughts about this woman, I haven't done anything out of line. It seems like you don't need to worry about me."
Wu Huai snorted. Without batting an eyelid, he said in a muffled voice, "Today's case involves the Yuan Family and your lover knows the inside story. Who am I supposed to tell if not you?"
"Did you ask me to come because you want me to be prepared in case Yuan Xuan tries to stop you and I have to help you?"
"You're pretty smart after all!" Wu Huai's voice was low and muffled like a bandit leader. He waved his hand and threw Mu Chenyan's file on the table.
"This chick's case from three years ago hasn't been resolved yet. She's been in jail for two years. The culprit behind the murder of the Yuan Family's adopted daughter, Shu Qinger, has yet to be apprehended. Now, you're going to the Yuan Family to capture the adopted daughter's younger sister for interrogation. Moreover, that woman's mother is also one of the victims. Do you think Yuan Xuan will let this go? "
Although Wu Huai was crude, he was able to become the team leader of the Major Crimes Division. He was definitely not someone who only had martial arts skills and no brains.
He had handled many cases and he was well aware of the power and influence of Luo Hai's aristocratic families. Since he was not familiar with Yuan Xuan, everything would be easier with Wu Ze around.
"Have you sent someone to the Yuan Family to get the person back?" Wu Ze felt somewhat uncomfortable when he thought about the woman who looked exactly like Shu Qinger.
Back then, Shu Qinger's death was extremely tragic. She was raped and her fetus was removed. Not only that, but the integrity of her body was also severely damaged and her internal organs were damaged. The inhumane method made Wu Ze, who had been a lawyer for many years, furious.
"Not yet. I'll let you know about this first. I'll leave Third Young Master Yuan's side to you!" Wu Huai answered.
"Actually, you're making an unnecessary move. Yuan Xuan is definitely not an unreasonable person who abuses his power for personal gain. If there's really something wrong with that adopted daughter, he probably won't protect her. You're only asking her to come over and interrogate her. You're not going to convict her, so why are you so conflicted?"
Wu Ze said with a cold smile on his face. "Don't tell me that there's someone you're afraid of, big brother? This Yuan Xuan can't possibly scare you to this extent! "
Wu Huai furrowed his brows and his face was slightly red. His tone was displeased as he said, "I'm afraid of him? Hmph, I just don't want to deal with businessmen. You're very shrewd. The lawyer's letter will arrive as soon as we start the interrogation. Who knows, you might be sitting here chatting with me right now. Tomorrow, you'll represent Yuan Xuan to argue for your defender and say that she has the right to remain silent or something like that! "
As he spoke, Wu Huai looked at his cousin as if he was looking at a lackey …
Wu Ze was speechless.
The next day, Zhao Ruoxin went to the hospital to visit Zhao Yanni at three in the afternoon. She was stopped by the police officers brought by Su Qingcheng at the entrance of the ICU.
Zhao Ruoxin was calm and composed when she sat in the interrogation room. Wu Huai personally came over to supervise the interrogation.
When Wu Huai saw Zhao Ruoxin through the one-way observation window, he was shocked as well!
He had read the case file from back then no less than ten times, including the photos of Shu Qinger when she was alive and the photos after she was murdered. Wu Huai's heart was filled with emotions when he saw the twin sisters sitting in front of him who looked so similar.
Zhao Ruoxin tapped her fingers and smiled as she looked at the police officer who was interrogating her. She was able to answer him fluently.
"This woman came prepared!" Wu Huai looked at the real-time surveillance in the interrogation room. Zhao Ruoxin answered almost all of the police officers' questions perfectly.
Initially, it was a surprise attack. He wanted to find flaws in the interrogation but he did not expect this woman to be so calm that she seemed to know that he would be sitting here.
"When I said to my mother, I meant that I would take her out of the hospital after her condition has stabilized. Is there anything wrong with that?"
Zhao Ruoxin's smile was very wide. "The surveillance network has been hacked. I think you should look for hackers instead of me! Moreover, if you want to investigate me, you should consider my motive! "
"Also, my mother is also a victim in this incident. As a family member, I would like to urge the police to put more effort into solving the case instead of making groundless accusations and catching victims to waste time!"
Zhao Ruoxin's words were indeed reasonable, and Wu Huai had a headache as well.
He initially thought that a weak woman would give herself away if she was called over for a formality. However, not only did she answer them fluently, she even made the police officers speechless.
"Today, we're just testing her out!" Wu Huai shook his head and said, "This woman is indeed suspicious and not simple. However, we can't rely on intuition to solve a case. We need evidence!"
Su Qingcheng glanced at Mu Chenyan. Mu Chenyan was already aware of Zhao Ruoxin's arrival. The indifferent woman's expression was cold as she remained silent.
After a long while …
"Captain, can the police check a person's phone records?" Mu Chenyan suddenly asked.
"On New Year's Eve, she spoke to a mysterious person on the phone. The other party seemed to have asked her to do something."
Wu Huai looked at Mu Chenyan who was deep in thought. He paced the ground again. Soon, the police officer Xiao Dong came to report, "Miss Zhao wants to see a lawyer!"
Wu Huai waved his hand. "Tell her that she can look for a lawyer, but the police have the right to detain her for four hours!"
"Jiang Bian, bring some people to the communications company and check this woman's phone records for the past two months!"
Wu Huai did not know how he was led by the nose by Mu Chenyan.
However, there were no leads in the case at the moment. The hacker of the underground network was the key to the case, but that one was more difficult to catch. Zhao Ruoxin was the only suspicious one, so they could only follow her lead for now.
