Seeing the crime scene flashbacks made me the darling of the police station.

Chapter 54 explains the dream.

trial room

After Lu Jing was arrested, he cooperated.

She knew very well that if she didn't speak now after entering this place, she would face even longer and more repeated interrogations later.

It would be better to explain things clearly now.

In the end, it's all the same result.

"Why did you kill Jiang Lingjie?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked.

Lu Jing remained calm throughout.

She wanted to fight for her life, but after exchanging blows with Zhuang Yanzheng, she knew from the very first move that she couldn't win.

And he also has an assistant.

At that moment, she had already thought everything through and was prepared to accept whatever the consequences might be.

“Didn’t you go to my house? Didn’t you find out everything?” Lu Jing looked at Zhuang Yanzheng. “Your work is so tedious. You still have to ask questions, investigate, find evidence, interrogate me, and wait for me to tell you in person. Then there’s the trial and a whole series of other things.”

Zhuang Yanzheng remained silent.

“Look at me, if I feel that Jiang Lingjie committed a murder, I will kill him directly. I’m much more efficient than you guys.” Lu Jing smiled.

"Why did you kill him?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked the question again, ignoring what she said.

Lu Jing sighed and said patiently, "I've liked Xia Yan for almost six years. I'm all alone, going to work and coming home every day. What's the point of living like that? It wasn't until I fell in love with Xia Yan that life became more interesting and more hopeful. I started to feel that the sky is blue, the sun is warm, and the world has color."

“But what happened? My hope was killed.” Lu Jing said, “I can’t eat or sleep if I don’t personally finish off that Jiang guy.”

"You're being too extreme," Zhuang Yanzheng said coldly. "The law will punish him."

Lu Jing smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes: "So what if we're extreme? There are no normal people like us. We're just learning to live like normal people."

Zhuang Yanzheng asked, "Where did the cyanide come from?"

Lu Jing looked at him and said, "Actually, you could ask where that bead came from."

Zhuang Yanzheng looked at the provocative smile on her face, then lowered his eyes to look at the sealed bag on the table.

The bead is still inside.

"It was given to you by the same person." Zhuang Yanzheng's tone was certain.

“You should know who it is, right? He must be an old friend of yours,” Lu Jing said with a smile. “Before I came, he specifically asked me to say hello to you.”

Zhuang Yanzheng snorted coldly: "Greet? Greet me with my life?"

“Aren’t you still alive?” Lu Jing said.

Zhuang Yanzheng nodded: "Where is he? How did he contact you? Besides you, who else is he? What industry is he in? What position does he hold?"

Lu Jing looked at him.

Zhuang Yanzheng frowned.

Lu Jingdao said, "You're all 'old friends,' you should know him very well. Since I'm sitting here, he must have thought of this too. Do you think I would know the answers to these questions?"

"Who contacted you? How did they contact you? Where did you go after you left the hospital yesterday afternoon?" Zhuang Yanzheng continued to ask.

“An old neighborhood in the suburbs,” Lu Jing readily stated the name of the neighborhood. “This morning, a food delivery driver delivered the beads to me. We only communicate with each other; I don’t know who he is.”

Zhuang Yanzheng looked at the police officer beside him.

The police left immediately.

Lu Jingdao said, "There are no surveillance cameras over there, so you won't be able to find anything."

Even if there are no surveillance cameras, we should still go and check, just in case we find something.

"Who gave you the cyanide?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked.

“He gave them to us personally a long time ago. Everyone got one.” Lu Jing smiled. “Are you scared? In this city, there are many people who have deadly poisons hidden in their hands. Who knows, one day it might explode.”

Zhuang Yanzheng ignored her question and continued, "What does that deliveryman look like?"

"I don't know, I didn't see it." Lu Jing shook his head, his eyes lowered.

"You're lying." Zhuang Yanzheng's voice rose slightly. Lu Jing looked up at him: "You're very capable."

Zhuang Yanzheng said, "If you act on your own, that person won't let you live."

Lu Jing's eyes twitched.

"What did that delivery guy say to you this morning? 'Is he willing to trade my life for yours?'" Zhuang Yanzheng looked at her. "Since you say we're 'old friends,' he should know me well. Do you think he doesn't know that once you mess with him, you'll only be sitting here?"

Lu Jing remained silent.

“He never gave you a chance to live. He just used a different method. You were just a ‘method’ for him to greet you,” Zhuang Yanzheng said.

Lu Jing lowered her gaze and remained silent for a moment, but her face quickly regained its composure, and she readily accepted everything: "That's how it is, so what?"

"What do delivery drivers look like?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked directly.

“I’ve only seen him twice, and each time I only saw his eyes,” Lu Jing said.

Zhuang Yanzheng said to the policeman on the other side, "Call Lu Zhishen over here."

Su Miaoyi fell asleep in the lounge.

Midway through, Chu Xingrou came in and found a blanket to cover her up.

It was warmer now, and Su Miaoyi slept even more soundly.

But she didn't fall asleep for long before she had another dream.

She dreamt she was in a room in the Jinrong residential complex.

Suddenly, two men pried open the door and broke into the room.

She was so scared that she tried to scream but couldn't make a sound.

She tried to run, but was easily caught.

The two men were very strong.

One man could completely control her.

She had no chance to resist at all.

His mouth was covered.

Then she felt the man's other hand press down on her head, and then he twisted it hard.

She seemed to hear a cracking sound, and then everything went dark, her head drooping.

Everything went dark, and Su Miaoyi suddenly woke up.

"Sister Miaomiao? What's wrong?"

Su Miaoyi gasped for breath, looking at Chu Xingrou in front of her, and then at her surroundings.

It took me a few seconds to realize that I was in the lounge.

"Sister Miaomiao, did you have a nightmare? Are you alright?" Chu Xingrou asked.

She had just come in when I noticed that her forehead was covered in sweat, and she was gripping the blanket tightly with both hands.

Su Miaoyi paused for a few seconds.

As usual, upon waking, the content of the dream became blurry in an instant, and she couldn't quite remember what she had dreamt about.

I just felt terrified.

"It's nothing," Su Miaoyi said. "Is there something you need from me?"

"It's past one o'clock in the afternoon. Captain Zhuang asked me to ask you if you want something to eat," Chu Xingrou said.

"It's already one o'clock in the afternoon." Su Miaoyi took out her phone and looked at it, a clump of her cut hair sticking out unruly. "How's it going in the interrogation room?"

“Lu Jing has already confessed,” Chu Xingrou said. “Captain Zhuang and the others are busy. Because public figures are involved, they also need to give everyone an explanation.”

Su Miaoyi nodded.
