Chapter 1149 - 1080: Sudden Interrogation
"I... I don’t know what you’re talking about." Wang Xiang repeated his earlier words. This was a very common reaction for suspects under interrogation. Still in shock, he hadn’t yet entered a state of rational thought where he could weigh pros and cons. But instinctively driven by fear and a desire to escape, he could only spout useless nonsense.
Liu Jinghui remained calm, crouched down, lifted Wang Xiang’s chin, and spoke in an extremely slow tone, "You can’t get away from this. Think about it—this is the crime scene, and you were hiding under the floor, in such a secluded sewer for several days. Can you explain that? If you can’t, we have witness testimonies."
He was bluffing. If a professional or even a lawyer were present, they’d quickly brush this line of reasoning aside. But Wang Xiang didn’t have that option now and wouldn’t later either.
The most crucial aspect was that Liu Jinghui was merely pushing open a door—a foundation laid out. From here, Wang Xiang could start associating himself with the crime in various ways.
Of course, his thoughts wouldn’t align with those of the police, but the conclusions often ended up being the same.
"I... I want a lawyer. I want to see a lawyer," Wang Xiang finally raised his head, his intelligence beginning to return.
Liu Jinghui shook his head and replied, "This isn’t a TV drama. Let me be clear: because this involves a murder case, and there is solid evidence, you’ll only be allowed to see a lawyer after you cooperate and complete the police interrogation."
A criminal investigator standing nearby coldly added, "Even if you see one, it won’t help. Just tell us whether you killed her or not."
"I didn’t kill anyone!" Wang Xiang seemed bolstered by the challenge and answered firmly.
Liu Jinghui, who had studied psychology as well, immediately spotted the issue and pressed further, "Who did kill her?"
