National Forensic Doctor

Murder warrants a death sentence, but accidental killing might only lead to a few years in prison. Wang Xiang wasn’t familiar with most things, but he had heard others explain the intricacies of this matter.

So when Liu Jinghui mentioned murder, Wang Xiang’s face instantly changed. He hurriedly said, "It really was an accident. After the person died, we didn’t know what to do. Wang Yuxian said that the police would definitely check the surveillance footage once they arrived. Then he said he knew there was a well down there and told me to hide it inside."

Wang Xiang’s bottom line had been broken down step by step. Initially, he had been thinking about how to evade punishment. Later, he was prepared to admit to some minor crime. By now, he was even starting to think that being an accomplice in accidental manslaughter might be acceptable.

Even so, Liu Jinghui continued to press him relentlessly.

Liu Jinghui questioned, "If you weren’t planning to kill, then why did you deliberately choose routes where surveillance cameras were disabled when you entered? Why did you specifically avoid the cameras?"

"I was meeting Li Aiyuan for an affair. Having an affair isn’t illegal, but you can’t let people know, right?"

Compared to his earlier statements, Wang Xiang’s reply this time sounded slightly more cautious. But to Liu Jinghui, it still had glaring holes.

Liu Jinghui simply chuckled and said, "If it’s just for an affair, wouldn’t it be easier to go to a hotel? You wouldn’t even need to avoid surveillance then."

"Surveillance... doesn’t it add excitement?" Wang Xiang, when it came to rationalizing these things, did have a strange kind of talent.

Liu Jinghui was amused, shaking his head as he replied, "What about the stench of a sewer? You spent an entire day down in a sewer just for excitement? And besides, if it truly was about having an affair and not about evading the police, given Wang Yuxian’s skills as a props master, couldn’t he have found you a more comfortable hiding spot?"
