Chapter 1378 - 1302: Alibi
Hassan once again arrived at the police station, with hurried steps and a grave expression.
Jiang Yuan didn’t allow him near the special task force and chose the outside meeting room instead.
Hassan didn’t have time to worry about these details and immediately asked, "Is it Faris? How likely is it that he’s the one?"
"We don’t know yet. Faris has no alibi, but there isn’t additional evidence to support him being the murderer." Jiang Yuan first explained the case to Hassan and then, looking at his face, said, "You should have considered such a situation from the start of the case."
As expected, a large part of Hassan’s anxious expression seemed to fade.
"Indeed, you’re quite the detective." Hassan wiped his face, drank a sip of tea, and with a calmer expression, continued, "However, I’m not pretending; I did think beforehand that it could be someone close to us. But Faris is different. Although our two factions have some disagreements, we mostly cooperate. We are closer compared to other factions..."
As Hassan spoke, he fell into a state of reminiscence: "I have met Faris twice and had a good impression of him. I also talked to him and recognized him as a diligent and hardworking person, and I support some of his work."
In Hassan’s view, his son Qikoli, as a member of society, really didn’t have a reason to be condemned to death. What could truly lead to his demise was precisely being Hassan’s son.
Therefore, the possibility that Qikoli might have died at the hands of people from his own family was something Hassan had considered pre-emptively.
But as Hassan mentioned, even among his own people, there are different levels, and Faris clearly belonged to the kind who shouldn’t have killed Qikoli. At least, that’s how Hassan saw it.
Jiang Yuan considered Hassan’s words and silently took them into account.
Although he previously excluded Hassan and his people from the special task force, now he was using Hassan as someone in the know.
