Chapter 220 - 216: Nanrong Hao is Captured
Nanrong Wanqing’s face changed slightly, and with surprise, she said: "Officer Xia, is there some kind of mistake?"
"Miss Nanrong, our police force values evidence in handling cases, and the evidence now is conclusive. I believe I am not mistaken." With that, Xia Mutong stared at the stunned Nanrong Hao, "Nanrong Hao, I ask you, were you at Old City’s construction site last night?"
"Yes... I was there."
"Did you get into a dispute with someone and engage in a physical altercation?"
Nanrong Hao quickly tried to defend himself: "They came looking for trouble with us, I was just acting in self-defense, you..."
"You don’t need to explain so much, you just need to answer yes or no." Xia Mutong interrupted him, gazing into his eyes.
"Yes."
Xia Mutong nodded: "Then that settles it. In the early hours of last night, we received a report and found a male corpse near the construction site. The victim was stabbed with a dagger in a vital spot and died from excessive blood loss at the scene. We’ve examined the fingerprints on the dagger, and they point to you as the murderer."
"No... it wasn’t me, you... you must have made a mistake." Nanrong Hao frantically waved his hands, vigorously denying it.
"Save your words for the judge. Take him back in handcuffs."
