Chapter 545 - 529: Everything That Needed to Be Seen Has Been Seen
Hong Ya’s pupils suddenly shrank, and she thought silently in her heart:
"Damn it, there are bad people everywhere in the Second Prison trying to harm my junior brother. As his senior sister, I absolutely cannot sit idly by, I must protect him!"
At this moment, the idea of entering the Second Prison was unstoppable in Hong Ya’s mind.
It’s not that she doesn’t trust her senior brothers, but her eldest senior brother is not very bright, and her fifth senior brother is too clever, so neither really puts her at ease.
Not to mention the silly thing the eldest senior brother did, like stealing her socks to use as a mouthplug while sleeping.
Take the fifth senior brother, Gong Qi, for example. Last time, he secretly hacked the gift that the junior brother gave her.
Ridiculous, he thought he did it without anyone knowing, but Hong Ya’s mind was as clear as a mirror and had already noticed.
She cleverly chose not to speak out, instead jotting it down secretly in her little notebook.
Heh heh~
Next time the fifth senior brother tries to trade treasures with her, she will definitely teach him how to be a good senior brother!
As numerous thoughts flashed like lightning through Li Hanyu’s mind, a face inexplicably emerged in her mind.
She raised her eyes to Li Shang and asked very seriously:
"Captain Li, do you think the murderer in the hospital and the one behind the prison explosion could be the same person? Or are they being directed by the same mastermind?"
In Li Shang’s mind, the case was already solved; the explosion was the doing of the two prison chiefs.
As for whether there was someone else behind them, once the two prison chiefs were caught, everything would come to light.
And the hospital case...
Instinctively, Li Shang leaned towards handling the cases together, but upon hearing the doubts in Li Hanyu’s words, the detective’s instincts caught the scent of a clue in her question.
"Li Hanyu is suspecting that the murderers are not the same person," Li Shang thought to himself.
He squinted slightly, pretending to be deep in thought, then changed his original words, saying:
"We cannot make a conclusion at this moment. There is an 80% chance that the same mastermind is behind it, but we cannot rule out that someone else is taking the opportunity to muddle the waters.
However, one thing is certain: all of these people, without exception, hope that Prison Director Qian Huan never wakes up again."
Li Hanyu nodded and said no more. The hazy face in her mind gradually became clearer, with the faint outline of a gourd forming behind it.
"Could it be Wang Cong? Has he already gained President Lu’s support? He might be harboring resentment towards my son, and with the discord between him and Feng Mu, now might also be a time when he hopes my son doesn’t wake," she wondered.
Li Hanyu didn’t have evidence to convict Wang Cong, but the seed of doubt in her heart was growing larger and larger.
She plugged the eyes into the USB cable, and a folder popped up on the computer screen.
Following Li Shang’s instructions, Li Hanyu first dragged the automatically stored video recording to the minute when the murderer entered Shi Wuming’s ward.
Sure enough, the screen showed the cruel scene of "Feng Mu" using a row of silver needles like a saw.
This scene perfectly confirmed Li Shang’s earlier deduction, making the detective’s aura shine even brighter.
Then, the dialogue in the video also perfectly verified Li Shang’s judgment.
"This shows that the person instructing the murderer had a very clear target, which was to frame Feng Mu specifically, not randomly choosing a scapegoat.
And, the murderer’s task was to take Shi Wuming’s heart, with no mention of his eyes."
Li Shang stated without a doubt, then gestured for Li Hanyu to pull back the video to the time of the explosion.
"Stop!" Li Shang suddenly shouted.
The video paused, right as the two prison chiefs rushed into the explosion scene, their backs to the camera, rummaging around on the ground.
Unfortunately, due to the angle of the view, it was unclear what exactly they picked up from the scene, but...everyone’s mind spontaneously conjured the same answer.
Then, Gong Qi appeared in the image, timely saving Shi Wuming’s life, and mentioned in conversation that Feng Mu had sent him to save someone.
Even though the conversation was brief, Li Shang still keenly picked up some clues from it.
"From the conversation, there seems to be a rift between Feng Mu and Shi Wuming, yet he sent someone to save Shi Wuming, intending to find out the culprit of the explosion from Shi’s mouth.
And Shi Wuming, he appeared rather ungrateful."
Li Shang paused slightly, discreetly glancing at Hong Ya, who was engrossed in "watching," and said softly,
"Feng Mu was able to put aside personal grievances to save Shi Wuming, demonstrating his loyalty toward Prison Director Qian.
It’s no wonder those who went to the hospital meticulously plotted to frame and eliminate Feng Mu."
At this point, Li Hanyu’s trust in Feng Mu had reached its peak; she believed in him completely.
And Detective Li Shang’s judgment agreeing with hers was like putting an iron lock on this trust, securely fastening its value.
Though my son remains in a coma, thankfully, there’s someone as trustworthy as Feng Mu. Before my son wakes, perhaps I can push for Feng Mu to manage the Second Prison..."
Li Hanyu’s thought became clearer, without a trace of hesitation.
Li Shang continued to signal for Li Hanyu to drag the video progress forward.
However, the video suddenly started to stutter, then filled with static, followed by an error popup.
Li Hanyu tried several more times, still receiving errors, and she had to look up at Li Shang.
Li Shang explained from the side:
"Shi Wuming was also strongly affected by the explosion. I just asked the doctors, and they said when he was brought in, the electronic components in his body experienced a short circuit.
It’s quite normal for some of the video data stored in his eyes to be damaged."
Li Shang added calmly:
"Still, it seems we were fortunate enough. We managed to see the key content we needed in the video."
Actually, it wasn’t sheer luck; it was because Gong Qi was the one who brought Shi Wuming to the hospital.
Otherwise, among so many in the Second Prison, why did Feng Mu choose Gong Qi to save Shi Wuming? Wasn’t it because of Gong Qi’s extraordinary computer skills?
During Shi Wuming’s transport to the hospital, in the brief moment of unconsciousness from electric short-circuiting, Gong Qi did a bit of technical processing on Shi Wuming’s eyes.
I must say, valuable things do have their reasons worth their price.
Shi Wuming’s electronic eyes, plug and play, are so convenient to use for everyone.
Li Hanyu removed the two electronic eyes and casually put them in her jacket pocket.
Li Shang opened his mouth, looking like he wanted to say something, but ultimately said nothing more.
Elsewhere.
Lou Duan looked at the two prison chiefs seated on the sofa, with their clear and foolish eyes, and he slightly parted his lips, feeling utterly speechless and wondering how to express the turmoil in his chest...
