The person in the portrait actually bore some resemblance to Bai Jing.
The hit-and-run driver, Li Xinyu, provided a detailed account of his meeting with the mastermind behind the incident.
At the time, the girl had arranged to meet him in a desolate area where there were no traffic cameras and very few vehicles passing by, ensuring that no evidence would be left behind.
When the girl met him, she checked his belongings to confirm that he wasnât recording audio or video before proceeding with the transaction.
As a result, Li Xinyu had no evidence to prove that Bai Jing was the one who had instructed him.
Fang Rui asked, âDid she come alone?â
âProbably, but Iâm not entirely sure. She arrived in a car, and it seemed like there was someone else inside.â
âDid you drive to that desolate area alone?â
âYes.â
âWas there a dashcam installed in the car?â
âI think so. Iâm not entirely sure, though. The car was borrowed from a friend, and I didnât check if it had one.â
âWas your car turned off at the time?â Many people tend to leave their cars running when temporarily parked, which is a bad driving habit. However, if the car isnât turned off, the dashcam would continue recording.
âNo. The car consumes a lot of fuel when starting up, so I thought Iâd just grab the money and leave quickly, so I didnât turn it off. Why?â
âTake me to find that car.â
âOfficer, since Iâve confessed and helped you with the investigation, does that count as cooperation? Will you reduce my sentence?â
âThat depends on whether you can successfully identify the mastermind.â
Fang Rui had Bai Jing brought in. At the time, Bai Jing had just finished her class. When she saw the police coming for her, she remained calm, said a few words to her classmates, and left the school with the officers.
As soon as Bai Jing entered, Li Xinyu pointed at her and exclaimed excitedly, âOfficer, itâs her! This girl gave me a bag of money to bribe me into causing the accident.â
Bai Jing looked at Li Xinyu coldly. âWho are you? I donât know you.â
âYou canât just deny knowing me now! You forced me to cause the accident. If I didnât do it, you threatened to have my family killed. You left me no choice but to stage the crash.â
Bai Jing turned to Fang Rui. âOfficer Fang, I donât know him. I donât understand why heâs framing me.â
âIf he doesnât know you, how could he describe your facial features so accurately?â
âMaybe I just have a common face, or heâs seen me somewhere and decided to frame me.â
âOfficer, Iâm not lying. If Iâm lying, may I die a horrible death!â Li Xinyu swore.
Bai Jing sneered. âDo you have any evidence that I instructed you?â
âIâ¦â
âYou have no evidence. This is slander. Iâll hire a lawyer to sue you for defamation.â
Li Xinyu was drenched in sweat. He thought that by identifying the mastermind, he could get his sentence reduced. He didnât expect this girl to have such strong nerves, refusing to admit anything.
He looked at Fang Rui. âOfficer Fang, it really was her. If you interrogate her properly, sheâll confess.â
âOfficer Fang doesnât solve cases that way. The police rely on evidence,â Bai Jing said with a smile, glancing at Fang Rui. âIsnât that right, Officer Fang?â
Fang Rui replied, âYes, we solve cases based on evidence. That day, you specifically chose a desolate area to meet Li Xinyu, and he drove there in a car.â
Bai Jing looked at Fang Rui, waiting for him to continue.
âHis dashcam was on the entire time, recording your meeting.â
Although the footage from the dashcam wasnât very clear, it was enough to identify Bai Jingâs face and the moment she handed over the money.
Bai Jing frowned slightly.
Li Xinyu looked at Fang Rui in surprise. So that was why Fang Rui had been looking for the car. He said, âOfficer Fang, thank you for proving my innocence. Girl, you canât deny it now, can you?â
âMiss Bai, when you used Chen Hui to commit murder, you might have escaped legal consequences, but if you keep doing it, evidence will eventually surface.â
Bai Jing shot a venomous glare at Li Xinyu. If looks could kill, he would have been torn to pieces. She thought this fool would be easy to control, but he had turned the tables on her.
Li Xinyu cowered behind Fang Rui. This girl was terrifying.
He stammered, âDonât look at me like that. I didnât know the dashcam was on. I didnât intentionally record evidence. Besides, youâre the one who committed the crime. I didnât falsely accuse you, so why are you glaring at me?â
Fang Rui declared, âMiss Bai, youâre under arrest.â
In the interrogation room.
Bai Jing sat quietly in her chair, showing no signs of nervousness. She even looked around the room with curiosity.
Fang Rui and Lin Sen sat across from her.
âSo this is what an interrogation room looks like. Itâs my first time here, but itâs pretty much what I imagined,â Bai Jing said with a smile.
âBai Jing, do you admit to instructing Li Xinyu to stage the car accident, resulting in the deaths of Director Liu and one of our officers?â
âDonât you already have evidence? Do you still need my confession? Just lock me up.â
âWhy did you kill Director Liu?â
Bai Jing remained silent.
âWhy did you kill Zhang?â
âIt was a warning. I had already warned you to stop, but you didnât listen. You had to pay a price.â
âWho is behind your organization?â
Bai Jing continued to stay silent.
âIs it the Jiangmiao Group?â
Still no response.
Lin Sen decided to try a different approach. âDo you know why you were caught?â
Bai Jingâs brow furrowed slightly.
âGiven how careful you are, itâs unlikely youâd make such a basic mistake. Why did you personally go to bribe Li Xinyu?â
Bai Jingâs eyes widened. It seemed she had realized that she might have been set up as a pawn.
But she would never betray her organization, and the people behind her knew that well.
Bai Jing said, âItâs fine. Someone has to make sacrifices. Iâll be that person.â
After that, no matter what Fang Rui and the others asked, she refused to speak.
Bai Jingâs phone and computer yielded no useful clues. It was likely she had another phone for contacting her organization.
While they couldnât get much out of Bai Jing, one thing was clear: she had killed Director Liu to silence him.
Fang Rui and Mu Mian went to Director Liuâs office at Anqi Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital.
Li had already checked his work computer. According to the system logs, no files had been deleted recently.
Director Liuâs computer contained many files, mostly patient records and medical research papers.
However, two files caught their attention:
âThe âââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââGenius Brain Projectâ and âNeuro-Rose: Maternal and Infant Group Test Records.â
Judging by the file sizes, these documents were extensive, spanning at least a hundred pages.
When they opened them, they discovered that the files were encrypted and required a password to access the contents.
âThis kind of password is easy to crack,â Li said as he opened âThe Genius Brain Projectâ document. After typing for a while, he hit enter. âDone.â
