Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law-Chapter 1120 - 1119: Lying

A thick stack of materials, of which there were dozens of photos from the crime scene—many of the images were shockingly graphic—but Jiang Yang didn’t even blink.

Some of the younger police officers sitting nearby couldn’t help but show a hint of surprise when they caught sight of the photos by accident.

This kid seems different from the rest!

"Cough, cough!" Ying Jiuming cleared his throat and began to introduce the case details, concluding after a lengthy explanation, "Because the victim’s family strongly interfered, demanding a swift closure, we’re left with the case summary everyone sees here. I’ve just mentioned a few doubts, the first being no eyewitnesses and no motive. I was at the scene myself, and a dispute had just broken out in the hall, drawing almost everyone’s attention there."

While speaking, Ying Jiuming pulled out several photos, among them was one of Zhuanzhuan.

He pointed and said, "These two people were not in the hall, we analyzed these six individuals thoroughly, and in the end, the suspicions on each of them were cleared."

"So, it’s confirmed as an accidental death?" Yu Fengji rubbed his chin, asking uncertainly.

"Yes!" Ying Jiuming added, "It appeared to be a coincidence, and although we found it suspicious at the time, the investigation eventually fizzled out."

If not for He Rongxi’s insistence on closing the case, and if he hadn’t seen He Rongxi himself in the hall at the time, he would have doubted that there was more to He Jinlan’s death.

"Pull up the statements of these six people."

"Right away." The clerk responsible for the record swiftly inserted the video disc into the machine. The projector began to play the recorded footage, a lengthy and tedious process. Yet not a single person in the room spoke; all were watching with rapt attention. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Time slowly passed, and the sky outside had already darkened. It was unclear when, but Jiang Yang, who had been studying the documents, lifted his head to watch the projector, and just then, it was Zhuanzhuan’s testimony being shown.

Zhuanzhuan appeared resolute yet fearful on the screen, while the echo of her voice, seemingly frightened but still forcing herself to be strong, resonated in his ears.

Jiang Yang’s brows furrowed slightly, his pale and delicate earlobes twitched, his expression one of heightened concentration.

Soon, Zhuanzhuan’s video testimony ended, and what followed were the statements of a couple. The screen showed two separate testimonies. At the time of the incident, the young lovers were trysting outside, hiding in a thicket of trees; thus, they missed the commotion in the hall and the scene at the pool when He Jinlan died.

"He’s lying!" Jiang Yang suddenly spoke out, his youthful, crisp voice exceptionally pleasant, and his tone was firm and unyielding.

In an instant, everyone’s gaze turned towards him.

The leader of Squad Two, who had been stewing with irritation, barked impatiently, "What do you know, you little brat? Don’t interrupt without cause."

Yu Fengji cast a warning glance at the leader of Squad Two. He had encountered Jiang Yang at Wei Qin’s and knew Jiang Yang was personally mentored by Wei Qin. He believed that, with Wei Qin’s intelligence, he wouldn’t have an ordinary person by his side.

Ordinary people wouldn’t catch Wei Qin’s eye.

"Silence," Yu Fengji commanded curtly, gesturing to Jiang Yang, "You speak!"

Jiang remained cool and detached as ever, yet his eyes shone brilliantly. He pointed at the projector and said, "He’s talking, and so was the woman before him—they’re both lying."

Then, he hesitated for a moment before adding, "And so did Jiang Zhuanzhuan!"
