541 Dead
Under the bright Sun, a blissful smile shone brightly. After the proposal, the wedding was put on the agenda. While Shen Hanxing was busy, Han Qi sent a message. The man in prison was dead. He was the man who tried to push Yang Xue off the rooftop but was stopped by Ji Yan. During the interrogation, the man refused to admit his reasons but also didn’t defend himself. He would throw a tantrum daily and never reveal the mastermind behind the scenes.
“It was suicide.” Han Qi’s expression was unsightly. “That man took advantage of the prison guards’ carelessness and stabbed the end of his toothbrush into his throat. He died.”
“Dead?” Shen Hanxing frowned. “How is that possible? Even if he confessed, he would only be in prison for a few years. Why would he commit suicide? And in such a tragic way?” Although Shen Hanxing had only met the man once from afar, she had a rough understanding of that man’s family situation. He was a manual laborer who carried bricks for work. He was shrewd and greedy when it came to money. It was said that he was addicted to gambling and owed a lot of gambling debts, and had been beaten up countless times. His wife, children, and mother also suffered under him. They could only barely afford to live in the damp basement. How could such a selfish and cowardly man commit suicide? No matter how sharp the end of the toothbrush was, it was still not a dangerous weapon. How much pain would he have to endure to stab himself to death? How could this man be ruthless to himself?
“I also felt that something was wrong, so I asked someone to investigate, but there was nothing unusual.” Han Qi pushed up his glasses and said helplessly, “During this period, other than his lawyer and his family, he has not come into contact with anyone else.” If that was the case, then why did the man seek death? He was only going to jail for a few years. He had the guts to die, but he didn’t have the guts to go to jail? That was impossible. This kind of person was shameless and wasn’t afraid of going to jail.
The biggest beneficiary of this incident was Shen Sisi. She was the biggest suspect, but did Shen Sisi have the guts to do such a thing? Shen Hanxing suddenly recalled Cheng Liu’s death. It was flawless, but there were coincidences everywhere. Could it be that the two incidents were the work of the same person? Shen Hanxing’s eyes flashed with a guarded coldness. She said in a deep voice, “Continue to investigate. I definitely don’t believe that the man committed suicide because he couldn’t get over it.”
On the other side, Shen Sisi also received the news. She was so shocked that she couldn’t speak.
“Tell me the truth. Are you the one behind this?” Lei Bing was walking back and forth anxiously in her high heels; her expression was unsightly. “Did you clean up the mess or not? Did you leave any evidence that implicates us?”
“What did you say? You suspect that I did it?” Shen Sisi suddenly widened her eyes and looked at Lei Bing in disbelief. “What kind of person do you think I am? That’s murder!” How could she do such a thing?
“There’s no need to play dumb with me now, okay?” Lei Bing’s face was full of impatience, and she sneered. “So what if you killed someone? You found a man to deal with Yang Xue. Now, you don’t want to be implicated and found someone to kill this man. Isn’t that normal? You’ve already done this before; why are you playing dumb with me?” The two of them were already backed against the wall; why was she still acting innocent to her? If she loved acting so much, why didn’t she put her acting skills to good use during filming? It caused her to suffer a lot of cold looks from Wu Yu during this period.
“Don’t talk nonsense! I have no idea what you’re talking about!” Shen Sisi’s eyes were guarded. She denied without hesitation, “I don’t have the ability to kill people in prison. What kind of person do you think I am?”
“Aiyo, are you wary of me? Why don’t you see who got me into this mess in the first place!” Hearing Shen Sisi’s words, Lei Bing laughed angrily. She spread her hands and said angrily, “Take a good look. I didn’t hide the recording pen at all. I don’t have time to play tricks with you right now. It’s not a small matter for someone to die in prison. Did you do it cleanly or not?” She was really in a terrible state now. It was already enough for her to regret hiring a murderer to kill someone. She had been anxious and uneasy these days, afraid that the man would expose her in prison. But now that the man was dead, that problem was resolved. However, it was even more terrifying now, a dead man in prison was a provocation! Moreover, since the scapegoat was already gone, if the investigation ended up pointing to her... just thinking about the consequences made Lei Bing’s head go numb.
