Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 1148: The Whole Truth (4)

Fuming with anger, Wei Changqing followed the two into the room, and casually slammed the door shut, determined to settle things here.

Inside the room, an unimaginable silence quickly settled in.

Wei Changqing turned back from the door, along with Zhan Dapeng and Zhang Sanfeng, to view the center of the room. There lay a chair, where Zang Xiaolian sat alone. From their perspective, it was clear to see Zang Xiaolian with his head down, and his hands on his knees trembling continuously.

"What’s going on here?" Wei Changqing immediately questioned.

In this posture, Zang Xiaolian seemed like a criminal preparing for a confession, a scene all too familiar for Wei Changqing who had spent years interrogating prisoners.

Zhan Dapeng was equally puzzled, tilting his head to examine Zang Xiaolian’s drooping head.

Zhang Sanfeng, however, bore a calm expression, as if he had anticipated what was happening.

Xiao Yebai, who was being questioned by Wei Changqing, was fiddling with the home-installed surveillance video playback device along with Tang Shaohong.

Once Wei Changqing saw what they were tinkering with, he cast a cold glance back at Zang Xiaolian’s head: "Xiaojiu?!"

Despite his often fiery exchanges with Zhan Dapeng outside, Lao Liu was known for his upright, black-and-white standpoint, never arguing for personal reasons, but purely sticking to his principles.

Upon hearing his voice, Zang Xiaolian stiffened for a moment, slowly raised his head, and as soon as his gaze met Wei Changqing’s, it fell back down instantly, softly saying, "Sixth Brother—"

"What did you do?" Lao Liu asked.

Zang Xiaolian shook his head, then shook it again.

At this point, the video playback was ready. The small screen in the room began showcasing footage recorded last night.

A silhouette was seen walking down the corridor, effortlessly opening the door to the patient’s room.

Zhan Dapeng asked, "Who is that?"

The time displayed on the video was around four or five in the morning. They all knew that a perpetrator choosing this time was because others were most likely to be off guard, a prime time for action.

Wei Changqing posed another question, "Why wasn’t the ward door locked, allowing someone to easily enter?"

In his view, he would never make such an elementary mistake, giving people the chance to exploit it. Since inside the room appeared to have only the critically ill patient and the defenseless doctor, the intrusion of a knife-wielding assailant would spell death for all.

His question drew numerous explanatory scenarios.

Zhan Dapeng scratched his chin, as if he had grasped some understanding.

Zhang Sanfeng had already figured out the answer.

Was this even worth questioning? For such a basic error, Xiao Yebai was unlikely to commit it. Besides, there couldn’t have been only Xiao Yebai pondering over security in this house. The reason left was just one: deliberately letting that person enter to commit a crime, with the sole purpose of setting a trap and catching someone red-handed.

After Wei Changqing swiftly gathered his thoughts and grasped the crux of the issue, his face turned pallid, and he looked at Xiaojiu’s head, unwilling to believe, and asked, "Did you do it, Xiaojiu?"

"I, I was helping Second Brother check on Sister-in-law’s condition, just, just that," Zang Xiaolian replied, now afraid to recall how many fatal oversights he had committed yesterday.

"What happened to Second Brother?"

"Second Brother he—" Zang Xiaolian raised his head, about to elaborate on Xiao Yebai’s situation, when suddenly he saw on the TV screen himself standing by the patient’s bedside last night, with a glance back at the door, where someone stood. Last night, what he thought was a mistaken illusion was now confirmed by the clear image captured by the recording, proving it wasn’t a figment of his imagination, but real.
