Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter-Chapter 580 - 286: The Ultimate Kill by Advancing Through Retreat
"You—"
Zhao Donglai instantly felt his blood pressure rise.
Luo Fei took a deep breath, realizing he had underestimated this girl.
He had considered that Pan Yuqi might be well-prepared, but he didn't expect her to have the murder weapon ready.
But Luo Fei was not prepared to give up!
He must try once more, no matter what, he couldn't let Xue Zhiwen get away completely, so he looked at her again.
"Pan Yuqi, I hope you understand that you are now facing extremely serious charges of murder and intentional harm. If you insist on taking responsibility alone, Xue Zhiwen will walk free, and Duan Ying's death will no longer be his responsibility."
Every word had now been put on display.
No need for tacit understanding because it's obvious this case was manipulated intentionally.
Moreover, the manipulator didn't actively give any instructions!
All arrangements were made in advance, including Pan Yuqi being here and the blood-stained murder weapon.
But everyone still awaited the girl's indifferent nod.
"I understand, but this was indeed my doing. Please don't trouble Professor Xue anymore, he is innocent." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
Her words pierced the hearts of everyone present.
Case solving requires acting according to the law and reasoning, and what law enforcement fears most is encountering a solid case with irrefutable evidence yet being powerless to prosecute.
Just like now, exactly like this moment!
Now Pan Yuqi's eyes lacked luster, her only obsession was to ensure Xue Zhiwen's departure.
Even if it meant sacrificing her entire life, she would not hesitate.
Luo Fei finally let out a long sigh.
He knew he indeed wanted to catch both of them, but Xue Zhiwen had trained his loyal follower too well.
"Alright, let's put this matter aside for now."
"There's one more thing I need you to confirm. That afternoon when I was investigating the case, you delivered food, which was poisoned with disulfide, a lethal dose. The laboratory has provided proof. Now I need you to answer whether this was incited, guided, or instructed by Xue Zhiwen."
Shock spread among everyone surrounding them when these words were heard.
Even Zhao Donglai was stunned beyond belief.
Apart from Zhang Wei and his team, no one knew about the poisoning incident involving Luo Fei, and it turned out to be a deadly herbicide — such tactics induced chills.
Openly attempting to murder a police officer is an extremely serious offense.
If responsibility is taken alone, it would result in a terrifying and harsh judgment.
Everyone now looked at Pan Yuqi with eyes of sympathy, hoping she would soften her stance and clarify the situation.
After all, relying on one person to bear all sins is too heavy.
Especially when it's evidently an ignorant girl being manipulated.
"That's right."
Pan Yuqi's tone relinquished everything, she slowly raised her head, a smile suddenly appearing on her face.
It seemed this was her limit, the smile mixed with resignation and determination tugged at their hearts.
"I did it, because you were investigating the case, so I thought of poisoning at that time. The drug was procured through unofficial channels and not provided by the school. This was solely my act."
"It has nothing to do with anyone else."
The last five words were spoken with immense weight but also a hint of relief.
Everyone present fell into silence, powerless to confront this girl with such steadfast mentality.
Once someone holds a certain obsession, their actions become immovable. Today they learned this lesson.
"Sigh..."
This time Luo Fei was the first to get up and leave the room.
It wasn't that he was unwilling to face the girl but he couldn't continue this scene for now.
Confronting Xue Zhiwen requires thinking of another way.
The affection between these two is revolting.
One utilizes others with premeditated intentions, even orchestrating a tragedy for another to take the fall.
The other out of love ignorantly assumes guilt and even sacrifices herself mindlessly.
Whether coerced or voluntarily, Pan Yuqi at this point is beyond saving.
As the principal actor behind this case, whatever punishment lies ahead must be borne.
The fingerprint on the knife and the final scenes of Duan Ying's harm evidence pointed to everything, yet Xue Zhiwen, the real knowledgeable person, seemed to be let go.
Leaving the interrogation room, Luo Fei's footsteps were heavy.
Moving slowly forward, the surroundings fell silent, the story playing out in his mind.
It was at this moment he seemingly understood the connections between these people.
"Xue Zhiwen, very well..."
Two hours later, the final interrogation work was completed.
Now only the result matching the case situation emerged.
Xue Zhiwen had no issues, he had an alibi verification and attendance certification, and he didn't confess nor was there surveillance evidence against him, hence classified with insufficient evidence.
Meanwhile, Pan Yuqi confessed with material witness testimony and presented all relevant proofs.
Even accusations including attempting to poison Luo Fei were added, she was handcuffed and escorted out.
In the hallway, newly released from interrogation, Xue Zhiwen leisurely strolled by, brushing past Pan Yuqi coming from the opposite direction.
He was a young professor well known across the campus.
