Chapter 840: The Prime Suspect
After pouring all the liquid into Huang Shitou’s mouth, Lin Tian directly hid the glass tube in his sleeve.
After finishing all this, Tang Feng and the other two policemen still didn’t notice anything unusual.
The liquid that Lin Tian poured into Huang Shitou’s mouth was actually the bottle of ’Death God’s Alarm Bell’ he had obtained from Qiao Gaoshan back then.
According to Qiao Gaoshan, the drug was purchased from abroad. It has three stages: weak limbs, mental confusion, and finally brain death.
Utilizing Spiritual Qi, ’Death God’s Alarm Bell’ will spread throughout Huang Shitou’s body within two minutes, and the drug’s potency will also be activated. By then, if an autopsy is performed, it can be proven that Huang Shitou was poisoned to death by someone, not killed by a punch!
That way, he could be exonerated.
"How about it? Did you figure anything out?" Tang Feng asked from the side.
"You seem quite concerned about this, don’t you?"
Tang Feng glanced at Huang Shitou’s corpse and replied, "After all, it’s my job. My promotion and salary increase depend on these cases, so of course I care."
Lin Tian could see a hint of unnaturalness in Tang Feng; he wasn’t telling the truth.
"Couldn’t discern the cause of death; this still requires a detailed autopsy to find out." Lin Tian said.
A hint of secret joy flashed in Tang Feng’s eyes; then he restored his normal expression and said, "This is a homicide case, so naturally there will be an autopsy. In a while, we will take him to the medical examiner. However... we also hope you will come with us."
"Come along? To the medical examiner?"
Tang Feng shook his head, "Of course not. You are currently the prime suspect. Taking you to see the body was the biggest convenience I could offer. You can’t participate in the autopsy; you need to come back to the police station with me."
"Just because I’m the prime suspect?"
"Isn’t that reason enough?"
Lin Tian tilted his head, pondering for a few seconds, then finally said, "Seems I have to go; alright, I’ll come along."
Tang Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief; this troublesome guy finally agreed, accomplishing his task.
Hehe, you’re arrogant outside, wait until you’re inside, let’s see how you will fare!
Exiting the sealed-off lounge, Bai Shishi and Mei Ruyan both came up anxiously asking, "How is it?"
"I’ll say a few words to them. Wait here for a moment," Lin Tian said to Tang Feng.
"Alright." Tang Feng agreed without even thinking.
Lin Tian took Bai Shishi and Mei Ruyan by the arm and led them to a relatively secluded place.
Mei Ruyan glanced back at Tang Feng standing in the distance, then asked, "What are you up to? All mysterious?"
Bai Shishi looked at Lin Tian with worry; she felt anxious inside.
"I need to go to the police station with them." Lin Tian said directly.
"What?" Bai Shishi covered her mouth in shock, "Why? Just because you punched that bastard? No way! You can’t go; that’s not a good place!"
In the past, many people from Xianglong Tea House had been caught, and with Bai Shishi’s help, they could quickly come out. But this time it’s Lin Tian, and her heart was in turmoil.
Lin Tian smiled bitterly, "This time the media knows about it. You say I shouldn’t go; isn’t that publicly resisting arrest?"
"Resist arrest then. If anything happens, I’ll bear it!"
Lin Tian said with a wry smile, "You don’t know my skills yet? I’ll go and be back soon; no need to worry. This matter, the media knows about it; by tonight, everyone will probably know."
"What? You still hope the whole country knows?" Mei Ruyan interjected from the side.
"Even if I don’t wish, there’s no choice." Lin Tian smiled bitterly and then said, "After I go in, I should come out quickly. Before I come out, Ruyan, try not to go out, understand?"
Mei Ruyan nodded. Now her identity was still sensitive, and she didn’t know how many family clans wanted to kill her.
Then Lin Tian handed over his gun, Black Dragon Dagger, and mask to Bai Shishi; bringing these things to the police station would be unsafe.
He only carried some very fine hidden weapons, which wouldn’t be found even if searched.
"Rest assured, I’ll make sure you come out as soon as possible," Bai Shishi said seriously.
"No worries, it’s just as well to rest a few days in there, stealing half a day’s leisure," Lin Tian replied with a smile.
After a brief farewell among the three, Lin Tian got into Tang Feng’s police car. As for Huang Shitou’s body, it was also taken away.
After a while, the police car drove into the police station.
Originally, Lin Tian thought he might be directly interrogated, but he was unexpectedly taken by two young policemen into the interrogation room, handcuffed, and left for several hours without anyone attending to him, nor did he receive food or water.
Could it be that they want to let him sit for a while, to give him a knock-down effect?
Lin Tian turned his head, looking at the one-sided mirror embedded in the wall.
This kind of mirror looks ordinary from the inside out. But from the outside in, it’s a transparent glass.
Only Lin Tian has X-ray vision; he can see inside the interrogation room, which is empty.
He then looked through the walls, observing the others in the police station. Every policeman was working at their posts, as if he didn’t exist.
If it were a normal person, these hours would have made them starving and thirsty. But Lin Tian felt no such discomfort; for a high-level Martial Artist, fasting for two days wouldn’t be a problem.
Bored, he directly closed his eyes and began cultivating in place.
...
Lin Tian was leisurely cultivating in the interrogation room, but outside, the media and the internet were exploding.
"Qiansimei Employee Dead, Suspect Lin Tian!"
Just this title is enough to shock everyone’s eyes; the amount of information is so huge it makes people want to know more.
Most media outlets reporting the matter wrote articles that were fair. From Huang Shitou’s staged stunt, Lin Tian exposing Huang Shitou’s deception, to Huang Shitou’s assault and Lin Tian’s self-defense; the sequence was written in detail.
Huang Shitou’s injuries were clearly stated, with a dislodged jawbone, three lost lower molars, and unconsciousness. Yet when carried into Qiansimei’s lounge, he was still alive.
After reading the report, many couldn’t help but wonder if it’s true that Lin Tian accidentally killed someone. After all, that punch was too powerful!
This news once again pushed Lin Tian and Qiansimei to the headlines and trending searches.
During this time, some newspapers continued to reveal new developments in the case, but most were not substantial. Now netizens most want to know if Lin Tian is truly the culprit.
