Chapter 154: Unquestionable evidence (2)

Jia contemplated. "But then I question why Miss. Chow even bothered to go and meet him? To talk about what when he was clearly not in any condition for any conversation? They all saw him collapse on the bed when they left. And this was just about an hour ago then. What was the point?"

Lei Honghui said, "Then doesn’t that make it all the more sense? She knew he wasn’t in any condition to even defend himself, much less talk. She had the key card. She easily went in and killed him."

"But you just said a minute ago that she might have probably gotten into an argument with Wan Guanting. Something triggered her and she killed him. But now you suggest that this was a planned murder. So which is it? Crime of passion or crime of planning? It cannot be both at once," Jia questioned him.

His brow twitched.

"If it was a crime of passion, then maybe Miss. Chow’s statement that she fainted is true. She suddenly realized what she did and maybe the stress got to her. Or maybe they were talking the whole time and she killed him near the end just before she left. That explains the time. In this case, she is lying.

But if it was planned, then the gap between her entering and leaving his room doesn’t make sense. Suffocating a heavily drunk man wouldn’t have taken much time. She could have easily left in just five minutes. Ten minutes max."

His expression twisted with annoyance. "What do you want to say, Miss. Song?"

Jia slowly said, weighing her words, "There are still a lot of questions to be answered. But my initial hypothesis is that Miss. Chow really found him already dead."

Chow Mey’s eyes widened. She hadn’t expected a cop to take her side despite such overwhelming evidence.

"I do feel Miss. Chow genuinely came to meet Wan Guanting. That’s why she knocked first. Then she used the key card. That means she was expecting Wan Guanting to be awake."

"It could be just acting to fool us into thinking that she didn’t have prior motivation," Lei Honghui narrowed his eyes. "Some criminals can be really meticulous."

"Is the latter part an act too? She fainted and as soon as she regained her consciousness, she hurriedly ran away. She is an actor, yes, but the fear and shock on her face as she left was real."

Lei Honghui frowned in displeasure. "You are overthinking, Miss. Song. Nobody but Miss. Chow could have committed the crime. There was nobody else who went to his room after they left the party. There aren’t any traces of somebody else’s presence anyway. We combed through the whole room. And how would somebody else enter the room anyway? There is no other way than the main door. His room is on the twelfth floor. You don’t suppose somebody climbed all the way up, right?"

Jia said nothing.

"We also cannot deny the evidence and timing."

"Then what is Miss. Chow’s motivation?"

"That is exactly what I am asking her, but she is keeping her silence."

Dong Haoyu glared at him. "She doesn’t have any motivation because she didn’t kill him!"

"Then can she at least answer the purpose behind her late night visit to Wan Guanting?"

Chow Mey clenched her fists. "It was just related to work only."

Lei Honghui smiled. "What was so urgent that it couldn’t wait until the next morning when you had already seen him so drunk? Which work related matters could you have possibly discussed with him in that state like Miss. Song suggests?"

"I just thought that he would have sobered up!"

"Just within an hour after that much drinking?"

"Why not? Director Wan wasn’t the type to get drunk so easily. Even if he did at the point we all left, I figured he would be alright by the time I would meet him."

"Okay. Let’s believe you for a moment. But I still don’t understand your urgency to meet him."

"What do you care about when I want to discuss my work!? I can go whenever I want. Or what? You mean that men can dictate every choice a woman makes?" She sneered.

Jia glanced at her.

Lei Honghui grimaced. "How does the question of a man dictating a woman’s choices even arise here?"

"Because that’s all you men like to do, right? Tell a woman every step of the way what she should be doing and what she shouldn’t? That man publicly humiliated me!" She gnashed her jaw pointing her finger at Mingshen.

Mingshen, who was suddenly brought into the limelight, spread his hands sideways cluelessly. "What did I do? It’s in the doctor’s job description to give bitter medicine and by far, truth has always topped the charts~"

"Shut up!"

He just shrugged.

"And you!" She faced Lei Honghui outraged. "You are harassing me only because I am an easy target, right? You think how hard can a woman fight anyway?"

He looked stunned. "Miss. Chow. I don’t have any personal vendetta against you. You are not being targeted. You are under suspicion because you are literally the only person who could have killed Wan Guanting. You are right there in the CCTV. It’s the evidence speaking against you, not me. Then again, you are not giving any clear answers either. It’s all vague. You aren’t even saying how you have the key card to his room."

Her face reddened with fury.

"So it’s you who is worsening your own case. Unless you give a full account of what happened and what you did and why you did so, I cannot set you free."

Chow Mey refused to speak up about anything until the end and eventually, Lei Honghui had no choice but to put her in custody.

"Please you cannot take her away...!" Dong Haoyu paled and tried to stop him. "She didn’t do anything!"

He desperately reached out to Jia but she, too, was helpless.

"But you believe in Mey that she had seen Director Wan already dead!"

Jia shook her head. "My belief doesn’t work, Dong Haoyu. I can believe her all I want, but if Chow Mey is not clearly answering our questions, then it just becomes harder for her. The only way now to ease up her case against the overwhelming evidence are her reasons.

How did she have the key card? Why did she go to meet Wan Guanting? Why couldn’t it wait until the morning? Why didn’t she raise the alarm earlier? Her reasons could throw some light on her defense, but she is closing that door herself."
