Chapter 169: Exposing thr culprit (1)

"This is absolutely ridiculous! You cannot seriously doubt me because of a stupid picture!" Xin Manchu roared. "How come the investigation is still going on when Chow Mey is already arrested?"

"Because many things don’t make sense, Mr. Xin," Jia plainly stated. "Both sleeping medicine and cold medicine was found in Wan Guanting’s drink."

"So? Chow Mey could have done that," he scoffed. "Isn’t it pretty obvious?"

"Yes, this doesn’t make any sense!" Zeng Shan cried. "You are putting baseless accusations against him!"

"Are they really baseless?"

From afar, Meng Rin was unconsciously rubbing her neck.

Did he really use Manchu for...?

"Why are you shivering?"

She jolted hearing Mingshen’s deep voice beside her. His hawk-like gaze was even more piercing than his voice.

"It’s a little cold here..." she awkwardly smiled.

"The air conditioning is off. Isn’t that why that man is sweating over there?" He smiled. "Oh my, I totally forgot~ He might be sweating because of Spicy’s spicy line of questioning~"

Jia folded her arms as she stared at Xin Manchu. "Okay. Let’s do it step by step. After the celebration ended, you went to Zeng Shan’s room."

Zeng Shan’s face flushed crimson.

Xin Manchu stiffened. "I didn’t-"

"Hiding is not an option because Guo Juan had heard your voice."

His eyes coldly narrowed at Guo Juan. "So you were spying on us."

She bit her lip hard. "It’s not my fault if my room is beside Zeng Shan’s. Besides...you need to learn to be quieter if you don’t want people to discover you."

"You..."

Ke Yufei held back his urge to smile. It was the perfect moment to click a picture of his ugly expression. His fingers twitched on his camera and in the end, he managed to sneakily take a picture.

But the hair on his back stood upright when Bai Caishen threatened him with a smile. "Plotting against my fellow actor like that...I will squeeze out some hush hush compensation for that."

He shot back a dry look.

Jia continued. "Zeng Shan’s room is right below Wan Guanting’s room. You were in her room in the early hours of that morning, right?"

He stiffened.

"You cannot lie anyway. The camera has caught you going into her room."

He then shrugged. "Yeah so what?"

"It means that you had easy access to come to his room simply by climbing through the balcony. You didn’t bother getting a neighbor room like Ke Yufei’s because going sideways was trickier. The space between two rooms is wide so it makes coming horizontally sideways a lot more challenging than going up and down."

His eyes widened.

Juan asked, gasping in disbelief. "Why would anybody do that?"

"Because a killer wouldn’t want to get himself caught in the cameras if he just got up and went through the corridor. That’s what was wrong in the whole situation. If Miss. Chow pre planned the murder, then she wouldn’t be so stupid in going just like that and incriminate herself."

Meng Rin clenched her fist. Her eyes shone with a strange hope. "S-so she is innocent."

"Yes. No matter how you think about it, her guilt doesn’t make sense if she left his room at 4.08 AM. Wan Guanting was already asleep when she entered his room. There was simply no chance to talk to him. Even if it was a crime of passion at the last moment thinking that this was a good chance to get rid of him, it shouldn’t take so much time. So I believe Miss. Chow. Seeing how she ran out panicked and alarmed from his room, she might have very well fainted upon realizing that he was actually dead."

Xin Manchu gritted his teeth. "How does that make me the culprit?"

"Because when Wan Guanting was killed, there was a metallic clinking kind of a sound that was heard by Bai Caishen and Ke Yufei."

She walked at his side and lifted his wrist. Two pairs of cufflinks shone that were fastened on his shirt cuffs. "I believe this is the same shirt you were wearing that evening."

His eyes narrowed. "And?"

"Your cufflinks made a similar sound quite a number of times during the dinner when I was there. And I strongly believe that it was this very same sound that Bai Caishen heard that night when they clicked against the balcony railing."

He watched her wide-eyed. "This...this is utter nonsense! You are just mindlessly throwing accusations at me! None of your claims make any sense! How can I just climb a balcony like that?" His gaze darkened. "I don’t have freaking superpowers!"

She smiled. "You don’t need superpowers, Xin Manchu. You just need a cable."

"What?"

They were already in Wan Guanting’s room so Jia limped towards the balcony and pointed at the center of the railing. "There is a small semi-circular dent formed here. Some of the paint is also scrapped. I had asked the staff attending this side of the rooms and she said that this wasn’t the case before. So my conjecture is that something was pinned or locked here that caused it."

Ke Yufei curiously took a closer look. "And you feel that a cable was hanging from here."

"Precisely."

Xin Manchu exclaimed. "What rubbish! This is Director Wan’s room, not mine that I can conveniently just hook one side of the cable to his balcony!"

"You did that during the in-room celebration time. You probably hid the thin cable inside your jacket and at your backside partly stuffed inside your pants. There was no place else because nobody came with any sort of purse or bags to hide it. Then during the celebration and confusion, you sneaked in the balcony and hooked one side of it to the railing. It fell down towards Zeng Shan’s room," she pointed below.

She walked back and looked into his eyes. "Then when the party was over and Wan Guanting had passed out, you made sure that the balcony door was unlocked only so that you won’t have any problems intruding in the room later on."
