Chapter 280: Chapter 280 Reasons Chapter 280: Chapter 280 Reasons After seeing the criminal’s behavior, how could anyone in the room not understand?

Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao’s expressions remained unchanged, but Lu Zheng’s face was filled with conflict and remorse.

He had never imagined that he’d be slapped in the face so swiftly. Just a moment ago, he was confidently declaring that there was definitely no supernatural phenomenon involved, and now he was faced with such a reversal.

All the questions he had just posed doubting Zhong Niangyao now felt like slaps to his own face, making it difficult for him to even look her in the eye.

Niangyao was completely oblivious to Lu Zheng’s turmoil; her focus was still on the criminal, “Do you know what kind of place this is?”

“This isn’t a public security bureau?” The criminal felt confused, “Aren’t you all police officers?”

“Indeed, this is the department that deals with your case, but it’s not the public security bureau.” Niangyao spoke calmly, “Your case isn’t ordinary. This is a special department, specifically for cases like yours. That is to say, here, they can use a variety of means, as long as they can find out the truth. Their interrogation last night was just an appetizer.”

“So, you had better tell the whole truth, or else when they decide to take other measures, you may really suffer.”

After hearing Zhong Niangyao’s words, the criminal had a puzzled look on his face; he even thought she might be trying to deceive him, “But even if I tell everything, you all won’t believe me, right?”

Now, he was full of regret. He regretted that he shouldn’t have been tempted by profit to agree to such a thing, and now he was in this predicament.

He knew, whether he was conscious of his actions at the time or not, he had done it, and he could not escape legal responsibility.

“I just said, this is the department that specializes in handling incidents like yours!” Niangyao spoke faintly again, “Also, do you really think that the problems you’re encountering now are just about kidnapping a little girl? Do you think allowing an evil spirit to control your body and surrendering your autonomy wouldn’t leave any side effects?”

“I will tell everything,” the criminal wiped his face before recounting the whole story.

The criminal’s name was Chen Jun, and he was just an ordinary truck driver. He earned hard-earned money every day but had managed to save a bit. However, settling down in the Imperial Capital was very difficult. His parents’ greatest wish in life was to see him married and established.

One day, a wealthy-looking couple suddenly approached him, asking him for help. He didn’t dare agree rashly, so he asked exactly what help they needed.

The couple said they only wanted to borrow his body for a day. Their daughter had died in a car accident a month ago and had recently appeared to them in a dream, saying she hoped to see them one more time. However, she needed a vessel to return to the mortal world for a day to give them a proper farewell–and he was the chosen vessel.

Hearing the couple’s story, Chen Jun felt his world view being challenged. Although not a strict materialist, he was not superstitious either and thus didn’t believe such an event could occur. He thought the couple was just dreaming such things because they missed their daughter too much.

He even tried to comfort the couple, urging them to move on with life.

But the couple kept pleading with Chen Jun, making him feel very uncomfortable.

He naturally didn’t want to agree to such a request. Although he knew it was all fake, the idea still gave him an uneasy feeling.

However, the couple said that if he agreed, they would give him a house in the center of Imperial Capital and one million as an advance. No matter whether the dream visitation turned out to be real or not, they would give him the house and money as compensation.

Tempted by this offer, Chen Jun, who was initially determined not to agree, started to hesitate. He didn’t know whether he should accept, as it all felt rather uncanny.

Finally, the couple said that as soon as he agreed, they would transfer the house to him immediately. Once everything was done, the one million would be wired to him without delay.

Knowing that pies don’t fall from the sky, but facing such a massive temptation, Chen Jun was swayed and gave his consent. He knew that with that house, marrying and having children would be no problem. Besides, he wouldn’t have to work to the bone like he currently did.

Even if he didn’t get the one million in the end, the house was worth ten million.

Later, the couple took him to go through the procedures to transfer the house.

When he held the property deed in his hand, he felt like he was dreaming. Then, the couple gave him a cup of water with burned talisman paper in it, which he drank without hesitation–he thought the worst that could happen was a stomach ache.

Unexpectedly, after drinking that cup of water, he lost consciousness. When he next regained consciousness, he found himself here, accused of kidnapping a little girl, and almost killing her.

He also regretted his carelessness in agreeing to the arrangement, now risking his entire life.

“I really didn’t know things would turn out this way,” Chen Jun kept grasping his hair, looking extremely distraught, “I never intended to harm anyone, truly, I had no wish to hurt people.”

Before, he had been afraid to speak out, fearing that they wouldn’t believe him and would think him a madman. After revealing everything now, he felt like the tightly wound string in his brain had suddenly snapped, leaving him at a loss.

“Regardless of whether you intended to harm people or not, you are not innocent in this matter,” Niangyao said coolly, “It’s your body that committed this act, which means legally, you are the criminal.”

“But this really isn’t my fault!” Chen Jun’s eyes were filled with pleading, “I can’t go to prison; if I do, what will happen to my parents?”
