Chapter 218 Human Nature is Despicable
The car drove into the police station. Cao Bin took Tao Han out first. Chi Xia opened Lu Ningzhi's door after she got out of the car.
As the group walked in, Luo Xun's phone rang urgently. He glanced at the screen and saw that it was Lin Wenjue calling.
"Lao Cao, take them upstairs. I'll take a call." Luo Xun said, "Chi Xia, wait a minute."
Cao Bin took Tao Han and Lu Ningzhi upstairs, one on each side.
Luo Xun and Chi Xia walked away and answered Lin Wenjue's call: "Old Lin."
Lin Wenjue's voice was unusually heavy: "Lao Luo, we found Pan Haili here, in a house that has been renovated but the owner has not yet moved in."
Hearing this name, Luo Xun's eyes turned cold: "Pan Haili? Is she still alive..."
"He's alive." Lin Wenjue said, "But the situation is not optimistic. We have contacted the hospital."
"Do you need support?" Luo Xun asked.
"unnecessary."
Lin Wenjue said: "But I suggest that you postpone the interrogation for a while, it's best to wait until Pan Haili wakes up."
Luo Xun had already heard the sound of the ambulance on his side: "Okay, settle Lu Ningzhi here, we will meet you at the hospital."
He hung up the phone and looked at Chi Xia: "Chi Xia, do you think it's a good thing or a bad thing for Pan Haili to be found by us at this time?"
Chi Xia stared in deep thought, and after a while she said, "Her appearance at this time will only prove that Tao Han was responsible for the fire."
Luo Xun frowned: "You mean, the other party threw Pan Haili out at this time in order to let Lu Ningzhi stay out of this matter."
Chi Xia nodded and walked inside: "We'll know if it is true or not after a test."
Tao Han was taken directly to the interrogation room, but Lu Ningzhi was in the reception room at the moment.
Chi Xia asked Cao Bin if Tao Han said anything before entering the interrogation room.
"Yes."
Cao Bin smiled bitterly: "He loves her so much, so much. Before he went in, he told Lu Ningzhi not to feel any pressure and to live a good life. His ending today is retribution, it's what he deserves."
Chi Xia looked towards the reception room and saw Lu Ningzhi, who was wearing light makeup and dressed appropriately. She was picking up the cup and taking a sip of water.
As if she felt Chi Xia's gaze, she also looked in Chi Xia's direction, nodded slightly at her, and smiled.
Chi Xia sighed in her heart. She really couldn't hate a woman like Lu Ningzhi.
"I'll go talk to her." Chi Xia said, "Don't come, Captain Luo, let's go to the hospital when I come out."
"Okay." Luo Xun said.
When Chi Xia walked to the reception room, Cao Bin asked curiously, "Hospital? Why are you going to the hospital again? Is there something wrong with Zhu Chongliang again?"
"It's not Zhu Chongliang, it's Pan Haili."
As Luo Xun spoke, he told him Lin Wenjue's phone call again.
Chi Xia entered the reception room, closed the door lightly, and walked up to Lu Ningzhi : "Do you need me to add some water?"
"Need not."
Lu Ningzhi looked at her with a smile: "Officer Chi, just ask whatever you want to ask. I actually like you very much."
"What a coincidence. I like you, too."
Chi Xia sat down: "Did I tell you that when we first saw your photo, we all thought you looked like the same person."
"Oh?" Lu Ningzhi became interested: "Who?"
"Akina Nakamori."
"She..." Lu Ningzhi smiled: "It's my pleasure."
"But..." Chi Xia looked at her: "She is a beautiful woman and a talented woman, but she is always dragged down by emotions and family ties."
Lu Ningzhi seemed to be listening to her very seriously: "Really? I'm not sure about that. It sounds like we are from the same group."
Chi Xia continued: "After more and more conflicts, she finally chose to cut off contact with her family."
Lu Ningzhi propped up her chin and said, "Who would do this unless it was absolutely necessary ?"
Chi Xia had already gotten the answer she wanted. She did not continue the conversation but suddenly said, "We found Pan Haili."
Lu Ningzhi was finally stunned for a moment.
But the next moment, she didn't ask who Pan Haili was, she just said: "Well, congratulations to you."
Neither of them spoke anymore, they just stared at each other. Lu Ningzhi smiled faintly, without a single flaw on her face.
"Are you interested in psychology?" Chi Xia asked her when he was about to leave.
Lu Ningzhi looked at her, tapping the edge of the paper cup with her index finger: "Studying people's hearts and manipulating their hearts is sometimes a very interesting thing. You don't have to be interested in it to learn it."
Seeing that Chi Xia was still not leaving, she continued, "Everyone has bad habits and weaknesses. Everyone is the same. If you find the weakness, everyone can be used for your benefit."
Chi Xia turned around: "Do you enjoy it? Do you enjoy controlling people's hearts?"
Lu Ningzhi shook her head without even thinking: "Officer Chi, I just want to live a quiet life. I'm too lazy to live after seeing so many human hearts. This world is dirty and rotten. The root of it all lies here."
She poked her chest with her index finger: "Love, hate, desire, cowardice, courage, fear, they are all reasons to kill. There are always things that will force you to take a path you don't want to take. Do you have any solution? Do I have any solution? No, none of us have any solution. We are all tools being manipulated. Why should we be the ones to struggle? Have you ever thought about this question?"
Chi Xia didn't say anything, she just stood up and walked out.
When she reached the door, Lu Ningzhi called her again.
"Officer Chi."
She pulled up her sleeves, the marks of domestic violence on them were fading. "The marks of him beating me are still there, but he has been dead for a few days, and he will never have the chance to hit me again."
Chi Xia curled the corners of his mouth: "Congratulations."
"Any wound will fade." She accepted Chi Xia's blessing: "It depends on whether you are willing to take a gamble."
Chi Xia turned and went out.
Looking at the door that was creaking and shaking gently, Lu Ningzhi let out a soft laugh that slowly rose up.
Is that Akina Nakamori?
She felt familiar with it, too familiar with it; that was the same thing the man said when he first met her.
But after the ups and downs, people must always have the courage to live towards death.
Akina Nakamori has it, so why can’t she, Lu Ningzhi, have it?
When Luo Xun saw Chi Xia coming out with a serious expression on his face, he knew the result of her test.
"Take the information about Lu Ningzhi's father's case. I want to take a look at it on the way."
Chi Xia's face was not optimistic. He walked over and gathered all the information together.
Luo Xun said a few words to Cao Bin, then went to the hospital with Chi Xia to meet up with Lin Wenjue and the others.
On the way, Luo Xuncai asked Chi Xia: "Did your conversation with Lu Ningzhi go well?"
"She almost told me that she was the mastermind behind all this."
Chi Xia looked through the pile of information : "There is no evidence. We don't have any evidence. Luo Xun, we can't find any evidence to prove that she is guilty."
She didn't wait for Luo Xun's answer, and quickly focused her attention on the pile of information. She added: "Even if we find the flaws, we can only understand how she did all this."
"Let's do our best." Luo Xun said as the car turned a corner.
Chi Xia didn't say anything until the car stopped in the hospital parking lot. She put down the information and looked at Luo Xun fiercely: "Luo Xun, perhaps the death of Lu Ningzhi's father is the same as the fire case."
Luo Xun stopped opening the door: "You mean..."
The two looked at each other and said in unison: "Kill with a borrowed knife."
"Look at the transcript of Tao Han's father."
Chi Xia handed him the files from that year. "He didn't have any plans to drive that day, so he drank two bottles of beer the night before. But the police didn't find any alcohol in his body when they checked him. It's hard to explain until now. The reason he drove was that he received an order in the evening. The price was very high, so he decided to drive. Tao Han must have been with him at the time, and the person who drank must have been Tao Han. He said before that he was the one driving, not his father."
"Besides, Lu Ningzhi's mother was a little unconscious at the time, so her statement was not accepted."
Luo Xun quickly found the key point: "Her transcript said that her daughter ran away and her husband wanted to chase her for money. These two sentences seem to be incoherent, but if you think about it, maybe you can understand that Lu Ningzhi took her father's money and ran away, and her father was chasing people and money."
The sudden order, the confirmed dispatch plan, and Lu Ningzhi and her father who had to go out. If they had calculated the route and everything that might happen, the car accident was inevitable. And Lu Ningzhi was the one who knew the truth. In this way, she had grasped Tao Han's weak spot.
"Tao Han likes Lu Ningzhi."
Chi Xia continued, "She held onto this truth for so many years, until she got tired of her current life and wanted to use the same old trick to escape from the sea of suffering. This secret could threaten Tao Han, and by taking advantage of his guilt and his love for her, Tao Han became the real knife."
After Chi Xia finished speaking, he suddenly realized that at that time, Lu Ningzhi was only nineteen years old.
