"The crime scene is near the bar where you were drinking. According to the testimony of the bartender and the designated driver, there was a blank period of fifteen minutes between the time you walked out of the bar and the time the designated driver took you home, which was enough time for you to go to the parking lot and commit the crime." The police said confidently.

"What a joke! I was so drunk that I was staggering when I walked, how could I commit the crime? Moreover, in just fifteen minutes, where could I prepare the murder weapon?" Lin Hezhen laughed in anger.

The policeman said calmly, "Who knows if you were pretending to be drunk? Besides, your car and the victim's car were parked in the same parking lot. You could have hidden the murder weapon in your car and taken it out when you needed it."

"That's nonsense!" Lin Kazuma turned to Yukinoshita Yukino and said, "Yukino, you know me very well. How could I kill Haruno, Koai, Eriri and the others? Someone must be framing me."

The policeman also turned to Yukino and said, "Superintendent, there have been three murders and the murderer hasn't been found yet. The Metropolitan Police Department and the media are putting a lot of pressure on us. If this continues, none of us can bear it. Lin Hezhen now has solid evidence and is the biggest suspect. We should arrest him immediately."

"I don't accept it! This is a false case and the real murderer is still at large. Why should I be convicted? I want to find a lawyer!" Lin Hezhen said angrily.

"It's fine if you want to find a lawyer, but right now you are the biggest suspect. Unless you can provide sufficient evidence to prove your innocence, the conclusion cannot be changed," said the policeman.

"You..." Lin Hezhen wanted to say something.

"Okay, stop arguing." Yukinoshita Yukino frowned and stopped the two of them, "Let me think about it."

"Inspector, do you believe his excuses? The evidence in this case is conclusive. The murderer is Lin Hezhen. We should order his arrest immediately." The policeman said bluntly.

Yukinoshita Yukino snorted coldly: "Your eagerness to make a verdict can easily lead to false charges and wrongful convictions. This will only damage the police's judgment. You should know the consequences."

"Inspector, I..." The policeman was at a loss for words.

"Okay, stop talking." Yukinoshita Yukino waved her hand, interrupting the policeman, "We can't let a bad guy go, nor can we wrongly accuse a good guy. All of this must be confirmed by investigation, and we must not make hasty judgments."

"But..." the policeman hesitated.

"No buts." Yukinoshita Yukino said in a deep voice.

"Okay, then I'll go back to work." Seeing that Yukinoshita Yukino insisted, the policeman turned and left.

......

After the policeman left, Yukinoshita Yukino spoke: "Lin Jun, we have known each other for so long, I know you would not do such a thing, I believe you!"

"Thank you, Yukino," Lin Hezhen said with emotion, "I feel like the murderer seems to be targeting people around me. Although I can't produce any evidence, I have this hunch. So, you should be more careful at ordinary times and never be alone."

"Okay, I see." Yukinoshita Yukino nodded, "Targeting the people around you? This is also a direction for investigation. I will keep an eye on it."

"Damn it, who is the murderer? I don't remember offending anyone!" Lin Hezhen scratched his hair in annoyance.

"Don't worry, we will check the suspects one by one and we will definitely catch him." said Yukinoshita Yukino.

......

At this moment, hurried footsteps sounded outside the interrogation room. Then, the door was suddenly opened from the outside, and the policeman with a mustache rushed in and said, "Officer, major breakthrough! The murderer confessed!"

"What?" Lin Kazuma and Yukinoshita Yukino were shocked at the same time.

"Who is it?" Yukinoshita Yukino asked hurriedly.

The man with the mustache said with a strange expression: "It was Kato Megumi. She just admitted that she killed the three victims."

Hearing this, Lin Hezhen felt as if he had been petrified, and all the blood in his body seemed to have frozen into ice.

"Impossible... How could the murderer be Hui?"

"How could she kill Eriri and the other three? I...I don't believe it," Lin Kazuma murmured, "Kei is so kind, how could she kill people? You must have made a mistake, right?"

The policeman with a mustache sighed and said, "We also find it hard to believe, but she has admitted that she killed the three victims."

Lin Hezhen interrupted him and said, "How could she admit to something she didn't do? You tortured her to get a confession, didn't you?"

"How is that possible? We conducted the interrogation normally!" said the man with a moustache unhappily.

"Moreover, our colleagues found a damaged bow and arrow in the trash discarded by your family, with Kato Megumi's fingerprints on it. The facts are here, and you can't help but believe it!"

"Impossible! I don't believe it!" Lin Hezhen became emotional. "There must be something wrong here. I want to see Hui. She is in the interrogation room next door, right? I want to see her!"

Lin Hezhen pushed the mustache-wearing policeman away and ran out.

Chapter 344 The Returned Wedding Ring

"Hey, stop running around!"

Seeing Lin Kazuma rushing out of the interrogation room, the mustache policeman was about to stop him but was stopped by Yukinoshita Yukino.

"Let him go." said Yukinoshita Yukino.

"This..." The man with a mustache looked at Yukinoshita Yukino with a frown.

He knew Yukinoshita Yukino's character very well, and once a decision was made, it would be difficult to change it.

But he still worriedly said: "Is this really a good idea? If I interfere with public affairs and obstruct the police from enforcing the law, I will be detained for at least half a month..."

"It's okay, I believe him." Yukinoshita Yukino replied.

"Alas..." The man with the mustache shook his head helplessly, "Superintendent, you are too biased towards him."

"This is not called partiality," Yukinoshita Yukino said calmly, "because I know that neither he nor Kato Megumi would kill anyone."

"Hmph, you just spoil him. You don't know what's so good about that kid?" The policeman with a mustache muttered in a low voice.

Hearing this, Yukinoshita Yukino blushed slightly and argued, "How can I pamper him? I just believe that he can prove Kato Megumi's innocence."

After hearing what Yukinoshita Yukino said, the man with a mustache shook his head helplessly.

It was obvious that the female police officer was deeply involved and had nothing to say about a woman in love.

......

In the corridor, Lin Hezhen was running all the way.

At this moment, there was only one thought left in his mind, which was to find Kato Megumi and find out what had happened.

He rushed directly to another interrogation room and turned the doorknob a few times, only to find that the door was locked.

Lin Hezhen raised his foot and kicked the door open with a dull thud.

In the interrogation room, Kato Megumi stared blankly ahead, not knowing what she was thinking.

Sitting opposite her were two police officers in charge of the interrogation.

They had finished their work and were sorting out documents when they unexpectedly received an uninvited guest.

Lin Hezhen rushed in and saw Kato Megumi sitting on the interrogation chair with dull eyes, as if her soul had left her body.

I saw her with her head down, her eyes slightly red, her face pale and haggard, as if she had just finished crying, with traces of tears on her face.

Seeing this scene, Lin Hezhen felt as if his heart was cut by a knife.

"Hui, why do you want to admit that you are the murderer? I know you wouldn't kill anyone, why did you do that?" Lin Hezhen walked over, grabbed her shoulders and asked.

Hearing Lin Hezhen's call, Kato Megumi, who had been motionless like a sculpture before, finally regained a bit of spirit in her eyes.

"Hey, how dare you break into the interrogation room? Get out!" the two policemen shouted.

"Let them stay for a while. The interrogation is over anyway, right?" The policeman with a mustache who followed Lin Hezhen in made excuses for him.

So, the three policemen left the interrogation room together, leaving the space to Lin Hezhen and the other one.

Lin Hezhen closed the door, walked in front of Kato Hui, then slowly squatted down, held her hand and asked softly: "Hui, tell me why?"

Hearing his gentle words, Kato Hui slowly raised her head, her eyes filled with tears, and she choked and said, "They found your shoe prints at the crime scene, and your fingerprints on the murder weapon..."

"What! Just because of this? Do you think I'm the murderer and want to take the blame for me?" Lin Hezhen said in shock, "Why are you so stupid?"

"I know you are not the murderer, but now the news media are targeting you, and I heard the police say that they asked them to close the case as soon as possible... I don't know what to do... I just want to help you..." Kato Megumi said crying.

"Silly..." Lin Hezhen felt both sad and touched.

What's sour is that she would rather take risks to defend herself for him, and what's touching is that she would even risk her life for him and would rather take the blame.

He held Kato Hui's cheeks with both hands, wiped away the remaining tears from her eyes with his thumbs, and said gently: "Thank you, Hui, I will definitely find a way to prove my innocence and never allow anyone to frame me. At the same time, you can't sacrifice yourself to bear the false accusation."

"You must immediately find those police officers to change their confessions, and I will also call a lawyer to come and defend us." Lin Hezhen said solemnly.

"But..." Kato Megumi hesitated, "Actually, I'm not sure if I killed the person. Sometimes I do forget where I went and what I did. Moreover, according to the police, the murder weapons have not only your fingerprints, but also mine."

"What do you mean?" Lin Hezhen asked with a frown.

"I was thinking, maybe I am the murderer? Miss Yang No also said that I suffer from split personality disorder..." Kato Megumi said tremblingly.

"How could that be? You wouldn't!" Lin Hezhen shook his head. "Don't let your imagination run wild. The murderer must be someone else! No matter what the police say, you must insist that you didn't kill anyone. My lawyer will be here soon. You will be fine."

"No!" Kato Megumi suddenly squatted down with her head in her hands, "I always see the tragic deaths of Eriri, Hayasaka Ai, and Yukinoshita Haruno in my dreams. Their bodies are so scary and so real, it's as if I saw them with my own eyes!"

"Woooooooo..."

As she spoke, Kato Megumi's voice became choked.

She curled up in the corner, her arms around her knees, her eyes unfocused, and she muttered to herself: "Don't come to me! Don't come over..."

At this moment, she was obviously very scared. Her body was twitching slightly and her lips were shaking, as if she was extremely afraid of something.

"Hui!" Lin Hezhen cried out in pain, but he could not help at all and could only worry.

Kato Megumi's gaze wandered to Lin Hezhen, and her empty eyes finally had focus.

"Kazuma," Kato Megumi suddenly called out, her voice trembling a little.

"Yes, I'm here." Lin Hezhen replied.

Kato Megumi stretched out her white jade-like right hand, placed it on her left hand, took off the shining wedding ring from her slender ring finger, and put it in Lin Hezhen's hand.

"I will give this ring back to you..."

Lin Hezhen was stunned for a moment: "This is the wedding ring I gave you, what else do you want to give me?"

"I no longer want to be your wife. Please take it away..." Kato Megumi said, her eyes moistened again. Crystal tears flowed down the corners of her eyes and fell on the back of her flawless white hands like grains of crystal.

"Why..." Lin Hezhen couldn't believe it.

"I can't be your wife in this state. I'm sorry..." Kato Megumi covered her chest with her hands and hurriedly fled the interrogation room.

Chapter 345 Lawyer Sakurajima Mai

"Hey, Hui, don't go!" Lin Hezhen shouted and chased after him.

Unfortunately, as soon as he walked out the door, he was stopped by several men in uniform.

"Ms. Kato Megumi is an important suspect. She will temporarily stay at the police station to assist in the investigation. Please stay and do not disturb Miss Kato." The leading police officer said to Lin Hezhen with a serious face.

"I am her husband, I have something to say to her, please let me go!"

"Sir, please do not interfere with our work, otherwise we will arrest you according to relevant procedures," a policeman warned.

Lin Hezhen glared at them angrily: "Damn it, why are you detaining my wife?"

"Because she admitted that she committed murder." The other party said coldly.

"No, that's not true!" Lin Hezhen immediately retorted, "How could my wife kill someone? She is very kind and would never hurt Eriri and the others!"

"Then please explain why there are her fingerprints on the murder weapon? If she is innocent, why would she plead guilty?" the other party asked.

"That's because... because..." Lin Hezhen was speechless. If he knew the reason, he would have found out the real culprit long ago.

The policeman with a mustache patted his shoulder and advised: "Calm down, find a good lawyer to defend Ms. Kato Megumi, maybe things will turn around. You don't want her to be wronged, right?"

Lin Hezhen managed to calm down. He nodded and said, "Thanks for the reminder. I understand."

So the police turned around and left with Kato Megumi.

Lin Hezhen stood there blankly, looking at Kato Megumi's receding back, feeling very complicated.

She never looked at Lin Hezhen again from beginning to end, and the ring finger on her left hand, which always wore a wedding ring, was now empty.

She seemed to be recalling some beautiful past events, her eyes were full of happy smiles, but hidden within was a trace of pain and sorrow. The contradictory feelings intertwined on her face, making her delicate appearance even more broken.

A crystal clear teardrop quietly slid down and dripped onto the floor.

Only then did Lin Hezhen realize how cold this world was. He had actually lost the girl he loved most invisibly.

How did Kato Megumi feel when she admitted to the crime of murder? And how did she feel when she decided to return the wedding ring to herself?

Lin He really didn't understand.

But he knew one thing, that is, Kato Megumi was no longer willing to be his wife.

"Oh..." Lin Hezhen sighed, feeling a deep sense of loss in his heart.

Why did she become like this?

Why did you abandon him so cruelly?
