"Murderer? Accomplice? What are you talking about? I don't understand!"
"I'm warning you, let me go quickly! Your arbitrary accusations are very low-level, and you will be punished!"
The man in glasses said with a look of confusion and extreme anger.
Old Liao, with a hint of mockery on his face, temporarily stopped the officers from arresting the man in glasses and then brought the video he was holding in front of the man.
"Framing? I'm sorry, our Dragon Country has always valued concrete evidence and ironclad proof! Whether it's framing or not, take a look for yourself!"
The man in glasses looked at the video suspiciously.
He had barely watched for ten seconds before his expression changed drastically.
After watching the entire video and seeing Wein's face revealed at the end, his face turned ashen, as if he had lost his parents.
His previous arrogance vanished instantly!
He could no longer stubbornly talk about "reporting" or "exposing" things!
Seeing the man in glasses' spirit completely broken, Old Liao laughed triumphantly.
He then waved his hand: "Take him away! Start the interrogation immediately! Make sure to thoroughly question all the details of their group's operation!"
"Yes!"
Soon, the man in glasses was taken away.
The team leader in charge of Min Ziqiong's case looked at Old Liao and said, "The warehouse in the video is the same one where the fire occurred. The deceased in the video can also be basically confirmed to be those twenty-odd homeless people. This means that our two cases are actually the same case, and that fire might have been a murder to silence witnesses and destroy evidence!"
"Agreed!" Old Liao nodded. "I'll report this to my superiors now and apply for them to be merged."
"Yes, there's no time to delay. This video has already gone viral online, creating significant public opinion. We'd best issue a public notice first thing tomorrow to appease public sentiment, otherwise, we'll appear incompetent and further inflame public emotions..."
"However, before that, I have one important thing to do. I'll leave the matter of merging the cases and issuing the notice to you."
After the team leader finished speaking, he turned and left.
Old Liao was left looking at the team leader with surprise, shouting after his retreating figure, "Is there anything more important than this case? Don't tell me your wife is about to give birth?"
The team leader didn't turn back, but cursed with a laugh, "Get lost! Your wife is the one about to give birth! I've been working like a dog for the past six months, no time for intimacy..."
"Ew, then you should be careful. Otherwise, if your wife really gives birth someday, you'll be the fool!"
"Get lost, get lost..." The team leader waved his hand impatiently and disappeared around the corner of the corridor.
The team leader, who claimed to have something important to do, did not leave the office building or enter any major crime room. Instead, he walked directly into the office where Min Ziqiong was being detained!
Another person accompanied him.
It was the young investigator who had vehemently accused Min Ziqiong during her previous interrogation.
Inside the office, Min Ziqiong saw the two of them returning.
Her face was filled with coldness and mockery: "I advise you two not to waste your efforts. Instead of focusing your energy on me, you should go out and find more clues. Even if you can find clues that I am the murderer."
"In short, no matter what you ask, my answer will remain the same—it has nothing to do with me!"
If it were before, if the two of them had heard Min Ziqiong's uncooperative words, they would have been furious.
But now, a hint of guilt appeared on their faces.
After a long pause, the team leader spoke first, "I'm sorry, Miss Min, we wrongly accused you. We shouldn't have jumped to conclusions, and we shouldn't have assumed you were the murderer without sufficient evidence. We offer you our sincerest apologies!"
After speaking, the team leader bowed towards Min Ziqiong.
The young investigator then said, "Miss Min, I apologize for my impulsive remarks. You are a hero, and you have endured too much hardship and injustice. We were almost played by the real culprits, and we almost crushed a national entrepreneur and a national product."
"I'm sorry!"
The young investigator also bowed towards Min Ziqiong.
Their sudden change in attitude, from arrogant to apologetic, completely bewildered Min Ziqiong.
Min Ziqiong quickly got up and helped them up: "Can you two please tell me what happened? Why has your attitude suddenly changed? Have you caught the real killer?"
The team leader shook his head: "No, and we probably never will."
Min Ziqiong couldn't help but ask, "Since you haven't caught them, why are you doing this?"
"The reason we will never catch the real killer is because—the real killer is already dead! Buried in a fire! All witness and physical evidence has been destroyed! However, a video has been leaked, documenting the entire process of the killer's murder and framing!"
"Therefore, Miss Min, you are innocent. The so-called human experiments are pure fabrication, and the murderer is a baseless accusation."
"We apologize to you again!"
The team leader and the young investigator bowed and apologized once more.
Min Ziqiong was stunned for a moment, and then she understood: it must have been Ying Chen who made the move!
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the killer to be silenced and a video to be leaked.
It was one hundred percent certain that Ying Chen had cleared out the killer's lair with thunderous methods and obtained the crucial evidence!
With these thoughts in mind, Min Ziqiong's smile bloomed, and she sighed in relief.
She reached out and shook the team leader's hand.
"There's no need to apologize. If I were in the same position, I would have done the same things. After all, I was the prime suspect."
"I also want to thank you two for clearing my name and finding the key evidence so quickly. I almost thought I'd become a hard-core criminal and be locked up for months!"
The team leader carefully shook Min Ziqiong's hand, then withdrew it, and said with an awkward smile, "Miss Min, your magnanimity is truly admirable. I wish Miss Min's 'Shenjing' great success and for it to become a world-class life science product!"
Min Ziqiong shook her head: "No, 'Shenjing' is already a world-class life science product."
"Oh, look at my mouth, I can't speak properly! Yes, yes, 'Shenjing' is already a first-class product, otherwise, a giant company like Eden Garden Laboratories wouldn't have targeted 'Shenjing' specifically and tried every means to destroy it."
"Then shall I arrange a car to take Miss Min home?"
Min Ziqiong's eyes flickered: "Eden Garden Laboratories?"
The next second, she waved her hand: "No need. I'll take a taxi myself. Otherwise, if people see me going home in a police car, it will cause a stir across the city tomorrow."
The team leader scratched his head embarrassedly: "It won't be that bad, it won't be that bad. We are already drafting a public notice, and it will be released first thing tomorrow. Miss Min's injustice will be cleared up soon..."
What the team leader didn't know was that even without their public notice, the entire internet was already filled with people crying out for Min Ziqiong's innocence.
Even those who had been the harshest in their words before, vowing to torture Min Ziqiong, had now changed their tune and were vociferously supporting her.
Min Ziqiong, with a single turn, transformed from a notorious, wicked woman into someone like Dou E, who suffered immense injustice for her country and her people.
