In the interrogation room, Cui Linlin was wearing an orange prison jumpsuit,her hands shackled in handcuffs, and she was sitting on an alloy chair fixed to the floor.
A thick alloy plate was locked between the armrests of the chair. If the alloy plate"s lock was not opened, the person on the chair couldn"t stand up at all.
This was the treatment of criminals with a strong tendency to attack people.
Su Yutan sat across Cui Linlin, a large alloy table in between them.
Yue Yueming sat beside her and served as her bodyguard.
In an observation room separated by a one way-bulletproof gla.s.s wall of the interrogation room, Avril stood behind the single-sided gla.s.s and glared at Cui Linlin.
Two police officers handling the case stood by her side. One was sitting beside her, listening to the audio and recording a video of the interrogation room.
“I never thought that I would be planted in the hands of a woman like you who can"t help herself.” After looking at Su Yutan for a moment, Cui Linlin spoke first.
“Life is always full of surprises, and you"ll slowly get used to it.” Su Yutan said with a smile.
“If I didn"t get drunk that day, I could"ve killed you a hundred times with one hand, believe it or not,” Cui Linlin"s tone was full of disdain.
“Unfortunately there"s no ‘ifs" in life. You did get drunk that day, and you are now held here today. It may be a bit cruel to you, but it is the truth.”
“Do you know why I want to see you?” Cui Linlin coldly asked.
Su Yutan smiled slightly, and said with irony, “You want to thank me for saving your son?”
Cui Linlin"s forehead wrinkled, “I want to tell you something else.”
Su Yutan kept smiling, teasing her, “You shouldn"t tell me your last words! I won"t help you collect the body.”
Cui Linlin got angry again, but she took a deep breath and suppressed the anger.
“Two years ago, your friend Avril got kidnapped and was trafficked by human traffickers. I ordered them to do it,” Cui Linlin proudly smiled.
Su Yutan looked at her indifferently, smirking, “Sister, don"t put gold on your face*, that"s a trafficker, what"s it got to do with you?”
In the observation room, Avril burst into tears. She could only cover her mouth desperately, preventing herself from crying, and keeping her last thread of dignity.
The police around her looked at her with pity.
In the interrogation room, Cui Linlin added, “I am the one behind it all. Avril dared to take my man from me. So I naturally made her pay the worst price!”
Su Yutan said scornfully, “Why did you instruct those traffickers? Your men said that you didn"t allowed them to be involved in human trafficking business. What have you got to do with those human traffickers?”
Cui Linlin pursed her lips and didn"t immediately answer, her face showed hesitation.
Su Yutan sneered slightly, “Why won"t you answer? Can"t make up a story?”
“Is your brain empty? I confessed my crimes, but you are relieving me of it!” Cui Linlin laughed.
“I"m not relieving you of it. I"m refusing to fall into your trap. You thought you would just say something casually and I"ll help you break up Avril and Dr. Qiao? Stop dreaming!”
Cui Linlin wanted to break up Avril Lavigne and Dr. Qiao, so she had to pay the price!
However there was no evidence pointing to Cui Linlin about the abduction of Avril two years ago.
The court would not easily convict her just because of what she had said, let alone the fact that she could also withdraw her confession in court.
In order for Cui Linlin to be punished by law, she must have sufficient physical evidence.
Now, only Cui Linlin herself was the most likely to come up with physical evidence if Su Yutan managed to make her reveal any clues and other evidence.
Su Yutan said those words in order to persuade Cui Linlin to make a choice: either show evidence to prove her guilt, or to listen to Su Yutan protecting and boasting about Avril and Dr. Qiao"s relationship.
She did this to help Avril take revenge against Cui Linlin a little.
Su Yutan felt that Cui Linlin would choose to confess.
Because Cui Linlin was now carrying countless heavy crimes, admitting one more charge of kidnapping and forcing X was nothing more than breaking a jar.*
“You are deceiving yourself!” Cui Linlin said with gritted teeth.
Su Yutan admitted happily, “What about self-deception? As long as Dr. Qiao and Avril are happy in life, this is nothing.”
“Can"t Avril guess the truth?”
“She might be able to guess, but I"m sure she can convince her not to think wildly. Maybe there will be some twists and turns! But in the end, she will marry Dr. Qiao and they will be happy together.”
“Don"t you think it"s okay to watch her as Arnold"s stepmom?”
“I"m not Avril. What should I do? Besides, a stepmother has thousands of ways to do it, right?” Su Yutan said with a sneer.
Cui Linlin stared at her with an unpredictable look.
After a while, she suddenly said, “I helped the traffickers launder money, so I have always been in close contact with them…”
She began to explain her connection with the human traffickers, provided accounts and other evidence on a network disk.
For Avril, she also provided detailed evidence to prove that it was indeed her who ordered it.
She persuaded the traffickers to do it at the expense of their money laundering fee.
She talked about the business process and the live broadcast of those traffickers who s.e.xually violated Avril, which was completely recorded by Cui Linlin.
Later, Cui Linlin organized and edited the relevant videos and added them in an encrypted network disk. She often played them to take a look, and get the pleasure of revenge.
After the confession, Cui Linlin laughed wildly and said to Su Yutan, “I will admit these things in court. Don"t try to hide it from her. She and Qiao Dongfeng will never pa.s.s this hurdle! “
After laughing, she added a gloomy expression, “I don"t want anyone to have something I couldn"t get!”
Su Yutan ignored her words, and finally asked, “Since you are willing to help traffickers launder money, why did you not get directly involved in the human trafficking business? Wouldn"t it be more pleasant to tie her and sell her in person?”
Cui Linlin smiled wickedly, “Aren"t you smart? Can"t you guess?”
As soon as Su Yutan heard what she said, she knew it was impossible to get more answers today. She got up and left.
Her mission was completed. Whether they could pull out more testimonies from Cui Linlin depended on the police"s ability.
She came out of the interrogation room, and Avril was no longer in the observation room, but was sitting in the hallway, covering her tears-ladened face.
Su Yutan sat silently beside her and took her into her arms.
After crying, Avril and Su Yutan walked out of the police station and went to the disk parking s.p.a.ce.
“Can I live in your house for a few days? I want to be at peace, and I don"t want my parents to see me like this.” Avril looked lost with a blank expression.
Su Yutan nodded gently, “Okay!”
After getting on the flying saucer, Avril called her mother and stated that she would stay at Su Yutan"s house for a few days.
The reason she used was: Su Yutan was abducted yesterday. Su Yutan was terrified and needed someone to accompany her.
Her mother didn"t doubt her words at all, she agreed, and asked if she could come to visit Su Yutan.
Avril refused her mother"s kindness on the grounds that Su Yutan needed to rest.
