Chapter 62: Equally Matched
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“This name is too close and it can only be my boyfriend’s patent!” Lu Jia’er looked into Jin Xiangdong’s eyes, but her white cheeks were tinged pink, just like the color of a beautiful peach flower.
“Aren’t you chasing me?” Jin Xiangdong said so as if he was her future boyfriend, and that this patent was as easy as winking.
“Well, I will try to turn this into reality!” Lu Jia’er was defeated again, flirting with the incomparably scheming Jin Xiangdong.
“Come on!” Jin Xiangdong lifted his lips with an evident smile. He picked up the coffee cup again with the slender fingers and took a sip of it gracefully.
Lu Jia’er also smiled. It is universally acknowledged the most beautiful love is that the person you like also likes you and you love each other. Even if the two sitting face to face at this moment had not finalized a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, the desire for love had already grown in each other’s heart.
Lu Jia’er liked this feeling. She says that she will chase him. He has set no barriers. They “flirt with each other” and are equally matched.
It was at 2:30 in the afternoon at the Provincial Public Security Bureau.
Lu Jia’er took a light blue shoulder bag and walked in a pair of five-centimeter high-heeled shoes toward the deputy director’s office. Her footsteps echoed in the long corridor.
At the door of the office, Lu Jia’er knocked on the door.
The person sitting inside heard the sound and looked up at the door and Lu Jia’er went in. “h.e.l.lo, Director Li, I am Lu Jia’er, Director He Tao has asked me to come!”
“Professor Lu, please sit down!” Director Li got up and greeted her with a smile.
Lu Jia’er smiled faintly and then sat down with the Deputy Director Li on the sofa of the meeting area. After a few greetings, Lu Jia’er said straightforwardly, “Director He says that there is a case that I have to a.s.sist with. I want to know what the specific case is!”
“Murder and cutting up of the body!” Deputy Director Li said.
“Can you tell me the specific content of the case?” Lu Jia’er said.
“Yes! Two 17-year-old high school girls killed their adoptive father and dismembered the body at home. Both of them pleaded guilty, but both pleaded innocent for the other party. This is a transcript for the case, please have a look at it!” Deputy Director Li talked briefly about the case as he got up and went to the desk and fetched the doc.u.ment so he could hand it to Lu Jia’er.
After Lu Jia’er heard the description, it occurred to her that she had heard of this case from Su Han. This incident became popular on social platforms half a month ago. A foster father raped one of the twins, a minor, who defended herself and killed him. After that, she dismembered the body and threw it away. Netizens believe that the father was an animal and should not be forgiven even if he was dismembered and turned into meat residue. However, in the eyes of the law, murder is a crime and punishment will go to the murderer.
Lu Jia’er lowered her head and browsed through transcript of the case. After about ten minutes she finished reading the detailed confession from both the twins before she had learned more about the tragic case and the darkness and horror of humanity.
“Is it impossible to convict either one of them right now?” Lu Jia’er looked up at Deputy Director Li after a while.
“Yes, we have used a variety of interrogation methods at the bureau, but their confessions have remained unchanged. This case has been widely spread on the media, so we have to be meticulous about the handling of this case in the bureau!” Deputy Director Li said.
It is necessary to be cautious about any case, because it is not only a case, but also a turning point in one’s life.
