Chapter 215: Chapter 215 I Want to Hire a Defense Lawyer
She was the only one unscathed, thus she was the most suspicious.

Qin Youxuan was led away in a daze.

The incandescent light was very bright.

It shone ceaselessly, day and night, inducing an involuntary shudder.

Qin Youxuan never knew that a police station could be so terrifying.

Jin Lan fell down the stairs, the impact injuring her brain, leaving her in a vegetative state as determined by the doctors.

Meng Ziqi was stabbed in the back, piercing a lobe of her lung. Her life was narrowly saved by timely medical intervention, but she remain unconscious, still in critical condition, unable to be questioned.

In this accident, only she had been unharmed.

“Miss Qin, shoe prints were discovered on the knee of the first victim, and it has been confirmed that this victim’s knee was hit hard prior to falling down the stairs. Did she fall down because you kicked her?”

The first victim referred to was Jin Lan.

The interrogator’s cold voice pierced Qin Youxuan’s ears like a needle, the constant questioning leaving her exhausted.

“I said I didn’t do it, yes, I did kick Jin Lan’s knee, but she didn’t fall at that time. She fell down the stairs because she became overly frightened after injuring someone and accidentally lost her footing…”

Despite repeating these words many times, no one believed Qin Youxuan.

“You claim that after the first victim injured another person, she then fell down the stairs. Then how do you explain that only your fingerprints are on the knife handle found in the second victim?”

“I was too anxious at the time, I was afraid the knife would penetrate deeper. Seeing that Ziqi was losing too much blood, I held onto the knife handle…”

She never imagined that her innocent act of trying to save someone could turn into incriminating evidence of murder.

The victim should have been her, yet she was the one being treated as the criminal suspect.

She was left speechless.

“So you’re saying the first victim, after stabbing the second victim, got so startled that she lost her footing and fell down the stairs?”

“Yes.” At least that question made sense.

“You’re lying!” The interrogator suddenly stood up from his chair, arms braced on the table, his leaning body imposing enormous pressure on Qin Youxuan.

The interrogator threw a stack of documents in front of Qin Youxuan, his voice intimidating.

“According to the information gathered, the relationship between the two victims was harmonious. The first victim had no motive for committing a crime. In contrast, you, Miss Qin, have always been at odds with your stepmother, all the servants in the Qin family can testify to that.”

“Miss Qin, you have just acquired the inheritance rights to the Qin Group. Were you afraid that the Meng family’s involvement would jeopardize your inheritance, so you decided to take out the two victims!”

“No! I didn’t! You’re making it up! I’m not the killer! I want a defense attorney, I want legal aid!” Qin Youxuan stood up dramatically from her chair, the handcuffs on her wrist striking the edge of the table with a clear sound.

“You’ll get to see your defense attorney, but once the second victim wakes up, your denials will be futile.” The interrogator left the room after dropping these harsh words and gathering his documents.

Left alone, Qin Youxuan stared at the glaring bulb, her vision blurring.

Her lips turned white.

She hoped more than anyone else that Meng Ziqi would be okay. As long as Meng Ziqi was safe, everyone would know that Jin Lan was the one who hurt her.

It was Jin Lan who stabbed Meng Ziqi then fell down the stairs herself. It had nothing to do with her…

“You have to believe in the law, believe that evil cannot triumph over good… The truth will surface soon, Qin Youxuan, you must not be afraid…”
