Even though Qin Huairu's scheme ultimately failed, she still faced severe punishment.
At this point, outright denial was impossible. The only way to save herself was to shift the blame.
"Officers, I've been wronged!"
"The mastermind of this case is Wu Da Tou. I'm actually a victim!"
"Wu Da Tou forced me. I'm innocent!"
Wu Da Tou was instantly furious: "Qin Huairu, what nonsense are you spouting here?"
"You were the one who said you wanted revenge on Liu Kai Xuan and asked me to help you!"
"You hired the assassin, the assassin was Hei Lao Shu, and I was at most an intermediary!"
At the same time, Hei Lao Shu chimed in: "That's right, officers. Qin Huairu is the mastermind of this case!"
"Wu Da Tou and I were both doing her bidding!"
Qin Huairu began to viciously bite back: "You scoundrel, what are you talking about?"
"I don't even know you, and you're slandering me like this?"
Hei Lao Shu retorted, not to be outdone: "Qin Huairu, stop playing dumb with me!"
"You're the main culprit. I was tricked by you into doing this!"
"Qin Huairu, you are too sinister. You should be shot!"
"You two beasts should be shot, not me! I'm innocent!"
"Hold on, hold on, both of you, stop arguing. Let me say something!"
Seeing Qin Huairu and Hei Lao Shu escalating their argument, Wu Lin Kuan quickly intervened.
Then Wu Lin Kuan continued: "Now I'll ask, and you answer!"
"Hei Lao Shu, you first. Do you have any grievances with Liu Kai Xuan?"
"I don't know Liu Kai Xuan at all!"
Hei Lao Shu replied earnestly: "I only did this to make a living!"
"Good!"
Wu Lin Kuan then turned his attention to Wu Da Tou: "Wu Da Tou, you tell me. Do you have any grievances with Liu Kai Xuan?"
Wu Da Tou replied without hesitation: "I'm not familiar with Liu Kai Xuan. It was Qin Huairu who forced me to do it!"
"Officers, Qin Huairu hired the assassin, and Hei Lao Shu administered the poison!"
"Moreover, when Qin Huairu asked us to poison him, she only said to give Liu Kai Xuan a laxative, to teach him a lesson!"
"Who would have thought that this woman's heart was so vicious that she would directly administer a fatal poison. Sigh..."
"Alright, less nonsense, more useful information!"
Wu Lin Kuan said righteously: "Wu Da Tou, your fickleness really needs to be corrected!"
"When we were investigating earlier, Hei Lao Shu said he gave Liu Kai Xuan a laxative!"
"He didn't know the drug in the pouch was poison, but you, Wu Da Tou, didn't deny this!"
"Now you want to go back on your word. How can I believe you?"
"I..." Wu Da Tou's face instantly turned red and hot.
Wu Lin Kuan didn't give him a chance to hesitate and sternly raised his voice: "That's enough, Wu Da Tou!"
"I'm advising you now, your only way out is to tell the truth!"
"Only by speaking the truth can we treat you leniently!"
"Otherwise, if this case is thoroughly investigated, you know the consequences without me saying them!"
"I..." Wu Da Tou wasn't stupid, of course he understood Wu Lin Kuan's words.
If the case was handled strictly, the actions of Wu Da Tou and Qin Huairu could be considered attempted murder.
Qin Huairu wanted to shift the primary responsibility to Wu Da Tou.
Conversely, Wu Da Tou had the same idea now.
Counting on Wu Da Tou to take responsibility for Qin Huairu? That would happen in the next life...
After a long pause, Wu Da Tou continued: "Officer, please listen to my explanation!"
"I was too nervous before, and my words were thoughtless!"
"I admit, it was my mistake, but I remember very clearly, Qin Huairu gave me a laxative!"
"Think about it, I have no enmity with Liu Kai Xuan!"
"Why would I want to kill him?"
"Administering poison to kill someone is equivalent to killing their entire family!"
"It must be an irreconcilable hatred to do something like that!"
"And, I need to confess..."
At that time, Qin Huairu told me to help her with this matter while we were drinking.
"I had drunk a lot at the time, and it was only under the influence of alcohol that I agreed to help Qin Huairu administer the laxative!"
"Otherwise, how would I dare to do such an illegal and criminal thing?"
"Now I am willing to act as an informant, and I have two things to report!"
"Oh?" Wu Lin Kuan frowned and nodded: "Go on!"
Wu Da Tou said solemnly: "The first thing is, I can testify that Qin Huairu and Liu Kai Xuan have a deep hatred for each other!"
"Qin Huairu told me many times that Bang Geng's two imprisonments were all due to Liu Kai Xuan framing him!"
"It was Liu Kai Xuan who ruined Bang Geng's life, and she must get revenge for this deep hatred!"
"The second thing I want to report is: Qin Huairu and I did have a certain romantic relationship."
"But my brothers can testify that Qin Huairu seduced me for money!"
"Later, Qin Huairu used this matter as blackmail, forcing me to harm Liu Kai Xuan!"
"If I didn't do as she said, she would accuse me of raping her!"
"Officers, I was truly forced!"
"I know my actions weren't entirely appropriate, but... Qin Huairu is the truly wicked one!"
"Hmm!" Wu Lin Kuan nodded: "The two points you've raised are very useful!"
"Wu Da Tou, you need to provide some valuable evidence to prove that everything you've said is true!"
It must be said that Wu Da Tou, this guy, was indeed an old hand.
His defense tactics were truly professional. With this series of maneuvers, he managed to shift the main responsibility entirely onto Qin Huairu.
While slandering others, he also tried to portray himself as a pitiable figure.
This made Qin Huairu want to strangle this shameless wretch.
However, this was still the police station, so Qin Huairu dared not act recklessly.
Although Qin Huairu didn't have as many "tricks" as Wu Da Tou, she had her own "playing the victim" buff!
With a little effort, she could immediately burst into tears. Now was the perfect time for her to play the victim and complain!
"Officers, I've been wronged! You must uphold justice for us, a widow and her child..."
