Chapter 6 — Guide to Judgment

The camera resolution that year was very low, the images were extremely vague. But Truong Sieu locked himself in the technical room for two days and two nights, without sleep or rest, using the most advanced image enhancement and comparison techniques, analyzing each frame. Finally, at a vague image at an intersection, he discovered a car with a brand, model and color very similar to Ly Tinh's car. Although the license plate cannot be seen clearly, this is a huge breakthrough. "Enough!" Team leader Giang looked at Truong Sieu with bloodshot eyes, excited spirit, and used force to hit the table: "Immediately request permission to conduct a raid interrogation of Ly Tinh!" The scales of justice, after three years, are finally starting to tilt downward. 9 In the interrogation room, Ly Tinh sat in a chair, his hands placed on the table, his expression still maintaining calm and elegance. "Police officers, I said everything I should have said. That night I just went out to relieve myself." She looked like a harmless sheep. Captain Giang placed the vague surveillance camera photo in front of her. “For fun, why do you go all the way to the riverbank where the body was dumped?” Ly Tinh's face finally changed the moment he saw the photo. The perfect camouflage begins to show cracks. “I don't know what you're talking about.” She still tried to deny it. I pushed the door and walked in. Everyone looked towards me. I didn't pay attention to anyone, walked straight in front of Ly Tinh, and gently placed the peach wood comb that belonged to Tran Tuyet on the table. “You've met this girl before, right?” I asked softly. The moment Ly Tinh's eyes touched the wooden comb, her body shook violently, her pupils constricted violently. That was the reaction to being stabbed with the deepest fear in the heart. “She worshiped her husband very much, considered him a god.” “She even gave him her engagement ring, just to prove how pure the devotion was.” “And you discovered that ring and that painting.” Every time I said a word, Ly Tinh's face turned a little whiter. “She believed that her husband was having an affair, claiming that her perfect family and love had been tainted by a young female student.” “Jealousy has consumed her reason.” "So, the night of the incident, you used Ngo Han's name to invite Tran Tuyet to the riverbank, right?" Ly Tinh's psychological defense completely collapsed under the double impact of my words and that wooden comb. She suddenly bowed her head, covered her face with both hands, her shoulders shaking violently. The cry that had been suppressed for three years finally escaped from between his fingers. “I didn't mean it… I really didn't mean it!” She cried without a sound. She intermittently confessed everything. That night, she invited Tran Tuyet to the riverbank, initially just wanting to insult her, warn her, and force her to stay away from her husband. But Tran Tuyet was young and hot-tempered. In her words, she always protected Ngo Han and looked down on her. The two women argued and fought violently. During the chaos, Ly Tinh lost her reason in anger. She used a silk scarf around her neck to strangle Tran Tuyet until she could no longer move. When she discovered that Tran Tuyet had stopped breathing, she completely panicked. In terror, she pushed her body into the cold river. In order to disguise the murder scene and hide her identity, she made an even more cruel decision. She used the paper knife she carried with her, cut off Tran Tuyet's head, and drove to a far away wasteland to dispose of it. And the ring that led to this whole tragedy was taken by her and thrown into the city's underground sewer system. As for Ngo Han, that night he indeed left the party early. He was uneasy about the student with unusual emotions and wanted to go find her, talk to her, and return the ring. But he couldn't find anyone. When he returned home, he saw his wife absent-minded and there were blood stains in the car. After questioning, he learned this horrifying truth. For his reputation, for his seemingly happy family, he chose to cover up. He calmly helped his wife

clean up the tracks, and create the perfect alibi for her. The truth is completely revealed. The person who died was his wife, Ly Tinh. And the highly respected artist Ngo Han is an accomplice, the executioner. His silence and cover-up were even colder and more sinful than Ly Tinh's impulsive murder. 10 The case was solved, the entire criminal investigation team was excited. Captain Giang specially approved the budget and held a celebration party at a restaurant near the police station. During the party, everyone raised their glasses continuously, everyone was happy. My colleagues who once looked at me with suspicion and rejection now all held glasses of wine and came to respect me one after another. “Adviser Lam, I have no eyes to see Thai Son, Mr. Vuong, I will punish myself three times!” "Little sister Lam To, you are truly magical! From now on you are my idol!" I just smiled, gently sipping the juice in the glass. The excitement belongs to them, I cannot blend in.
