Chapter 4 — On Divorce, Ex-Husband's Bnq Passed Away

I leaned forward, lowering my voice. "Investigate Co Ngon. Investigate where he really is this afternoon. Don't believe the meaningless words of him and his secretary. Check his car's GPS, look up the phone's broadcast station location data." Truong Chinh frowned, clearly considering my words. "Why should I believe a suspect?" "Because I want to find the culprit more than you." Every word I said was clear and sharp. "Also, The clues I provided, you can easily verify. If they are fabricated, it will only make me more suspicious - it will not benefit me at all." Truong Chinh was silent for a long time. In the interrogation room, there was only the sound of the clock ticking. "To Yen." He suddenly opened his mouth. "You seem to understand your ex-husband very well." "After all, we were married for three years." "You don't seem to be sad because that marriage ended." "Captain Truong, are we discussing the case now, or are you assessing my psychology?" I interrupted. "If you are really curious about my emotional state, after the case is over, I can sit down and talk properly as an expert. But for now, I hope you focus on finding the killer." My tone was not polite at all. A trace of unhappiness flashed across Truong Chinh's face, but he did not get angry. He stood up and walked out the door. "We will investigate what you provided." Before leaving, he turned to look at me once. "But before the results come out, you are still the number one suspect in this case." The door closed. I just breathed a sigh of relief, my whole body seemed to have been drained of strength. I know, I just made a big bet. I bet Truong Chinh is an upright police officer who pursues the truth, not bowing to pressure. I bet Gu Yan's lies wouldn't survive the most basic modern investigative methods. Now, I can only wait. Waiting for the results of Truong Chinh's investigation. Waiting for the final bell that Co Ngon himself rang for himself. I deliberately created a seemingly perfect alibi, but there was a loophole. The cafe I went to didn't have a camera. I chose that place on purpose. I knew that would make the police suspicious of me. But at the same time, it also gave me the opportunity to observe how they would react under pressure. Now, I kicked the ball into Co Ngon's court. If he was smart enough, he should have destroyed all evidence immediately. But he won't do that. Because he was arrogant, looked down on me, thought he had everything in his hands. Co Ngon, your biggest mistake... was underestimating the determination of a woman whom you cornered.5I was detained in the detention room for twenty-four hours. There are no windows, only one light that is always on and never goes out. Time here becomes hazy. I don't know what happened outside. But I didn't panic. I continuously replayed the crime in my head, reconstructing the psychological profile of the perpetrator. The perpetrator is male and has a close relationship with the victim. Physical strength is superior to hers. Conceited personality, likes to control, good at hiding. After committing the crime, he had enough time to clean up and disguise the scene. He deliberately blamed someone else — someone he thought had enough motive and was easiest to defeat. All of those characteristics... point towards Co Ngon. What I need to do is find the sharpest knife to penetrate his perfect disguise. Twenty-four hours later, the detention room door opened. Entering was Ly Tinh, followed by Truong Chinh. Ly Tinh's expression was very complicated - both relieved and surprised. As for Truong Chinh, it was as dark as a dark cloud. "To Yen, you can go now." Truong Chinh said. "We have found a

number of new clues.” The rock in my heart finally fell. I bet correctly. “What clue is that?” I asked. "Co Ngon lied." Ly Tinh replied, unable to hide the excitement in his voice. "We looked up his car's GPS location. This afternoon at two thirty-seven, his car left the company parking garage, the destination was the villa in the southern area. He stayed there for fifty-two minutes. Meanwhile, before that, he confirmed that he was in a meeting at the company all afternoon. "Fifty-two minutes. Enough for a lot of things to happen. "How did he explain?" "He said he went back to get urgent documents. He left in such a hurry that he forgot to tell the secretary." Truong Chinh's voice clearly showed doubt. "He insisted that he didn't meet Lam Uyen Uyen, just took the documents and left." "He lied." I replied without hesitation. "His car stopped right in front of the villa, Lam Uyen Uyen's car was also parked nearby. It's impossible not to see it.” “We thought so too.” Truong Chinh said, "Therefore, we are expanding the investigation." He glanced at me, as if wondering whether to continue speaking. "Captain Truong, I am no longer a suspect, right?" I looked straight at him. "I am the person directly involved, with the right to know the progress of the case." Truong Chinh was silent for a moment, then nodded. "We have investigated Lam Uyen Uyen's social relationships and contact history. Found out that she has been in frequent contact with someone recently." "Who?" "Vuong Hao." Ly Tinh was the one to answer. My heart sank again. Vuong Hao. Co Ngon's biggest rival in the business world. "What is their relationship?" "We are still investigating. But in Lam Uyen Uyen's bank account, a transfer of five hundred thousand was discovered. The person transferring is an overseas account, and that account... is related to Vuong Hao's company. "Five hundred thousand. Lam Uyen Uyen is just a piano teacher, where did she get such a large amount of money? The answer is almost clear. "She sold out Co Ngon." I said. Truong Chinh and Ly Tinh looked at each other, surprise in both of their eyes. "We also suspected the same." Truong Chinh replied. “It is very possible that Lam Uyen Uyen held some trade secrets of Co Ngon company, then sold them to Vuong Hao. Or worse... use those secrets to threaten Co Ngon." A completely new motive for the crime gradually emerged. It was no longer me - the abandoned woman - born of hatred because of love. But Co Ngon - out of shame, turned to anger, killing people to exterminate people. "So that day, Lam Uyen Uyen came to the villa to confront Co Ngon." I followed that clue, quickly building up a new story line. "She brought evidence to threaten him, the two had an argument. rush. Co Ngon accidentally killed her, then created a fake crime scene, blaming me." This chain of logic is much clearer and more coherent than the initial speculations. "Right now it's just speculation." Truong Chinh said. “We still haven't found direct evidence.” “The evidence is on Co Ngon's body.” I replied. “Get a search warrant. Search his company, home and all electronic devices. I'm sure I will find what Lam Uyen Uyen used to threaten him. Or at least, there will be traces of him trying to destroy evidence." "We will do that." Truong Chinh stood up. "To Yen, thank you for your cooperation. You can go through the formalities to leave here. But before the case is over, please don't leave the city." I nodded. Stepping out of the police station, the bright sunlight shone straight into my eyes. I squinted slightly, taking a deep breath of the air of freedom. A black Bentley parked on the sidewalk. The car window rolled down, revealing Co Ngon's gloomy face. He was clearly waiting for me. I didn't care, I walked straight ahead. He pushed the car door again, took a few steps to rush in front of me.

my face. On his body, there was no trace of sadness left - only anger and panic when exposed. "To Yen, what did you say to the police?" He asked through gritted teeth. "You deliberately led them towards me! You wanted to destroy me, right?!"
