In this era of information overload and restless hearts, the bustling facade of the city conceals countless unknown secrets and desires.
The police, along with Lin Li, decisively pointed their suspicions towards Lu Chen based on new leads.
They delved into Lu Chen's financial situation and discovered that his hotel had been struggling recently, facing immense economic pressure.
Bank collection notices flooded in like snowflakes, and warning letters from partners piled up on his desk. These pieces of evidence unequivocally indicated that Lu Chen was deeply entrenched in severe financial difficulties.
Meanwhile, they also uncovered that his sister, Lin Yao, had demanded a hefty breakup fee from him, which undoubtedly provided him with a strong motive for the crime.
Lin Li recalled Lu Chen's previous behaviors; those seemingly casual remarks and glances now appeared to be laden with suspicion.
During their first meeting, although he feigned deep sorrow, he subtly revealed an undeniable resentment when discussing his past with Lin Yao.
Moreover, he seemed to overly emphasize the relationship between Lin Yao and her boss, repeatedly mentioning it as if he were deliberately steering the police investigation in a particular direction.
Lin Li and Zhao Gang meticulously analyzed Lu Chen's statements again and found numerous logical inconsistencies and vague areas.
For instance, while his account of his whereabouts on the night of the incident seemed complete at first glance, it lacked strong witness corroboration at crucial time points, resembling a seemingly sturdy building with an unstable foundation.
These doubts further convinced them that Lu Chen was intricately connected to his sister's death, and the truth seemed tantalizingly close—only a key piece of evidence stood between them and its full revelation.
Lin Li decided to confront Lu Chen alone at the hotel once more. She felt that only by taking this desperate gamble could she force him to reveal the truth.
Lu Chen received her in the luxurious VIP suite of the hotel.
The suite was dimly lit, and the oppressive atmosphere made it hard to breathe, as if it were a dark corner isolated from the world. Heavy curtains blocked out most of the sunlight, allowing only a few faint rays to struggle through the gaps, adding an eerie touch to the sinister environment.
As Lin Li gradually revealed his crimes, Lu Chen's expression instantly darkened, becoming terrifying like storm clouds before a tempest. His eyes betrayed a fierce intent to kill.
Suddenly, he showed his vicious side and lunged at Lin Li, attempting to silence her for good. Lin Li was taken aback for a moment but quickly regained her composure, dodging around the suite. She used the furniture and curtains in the room to evade Lu Chen.
With quick reflexes, she knocked over a chair, successfully blocking Lu Chen's pursuit, then swiftly hid behind the curtains, causing him to lose sight of her temporarily. Lu Chen roared in anger, like a mad lion searching frantically for Lin Li's whereabouts.
Seizing the opportunity, Lin Li grabbed a vase and, as Lu Chen drew near, she summoned all her strength to smash it against his arm, causing the weapon in his hand to fall. However, Lu Chen quickly regained his aggressive stance and charged at Lin Li like a crazed beast, disregarding everything in his path.
Lin Li's heart raced as she realized she was in extreme danger, but her eyes remained resolute. She silently encouraged herself: "I will not back down; I must seize this chance to uncover the truth for my sister in this life-and-death struggle."
