"Inspector Blake, the representative lawyer for Yan Wushuang has arrived!" A knock sounded at the door, and an officer entered with a tall man dressed in a dark suit. His imposing figure made the entire Holding Room feel much smaller.
Yan Wushuang secretly breathed a sigh of relief but was slightly taken aback upon seeing the representative lawyer.
Senior Inspector Blake Green's expression shifted from surprise to fury. "Yan Wushuang is currently under review; no visitation is allowed within 24 hours!"
"Blake Green, it seems your temper has grown quite a bit since we last met," the representative lawyer interrupted, his deep voice laced with mild sarcasm, indicating that they were accustomed to dealing with each other.
Senior Inspector Blake Green shot a fierce glare at the lawyer before turning to Yan Wushuang with a cold smile. "Mrs. Lei, you truly are a remarkable woman to have summoned him. It looks like you are determined to clear your name."
A flicker of astonishment crossed Yan Wushuang's eyes as she calmly replied, "Officer, please watch your words. My lawyer is here, and I can easily sue you for defamation!"
Senior Inspector Blake Green's expression darkened instantly. He snorted but then turned to the lawyer. "Although you are a top-notch lawyer and a consistent victor, I believe this time you will falter. All evidence points against Yan Wushuang, and there are even witnesses who can confirm that Yan Wushuang was present and personally saw Annie Smith drink the soup."
"Blake Green, how things truly are needs thorough investigation by the police. You mentioned that witnesses only saw my client present and observed Annie Smith drinking the soup. But is there any evidence proving that she poisoned it? I trust you won't attempt to frame my client as guilty based on such vague evidence?" The lawyer's words were firm and resonant, showcasing his consistent professionalism.
Senior Inspector Blake Green gritted his teeth and glared at him. "If you want to understand the case now, you'd better wait for 24 hours!"
The lawyer shook his head with a smile. "That's not possible; my client can leave with me right now!"
Blake Green was startled and immediately said, "Yan Wushuang cannot leave now!"
"Blake Green, my client has already been here for twelve hours. The lawyer is fully entitled to visitation and bail requests. Even if you applied for a 24-hour detention order, without any solid leads, my client can only be referred to as a suspect, not a criminal. I have already submitted a bail of twenty million!" The lawyer stated firmly.
Upon hearing this, Senior Inspector Blake Green was momentarily stunned before sneering, "I almost forgot that she is the president of Monica Group; she really has money! I hope your client is indeed innocent. However, the police will continue their investigation during this period; Yan Wushuang cannot leave the country, and we will confiscate her passport. Additionally, we will need to take her statement whenever there are new developments in the case!"
"Of course!" The lawyer nodded.
Senior Inspector Blake Green stormed out.
The air felt somewhat stagnant...
"Mrs. Lei, you are quite calm!" Under the lights, the lawyer's eyes sparkled, and his tone carried a hint of admiration.
Yan Wushuang carefully observed the lawyer before her... He was at least 185 centimeters tall, and although his robust frame was concealed beneath an expensive suit, it was evident that he was very fit. Clearly, he was of mixed heritage, possessing a strikingly handsome face that blended Eastern and Western features. His prominent nose hinted at his determination and depth, while his slightly pursed lips bore a faint smile. She had to admit that he was indeed a remarkably charming lawyer!
"Are you the lawyer hired by Lefas?" After sizing him up, she finally spoke.
"Yes, Mrs. Lei. My full name is Aisin Gioro Yao. If it's too much trouble, just call me Aisin Gioro Yao!" The man replied, extending his large hand toward her.
Yan Wushuang furrowed her brow slightly. The moment she shook his hand, a thought flashed through her mind: "You're the renowned golden lawyer from the royal lineage featured on television?"
"That would be me!" Aisin Gioro Yao smiled.
Yan Wushuang was taken aback...
Aisin Gioro Yao was a descendant of the Qing Dynasty royalty. Although the Qing Dynasty no longer existed, his current status was still quite impressive!
His father was a well-known president of a publicly listed group, and his mother was a famous prosecutor. He himself was a celebrated golden lawyer in the legal field, often referred to as a genius or prodigy because he gained fame after winning a significant case shortly after starting his career. Initially, many questioned whether he was merely lucky, but after winning forty-six consecutive cases, everyone acknowledged his professional abilities. Since then, his worth skyrocketed, making him a highly sought-after lawyer known worldwide.
Moreover, he had represented the government in commercial negotiations with other countries, further elevating his status within the industry. Even wealthy individuals found it difficult to hire him personally!
"It’s a pleasure to meet you..." Yan Wushuang never expected Lefas would hire him for assistance.
"Don't worry, Mrs. Lei. Just leave everything to me; all you need to do is tell me everything that happened that day!" Aisin Gioro Yao's warm smile was particularly captivating.
In the private room of a high-end restaurant, Rafas had been waiting for quite some time. Outside the restaurant, a crowd of media reporters had gathered. Aisin Gioro Yao Ri and Yan Wushuang entered through the back door under the protection of bodyguards, avoiding the reporters' questions.
Upon seeing the pale-faced Yan Wushuang, Rafas's eyes clearly showed more concern and tenderness. He immediately pulled her into his arms and softly asked, "Are you feeling unwell? Did those bastards do anything to you?"
Yan Wushuang gently shook her head, burying her cheek in his embrace. At that moment, she felt a warmth in her heart. After enduring harsh trials, this man was like a guardian angel protecting her, bringing stability and safety to her restless heart.
Aisin Gioro Yao Ri sat across from them, his sharp gaze assessing the couple before a knowing smile appeared on his lips. He lightly remarked, "Don't worry, Mrs. Lei is quite impressive; she managed to make Senior Inspector Blake Green blush!"
"Is that so?" Rafas chuckled softly, gazing at her with a deep voice full of affection.
Yan Wushuang's pale face flushed slightly, then she looked at him with concern: "How are Xiaoyi and Lele? Are they okay?"
"Don't worry; they are both fine. You should focus on yourself first. Your complexion looks terrible. You need to rest well when we get home, understand?" Rafas reached out to caress her cheek, his eyes filled with concern.
Yan Wushuang nodded and sat down at the dining table. The table was filled with all her favorite foods. After enduring a night of torment, she was indeed feeling quite hungry now.
Watching her eat eased some of Rafas's worries; as long as she was okay, he could solve any problem!
After Yan Wushuang finished eating, she recounted everything that had happened that day to Aisin Gioro Yao Ri for his analysis.
As time passed, the dawn light outside transformed into a clear blue sky. Once Yan Wushuang finished speaking, the room fell silent.
The smoke rings from a cigar gently spread through the air...
After a long while, Aisin Gioro Yao Ri finally spoke: "This case is somewhat tricky, especially since the other party is Princess Anna's sister from the British Royal Family. It seems we can only find the real culprit to completely clear Mrs. Lei's name."
"This kind of case should be a piece of cake for you!" Rafas took a sip of red wine and said lightly.
"The most disadvantageous evidence against Mrs. Lei right now is that bowl of soup. The forensic examination results clearly show that this chronic poison was added beforehand, meaning that when Mrs. Lei brought the soup to the hospital for Annie Smith, it was already toxic. However, the most important point is that this soup was cooked in your kitchen, and before Mrs. Lei left, both of you had tasted the soup and confirmed it was safe. So where exactly did the problem arise?" Aisin Gioro Yao Ri couldn't make sense of this.
"Could it be that one of our own did it?" Rafas boldly hypothesized.
"By 'our own,' do you mean the servant who ladled out the soup and handed it to Mrs. Lei on that day?" Aisin Gioro Yao Ri asked, staring at him.
"Yes, do you think that's possible?" He wouldn't rule out anyone in order to clear Yan Wushuang's name.
"Lefas, don't think that murder can happen without motive. The police are not idle; they have already investigated that maid. She has worked at your castle for two years, her family situation is quite ordinary, they are honest people with no debts or enemies, and no motive could be found. That's why they are pointing fingers at Mrs. Lei. But I really can't understand who could have calculated so precisely to not only kill Annie Smith but also frame Mrs. Lei!" Aisin Gioro Yao Ri analyzed with confusion.
Rafas pondered for a moment and then said, "From this perspective, when the soup was taken out of the castle by Wushuang, it was still non-toxic. During that time, Shuang'er didn't go anywhere; she was driven straight to the hospital. At the hospital, Annie Smith drank a bowl of soup in front of her family and Shuang'er, and afterward, Shuang'er left the hospital with Anna Smith. According to this reasoning, there were no issues with the soup during that time? Could it be that the problem isn't with the soup at all but rather something else?"
Yan Wushuang had been sitting beside Rafas, leaning against him and silently listening to their analysis while she recalled if she had overlooked any details that day.
"Perhaps..." Aisin Gioro Yao Ri suddenly had a flash of insight and after a moment of contemplation deduced, "The real target was only Mrs. Lei; Annie Smith was merely a stepping stone!"
"Why do you say that?"
"Because after analyzing so many people, none of them harbored hatred towards both of them simultaneously. So I boldly propose that the real murderer is someone who specifically wanted to target Mrs. Lei. Choosing Annie Smith as a victim makes perfect sense!"
As soon as Aisin Gioro Yao Ri finished speaking, Rafas's face turned unexpectedly grim; he tightly grasped Yan Wushuang's hand as if afraid she might suddenly disappear from his side.
