Chapter 970: Chapter 14 Jason: I stood on the 5th floor Chapter 970: Chapter 14 Jason: I stood on the 5th floor Jason deliberately elongated his tone.

Then, he looked at the office worker, the clerk, and the female student, his gaze sharp as a knife, involuntarily making people tremble from deep within.

The office worker, the clerk, and the female student all turned pale, and as the only girl, the female student trembled even more.

Who is it?

Speak up quickly!

I’m dying of anxiety!

Hui Lijing couldn’t help shouting inside her mind, but she dared not interrupt.

As a bottom-tier detective, though bottom-tier, she was still a detective and knew some ‘basic skills’ of detectives.

For instance: Bluff!

The methods of bluffing are generally divided into two types.

First, when you have a rough direction but cannot accurately determine, use words to provoke the criminal, thus truly locking in on the target.

Second, when you completely do not know who the criminal is, then use words to make the criminal reveal flaws, or combine it with some drastic measures.

As for how to choose?

That depends on the detective’s level.

Competent detectives choose the first type.

Although she is competent, she generally chooses the second type.

Whether to bluff or not doesn’t matter, the main thing is she likes to convince people with reason.

Physical, reasoning.

Beside her, Ryosuke frowned.

He was not very skilled in interrogation.

However, as an outstanding police officer, his extensive experience told him that at this moment, he needed to cooperate.

So, the next moment–
“So that’s it!”

Ryosuke sighed lightly, and a mysterious expression appeared on his face.

It held disbelief, relief, and a hint of pity.

With so much complexity.

After hearing Ryosuke’s words, the office worker, the middle-aged clerk, and the female student all changed their expressions.

The three looked at each other, with the most inconspicuous middle-aged clerk taking a deep breath.

“So you’ve discovered it, Officer Ryosuke.”

“Although we were disguised carefully, in the eyes of a seasoned police officer like you, our flaws were still glaring, right?”

“Maybe you didn’t recognize us at the beginning, but given some time, you would have noticed.”

The middle-aged clerk said this, standing up straight.

Any trace of fear on his face swept away.

Not just the middle-aged clerk; the office worker and the female student did the same.

Ryosuke was stunned.

Who are you?

But, this middle-aged police officer did not deny.

He hadn’t forgotten that at this moment, he was supposed to cooperate with Jason.

Therefore, he nodded calmly.

“That’s right.”

“I didn’t recognize at the beginning, but now I am certain.”

“And the injuries on my body… they were also meant to affect my judgment with pain and fatigue, deliberately caused during my fight with Yan Xia, right?”

Ryosuke pointed to the wounds on his arm as he spoke.

“Hmm.”

“Unfortunately, it didn’t work on you.”

“We still underestimated you, and this… detective?”

The middle-aged clerk shook his head regretfully.

His gaze towards Jason was somewhat uncertain.

It was only at this point that Hui Lijing finally came back to her senses.

This female detective raised her voice.

“All of you are the murderers?!”

Her voice was filled with disbelief.

In Hui Lijing’s mind, she naively defined the murderer as a single person and had never considered that it was three people committing the crime together.

“Murderers?”

“We were just avenging!”

“Ten years ago, he murdered our family members!”

The youngest female student couldn’t help but retort.

In her short skirt school uniform, with her haircut and beautiful face, unadorned by makeup, the female student previously radiated youthful and lively vibes, but now, she only had a terrifying hatred.

A chilling hatred.

She stared at Hui Lijing, making the female detective subconsciously grip her gun handle tighter.

Then, the female student turned to look at the hanged corpse.

“Ten years ago, he killed my father.”

“Killed his mother.”

“Killed his lover.”

“Now, we killed him, merely for revenge!”

The female student pointed towards the office worker and then the middle-aged clerk, her voice gradually calming down.

“Is he a wanted criminal?”

Hui Lijing frowned.

“Of course!”

“And he is a well-known wanted criminal.”

“Ten years ago, he committed three robberies, killing the homeowners each time, looting their properties, then, Officer Ryosuke captured him, but incredibly, he killed the escort and escaped during the transportation.”

It was still the female student answering.

Even Hui Lijing could hear the sarcasm in the female student’s words.

“I’m sorry.”

“It’s my responsibility.”

Ryosuke spoke softly.

Regret appeared on this middle-aged officer’s face.

If he had tried harder, Yan Xia wouldn’t have escaped.

If he had tried harder, Yan Xia could have been caught directly.

If he had tried harder, the three innocent people in front of him wouldn’t be covered in blood now.

“No, Officer Ryosuke, this is not your fault.”

“Your effort, surpasses others’ expectations.”

“Thank you.”

The female student bowed solemnly to Ryosuke.

The office worker and the middle-aged clerk did the same.

However, as the three straightened their backs, the office worker spoke straightforwardly.

“We chose our way.”

“We know it’s illegal.”

“But we had no other choice.”

“We couldn’t wait any longer.”

“We couldn’t watch him roam free, so when this opportunity came before us, we didn’t refuse–the hatred that filled our days and nights left us no choice.”

The office worker’s voice became more sonorous.

The middle-aged clerk was calming the office worker.
