Both of them sat on the iron chairs.

Their hands and feet were shackled to the edges of the chairs to prevent any extreme behavior.

“Are they still not saying anything?”

Lin Xian asked.

Chu Shanhe shook his head:

“Not only are they not talking, they are also very arrogant.”

He pointed to the surveillance video of Ji Xinshui on the monitor:

“This old man is not at all worried about his current situation.

He even said with a smile that he’d be out soon, very confident.”

“What about Ji Lin?”

“The same.” Chu Shanhe said:

“Ji Lin, on the other hand, can communicate a bit, but he denies all of the criminal facts we’ve presented.

He’s so intelligent that he naturally knew from the start that we could only detain them for up to 24 hours,

“So...

if we can’t find any evidence linking them to the murder case, or figure out a way to make them admit to their crimes...

...

I’m afraid they’ll really get their wish, walking out of here with their heads held high.”

“That won’t happen, I have a plan.”

Lin Xian shook his head, looking at Chu Shanhe and Officer Liu in the surveillance room:

“It’s just...

I need everyone to cooperate with me.”

“No problem.”

Officer Liu was the first to answer:

“Lin Xian, after the past few incidents, everyone in the police station fully trusts you.

As long as it’s nothing against principles and regulations, we’ll do as you say.

And within my authority...

even if it’s a slight breach of the rules, it’s negotiable.”

“I’ve also discussed with Shanhe earlier, if they are the ones who killed Xu Yun and Tang Xin...

then no matter the cost, we must arrest and bring them to justice, to face the punishment they deserve!”

“The law’s net is vast and meshed, I don’t care how the people of Donghai City will view our police force’s inconsistent behavior, what we must do, and must do, is to catch the real murderer!

Lin Xian, whatever your ideas are, just say them.

All responsibility...

I’ll bear it!”

...

Lin Xian nodded and gave instructions to everyone.

He did not tell them about the Genius Club, nor did he share any details of his plan, only telling them:

“When I go in to talk to them in a little bit, please turn off all the recording, taping, and surveillance devices.”

“Plain interrogation is no longer yielding any clues now, I must find a way to gain their trust.

Both are intelligent people, we shouldn’t play tricks, we must shut down all the surveillance devices.”

Yet, his aura was remarkably strong.

Even though he was handcuffed to the chair, his expression remained confident,

disdainful,

relaxed,

and...

arrogant.

It was as though it wasn’t him who was shackled, but Lin Xian.

“...what a rare visitor,”

Seeing that the person entering the interrogation room was Lin Xian, Ji Xinshui squeezed his wrinkled face into a sneer and said coldly:

“What a lucky boy to have survived.”

Bang.

Lin Xian didn’t speak, his expression unchanged, as he gently closed the door of the interrogation room and silently took a seat opposite Ji Xinshui.

Ji Xinshui straightened up, leaned back, and looked down at Lin Xian with a contemptuous gaze:

“Give up, I won’t say anything, it’s useless no matter who comes.”

Snap.

Lin Xian snapped his fingers out of thin air.

Thud, a muffled sound.

The one-way glass of the interrogation room darkened, turning into a black screen; the power indicator lights of the surveillance cameras in the corners went off, and they retracted; simultaneously, the lighting on the recording systems on the table and wall also went off, signifying the end of monitoring and recording.

Ji Xinshui looked around, furrowing his brows in surprise.

He didn’t understand what was going on.

The Lin Xian before him was just an ordinary office worker, and he couldn’t possibly have the authority to shut down all these surveillance devices at the police station.

Besides, he wasn’t a police officer, so he had no right to interrogate.

“What exactly are you trying to do?”

Ji Xinshui looked at Lin Xian warily.

Surely the Donghai City police wouldn’t be bold enough to try something forceful in this room with everything shut down, to use violence on him?

“You don’t need to be nervous,”

Finally, Lin Xian spoke.

As he unwound the seal thread on the document bag, he said:

“All surveillance equipment has been shut down, and now the conversation here is known only between the two of us.”

“So what?” Ji Xinshui snorted coldly:

“What are you trying to do?”

“I’m here to give you something,”

Lin Xian fully unwound the seal thread.

Then...

In front of Ji Xinshui’s astonished gaze, he pulled that dark red invitation out of the document bag!

The side with the wax seal faced up, and the English words “Genius Club” reflected an eerie and arrogant light under the incandescent lamp!

Lin Xian pressed the invitation with two fingers of his right hand, slowly pushing it towards Ji Xinshui:

“Congratulations, Ji Xinshui,”

Lin Xian raised his head and smiled, looking into the other’s greatly shaken pupils:

“This is your...invitation!”
