Chapter 1084 - 1055: Suspects (2)

"Why are they lying?" Director Meisai knew very well that Chief Edmund’s neighbors were an elderly couple whose combined age exceeded a hundred years. They rarely went out, so seeking attention was unnecessary, wasn’t it? "Perhaps they did hear something, just exaggerated a bit, having hearing issues, right?"

"Director Meisai’s point isn’t impossible. After verifying their identity, I find it quite strange as well." Xiao Lin instinctively rotated the ring on his finger, occasionally revealing a subtle smile. "I’ve always been curious about the motive for Edmund’s murder. Until I followed Rochester into his room, I seemed to understand the connection."

Xiao Lin paused at this moment and let out a meaningful sigh. "Edmund’s death aligns with a particular narrative: silencing someone. If I recall correctly, it was because Director Mo Luo was threatened that you rejected letting Edmund take the position of director. Before that, due to the Sin City incident, I was taken to the police station as a suspect, though Edmund testified for me. But that’s not the main point. The main point is why did he lie to testify for me? Wasn’t the massacre at Sin City known throughout Palermo?"

"Mr. Xiao, according to your theory, you might be the one who silenced him because only Edmund knew he made a false testimony for you!"

Suddenly, Xiao Lin started clapping, standing up from his seat. "Exactly, it should be like this!" His actions puzzled everyone present; they had never seen someone sell themselves out and applaud it.

"You must be puzzled, right? Director Meisai’s rebuttal is precisely the effect the other side wanted to achieve, because Edmund became my witness and caught my little secret. Therefore, I had to kill him to cover up, which is the motive. But in fact, I didn’t do it. So, who wants to frame me? At that time, present were Murong Lengyue, Edmund, Mo Luo, and the mayor."

"But none of these four people could be the one trying to frame you."

"No, Director Meisai, you’re wrong." Xiao Lin shook his head. "One among them, that’s Director Mo Luo. However, he’s a clever person, eventually becoming a whistleblower for the CIA. Unfortunately, his residence was attacked."

"Oh, no, Mr. Xiao." Meisai shook his hand repeatedly. "At the time, many in the police station knew that it was Mo Luo who brought you and the Murong Clan Leader back to the station, and from the director’s office, the word was that Miss Murong bailed you out. Edmund merely made a false testimony, whereas Mo Luo was on the side of facts from start to finish."

"Then someone must have bribed Edmund beforehand. Murong Lengyue’s appearance was unexpected for me. The mayor’s presence at the station was also unknown to me. Director Meisai, why did Mo Luo send undercover agents disguised as troublemakers to Sin City? The reason among them is quite clear to the CIA, and if you want to know, you can ask them in private. For now, let’s talk about Edmund’s death."

"Because someone feared he would reveal their tracks."

"I checked Edmund’s accounts. During his leave, two large sums were deposited into his account, which made me suspicious whether he colluded with Mo Luo for bribes, until the station chaos, where he sought to coerce Hua Qingyi into confessing the murder of the Bessade merchants. I think I know who it is."

"How did you know Edmund used illegal means?"

Xiao Lin pointed to the surveillance cameras in the four corners of the room. "Actually, getting to know something isn’t difficult."

"If I haven’t guessed wrong, this is related to the person I’m looking for, the so-called owner who organized the Bessade auction at that time. Director Meisai shouldn’t be a stranger to this person!"

"Sorry, I don’t understand what you mean, Mr. Xiao."

"Then I’ll be more specific, starting from when I entered Sicily," Xiao Lin shrugged, indifferent to Meisai’s feigned ignorance. "When Hua Qingyi and I entered Sicily, the first place that stirred trouble was ’Bessade.’ Due to Fick’s provocation, conflict arose with Royce. Someone deliberately lured Royce away, leading Raphael to mistakenly think we did it;

Second, appearing in the ’Lei Mengda’ bombing incident was another clever design. This incident involved two women from the Genovese Clan. I couldn’t figure out why that girl revealed the secret to me, making me appear at the Northeastern Transactions with Jack;

Third, when Nicholas officially started suspecting me, Shao Weihua utilized ’Black Crow’ to steal Nicholas’s cargo and kill people from the Northeast. When I was taken to the police station, a woman from the Genovese family persuaded Mo Luo to bail me out. That was the first time I met Chief Edmund. Here, I started questioning why a woman I practically didn’t know helped me, but upon meeting you, Director Meisai, I figured something out.

Fourth, Fick and Montiel both died at the hands of one person. At that time, we were all attending an auction hosted by Shao Weihua. Present were me, Nicholas, Hua Qingyi, and Mo Luo. In fact, the content of the meeting was merely a guise; he wanted to convey a message to us that the mayor was under his control. This is the conclusion I reached after re-watching the video, as there were a few black feathers that dropped in the footage. Those present might not understand, but with your experience, Director Meisai should be aware!"

"The ’Black Crow’s magician."

"Of course, with the magician’s ability, entering the mayor’s office is a piece of cake. But I’m wondering, what’s his reason for doing this?" Xiao Lin pondered intentionally. "When the CIA approached me, asking for assistance in handling illegal drugs, I thought of another person. This person’s appearance was extremely well-timed; Shao Weihua’s string of grand moves remained quiet, followed by a series of attacks. I believe this is a sign, a sign for the mafia, one that Director Meisai should be well aware of."

"You..." Director Meisai’s eyes widened. Many present understood, yet were confused.

"Mr. Xiao, are you suggesting that our director is the mastermind behind the scenes?" Rochester’s shock was no less than the others. He looked at Meisai and then at Xiao Lin, feeling immense pressure wedged between them. (To be continued.
