Stirring up the Police Station

　　With Benjamin's encouragement, James walked towards the lobby.

　　From a distance, they could already hear Olivia shouting loudly, even threatening to sue the entire police station.

　　Soon, the three of them saw Olivia.

　　Compared to before, she appeared even more fierce now, and no police officer dared to come near her.

　　Standing behind her was a young man in a black suit, intentionally keeping a distance from her.

　　"Ms.

　　Zhang!" James called out as he approached.

　　"I was looking for you!" Olivia finally found her target and immediately rushed over.

　　"Where did you hide my husband?" James stood firm, intending to intimidate her with his presence, and shouted in a louder voice than hers, "Please calm down.

　　This is a police station, don't shout here." Olivia was indeed intimidated by James' presence, but she quickly became arrogant again and shouted, "Fine, as long as you release my husband!" "Ethan is now a major suspect, we cannot release him!" "You say he is, so he is? Let me tell you, my husband cannot be a murderer!" "But the current evidence is against him." "Hmph, everything is just what you police say," Olivia turned her head and said to the man behind her, "Lawyer Zhao, it's your turn now." Lawyer Zhao was dragged here by Olivia against his will.

　　If it weren't for the money, he would never have gotten involved.

　　At this moment, he stepped forward, handed James a business card, and said, "I am Olivia's lawyer, Zhao Jian.

　　This is my business card." "Hello, I am Captain James," James took the card and looked at it.

　　"I am here this time on behalf of my client, requesting that you immediately release my client's husband, Mr.

　　Ethan," Lawyer Zhao said cautiously.

　　"I have already said earlier, Ethan is a prime suspect, we cannot release him," James said.

　　"May I ask if you have evidence proving that my client's husband is the killer?" Lawyer Zhao asked.

　　James was momentarily speechless.

　　He knew that in front of a lawyer, he couldn't say a single wrong word, or else he would be caught and held by the other party.

　　Instinctively, he turned to Benjamin for help.

　　"Gentlemen, this is not the place to talk.

　　We'd better move to another location to discuss," Benjamin stepped forward to defuse the situation for James.

　　James immediately said, "Yes, this is not the place to talk.

　　Let's go to my office." Benjamin, Emma, James, Olivia, and Lawyer Zhao, the group of five, arrived at James' office.

　　As soon as they entered the room, Olivia exclaimed, "I don't care what you say, my husband absolutely cannot be a murderer.

　　You must release him immediately!" At this moment, Lawyer Zhao also spoke up, "Captain James, if your police force doesn't have solid evidence proving that my client's husband is the killer, then please release him, or at least grant us bail pending trial."

　　"Sorry," James immediately rejected request.

　　It was Ethan who threw Sophia's body into the river, and if he were allowed to be released on bail, who knows if he would escape out of fear or how to explain it to the public.

　　"Why? Do you already have evidence proving that Mr.

　　Wu is the murderer?" Lawyer Zhao asked forcefully.

　　Since he took the money, he had to work hard.

　　James was once again taken aback, standing there at a loss.

　　Benjamin stepped forward with a smile, "Lawyer Zhao, perhaps you don't know what has happened.

　　Let me tell you." "Of course," Lawyer Zhao nodded.

　　All he knew was that Ethan was involved in a murder case, and he had rushed to the police station immediately after receiving the call, with no time to learn the details of the case.

　　Benjamin calmly continued, "This morning, a female corpse was found in the river.

　　It has now been proven that the deceased, Sophia, was Mr.

　　Ethan's secretary and also his lover.

　　The two rented a house in the North Bank neighborhood, which was the first crime scene.

　　Unfortunately, the scene has been cleaned up by someone.

　　In addition, we found Sophia's bloodstains in Ethan's car, and Ethan has confessed to cleaning up the crime scene and dumping the body by the river." At this point, he intentionally paused and carefully observed the expressions of the lawyer and Olivia.

　　Olivia listened expressionlessly, while Lawyer Zhao became somewhat restless, clearly unable to handle this case.

　　"Lawyer Zhao, do you still think it is necessary to release him on bail now?" Benjamin asked.

　　"My husband is not a murderer," Olivia exclaimed.

　　"Alright.

　　Please tell me then, if Ethan is not the murderer, why did he clean up the scene and dump the body?" Benjamin asked.

　　"I...

　　I don't know," Olivia turned her head and looked at her own lawyer, calling out in a low voice, "Lawyer Zhao." After hearing Benjamin's description of the case, Lawyer Zhao already suspected that Ethan was the culprit, and since Ethan himself had confessed to his actions, there was no need for him to get into trouble.

　　He cleared his throat and stood up, saying to Olivia, "I'm sorry, I suddenly feel a bit unwell and need to leave first." After finishing his words, he opened the door and walked out.

　　"Lawyer Zhao, Lawyer Zhao!" Olivia tried to stop him, but she couldn't hold onto the lawyer's footsteps.

　　"Miss Zhang, do you have any further questions?" James smiled.

　　The lawyer had left, so there was nothing to fear.

　　Olivia's face turned cold as she said, "I will say it again, my husband cannot be the murderer." "But we can't just let him go like this," James said.

　　"Wait and see, we will meet again!" Olivia snorted coldly and left in anger.

　　After the lawyer and Olivia left one after another, James sat on a chair and breathed a long sigh of relief.

　　"Finally got rid of them." "Don't you find it strange?" Benjamin suddenly asked.

　　"Strange, what's strange?" James looked up at Benjamin.

　　"I also feel something strange," Emma said.

　　"What's strange?" James looked back and forth between the two of them.

　　Emma said, "We've all been to Ethan's house, and his family is very wealthy." "That's right, his family is indeed very wealthy," James nodded, thinking about the luxurious decoration of the Wu family, realizing that he probably won't have a chance to live in such a house in his lifetime.

　　"With his conditions, he could easily hire the best lawyer in the city." "I agree, it would be effortless for them to hire the best lawyer in the city," Emma said.

　　"The lawyer, Zhao, just now was very young, he must not have been a lawyer for long, he even got scared away after a few words." "It seems...

　　that's how it was," James recalled the lawyer's reaction at the time, he was a bit too inexperienced.

　　"If they can hire the best lawyer in the city, why would they still hire a young lawyer who just entered the profession?" Emma asked, "Why?" James counter-asked, he also couldn't understand what was going on.

　　Benjamin replied, "The reason is simple, Olivia never thought about hiring the best lawyer." "Why?" James asked again, things were getting more and more confusing for him.

　　"If she really wanted us to let go of Ethan, she should have hired the best lawyer in the city." At this point, he suddenly paused, had a moment of enlightenment, and exclaimed, "Oh my god! She never thought about letting us let go of Ethan, she just hired a young and inexperienced lawyer to put on a show here." "That's right," Benjamin nodded.

　　"But why? Why doesn't she want us to let go of Ethan? Could it be that she's angry about Ethan fooling around? But she doesn't need to hire a lawyer to stage a play here, right?" James said.

　　"That's exactly what I want to know," Benjamin said.

　　"What exactly is Olivia's purpose in doing this?" "It's too strange, it's really too strange," James repeated this sentence.

　　"In my opinion, her causing trouble at the police station is just a superficial phenomenon.

　　Her true intention is to find out the truth and figure out how we view this case," Emma analyzed.

　　"That's possible," James nodded, besides this explanation, there was no better explanation.

　　"Regardless of her purpose, it seems that she cares a lot about this case," Benjamin said.

　　"That's right.

　　Her actions are indeed puzzling and even more suspicious," James nodded again, suddenly exclaimed, "Damn it, who is the killer after all? When will the case be solved?!" "The truth will always come to light," Benjamin said, standing up, "It's late now, I want to go back and rest, see you tomorrow." "You're leaving?" James stood up in a hurry, "Big brother, the case hasn't made any progress..." "No, the case has already made fast progress."

　　"Benjamin interrupted James and said, 'One should never be too hasty in anything, and taking proper rest is more beneficial for work.

　　Alright, I suggest you take a break as well.

　　We'll meet again tomorrow.' 'Fine,' James said, disappointed.

　　How he wished he could solve the case right now and catch the real killer.

　　'I'll walk back on my own,' Benjamin said.

　　'It's also a way of resting, using this time to organize the thoughts in my mind.

　　Perhaps there will be unexpected gains.'
