When Superintendent Ruan heard this, he felt as though he heard a massive joke: “You’re joking around about killing someone’s father? I can’t believe you made up that excuse! Are you stupid or am I stupid?”

“What law states that I can’t joke around like that? Superintendent Ruan, you’re a police officer. Therefore, without any solid evidence, you can’t convict me of any crime. You can’t convict me just based on two words I’ve said. If you want to do that, even if you bring me to court, the judge won’t find me guilty.”

Mr. Mu knew very well that he could not be convicted for a case that had been dormant for nearly twenty years just off a few words.

“Oh right, this is also a bar. People like to joke around in bars no? Furthermore, I just so happened to drink a bit before coming over here. I like to joke around when I drink. Do you think the judge at court would believe in my words?”

As Superintendent Ruan looked at the man, he felt so disgusted that he was about to throw up his meal from last night.

Superintendent Ruan laughed coldly before he said: “Can you be more shameless?”

The man continued to smile. He did not panic at all.

The man looked at Zhai Yunsheng and asked: “A Sheng, do you believe in their words?”

Zhai Yunsheng stared at the man with scarlet eyes.

This man was indeed a friend of his father. From his father’s stories, he knew that this man met his parents during college. They had been close friends.

This man did not affect him. However, he could not forgive this man for the things he did to his parents.

Zhai Yunsheng was silent. However, the look on his face already showed that he believed in Jian Yiling and Superintendent Ruan’s words.

Naturally, the man was not surprised by this reaction: “Ahh, you make me incredibly sad. I’ve always cared about you. I know everything that’s been happening to you.”

Superintendent Ruan was disgusted by these words: “Stop being so disgusting. Caring about him? You’re just worried about him learning about the truth.”

“Police officer, please do not slander me without any solid evidence. I’m caring about him because he’s the child of my deceased friends. Is there anything wrong with that? Shouldn’t I care more about him?”

If he was allowed to swear, Superintendent Ruan and his agents would have been yelling profound and foul language by now.

Instead, Superintendent Ruan took a deep breath and said: “Well, I must admit you did a good job on Zhai Bochen’s case. You didn’t leave a single clue for us. Otherwise, this case would not have been unsolved for so many years.”

“Police officer, you shouldn’t be saying those words to me. You should be saying that to the murderer,” the man replied with a calm and composed expression.

No one needed to remind him about this fact.

After all, if the Zhai family had any clues, he wouldn’t be hanging around them for so many years.

However, a sneer appeared on Superintendent Ruan’s face: “But you killed a certain executive in the Zhai Group a few years ago. We can still convict you of that crime.”

Upon hearing these words, the smile on Mr. Mu’s face instantly vanished.

Superintendent Ruan was happy to see Mr. Mu’s smile disappear.

After all, did he really expect them to come here unprepared? They weren’t here to play around with him!

Jian Yiling had been chasing after this criminal for two years now!

He shouldn’t have been overconfident in his abilities.. In addition, he shouldn’t have underestimated the Special Crimes Investigation Division.
