Bai Ma Shan looked surprised. "What did you see?"

"I saw… I saw…" Lu Maowang paused. The alcohol was making his brain work slower and slower. Finally, he chuckled and waved his hand. "Oh, I can't tell you."

Bai Ma Shan frowned. "You can't even tell me?"

Lu Maowang took another swig of his drink. "It's not that I can't tell you, it's just that if I do, you'll think I'm not a serious person."

"When have you ever been serious, you little rascal?" Bai Ma Shan said with a laugh, slapping him on the shoulder. "There are no outsiders here, so hurry up and tell me."

"At the time," Lu Maowang hesitated for a long while before lowering his voice. "At the time, I saw several bikini-clad beauties board our boat. Blonde hair, blue eyes, tall and statuesque. My eyes were glued to them."

Bai Ma Shan looked at the grinning, lecherous Lu Maowang in front of him, hiding the disgust in his eyes. He chuckled. "I shouldn't have asked."

The two joked around for a while longer, and then Bai Ma Shan got up and left.

Watching Bai Ma Shan walk out of the store, Lu Maowang's smile instantly vanished. He spat the remaining wine on the ground and didn't touch the drink Bai Ma Shan had given him.

Trying to pry information out of him? No way!

Unexpectedly, that evening, just as Lu Maowang was about to close his store, his phone rang. He answered it casually, but as soon as he heard the first sentence, he instantly sat up straight.

An hour later, Lu Maowang was sitting in the police station's interrogation room. He was gnashing his teeth, wondering if that bastard Bai Ma Shan hadn't been able to get anything out of him and had stabbed him in the back.

Zhang Lin looked at the uneasy Lu Maowang, huddled in his chair, and reached out to hand him the sports camera. "Open it and take a good look at the video inside."

"O-open it?" Lu Maowang recognized it as Zhao Di's. He was so frightened that his hands trembled uncontrollably. "What video?"

"See for yourself."

Lu Maowang held the delicate little device, turning it this way and that. There were quite a few buttons on it. He pressed several buttons in a row, but none of them were the power button. He was a rough man, carrying water up the stairs every day. How would he know how to use this camera? He didn't even know how to turn it on. Lili had turned it on for everyone to watch last time. He had no idea how to do it.

Seeing this, Zhang Lin said with a cold face, "Lu Maowang, do you know the consequences of perjury?"

"I…" Lu Maowang stammered.

"You can't even turn the machine on. How dare you say that you filmed this video?"

Zhang Lin had deliberately asked Lu Maowang to turn on the camera to test him, to see if he could skillfully operate Zhao Di's sports camera. He hadn't expected him to not even be able to turn it on. All his previous statements were now worthless.

Zhang Lin slammed his hand on the table. "Making a false statement is obstructing justice. In serious cases, you can get seven years. I see you're just itching to get in there, aren't you?"

Lu Maowang was startled by Zhang Lin's words. When he heard seven years, he was terrified. "Oh, officer, I, I was just confused for a moment. I was afraid you'd suspect me, so I thought that if I said that, you'd clear me. I know I was wrong. I know I was wrong."

Zhang Lin was so angry that his chest felt tight, but he quickly calmed down. If Lu Maowang hadn't filmed the video, then was it someone from the wooden boat?

"In the video, your eyes are open. What did you see at the time?" Zhang Lin asked, pointing at Lu Maowang.

The corners of Lu Maowang's mouth twitched involuntarily. "I, I didn't see anything. My facial nerves are out of control. I even sleep with my eyes open."

"I've already told you the consequences of making a false statement. If you remain stubborn, no one can save you."

"I'm telling the truth. This time, it's all true. I don't want to go to jail." Lu Maowang started wailing.

Zhang Lin looked at him. If Lu Maowang was telling the truth this time, then it meant that Lu Maowang was just a "prop" in the video. It was very likely that the people on the wooden boat had sandwiched Lu Maowang between the photographer's arms, using Lu Maowang's face to block their own faces while filming the scene.

Who exactly was the person who filmed this video? Was it related to Jia Wenjun? If not, when the other person was on the boat, did Jia Wenjun notice them? These questions could only be further assessed after the test results came out.

Zhang Lin looked at Lu Maowang in front of him and asked sternly, "What did you see before you passed out? Tell me the truth."

Lu Maowang was frightened by the consequences of making a false statement that Zhang Lin had mentioned earlier. He wouldn't tell Bai Ma Shan, but he didn't dare to hide anything from the police. He quietly told the truth. "I heard Zhao Di say she needed to go to the bathroom, and I… I got lustful…"

"Speak up!"

"I… I moved my face a little, and looked out sideways." Lu Maowang said as he recalled.

"I'm asking you what you saw."

"Not long after I turned my face, I… I saw Zhao Di crawling on the deck. I don't know why she was crawling. I only saw half of her body. Before long, it seemed like someone was dragging her from behind." Lu Maowang stopped there.

"And then?" Zhang Lin frowned.

At this crucial moment, Lu Maowang paused.

Seeing that Zhang Lin was about to get angry, he stammered, "I… I passed out."

Zhang Lin felt a lump in his throat. "Lu Maowang, I'm giving you one last chance. Who was dragging her?"

Lu Maowang looked aggrieved. "I really didn't see it. I just felt a pain in my neck, and I passed out."

"Neck?" Zhang Lin narrowed his eyes.

"I even suspect that my cervical spine was damaged. It hurts so much…" Lu Maowang explained.

Zhang Lin pulled open Lu Maowang's collar. In the light, there was indeed a faint bruise on Lu Maowang's neck. The position of the bruise was right on the carotid artery. If the impact was strong enough, it could cause someone to faint.

Zhang Lin released him, looking annoyed. "You're only telling me about this important thing now? You've delayed our pursuit time and wasted an opportunity to confess and receive leniency! Tell me! Did you hear any sounds at the time?"

"No! I didn't hear anything. I know I was wrong. I really don't know who hit me on the neck. I lied to protect myself."

Zhang Lin didn't believe him at all and detained him that night.

The next day, the test results came out. The hair taken from the windbreaker was Zhao Di's, not Jia Wenjun's. Combined with Jia Wenjun's action of pushing Zhao Di into the sea in the video, it happened to catch Zhao Di's hair. Although Jia Wenjun's face wasn't fully captured in the video, it was still able to prove that Jia Wenjun pushed Zhao Di.

When Wu Peng, who was working overtime, learned of this news from Liu Lu, he was thinking about what would happen after Jia Wenjun was released. These past two days, everything had been going well with Jia Wenjun's case, and he was in a very good mood, full of energy. He hadn't expected that not only would Jia Wenjun not be able to overturn the case, but she would also be nailed down all at once.

After listening to Liu Lu's words, Wu Peng grabbed his bag and helmet with a grim face and drove straight to the police station.
