YM778.TV Chapter 62: Blame
"What for?" Kai Bo curiously asked, hoping to understand the cause of such a move.
"No idea. However, the situation isn\'t looking good. The injuries are critical. The doctors say they are trying their best and since he is physically fit, he will push through." The detective explained.
"I see." Kai Bo said before he asked, "Have you reported this?"
"No. For now, it seems like a move to make an insanity plea eligible. It would be better if we kept this under wraps." Another detective advised. Kai Bo nodded in consent and then they just waited for the report.
About an hour later a doctor came out and reported, "Good news. He pushed through. All injuries have been taken care of. Whoever inflicted them was careful about only inflicting surface wounds. The only noticeable injuries were the lung and elbow injury but we managed to take care of them."
Listening to the report, the detectives were taken aback a bit. If they weren\'t mistaken, the doctor just said that the injuries were inflicted by someone. "What do you mean whoever? He did that to himself."
The doctor was a bit surprised now as he replied, "That\'s not possible. The pattern of the injuries doesn\'t match self-infliction. I know an out-of-hand beating when I see one. He was definitely assaulted by someone else."
Before the detectives could understand what was happening, another doctor came out of the room and said, "The patient has regained consciousness."
"Move him to a ward and then check his vitals." The doctor rushed back in and began to tend to Wei Jun. As for the detectives, they looked at each other as they could tell that this was a bad sign. If what the doctor said was true, they had a lot of trouble ahead.
"I want you to go back to the station and check the CCTV to find out what happened?" Kai Bo ordered.
"That\'s not possible, chief. The CCTV was turned off when this happened." The detective from earlier replied.
"What?! HOW?!" Kai Bo asked because the situation had gotten a lot worse. If the CCTV was disabled, then surely it could be an inside job and the odds weren\'t looking so good.
"We have no idea, chief. The staff says the cameras just turned off for five minutes. How? They have no idea." The detective replied.
Kai Bo rubbed his forehead as he felt a strong headache coming. After a few moments, he raised his head and said, "Get a confession out of him. Make sure the doctor\'s reports don\'t get out. Try to pin it on him as much as you can. We have nothing to do with this. It was the convict\'s attempt to get an insanity plea."
In such a situation where they clearly looked guilty, all they could do was put it all on the victim or in this case, the suspect of fourteen murders who had substantial evidence against him to get the title of a convict easily even though he wasn\'t sentenced yet.
"Yes, boss." One of the detectives replied and they moved to the room in which Wei Jun was. As they entered, they saw Wei Jun staring straight at the wall, a machine beeping, displaying his vitals while he was on an IV drip of some kind.
"Why did you do that to yourself?" Kai Bo asked, getting straight to the point.
There was no reply. Kai Bo was familiar with Wei Jun\'s attempt to remain quiet during the day\'s investigation. He slammed at the bedhead to get a reaction out of him as he yelled, "WHY DID YOU DO IT?!!"
"Hey! You cannot do this here." The doctor said in displeasure.
"You don\'t understand. This man is a criminal and a murderer. We don\'t know what he can do." The other detective tried to reason with the doctor but the doctor wasn\'t listening as he said, "I don\'t care! It\'s a hospital, not your interrogation room and the patient is still in a bad condition."
Kai Bo and the rest had no choice but to back off for now but just as they did, they heard a commotion from outside the room. As they came out, they saw two people, a man with a briefcase and a late middle-aged man, trying to get past the detectives.
"I am the attorney of Wei Jun Ruan. You have no right to stop me. I will report you if you don\'t let me enter right now." The attorney of Wei Jun, Xiang Fan shouted in anger.
The man next to him, Lao Chen, the personal bodyguard and also the butler of Wei Jun also said, "If you do not let us enter right now, I will report this to the family head."
When Kai Bo saw these people and the threats they were making, the headache he was feeling turned into a strong migraine.
"Chief," the detective at his side said, "We have no choice but to let them through." Kai Bo sighed and said, "Watch them."
=====
Xiang Fan and Lao Chen entered the room to see Wei Jun lying on the bed. His left eye was blackened, there were multiple lacerations on his body, his left elbow was dressed in a cast and his breathing was a little difficult.
"Young master…" Lao Chen was speechless when he saw Wei Jun\'s appearance.
"Mister Ruan, who did this to you." Xiang Fan asked.
"The… The detectives did this." Wei Jun replied with a lot of difficulty. The detective that had entered the room with them went wide-eyed by this fact.
"What?! Who were they?" Xiang Fan asked.
"They… They were Lei Mu, Shu…. Cheng, Ke Tao, and… Shin Han." Wei Jun again, with great difficulty answered the answer and named the four detectives who had interrogated him before the last pair of detectives.
"WHAT?! NO?! HE\'S LYING!!!" The detective yelled and came forward only to be stopped by Lao Chen who was fuming with anger himself. "Take one more step, and you won\'t live to tell the tale." As Qi emanated from him, the detective couldn\'t help but feel a threat to his life.
"Mister Chen, stop. We cannot cause a commotion here." Xiang Fan hurriedly interjected and stopped him. Lao Chen turned to look at Wei Jun who also subtly nodded. Lao Chen backed off and Xiang Fan said, "Leave now if you do not want to be implicated."
The detective had no choice but to turn around to leave. Just as he did, Wei Jun spoke, "Call the media. Secure the doctor\'s testimony. Make it public. Roll the police\'s name through the mud and then do it even worse. Make it so that the public throws stones at them whenever they see them.
Pay for the stones as well." The earlier difficulty in speech was nowhere to be seen. Lao Chen only saw the usually composed master he had always seen.
"We don\'t have time. Before they try to suppress the matter, we should do it hurriedly." Xiang Fan said and he left to make the arrangements.
"Lao Chen," once Xiang Fan was gone, Wei Jun called him.
"Yes, young master?" Lao Chen hurriedly said.
"Li Wei has the movie. Release it when ordered." Wei Jun simply said before he closed his eyes. Lao Chen wasn\'t aware of this new plan so he wasn\'t sure what it entailed as well. However, it didn\'t matter to him. All he had to do was follow.
"Yes, young master." He replied before he went silent to let his master rest.
=====
"Last night, Wei Jun Ruan, the sole son of the Ruan family was assaulted in the police station by four detectives. The doctor\'s testimony has backed up this fact and according to the doctors, Wei Jun has suffered multiple lacerations, multiple fractures, and one punctured lung caused by a broken rib.
So far, the police deny all the claims because there has been no such proof because the CCTV cameras of the police station were under maintenance last night."
"However, this claim of the police was denied, and proven that the cameras were turned off from the police station instead of them being faulty. This has raised even more questions about what the police were trying to do. The police have reported that Wei Jun Ruan is under multiple counts of arrest and that they possess proof.
This case has now been made public and the court has decided to deal with this case."
The reporter reported all of this in the news as Yao Tian clutched the glass in his hands as tightly as he could. He could have had Wei Jun out of the way by now but another complication arose due to the stupidity of the police.
"Don\'t worry." A feminine voice entered his ear as he turned around to see Liu Yu sipping wine from her glass as her butler stood behind her. "The evidence is all against him. As long as the murders against him are proven, he will be sentenced and all this won\'t matter."
Yao Tian had to admit this was the most plausible move right now. Do nothing. "Besides, even if the police are blamed, what does it do to us?" Once again, Yao Tian couldn\'t help but feel a little afraid. Although he didn\'t like this woman, so far, her plans had been perfect and cruel. She was the one who elevated his position in his family so much that he was now more regarded than his elder brother.
"Let\'s hope you\'re right." Yao Tian replied.
"I\'m always right." Liu Yu expressionlessly as she sipped her wine slowly while inwardly she thought, \'Just a little more.\'
