Chapter 591 The Little Singer is Free and Easy (Thirty-Six)

"Let's not talk about your relationship with Ms. Chu for now. Let's just talk about Li Zong. We have sufficient evidence to prove that you were the one who bribed him."

"Officer, I'm truly innocent! Evidence can be fabricated! Of course, I'm not saying you can't even tell the difference between true and false, but some evidence can be fabricated."

The officer's face was serious as he asked again, "Hua Zhuo, you deny that you bribed Li Zong to poison Ms. Chu Tingli, correct?"

"I deny it. I didn't do it! I'm being wronged."

Although Hua Zhuo was trying to argue, he was actually very dissatisfied with Li Zong in his heart.

Li Zong is the assistant to Chu Tingli's makeup artist. He looks very honest. He is not very handsome, but he is definitely not ugly. He looks like a down-to-earth person. In fact, he is a gambler. Nine out of ten gamblers are short of money, and Li Zong is no exception. He owes more than 500,000 yuan in debt, so he continues to work as a makeup artist's assistant.

Because Li Zong was short of money and had the opportunity to invest in drugs, Hua Zhuo easily bribed Li Zong with 500,000.

But how could Li Zong have drugged someone? How could he have been discovered? If he had been discovered, he could have just denied it. Why did he admit that he did it? If Li Zong hadn't been discovered, he wouldn't have been implicated! But Hua Zhuo was also puzzled. How did Li Zong know who bribed him?

Li Zong knew that he would go to jail, but if he confessed and helped solve the case, he might be able to get a reduced sentence. When he heard that Hua Zhuo did not admit that he had bribed him, he insisted on confronting Hua Zhuo.

The two policemen looked at each other and agreed to Li Zong's request.

Hua Zhuo learned from Li Zong why he confessed so quickly and why he knew he was the one behind it. It was because a theft had occurred in the dressing room at noon the previous day. The artist who shared the same room with Chu Tingli had lost a necklace worth millions, which had been replaced with a similar fake. Chu Tingli and the artist were the only ones in the dressing room at the time, and Chu Tingli pointed out the necklace had been replaced.

The artist was so angry that he was about to call the police, but Chu Tingli stopped him and persuaded him that with the performance coming up and the crowds around him, it would be difficult to retrieve the necklace. Instead, they decided to wait and see if the thief would strike again. She personally placed the gold bracelet in a drawer and installed two surveillance cameras in a hidden corner before leaving with the artist.

In the middle of the performance the next day, Chu Tingli discovered that the gold bracelet had been replaced with a 9.9 imitation bracelet, so she handed the surveillance video directly to the director and continued the performance.

The director reviewed the surveillance footage and discovered that Li Zong had come to the dressing room early that morning and secretly stolen the bracelet. Originally, Li Zong was only suspected of theft, but Chu Tingli later fell unconscious, and her friend Zhuang Xuan secretly called the police. When the police arrived, the director immediately handed over the surveillance footage. The director skipped through the footage, noting that Li Zong had stolen the bracelet and stopped watching. However, the police, however, reviewed the entire footage and discovered that this man had also sprinkled an unknown drug powder into Chu Tingli's water cup, and later disposed of the tea in the cup and replaced it with new tea.

With surveillance evidence, Li Zong knew that the drug was just a small thing that would at most make people unconscious and posed no actual harm. He was not suspected of murder, so he naturally confessed and said that he was bribed.

However, he did not tell the police who bribed him, only saying that he did not know about it, and planned to blackmail Hua Zhuo for money later. Later, Li Zong heard that Chu Tingli was still under rescue and might die. Li Zong knew that such a public figure would cause public pressure, and was afraid that he would be sentenced to death if the person died. He cursed Hua Zhuo countless times in his heart, thinking that Hua Zhuo had given Chu Tingli poison and wanted to kill Chu Tingli and make him a scapegoat.

Li Zong was naturally unwilling to take the blame for poisoning someone. Although poisoning and theft would land him in jail, he wouldn't die! So he turned Hua Zhuo in.

Then why did Li Zong know that it was Hua Zhuo who bribed him?

Li Zong's honest face was filled with pride. If his hands and feet were not tied, he would have crossed his legs.
