1582: Huo Mian’s Wish (3)

Huo Mian’s Wish (3)

He actually didn't care about who killed his daughter. No matter who killed her, they must pay for it with their lives.2

Therefore, it didn't matter who killed her, Huo Mian or Qin Chu, the murderer must die.

The case became more confusing and complicated when Huo Mian admitted to the murder with a smile on her face.

When she was taken away by the police, Su Yu blocked her path.

"Huo Mian, what are you doing?" Su Yu's eyes were bloodshot with tears shining in them.

He knew the laws of this country way too well, he knew what type of sentencing awaited those who committed homicide.

"Su Yu, I'm sorry."

Huo Mian didn't answer Su Yu's question. Instead, she apologized and gave him a tragic smile.

When Huo Mian was brought up to the front, she was placed right beside Qin Chu.

They weren't far apart...

The two looked at each other passionately, and before Qin Chu could say anything, Huo Mian said, "Sweetie, I'm so sorry… Thanks for taking the blame for me for so long…"

Huo Mian's voice was loud and was audible by everybody.

Qin Chu's expression changed, and he bitterly replied, "Mian, what are you doing?"

"I can't let you take it anymore. This is a big deal, I killed her, and I'll take the blame."

At that moment, Officer He walked up to them, stared into Huo Mian's eyes, and asked, "Mrs. Qin, please consider this carefully, homicide is a big deal… This is a serious case. If you're sentenced, you'll stand in front of the firing squad… Do you know the consequences of admitting to murder?"

"I do," Huo Mian calmly replied.

"But we can't just listen to your side of things… If everyone admits to the crime, what are we supposed to do? We have to sentence based on evidence, and all the evidence is pointing towards Qin Chu."

"I have evidence to prove that I killed her."

Huo Mian's words made everyone present tense up...

"What proof does Mian have?" Zhu Lingling held Gao Ran's hand tightly.

"I really don't know, Lingling, I was kicked out of participating in the case. A lot of the evidence is confidential, I'm not cleared to view it… I really don't know."

"Yu, what's going on? I'm so confused, what is really going on?" Tang Chuan was completely lost.

"Dad, what's Mian doing?" Qin Ning softly asked her father.

Qin Chu's uncle shook his head, he didn't know his niece-in-law very well at all, as he had not been back for long.

Qin Yumin was still covering from surgery, and Mrs. Qin made the nurses watch him while she went to the hearing.

When she heard Huo Mian admit to the crime, she felt her blood pressure burst up...

She felt her eyes blur immediately...

"Auntie, are you okay?" Qin Ning held Mrs. Qin up.

"Is our family cursed? Why is Mian involved now too…"

"Things really are complicated now…" Qin Chu's uncle sighed and said softly.

Mayor Song looked at Huo Siqian. "You knew that Huo Mian was the murderer, right? You covered it up for her because she's your sister, no?"

"Haha, Dad, what kind of joke are you making? How could I have known? Also, Mian is a weak woman, she won't even kill an ant. How could she kill a person? I think that she's blabbering, her goal is to free Qin Chu."

Huo Siqian denied that Huo Mian was a murderer and replied to Mayor Song with a false smile.

"Is that really the case?" Mayor Song didn't think things would be that simple.
