119: Layout, the witch was captured
"You demoness! You will be punished by the law." Lü Zhanyong, knowing there was no hope, stopped begging and began to curse, instinctively trying to crawl backward.
An Yunxi's expression changed. She suddenly squatted down, grabbed Lü Zhanyong's left hand, and said, "Punish me? In your next life. I'll send you to hell first."
She pressed down on the fruit knife, using all her strength to push it in!
Click!
A faint mechanical sound was heard.
An Yunxi felt something was wrong. How could this knife pierce so easily, without any effort?
She looked at Lü Zhanyong. The middle-aged man's face was no longer filled with fear, only a smile.
Like a victor, he lifted his left hand. The blade of the fruit knife had completely retracted into its handle.
Prop!
An Yunxi's pupils contracted sharply, and a chill spread from her spine throughout her body.
She had been tricked.
Bang, the villa door was kicked open again, and several armed police officers rushed in, shouting loudly:
"Don't move!"
"Hands up!"
Ye Lin slowly walked in behind them and said calmly, "An Yunxi, you are suspected of murdering Huang Wen and Liu Dong and burying their bodies, instigating the murder of Lu Shaohui, and attempting to murder Lü Zhanyong. You are under arrest."
Seeing Ye Lin, An Yunxi seemed to rekindle a glimmer of hope.
Her expression instantly turned soft and weak, tears streamed from her eyes, and she cried out:
"Brother Ye, I've been framed."
Ye Lin shook his head, pointed to the ceiling, and said, "An Yunxi, put away your enchantments. Look at the surveillance above. Everything has been captured. You're finished."
"Hehe, Miss An, I acted really well, didn't I? Don't kill me, don't kill me." Lü Zhanyong deliberately put on a scared expression.
"I acted like it, didn't I? Hahahaha." Lü Zhanyong laughed heartily.
"Boss Lü's acting is truly superb. We were watching from behind, and our hearts were in our throats, just like watching a movie." Guan Hongyuan walked in with Su Rongjun, unable to hide the joy on his face.
Su Rongjun looked at Ye Lin with appreciation and said, "Xiao Ye, impressive. I misjudged you before. You're a talent."
Ye Lin smiled slightly, "It's mainly because she was too complacent, thinking she could control everything."
"This is the habitual thinking andLuck mentality of criminals. They always think that if they succeed once or twice, they will always succeed and not get caught," Su Rongjun said with emotion.
Today's setup was proposed by Ye Lin and specifically designed for An Yunxi.
After visiting Lü Zhanyong, Ye Lin brought the information back to the Special Task Force. Through analysis, the Special Task Force basically confirmed that An Yunxi was the killer.
However, there were no witnesses or physical evidence, and it was almost impossible to get a confession from someone like An Yunxi, who was skilled in psychological manipulation, through interrogation.
Therefore, Ye Lin proposed this plan.
Lure the snake out of its hole!
Lü Zhanyong would use the murders of Huang Wen and Liu Dong to threaten An Yunxi, then they would find a place to install cameras beforehand. To lower her guard, only Lü Zhanyong would be left there, while everyone else would be in the adjacent villa.
The main purpose of designing this setup was to make An Yunxi admit to her murders, which would provide some evidentiary support, allowing the judge to convict her even without sufficient witness or physical evidence.
However, later, at Ye Lin's suggestion, a prop fruit knife was included.
Based on Ye Lin's understanding of An Yunxi, she would likely not come alone but would bring someone with her. In this scenario, a prop knife and Lü Zhanyong's pre-arranged blood packs could serve as a deception.
Of course, this was only an ancillary plan, and its success was uncertain.
But no one expected today to go so smoothly. An Yunxi probably thought it was foolproof, so she actually intended to directly eliminate Lü Zhanyong, not realizing that the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
"I didn't kill anyone, leader. You must believe me. They framed me." An Yunxi rushed towards Su Rongjun as soon as she saw his white shirt, trying to continue her deception.
Su Rongjun waved his hand, and two police officers immediately pressed her to the ground, "Don't move!"
An Yunxi struggled fiercely, but she was no match for the police and was held down tightly.
Looking at the group of police officers in front of her, plus the previous video, which must have clearly captured her actions, An Yunxi's face turned ashen. She knew she was going to be taken down here today.
She looked at Ye Lin with venomous eyes and said hatefully, "Ye Lin, I gave you my true feelings, but you harmed me. I won't let you off even if I become a ghost."
"Alright, when you become a ghost, remember to come find me," Ye Lin replied calmly.
"Take her away!"
Several police officers swarmed forward, and An Yunxi was handcuffed and led away.
With that, the demoness was finally brought to justice.
"Congratulations to the host for capturing the serial killer. Reward: one [God of Driving Card], limited to one hour; one piece of [Tree Demon's Skin], which can be used to make the host's entire skin like tree bark, increasing defense."
Ye Lin's lips curved slightly upward. This dog system was really something. It gave rewards right after catching someone. Not bad.
[Tree Demon's Skin]?
Ye Lin looked at the item bar in confusion. A brown piece of bark lay in the item bar, with nothing special about it.
Increase defense? Is this for him to get beaten up?
As for the [God of Driving Card], it was self-explanatory, and Ye Lin couldn't be bothered to look at it.
At the same time, several people revived Young Master Fang.
The first thing Young Master Fang did when he woke up was to try and kill Lü Zhanyong, "Lü Zhanyong, how dare you bully Miss An? I'll kill you."
His emotions had not yet subsided; his eyes were bloodshot and he was agitated. Besides Lü Zhanyong, he saw no one else. Ye Lin estimated it would take some time for him to recover.
"You all hold Young Master Fang down, I'll try." Ye Lin commanded.
Several police officers jointly pressed Young Master Fang to the ground.
"Ah—ah—, let me go, I'm going to kill that old thief." Even though he couldn't move, Young Master Fang kept shouting.
Ye Lin sat beside Young Master Fang, activated a system skill, and placed his hands on the back of Young Master Fang's head.
Following the Sanskrit chanting of the skill, Ye Lin muttered incantations, and a wave of Sanskrit sound entered Young Master Fang's mind, calming his emotions.
A minute later, Young Master Fang suddenly retched,
With a "wah" sound, he vomited directly, startling several police officers who quickly pulled Young Master Fang away.
After vomiting, Young Master Fang finally regained his senses and immediately saw Ye Lin standing in front of him.
"Ye Lin? Why are you here? Why am I here?"
He tapped his head, which was still a bit sore.
"Young Master Fang, I am Su Rongjun from the Municipal Bureau. Just now, a criminal tried to harm you, but we have already caught him. Young Master Fang, please go back and rest first." Su Rongjun stepped forward to explain to Young Master Fang.
