Chapter 195: Wang Hao Is Dead
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Did something happen to Wang Hao? Or did something happen to Ling Xuewei?”
Lin Bai couldn’t help but worry.
He knew that Chief Feng would never call him for no reason and ask him these questions.
Moreover, the other party had told the time so precisely, which meant that the police had probably checked the surveillance cameras.
The inquiry on the phone was just a routine inquiry.
The important thing was not what kind of answer Lin Bai gave, but whether Lin Bai was lying or deliberately hiding it.
It was precisely because Lin Bai understood this that he answered all the questions and did not dare to have any petty thoughts.
Chief Feng was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone. Clearly, he was considering whether or not to tell Lin Bai and how much he should tell him.
“Wang Hao is dead.”
Chief Feng’s first words were like thunder on the ground, making Lin Bai’s heart unable to calm down.
Chief Feng’s next words were even more explosive.
“The surveillance showed that three minutes after you had a physical confrontation with him, you drove out of the underground garage
“Seven minutes later, the security guards of the building rushed to the scene of the incident. At that time, Wang Hao was in a coma and was later sent to the Emergency Center for treatment
“According to the doctor’s diagnosis, Wang Hao had a very serious head injury, so he had been in a deep coma
“Just an hour ago, Wang Hao lost all his vital signs and was officially declared dead by the Doctor
“Mr. Lin, although I really don’t want to say this, you were indeed the last person who had contact with him and even had a physical conflict.”
In other words, Lin Bai was now the biggest suspect.
After hearing this, Lin Bai’s mind was buzzing.
He scratched his palm with all his strength, using the pain to force himself to stay calm.
Lin Bai took a deep breath and said, “Chief Feng, since you have checked the surveillance cameras, you should be able to see that I didn’t hit Wang Hao’s head at that time.”
“I admit that I did hit him, but with my strength at that time, it was far from enough to kill someone. In fact, when he tried to attack Ling Xuewei, his mental state was already very abnormal.”
“It is very likely that he encountered something before that led to his death. It is not necessarily because of my beating.”
“No, it definitely wasn’t because of me. I’m very sure that I didn’t touch his head. It’s impossible for me to cause a head injury.”
If it was another cause of death, it might have been related. However, Lin Bai had never touched his head.
Lin Bai wasn’t a fool. He knew the principle that one couldn’t casually hit someone’s head.
Especially after he obtained the divine level fighting technique and his physical fitness had been greatly strengthened, he would pay special attention to controlling his strength to avoid irreparable consequences.
“Oh right, Ling Xuewei can help me testify that Wang Hao’s mental state at that time was absolutely abnormal!”
Chief Feng said, “We have already invited Miss Ling to cooperate with the investigation. She did indeed mention this situation.”
“At that time, I have personally seen the surveillance video in the underground garage. Indeed, you did not hit Wang Hao’s head.”
“But this does not mean that Wang Hao’s death has absolutely nothing to do with you.”

“After all, you were the last person he had contact with when he was alive. Moreover, there was a physical conflict between the two of you. The current evidence is very unfavorable to you.”
“Therefore, according to the rules, we have to invite you over to cooperate with the investigation. Mr. Lin, I hope you can understand.”
Chief Feng was already very polite. In fact, he could have asked Lin Bai to go over and accept the investigation.
But his words and tone were as gentle as possible.
Of course, this was out of respect for ye Weijun.
Lin Bai knew that he could not avoid this matter no matter what.
Unless he could find other evidence to prove that Wang Hao’s head injury had nothing to do with him.
Otherwise, as the last person to have a conflict with Wang Hao, Lin Bai would not be able to clear his name so easily.
Chief Feng said that he wanted him to go over and cooperate with the investigation, but in reality, Lin Bai had to go even if he did not want to. There was no other choice.
“Alright, I’ll be there right away.”
Lin Bai sighed, hung up, and turned back to Luo Yang and Zhu Kai, “Sorry, I’m afraid I can’t take you for a ride today. You guys can go back to school.”
Luo Yang saw that Lin Bai’s expression was not right and quickly asked, “What’s wrong? What happened?”
Lin Bai said vaguely, “I got into some trouble. I have to go to the police station to accept an investigation. I don’t know how long it will take for me to come back.”
“If I have to check my bed tonight, I’ll have to trouble you guys to help me apply for a leave.”
Luo Yang was also getting anxious.
“It’s okay to ask for a leave of absence, it’s just a small matter. Boss, tell us properly, what exactly did you get into? I’ll see if I can get my family to pull some strings to help you!”
Lin Bai smiled bitterly and shook his head.
“No need, you definitely can’t help me with this matter.”
“Don’t worry too much, I believe that the police will definitely investigate it clearly. If it has nothing to do with me, then it has nothing to do with me. Alright, you guys go back quickly. I have to hurry to the police station.”
Luo Yang’s family indeed had a lot of connections. They had helped Lin Bai many times before.
However, this time, it was different.
How good was Chief Feng’s attitude towards Lin Bai in the past? He had even helped Lin Bai with various matters several times.
But after Wang Hao’s death, he had no choice but to do his job properly. According to the rules, he asked Lin Bai to go over and accept the investigation.
Even the director of the City Public Security Bureau couldn’t help him, let alone Luo Yang’s family connections.
Luo Yang and Zhu Kai said a few comforting words and told Lin Bai to relax and take it easy. They then got out of the car with a heavy heart.
Lin Bai silently started the car. Suddenly, Accountant Li’s black doll flashed through his mind for no reason.
Then, he thought that he was still in the period of maximum luck.
Logically speaking, he should not have encountered such an unlucky thing.
Moreover, he had just tested it a few hours ago. He could get full marks just by luck alone.
How could he be so unlucky now?
“That doll is too unlucky, right?”
Lin Bai could not help but mutter to himself. He suspected that the black cloth doll had destroyed his original good luck.
However, it had already happened. Even if he went back and threw the doll away or burned it, it would not change anything.
“I’ll take it one step at a time. I hope I still have some remaining luck value to clear my name as soon as possible.”
Lin Bai muttered to himself, trying hard to get rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind, and drove straight to the police station.
Along the way, his attention was all focused on observing the road condition at all times, so he didn’t notice that the pendant hanging on his wrist was emitting a faint white mist.
Under the bright sunlight near noon, the faint white mist was unremarkable.
If one did not look closely, one would not notice it at all.
