Chapter 180 A Trust
He deliberately changed the subject, and Siyi naturally didn't hold onto it.
As long as he didn't give her that thuggish look, she felt like she could breathe much more easily. Then she started talking about the case.
Siyi could always quickly enter a serious thought process. She glanced at Jiang Yan and her tone became very serious, "Then do you know that there are snakeskins in your room?"
snakeskin?
Jiang Yan raised her eyebrows and shook her head. "Hmm? What does it have to do with snakeskin?"
Siyi said, "The forensic doctor told me that the fragrance is a kind of fragrance called Huanxiang, which is rare here. It is more common in Myanmar or the Golden Triangle. Normally, it will not cause any harm when applied to the body. On the contrary, it has a very special fragrance and also has an aphrodisiac effect. However, if it comes into contact with snake skin, it will quickly turn into a deadly poison. It will enter the bloodstream through the skin and cause the person to vomit a lot of blood and die within two minutes."
Siyi recalled seeing a lot of blood on his hands and clothes when they went to the police station that day, which she guessed was when he got the blood. "Didn't you notice anything unusual about that woman back then?"
Jiang Yan replied calmly, briefly recounting what happened that day: "When I entered the room, I found her on my bed. She said I had asked her to come in. I told her to go back, but she refused and insisted on getting on top of me. I did smell a very peculiar fragrance at the time. Later, I pushed her, and her body hit the edge of the sofa. I don't know what happened, but she suddenly died. When I tried to pull her up, blood spurted out and stained my clothes."
“That explains it. It seems someone had planned all of this long ago, and they put the snakeskin in there beforehand.” Siyi nodded and said confidently.
Jiang Yan suddenly fell silent, her solemn expression undisguised, as if deep in thought.
Seeing that he remained silent, Siyi glanced at him and noticed that his handsome brows had unconsciously furrowed.
For some reason, when she saw his expression, her heart skipped a beat, and she guessed that he probably had some clue.
Just as he opened his mouth to ask more questions, the emergency room door was pushed open again, and a familiar figure rushed in from outside, "Siyi!"
Ye Zhenghao had just received the news that Siyi was at this hospital, so he rushed over in a flurry. He didn't expect to run into Jiang Yanhui here. His already unpleasant expression turned even more unpleasant. "What are you doing here?"
Jiang Yan knew it was Ye Zhenghao, but he didn't even bother to say a word and just stood there expressionless.
Being ignored is certainly not a good feeling, but it's best that Jiang Yan is here at this time. Anyway, he happens to have something to say. Ye Zhenghao looked at Siyi and suddenly asked, "Siyi, have you taken over his case?"
"Yes." Siyi nodded calmly without hesitation. She knew that her older brother would definitely know about this, but whether he knew or not was no longer important.
Anyway, she already has new evidence, enough to get her brother to drop the murder charge.
"Are you crazy? You didn't tell me beforehand, how could you make such a decision?"
He had only just found out about this. The person who had taken over Jiang Yan's case before was clearly that lawyer Kang Zhaoyu, but suddenly it became Siyi. He immediately wanted to contact Siyi, but the phone was always busy. He used his connections to find her location in the shortest amount of time. Now, seeing her injured wrist, his eyes darkened, and he pointed at her wound and asked, "What happened to this?"
"I accidentally got burned, but it's all better now." Siyi took a deep breath, hid her injured wrist behind her back, and said to Ye Zhenghao, "Big brother, you've come at the right time. I also have something I want to tell you."
Ye Zhenghao glanced at Jiang Yanhui and snorted coldly, "I know what you want to talk to me about. You became his lawyer for this man, do you even know what it means to avoid suspicion? I think you've gone crazy. What will people say about you if they find out about your relationship?"
Siyi's relationship with Jiang Yanhui is actually not suitable for her to be his defense lawyer. When they go to court, the prosecution will definitely bring this up. What she is doing is taking a risky approach, which will have a huge impact on her own future.
"Brother, if I don't do this, how can you possibly face this problem squarely?" Siyi sighed softly, no longer wanting to hide anything, and said bluntly, "You clearly know that there are too many suspicious points in Jiang Yanhui's case, but you just refuse to face them. If I let you do that, what about you? What will others say about you if they find out?"
When Siyi pointed out his weakness, Ye Zhenghao's expression darkened even more, but he still refused to admit it. "Big brother has his reasons for doing things. You don't know anything, yet you insist that he is innocent. Why do you believe him so much?"
"Based on Xia Ran's autopsy report!" Si Yi said, enunciating each word clearly, "Brother, I have new evidence. I can prove that Jiang Yan Hui was framed."
"What?" Ye Zhenghao was taken aback, looking at Siyi with great surprise. "You've seen the autopsy report?"
"I know this is against the rules. I haven't actually seen the report; I've only heard the forensic doctor's analysis. But if I were the defendant's lawyer, wouldn't I also have the right to know the contents of the autopsy report?" This was her ultimate goal. She had naturally considered the concerns Ye Zhenghao had. However, her unwavering determination wasn't really about refuting anyone in court. If possible, she could find all the doubts before filing a lawsuit and convince her brother, then she wouldn't have to go to court. She just hadn't expected Xia Ran to be the forensic doctor in this case, which made things much easier for her.
"what do you want to say in the end?"
Seeing Siyi's confident expression, Ye Zhenghao finally backed down. As a law enforcement officer, he was somewhat aware that his previous actions had smack of settling personal scores. He had reflected on his actions, especially after that big argument with Siyi, which kept him up at night.
But every time he thought that this person was Jiang Yan Hui, a member of the Jiang family, he couldn't convince himself, nor could he give himself a proper way to back down.
But now, seeing Siyi's confident demeanor, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised. What kind of evidence could make Siyi so confident?
If... Jiang Yan Hui was really framed, shouldn't he not have so readily accused him of the crime?
He's a law enforcement officer; he shouldn't have used his position for personal revenge... Yes, he's been a policeman for so many years, how could he do such a thing? If there really were enough evidence, wouldn't he feel better about himself?
Siyi noticed Ye Zhenghao's absent-minded expression and felt a slight sense of relief. She knew her older brother wasn't the kind of person who would act unreasonably. Now that she was confident of victory, her tone became even more assertive. "Brother, the forensic doctor has already told me the general situation of the autopsy. Even if you don't believe Jiang Yanhui or me, you should definitely trust the most professional forensic doctor. Xia Ran said that the deceased, Wu Nana, died of poisoning. As for the poison, she initially deduced that it's a poison called Crimson, which is rare here, and it only becomes highly toxic when combined with snake skin."
She gave a brief explanation.
Ye Zhenghao listened intently to every word, but after a moment he still retorted, "So what? Even if he died from poisoning, what evidence is there to prove that he wasn't the one who poisoned him?"
He pointed to Jiang Yanhui, who had been standing silently to the side with an inscrutable expression, "Maybe he's just putting on a show? Siyi, I thought you could come up with some evidence, but is this the kind of evidence you have? Why do you believe him so much? You're so adamant that he didn't kill the person. Siyi, how long have you known him? Do you know how long I've been keeping an eye on him? Haven't you heard the saying 'there's no smoke without fire'?"
“Brother, I know what you’re thinking. You don’t believe him because he’s Jiang Yan Hui, but I also want to say that I believe him because he’s Jiang Yan Hui.” Si Yi showed no sign of compromise. She pursed her lips, turned to look at the man standing beside her who had remained silent, took a deep breath, and said, “You’ve said it yourself, you’ve been watching him for a long time, but have you really found any evidence against him? Except for this time, but even this time he was framed. What if he wasn’t Jiang Yan Hui? Would you still be so sure that he did these things? In my heart, Jiang Yan Hui isn’t an omnipotent man, but if he really wanted to kill someone, he wouldn’t need to be so mysterious. That’s just the kind of person he is; he will admit to what he’s done, and I believe him.”
I believe him...
These four simple words carried the most awe-inspiring power, causing Jiang Yan Hui's heart to tremble violently.
He looked at the woman beside him; her profile was very gentle, and her fair skin appeared even healthier under the incandescent light.
But her gaze was exceptionally firm, as if it held the weight of her lifelong faith. Yet he knew that all this unwavering faith stemmed solely from him.
I believe him because he is Jiang Yanhui.
If before this he had always known that he was deeply interested in her and wanted her to stay by his side, then after this moment he knew that Ye Siyi had completely entered his life.
Like a thumbtack, it was driven into a long-broken part of his heart, continuously giving him meaning in life, leaving him with no strength left to pull it out.
