Chapter 683: Something's Off About Their Relationship
Chu Yin went forward and rewound the video to when Fang Sisi spoke.
"Fang Sisi is clearly inducing them to say these things."
"Previously, Fang Sisi mentioned on the boat that she killed those girls to gain Mrs. Bai's trust."
"So, this video must be her intentionally provoking these girls to say things to pledge allegiance to Mrs. Bai."
"Yet she didn't expect Mrs. Bai to record these deliberately for future use."
Chu Yin spoke while pacing around the office.
She knew this video was definitely Fang Sisi's trick.
Captain Xing looked up at Chu Yin, aware of her impatience.
"Those girls said the same, but this segment of the video doesn't show any coercion. They said everything themselves—it's their subjective thoughts, so just this video alone would severely undermine Fang Sisi and the girls' testimony."
"Fang Sisi again!"
Chu Yin gritted her teeth.
Her cheeks flushed slightly with anger.
Lin Zhiyi stood up and held her, knowing that being more anxious now was useless.
"Captain Xing, isn't there anything we can do?"
Captain Xing paused the video and looked earnestly at Lin Zhiyi and Chu Yin.
"Miss Lin, Miss Chu, you are involved. I contacted you both hoping you might recall any details you overlooked; this is crucial, and as the leader of this operation, I don't want any criminals to slip through."
After speaking, Captain Xing bowed to Lin Zhiyi and Chu Yin.
Startled, they quickly helped Captain Xing up.
"Captain, rest assured, we will cooperate in the investigation." Chu Yin promised.
Lin Zhiyi acknowledged with a nod.
"Captain Xing, feel free to ask anything—we won't hide anything from you."
Captain Xing turned and locked the door.
After pausing, he looked at everyone and said, "Based on my years of experience in investigations, something is very off with the relationship between Mrs. Bai and the Bai family father and son."
"Huh?"
Chu Yin couldn't grasp it quickly.
Was this a shift from crime investigation to family ethics?
Lin Zhiyi hesitated and wondered, "Are you saying those three are...?"
Captain Xing suddenly smiled.
"I know it's hard for you to accept, but as police officers, frankly, such situations aren't uncommon."
"Captain, do you know some secrets?"
Chu Yin leaned closer to Captain Xing, unintentionally revealing her curiosity about gossip.
Before Captain Xing could speak, he was interrupted by Sang Li's light cough.
"Captain Xing, do you have any evidence?"
"Let me show you something."
Captain Xing opened another video.
He continued, "After being detained, Bai family father and son both insisted on seeing Mrs. Bai separately. Here's the surveillance of those meetings."
Mrs. Bai, Yang Jingwei, first met Bai Zhengxian.
Yang Jingwei sat down, and Bai Zhengxian immediately began issuing commands.
"No matter how much money it costs, hire the best lawyers for me and Second Uncle."
"I know, I've already arranged it."
Yang Jingwei said, tears beginning to fall, like a delicate flower unable to care for itself.
But so far, nothing unusual.
Until Yang Jingwei raised her eyes and stared at Bai Zhengxian.
"What should my daughter and I do with you like this? I'm truly scared. Never mind about me, but my daughter is still so young. How will she face her future after losing family members?"
Bai Zhengxian met her gaze, noticeably stunned for a moment.
He stared at Yang Jingwei: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, with me here, you and Ruoshu will be alright."
Yang Jingwei gently held Bai Zhengxian's hand.
"We are husband and wife, no matter what happens, I will be with you, and will also take good care of our daughter."
Bai Zhengxian remained silent for a long time.
But when he finally spoke, it was an unfathomable sentence.
"Really?"
"Of course, I'm her mother." Yang Jingwei looked at Bai Zhengxian with deep emotion.
Bai Zhengxian closed his eyes with a bitter smile: "Do you hate me? It's me who's wronged both of you."
Yang Jingwei choked and said, "No, I don't hate you, and never will."
"Alright."
Bai Zhengxian opened his eyes and looked steadily at Yang Jingwei.
The surveillance ended.
Chu Yin said, "This... What's strange about it? Seems like a typical couple interaction, the only surprising thing is that their bond is so deep, even now they aren't fleeing from the crisis."
Indeed.
Yang Jingwei and Bai Zhengxian typically don't seem like a loving couple.
On the contrary, their relationship seems more like a hierarchical one.
Just as Bai Zhengxian instinctively began issuing orders upon seeing Yang Jingwei enter.
Why did Bai Zhengxian suddenly change his attitude?
Lin Zhiyi was pondering when Chu Yin spoke again.
"This doesn't seem to prove anything either."
"Then let's check the surveillance of Mrs. Bai's meeting with Second Master Bai."
Captain Xing switched to another video.
Yang Jingwei walked into the room at a leisurely pace, clearly not as cautious as when she met Bai Zhengxian.
But should not the younger generation be careful when meeting elders?
Surprisingly, Yang Jingwei did not interact much with Second Master Bai after sitting down.
They merely exchanged glances.
Finally, Second Master Bai sighed.
"Take care."
"Thank you."
After Yang Jingwei's gratitude, the meeting ended.
Chu Yin was amazed, "That's it? What can you see from this?"
Lin Zhiyi was also puzzled but felt something was amiss.
At this moment, Gong Chen, who had remained silent for a long time, pointed to the surveillance.
"Eye contact and body language; when Mrs. Bai met Bai Zhengxian, she seemed visibly withdrawn, and her gaze was much more timid, while meeting Second Master Bai, her shoulders were relaxed."
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiyi looked up.
Indeed, it was true.
Captain Xing looked at Gong Chen appreciatively.
"Yes, we specifically consulted experts to analyze Mrs. Bai's behavior. It's not just her shoulders; look at her legs—when she met Second Master Bai, that's a pose women adopt when showcasing their figure to men, indicating their relationship isn't simple. But this can't serve as evidence."
After hearing this, Lin Zhiyi raised her head and stared at Yang Jingwei's face.
Her mind again recalled Yang Jingwei's smile on the deck.
That was the true Yang Jingwei.
"And the eye contact."
"All those glances are fake."
Lin Zhiyi was very sure.
Captain Xing looked at Lin Zhiyi suspiciously.
Lin Zhiyi said, "Put the footage of her meetings with President Bai and Second Master Bai side by side."
Captain Xing immediately complied, and when both photos were placed together, the differences became especially clear.
Chu Yin even observed something that others hadn't noticed.
"Have you noticed Mrs. Bai changed her makeup for meeting these two?"
Lin Zhiyi rarely wears makeup, and even if she does, it's very simple.
Such detailed makeup changes were beyond her perception.
But after enlarging Yang Jingwei's two faces, Lin Zhiyi suddenly realized something.
"Captain Xing, can you zoom in on President Bai's face while looking at Mrs. Bai?"
"Okay."
Captain Xing zoomed in on Bai Zhengxian's face.
Lin Zhiyi studied it carefully and finally Bai Zhengxian's expression overlapped with the image in her mind.
She had a hypothesis.
"I've figured it out!"
