Chapter 465: Why Are You So Damn Amazing (Update 3)

Bincheng Hospital.

“Preliminary check: The patient’s cornea suffered external force damage, causing vitreous hemorrhage and corneal necrosis…”

A doctor held the diagnosis and reported to Xiao Yu about the eye injuries of the informant Gong Hongyun.

“Confirmed blindness?”

Xiao Yu frowned as he asked the doctor.

“Yes.”

The doctor nodded, his eyes indifferent.

His expression was neutral, but his eyes betrayed the anger he felt at having his professional competence questioned.

Xiao Yu smiled, “Thanks for your trouble.”

“You’re welcome,” the doctor replied before leaving.

“When you brought Gong Hongyun over, nothing odd happened, did it?”

Xiao Yu glanced at Guo Qiang beside him and asked, “Anything unusual?”

Guo Qiang shook his head. “Nothing.”

Xiao Yu ordered him to have Gong Hongyun thoroughly examined at the hospital.

All along the way, he had stayed by Gong Hongyun’s side.

The man behaved normally and was very cooperative.

Even though he was the informant, until the case was completely investigated,

Gong Hongyun remained a suspect!

“Interesting…”

Xiao Yu turned and headed toward the ward area.

Guo Qiang and Wang Cheng exchanged a glance before silently following…

Inside a ward,

Gong Hongyun, with his eyes bandaged, lay on a hospital bed.

As the door opened,

Gong Hongyun’s usually calm face broke into a look of unease and panic.

It was as if he were both fearing and dreading something.

Xiao Yu studied his face as he approached and stood at the head of the bed.

Neither of them spoke a word.

A tense, eerie silence settled over the room.

Noticing the terror in Gong Hongyun’s eyes, Xiao Yu broke the quiet, “Why did you lie and provide false testimony?”

“Huh?!”

Gong Hongyun trembled, his lips quivering, “W-what did you say?”

“You know exactly what I’m talking about.”

Xiao Yu studied his expression and coldly said, “From the very beginning, you’ve been lying.”

“I—I didn’t!”

Gong Hongyun pleaded nervously, “Officer, everything I said was the truth.”

“Oh, really?”

Xiao Yu snorted, “The wealthy man you mentioned, Hu Xinran. You told me that Hu Xinran invited you to his house, and then you claimed you saw him dead. You even said you witnessed Hu Xinran’s wife holding a knife and discovered a man in the bathroom—a lover?”

“Y-yes, that’s how it happened.”

Gong Hongyun nodded anxiously.

“Then let me ask you one question.”

Xiao Yu coldly inquired, “If you were that lover, and you and the adulterous woman killed her husband, and someone arrived and discovered you—if eliminating that person meant no one would ever know what you did, what would you do?”

“I…”

After uttering that word, Gong Hongyun fell silent.

What would any normal person do?

If you kill one person, why not also eliminate the witness who saw the murder?

Once they’re removed, no one would know, right?

What? You say he’s blind?

Don’t worry about him noticing anything.

Heh… so what if he’s blind?

Can you really guarantee that the blind man didn’t notice anything?

Unless you’re utterly clueless, would you actually let him go?

Gong Hongyun fell silent.

At that moment, he realized the flaw in his story!

“Now, tell me about your later testimony.”

Xiao Yu continued, “In your statement, you said that after leaving the victim’s home, you returned to your own. You claimed that you were so nervous, scared, and exhausted that you fell asleep?”

“…” Gong Hongyun remained silent.

“Impressive psychological endurance,” Xiao Yu remarked sarcastically.

Shaking his head, Xiao Yu added, “When I first heard you say that, something felt off. I assumed you might be faking blindness and had the guts to pull it off. But now, that flaw is glaringly obvious.”

“Someone who’s never been at a murder scene—no matter how tough mentally—walks into a crime scene, sees a corpse, and witnesses the victim’s gruesome state… how could you possibly fall asleep?”

“Fine. Even if your nerves are steel and you fell asleep, the next day the victim’s wife came to your house, persistently testing you?”

“Don’t you think you’re shooting yourself in the foot? Since you’re under suspicion, why not just kill her instead of playing games?”

“She could have killed you at the scene with her lover. Instead, she let you go. Isn’t that utterly absurd?”

…… (Request for flowers)…

Gong Hongyun: “…”

Sweat beaded on his forehead, soaking the bandages covering his eyes.

His body trembled as he gritted his teeth in silence.

“And you say you were knocked out? Isn’t that laughable?”

Xiao Yu sneered, “Since you know they committed the murder, and they even came looking for you, how could you afford to take your eyes off that woman when facing such ruthless killers?”

“What’s even more ridiculous is that you told me this woman knocked you out from behind with a hammer?”

“You dared turn your back on her, unprepared. Should I praise your nerve or call it out that you blatantly lied with your eyes wide open?”

…… 0

At that moment, the expression on Gong Hongyun’s face revealed nothing but inner tension and… fear.

“Now, tell me about how you woke up blind?”

Xiao Yu laughed and shook his head, “Did you hear three people talking about removing your organs, shouting at you?”

“Have you ever considered that if they were to remove your organs, they would have administered anesthesia beforehand?”

“Do you know that anyone who has been dosed—even if they wake up—wouldn’t be able to move for a while?”

“How did you manage to speak immediately? Is your body so resistant that it instantly overpowered the drug’s effect?”

“Alright, even if your body is that resilient…”

“Even more interesting, after you recounted your ordeal, it turns out that these three criminals belonged to the same gang as the victim—and the victim was their boss?”

“They kidnapped the boss’s sister-in-law and also lured the lover… What did you tell me before?”

“You said that three criminals attacked the lover, killing two, and that you helped another criminal finish him off?”

“Here’s another absurd question: Having just gone blind, how did you distinguish between the criminals and the lover?”

“As a blind man, how did you help the criminal kill the lover… Why are you so damn amazing?”

After Xiao Yu’s relentless questioning,

Gong Hongyun’s body trembled like a winnowing machine, leaving him speechless.
