"That is exactly why I said he is a psychopath who wants to provoke the police, so he lays false trails to leave you bewildered!" Wang Hekan said. "That way you will fall into the criminal suspect's reverse thinking, and when even you feel he cannot be the criminal suspect and that someone else must have framed him on purpose, his goal is achieved! As for where to find someone resembling Wei Zhao, that is even easier to explain. Since even you assume someone framed Wei Zhao by finding a look-alike to impersonate him, why could Wei Zhao himself not find a look-alike to impersonate him?"
"..." Qiu Lingshan truly did not know what to say. Yet for all that, Wang Hekan's words could not be refuted. The possibility was small, but small did not mean nonexistent.
"I make sense, do I not?" Wang Hekan said smugly. "Do not forget, I am a famous great detective. No matter how cunning the criminal suspect, he cannot escape my piercing eyes!"
"By your logic, you have decided Wei Zhao is the criminal suspect?" Qiu Lingshan asked.
"All I can say is that the evidence you presented only highlights how abnormal Wei Zhao is, and further confirms the likelihood that he is the criminal suspect. If it was fifty percent before, it is eighty percent now!" Wang Hekan said. "I propose we begin issuing a wanted order for Wei Zhao at once!"
"It is too early to speak of a wanted order. Without conclusive evidence, it cannot be done," Yang Huaijun said at this point. "We do not even know the criminal suspect's face yet. To order Wei Zhao wanted now would be far too rash."
"I was only making a suggestion anyway." Seeing that Yang Huaijun had made the final call, Wang Hekan had no choice but to say so.
Just as all the evidence in Songshan City began to turn against Wei Zhao, Wei Zhao himself returned to the inn in Ice Snow Spirit Town.
To Wei Zhao's surprise, Zhao Qilei had not left, but had been waiting for him at the inn all along! The moment Wei Zhao stepped onto the square before the inn, Zhao Qilei rushed out from inside to greet him!
It seemed he watched Wei Zhao's movements every day without pause, which must have been quite an effort for the fellow.
"Brother Ling, you are finally back! I have been so worried about you. If I were not in awe of the Ice Palace's power, I would have gone up to look for you!" Zhao Qilei said to Wei Zhao with boundless enthusiasm.
"Heh..." Wei Zhao smiled faintly, naturally not believing a word of Zhao Qilei's nonsense. "That must have been hard for you. You waited for me, is there something you want?"
"Nothing in particular. It is just that I heard of your true identity..." At this point Zhao Qilei lowered his voice. He did not know whether the Ice Palace knew Wei Zhao's true identity, so in public he still addressed Wei Zhao as Brother Ling.
