Chapter 1577 — The Strange Proposal

"Who exactly is this person? What's his goal?" Wei Zhao furrowed his brow at Liu Wangli's words. He had already heard from Gu Mengyao about the overall circumstances of the case. As Liu Wangli had said, this individual was exceptionally cunning — leaving no fingerprints during the crime indicated a cautious, meticulous person. Could someone like that really use such a conspicuous getaway vehicle? And with license plate tt000, no less — wasn't that just inviting discovery by the police?
The whole thing was riddled with contradictions!
"After our analysis, we believe this person's goal may have been to frame you!" Liu Wangli said. "He went from concealing his face initially to gradually revealing his features and his getaway vehicle — he was exposing his purpose step by step! And since he already exposed himself yet still left no fingerprints at the scene, that tells us one thing: he can't imitate your fingerprints!"
"That's what I thought as well. This person wants to frame me — but whose side is he on?" Wei Zhao frowned, unable to fathom who would resort to such a crude scheme to bring him down.
"That's not clear yet, but beyond framing you, this person has also robbed several banks, jewelry stores, shopping centers, and hotels in Songshan City, making off with a fortune in valuables," Liu Wangli said.
"Oh? Has the interrogation yielded any results?" Wei Zhao asked.
"I had planned to come find you tomorrow, since your exams end today — I didn't expect you to show up today..." Yang Huaijun said with a bitter smile. "The suspect is currently in the hospital... but..."
"I only broke his limbs — that shouldn't affect his ability to speak, should it?" Wei Zhao asked.
"That it doesn't..." Yang Huaijun said. "But the key problem is, this man currently seems like an imbecile — his eyes are blank, he gives no response to anything we ask him, as though he hasn't heard us..."
"What happened?" Wei Zhao frowned and replayed the scene in his memory. He didn't seem to have struck the fake Wei Zhao's head at all — and besides, the impostor had already seemed off when Wei Zhao first made his move.
"When we asked him questions, his brainwave activity showed no change whatsoever — meaning he didn't hear our questions at all. The doctors have examined him carefully as well. His brain has been damaged by drugs, leaving him essentially in a vegetative state..." Yang Huaijun said with a bitter smile. "The man is, in fact, nothing but an idiot..."
"What?" Wei Zhao was stunned. "An idiot? Then before all this..."
"We've had a specialist in brain medicine examine him. He says the man's earlier behavior may have been the result of being hypnotized by an extraordinarily skilled hypnotist, carrying out only pre-programmed commands — but that would be quite a difficult thing to achieve..." Yang Huaijun said with a bitter smile. "The reason I wanted to find you was to ask: do you have any confidence you could cure this man?"
