I have no pheromones, you smelled wrong

"So the 'huge fraud' you mentioned refers to defrauding the inheritance?" Lin Xu asked back, "I think you may have misunderstood something, until, until after Marlene died, her husband and estate lawyer showed me her I only knew that she left half of the estate to me."

"Lin Xu, don't pretend to be innocent in front of me anymore." Merck opened the stool again and sat down, resting his elbows on the table, leaning forward to look at Lin Xu, "Yes, I know, the relationship between you and Ms. The relationship between the two was good, but a year ago, the variables appeared, and you felt threatened."

Lin Xu looked at Merck calmly, wanting to hear what strange inferences he could spit out.

"Marianna was pregnant at the time."

"Yes, she told me the news a few days before the banquet."

Lin Xu's calmness made Merck a little annoyed. The man in front of him was so calm that he couldn't get into it. Merck felt frustrated for a while, but he quickly regained his energy: "Ms. Purser's first version of the will left half of the inheritance to Her legal partner left half to you, but after having her own children, she changed her will again, and your share became a quarter,

"Ms. Purser's inheritance is huge. Even if it is only one-tenth, it will make people fight over their heads."

"You're just using your own thoughts to speculate on me, Detective Inspector Merck." Lin Xu replied, "As I said, I didn't know that Marlene left part of her estate to me until after she died."

"Lin Xu, please don't make false statements, the evidence will explain everything."

Lin Xu knew that he hadn't done anything. From this perspective, Merck's certainty was almost a kind of stupid conceit, but it was impossible for him to be the chief inspector of the Capital Star Police Department just by relying on his brain. A fool who speculates on the case.

Strange...Lin Xu was basically sure that those people had caused him trouble from beginning to end, but why did the emperor behind the scenes choose the idiot Merck?

Lin Xu lowered his eyes, tilted his head slightly, and meditated. Merck leaned back on the back of the chair again, just like this deadlocked with Lin Xu.

The air in the interrogation room moved slowly.

Suddenly, Lin Xuwu's gray eyes looked straight at him, and asked in a cold tone, "Why do you speculate that Marlene Anna allocated a quarter of the inheritance to me?"

Merck might have guessed from Marlene's pregnancy that she would revise her will, and imagined that Lin Xu would kill someone in anger because of it, but how could it be specific to the amount of "a quarter"?

"Because we found Ms. Purser's real will and evidence of your tampering with it, how else do you think I got a warrant from the prosecutor?" Merck said, "You can plead not guilty, but all this They will all be presented to the judge as evidence in court, and he will decide your guilt. So, you'd better now..."

Before Merck finished speaking, the doorbell of the interrogation room rang, and he had to stop and look towards the door.

The police officer under him opened the door and let a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes walk in with a briefcase. Merke's heart sank. Lin Xu's lawyer came, and the questioning would become extremely troublesome.

Sure enough, as soon as Metz stepped into the door of the interrogation room, he saw Merck's stinky face and immediately said: "Detective Chief Merck, I really hope that I don't have to take another case of prosecuting the chief inspector for extorting a confession."

Merk said, "Mr. Metz, right? You don't have to worry, your client is sitting here intact and I'm just talking to him."

"I hope so." Metz maintained a professional attitude, "Detective Inspector Merck, I want to have a private chat with my client."

According to regulations, they have this right. Merck had no choice but to stand up on the table, and when he passed by Metz, Metz said again: "The police inspector can help us turn off the recorder. I hope the police station can guarantee my safety." the privacy of the parties.”

"Understood." Merck slammed the door heavily.

Metz stood and waited for a while, and after confirming that the recorder on the ceiling indicated that the light was off, he dragged a chair from a corner and sat beside Lin Xu.

Metz: "Dr. Lin, do you know what's going on now?"

Lin Xu didn't need to pretend to be in front of Metz like he did to Merck. He hesitated for a while, looked at Metz and shook his head: "Merke thinks that I am the mastermind behind the murder of Marianne a year ago. Compete for Marianna's huge inheritance."

Next, Metz stared at Lin Xu and said seriously: "Dr. Lin, I hope you can answer the next question honestly, which is related to our next corresponding strategy.

"Have you really coveted Marlene Purser's property and participated in her murder, even if only a little bit, or have you mentioned this idea to others without actually doing it?"

Lin Xu replied decisively: "No."

Metz looked at Lin Xu for three seconds with eyes that had settled down to this year, and after confirming that Lin Xu had no hidden panic, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to frown: "But the police have very definite evidence. I received your call, hurry up Before coming to the police station, I asked someone to help me get the details submitted by Merck when he applied for an arrest warrant from the prosecutor.

"I haven't seen the actual evidence, but I roughly understand that they have two wills before and after the tampering, your revision records, and evidence of your contact with the two killers. Dr. Lin, do you think of any special circumstances? "

Lin Xu repeated his situation to Metz, "Mr. Metz, I didn't see Marianne's estate distribution statement until after she died. Before that, I didn't know that she would leave half of her property. For me, after returning to the capital planet from the ancient earth, I saw the original will in her vault. There is only one version, and there has never been a second copy. She may want to modify the will for her children, but she has not had time yet.

"As for the two killers, I investigated them, but I didn't know until some time ago that they were hired killers from the dark web. I had contact with their bosses."

Metz paused for a moment: "...So, there is indeed a problem with the conclusion of the case at that time. Do you know who is the real culprit behind the scenes?"

"Well, I know..." Lin Xu's expression was a little complicated, he didn't know how much to tell Metz, "It's... some nobles." He didn't directly name the emperor.

"Then this time..."

"It should be their framing, and the joint report is also their handwriting."

"I remember, at the banquet where Ms. Purse was assassinated, you were almost hit by bullets. They also wanted to kill you?"

"Yes."

"why?"

Lin Xu didn't answer this question.

Metz watched him fall silent, consciously stopped asking, and skipped to the next question: "Why did they use framing instead of framing?"

"They want to prevent me from saying certain things. Killing people is the fastest and cleanest way, but it's not the only way. It's also a way to make people stop believing what I say." Lin Xu listened and finally added: " They are afraid of Heinrich and dare not kill me directly."

Marlene's parents are both dead, and she has no other close blood relatives. Most of the people she associates with are helpless scholars or business people. Her only husband, Chen Jingshan, was only a lieutenant colonel at the time, and there was no threat. Assassinate Marlene Anna without hesitation, and after covering up everything, no one will have the ability to cause trouble.

But Lin Xu is different now.

Heinrich Chu holds the entire elite fleet of the empire. If he is still dissatisfied with the results of the investigation after killing Lin Xu, he can mobilize various forces to pressure the empire to continue the investigation, or investigate it himself.

At that time, Marshal Chu and they might have a tearful relationship.

But if he didn't kill Lin Xu with his own power, but chose to try him with the imperial law, no matter how powerful Heinrich was in his hands, it was impossible for Heinrich to challenge the well-documented legal verdict.

Public opinion and public opinion will only turn against him.

Unless Heinrich rebelled against the country for this reason, the result of the trial of the Supreme Court of the Empire will be Lin Xu's final fate.

Metz also realized this from Lin Xu's unfinished words.

But it's not that there is no way out... Lin Xu doesn't need to confront them head-on with force, he just needs to prove his innocence.

Lin Xu continued: "Mr. Metz, you can go to Marlene Anna's estate lawyer, Patterson, for questions about the will. The boss of the two killers is called Povazier, and he can be found on the dark web. I'm not sure about the police. What kind of evidence is produced in this regard, it may be that he is used as a tainted witness, or it may be forged transaction records."

"I'll figure it out," Metz said.

"One more thing." Lin Xu said, "My child Yuanxiao Valantris is at Colonel Arnold's. Please tell him to let him take care of me for a while longer."

After Metz left, Merck came in and wanted to get something out of Lin Xu's mouth, but he was far behind Lin Xu in terms of verbal skills, and in the end he didn't get any useful information.

He couldn't keep Lin Xu in the interrogation room all the time, so he had to be sent to the detention room.

This is the first time Lin Xu has seen a detention room in the interstellar era.

This is a completely pure white enclosed space. The vents are set at the gap between the ceiling and the four walls, only finger width, completely cutting off all possibility of escape.

There are fixed beds, chairs and small tables in the space, and the bathroom facilities are separated behind by an unclosed wall.

Lin Xu stayed here for two days. Metz came to see him once and told him that Heinrich already knew about this matter and was trying to find a way. He applied for temporary bail for Lin Xu, but was rejected by the relevant parties.

The prosecutor filed a public prosecution against Lin Xu, and the Supreme Court of the Empire has accepted the case, and the first court session will be held in a week.

Metz's investigation found that Merck had a video record in which Lin Xu entered Marlene's vault and touched the will record chip.

The video is real.

However, the police also found the so-called traces of modification erased by Lin Xu in the will record chip.

According to common sense, once this kind of recording chip is modified, it will leave traces, but it is not impossible to cover it up. The police found the "second version" of the will under the "cover up".

The modification time coincided with the time when Lin Xu entered the vault.

No matter how sophisticated electronic creations are, there are loopholes that can be deceived.

Metz was trying to find the right technical staff to find evidence that the "second edition" will was a genuine forgery.

Povaguier is still in touch.

Ding--

A small opening appeared on the white wall, and a tube of nutrition was sent in through the small opening.

Lin Xu wasn't very hungry before, so he didn't drink all the time, but now he thinks he can drink some to replenish his strength.

He took the nutritional supplement and sat at the table, unscrewed the cap and took a sip. For a moment, the taste of chemical synthesis seemed to abuse his tongue.

While twisting the cap of the nutrient supplement, Lin Xu wanted to use his ability to summon a ball of water to wash away the strange smell in his mouth, but he tried several times, but no drop of water appeared in front of him.

what happened?

The accident made Lin Xu forget the chemical residue in his mouth instantly. He tried to summon flames, or tear time and space, but failed.

He walked into the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and pointed his hand at the water flow. The clean water was still flowing, without any intention of changing the state of his will.

Lin Xu's lips were tightened at this moment, and he stepped back a few steps, controlling the mermaid's sharp claws from his fingertips.

The sharp claws had a metallic luster, and the sharp edges left bloodstains as soon as they touched Lin Xu's arm.

After more than ten seconds, the bloodstains healed, and the arms were washed under the stream of water, and the bloodstains disappeared.

Lin Xu raised his head, and a pair of gray eyes were clearly reflected in the mirror. The color was light, but the edges were blurred, as if blocked by a layer of fog, and the end could not be seen.

His mermaid form and zombie mutant physique have not disappeared, and the energy in his body remains in a sufficient state.

However, the ability disappeared.
