It has to be said that Shao Rong is smart. Her IQ, both before and after her rebirth, surpasses that of ordinary people. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to obtain the full - scholarship from the school where Miaomiao studied in both lifetimes.
But unfortunately, her experience is still lacking.
Shao Rong was right about one thing. She is now under fourteen years old, and the law cannot punish her. Even if there is conclusive evidence proving that she is guilty of intentional injury or even intentional homicide, it's still not possible.
However, Shao Rong doesn't know that in her current situation, this so - called legal protection is virtually useless.
Lin Yao smiled slightly, picked up the phone, and called Second Uncle Lin. "There's no need to check for fingerprints. The perpetrator has wiped them off. Check if there are any fabric fibers on the flower petals. I have a recording here. I'll encrypt and send it to you. You decide whether this case needs to be reported and encrypted for handling... Yes, it's the recording of the suspect. The content is roughly her confession of the crime. No, there was no inducement. Okay, that's it for now. I'll send the recording file to you."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yao encrypted and sent the recording to Second Uncle Lin. He also wrote an email, detailing the whole process of his rebirth while hiding the fact that Miaomiao might have time - traveled. He left the rest to Second Uncle Lin to decide and handle.
Lin Yao knew his family's character very well. They would never do anything that would harm the interests and safety of their own family members. So it was reasonable for him to tell Second Uncle Lin the secret of his rebirth.
The most important thing was that Lin Yao wanted to take this opportunity to completely eliminate the potential threat and scourge around Miaomiao.
Second Uncle Lin fell into deep thought after reading the email written by Lin Yao.
It's hard to say.
He wanted to believe, but he also dared not.
Second Uncle Lin knew that Lin Yao was not the kind of person who would joke about such things. However, what he described was so fantastic that it was hard to believe.
The recording, on the other hand, was solid evidence.
Second Uncle Lin had to attach great importance to it. He immediately ordered his subordinates to search for clues with great efforts and not to close the case casually.
Sure enough, after investigating in the direction Lin Yao had mentioned, a lot of tiny coarse - cloth fibers were detected on the petals of the tuberose.
These fibers were scraps from the inferior cotton used in low - quality clothes. Nowadays, clothes that cost a hundred or so yuan generally wouldn't have such quality problems. So the scope of suspects was quickly narrowed down.
The residue left by modern - processed items was found in the undeveloped woods. It must have been done by someone from the school.
In a noble school, how many people would wear low - quality fabrics?
In line with the rigorous attitude of handling cases, Second Uncle Lin decisively invited Wei Ziqi and Shao Rong to the police station.
Before there was conclusive evidence, everyone was a suspect, and no one should be treated differently.
"Little friend Wei Ziqi, now Uncle Policeman is going to ask you a few questions. You must answer them truthfully, okay?"
The interrogation room was dimly lit. Wei Ziqi sat calmly on the chair and nodded slightly. The young policeman in charge of him couldn't help but admire. Whether it was an adult or a child, except for those who worked here, anyone who entered this place would feel scared. It was rare to see someone so calm.
Wei Ziqi and Shao Rong were investigated separately but simultaneously. On one side, there was a calm and flawless statement, while on the other side, there were lies told in a flustered and disorderly manner.
The contrast couldn't be more obvious.
Soon, Wei Ziqi was sent home, while Shao Rong became the key object of observation.
Looking at Shao Rong's interrogation record and thinking of what Lin Yao had said, Second Uncle Lin already believed about 70 - 80% of it. Then, Second Uncle Lin dismissed everyone and left only himself and Shao Rong in the room. He played the recording evidence provided by Lin Yao.
After hearing the recording, Shao Rong's face turned green. Except for the time when Han Shuo recognized her and she went to Han Shuo's house once, she never went there again.
The second time was last night.
She never expected that Han Shuo would deliberately move and become Miaomiao's neighbor.
That was bad enough, but the study was built on the side of the outside corridor. Their conversation was completely exposed!
Shao Rong knew that she was completely under surveillance. There was no point in arguing, so she simply closed her mouth and said nothing. It was safer that way.
Second Uncle Lin failed to get a confession from Shao Rong, so he sent a message to Lin Yao.
Lin Yao rushed over quickly. He walked into the interrogation room and had a face - to - face conversation with Shao Rong for the first time.
It was a bit ridiculous. He was meeting for the first time the enemy who had wanted to harm Miaomiao in both lifetimes.
"Who are you?" Shao Rong also saw Lin Yao for the first time. Before, she had only heard of his name but never seen him. After Lin Yao walked in, she didn't recognize him at all.
"I'm Lin Miaomiao's father."
"Hehe, here to scold me? Whatever. Anyway, I'm under fourteen years old. What can you do to me?" Hearing Lin Yao's self - introduction, Shao Rong was stunned for a moment, then laughed arrogantly.
The miserable experiences in the second half of her previous life had made her suffer so much. She always thought it was revenge from Lin Yao.
Bad memories instantly flooded her mind. At this moment, Shao Rong didn't care about the so - called "silence is golden" anymore. Seeing her enemy, she just wanted to shout and mock, like a paper tiger that still showed its teeth and claws after being defeated.
"Hehe, do you really think I can do nothing to you?" Lin Yao found it rather ridiculous. He wondered where this little girl got her confidence.
"Yes, of course you can. You're rich and powerful. You must have many ways to deal with me. I don't really care. But if you retaliate against a minor, no matter how you look at it, you'll be the one who ends up in prison for a long time. I don't care if I die. If I can take you down with me before I die, I'll even laugh in my afterlife."
"No, no, no. I'm a law - abiding citizen. What do death and revenge have to do with me?" Lin Yao smiled gently, sat lazily on the chair, his eyes cold, and his smile not reaching his eyes.
Shao Rong felt like a prey targeted by a cold and venomous snake. This look made her tremble. She even wanted to jump up and run away immediately. Her scalp went numb.
But she knew she couldn't show weakness now. If she did, she would have no way out.
"Fine, Mr. Law - abiding Citizen. Then just watch me go free."
"No, that's impossible. For minors under fourteen who commit crimes, the main approach is education. Those who commit serious intentional homicide need to be jointly supervised by the public security organs and their parents. They are free in terms of personal freedom, but you may not think so."
"What do you mean?" Shao Rong stopped acting like a person who didn't care. Lin Yao must have meant more than just reciting the legal regulations to her.
There must be something else behind it.
Lin Yao slowly stood up, placed his hands on the table, leaned forward, and looked down at Shao Rong. "Child, you're still too naive."
