As he spoke, he lifted his eyes and looked directly into Song Yi's bright ones: "What happened between you and Wu Wang last night?"
"Tell the truth." Tang Si added, "Confess and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be treated harshly."
He noticed Song Yi was suppressing something intensely, then smiled slightly and said, "Don't be afraid, as long as you're not the murderer, we won't do anything to you."
These words seemed comforting, yet were very distantly aloof.
Song Yi knew she had to speak; she wanted to get out of here quickly.
She licked her lips: "He tried to assault me, wanted me to be his girlfriend, I didn't agree, refused, and we had some argument."
"Did it get physical?"
"No."
"Then how do you explain his DNA found under his fingernails?"
His gaze fell on her fair-skinned arm: "He grabbed you, didn't he, Miss Song?"
He curled a faint cold smile at the corner of his lips, "I'll give you another chance, lying is not a good idea."
"I don't know how my forearm got injured; I didn't physically fight with him yesterday; it was just a verbal conflict."
Tang Si nodded lightly, leaning back into the chair, openly appraising her with his eyes.
"After a quiet investigation, we found Wu Wang harassed you more than once. Before this..." He licked his lips, his voice softly asking, "Did he ever 'bully' you?"
This implication was clear to Song Yi, and she answered immediately.
"No."
Tang Si squinted at her, seemingly judging the truthfulness of her words.
From those alluring eyes, Song Yi, however, saw distrust.
As if the next moment, words that would make her uncomfortable were about to spill out.
Song Yi pre-emptively struck: "I advise you to choose your words carefully. Without evidence, don't make random accusations, sir."
Soon after, she sneered: "Don't make me doubt your professional integrity already."
Tang Si slightly squinted his eyes; this woman certainly had a sharp tongue.
Song Yi composed herself, her aura was strong; after all, in the entertainment industry, she had encountered all kinds of people.
Tang Si smiled, nodded lightly, his gaze examining Song Yi, both wild and somewhat stern.
"If that's the case, then how does Miss Song explain the scratch marks on your arm? Is it that you cannot explain them, or have you not thought of the right wording?"
Song Yi was overwhelmed by Tang Si's interrogation style.
He was assertive and decisive, his voice lazy, his posture relaxed, yet every sentence pushed people into a corner.
His manner of interrogation was such that it could particularly stir emotions, using his speaking skills quite cleverly.
He could accurately grasp what Song Yi minded.
Sure enough, she was infuriated by his words that she laughed.
"I'm still a virgin!"
Tang Si raised an eyebrow, a touch of roguish laziness appearing.
Before he spoke, she continued, "Don't believe me, come check?"
The woman was naturally alluring, her skin delicate, proportions just right, a natural beauty with an attractive figure.
At the moment, she was curling her lips, squinting her eyes, smiling at Tang Si. Enticingly inviting.
For someone else, perhaps they would have been seduced.
But Tang Si remained indifferent, withdrew his gaze, face unmoved, laughed lightly, dusted off his clothes, looked up at her, the tone still calm: "That's not within my responsibility."
The recording officer: "..."
This astonishing conversation made the pen in his hand pause repeatedly. Should he record it or not?
Song Yi: "..."
Damn, is this man's mouth poisoned??? Those skills of hers causing men to blush were useless against him.
He even had logical deductions, hehe—!
What was the point of her saying that?
She must have been out of her mind.
Tang Si bowed his head, seeming to think the interrogation was sufficient, and closed his notebook.
"Miss Song, cooperate. The suspicion can't be cleared for now, spend the night here."
With that, he got up and left.
Indeed, without evidence, there was no progress in the interrogation.
Tang Si walked out of the interrogation room, Zhou Liang came out of the surveillance room, "Captain Tang, something's off with Song Yi, what is she afraid of, could she really be..."
...the real murderer?
