Quick Transmigration Cannon Fodder's Record of Counterattacks - C.2719: Cheng Fei Really Knew How to Play This Game, Didn’t He?

Ning Shu tucked Cheng Fei in. She then released her spiritual consciousness and scanned the surroundings to see if there were any cameras.

As expected, there was one in the ward.

“Hurry up.” The police came in and pulled Ning Shu out, then closed the door.

“Cheng Fei is still a criminal suspect, so you can’t casually visit him yet. Not to mention that he is unstable mentally.”

Who knew when he’d go off suddenly?

Ning Shu was pulled out of the room before she could do anything.

“Then, are you going to transfer him to the psychiatric department?” Ning Shu asked.

“We are already asking for further instructions. Cheng Fei’s situation demands he be transferred to the psychiatric department, so the doctors there can examine him.”

Ning Shu inwardly sighed. At this rate, they’d identify that he was mentally ill.

Cheng Fei really knew how to play this game, didn’t he?

Sure enough, he wanted to avoid punishment with the insanity plea.

Wanting to fossilize a person was abnormal enough. That combined with the fact that he showed such strong belief in fallacious reasoning…

It’d be really easy for him to get diagnosed with insanity.

Ning Shu turned around and left the hospital.

Professor Ai and Mother Ai were already waiting for her. Professor Ai asked her, “How is Cheng Fei?”

Ning Shu sat on the sofa and massaged her temple. “He overdosed on antidepressants.”

“Isn’t he a doctor? How could he not know how much medicine he should take?”

Even Mother Ai felt that something was fishy here.

Ning Shu spread her hands. “Worse thing is, Cheng Fei does seem to be mentally ill. He’s going to be transferred to the psychiatric department.

“Once he’s diagnosed as mentally ill, he will be sent to a psychiatric hospital. Once that happens, we can just forget about the attempted murder charge.”

Professor Ai frowned. “Even if he’s insane, Cheng Fei was fully conscious at the time of the crime. He was able to control what he did. He still has to bear responsibility for his crime.”

“That’ll depend on what the jury thinks.”

In fact, even if Cheng Fei didn’t get diagnosed with insanity, the situation was still very unfavorable for them.

If he wasn’t diagnosed with it, Cheng Fei would only get five years in prison. If he was, he’d be forcibly put into a psychiatric hospital by the government, but he’d still be able to get out after he got better.

He’d have to bear no criminal responsibility whatsoever.

Ning Shu pounded her chest. She felt so much frustration she almost felt sick from holding it in.

Ning Shu said to Mother Ai, “Mom, I’m hungry. Let’s eat first.”

She felt exhausted. She’d been running around all day. Although she wasn’t physically tired, she was mentally spent.

She felt really powerless too.

Mother Ai was not in the mood to cook, so she just made three bowls of tasteless noodles.

While they were eating noodles, Mother Ai suddenly said, “If Cheng Fei really gets diagnosed with psychopathy, doesn’t that mean that he’s always had it, and just pretended to be normal in front of us before?”

Ning Shu: …

Professor Ai: …

Even if Cheng Fei was not crazy, he was still a psychopath. No normal man would think of fossilizing his own wife.

“Cheng Fei has always been planning this from the start,” Professor Ai said. “The only reason that Ai Yun is still alive is because he was still practicing his amber-making skill.

“Now that he’s become more proficient at it, and Ai Yun just happened to want to get divorced, he probably sensed our suspicion and decided to carry out his plan.”

Mother Ai’s complexion changed. She squeezed her chopsticks tightly and said, “What should we do? Can we tell the police about this?”

“The main problem is evidence. Without evidence, everything is just speculation.” Ning Shu spread her hands. “Cheng Fei is too vigilant. I wasn’t able to get a hold of any strong evidence.”

The case of Cheng Fei’s adoptive family’s death happened more than ten years ago. It’d be very difficult to reopen the case.

Nothing had been discovered at the time, and the family of three were now skeletons in the ground.

No one would want to waste energy on such an old international case.

Ning Shu didn’t think that Cheng Fei would leave any useful evidence behind anyway.
