Simulated Crime, This Criminal Doesn’t Seem to Be Acting

Yesterday, after the office head finished her call, she immediately dialed Ye Sangsang's number.

The main purpose was to inform her about the rules regarding privacy and cases at Star Ring Games. Using someone else's privacy and case details always comes at a cost. Sometimes, if the family doesn't require economic compensation and the case has strong representative characteristics, they will try to convince the other party to agree.

Shen Jianghe and Jiang Qiuyu were like this. Seeing their daughter reappear in the game and relive that nightmare filled them with heartache, and they couldn't bear to let their daughter endure that suffering.

Even offering the condition that the full-immersion game might help find the murderer couldn't sway them.

So, Star Ring agreed that as long as they agreed, they would arrange NPC roles for them in cases where they could solve the case and find the murderer, allowing them to truly meet their daughter. After the public testing phase, they could also choose a specific copy to visit their daughter.

Originally, the couple had been wavering, but when they heard about this two-in-one solution, they quickly agreed.

However, Star Ring Games hadn't informed Ye Sangsang about this.

Just as Jiang Qiuyu felt it was an intrusion, this action was also an invasion of the game players' rights.

"They expressed their apologies and will send a gift as compensation," she thought for a moment and added, "They also just found out you entered that copy and managed to escape successfully. They've given full authorization for the case, including all privacy rights, to uncover the truth, which is why they joined the game."

Ye Sangsang could tell the other party was speaking on behalf of Star Ring and directly asked, "What benefit did Star Ring offer?"

"Hahaha, you can't fool you, can you? Star Ring offered some convenience, enough for you to earn two to three million. I think it's quite a deal." The head of the department laughed, knowing that she would also receive a share of the reward for her efforts.

Ye Sangsang hummed in acknowledgment, then said again, "That's good. Have you communicated with the lawyer?"

"The evidence collection is almost complete, and we'll soon restart the case," the head of the department replied seriously, her tone firm.

Ye Sangsang nodded to indicate she understood. After discussing a few more issues, they ended the call.

After hanging up, she thought about Star Ring. Star Ring wasn't just apologizing and compensating for in-game issues but also because of Ye Sangsang's previous refund and her current influence during the game's closed beta.

"Crime Files" is currently the only full-immersion game. From the start to the end of the closed beta, the game needs influencers like Ye Sangsang.

They can promote the game and attract many people to truly fall in love with it.

So, two to three million is not much for promotion, just a small gesture for Star Ring.

After the call, it was precisely eight in the morning.

Having breakfast and taking her medication, Ye Sangsang began her psychiatric hospital rehabilitation life.

She checked online for information about the case, finding that there was still no result. It seemed they needed to figure out where the person had gone into hiding.

However, Ye Sangsang believed the time wouldn't be too long.

Though she thought this, Ye Sangsang didn't expect life to be so dramatic.

That afternoon, the person was found.

Bad news: only one was found.

Good news: only one was left.

The reason was a travel blogger who drove from Wan City to a coastal city.

Unexpectedly, he had a flat tire near a repair shop on the national highway, and his vehicle needed repair. This situation, for a travel blogger, was like a godsend for creating content. So, without hesitation, he took out his filming equipment for a complete recording, waiting to edit and publish it later, sure to attract views.

Because he was close to the repair shop, he walked over to ask for help towing the car for repairs.

The repair shop owner agreed promptly, driving the blogger to tow the car and then repair it.

The repair shop owner wasn't very talkative, so the blogger sat aside using his portable decoration camera to film while chatting with the owner.

The shop was a husband-and-wife business with only two people. After the repair was done, although it was a bit pricey, the blogger thought it would be more troublesome to fix it elsewhere, so he paid up happily.

Then the blogger drove on the road and started a live stream, complaining about the incident and stating he would quickly release the edited video.

To help fans avoid such places, and for the sake of views, he posted the video yesterday afternoon.

The fans were furious, though only in the comment section, and the blogger also urged them not to cyberbully.

Until Ye Sangsang's previous copy was concluded, some of her fans followed the travel blogger.

Through the dense stubble and haggard appearance, she recognized the one who had made her grind her teeth with hatred for two nights!

Paraphrasing Ye Sangsang, it was like saying, "I'd recognize you even if you turned to ash!"

After recognizing him, she feared alerting him, so she didn't mention it in the comments.

Instead, she privately messaged the travel blogger.

With only eighty thousand followers, the blogger's private messages weren't numerous, so he quickly saw her message.

After exchanging contact details and discussing it, the blogger drove back to the city, then directly reported to the police!

Ye Sangsang's fan base was already considerable, with live stream viewership peaking at over three hundred thousand, and the video views reaching at least five or six million, drawing significant attention from the local police.

After observation and surveillance, the police swiftly arrested him.

The case mastermind: Qiu Fu.

When arrested, even with the blogger's video being pixelated, there was an evident look of surprise.

The blogger confirmed it and felt nothing but relief.

Thankfully, he hadn't entangled, or he might have been killed.

The blogger had to follow the police to the station to record a confession and was then let go.

The police quickly questioned him, and he confessed rapidly, admitting to killing Shen Lingling and Chen Yu and also robbing a bank's armored truck.

Perhaps knowing he faced the death penalty, he embraced his fate. He also confessed to killing Lin Deqiang, Wang Lao'er, and Zhao Hong due to unequal distribution of the loot.

Back then, he had infiltrated the local organ donation management organization, obtaining some basic information.

He chose to kill Shen Lingling because he felt among those people, she was the easiest to target.

Moreover, he envied her for living a good life, unlike him, who, due to a minor mistake, had to leave his hometown.

Unfortunately, the heavens are just.

He killed Shen Lingling, but her heart went to someone else.

Because his son, who he had been yearning for, fell ill again, leading to a rapid deterioration of his heart condition.

When Shen Lingling's parents agreed to donate her heart, his son had just passed away after failing to be rescued.

All his desires went to nothing.

After robbing the armored truck, he disguised himself and fled with the other three.

He lived a good life for a while, then discovered he had kidney disease and spent all his money.

A life without money was hard, so he gradually contacted them and deceived them into being killed.

The corpses were buried under the repair shop.

These years, due to his kidney disease, he had no other children. His wife colluded with him. He was afraid she would run away, so he kept her under close watch, not allowing her to leave.

He had been hiding and trembling, plagued by physical pain, for twenty-three years.

He waited for the day of his death penalty announcement.

The case announcement was quickly issued, and countless people were shocked.

Many even lamented that perhaps this was retribution, a lifetime of grasping but unable to hold onto anything.

From the moment he chose to do evil.

He gained one thing while losing even more.

He got the chance to be with his mistress, fleeing his hometown, yet he lost the dream-like family and job.

He schemed to get Shen Lingling's heart, yet right at the crucial moment, his son died.

After robbing the armored truck, he soon developed kidney disease, spending all his savings, unable to be cured for the rest of his life.

Netizens commented, isn't this a kind of retribution?

Ye Sangsang happened to see this comment and smiled in agreement.

Yes, sometimes, when you choose the wrong thing and take the wrong path, you need to consider whether you can truly endure the unbearable pain.

Those fugitives, as long as there is someone tracking them, will never have a day of peace.

After closing the news on her tablet, Ye Sangsang looked at the rehabilitation doctor who had just walked in.

He had probably also seen the news and sighed with a smile, saying, "Dislocating and resetting your shoulder was really worth it. You're also really good at enduring pain."

As a rehabilitation doctor, he understood the pain more than anyone else.

"Thanks for the compliment," Ye Sangsang sat up, "If you could reduce my rehabilitation time a bit, that would be even better."

The rehabilitation doctor quickly shook his head, firmly rejecting Ye Sangsang's request.

Ye Sangsang was pushed into the specially built rehabilitation room. Passing by the nurse station, she felt some different looks than usual.

There was a sense of complexity, as if the wrong skill had been applied in the right place, a sense of complexity that was hard to describe.

Ye Sangsang didn't mind and continued with her rehabilitation as usual.

It was around noon when she received a bouquet of flowers.

The flowers were on behalf of Shen Lingling's parents, sent by the Star Ring Game.

The flowers were sunflowers, looking quite nice, accompanied by a card with a message of thanks.

Ye Sangsang tucked the card away and placed the flowers to the side.

Perhaps her mother would like them; she might burn them for her to see.

After washing up and having her meal, Ye Sangsang read a book for a while until it was time for bed. As usual, she entered the game on schedule.

Compared to the previous dungeon, this time the number of players had clearly increased again.

In addition to compliments about her beauty and inquiries about the next dungeon, the rest revolved around the previous dungeon.

Ye Sangsang answered that she had seen the outcome and, unperturbed, began the next dungeon.

Thinking of the benefits from the Star Ring Game, Ye Sangsang chose a random dungeon.

[I wonder what's next.]

[Please don't be too intense; my heart can't take it, but I love watching.]

[If you can't handle it, you should see a doctor early (winking emoji).]

The live stream watched as Ye Sangsang clicked on the random dungeon, and the comments began to flood in, filled with curiosity and excitement.

Soon, the screen darkened, then dimmed further.

What first appeared before the audience's eyes was a steel door.

A police officer in uniform opened the door, gesturing for the protagonist to enter.

The protagonist hesitated for a moment before stepping inside.

[Where is this?]

[A prison? Did our Sis Sang start in prison?]

[Quick, show the dungeon start prompt! I'm curious! What's going on? Uh, looking at the background, it's not a prison, it's a detention center. Don’t ask me how I know.]

Then came the second door, the third door.

After four doors, the perspective finally stopped.

"Visitation room. Please enter," the police officer who had been guiding Ye Sangsang finally said.

Ye Sangsang raised her hand; no handcuffs were visible, suggesting she was not the one being held.

Anyone who has been in a detention center knows that besides police officers and detainees, there is one other profession that can enter here:

A lawyer.

Was she now a lawyer?

Perhaps sensing the time was right, the dungeon prompt finally appeared.

[Player, welcome to the game. Please follow the game's rules and begin the dungeon of "Truth."]

[Your identity card has been drawn.]

[Investigator]

[In this dungeon, you must uncover who the real culprit is.]

A lawyer—an investigator?

Ye Sangsang was momentarily stunned, then realized that the legal profession, especially criminal defense lawyers, indeed requires some investigative skills.

They need psychological skills, an understanding of human nature, and insight into life.

They must unravel the truths they seek from the true and false statements of their clients, who speak from their own perspectives, before moving on to the main subject.

From a certain angle, they can indeed take on the role of an investigator.

Uncover who the real murderer is.

Ye Sangsang lowered her gaze and gracefully took a seat in the visitation room.

Taking advantage of the time before the person she needed to meet arrived, she began to carefully review the case files.

In this dungeon, her name was Qi Qin, gender male, and her current identity was a 41-year-old man.

She had been practicing criminal defense for thirteen years, making her one of the top lawyers in Qi City.

Despite being an middle-aged man, Ye Sangsang could tell from the meticulousness of his tie and cuffs, as well as the lack of a prominent belly, that he was extremely disciplined and serious.

Judging by his appearance in the file, he had an elegant and steady presence, with a sharp edge to him.

The description of his personality and habits in the file matched her impression.

The defendant in this case was a 35-year-old man named Wang Ziyang, one of the deputy general managers of a construction company.

He was accused by the police of reckless driving and causing serious injury due to negligence.

In a drunken state, he had nearly run over a girl crossing the road.

His family had hired Qi Qin in an attempt to reduce his sentence and secure the lightest punishment possible.

Today was the first meeting between Qi Qin and Wang Ziyang.

After quickly reading through all the files, Ye Sangsang's gaze followed the detention center police officer as he led the man, shackled and looking downcast, into the room.

She fixed her eyes on him after he sat down.

"Hello, I am your lawyer, Qi Qin. You can call me Lawyer Qi," Ye Sangsang began, her voice slightly magnetic and reassuring, and as she spoke, she reached out her hand.

The other side showed no intention of shaking hands. In the simple gray-black decor of the visitation room, his mood seemed to have sunk even lower.

Ye Sangsang glanced at the watch on her wrist, then withdrew her hand and placed both hands on the table, looking at the young man across from her. "The time for the visit is limited. You can tell me what you need, and next time I can bring it to you. I can also pass on any messages to your family."

"Also, I need to understand the circumstances of the incident to better understand the case."

After Ye Sangsang finished speaking, the other side fell silent.

After a while, Wang Ziyang slowly spoke, "The incident is just as you know. I was driving drunk and nearly killed a girl. Don't waste your effort; I did it, and I admit it."

His face showed a mixture of dejection and discomfort from being in the detention center.

[Ah? He just admits it outright; what's there to investigate about this case?]

[Naive. Whenever there's such a case, there's always a twist. Otherwise, why would "Crime Files" include it and make it into a full-dive game? Their full-dive game costs are not low.]

[Being a lawyer as an investigator, this role is quite novel, but I wonder what the case is actually about.]

The live streaming chat (or) the live chat was lively with speculation about the case.

Ye Sangsang, however, remained silent, gazing at him, as she was unfamiliar with many details of the case and didn't speak rashly.

But now that she was in the role of a lawyer, she had to say what needed to be said.

She said, "Even if you admit it, you still need to explain the situation. It wouldn't be right for me as a lawyer not to earn my fee."

Hearing Ye Sangsang's words, Wang Ziyang lifted his head, revealing the pale, downcast face beneath.

Earlier, with his head bowed, his features were not clear, but now that he had raised his head, the viewers were taken aback.

His looks could be described as strikingly handsome, with somewhat androgynous features, pale skin, and a melancholy air that, despite the faint stubble on his chin, drew attention.

[Wow... He's got a handsome face.]

[This look is a bit captivating, and his aura is a bit heart-wrenching.]

[I thought he looked good from the side when he was bowed before; the front view confirms it.]

Ye Sangsang raised her eyes, showing a slight look of surprise on her face.

"Well, I'll tell you then," he sighed, "Though I don't think there's much to say, but I don't exactly feel like returning to the detention center right now." He began to recount the accident that landed him in prison.

As one of the deputy general managers of a construction company, Wang Ziyang was no stranger to socializing. Especially in the construction industry, there was more socializing to be done than in sales.

Seven days ago, he was being bullied during a social engagement. The other party seemed to take a dislike to him and kept pressuring him to drink. He could not refuse, as the other party was a superior figure to him.

In the end, he ended up drinking about two decanters of high-proof liquor and collapsed on the table. After quite some time, his assistant came in, helping him out of the room.

Afterward, he was placed in a car.

"I thought I was going straight home afterward, but when I woke up, I found myself at the scene of an accident. I was so scared that my hangover was half gone. When I saw the person lying on the ground, I collapsed and only after a long while did I manage to call for help."

He wore a bitter smile, as though blaming himself for being too foolish. Why had he driven after drinking and caused such an accident?

What followed was the rapid arrival of the police.

After dealing with the injured, they took him to the hospital, where his blood alcohol level was measured.

The final result came back: 160 milligrams of alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood, a clear DUI.

Because of the serious injury caused and the DUI charge, he was quickly detained in the detention center.

"I don't know how I got to this point, but since I caused the accident, I’m willing to take responsibility."

He spoke sincerely to Ye Sangsang.

Ye Sangsang gazed into his deep eyes. Such eyes, when fixed on someone, were truly heart-wrenching.

After a few seconds, she snapped back to reality and frowned, saying, "There's a lot of missing key information here. I've looked into it with the investigators, and they said the area where the incident occurred was quite remote, with no surveillance. Since you don't have any memory of it, I think we should dig deeper."

"You can handle it however you see fit. But, can I ask you a favor? I'd like you to visit the seriously injured girl on my behalf. If money is an issue, I can cover it—I'm willing to pay a million for a settlement." He gave another bitter smile, his eyes filled with sadness. "I saw her injuries. She's so young. If it wasn't for me... It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, she would be fine."

[This suspect, he looks so innocent. I'm not sure if it's just me.]

[Confession and punishment, it's about time he admitted his mistake.]

[Let's wait and see. I've learned from Sangsang's darkness—I won't sympathize with anyone! In my eyes, whether they're good-looking or not, criminals all deserve to die!]

The live stream chat was lively, as they hadn't seen such a calm and uneventful case in a long time. This made them particularly excited.

The traffic was strange—this kind of case, which should have been dull, unexpectedly drew more viewers. Soon, it surpassed 300,000 viewers and continued to rise.

The moderators were stunned. What kind of unusual theory was this, where traffic was inversely proportional to excitement?

Other live streams with similar bland pieces generally saw a significant decline in viewers.

Ye Sangsang was unaware of this peculiar phenomenon. She looked at Wang Ziyang and, after hearing his words, nodded, "Alright, I'll visit the victim and try to negotiate a settlement to obtain a forgiveness letter."

"Thank you. I've heard about you before, and now I see you live up to your reputation," Wang Ziyang said with a faint smile after hearing Ye Sangsang's words.

Ye Sangsang remained neutral. All she was doing was what a lawyer should.

The visit was coming to an end. After checking her watch, Ye Sangsang looked at Wang Ziyang, "I know that during our first meeting, neither of us can be completely honest. So, I'll arrange for a second meeting as soon as possible. I hope you can trust me then."

This statement was purely standard practice, not something she deduced from their brief conversation. Ye Sangsang knew that lawyers, especially those experienced in criminal defense, were extremely shrewd.

They once shared a saying: During the first meeting with a client, you must never fully believe their words.

Especially criminal defense lawyers. They had to develop their own judgment.

Clients were typically suspicious and wouldn't trust a lawyer immediately. They might hide or even fabricate parts of the story.

If you believed them, you could end up in trouble.

They called such clients: cunning and devious.

When Wang Ziyang heard Ye Sangsang's words, he paused, his eyes scrutinizing her. He opened his mouth but ultimately didn't say what he wanted to.

"First, take care of what I asked. I just hope I get a lighter sentence," he said with a hint of sadness, then gestured for Ye Sangsang to leave.

The police at the detention center stepped forward, escorting Wang Ziyang away.

Ye Sangsang tidied her clothes and stood up, walking out calmly.

Her gaze occasionally fell on Wang Ziyang, filled with curiosity.

After thanking the police at the door, she left the detention center.

Following the system's instructions, she found Qi Qin's car. She placed the documents inside and drove according to the route back to her law firm.

Qi Qin was a partner at the firm. As soon as she entered, many people greeted her.

"When are you back from your visit? How did it go?" A hand draped over Ye Sangsang's shoulder as a voice with a smile asked.

Ye Sangsang shrugged off his grip and tilted her head to look at him, "Why don't you focus on your own case and leave this small one to me?"

"I'm just envious, that's all. How come I never get such easy cases? The police have investigated, the suspect has admitted guilt, and all you need to do is handle the family's side to get a forgiveness letter, aiming for a lighter sentence. No one's going to pressure you." He mumbled, clearly envious.

What's more, the suspect was a company vice president, and the legal fees were generous.@@novelbin@@

As soon as this case came in, he knew it was lucrative and low-effort.

Ye Sangsang shook her head helplessly, "All the procedures still need to be followed. You think it's easy? I'm afraid something might go wrong with people like that."

"It's just an ordinary drunk driving accident. What could happen? With your skills, I'm sure you'll resolve it quickly," he patted Ye Sangsang's shoulder and added, "By the way, that guy's pretty handsome, huh?"

Ye Sangsang looked at him and tilted her head slightly, showing her disapproval.

He raised his hands in surrender and quickly turned to leave.

Ye Sangsang instructed her assistant to provide information about the victim's current condition and hospital location. Afterward, she entered her office.

The office, with its understated grey and black furnishings and a large floor-to-ceiling window, was spotless.

After glancing at the neatly arranged desk, Ye Sangsang removed her coat and sat down.

After reviewing the materials, she opened the case overview provided by the investigators.

Indeed, it was a criminal case involving a traffic accident.

Hiring a top lawyer, especially one with over ten years of experience, seemed extravagant.

The case file described both physical evidence and the circumstances, which aligned closely with what Wang Ziyang had said: drunk driving resulting in serious injury. He had immediately called the police and emergency services.

After reading, the assistant came in with details about the girl's injuries and the hospital where she was being treated.

The girl had suffered numerous contusions and fractures in her left thigh, right leg, and left arm. The surgery was complete, and she was in recovery.

Since the hospital was relatively close to the law firm, Ye Sangsang decided to visit and attempt to communicate.

Qi Qin, like other senior lawyers, usually had interns learning from him. After completing their training and obtaining their license, they would gradually start taking cases to build experience.

Qi Qin also had one. As she left the office to head out, Ye Sangsang bumped into the intern.

The intern was a young, fair girl, her cheeks flushed from hurrying.

Seeing Qi Qin, she awkwardly bowed and apologized, "I'm sorry, Qi Qin. I was delayed on the way."

"Hmm," Ye Sangsang noticed her scraped knee and asked, "What happened to you?"

The girl glanced down and quickly explained, "I fell off my electric bike. It's nothing serious."

She had taken leave in the morning and arrived late in the afternoon, her face filled with unease.

"Maybe you should rest a bit longer," Ye Sangsang suggested.

The girl shook her head vigorously, "No, no need. These can be covered with a big band-aid. It won't affect anything."

[The plight of working people.]

[Interns don't dare to take a break, especially in law firms. A day off feels like a lifetime.]

[Too real. I used to be like that, terrified of pissing off the big boss, always saying everything was fine.]

Ye Sangsang thought for a moment and said, "We have some at the office. Go get a band-aid. Then, come with me to the hospital."

The girl hurriedly agreed, quickly finding the first aid kit, dressing her wound, and applying the band-aid.

Ye Sangsang waited patiently, showing no signs of impatience.

[Sometimes, Sangsang can be quite warm-hearted.]

[Qi Qin must be like this too. He seems serious and disciplined on the surface, but he has a soft heart.]

[Right, Sangsang's playing Qi Qin, and he's like that.]

Ye Sangsang drove, taking the intern Zhang Xiaoxiao to the hospital. On the way, they bought flowers and a fruit basket.

Soon, they arrived at the orthopedic ward. After finding the room, they knocked and entered.

The room had three beds, and Ye Sangsang's target was the girl by the window. She was wrapped in bandages from head to toe, lying on the bed.

She placed the fruit basket beside the bed, while Zhang Xiaoxiao hurriedly put the flower basket next to it.

Afterward, she introduced herself to the middle-aged woman and the girl, "Hello, I'm a lawyer representing Zhang Ziyang. Today, I'm here on his behalf to express his apologies for what happened."

"It's kind of you to finally show up. Why not wait until my daughter is fully healed and discharged before coming?" Before the girl could speak, her mother glanced at them coldly, her tone decidedly unfriendly.

Recognizing the sarcasm in her voice, Ye Sangsang remained expressionless.

For the pain that the victim of the accident endured, she was merely subjected to sarcastic remarks, but the girl's suffering was significantly more concrete.

She waited for the other party's emotions to slightly stabilize before turning her head and saying, "I can only express my apologies for this," she glanced at the young girl on the hospital bed, "How is the surgery going?"

"It's going well, the surgery is quite successful, and the doctor says the recovery is going smoothly," the girl's gaze fell on Ye Sangsang, speaking softly.

Ye Sangsang walked over to the stool on the other side of the window and sat down. "The party involved has repeatedly expressed their apologies to you and mentioned that if you have any difficulties or requests, you can chat with me."

Hearing this, the girl's mother turned her head to look at Ye Sangsang.

"Just tell us, how much compensation will you offer? Let me tell you, my daughter has suffered greatly!" she said with a frown.

Ye Sangsang looked at the girl, "We are full of sincerity on our side, and if you have any requests, please make them as soon as possible. We will do our best to meet them. We just hope that we can settle this amicably, so that both sides can have peace of mind."

In summary, if you have demands, make them known. The other side needs a letter of forgiveness; solving this mutually negates the need for litigation.

In cases of drunk driving accidents like this, if it weren't for Wang Ziyang needing a letter of forgiveness to reduce his sentence, the compensation wouldn't exceed one million.

Given the circumstances of the fracture, a compensation of twenty to thirty thousand would be the limit.

It's equivalent to Wang Ziyang buying himself two fewer years in prison with money.

Although Ye Sangsang isn't a lawyer, she knows some things.

"I'm a law student, Lawyer Qi, I know you. You can communicate with me directly," the girl looked at Ye Sangsang, "Be more straightforward."

Ye Sangsang raised an eyebrow, a trace of surprise flashing in her eyes, "Sorry, I'm used to it. Then I'll be direct: My client wishes to offer you one million in compensation, in exchange for your letter of forgiveness."

"Can I think about it? You know, I'm not very convenient right now," the girl said softly.

Ye Sangsang nodded, taking out a business card and placing it by the girl's hand, "Take your time with your consideration. As a law student, you are well aware of our sincerity."

She left with Zhang Xiaoxiao, turning back to meet the girl's gaze.

The girl's eyes carried a hint of familiarity, and Ye Sangsang smiled at her before slowly walking out.

Turning back, Ye Sangsang only felt that this case gave her a feeling of secrets everywhere.

Thinking of the case's task, Ye Sangsang went back and carefully reviewed the details of the accident scene.

At eleven o'clock that night, the group had finished drinking and left, with Wang Ziyang being helped into the car.

Since someone helped him, why didn't they drive or call a designated driver?

That was the first suspicious point.

The second was that Wang Ziyang claimed to have no memory at all, and upon waking up, he saw the girl already on the ground, panicking and calling for help.

Even if someone is extremely drunk, they wouldn't have no memory at all.

Could it be that he was set up?

Ye Sangsang frowned, took out her phone, and found the officer handling Wang Ziyang's case.

He didn't call but instead edited a text message to send to the officer.

They should have surveillance footage there, right? Even if the accident scene itself didn't, the stretch of road passing by should have had some.

To Ye Sangsang's surprise, the police officer quickly sent her some screenshots.

Due to the darkness, it was impossible to tell who was inside.

Next were the surveillance videos, which Ye Sangsang opened to view, but it was impossible to clearly see who was in the car.

Only vaguely could she see that the vehicle was driving normally, with no obvious signs of drunk driving.

After thanking the officer, since this path didn't work, Ye Sangsang decided to visit Wang Ziyang's family to inquire about the situation.

She was quite curious about what answer she would get.

Soon, Ye Sangsang and Zhang Xiaoxiao arrived at the Wang household.

She was received by the Wang family, with the house filled with sorrow. Wang Ziyang's parents, upon seeing her, grabbed her and cried, their tears streaming down their faces.

"My son is very steady, he never drinks and drives, so why did he suddenly start hitting people?" Wang Ziyang's mother cried as she spoke, her eyes swollen like walnuts.

Next to her, Wang Ziyang's father also had tears in his eyes, his eyes filled with bloodshot veins, "Lawyer, you must investigate thoroughly. He truly wouldn't drink and drive, he really wouldn't."

Ye Sangsang patiently comforted them, continuously nodding in agreement.

She said, "If you have any clues, you can tell me, and I will definitely ensure my client's interests."

The couple remained silent, apparently not knowing much about their son's situation.

Ye Sangsang knew she wouldn't get much out of them and decided to chat about other things before leaving.

At that moment, Wang Ziyang's mother suddenly said, "I remember, seven days before the night he went out, Ziyang complained that the driver suddenly quit, forcing him to drive himself to the banquet, and he even mentioned booking a designated driver in advance."

"He had that awareness, so how could he have suddenly decided to drive himself! After he got drunk, he easily becomes unconscious."

"He can't even move, how could he possibly drive back..."

She had a pained expression, murmuring softly.
