Shocking news.
After a moment of thought, Chen Fang suddenly said, "No, that's not right!"
Wen Mei was taken aback and asked, "What's not right?"
Chen Fang followed up with a question, "Did Chou Goushi tell you that he released these two clues in order to save his life?"
Wen Mei nodded and said, "I went to the detention center and asked him face to face. It was him who said it himself. With so many charges against him, he was definitely facing the death penalty. So, he released these two clues in hope of getting a reprieve."
Chen Fang stroked his chin, deep in thought for a while, then said, "Looking at the two clues he's provided so far, solving these two cases would indeed be a major deal. But have you ever thought about why he kept silent before and only spoke up now?"
"Isn't it because he's afraid of dying?"
Wen Mei replied.
