Ace of the Dragon Division - Chapter 295
Chapter 295: Setup
After Fergus hung up the phone, he saw the passenger door’s seat was still open. He immediately got out of the car and went to close it. But what he didn’t notice was that the leather of his passenger seat sunk down a bit, as if someone was sitting there.
After Fergus came back to his car, he waited anxiously for Prince Will to come out.
He finally let out a sigh of relief when he saw Prince Will’s car slowly drive out of the hospital’s parking lot.
“Thank God…”
Then, he started his car. He obviously wouldn’t wait for the grim reaper, and he directly followed after Prince Will’s car. Now, it seemed like they were the only two survivors, so they must unite to deal with that b@stard. Rather than being dominated by the fear of death, they might as well try to fight back.
Just when Fergus was about to accelerate to try to pull up to Prince Will and greet him, for some unknown reason, his foot on the gas pedal felt as if it was stepped on hard by another foot, and the engine instantly unleashed more than two hundred horsepower. Fergus terrifyingly found his foot suddenly begin hurting so much and he couldn’t let go of the gas pedal no matter what. He could only watch his car speed up, screaming as the car slammed right into Prince Will’s sedan. Fergus’s eyes stared wide open as he tried to swirl the steering wheel to the side.
But, he found that the steering wheel seemed to have gotten fixed in place by someone as well!
His face was pale, and with a loud bang, the jeep rammed right into the sedan at a T-section, completely obliterating the back half of the sedan. The momentum carried both cars across the road into a small cliff, pining Prince Will’s car in between. The violent collision directly squeezed the sedan into a piece of junk, with the car beyond recognition.
The huge crash caused quite the attention around the area, and the passerby cars almost couldn’t stop and ran into them as well.
Fergus’s head brutally slammed against the steering wheel as he lost consciousness.
And in that extended sedan, Prince Will’s body had been penetrated all over by broken glass. His face was covered in blood as he struggled to climb out. The butler that was driving that car had instantly died. Just when Prince Will was about to free himself from the car, a lighter fell from god-knows-where besides the leaking tank and ignited the oil.
With a loud bang, there was a huge explosion as fire shot into the sky! The huge blast caused the traffic to sink into chaos and panic. This incident immediately became one of the biggest events in the country that year, because the victim of that crash was a prince!
A few days later, Fergus was discharged from the hospital. Then, he was taken into the interrogation room with handcuffs on and was being interrogated. “Why did you kill Prince Will?”
Fergus felt like he was losing his mind. “I didn’t! I didn’t! I didn’t kill him!”
The two interrogators exchanged a look, and someone immediately stood up, grabbed his hair, and slammed it onto the table as he shouted, “Don’t take us for fools! Don’t think that you can get through this as long as you act like you have a mental disability! You won’t be able to wash yourself clean from the crime of murdering a prince!”
Fergus’s face was covered in blood as he lifted his head up and shouted in anger, “It wasn’t me!”
“The surveillance cameras have a clear record of what happened! You were in the driver’s seat, and there was only one person in the car. You were driving at more than 200 mph towards Prince Will’s car, how are you going to deny that when we have video evidence?!”
“It’s the devil! It’s the devil! It’s the grim reaper! At that time, I couldn’t control the pedal, and I couldn’t turn my steering wheel as well! I really didn’t mean to run into him!” Fergus tried to explain.
The interrogator said in a deep voice, “How long do you want to pretend to be crazy until?”
Then, he threw Fergus’s phone onto the table and said, “That night, Buren, Jiru, Tom, and Prince Will all got a call from you before their death, and in the call, you warned them about someone possibly going after them. You were emphasizing how someone was coming back for revenge. In reality, that was just a way for you to divert the attention, you want to make us think that there was someone else, but the murderer is just you! You planned this series of killings! The prince was originally all fine in the hospital, but he left because of your call, while you were already waiting outside of the hospital for him to come out so you can kill him in a car crash.”
Fergus shook his head like crazy. “That wasn’t what happened! I don’t have a motive to kill them at all! Since you have been accusing me of killing them, then find me the proof! What motive do I have to kill them? HUH?”
The interrogator looked at him coldly, “You do! You are the biggest suspect of this whole case!”
“First, we investigated if there were any old grudges between the five of you in the past, and we found that since highschool, you five weren’t getting along, and sometimes you would get into fights because of Miss Lin of the Lin Family. That’s the unsettled feud you five have. Then this time, on the Queen’s birthday banquet, the five of you were the ones with the best chances of scoring an arranged marriage with the Lin Family, yet Xu Cheng came out of the blue and messed up your plans. So, the five of you planned to assassinate Xu Cheng, yet your hired hitmen failed and even died at the hospital. So, afraid that Xu Cheng would come seek revenge, you decided to save yourself and kill the other four culprits so Xu Cheng will have mercy on you, but you originally hated the other four anyways, and that’s why you planned the whole series of killings, right? And every call you made was just a distraction, and the grim reaper you were referring to was Xu Cheng, right? You thought you cleverly used him as a shield to cover your crimes that benefits and also saves you. The biggest motive you had to kill the other four was to either get the Rose of Britain, Miss Lin, or to avoid getting killed by Xu Cheng. We don’t have direct evidence of you killing the other three, but the murder of the prince alone is enough to get you a death sentence!”
Fergus sat there, dumbfounded, and suddenly didn’t know what to say. Right now, he could only admire and fear one person!
That’s right, it was Xu Cheng!
He pulled out this whole setup! He was the true killer that managed to easily frame someone else! Fergus knew that right now, nothing he could say would make any difference. Right, in the eyes of normal people, it was indeed him that drove his car at high speed right into Prince Will’s car, and with the motive the interrogators just mentioned, it was enough to create a homicide case that he couldn’t explain his way out of.
At this moment, Fergus’s lawyer came in and said, “Officers, sorry for the delay. Here I have a proof that my client is suffering from a mental disorder.”
The interrogator looked at Fergus and said, “The queen is very angry. Her intent is that if you want to pretend to have mental disorders to evade the punishment of law, then your family can be punished in your place.”
Fergus bitterly smiled. “Right, it was all done by me!”
