Isn't it your police's business?

As for why his father did not choose to report Tom, it might be because of the teacher-student relationship. After all, Tom said that Alex's father treated him very well before, and secondly, his father was afraid that Tom would expose Alex as well.

Another reason might be his father's guilt. He chose to help conceal his son's murder, but he exposed it when it was someone else's turn? This is a complete double standard, and this behavior might not be so easy for his father to accept.

It seems that Alex still needs to have a good talk with his father. When he goes back this time, he will take the advantage of Sofia's case to talk to his father openly and to see if there is anything he doesn't know.

…

On the other side, Yang and his team finally get their wish to participate in the case after Chen's application. Although they are just assisting, they are already very satisfied.

Max proposes that he interrogates Sofia and Mr Lian again, and the local police agrees.

He took Alice into the interrogation room, and the two sit down in front of Sofia. Max does not put on an interrogation posture, but asks casually,

"What's your relationship with Alex?"

Sofia looks up at him and smiles, "there's no relationship yet, but I'm pursuing him."

Hearing this answer, Max and Alice look at each other in surprise, since they never think it would be like this. He asks,

"Do you know that he might be a murderer?"

Sofia nods,

"I know. A police officer said that he suspected Alex was related to a serial murder case in Beijing City."

"Would you still like such a person?"

"Why not? You just suspect, but there is no evidence, and I don't believe that he is a real murderer."

Max nods and doesn't continue to dwell on this topic, because he could see that Sofia is willing to help Alex, so the topic about Alex is not a good breakthrough point here.

His expression becomes serious, "Tell me about what happened that night."

Sofia first complains that she has said it already, and seeing that Max is still staring at her, she has no choice but to repeat it again.

After she finishes speaking, Max takes out a surveillance video and puts it in front of her, and asks,

"From the video, I see that you first hit Mr Lian's car, then reversed and accelerated to hit the car in front. Why did you do that?"

Sofia looks at the scene in the video, but she is not nervous at all. Then she answers calmly,

"I am a female driver. After the collision, I was very panicked, and then I subconsciously reversed. As a result, because I was too panicked, I didn't know how to hit the car in front again."

Max sneers,

"You don't look panicked at all now."

Sofia retorts,

"That's because I think it through. I didn't do anything and I just hit the car. And the reason I hit the car was because they parked the car on the side of the road and didn't turn on the double flash. It was dark and rainy at that time. Isn't it normal that I didn't notice it? If you ask me, the responsibility is still on them."

Max ignores her and continues to ask,

"What about here? In the video, I see that you got out of the car and walked towards that car, and handed him a mobile phone. Why did you do that? And what did he do with the phone?"

"Officer, I hit someone, so of course I had to get out of the car to check the situation. Then he asked me for the phone, and I thought he was going to call an ambulance, so I gave it to him.

As for who he called and what he said, I have no idea at all. It was raining too hard and his voice was too soft, so I didn't hear it clearly."

"Well, we found two mobile phones on you, one of which you often use. Where is the phone card in the other one?"

"I don't know. After he used it and returned it to me, the phone card disappeared. I guess that he should have thrown it away."

"Why do you have two mobile phones? And one of them uses an anonymous phone card?"

"Officer, this is Hua City, this is normal, okay? If you really don't believe me, you just go to the street and pull anyone to ask, they all definitely have this kind of phone card."

Max does not ask any more questions. He knows that there would be no breakthrough with Sofia who is determined to help Alex, so he does not intend to waste time on Sofia.

Because of the video, they did not have much time. The video proves that the two people are indeed not involved into this case. Therefore, it is truly impossible to keep them in police station for a long time. Thus Max has to hurry up.

Max goes straight to Mr Lian's interrogation room. He feels that Mr Lian is probably easier to break through. After all, the information shows that Mr Lian is just an ordinary taxi driver.

When Max comes to Mr Lian's interrogation room, he gets straight to the point.

"How did you know Alex?"

Mr Lian tells the truth without hiding, because he blackmailed Alex for 150 euros, and then Alex found him.

"Why did you lend the car to Alex?"

"He found me at the time and said that if I lent him the car, he would not pursue the blackmail against me, and he also gave me 600 euros as a fee. If the loan period is longer, he will pay more. You also know that for us taxi drivers, 600euros is not a small amount, so I lent it to him immediately."

"Aren't you afraid that he will use your car to do some bad things?"

Mr Lian doesn't say anything, and hesitates for a long time before speaking,

"I just lent the car to make money. If he really uses my car to do some bad things, isn't it your police's business?"

After Max interrogates the two, there is still no any progress.

Yang witnesses the interrogation process and he now feels that he really could no longer accept this result. He truly does not understand why these people do not cooperate with them.

Max is very calm. He has had a psychological expectation since he knows that there is surveillance at the scene. He knows that this matter would most likely not have any results. He continues to interrogate because Alex is suspected of instigating murder, and he hopes to find evidence in this regard.

But unfortunately, he knows that he has failed. Although he does not know why they killed each other at that time, the result is already doomed. The police would not pursue the reasons in the middle too much. Although it would be best to know the reasons, it does not matter if they do not know.

It is like a person killed another person, and then this person committed suicide. The police would simply visit and investigate the reasons, but if the visit is too difficult, the police would not waste energy to continue to dig deep into the reasons, because there are still many crimes happening in the world, and many cases have not been solved. They would not waste energy on such unimportant things.

Not long after, Chen sends a message that he has investigated Tom's identity and that Tom rented a house opposite Alex, but Max knows that these things are useless because Tom was dead.

All their suspicions are just speculations, and speculations could not be used as evidence.

Yang asks unwillingly, "Will we just give up like that?"

Max looks at him and explains, "It's not giving up, it's that this case is indeed over, but we still have to keep an eye on Alex."

Four days passes in a flash, and Alex receives a call from Sofia, saying that she has come out from the police station and asks Alex to pick her up.

When Alex arrives at the police station, he sees that Mr Lian and Sofia waiting for him, and Yang and Yang's colleagues are standing beside them. Then Alex walks forward them calmly.

Max stretches out his hand to stop him and asks, "Do you know Tom?"

Alex looks at Max's hand in front of him and asks, "Is this an interrogation?"

Max shakes his head, "No, it's just a normal chat."

Alex smiles,

"In this case, I can choose not to answer, but since we often deal with each other, I can honestly tell you some information for free. Investigate Tom carefully and he has a secret."

Max's expression does not change at all,

"Everyone has secrets, don't you?"
