The evidence Lu Heng mentioned was either uncovered by the future Celestial Sea police investigation or calmly confessed by Qiao Lili after her arrest.
It wasnât until three years later that the case of Zhang Donglinâs murder was fully resolved.
First came Song Qiao.
This unfortunate man was completely bewitched by Qiao Lili, kept in the dark from beginning to end.
After his arrest, he voluntarily confessed to the charge of manslaughter, backed by surveillance footage from the villaâs living room.
Thus, the court found him guilty of intentional harm and sentenced him to twenty years in prison.
Next was Qiao Lili.
After successfully killing Zhang Donglin, Qiao Lili was restless for several days.
When the Zhang Family villa was completely unlocked, she hurriedly disposed of the syringe and leftover verapamil she had hidden earlier.
She thought that after Zhang Donglinâs death, she would take control of the Zhang Group.
But she never expected that Zhang Donglin had left a will.
Nor did she expect that Zhang Donglin had a hidden son!
It turned out that two years ago, before Zhang Donglinâs heart surgery, fearing something might happen, he had a will drawn up by a lawyer.
He feared the Zhang Group would collapse after his death and didnât want his lifeâs work to benefit others.
Thus, the will stipulated that all his assets be transferred to his biological son.
Before the son came of age, his biological mother, also his first love, would manage everything.
When the will was announced, Qiao Lili was taken aback.
She never anticipated that all her efforts were merely benefiting others!
Fortunately, Zhang Donglinâs first love had some consideration for appearances and feelings, retaining Qiao Liliâs position at the company and gifting her Zhang Donglinâs villa.
Finally, the Celestial Sea police.
Following Zhang Donglinâs death, the police conducted an autopsy on his body.
During the autopsy, the excess verapamil couldnât escape the forensic teamâs scrutiny.
This left the police quite puzzled.
Although Zhang Donglin had heart issues, administering that much verapamil was unnecessary!
Therefore, the police reopened the investigation.
Meanwhile, after acquiring the villa, Qiao Lili chose not to sell it but to renovate and move in.
During renovations, a worker accidentally discovered a tiny camera installed on the bedroom chandelier by Zhang Donglin.
At the time, unsure of what to do and without informing Qiao Lili, the worker reported it to the police.
The police came and quickly found the surveillance storage system.
Upon seeing it, they realized the magnitude of it!
Apparently, Zhang Donglin had a penchant for filming in secret.
Whether it was his ex-wife, Qiao Lili, or any other woman, anyone who entered the second-floor bedroom was filmed.
Thus, the moment when Qiao Lili injected the overdosage of verapamil while Zhang Donglin was drunk was fully captured by the hidden camera.
The police quickly located Qiao Lili, intending to have her assist in the investigation.
But possibly owing to remorse for Song Qiao or the frustration of not obtaining the wealth, Qiao Lili confessed everything outright.
And then... nothing followed...
"Thank you, Master Taoist, for your guidance!"
"We will return and re-investigate immediately!"
Upon learning of the evidence, the Celestial Sea officer was very pleased, repeatedly expressing gratitude.
Before leaving the live stream, he even sent several Cloud-Piercing Arrows.
"Master Taoist, I must thank you too!"
Hu also smiled and expressed her gratitude.
Understanding Song Qiaoâs entire story, she fully realized that she and Song Qiao were not really lovers, merely friends who grew up together.
Since Song Qiaoâs heart was never with her from the start, there was no reason to cling to it.
Meanwhile, the live stream viewersâ comments began to flood in.
"Hu, Iâm willing to wait for you!"
"Donât anyone argue with me, Iâm determined to marry Hu!"
"Iâm booking a flight now to visit Hu!"
"Do any of you even know where she is? Acting like a bunch of eager monkeys."
"Honestly, you all look so desperate; itâs rather disgusting!"
"Absolutely disgusting! Iâm worried youâll scare my dear Hu!"
"She hasnât even divorced yet!"
"So what? Theyâll have to divorce eventually anyway."
"Regardless of what Qiao Lili injected Zhang Donglin with, Song Qiao is culpable of intentional manslaughter, at least deserving five to six years."
"A scumbag like Song Qiao doesnât deserve a wife like Hu."
"I donât know whatâs so great about Qiao Lili either, abandoning such a good wife to become her pawn."
"First love is a powerful force you wouldnât understand!"
"Imagine a wealthy and beautiful lady, with a great figure, who never forgot about you and is willing to fund your business, buy cars, wouldnât you be tempted?"
"Ahem... I kind of understand Song Qiao now."
"I donât care about businesses or cars; I just have bad teeth and want to eat something soft."
"Unlike you all, I find being a wealthy ladyâs consort the most tempting!"
"Thief Cao, hello, and goodbye!"
"After what you said, if it were me, I might also become Qiao Liliâs pawn."
"Sigh! A pretty face can already lead a man like me by the nose, let alone a wealthy lady."
"Question Song Qiao... understand Song Qiao... become Song Qiao... surpass Song Qiao..."
The silly viewers indeed had endless fun.
At first, everyone mocked Song Qiaoâs foolishness.
But from Song Qiaoâs perspective, the temptation was overwhelming!
Seeing these comments, Lu Heng couldnât help but smile.
[System Notification: The host has successfully altered the Heavenly Dao, absorbing Life Span, please check it shortly...]
At this moment, the systemâs notification also sounded in his ears.
"Master Taoist, thank you for your help tonight!"
"I wonât take up any more of your time; goodbye!"
Hu, following the usual protocol, sent several Cloud-Piercing Arrows and then disconnected from the stream.
After Hu went offline, Lu Heng glanced at the time, realizing it was nearing the end.
He smiled and said, "Dear viewers, the two lucky viewers selected today have been settled."
"Thatâs all for tonightâs live stream."
"Thank you all for joining the stream and watching till the end."
"I hope the next time we go live, we can meet again!"
"Farewell, dear viewers, until next time!"
After bidding farewell to the viewers, he closed the live stream and exited the Douhu APP...
