Chapter 2712: Had a Perfect Alibi

“This case occurred more than 10 years ago and besides, they were citizens of another country. Since the other country doesn’t care about it, we don’t need to investigate it.”
It was a totally thankless task.
Even if the investigation did conclude in Cheng Fei’s guilt, which country’s laws would be used to judge him?
Cheng Fei was a native of this country. After his adoptive parents died, he was sent back to his country, and it wasn’t like he was not willing to return.
He was also already a Chinese citizen now.
Ning Shu had to give up. Internally, she was cursing nonstop.
Cheng Fei was such a terrifying person.
When his adoptive parents died, he had a perfect alibi because he was at school.
He returned home to find that his entire adoptive family had been burned to death.
No one would believe that a twelve-year-old child could kill someone.
Ning Shu felt speechless. How could they all burn to death in the house? Did they not know how to run after they realized that their house was on fire?
They could’ve gotten out by smashing the window or breaking the door open.
Unless the family of three were all unconscious, how could they all be burned to death?
Ning Shu really wanted to beat Cheng Fei to death now.
“I want to ask, how long is the possible sentence for an attempted murder like the one my husband committed?” Ning Shu asked.
According to the information that she’d obtained, attempted homicide was punishable by death, life imprisonment, or fixed-term imprisonment of more than ten years. A minor perpetrator could be given a sentence of fixed-term imprisonment of between three and ten years.
Ning Shu didn’t know what sentence the judge would give Cheng Fei.
Especially so since Cheng Fei was mentally ill.
She was afraid that they wouldn’t charge him because of his mental state.
Then Ning Shu would really have to orz.
“It depends on the case.”
“What if my husband has a mental illness? What if he has severe antisocial personality disorder? How will that affect the sentence?” Ning Shu asked the police.
“Well, if he claims insanity, a psychiatric expert would be asked to come and verify whether he really is insane.
“And…” the policeman looked at Ning Shu. “If the expert diagnosed that something is wrong during their examination, he’d be sent to a psychiatric hospital.”
Ning Shu narrowed her eyes. Sent to a psychiatric hospital?
That meant that Cheng Fei would be considered innocent because of his unsound mind. Once his condition improved, wouldn’t he be discharged from the psychiatric hospital?
F*ck.
Ning Shu slapped the table. If Cheng Fei really got acquitted, what the hell did she go through all this trouble for?
With Cheng Fei’s IQ, he’d definitely know how to get acquitted.
If he claimed insanity to avoid being charged with the crime, Cheng Fei would be able to be acquitted as soon as he was successfully diagnosed with insanity.
At most, he’d be locked up in a psychiatric hospital.
Cheng Fei himself was a doctor, so of course he knew how to diagnose mental illness.
It’d be all too easy for him to fake the signs and pretend to be mentally ill.
In truth, the only evidence of Cheng Fei’s attempted murder was also really weak, since it was just a recording.
Ning Shu returned from the police station with a new worry. What else could she do to deal with Cheng Fei?
She couldn’t imagine what’d happen when Cheng Fei eventually got released.
What’d happen to Ai Yun’s parents and her?
Ning Shu thought about the skills she could use. She knew embroidery, could make demonic poison, do acupuncture, could use spiritual consciousness, and could communicate with intelligent animals.
Her skill in law would be useless in this situation. Cheng Fei was not only a doctor. He had also studied law.
He clearly knew about the loopholes in the law that he could exploit.
Ning Shu really felt like she could never love again.
The investigation of Cheng Fei’s adoptive family’s deaths a decade ago had concluded in nothing. The three members of that family were already mere bones now.
They no longer posed any threat to Cheng Fei.
