**102章：暗流的渊源**

Chen Yang's grip on Lin Xuan's wrist tightened, his eyes burning with an unspoken intensity. "What's not what I think?" he growled, his voice low and menacing.

Lin Xuan's eyes darted around the room, as if searching for an escape route. "I...I didn't do it," he stuttered.

Chen Yang's expression remained impassive, but his fingers dug deeper into Lin Xuan's wrist. "You're going to tell me the truth, Lin Xuan. No more lies."

Lin Xuan's face twisted in a mix of fear and desperation. "I didn't kill Dr. Mo," he whispered. "I swear it."

A cold smile spread across Chen Yang's face. "Then why did the police find your fingerprints at the crime scene?"

Lin Xuan's eyes dropped to the floor. "I...I went to Dr. Mo's office that night. We had a disagreement about the hospital's finances. I threatened to expose him, and he got angry. I left in a huff, but I didn't kill him."

Chen Yang's grip on Lin Xuan's wrist eased, his gaze never leaving the man's face. "And what about the suspicious transactions in your bank account? The large sum of money transferred from Dr. Mo's account to yours?"

Lin Xuan's eyes snapped back up, a glimmer of panic in their depths. "That...that was a loan," he stammered. "Dr. Mo owed me money, and I loaned him some cash. That's all."

Chen Yang's smile grew wider. "I see. And what about the testimony of the witness who placed you at the crime scene?"

Lin Xuan's face fell, his eyes welling up with tears. "I...I didn't kill Dr. Mo. I swear it. Please, Chen Yang, you have to believe me."

Chen Yang's gaze never wavered, his eyes piercing through Lin Xuan's defenses like a hot knife through butter. "I'm not going to believe anything until I find the truth," he said, his voice cold and detached.

As the silence stretched out between them, Lin Xuan's eyes dropped to the floor, his body slumping in defeat. Chen Yang's grip on his wrist relaxed, but his gaze remained fixed on the man, his mind racing with the implications of Lin Xuan's words.

And then, just as it seemed like the truth was within reach, the door burst open, and a figure stumbled into the room, gasping for breath.

"Chen Yang, I found something," the figure stammered. "A security camera footage that shows...that shows Dr. Mo meeting with someone the night he was killed."

Chen Yang's eyes snapped towards the newcomer, his grip on Lin Xuan's wrist tightening once more. "What are you talking about?" he demanded.

The figure hesitated, his eyes darting to Lin Xuan before back to Chen Yang. "The person in the footage...it's you," he whispered.

Chen Yang's face froze, his mind reeling with the new information. Lin Xuan's eyes locked onto his, a glimmer of triumph flickering to life in their depths.

And then, everything went black.
