C64 (2/2)
Ye Wencheng was like a balloon that was instantly popped. Jiang Han looked at him with a guilty conscience.
He continued, ”On the evening of July 26, 17, Liu Nianqi was killed in his bicycle shed at the back of his house. Do you know that? ”
”I don't know.”
”This is the person who killed your daughter. You don't even care about his death?” Xiao He asked.
Ye Wencheng was even more reluctant to communicate with them.
”I said I don't know, but I don't know.”
During the break, Xiao He and Jiang Han were discussing while eating their lunch.
”It's too obvious that he's like this, but he wouldn't admit it no matter what.” Jiang Han said angrily.
”I just don't understand one thing. How did he and Qin Hongmu collude? No matter what happened, I just can't believe my intuition.”
As they were talking, Ning Ruonan came in from outside.
”Qin Hongmu's injury is a bit serious, I wonder if she can protect her left arm.”
”This will depend on good fortune. I was already quite a distance behind her, and she wouldn't listen. ” Jiang Han had an innocent expression.
”Yeah, this is too stupid. Why do you have to take the risk of injuring yourself?” Ning Ruonan also felt that it was weird.
”Perhaps she was just stalling for time, or perhaps she was trying to gain the last bit of Ye Wencheng's gratitude so that he wouldn't reveal himself.”
Jiang Han stopped chewing. His words were …
Therefore, he continued:
”Tell me, if Ye Wencheng was the murderer, then would the one who was used as bait that night be Qin Hongmu? That's why they colluded. ”
Xiao He looked at him helplessly: ”You're talking about the result of their collusion, what's the source? There are so many people in the world, but Qin Hongmu indirectly caused his daughter's death. Why did he insist on cooperating with her to do this? Furthermore, why would Qin Hongmu help him? ”
”I think there must be some sort of relationship between them.”
”How do you know?” Ning Ruonan had a face of disbelief.
”He can even get people to hide in his house, how can he not have some tricks up his sleeves?” Jiang Han had a righteous and confident expression, which instantly made Ning Ruonan laugh. Xiao He lowered his eyes, pretending that his mind was not on it at all.
”Do you think Ning Ronan will give up Ye Wencheng?” Jiang Han asked Ruo Nan.
”I think it definitely won't happen from the start. If it's really as you said, then they are already grasshoppers tied to a rope.” Ruonan shook her head.
On the side, Xiao He couldn't shake off the doubts in his mind. From the current situation, Ye Wencheng probably didn't know of Qin Hongmu's relationship with this case. If he didn't come to this conclusion, then his motive for killing Liu Nianqi wouldn't be valid.
However, what motive did Qin Hongmu have to help him? If they went around this question too long, it would affect the entire investigation.
Due to the need to compare the two suspects' confessions, Xiao He and the others had to suspend the interrogation of Ye Wencheng.
That night, everyone returned to rest. Actually, he wouldn't be able to sleep for more than a few hours. He had to get up and work the next morning.
It was the same with Xiao He.
In the past few days, the clown seemed to have disappeared without a trace and never came to look for him.
That night, he slept soundly.
However, he was awakened by the ringing of his mobile phone in the middle of the night.
”What's wrong? ”Xiao Mi.”
”Captain Xiao, Ye Wencheng committed suicide.”
”How could that be? Isn't his hand being tortured? ”
Xiaomi sighed, ”It's the bracelet he wore on his hand. One of the beads was made of plastic and there was potassium cyanide inside after he bit it open. ”He came back in the middle of the night to have the material tested. There's no mistake, this is the method he used.”
Xiao He never would have thought that it would be like this. He originally thought that the bracelet was only hinting at Qin Hongmu at the most crucial moment: he was caught.
In other words, the most likely culprit in this case had committed suicide.
Suddenly, he remembered what Ruonan and the others had told him last night.
Why was Qin Hongmu still speeding up after finding out that the tollbooth already had her ID?
Could it be … Was it because they had a contract?
Did they agree to end their lives together after arrest to avoid guilt?
The more he thought about it, the more ridiculous it seemed.
