1329 I Only Want You 27 (2/2)

Hence, the interrogation proceeded smoothly.

The elderly lady could no longer retort now that the truth was as clear as day.

At the end of the interrogation, An Xiaoning stared at the elderly lady, who had a deadpan expression, and said, ”I can tell from your complexion that you've been living very well all these years. I bet you thought that your crime will never be exposed since there aren't any evidence. Even though you're already old in your years, we're still going to expose the details of this case to the media and let the entire nation know what a vicious mother-in-law you are.”

Having nothing left to live for, the elderly lady said, ”Just execute me straight away. It's no big deal. I've lived for long enough anyway.”

”How can we execute you immediately? We'll let the court decide what to do with you,” An Xiaoning said with a smile.

Pan Zhenghui popped his head through the crack of the door and asked, ”Are you done?”

An Xiaoning stood up and said, ”Case closed.”

Pan Zhenghui stuck his thumb up and exclaimed in awe, ”Xiaoning, you're so impressive! I really have so much respect and admiration for you. You never fail to crack major cases effortlessly, no matter how tough they may be for us.”

”It's just a coincidence. I couldn't have solved it easily if I didn't possess supernatural abilities or if Liu Wanzhen's spirit had already reincarnated. No matter what, at least this case has now been solved after so many years. I initially thought that Liu Wanzhen's husband was aware of his mother's crime, but it seems that he didn't know anything at all. In that case, let's release him.”

”I guess you're going to start working on the second case, then.”

”No, I don't have such plans yet. This case might be closed but I still have to find out the reason the village became the Widows' Village, It seems rather absurd and bizarre. There might be something wrong with the water reservoir.”

”Alright, go ahead, then, but from what I know about you, you probably won't need much time to uncover the truth either,” said Pan Zhenghui, who was in high spirits because he knew that his superior would definitely praise him for cracking the case.

”I can't guarantee that I'll get to the bottom of the truth in a short period of time. You've got lots of confidence in me, huh? It's getting late, I have to go,” said An Xiaoning.

”Alright, drive safely.”

”Yes.”

Before she left, she instructed her team members, ”You guys stay put and wait for further instructions. You've been working hard. You guys deserve a break. I'll call when I need you guys again.”

”Alright. I knew I could relax a little whenever you're around, Xiaoning. Call us whenever you need help. We're on call 24/7,” Ma Jianguo said gleefully.

”Okay, I'm leaving now.”

After a long day of shenanigans, An Xiaoning had her dinner at a street stall before returning to the town. It was already nine o'clock by the time they arrived.

Upon the sight of the two of them, Madam Wang said, ”You guys have no idea what just happened. We finally got some good news.”

”What good news?”

”There was a murder case that took place more than two decades ago, and the police came today to crack the case. We all thought that the police had already given up on the case at the start, but it turns out that they had been carrying out investigations. Great. By the way, is your husband staying here tonight?”
