The investigation of the case has reached a deadlock.
The only criminal suspect, Xie Yuan, denied that he had committed the murder. No direct evidence could be found of Xie Yuan's murder, and no motive for the murder could be found. Xie Yuan did not admit that he knew Meng Yuanming, and Tian Shan admitted that she had a relationship with Meng Yuanming in the past, but
He bit himself to death and never saw him again after breaking up with Meng Yuanming. Although Tian Shan's flower shop is only across the street from Meng Yuanming's dumpling house, there is no evidence that Tian Shan and Meng Yuanming met.
He Xiaohui decided to conduct another detailed investigation into Xie Yuan's background. Zhang Pengfei, Ding Yiran and Deng Ru were sent to Xie Yuan's hometown and the university where Xie Yuan graduated from respectively to understand the situation. Su Le went back to the police station when he had nothing to do these days.
After work, take some time to wander around the pedestrian streets and see if you can find some clues.
Gao Yongfeng's funeral was held at the funeral parlor. He Xiaohui and Su Le appeared at the funeral wearing casual clothes.
Because of the arrangements of the Anyong Group, the funeral was very grand. Outside the condolence hall, hundreds of wreaths were lined up on the left and right of the gate. The elegiac couplets on the wreaths fluttered in the wind, which was really majestic.
There is a special ceremony table at the entrance of the hall to record the gifts and offerings brought by the guests. As soon as He Xiaohui and Su Le appeared in front of the ceremony table, Li Wenli, who was in charge of the funeral, came over.
"Officer He, Officer Su, I didn't expect you to have a relationship with Mr. Gao Yongfeng."
"It's not a relationship, it's just that our fathers had some friendship with Mr. Gao." He Xiaohui replied.
"Okay, please help yourself, I still have things to deal with." Li Wenli said hello and was about to leave.
"Mr. Li, where is Mr. Gao's wife? We would like to go over and have a word." He Xiaohui asked.
"Oh, Mr. Gao's wife is not here today. His three young wives are all in the lounge. You can go over and have a word." Li Wenli replied.
"Three young ladies?" He Xiaohui asked.
"Don't you know? They are just three mistresses." Li Wenli whispered.
"Oh, that's it, then we won't go."
"Mr. Gao is really a romantic person. He not only has three official mistresses, but also reportedly has some other friends." Seeing that He Xiaohui didn't know anything about it, Li Wenli couldn't help but gossip.
"Then his wife isn't jealous?" He Xiaohui asked.
"I heard that he hasn't been to his wife's house for more than ten years." Li Wenli said mysteriously.
"How many children does he have?"
"It is said that he only has one child, born to his original wife, in the United States. No other woman has given birth to a child for him." Li Wenli said in He Xiaohui's ear.
At this time, there was a voice calling Mr. Li, and Li Wenli quickly left here and went away.
After the funeral, He Xiaohui went to the branch, and Su Le went for a walk on the pedestrian street again. The afternoon sun was fierce. Since there were no tall trees on the pedestrian street, the sun shone on the unobstructed pedestrian street, making the street temperature very high. Su
Le hid under the eaves of the dumpling house to avoid direct sunlight. Looking across from here, he could clearly see the door of the flower shop.
Su Le would never believe that Tian Shan and Meng Yuanming had not been in contact recently, and he also suspected that the reason why Tian Shan opened the flower shop opposite the pedestrian street must be related to Meng Yuanming. He sorted out these things according to the timeline in his mind
The whole story.
Meng Yuanming married He Fang in 2004.
In 2005, Meng Yuanming ran away from home, and Tian Shan married Xie Yuan.
In 2006, Meng Yuanming bought the dumpling house.
Tian Shan opened a flower shop in 2007.
Tian Shan became pregnant in 2008.
In 2009, Xie Yuan’s daughter was born.
Assuming that Tian Shan's opening of a dumpling restaurant on the pedestrian street is related to Meng Yuanming, then Tian Shan should have restored her relationship with Meng Yuanming in 2007. In this way, when Xie Yuan's daughter Xie Ziyao was born, Tian Shan should have maintained a relationship with two men at the same time, so this Xie Ziyao
Could this be the reason why Xie Yuan and Tian Shan refused to speak?
It’s easy to understand why Tian Shan concealed her relationship with Meng Yuanming. No woman wants to be accused of cheating. Now that Meng Yuanming is dead, as long as she doesn’t admit it, no one can prove her cheating.
Assuming that Xie Ziyao is Xie Yuan's daughter, then why did Xie Yuan hide the relationship between Tian Shan and Meng Yuanming? In order to keep his daughter's mother?
Assuming that Xie Ziyao is Meng Yuanming's daughter, then for Xie Yuan, his wife and children are no longer his, why should he hide it? To conceal his crime or to save face?
Su Le felt that there was still something missing, which prevented these problems from being well connected. What was missing?
Just when Su Le was thinking hard under the eaves of the dumpling house about the case, he saw the door of the flower shop opposite opened and a little girl walked out. It was Tian Shan's daughter Xie Ziyao. Su Le had an idea and asked Tian Shan's flower shop
Go.
Today happened to be Saturday, and students were not in school. Xie Ziyao did her homework in her mother's flower shop for a while, and then ran outside to play by herself. Although the sun was shining brightly, it could not stop the girl's desire to kick the shuttlecock.
After just a few kicks, the little girl was already sweating profusely.
"Your name is Yaoyao, right?" Su Le walked over and deliberately avoided the door of the flower shop.
"Uncle, I have seen you." Yaoyao looked up at Su Le and said.
"Yao Yao doesn't go to school?"
"It's Saturday, no school."
"Oh, look, uncle is so busy that he forgot that today is Saturday."
"Aren't you all busy, adults?"
"Yeah, they're all very busy."
"Well, dad is also very busy and hasn't been home for several days." Yaoyao's eyes showed disappointment.
"Dad and uncle both have to make money to buy you delicious food. What does Yaoyao like to eat?" Su Le asked.
"I like to eat KFC, French fries, and fried chicken." Yaoyao beamed with joy when she talked about eating.
"Yao Yao likes to eat dumplings?"
"Dumplings? I don't like it. Yaoyao has never eaten dumplings." Yaoyao said with wide eyes.
"Why hasn't Yaoyao ever eaten dumplings? My uncle likes dumplings the most."
"Mom, mom said the dumplings are not delicious."
Su Le was not surprised when Yaoyao's mother said the dumplings were not delicious. Looking at her childish face, Su Le wanted to grab something, but couldn't.
"Yao Yao, who are you talking to?" Tian Shan walked out of the flower shop and asked.
"It's me, Ms. Tian." Su Le straightened up and greeted Tian Shan.
"It turns out to be Officer Su. I happen to have something to ask you." Tian Shan pulled Yaoyao over and said to him:
"Yao Yao, go inside and play. I'll say a few words to uncle."
"I know, mom." Yaoyao agreed and ran into the store.
"Officer Su, when will my husband be released?" Tian Shan asked.
"Now that the case has not been solved, and your husband's suspicion cannot be cleared, he probably won't be able to come out for the time being." Su Le looked at Tian Shan and said in embarrassment.
"Can I be released on bail pending trial?" Tian Shan asked.
"The legal provisions are yes, but it depends on the specific situation."
"Then can you see Xie Yuan's situation?"
"It's really hard to say. The main reason is that we feel that Xie Yuan is hiding something from us. If he doesn't tell us, even if he really didn't kill anyone, it's hard to say whether he can be released on bail."
"Oh, then I'll discuss it with the lawyer."
"Yes, the lawyers are more experienced. It would be better to discuss it with them."
At this time, Su Le's cell phone rang. It was He Xiaohui calling.
"Su Le, come to the branch immediately. There is a new situation."
After Su Le returned to the branch, he saw Zhang Pengfei, who had been sent out to understand the situation, and Deng Ru and Ding Yiran had returned. He Xiaohui convened everyone for a case analysis meeting. After discussion, everyone decided to interrogate Xie Yuan again immediately.
The atmosphere in the interrogation room did not seem as tense as the previous few times. He Xiaohui held his own cup of hot water and looked at Xie Yuan with a smile. Su Le also operated the computer with a confident look. Xie Yuan saw He Xiaohui's expression,
My heart began to beat a little. After five minutes of this, He Xiaohui finally put the thermos cup on the table and said with a smile:
"Xie Yuan, today I give you the last chance to confess and be lenient. I hope you can seize it. I know what you are worried about, but I think the truth is better than anything else. Maintaining a lie will have a huge psychological burden.
"
Xie Yuan looked up at He Xiaohui without speaking.
He Xiaohui said to Xie Yuan again:
"I can wait until you think about it again."
After He Xiaohui's words fell, the interrogation room fell into silence again. As time passed, Xie Yuan's originally lowered head raised and then lowered. Sweat beads gradually appeared on his forehead and gradually disappeared. Xie Yuan
His hands kept stroking, sometimes crossing his fingers, sometimes clenching his fists.
He Xiaohui and Su Le looked at Xie Yuan's subtle body movements and knew that Xie Yuan was having a fierce ideological struggle in his heart. They had already grasped enough clues to defeat Xie Yuan's inner defenses. These were just preparations for the final blow.
Just prepare.
Xie Yuan finally raised his head and looked at He Xiaohui, hugged each other tightly with his hands, and said firmly:
"I didn't kill anyone, and I have nothing else to explain."
"Well, since you choose not to say anything, let me tell you a story." He Xiaohui opened the thermos cup and took a sip of water, then told Xie Yuan the following story.
In 1972, a thin little boy was born in a remote mountain village in Jiangnan Province. His family was afraid that he would not grow up, so they named him Tiezhu. He was the third eldest child in the family, with two older sisters.
Under the careful care of his parents and two older sisters, Tie Zhu grew up healthily. From elementary school to high school, his academic performance was always among the best. In the college entrance examination, he was admitted to the chemical engineering department of a famous university in Northeast China with excellent results.
Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, it is 1994, and Tie Zhu is already in his senior year. After writing his graduation thesis, Tie Zhu can successfully graduate from college and start working. But who knows that an accident happened at this time?
, completely changed Tie Zhu’s life.
The glass fragments produced by the explosion in the laboratory hit Tie Zhu's lower body, which not only caused Tie Zhu to stay in the hospital for three months, but also caused him to completely lose his fertility.
He Xiaohui said this, picked up a piece of paper, walked to Xie Yuan, and handed it to him silently.
Xie Yuan glanced at the piece of paper. It was a copy of a hospital medical record. He didn't pick it up. He held his head in his hands and sobbed softly.
As the scar in Xie Yuan's heart was uncovered, his motive for killing was clearly revealed in front of people. Xie Yuan had no choice but to fully explain his actions.
