One of his words touched me - if you hadn't mobilized me to cooperate with the police, how could we have been in this situation today? Now it seems that we have always been influenced by fate.
I think what he said is right. Fate does play tricks on people sometimes. If I hadn't had that idea at the time, maybe all of this wouldn't have happened, at least it would have happened later.
However, I felt that these words coming out of his mouth seemed too false, and they were also suspected of defending himself. I was disgusted. "Song Mei, what do you mean by saying this now?" I was a little embarrassed.
He asked patiently and coldly.
"Brother Feng, I know what you need most right now is to rest. But I think what you need more now is to calm down and think about the problems that arise now. Sister Zhao's matter has already happened and can never be undone. If you were there yesterday
Just call me at night. It's a pity that you no longer trust me. Hey! This is life. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Now let's talk about how to save this matter.
Let's all think about it and see if there is any good solution at the moment." He was not angry, but patiently said to me in a low tone.
"That's it. She has admitted everything. What else can I do now?" I said, no longer so hostile to him.
"When a chick hatched out of its shell, a turtle happened to pass by. From then on, the chick carried the egg shell on its back and lived its whole life. Although this story is a fairy tale, it illustrates a profound truth: in fact, it is free from the heavy egg shell.
The burden is very simple, just give up your stubbornness and prejudice." He looked at me and said, "Brother Feng, do you understand what I mean? Now, you always feel that your sister-in-law's affairs are settled, so you start to bear the shackles
, in fact, you don’t know, as long as you throw away this shackles, you can easily do the things you should do. For example, communicate with the people in the procuratorate and the court, contact the case investigators, and let them surrender and the motive of the crime.
Find reasons to mitigate the crime. Isn't this the most important thing you should do now? However, you have completely given up this effort now. Brother Feng, do you think what I said is very reasonable?" He said to me
, with a critical meaning.
His words shocked me deeply. Now I realize that I did have a problem with the way I handled this matter. Just like many of our patients completely give up treatment after learning that they have cancer. You know
, cancer, even malignant tumors, 1% of people will recover. But many people so easily give up their 1% chance of survival, and choose death so rashly
.I also made the same mistake in Meng Lei’s case, because I was also passively facing everything that had happened.
"You're right." I sighed.
"By the way, Brother Feng, has my sister-in-law told you the process of committing the crime? I guess she hasn't told you, right? If she had told you, you wouldn't be sitting here now. Alas! I didn't expect that my sister-in-law is this person.
He turned out to be a heroic woman." He said immediately.
His words made me very ashamed. Because although he was praising Zhao Menglei on the surface, I heard another layer of his meaning: Your wife is so good, but you still betrayed her. Of course, maybe this is just my personal opinion.
Feel.
"Song Mei, tell me." I said. Now I feel even more ashamed because Zhao Menglei said something to me last night -
At that time, she asked me why I didn't ask her about the process of committing the crime. I was very frightened and immediately asked her not to tell it. So she said to me: "I won't tell it. It's really embarrassing for me. What's more, it makes me sad.
If you know, it will make your crime of covering up even more solid." After she said this, I said nothing more. Now that I think about it, I was really selfish at the time, because I was very afraid of knowing in my heart.
The truth, and the most fundamental reason why I was afraid of knowing the truth was that I was worried that I would also be involved in a crime. Maybe I didn’t admit it at the time, but now I suddenly understand: I think that way. And
Now, my curiosity suddenly became stronger. I really wanted to know how Zhao Menglei killed her ex-husband without being at the scene.
"Actually, when I told you, I wasn't very clear about the entire process of her committing the crime. It was mainly based on reasoning." Song Mei said, and then told me the entire process of his investigation.
"I first checked the files of the case, including the on-site investigation, the forensic doctor's autopsy report on the victim, etc. At the beginning, I didn't find any doubts. But there is one point where I agree with Qian Zhan, that
I just felt that the deceased had no reason to commit suicide.
The deceased had a well-off family, a stable job, and several women outside. From his neighbors, we learned that the deceased and his wife often quarreled, and the deceased often beat and scolded his wife. I also investigated the financial situation of the deceased, but
But I didn't find that he was in debt. From this, I became even more suspicious of the reason for the deceased's suicide. One thing I have always believed is that any action of a person has his own personal purpose, that is to say, a person's
Many of the behaviors were motivated by motives. The deceased had no motive to commit suicide. On the contrary, the wife of the deceased had the motive to kill. When the police searched the death scene of the deceased, they found a text message on the deceased’s mobile phone.
The content was a threat to the deceased. Later, the police checked the mobile phone number that sent the text message, but found that the number did not have any information about the owner, so they determined that the mobile phone number might be a temporary card. Since the deceased had a relatively private life
It was confusing, so it was difficult for the police to find out who the owner of that number was. As a result, Qian Zhan and the others became even more suspicious of the deceased's wife, but they suffered from the lack of any evidence." Song Mei began to talk. He never mentioned it.
And Zhao Menglei's name was just expressed as "the deceased's wife". I am very grateful to him, because he did not want to embarrass me. You know, Zhao Menglei is my wife.
He continued: "Brother Feng, I only found out that my sister-in-law was the wife of the deceased when I was investigating this case. To be honest, I wanted to withdraw from the investigation of this case at that time. But Captain Qian came to warn me.
. He said to me: 'I know your relationship with Feng Xiao, but it is our duty to restore the truth of the case. Although you are not a police officer, you are already doing what the police do. You have read our files.
, and these files should have been kept confidential from people like you. You know, I took a risk on this matter. So you must continue to investigate, no matter what the result is, you must continue to investigate, otherwise
I can find a reason to bring down your company at any time. 'Brother Feng, you know, how can any of us businessmen not make mistakes? For example, tax evasion, bribery to leaders, etc., I have done all of these.
If he deliberately wanted to find trouble with me, I had no choice. And at that time, I suddenly had a despicable idea, which was to get evidence of your wife's crime through this case, so as to force you to help me implement the project.
Brother Feng, I'm sorry. Because at that time I found that you were not so enthusiastic about my project. You were only helping me because of Zhuang Qing. And I had already had conflicts with Zhuang Qing.
It's only a matter of time before we break up, right Zhuang Qing?"
I glanced at her next to me and saw that she was nodding with a blushing face, "Feng Xiao, you are right, I did come to lie to you with Song Mei for money. What I was talking about was that we were already married.
.I do need money, and Song Mei also promised to give me a large sum of money after the project is completed. But Feng Xiao, I really like you. Now I can say it to you in front of Song Mei.
This sentence, and just yesterday we went through the divorce procedures. If you don't believe it, I can go and get our divorce certificate to show you right away."
I don’t want to hear her say this. Saying such things in this situation will make me feel even more guilty towards Zhao Menglei, and Song Mei is here too, which will make me even more embarrassed and ashamed. "Song Mei, continue
"Zhuang Qing, please go back." I interrupted her directly.
"You!" Zhuang Qing suddenly became angry.
"You go back. Zhuang Qing, it's pointless to talk about those things now." Song Mei sighed, "There are some things that I'd better tell Brother Feng. Indeed, it's very inconvenient for us to talk here."
"Song Mei, why should I listen to you? I think I, Zhuang Qing, once loved you so much, but you raised so many women outside. And you, Feng Xiao! You are not a good thing either!" Zhuang Qing
Qing was furious and immediately stood up and started making a fuss at Song Mei and me.
I felt like she was acting, and I didn't believe that she was really angry. She and Song Mei had deceived me for a long time in the past, and now I don't completely trust these two people in front of me. "Zhuang
Qing, don't make any mistake, this is my home." I said coldly.
"You!" She was furious, pointing at me and speechless.
I ignored her and turned to Song Mei: "You continue."
"Feng Xiao, I didn't expect you to be such a person! And you, Song Mei! None of you men are good! I just like money, what's wrong?! I'm a woman, and when you men like me, you
He gets happy with my body, and kicks me away when he doesn't like me. Do I still dare to trust you men? I only believe in money, only money! Woohoo! You are nothing!" What I didn't expect was that
, Zhuang Qing actually started to roar, and then turned into howling.
Her crying made me feel upset, and at the same time, a trace of pity arose in my heart. I found that her crying did not seem to be fake, and I also saw that Song Mei's face had become gloomy and ugly.
