[Chapter 79, Speed Train 12-The truth comes to light]
Mrs. Mei looked at the photo and fell into memories. She seemed to recall many beautiful past events. A faint smile appeared on her wrinkled face, but soon her fingers began to tremble violently and her eyes filled with tears.
The girl in the photo gradually became blurry in her eyes, and the old lady carefully put the photo back into her pocket.
Her throat seemed to have been ground by sand, and her voice was hoarse: "After Ruirui died, Li Zhemin moved with his new wife. He never mentioned Ruirui's name in front of his son Li Mo... After so many years, Ruirui
On the anniversary of Rui Rui’s death, he rarely visits the grave in person... Do you think he has a guilty conscience? He must have caused Rui Rui’s death! That’s why I personally killed him on the day of Rui Rui’s death!”
Xiao Lou looked at Yu Hanjiang, and Captain Yu also looked back at him. The two of them made eye contact, and it was obvious that they didn't believe her words.
Mrs. Mei is too old and in poor health. How can she accurately insert insulin into Li Zhemin's body?
Moreover, the murder of Li Zhemin was obviously a sophisticated plan. First of all, it was necessary to investigate Li Zhemin's diabetes condition; secondly, he had to understand some medical knowledge and know what dose of insulin could kill people; furthermore, it also took time to prepare tools such as syringes and insulin.
How does an old lady in her seventies with limited mobility do all this?
Yu Hanjiang looked at the old lady and whispered in her ear: "Aunt Mei, Li Zhemin's crime is indeed unforgivable, but if you want to take the blame for the murderer, I suggest you not to take this risk. The police have many high-tech detection methods. We
We have found the murderer's crime tools, the fingerprints on the syringe, and the source of the insulin. As long as we investigate, we can always find out the truth."
Mrs. Mei's eyes were calm and her expression was calm, as if she knew she was going to die soon and had been mentally prepared for it. She listened carefully to Yu Hanjiang's words with her ears raised, then smiled and said: "Young people, you should believe me.
Even if the police go to check, the result will be the same. There are only my fingerprints on the syringe - because I am the only one who has touched the syringe."
Xiao Lou Wen said: "Auntie, you are so old and can't hold the syringe firmly. How can you accurately inject the medicine into Li Zhemin's body? If you insert the needle a few more times, Li Zhemin will die no matter how hard he sleeps."
Awakened by pain?"
Mrs. Mei said with a smile: "He won't wake up."
Xiao Lou was stunned: "What do you mean?"
Mrs. Mei held her chest and coughed for a moment, then whispered: "Whatever he fed Ruirui, I fed him."
Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou were shocked at the same time - had Li Zhemin taken sleeping pills before going to bed?
Mrs. Mei smiled and said: "Li Zhemin has a habit of drinking a bottle of milk before going to bed. The milk in his bag was given to him by me before getting on the train. There are things added in it. Do you understand?"
Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou: "..."
Mrs. Mei put away her smile and said coldly: "After playing cards at two o'clock last night, he drank a packet of milk before going to bed. There were sleeping pills in it. No matter how loud the noise was, he couldn't wake him up. I do
People are old and have bad eyesight, so when we give him an injection, even if we poke him several times, he won't wake up."
Sleeping pills cannot be seen on the surface. The deceased must be taken for testing to find out. Even Xiao Lou, a forensic doctor, cannot directly determine that Li Zhemin took sleeping pills before going to bed. No wonder there was so much movement last night, but Li Zhemin slept well.
Like a dead pig, it turned out that the old lady had been prepared.
Yu Hanjiang asked in a low voice: "Insulin, where did you buy it from?"
Mrs. Mei said: "I asked Shu Ping to buy it. She has diabetes and can find a doctor to prescribe insulin."
Xiao Lou asked in confusion: "Then why did Shu Ping use an insulin pen and buy you a syringe and injection?"
Mrs. Mei smiled and said: "I asked the doctor. Use a syringe to extract the injection and inject it under the skin. Excessive injection will be life-threatening, especially for patients with high blood pressure and heart disease. You must pay attention to the dosage. Using this thing to kill people is better than insulin."
The pen is much more convenient. So I specifically asked Shu Ping to buy me the most traditional syringe and extractable insulin."
Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou looked at each other.
Mrs. Mei had already thought up all her excuses. What she said sounded reasonable on the surface, but in fact it was full of loopholes. When Shu Ping was asked to help buy insulin, Mrs. Mei herself did not have diabetes. How could Shu Ping not ask?
Just ask and buy it for her?
If Shu Ping really helped buy it, why did Shu Ping hide in the dining car when she heard her going to the toilet?
Obviously, Mrs. Mei wanted to put all the blame on herself - she was protecting Shu Ping. Maybe it was not her who administered the sleeping pills, but Shu Ping's hand.
Yu Hanjiang was silent for a moment and then said: "Shu Ping wanted to kill Li Zhemin, but you saw her tampering with Li Zhemin's milk, and you saw her secretly taking syringes and insulin, so you decided to take the blame for her... right?
"
Mrs. Mei's eyes were red, and she said in a trembling voice: "No! I was the one who killed the person. You can look at the fingerprints on the syringe and the insulin needle. I inserted it myself. It has nothing to do with Shu Ping!"
She swore that her fingerprints were on the syringe, which was counterintuitive.
Normally, the murderer would deliberately erase his fingerprints when committing a crime, but she deliberately left her fingerprints - this was obviously to make the police think that the murderer was her, thus protecting the real perpetrator.
Last night, Shu Ping hid in the dining car when she went to the toilet for the first time; the second time, Shu Ping may not have been able to hide, and the two met in the corridor. According to Zheng Weiguo's testimony, he heard Mrs. Mei and Shu Ping
Ping spoke softly in the distant corridor.
What did they say?
Perhaps Mrs. Mei found out that Shu Ping was about to take action, so she took the initiative to take the syringe in Shu Ping's hand and went to kill Li Zhemin herself. In this way, Shu Ping could stay out of the matter, pretend not to know, and escape legal sanctions.
Or perhaps, when Mrs. Mei discovered Shu Ping, she had already finished injecting Li Zhemin, so Mrs. Mei decided to take the blame for Shu Ping and took the initiative to leave her fingerprints on the syringe.
No matter what the situation was, she was trying to protect Shu Ping.
Xiao Lou Wenyan asked: "Aunt Mei, you must have a good relationship with Aunt Shu Ping, right? Ruirui is the sister you watched grow up. Is Aunt Shu Ping like a sister to you?"
This sentence touched the softness deep in her heart. The corner of Mrs. Mei's mouth twitched slightly, and after a moment she said with red eyes: "Xiao Ping is also a poor person... Back then, Li Zhemin was actually dating Xiao Ping secretly.
Thinking about what happened on her birthday, Ruirui was innocently implicated. Her boyfriend slept with his best friend after drinking, and Xiaoping went crazy and broke up with him decisively..."
Talking about that past event, Mrs. Mei's hands couldn't stop shaking: "In order not to make Ruirui sad, Xiaoping didn't tell her about her relationship with Li Zhemin. After Ruirui and Li Zhemin got married, Xiaoping went to the hospital.
When she found out she was pregnant, of course she refused to have the child. As a result, she suffered severe bleeding during the operation and was injured... The doctor told her that she would never have another child in her life."
Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang: "..."
Unexpectedly, Shu Ping was unable to have children as a result, and Li Zhemin was really harmful to others!
Mrs. Mei choked up and said, "She later married a doctor, who often abused her domestically. She lived a very miserable few years. Finally, her husband died, and she adopted a daughter, and then she slowly got better."
She put all her thoughts on her daughter and tried her best to cultivate her, but who knew...her daughter would actually get together with Li Zhemin's son!"
The incident between Li Mo and his daughter was the last straw that broke Shu Ping's mind.
Mrs. Mei started to cough violently again. Xiao Lou reached out and patted the old lady's back gently, and said softly: "Auntie, do you think it has been difficult for Shu Ping after so many years? Do you want to take the blame for Shu Ping?
"
Mrs. Mei shook her head: "I did inject the insulin. If you really want to say it, I am the murderer."
Yu Hanjiang frowned slightly: "In other words, at 3:40 in the morning, when you went to the toilet, you found that Shu Ping was going to kill Li Zhemin, so you snatched the murder weapon from her hand and did it yourself so that she would not commit the felony of murder?"
Mrs. Mei immediately corrected her seriously: "Shu Ping just gave me the syringe and insulin. She didn't kill Li Zhemin. Don't talk nonsense! I asked her for the insulin and injected it into Li Zhemin's body myself. This matter,
Liu Yuming can also testify."
If this is true, Shu Ping can only indirectly provide the tools to commit the crime. As long as she insists that she did not know that Mrs. Mei would kill people and thought that the other party borrowed insulin for her own use, then legally, she can be cleared of her guilt.
Mrs. Mei, you are determined to take on everything.
Sure enough, the old lady smiled and said: "It's not worth risking your life for a scum like Li Zhemin. Just let me come. Anyway, the old lady won't live long. I want to go see Ruirui as soon as possible."
Xiao Lou endured his sadness and asked softly: "You said you won't live long...did you diagnose some terminal illness?"
Yu Hanjiang was startled. He had overlooked this detail and thought that the old lady's statement that she would not live long meant that she was old.
Mrs. Mei glanced at Xiao Lou in surprise, nodded and said: "Yes, I am already in the advanced stage of bone cancer, just like Ruirui's father, who will not survive for half a year. At the beginning, I was the one who insisted on recruiting Li Zhemin into the company...
…Sigh, maybe this is retribution.”
Xiao Lou was in a complicated mood and didn't know what to say.
Yu Hanjiang also fell silent. He had seen many murderers, but when faced with this 70-year-old woman with advanced bone cancer, he could not continue to coldly ask her if she was responsible for the crime - she wanted to take the blame, so
So what? She was indeed the one who did it. In terms of evidence, morality, and law, Mrs. Mei was the person who directly caused Li Zhemin's death.
She only had half a year left to live, and she was gone in the blink of an eye.
The last thing she could do was probably take away this scumbag Li Zhemin for Shu Ping.
***
Xiao Lou personally escorted Mrs. Mei out of the office. The old lady was coughing and staggering as she walked, but her eyes were firm.
When she walked to room 3, Shu Ping came out of the room and hugged her gently with red eyes.
Mrs. Mei patted Shu Ping's shoulder with a smile, leaned into Shu Ping's ear and said: "Xiao Ping, you have to think clearly about what should be said and what should not be said... Don't forget, you still have
There is a daughter waiting for you to take care of her. Your daughter is so good, she will not want her mother to become a murderer."
Shu Ping choked and nodded. When she turned to look at Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou, this delicate and beautiful woman's face had returned to calm. She said slowly: "Am I the only one left to investigate in the end?"
Xiao Lou took her back to the office.
During this interrogation, Shu Ping was surprisingly cooperative. Yu Hanjiang didn't say a word before she took the initiative to confess: "I'm sorry, I lied to you before. In fact, I never introduced my daughter to Li Zhemin's son. It was his son who took the initiative to pursue me."
My Xiaomeng’s.”
Yu Hanjiang whispered: "Please tell us in detail what happened early this morning."
Shu Ping took a deep breath and said calmly: "I got up and went to the bathroom at 3:10. I touched my ear and found that one of the earrings was missing. I remembered that it was lost while eating in the restaurant at night.
I went to the restaurant to look for it, but it was too dark and I couldn’t find it for a long time, so I went back to Car No. 6. At about 3:30, Liu Yuming went to the bathroom with a light, and I was in the bathroom opposite him."
"Because I had a bad stomach, I stayed in the bathroom for about ten minutes. When I came out, I met Sister Mei in the corridor who had just woken up. She asked me to give her the insulin and syringes I bought, so I gave them to her."
"She turned around and went back to the house. I found the door of room 2 open, so I wanted to steal Li Zhemin's insulin to teach him a lesson, so I took off his bag and stole his insulin pen. What happened next?
, I don’t even know.”
Apparently, Mrs. Mei and Shu Ping had already prepared a confession in the early morning.
The reason for getting up in the middle of the night to steal insulin is too far-fetched, but if she and Mrs. Mei both bite this point to death, the police can't do anything to her. In fact, Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou's inference is more reasonable - Shu Ping got up in the early morning to commit the crime, and encountered
Mrs. Mei felt guilty and hid in the restaurant; then she met Liu Yuming and hid in the toilet for fear of being discovered; the third time she finally failed to hide and bumped into Mrs. Mei.
So Mrs. Mei snatched the syringe and insulin from her hand and started doing it herself.
Shu Ping had a careful plan to commit the crime, and she would definitely not leave her fingerprints when using the syringe. She could definitely say that the syringe given to the old lady was a new, unopened syringe.
On the syringe, only Mrs. Mei's fingerprints could be detected in the end.
Mrs. Mei surrendered. The motive was sufficient, the process was clear, the evidence was sufficient, and there were several time witnesses - the murderer in this case was only Mrs. Mei, and it could only be Mrs. Mei.
Xiao Lou remembered those words she said.
——It’s not worth risking your life for a scumbag.
——So let me do it.
——Your daughter is so good, she would not want her mother to be a murderer.
Mrs. Mei, Mei Ruohua, was the company's human resources director. She recruited Li Zhemin into the company when other interviewers did not rate her highly because she felt that Li Zhemin was eloquent and motivated, and was a young man worth cultivating.
.
Unexpectedly, Li Zhemin's eloquence is actually his glib tongue.
Li Zhemin's ambition is actually his determination to climb up by any means necessary.
Mrs. Mei had always felt guilty until this trip.
She was diagnosed with terminal bone cancer and didn't have much time left to live.
Before dying, she decided to kill Li Zhemin herself.
She was the one who brought the disaster of Li Zhemin in the first place. In the end, she was also responsible for taking this man away.
The author has something to say:
Shu Ping planned everything for Car No. 6, but in the end it was the old lady who made the move. Everyone should understand.
The secret room is not over yet, see you tomorrow!
