choose.
On October 22nd, it had been three days since Xu Lang came back from Wuma City. He was still not in a hurry to interrogate Qin Fen. Xu Lang was waiting for the relevant investigation results about Qin Fen and was fully prepared to make one move.
Qin Fen was taken down, and Qin Fen seemed to have noticed something in the past few days. He became more leisurely in the detention room, eating and sleeping when he should, as if he was completely unaware of his current situation, and a Xu Lang
The game with Qin Fen has begun to unfold quietly.
Qin Mingyue, who is still in Wuma City, has found some key clues with the assistance of Li Kui and others from the Wuma City Criminal Investigation Team. However, these clues are still too few to prove that Qin Youqi's death is related to
Qin Fen has a direct relationship.
That morning, Xu Lang personally sent Xiao Yueyue to school and went to work at CSY. When passing by the guard room, the guard uncle stopped Xu Lang and said that there was a express delivery addressed to Xu Lang.
Xu Lang frowned subconsciously when he heard that there was a courier of his own, but it was still a courier that he took from the guard room.
The express box only has the name and address of the recipient, but no relevant information about the sender. It seems that it is an anonymous express delivery. The express delivery is not heavy, but it is not light either. It is almost as heavy as a basic number.
When he came to the office, Xu Lang looked at the express box in front of him and frowned. He didn't know what was in the express box. However, Xu Lang didn't think too much and took out the paper knife and opened the express box.
When the packaging of the express box was removed, Xu Lang found that there were only three black notebooks in the express box. When he saw these three notebooks, Xu Lang's pupils shrank subconsciously, and he recognized these three notebooks at a glance.
The notebooks were exactly the three diaries he had found in Qin Liang's bedroom in Room 604. However, because of Ma Chunmei's appearance, someone took away the three diaries. Xu Lang had been wondering who took them away.
Got a diary.
At first, Xu Lang thought it was Qin Fen. Later, when Xu Lang learned that Qin Fen was in Canghai City at that time, he knew that it was not Qin Fen who took the diary, but someone else. However, who was this person?
Xu Lang still didn't understand who it was and why they did this. Now, when the case has reached the most critical moment, Xu Lang felt very strange that these three diaries appeared in such a way.
Although there were countless doubts in his heart, Xu Lang opened the three diaries and browsed them carefully. As the pages filled with writings were opened, Xu Lang's face became more and more solemn, because,
This book immediately records the love, hatred and resentment of three generations of the Qin family. The truth inside is like a bloody TV series, which opened Xu Lang's eyes.
It took Xu Lang more than two hours to read the three diaries.
When he finished reading the last page of text, Xu Lang closed the diary, raised his head, exhaled a long breath, leaned back on the chair tiredly, and fell into deep thought.
I don't know how long it took, but Xu Lang sat upright, got up from the chair, walked out of the office, and said to Ding Haoqiong: "Go and bring Zhao Shuzhen and his family to CSY. If you need to know something from them,"
Hearing this, Ding Haoqiong was slightly startled, and asked with surprise and confusion: "What new clues did you find?"
Xu Lang didn't speak, just nodded slightly.
When Ding Haoqiong saw this, he didn't say much, called Fan Yang and Lai Pi, and left CSY together.
When Ding Haoqiong and the others came to Zhao Shuzhen's house, Zhao Shuzhen and her son and daughter were having breakfast. There were only three of them at home. Zhao Shuzhen's children were a little surprised and confused by the appearance of Ding Haoqiong and the others. Only Zhao Shuzhen seemed to have been there early.
As expected, she still ate her breakfast leisurely. After seeing a little curiosity about them, she asked: "Three police officers, have you eaten? How about we eat something together?"
Ding Haoqiong frowned, looked at Zhao Shuzhen, and said: "Zhao Shuzhen, right? I am Ding Haoqiong, the deputy leader of the CSY criminal investigation team in S City. Now, there are some things that I need to trouble you to come with us and go to CSY to talk about it.
clear."
Zhao Shuzhen was not surprised. She just nodded, put down the chopsticks in her hands, picked up a tissue from the dining table, wiped her mouth, stood up, and said, "Let's go."
After saying this, Zhao Shuzhen took the lead and walked towards the door.
Zhao Shuzhen's son and daughter also stood up, looked at Zhao Shuzhen's back and shouted: "Mom."
Hearing this call, Zhao Shuzhen paused slightly, turned around, looked at them with a smile, shook her head and said, "It's okay, I'm just cooperating with the police officers to investigate the situation, and I'll be back in a while."
"You may have heard wrong, it's not you, but you guys, let's go together." Ding Haoqiong said coldly.
Zhao Shuzhen was stunned for a moment, as if she had thought of something. Her slightly cloudy eyes moved slightly, nodded, and said, "Okay then."
In this way, Zhao Shuzhen's family of three were taken away along with Ding Haoqiong.
————
CSY, ask indoors.
Zhao Shuzhen sat on a chair, Xu Lang and Fan Yang sat opposite her, looking at each other
Staring at each other.
"Ms. Zhao, we meet again." Xu Lang spoke first.
Zhao Shuzhen nodded and said, "Yes, Officer Xu, we met again. How is the investigation of the case? Is there any progress?"
Zhao Shuzhen didn't seem to be panicking, but asked about the investigation progress of the case in a serious manner.
"hehe......"
Xu Lang smiled and looked at Zhao Shuzhen. He did not talk nonsense, but went straight to the point and asked: "Thirty-three years ago, how did your husband Qiu Jiming die?"
"An accidental car accident. This matter was already determined back then. Why did Officer Xu suddenly ask about this?" Zhao Shuzhen looked at Xu Lang and said calmly.
"Accidental car accident? Zhao Shuzhen, thirty-three years ago, your husband Qiu Jiming suffered from liver cancer, and it was in the advanced stage. As his wife and bedside person, how would you not know about this?" Xu Lang stared into Zhao Shuzhen's eyes.
asked.
Hearing the words "late stage liver cancer", Zhao Shuzhen's eyelids twitched violently a few times, and her face became panicked for a moment. She quickly lowered her head, raised her head, and smoothed her hair on her temples.
After being silent for a while, Zhao Shuzhen raised her head, looked at Xu Lang and said: "As we get older, our memory becomes less good and we can't remember many things. He has been dead for more than thirty years.
I'm a little confused about what he looks like, and I don't remember what you said."
"Oh, really? Do you really not remember?"
Xu Lang put his hands on the table, leaned forward slightly, looked at Zhao Shuzhen and asked.
"I'm a widow, and it's been very hard for me to raise two children by myself all these years. Officer Xu, I heard that you are also raising your children by yourself. Aren't you very tired?"
Xu Lang didn't speak, just looked at Zhao Shuzhen.
Zhao Shuzhen continued: "Presumably, Officer Xu has also experienced the hardships of a single father. You only have one child, and I have two. What's more, I am still a woman. Women still suffer in many things. Experience
Too many bad things have happened. Now that my children are older and have a family and a career, I am also old. I don’t want to think about the past things anymore.”
"I heard that you and Qiu Jiming used to work together in a bus company. They fell in love for a long time and loved each other very much. For him, you were willing to become a housewife. Since you love him so much, why don't you remember things about him? And he still has liver cancer.
What about such a big thing?" Xu Lang asked.
"Love? Haha... Officer Xu, don't you even look at how old I am now. At that time, there was no way we were in love or not. We just looked at each other and we were both single.
It's just living together, not as romantic as you said." Zhao Shuzhen said lightly.
"Qiu Jiming's health is not good, did you know?"
Zhao Shuzhen nodded and said: "I know, people like us who have been running sports cars for a long time are not in good health. At that time, the living conditions were not very good and life was hard. How can our health be better?"
"We found your husband Qiu Jiming's medical examination form in the hospital. It clearly stated that he had liver cancer and it was in the late stage. How do you explain this?"
While Xu Lang was talking, he took out a yellowed and wrinkled physical examination sheet and showed it to Zhao Shuzhen.
Zhao Shuzhen pursed her lips when she saw the medical examination form. She only glanced at it, then turned her head without looking at it again and said: "Jiming is a boring person. He likes to bury everything in his heart. No.
Are you willing to tell me, if you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known about this."
"Oh, really? But why is there your signature on this list? Can you explain it to me?" Xu Lang continued to ask.
"...."
Zhao Shuzhen was silent.
"Your husband Qiu Jiming was diagnosed with terminal liver cancer in March, and he died unexpectedly in July. However, after Qiu Jiming's death, you moved. Not only did you change your home, but you also got a new home.
I got a job and got 1% of the shares of Qin Youqi Machinery Processing. Is this a coincidence?" Xu Lang continued to ask.
"...."
Facing Xu Lang's aggressive questioning, Zhao Shuzhen lowered her head and said nothing, as if she really didn't know the truth.
"You know Qin Youqi, right? If our investigation is correct, you were once neighbors, right?" Xu Lang said again.
"How do you know?"
Hearing what Xu Lang said, Zhao Shuzhen suddenly raised her head and looked at Xu Lang blurting out.
However, Zhao Shuzhen regretted it after saying this. Obviously, her reaction proved the relationship between her and Qin Youqi.
"According to our investigation, thirty-three years ago, Qin Youliang, Qin Youqi's brother, got married in June, and Qin Youliang's wife was Qiao Na, who is now Qin Youqi's wife Qiao Lina, who originally sent them back to their hometown in Yunnan City
The person was none other than your husband Qiu Jiming, and in July, Qin Youliang and Qin Youqi returned to Yunnan City again, and it was your husband Qiu Jiming who drove the car."
"So what? Jiming is the driver of the long-distance bus that runs from City S to Yunnan City. Is it strange that he sent Qin Youqi and the others to Yunnan City?" Zhao Shuzhen asked in return.
"There was no problem originally. As you said, Qiu Jiming is a long-distance bus driver who specializes in running this line, and Qin Youqi
They are just a few of the many passengers. However, the problem is that we investigated your bankbook and found that in July thirty-three years ago, when Qiu Jiming sent Qin Youqi and the others back to Yunnan City, there were suddenly many
I paid 10,000 yuan, and the payee was you, but the sender was Qin Youqi. Can you explain to me why? Why did Qin Youqi give you 10,000 yuan?" Xu Lang looked at Zhao Shuzhen and asked.
Zhao Shuzhen's face became gloomy and uncertain. She looked at Xu Lang in great surprise. It seemed that she did not expect that Xu Lang could actually find out what happened more than thirty years ago, which surprised her.
"That... that... that 10,000 yuan was what we lent to Qin Youqi before, and he paid it back." Zhao Shuzhen defended.
However, her defense seemed very feeble at this moment.
"hehe......"
Xu Lang smiled, looked at Zhao Shuzhen, and said with a smile: "Are you kidding me? More than thirty years ago, more than eighty years ago, there didn't seem to be that many households worth ten thousand yuan in our S City. Even if there were, in the past
I'm afraid you and Qiu Jiming can't afford that much money from your salary. Since you said that you lent this ten thousand yuan to Qin Youqi, then I want to ask where you got this ten thousand yuan.
?”
"This...this...I...he..."
Zhao Shuzhen became a little incoherent. Obviously, the situation that Xu Lang found out was indeed something Zhao Shuzhen did not expect.
"After Qiu Jiming sent the Qin Youqi brothers back to Yunnan City, a car accident occurred when they returned. We visited and investigated. According to their memories, colleagues who worked with your husband Qiu Jiming at that time said that your husband's driving skills were very good.
Among the group of bus drivers at that time, he was definitely one of the best, and when you were with him, you also took a fancy to his skills. Why would an old driver who often travels on mountain roads drink before driving, and in an accident?
When the incident happened, no emergency measures were taken? Why? Zhao Shuzhen, can you explain it to me? "
"...."
Zhao Shuzhen remained silent, but the calmness and calmness on her face before disappeared without a trace, leaving only panic and complexity. Perhaps, she did not expect that after thirty-three years, Xu Lang could still investigate
So many clues.
"What I'm curious about is that when we went there, there were two people, Qin Youqi and Qin Youliang. When we came back, there was only Qin Youliang, and the person who took your husband to drink was Qin Youqi. What makes me even more curious is that in
After Qiu Jiming's accident, you immediately moved with your children to Chengxi District, which is only two streets away from Qin Youqi's house. The house you live in now is not cheap, whether it was at that time or now.
They’re not cheap, why?”
"...."
"If the bus driven by Qiu Jiming encountered a landslide or mudslide, it was an accident. However, drunk driving and fatigue driving were also one of the reasons why your husband was killed, and it was Qin Youqi who caused your husband's drunk driving and fatigue driving. If you find such a
He said that your husband's death had a lot to do with Qin Youqi. You should hate him very much. However, instead of hating him, you lived in the house he bought for you for more than thirty years.
, you not only live in the house he bought for you, but you also go to work in his factory, and you still have shares in his factory. What is the reason that allows you to give up the hatred in your heart and the murder of your husband?
How do people get along day and night? Is it love? Or, was all this planned by you before? Ah? Zhao Shuzhen."
"Pah,"
At the end of the sentence, Xu Lang slammed the table, looked at Zhao Shuzhen and scolded.
Zhao Shuzhen was already very panicked. After hearing what Xu Lang said, she shivered with fright and her body tensed up instantly. Her face was bloodless and as white as a piece of white paper.
"Zhao Shuzhen, I admit that it is not easy for a single woman to raise a child, but is it really that difficult for you? You said you have suffered a lot. I really want to know, what hardships have you suffered over the years?
Have you been to the scene of the car accident? In addition to your husband Qiu Jiming, there were other victims and victims. Wasn’t it tragic? When you saw all this, what were you thinking? In the next thirty years
Have you dreamed about them over the years? Have they come to you? Do you know how many people have suffered and how many children have lost their fathers, mothers, husbands, wives, and sons because of your husband’s selfishness?
,Daughter, it’s not easy for you, but what about them? Is it easy for them? They still don’t know the truth, but you know it, but you refuse to tell it. Is your conscience okay? "
Zhao Shuzhen wore a string of pear blossom bracelets engraved with Bodhisattva on her wrist. The bracelets were rubbed very smooth and round, and it looked like they had been used for a long time. At this time, she kept turning the beads in her hands and her mouth kept moving.
He seemed to be saying something.
"Do you believe in Buddhism? Last time I went to your home, I noticed that there was a statue of Bodhisattva in your home. Moreover, after our investigation, we found that over the years, on the first and fifteenth day of every month, you would
Go to the temple to burn incense, why? Is it repentance? Or is it self-salvation, or is it self-paralysis? Is it useful?" Xu Lang asked unforgivingly.
"Crack."
As Xu Lang finished his last words, the string of Buddhist beads that had been worn on Zhao Shuzhen's wrist for more than thirty years suddenly broke, and the beads with Bodhisattva engraved on them instantly fell to the ground, making a ding-dong-dong sound, and
Zhao Shuzhen looked at this scene with a pale face, tears flowing from her cloudy eyes.
