Chapter 31 This world is nothing but mediocrity
Wang Kaixuan looked at Li Ziyu blankly.
He did not feel regretful or confused, but rather seemed to be at a loss as if he had been seen through.
Li Ziyu took in his expression and lowered her eyes. "So you watched her die little by little, and then stabbed her so many times."
This is an affirmative sentence, without a trace of doubt.
She took a deep breath and said, "She didn't give you the insurance three years ago, so you hated her, but she always had money to give you, so you suppressed it for three years."
"Until she ran out of money, you broke up with her completely. When she was in front of you, you hated her, hated her for not leaving the money for you."
So he watched Zhang Jin die little by little, then stabbed his flesh again and again, enjoying the momentary pleasure.
People explore one question throughout their lives.
Is human nature inherently good or evil?
Li Ziyu didn't want to see the devil in front of him anymore, nor did he want to hear any more of his trickery.
She stood up with unsteady steps, and Lu Bai assisted her from behind.
There was only one sentence echoing in her mind.
【Crime is mediocre, life is mediocre. This world is nothing but mediocrity.】
[Arthur Conan Doyle was right. This world is nothing but mediocrity.]
Everything in the world has been done by our predecessors; there is nothing new.
She left the interrogation room, with Lu Bai following behind her. The person who walked out of the small room next to her was not Shan Qijie, but an ordinary recorder.
This was something she and Lu Bai had planned long ago.
First, he turned off the surveillance equipment in the interrogation room, and then, in a seemingly casual chat, he let Wang Kaixuan let down his guard and elicited his words.
Wang Kaixuan has been detained in the police station, so he has no idea about the progress of the case.
It was also based on this premise that she asked Lu Bai to say, "Who do you think is behind this glass?"
Finally, he pretended to talk to "Shan Qijie" behind the mirror to confuse Wang Kaixuan's thoughts and make him feel that it would be too late if he didn't say it.
At this time, Lu Bai turned on the surveillance equipment and conducted a real interrogation.
This is a risky plan and is not allowed by the process.
But time and criminals don’t care about procedures, and the three-day time limit for solving the case is about to end. There is no success without solving the case.
Lu Bai held her head. At this moment, she really felt that she was so stupid with her words that she didn't even know how to comfort others.
So many days of contact, so many discussions on cases, and the voice in her heart that caught her off guard from the beginning.
This has already made Lu Bai feel differently towards the thin man in front of him.
She wanted to protect her and understand her loneliness.
"Lu Bai." A soft call.
Lu Bai raised his head and met those eyes that seemed to hide endless sadness.
Li Ziyu was a little tired. She opened her arms and hugged Lu Bai, burying her head deep in Lu Bai's arms.
[I'm so tired, just wait for a while...]
Lu Bai didn't move, letting her hold him like this, and didn't care about the shocked looks in the office.
[Why are people always like this? They just want to take things, and when they don’t get what they want, they trample on other people’s kindness and even interpret such twisted emotions as hatred?]
Lu Bai raised his hands and hugged her, "We are police officers. We are exposed to a lot of filth in this world that others cannot see, so we have a responsibility."
Lu Bai patted her back gently, his tone was softer than ever before, "Do you like Conan Doyle?"
"Um."
"I remember him saying that life is very boring. My life is all about trying not to waste my time in mediocrity. These small cases have made me do what I want."
[Is this still the Lu Bai I know? ]
Lu Bai chuckled, "So this is how life is. We can only take on this burden, be pushed to grow step by step by responsibility, and find hope in setbacks and hardships."
[You're talking about a lot of principles, forget it, just give the Deer Team some face and don't lose it. ]
Li Ziyu said this in her heart, but she would not deliberately hide her subconscious expression.
For example, she was smiling now, without any other meaning, with a smile that came from the bottom of her heart, full of happiness and relief.
She pulled herself out of Lu Bai's arms and said, "Let's go and interrogate Shan Qijie. It's time to put an end to this case."
The other people in the office were all dumbfounded when they saw the scene in front of them.
A genius who is usually cold and scheming, and a captain who is fierce, vigorous and carefree...seem to be a good match.
In another interrogation room.
Shan Qijie didn't know what had just happened, he was still sitting there calmly.
Lu Bai looked at him like that without saying anything. He just opened the notebook on the table and called up the surveillance footage.
Inside is the video identified by Wang Kaixuan.
Shan Qijie was furious. "He is framing me! It's a blatant framing!"
Lu Bai slammed his notebook shut. "Do you think we don't have evidence? I tell you the truth, Wang Kaixuan has already gone to the scene to identify the suspect. As long as the chain of evidence is complete, you can still take the blame even if you don't say a word."
She glanced at Li Ziyu beside her, signaling her to speak out her speculation.
Li Ziyu felt more relaxed than ever after being encouraged by Lu Bai just now. She couldn't describe the feeling, but it was quite good.
Li Ziyu placed several pieces of evidence on the table one by one. "Three years ago, you and your wife tricked Zhang Jin into buying a huge insurance policy. We found this bank card in the pocket of your car."
This is the bank card in the name of Zhang Jin’s mother.
"The company you worked for at the time was legally registered under your name. Later, due to poor management, you acquired it at a very low price, which is now your factory."
These are the materials Zhang Hai just sent over.
She pointed at the document and said, "So you are short of money. I was wrong at first. I thought you were once glorious, but you weren't. You have been coveting the insurance money and want to use it to revive the factory."
Shan Qijie gritted his teeth and stared at Li Ziyu. He laughed, "Yes, that's right, I wanted the money from the beginning. I discussed with her to lend me the money. When I become rich, I will pay her back double."
He slammed the table and said, "But what about her? She keeps a gigolo! She doesn't give me a penny, so I asked her to buy insurance. She didn't agree at first, but my wife convinced her."
"During this period of time, I owe more and more money. It's all because she was unwilling to help me at the beginning. I just want her to help me now. If she dies and I report her missing after 24 hours, and then find her body, the insurance can pay a large sum of money!"
A sum of money that would be enough to pay off his debts.
Shan Qijie leaned back in his chair in frustration, "If it weren't for that pretty boy, I would have a better way to deal with the body."
He still regrets that his plan was ruined by others.
Lu Bai gritted his teeth and suppressed his anger. "So you don't claim the body because you think as long as it's been more than 24 hours and there's no evidence, you can get the money."
Shan Qijie did not deny it.
Lu Bai snorted coldly, "When your wife goes back to find you, she should persuade you to turn yourself in."
