Looking at the silent Song Jingchuan, Cheng Xiaokui realized that what Song Jingchuan was talking about was definitely bigger than she had imagined.
She bit her lip lightly and asked, "Could it be that you've found evidence that my older sister is a spy?"
Song Jingchuan shook his head and said, "No, I haven't found any evidence that she's a spy yet."
Cheng Xiao Kui asked, "Even if my mom came to my house and robbed me of my money, you wouldn't look like that. You look like you're dead..."
Cheng Xiao Kui's voice suddenly stopped. She paused for two seconds and asked, "Could someone in my family have died? Who was it? My sister, my brother, or my sister's brother?"
All she could think about were her brothers and sisters, but no matter what she thought about, they were all healthy.
Although my younger brother had a brain tumor before, it has been removed. He is doing very well in his rehabilitation training. If he can continue, it is not impossible for him to regain the ability to walk.
No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't think of anyone who could be in trouble.
Song Jingchuan said, "Stop guessing...it's not your siblings, it's your mother..."
Cheng Xiao Kui's eyes widened in astonishment. "My mom? What could have happened to my mom? Was she hit by a car while crossing the street? Is it serious? Or did she get into a fight and get injured?"
She watched Song Jingchuan's expression intently, and a guess surfaced in her mind, but she denied it every time it came to her, unwilling to believe her own guess.
Song Jingchuan said, "Your mother was murdered... It happened last night. The police station's forensic doctor examined her and determined that the cause of death was bleeding from a stab wound to the heart's major artery."
Cheng Xiao Kui stared blankly at Song Jing Chuan, not even knowing how much time had passed.
She felt as if time had stopped in the whole world. She kept shaking her head and saying, "How could this be? Although she is annoying, a bully who picks on the weak and fears the strong, selfish and sexist, she hasn't bothered anyone else. She's just ruining her own family's property..."
Could it be my second aunt? My second aunt and my mom were fighting, and she accidentally hurt her..."
The only person she could think of who would fight with her mother was her second aunt.
Song Jingchuan shook his head and said, "It wasn't your second aunt. You also know the person who killed your mother; it was Wu Jianguo."
Cheng Xiao Kui looked at Song Jing Chuan in disbelief and asked, "Wu Jianguo killed my mother. Why? What grudge did my mother have against him?"
Song Jingchuan said, "That's why we can't understand it either. We just found out that Wu Jianguo was connected to spies, but we never expected to see him again. He died in your mother's yard."
Cheng Xiao Kui felt like her brain was about to explode, her head was buzzing, and Song Jing Chuan's words were almost bending her brain circuits.
She asked, "He killed my mother, and then died in our yard? What the hell?"
Song Jingchuan recounted the entire incident to Cheng Xiaokui in detail from the beginning.
The story is a bit long, but no matter how long it is, it's not as long as a person's life. The story is a bit short, but Cheng Xiao Kui just thinks that a person's life is shorter than the time it takes for a comet to streak across the sky.
After Song Jingchuan finished explaining the whole thing, he took out the statements of Cheng Chunqiu and Cheng Dongqiu from his bag.
He said to Cheng Xiao Kui, "This is a copy. Take a look. These are your brother's and sister's statements. They were at your mother's house at the time."
Cheng Xiao Kui took the statement and read it word by word. Perhaps because she had been traumatized today, she had to think for a long time to understand the meaning of each sentence, even though it was just simple Chinese.
She read Cheng Chunqiu and Cheng Dongqiu's statements several times in detail.
She covered her forehead with her hand, closed her eyes briefly in pain, and said, "I never thought he would die like this..."
Song Jingchuan said, "The strangest thing is that Wu Jianguo died of a heart attack, which was triggered by medication..."
Cheng Xiaokui said, "How could this happen? Wu Jianguo had no grudge against my mother. He had no reason to take medication that would trigger a heart attack in order to kill my mother."
As she spoke, she carefully examined the testimonies, comparing Cheng Dongkui's and Cheng Chunkui's testimonies side by side.
Suddenly, she noticed something suspicious. She said, "It's so strange. My brother said that when he went into the room, he saw my mother lying on the bed with a dagger stuck in her chest."
But my sister said that when she ran into the room, the knife was next to my mother's hand..."
Song Jingchuan said, "Yes, that's a detail. I haven't had time to look at the statements carefully yet. Why are their accounts different? Logically, neither of them should be lying."
Cheng Xiao Kui said, "If they weren't lying, my mother should have pulled the knife out herself. But did she still have the strength to pull it out? If not, then who pulled the knife out of her chest?"
Song Jingchuan pressed his fingers lightly against his furrowed brow. Based on his and the forensic doctor's assessment, the knife had likely stabbed Song Wenhui twice, and the person who pulled out the knife was undoubtedly the one who stabbed Song Wenhui in the heart a second time…
All the doubts were raised with a big question mark regarding Cheng Chunqiu.
He said to Cheng Xiaokui, "The suspicious point you discovered is very important. I'll go back and talk to the police and have them ask you to investigate it in more detail."
Also, Wu Jianguo is a clue we found. He should be a spy. I specifically asked Si Muyang to borrow his men to follow Wu Jianguo.
Unexpectedly, this lead went cold. Now we can only wait for the police to search Wu Jianguo's belongings to see if there are any useful clues.
Cheng Xiao Kui said, "I never imagined he was a spy... But why would a spy kill my mother?"
They should be killing me. Everyone suspects I'm a spy. If I die, it'll be like taking the blame for all the spies, and they'll be safe.
Killing my mother wouldn't do them any good. To silence someone, the person they kill must know a secret that can't be told to anyone else!
Song Jingchuan said, "What I can't figure out right now is what secret your mother knew that couldn't be known by outsiders, which made the spies rush to silence her."
But it's alright, the more clues that emerge, the greater the chance of uncovering the truth. I'm off now.
The clue Cheng Xiaokui mentioned was very important, and he was anxious to go back and tell the police about it.
In Cheng Xiaokui's bar, the aunties and grandmas were working while discussing the cause of Song Wenhui's death.
Cheng Chun Kui recounted the whole story to Cheng Qiu Kui and Du Zi Qiang in the room.
Cheng Qiuqiu listened and cried. She hated her mother, but she never thought her mother would leave in this way.
Cheng Chun Kui's expression was very calm, her face expressionless, as serene as an autumn pond.
Only she knows how calm she appears on the surface, but how turbulent her heart is.
She was so happy she almost jumped for joy; she never expected her plan to succeed so smoothly.
From that moment on, she would always be Cheng Chun Kui!
