Chapter 195 Waiting
Wang Yuchun said that someone asked them to burn down Guangming Supermarket before arranging a job for her youngest son.
Everyone in the police office was shocked when they heard her words. They didn't expect that there would be such a twist.
Qiu Xingsheng had been sitting down when he heard Wang Yuchun's words and immediately stood up. "Tell me! Tell me who ordered you to do this!"
The criminal liability for arson is completely different if someone is responsible for it and if someone is ordered to do so. Even if his mother did something wrong, even if he resents her deeply, she is still his biological mother, and he wants her and his brother to receive a lighter sentence.
“I…I…”
Wang Yuchun hesitated, and Qiu Xingsheng became anxious and angrily said, "You still haven't spoken yet. Do you know that if you don't speak, all the responsibility will be borne by you and Xinghua? You will receive a heavy sentence and spend many years in prison."
Wang Yuchun panicked when she heard what he said. She quickly said, "I'll tell you everything. It was Wang Jinzhi. It was the family that Wang Jinzhi worked for who asked me to do this."
"Who is Wang Jinzhi?" Qiu Xingsheng asked.
"She's the daughter-in-law of Yu Dahai from our village," Wang Yuchun said. "She's working as a nanny for someone now. She was the one who told me that if Guangming Supermarket was burned down, the family she worked for would find a job for Xinghua. At the time, you and your wife wanted to kick me out because of that supermarket, and I hated them, so I agreed. So, I was ordered to do that. I'm not guilty, and neither is my son."
"Yes, yes, I didn't mean to burn down the supermarket. My mother and I were ordered to do it," Qiu Xinghua said in a panic.
Hu Youwei glanced at them calmly after hearing what they said. "Even if you were ordered to do this, you will still bear criminal responsibility. However, if you cooperate with the investigation, your crime will be mitigated."
"Cooperate, I will cooperate." Wang Yuchun said immediately, and Qiu Xinghua nodded.
Hu Youwei then asked, "Where is the Wang Jinzhi you mentioned now? Whose family is she working as a nanny for?"
"I don't know where she is, or who she's working for as a nanny," Wang Yuchun began to panic again. She realized how little she knew about Wang Jinzhi's situation in Lizhou. If Wang Jinzhi refused to admit it, there was nothing she could do.
"How did you contact Wang Jinzhi?" Hu Youwei asked with a frown. He also realized that the matter was very tricky.
"I don't know," Wang Yuchun began to cry. "The other day, Wang Jinzhi came to me and told me she was working as a nanny for a very powerful family. That family had a grudge against the Gu family, who owned the supermarket. If I burned down the Gu family's supermarket, the family would find Xinghua a regular job and even sell him commercial grain. As soon as I heard that... I agreed."
Qiu Xingsheng was so angry that she almost died. She yelled at Wang Yuchun, "Why do you trust her so much? Why didn't you discuss it with me?"
"If I discuss it with you, you will definitely not let me do it!" Wang Yuchun was regretting it so much. How could she have been bewitched and believed what Wang Jinzhi said?
Seeing that he could not get anything out of them, Hu Youwei had Wang Yuchun and Qiu Xinghua taken away, and he went to report the situation to Zhu Qingjun.
Zhu Qingjun's brow furrowed after hearing Hu Youwei's report. He hadn't expected that after the turn of events, this would be the outcome.
"Keep looking. Even if you don't know Wang Jinzhi's contact address in Lizhou, you should know which village she's from. Find her family and ask them."
After giving this order, Zhu Qingjun added, "We must find the real culprit behind this matter. Even if we can't convict him, we must find him." Since he had given such an order, Hu Youwei naturally took it very seriously. He answered "yes" seriously and left. Zhu Qingjun thought for a moment, then picked up the phone and called Zhang Jingtong's secretary, Li Yan.
Li Yan had called before to ask specifically about Guangming Supermarket. It was obvious that Zhang Ji was very concerned about this matter. Now that there was progress, he had to report it.
After the call was connected, he recounted the progress of the case and concluded, "We will investigate quickly and we should have a result soon."
But it is easy to find the person behind the scenes, but it is hard to say whether we can convict him.
Li Yan hung up the phone, thought for a while, and then knocked on Zhang Jingtong's office door and reported the matter to him. Zhang Jingtong was silent for a while after listening. At this time, it seemed that his guess was getting closer and closer.
He sighed, waved his hand to let Li Yan go, picked up the phone and called Zhang Zijun. Now he had to let him know. If it was really the Zhu family who did it, then the matter was caused by them, and they had to come forward.
There are some things that are difficult for him to do, but Zhang Zijun can do them.
When I called him, he said, "I want to tell you something. Don't worry after hearing it."
As a father, you know best what your son's personality is like.
Zhang Zijun had just returned to Kyoto from Lizhou and was incredibly busy. He was poring over documents when he answered the phone. Having been a second-generation rich kid for years, and having slacked off every day in school, it was a real pain for him to sit quietly and study documents now.
I picked up the phone and heard his father's voice. He frowned and said, "Go ahead."
"Erhui's supermarket burned down last night. You..."
"What?" Zhang Zijun sat up, "What's on fire?"
"Calm down!" Zhang Jingtong knew he was like this. He continued, "It's been found out that it was man-made. The current situation is as follows..."
Zhang Jingtong recounted what the police had found. Zhang Zijun angrily replied, "So, it must have been someone from the Zhu family. Wait, and see what I'm going to do..."
"There's no evidence yet to prove it was the Zhu family," Zhang Jingtong said quickly, "but the truth will be revealed soon. Don't be impulsive. If it was really the Zhu family who did it, I wouldn't stand idly by."
"Okay, I got it. I'll leave for Lizhou right now." Zhang Zijun hung up the phone with a snap. Zhang Jingtong looked at the buzzing microphone in his hand and sighed. Whose temper does he resemble?
After hanging up the phone, he continued working. He knew very well that although his son sometimes acted a little muddled, he would never do anything too outrageous.
…
Gu Jianguo also learned about the progress of the case. Zhu Qingjun called to tell him. He didn't expect things to take such a turn. He thought the old lady was caught stealing and burned the supermarket out of spite.
Zhu Qingjun made it very clear that the person behind the scenes should be found out soon, but if the nanny Wang Jinzhi refused to admit it, or if she took the responsibility alone, the person behind the scenes would most likely escape punishment.
Gu Jianguo hung up the phone with Zhu Qingjun and snorted. "Will he escape the punishment of the law?" But if you do something evil, you will be punished sooner or later.
