"I was only five years old at the time, and it was my first time in that building. The place was so beautiful. My mom and I had never lived there before, so I told my dad I wanted to live there forever."
"My dad agreed to my request right away and took me to the study on the first floor. He told the old man I was his son and that his daughter was a worthless person who couldn't even give birth to a son."
"I remember the old man was very angry and wanted to hit me with his cane. I hid. He said he was going downstairs to call the police and sue my father for adultery. My father asked me to take his cane away so that he couldn't sue and I could live there forever. I loved that place so much, so I snatched his cane away on the stairs..."
What happened later was that Lu Zhicai took advantage of the fact that no one was at home and waited for Jiang Yan, who fell from the building, to die before running out to look for him. He never saw this person again.
In the other two interrogation rooms, the police officers used the same method to make them think that the others had confessed and thus said something.
But Lu Zhicai and Bai Shuiniang had already exchanged their confessions and were not afraid of these things at all, so they said nothing.
Therefore, the only breakthrough still lies with Lu Yaozu.
After Lu Yaozu finished speaking, the police officer kept his promise and brought him a bowl of noodles.
It's very late now and there's nothing outside. These noodles are left over from the afternoon and have long been cold.
But Lu Yaozu was so hungry that he just ate all the noodles.
After he finished eating, the officer continued to interrogate him.
"Do you remember your father's ex-wife?"
"Remember, my two sisters' biological mother."
"According to our police station files, she died in a fire. We performed an autopsy at the time, and that's indeed the case. However, according to the transcript provided by the informant, the gasoline that caused the fire must have been privately traded by Bai Shui Niang at the dock and then taken outside to give to your father. Do you have any explanation for this?"
After eating, Lu Yaozu tilted his head back. He was so sleepy that even though he could hear the words clearly, he still didn't open his eyes.
"I don't know anything about what you're talking about. I was still a kid at the time. Someone gave me a box of matches, and I thought fire was fun, so I lit them all and threw them on the ground. I don't know why, but the fire suddenly became very big. I was scared at the time, and I don't know who took me away. I don't remember anything else."
Anyway, he was indeed the one who set the fire, and it had nothing to do with his family. He felt that it should not affect others, so he told the truth.
He was right in what he did, but he was not yet dead! He didn't need to go to jail at all. He just had to take the blame for the incident, and he and his parents would be fine.
Originally, Lu Yaozu didn't want to say that his parents were behind this, but he thought it was wrong for a child like him to use gasoline to hurt others for no reason, so he told the truth.
After the police officer finished copying all the transcripts, he left the dozing Lu Yaozu alone and went straight to another interrogation room.
"Mother Bai Shui, your son has already taken all the blame. Do you have anything else to say?"
The string that had been tied for a long time finally broke at this moment, and Bai Shuiniang's tears suddenly burst out from her eyes.
"That's not the case. I don't know anything. I really don't know anything..."
I didn't expect that after living so peacefully for so many years, I would fall flat on my face here!
Bai Shuiniang's mind was in a mess. She only remembered that her husband said that as long as she refused to admit it even if she was beaten to death, no one would know, so she kept denying it.
"Confess and be lenient; resist and be strict. Even if not for yourself, you should also think about your child. He's only a few years old. Do you want to drag him down for the rest of his life?"
In just a moment, Officer Wu keenly caught the fear in Bai Shuiniang's eyes when she heard the news.
He was certain that the child must be her weak spot.
"What nonsense are you talking about? How did I drag him down? It was obviously you guys who were responsible. Didn't I tell you that? This matter has nothing to do with me!"
Even at this time, Bai Shuiniang's mouth was still hard.
After listening to her explanations, even the police who interrogated them were a little impressed by them for having such a strong mental state.
This is a wrong path. If he were to become a secret agent, he would definitely be great.
