"Just knowing each other is enough."
Gao Huanyu's expression was gentle, as if he was just chatting with her.
"What is your relationship with Qiao Yulan?"
Qu Jingyun licked his dry lips and answered cautiously:
"It's just the normal superior-subordinate relationship in the art troupe."
Gao Huanyu watched her expression intently and continued to ask:
"So when was the last time you saw her?"
Qu Jingyun pretended to think for a moment and hesitated:
"I can't remember. Didn't they say she instigated Lin Qiao to poison her and then ran away? I haven't seen her since."
Liu Jun sneered:
"Heh, the way you art troupe members harm others is really the same. You all like to poison people. Did you teach them that?"
Qu Jingyun's face changed drastically after hearing this, and he quickly shook his head:
"Comrade Public Security, don't say anything careless. I didn't teach her to poison! The drug they used was different from the one I used. I have nothing to do with that incident."
Gao Huanyu raised the corner of his mouth slightly:
"Oh, do you know what medicine Lin Qiao gave me?"
Qu Jingyun choked. He was in such a hurry to distance himself from the matter that he let the cat out of the bag without noticing.
She quickly rounded up the words:
"Comrade Public Security, the art troupe had a major incident recently, nearly resulting in a mass poisoning incident. As the troupe's deputy director, I must understand the entire situation before reporting to my superiors."
Gao Huanyu didn't comment on her answer, but instead pushed another photo over from his hand:
"Then take a look. Do you recognize this person?"
Qu Jingyun looked down, and the next second she screamed in terror, nearly falling off her chair.
"What, what is this?!"
The photo showed a pale, swollen corpse with its skin covered in ruptured wounds. The bloodless flesh inside was all exposed, looking extremely disgusting and terrifying.
Gao Huanyu's voice was cold:
"Don't you recognize her? This is Qiao Yulan!"
Originally, because the female corpse's appearance was completely destroyed, the police could not find out the identity of the deceased for a while, but a photo of the scene taken by the forensic doctor became the key to solving the case.
There was a square birthmark on the shoulder of the female corpse, which could be clearly identified even after being swollen from being soaked in water. The police officer in the police station who was previously in charge of the poisoning case of the art troupe recognized it at a glance. The square birthmark was exactly the same as the birthmark in the photo of Qiao Yulan, who had never been arrested.
After forensic confirmation, the deceased was identified as the fugitive Qiao Yulan.
The blood had drained from Qu Jingyun's face, and her complexion looked not much better than the female corpse in the photo.
What she was most worried about happened. Qiao Yulan's body was actually found by the police!
Gao Huanyu didn't give her a chance to think and continued to ask:
"Even if you don't recognize the body, you should recognize the clothes it's wearing, right?"
Qu Jingyun's heart trembled, and she began to frantically recall what Qiao Yulan was wearing that night. She had no recollection of it at all. She could only muster up the courage to glance at her, and after just one glance, she froze in place.
The corpse was wearing the violet silk suspender dress she had bought during last year's National Day!
This bitch actually stole her clothes to wear?!
Liu Jun noticed her expression change for a moment and said angrily:
"Recognized you? We won't beat around the bush with you. If you tell us the truth now, we'll handle this matter according to your own instructions!"
"If you still harbor hope and refuse to confess, then after we've finished speaking, even if you refuse to confess, you will bear the consequences yourself!"
After he finished his intimidation, Gao Huanyu calmly added:
"Let me remind you, we've checked the department store's sales records. Only two copies of this skirt were sold in the entire city, and they were sold after Qiao Yulan disappeared. More than one salesperson confirmed that you were the buyer of one of the skirts, and we've already confirmed the buyer of the other, and the skirt is at her home."
"We'll give you one last chance. Confess and we'll give you leniency. Resist and we'll punish you severely!"
Qu Jingyun was shaking like a sieve at this moment. The police's words revealed that they had confirmed that the skirt Qiao Yulan was wearing was hers, and there were witnesses to testify. It was useless for her to deny it.
If she did not admit to killing Qiao Yulan, the police would definitely follow the clue of the skirt and would inevitably go to the Qi family to investigate.
Based on her understanding of Qi Guangyao, if the police asked him just two questions, he would be scared to death and confess everything.
No, if Qi Guangyao also goes to jail, there will be no hope for them, mother and son!
Even if she cannot walk out of the prison alive, her son must live well and live like a superior person!
Qu Jingyun was quickly weighing the pros and cons in his mind. Under extreme pressure, he finally had no choice but to make up his mind and take the responsibility of murdering Qiao Yulan.
"I said, I'll confess everything."
"At the time, Qiao Yulan threatened me to give her some money and run away. If I didn't give her, she would go to the police station and turn herself in, saying she was under my orders. I originally thought that spending money would make things worse, so I gave her some money. Who knew that she would come back again and again, asking for money, clothes, and letters of introduction. I couldn't stand it anymore, so..."
Seeing Qu Jingyun admitting his crime so readily, Liu Jun's eyes lit up with joy. He turned to look at Gao Huanyu, and heard him ask:
"With your height and strength, you're no match for Qiao Yulan, who's younger than you. How did you kill her by yourself? Where did you kill her? What weapon did you use?"
Qu Jingyun's expression changed, and he knew that this young policeman was not so easy to deal with.
Her mind raced, and she quickly came up with a perfect scapegoat:
"I didn't intend to kill her. I pretended to meet her at the back of People's Park to get some money. When she arrived, I asked Du Anping, who was waiting there, to teach her a lesson and told her not to come to me again after she got the money. Du Anping handled everything that happened afterwards. I know nothing about it."
"Qiao Yulan never came to see me again. I thought she was afraid of Du Anping, but I didn't expect that she was killed by Du Anping."
......
Coming out of the detention center, Liu Jun patted Gao Huanyu on the shoulder with a relaxed look on his face:
"Qu Jingyun admitted it, so Qiao Yulan's case is solved."
"Although Du Anping is dead, Qu Jingyun, as the instigator, is also implicated. Why are you frowning so tightly?"
Gao Huanyu walked along, frowning in thought:
"Qu Jingyun had always refused to admit that she had any relationship with Du Anping, but today she confessed Du Anping so readily. I feel like something is wrong."
Liu Jun smiled disapprovingly and said:
"What's wrong? Isn't it because we have irrefutable evidence that she admitted it?"
