Chapter 121 Tumi 12
Mu Yuexin lowered her head. Her face was beautiful, yet it felt unfamiliar to Luo Siwei. She was like a doll without a soul. Her tone was calm and unmoved, as if she were reciting a text rather than recounting her own experiences.
"After graduating from university, I didn't find a job, so I went straight to Potential Workshop. They trusted me more and more, and they gave me more tasks to do..."
Luo Siwei asked, "Do you know what they say and do in the organization?"
Mu Yue thought, "I've attended some courses, but I haven't participated in any teaching. Potential Workshop has all the necessary qualifications. We also have professional tax personnel."
"You should know that the police aren't looking for you because of these issues," Luo Siwei emphasized. "Have you noticed anything unusual about the students attending the class?"
Mu Yuexin thought, "We have many different courses. Some are in collaboration with Donglan University, and some are taught by experts hired from outside the province. After each course, we ask students to fill out a satisfaction rating, and their satisfaction is quite high."
Hearing this, Luo Siwei reminded her: "Mu Yuexin, you must tell me everything you know."
Mu Yuexin paused for a moment, looked up at her, and then said, "Later, I discovered that there was something wrong with the Potential Workshop's curriculum. I first felt something was wrong... because I saw a photo of a student in a social news report."
"The workshop is offering more and more courses." She lowered her head. "Some of the instructors there are very strange. I don't know where Hua Wenyi found those teachers. Their teaching methods are very inciting. I have contacted Hua Yanming more than once, hoping that he would stop allowing some of them to teach, but he didn't listen to me. He told me to do my own thing..."
At this point, Mu Yuexin was still defending herself, and her words were reserved.
Luo Siwei began to present evidence: "Do you know the Whisper APP? We found login traces on your computer."
Mu Yuexin's face turned pale: "I know..."
Luo Siwei questioned her: "Now, do you still want to say that you don't know anything?"
Mu Yuexin pursed her lips and lowered her eyes. "I'm one of the administrators. Hua Yanming felt that the Potential Workshop alone wasn't enough, so they decided to make an online app, saying they wanted to do something interesting. I initially thought they wanted to start a business and make a dating app. I was very surprised at the time why they didn't put this business under Xinming Media, but instead hired someone to do it secretly. I didn't expect it to be an anonymous software..."
Her voice became lower and lower.
"I don't like that app very much, but they said it must be supervised by someone in their group. I just delete the most inappropriate posts..."
Luo Siwei sighed silently. Until now, Mu Yuexin still refused to face reality.
Even when she arrived at the Municipal Bureau, she still seemed to be holding on to a glimmer of hope and kept telling lies to herself.
Luo Siwei felt that Mu Yuexin was like a child with his eyes covered, or like a person holding onto the edge of a cliff with his hands and not daring to let go, as if he would fall into the abyss if he let go.
But what she didn't think clearly was that she had actually fallen down a long time ago and became a rotting corpse at the bottom of the cliff.
She can't get away with these things.
Luo Siwei pried open her fingers, peeled off the moss covering the bones, and showed her the truth.
She directly exposed Mu Yuexin's lie: "Why did you appear in the hospital when I was injured in college?"
When Luo Siwei asked this question, Mu Yuexin fell silent.
After a while, she began to sob softly, tears streaming down her cheeks, and she looked pitiful.
Luo Siwei continued to point out the loopholes in her words: "Also, you received a payment from Potential Workshop when you were in college."
Mu Yuexin was forced to tell the story again. She calmed down for a while before speaking again.
The story becomes completely different.
"My mother passed away during my freshman year, and during the summer break of my sophomore year, my father was arrested. Because the other party filed for compensation, my family's assets were frozen. I didn't have enough money for next semester's tuition, so I went to Hua Wenyi for help. He didn't give me the money directly, but instead said his family wanted to start an educational institution and asked if I would like to go. During my subsequent vacations, I continued to intern at the Potential Workshop..."
Her story this time was closer to reality. Perhaps because she realized that lying was useless, she finally revealed the truth.
At this point, Mu Yuexin pursed her lips and clenched her fingers: "I was very grateful for this at the time, but I didn't expect that he was asking me to jump into the fire pit."
"At that time, the wax figure's case was causing a stir. Xinming Media, because of its coverage of the wax figure's case, gradually became the most famous news outlet in Donglan City. To get the latest news, people would install their app, and the software quickly became popular."
"It was also during that time that he and his brother seemed to be involved in some real estate transactions. Most of the time, they didn't do the business themselves, but had others help them, profiting from it and becoming increasingly wealthy."
"Later I discovered they were in contact with all sorts of strange people. Hua Wenyi reassured me that those people were his friends. I'd had dinner with them once or twice. It seemed they'd been following a master called a fortune teller, but after their master passed away, they went out on their own to find work."
Luo Siwei asked, "What are the names of those people?"
Mu Yue thought for a moment and counted on her fingers. "The oldest one among them is named Lu. He looks honest and ordinary, but the way he looks at people makes me feel quite scary. Another one is Zhang Angu, who you mentioned to me. He is a fortune teller. The others are a woman from a wealthy family named Xie Chenyu and a doctor named Lin Shuangting."
Then she paused for a moment and said, "Hua Yanming said that working in the media always requires dealing with some dirty things and some explosive news, and they can use these people..."
"The studio had just opened, so there wasn't much work. Sometimes I would help them sort out some copywriting from the media company. Then I discovered that they might be involved in the wax figure artist case."
Luo Siwei frowned as she listened to Mu Yuexin's confession. She finally talked about the issue that the police are most concerned about now. She must verify these confessions.
"Do you have any evidence to prove this?"
Mu Yuexin whispered, "Hua Wenyi and Hua Yanming... those people called them bosses. The bosses paid them to kill women. Even the location of each crime was chosen by them. They would tell them in advance where the bodies needed to be placed in the neighborhood. Then they would carry out the crime. I didn't dare call the police because Hua Wenyi once half-jokingly told me that if I didn't obey, he would make a wax figure of me too."
"Later, they asked me to handle some matters. So, I left behind some information and evidence, some of which were recorded."
"In other words, the case of the wax figure artist was a collective crime?"
Mu Yuexin nodded slightly. "That's all I know. Then, there was that time when you were injured... Hua Wenyi asked me to go see if you were awake and how much you remembered. I went and took care of you for a few days. I told them the truth: you didn't remember anything and I had no intention of harming you."
Luo Siwei listened to her. She had deduced all this with Chi Li a long time ago. Now, hearing Mu Yuexin say it herself, she still felt a little shocked.
Next, Mu Yuexin confessed relevant information about the Whisper APP. She said that except for not formulating the game, she knew everything else, including the family elimination plan. In that APP, she had very high authority, but everything she did was under the coercion and instructions of the Hua brothers.
She is willing to cooperate with the police investigation and provide them with a list of registrants.
"What is Hua Wenyi's main responsibility?"
"He made friends with a lot of second-generation people and often hung out with them. He would occasionally take me to meet them."
"Do you know their names?"
Mu Yuexin shook her head.
"Are you familiar with Lin Shuangting?"
"Doctor Lin? I've only seen him in class. I haven't seen him or Zhang Angu very often."
"Do you know the other administrators of the Whispering App?"
"I don't know the other people. I only know that Hua Wenyi left himself a webmaster number... He once asked me to find an external financial institution and transfer money to the person responsible for building the website."
Mu Yuexin frowned and thought for a while when she said this: "It seems to be called..."
Luo Siwei asked, "Cha Junxi?"
Mu Yuexin nodded: "Yes, that's the name. Those institutions are responsible for overseas transfers. I asked them to intercept some payment records for me..."
Luo Siwei asked again: "Do you know where their base is?"
Mu Yuexin was stunned: "Base?" Then she shook her head, "I don't know, I haven't heard them mention it."
Through the previous questioning, Luo Siwei had already confirmed that Mu Yuexin had lying micro-expressions. Now that she did not have those reactions, it was possible that she was indeed unaware of the matter.
Luo Siwei scribbled on the pages, organizing their criminal patterns. After the fortune teller's death, his disciples and followers gathered together, intending to start a new criminal pattern. The media company founded by Hua Wenyi and Hua Yanming needed explosive news to make money.
So the two groups hit it off.
On the one hand, they do evil and build haunted houses, while on the other hand, the media exaggerates it and provides them with a lot of funds.
Gradually, they were no longer satisfied with committing crimes themselves and began to choose more covert ways to cultivate evil.
So the Potential Workshop and Whisper APP were built.
"You haven't been involved in anything else?" Luo Siwei asked.
"What's the matter?" Mu Yuexin's voice trembled.
"Murder." Luo Siwei asked these two words.
"I didn't, I really didn't. You know, I'm timid, I wouldn't dare..." Mu Yuexin waved her hands in panic, "I've thought about leaving Donglan in the past, and I've thought about getting rid of those people. But I had no one to rely on, and I was afraid of being in danger. I just got deeper and deeper into that environment. Really, this is all I've been involved in. I feel so indebted every time I see you. Because I can't tell you the real situation."
Luo Siwei asked her many more details.
At the same time, in the observation room, Guo Zhengyao opened the evidence provided by Mu Yuexin. He read some materials and listened to several recordings.
He opened the cloud account provided by Mu Yuexin and found a list of APP users, a lot of information of which overlapped with the information already held by the police.
Guo Zhengyao's expression grew serious. He spoke to Luo Siwei through his headset, "The USB drive contains some transaction documents that prove the Hua brothers are profiting from haunted houses, as well as some other information. This information is very important."
Soon, a round of interrogation ended, and Luo Siwei asked Mu Yuexin to sign the confession.
Although Mu Yuexin had initially tried to hide and lie in an attempt to clear her name, the process went much more smoothly. It was so smooth that Luo Siwei couldn't believe it. She was always afraid there was some hidden ulterior motive.
But no matter what, she couldn't refuse the evidence that was submitted to her.
Luo Siwei quickly walked out of the interrogation room and said to the police officers, "Let's sort out the logical chain and verify the information provided by Mu Yuexin."
Luo Siwei has many years of police experience and she believes that the information may be true, or at least most of it is true.
Mu Yuexin's confession and evidence were enough to put the Hua brothers in jail. With these things, the truth was revealed, the case was clear, and they were not far from solving the case.
The police officers in the Municipal Bureau also stood up and got busy verifying and organizing the relevant information.
Busy with all this, Luo Siwei took the time to call Chi Li: "Chi Li, I may have to go over late tonight."
Chi Li asked: "Did Mu Yuexin confess?"
Luo Siwei replied, "She basically confessed everything. Although I don't believe everything, from what she provided, it seems that the information is very helpful to the police."
Chi Li was silent for a moment. "Things are going too smoothly. I'm afraid there might be a problem. How about I come over tomorrow and we discuss it?" He paused and said, "I always feel that the person behind the previous case we fought against wouldn't be so simple."
Luo Siwei said, "Then why don't you contact Director Chen? Director Chen has just approved the arrest warrant for the Hua brothers and is preparing to take action tonight..."
Chi Li said: "Okay, I will communicate with Director Chen."
Luo Siwei had just returned to the office after finishing her call when Guo Zhengyao suddenly said, "Captain Luo, there's a problem. Hua Yanming suddenly rushed out of the villa and rammed his car into one of the police cars that were on the lookout, injuring an officer."
Huo Cunsheng was surprised and said, "This guy wants to escape?!"
Luo Siwei asked, "Has the injured police officer been sent to the hospital? What about the others?"
Guo Zhengyao said: "There is no immediate danger to life. The other car has already chased after him."
It’s too late. It seems those people may have also received the news that Mu Yuexin surrendered.
"Is Shen Qing keeping an eye on Hua Wenyi? Inform him of the emergency and start the arrest immediately. One escaped, and this one can't go wrong!" Luo Siwei quickly ordered, "Captain Yu, let's report the situation to Director Chen. Deputy Captain Guo, contact the other officers and prepare to go out immediately!"
