Chapter 82 Chapter 82 Confession Shu Jianhua Confesses
No matter from which angle you look at it, being able to see your loved ones immediately after such a thrilling experience will definitely make people feel emotional, not to mention that Qiu Jiang is not a very serious person. She immediately ran over and gave him a loving hug from her aunt.
Qiu Sichen didn't expect that his aunt would hug him.
After all, although they have a good relationship, they are of the opposite sex after all. It was okay when he was a child, but when he was older, she rarely hugged him. Usually, she hugged his younger brothers and sisters. This caught him off guard. There was a bit of unnatural look on his face, and he didn't know where to put his hands.
Those who know about this relationship are naturally moved by the deep love between aunt and niece, while those who don’t know about it are stunned and confused by the love they are showing off.
Just like Chang Xuemin who had always been with them, and Jia Wang who went out to look for them when he saw that they didn't come back.
It's over. I used to support Jiang Jiang and their team Ji/Xingwang, thinking that someone on their team would finally be single. Now it seems that was all wishful thinking on their part.
Then wouldn’t their criminal police team always be a den of bachelors?
What a misfortune for our family.
In fact, they were absolutely exaggerating. Although criminal police were dangerous, it was a public office after all, and there were many girls who wanted to get married. The reason why the marriage rate in their fifth team was not high was entirely because they were all transferred from various counties and districts.
It's impossible to transfer older people to work here, so the comrades in their fifth team are often younger, mostly in their twenties or thirties. Because they are busy with work, they have less time for blind dates, so naturally they get married later. But even so, it can't be considered so pitiful.
The reason why they were so emotional was because the most beautiful budding policewoman in their team, oh no, in their Anxi Public Security System, was abducted by a boy who was studying medicine. This was too much for them as criminal police officers.
Could it be that their doctors are not busy?
Or is it that this young man is better than all the young people in their police station, which is why Jiang Jiang chose someone far away instead of someone close to him?
This is really a blow to one's confidence.
Their jaws almost dropped to the ground, but Deng Xingwang walked over happily and asked, "You work here?"
Deng Xingwang often came to their store and was also a good friend of his aunt. Even if Qiu Sichen went home less often, she would always see him, so the two of them were quite familiar with each other. When she heard him ask this, she naturally replied, "Yes, I'm interning here now."
"Oh, that's great. Work hard and I believe you will become a great doctor." Deng Xingwang really thought so. After all, his partner, his nephew, was really good at treating injuries.
This is not just hearsay, but is proven by facts. More than a week ago, his uncle dislocated his arm while doing pull-ups in the community, but he asked him to fix it.
Whoosh, whoosh fast.
His uncle thought he was a genius and insisted on leaving the man his phone number, thinking that if he or his relatives or friends dislocated their joints in the future, they could ask him to see them. However, he didn't expect that the man hadn't even graduated yet, let alone been able to see patients, and he didn't even have a phone number, so he gave up in disappointment.
Later, his uncle even asked him to send Qiu Sichen several free-range chickens that he raised himself. In this way, they became familiar with each other after a few visits.
Seeing him again was a rare occasion, so Deng Xingwang said excitedly, "When I had dinner with my uncle this morning, he was praising you. He also asked if you'd been in Anxi recently. He also wanted to give you some home-grown Chinese cabbage. I guarantee it's all natural and will be super delicious when you cook it in a dish."
"No, no, there's no one at home except my aunt, and she can't eat it either." Qiu Sichen refused repeatedly.
Fortunately, Deng Xingwang was a person who listened to others. "Okay, if my uncle and aunt come back someday, I'll tell my uncle."
As he was talking, he suddenly realized something was amiss. "Hey, you're doing your internship, so Jiang Jiang and your sister are the only two girls left at home. I'm a little uneasy..."
"Xingwang, go ask Brother Jia's five colleagues how they are doing. I want to talk to Achen first." Qiu Jiang interrupted hurriedly.
His mind was really quick.
Ji Mingcheng glanced at her with a half-smile.
Qiu Jiang didn't have time to reply to him. Instead, she met the somewhat worried gaze of her eldest nephew.
Because he was fully aware of the situation. Originally, it would have been fine if their quarterly team hadn't returned, but now they were back. What about them...
She knew her nephew very well. As soon as she saw his expression, she knew what he was thinking and immediately pulled him aside.
"Captain Ji came back unexpectedly last night. I wanted to move back home today, but he wouldn't let me. It's my turn on duty today, so I thought I'd tell Captain Ji I was moving back home. Who knew we'd run into a case? It's already so late, and I probably have to go to trial tonight. So I guess I can only move out tomorrow."
Seeing her appear here, Qiu Sichen had already thought that she was working on the same case with those hypothermic policemen. Seeing that she was safe and not the same as those five people, he was not so worried. But after hearing her say that, Qiu Sichen began to worry about her safety again.
"Then you'll be alone when you go home..." He frowned, "Why don't you stay at Captain Ji's house for two more days."
"ah?"
Qiu Jiang didn't expect her nephew to come up with such a solution, and she cried out in surprise.
Qiu Sichen had his own logical reasoning. "Mom and Dad won't be back until the day after tomorrow. Ah Yu is also doing an internship. I'm so far away from you in the development zone, I can't go back every day to accompany you. We still trust Captain Ji's character. Besides, this is probably why he didn't let you go back. Although it's a bit inappropriate, there's no other feasible solution right now..."
Speaking of this, Qiu Sichen was also a little conflicted.
Although I believe in Ji Mingcheng's character, after all, if a man and a woman were seen alone in the same room by others, they might say something unpleasant.
For men, perhaps no one will blame them, but for women, sometimes they will inevitably receive more attention and criticism.
He thought about it and felt that this was not appropriate, "How about I take off work with my classmate these two days, and I will go back to accompany you."
Qiu Jiang quickly stopped him, "Don't worry, I'm totally fine on my own. And don't forget my itching powder. I don't believe that someone would actually walk up to me and do something bad just because I sprinkled itching powder at the door."
Qiu Sichen scratched his arm subconsciously, obviously having suffered greatly from it.
After her repeated assurances, and after Deng Xingwang gestured to her that they had gone there first, and after Ji Mingcheng and the others had already gone to the ward, Qiu Jiang finally became anxious.
"Achen, I have something else to do, so I'll go over first. I'll talk to you when I'm done."
"……good."
Qiu Sichen couldn't help feeling a little worried when he saw her running away.
But he was not very idle either. Someone immediately asked him to do some work, and he was soon as busy as Qiu Jiang.
At the same time, Qiu Jiang also saw the five colleagues who had escaped danger. Seeing that they looked okay and were eating with a smile on their faces, everyone started chatting.
From their mouths, Qiu Jiang and the others finally understood why they ran into the sea, which was almost the same as her guess.
"He was panicking and wanted to run to the shore at first, but Li Ming and his men on the shore heard our news and were also rushing to the sea. He couldn't get ashore, and he didn't want to be caught by us, so he ran around."
"But he didn't run directly into the sea at first. Instead, he circled around us, hoping to find a way to get ashore. But he never found the opportunity. I guess his mind was as confused as ours, which is why he ended up like this."
"Yes, we were shocked when we realized it. We wanted to go back immediately, but we were already too cold to have any strength. If you hadn't rushed over, we would have really met our end."
You have to know that when they pulled themselves back, there was fog on the sea. Once the fog came, it would be even colder. If they hadn't come, they would have been frozen into ice sculptures.
It’s creepy just thinking about it.
They still feel scared when they talk about it.
"Thankfully, everything is fine. You should rest well these few days. I've talked to your superiors and will give you a week off. The hospitalization expenses will be paid by Team 5. You will also receive a subsidy after the holiday. Tell Deng Xingwang your name and police number later, and it will be paid directly to your police station."
This was definitely a pleasant surprise. The five of them had never expected to have such a surprise. They all smiled more and saluted him from their hospital beds.
"Thank you, leader."
"Okay, you guys take a rest first. I'll go check on Shu Jianhua."
"Leader, take care."
They watched Ji Mingcheng and his companions leave together, only Deng Xingwang stayed here to record their information.
Fortunately, this was easy to remember, and Deng Xingwang memorized it quickly. After he finished, he told them the good news, "It seems our quarterly team has recommended you for honors. When you finish your vacation, don't ask for leave. I don't know when your institute will hold a commendation meeting for you."
"Really?"
"Of course. We, the Season Team, have the final say. Besides, you're helping us, so we won't let you down."
As a police officer, who doesn't understand the meaning of commendation and commendation meetings? People like them who don't have a good family background are just invisible in the police station, and they will definitely not be able to get promotion and selection. But if they can really get a reward, then their future path will definitely be smoother.
This is even more surprising than the previous news.
"Of course, of course. We will go back to work after we have rested well."
If this holiday wasn't so rare, they would even want to go back tomorrow.
They watched Deng Xingwang leave with joy, and after he left, the five of them became even more excited and kept talking.
"This leader of the Municipal Bureau is really nice. If he comes to me for something next time, I'm still willing to do it."
"Come on, I think you're just doing this for the benefit."
"So what? It doesn't stop me from loving my job. I just have to do both. There's nothing wrong with that. Besides, are you unhappy?"
The person being talked about couldn't hold back his expression and burst into laughter. "Hey, I'm happy too."
"That's it."
Ji Mingcheng naturally didn't hear what they were talking about. At this time, he happened to be in the adjacent ward where only one person was staying.
On the hospital bed, Shu Jianhua held the quilt tightly, refusing to let go. Even though he was no longer at sea, he was still shaking, making it hard to tell whether he was still shaking from the shock or because he was scared when he saw that they knew his murder plan had been exposed.
The interrogation process in the morning is still vivid in my mind. It is really hard to believe that a person who trembles when asked questions would have the courage to harm others, even to cause death.
However, there are so many unbelievable things in this world, and it is overwhelming.
Qiu Jiang suppressed her emotions, stood behind Ji Mingcheng, and was ready to take notes at any time.
"Tell me, why did you kill He Yongan?"
Ji Mingcheng spoke concisely and to the point.
Shu Jianhua's body, covered in the quilt, shook even more violently.
The doctor had already informed him that he was back to normal, but Jia Wang and the others didn't indulge him. They forcefully ripped the blanket away and sternly demanded, "Answer me! Didn't you hear me asking you a question?"
"Tell me, why did you kill people?"
Shu Jianhua's face was filled with fear, cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead, and his eyes were filled with fear and regret.
Tears suddenly streamed down his face, and his voice trembled as he spoke. "I didn't mean to...kill him. I just wanted to teach him a lesson. I didn't know the railing was broken. I...I really didn't mean to do it."
His psychological defenses had already been breached at sea, not to mention that he had just experienced a life-or-death moment and almost died of hypothermia. He now felt that being alive was more important than anything else.
No matter whether he confessed or surrendered, he admitted it.
And he really regretted it.
He never expected that a prank would result in death.
"Wow... I really didn't mean it." He kept muttering this.
After Qiu Jiang finished writing, she paused and looked at him.
Now everything fits together.
He had placed the nails upright in the grooves of the deck in advance. He Yongan was bending over and mopping the floor happily, and he didn't notice the nails underneath at all. As a result, he stepped on the nails and fell into the splashed paint in pain. His feet slipped and he kept falling back, and finally fell off the cruise ship and died.
But what she didn't expect was...
"Where did you hide the nail?"
Shu Jianhua now looked dazed, and had already thought about turning himself in, so he naturally told everything he knew. Since it only happened in the morning, he remembered it very clearly.
"I didn't hide it. The nail fell when Ho Wing On stepped on it and got stuck in the crack. I put the nails in four places in total. The other three didn't touch him. When he fell, I was terrified, so I took advantage of everyone's panic to look and put away the other three. But I couldn't get the bloody nail out no matter how hard I tried. Later, the paint flowed into the crack and covered it up."
"At that time, everyone told me to go down quickly and take a look, and send the person to the hospital to save his life. I thought since I couldn't get it and others couldn't see it, I might as well go down with them to avoid them suspecting me."
"But...but I really didn't expect him to die like that."
When he said this, he became very emotional and burst into tears.
"I really didn't mean it. If I knew a prank would kill him, I definitely wouldn't have dared to do it. Really, I didn't mean to kill anyone. I didn't want to, I didn't want to..."
He kept saying words of regret, and anyone could see how regretful he was, but what was the use, it had already happened.
Because of his prank, He Yongan lost his life. Even though he said he didn't mean it, people still couldn't sympathize with him.
But you still have to ask what needs to be asked.
"Your motive for putting the nails there was to teach him a lesson? Why? Explain clearly." Ji Mingcheng asked in a deep voice.
Shu Jianhua swallowed his saliva and said, "Because I'm jealous of him."
Everyone present had a puzzled look on their faces.
Why jealous? They couldn't understand his train of thought at all?
Is he jealous that his brain was damaged by a high fever in his early years? Or is he jealous that his parents treated him well even though he became mentally retarded by a high fever?
Although they had made confessions in the morning, Qiu Jiang and the others did not know their family backgrounds, so they looked at him with confusion.
He then slowly spoke out.
"We are from the same village. When he was little, his family was well-off and he was good-looking, so many boys and girls wanted to play with him. Because my family was poor and I was fat when I was little, they didn't want to play with me. That's when I didn't like him."
"But more than a decade ago, He Yongan fell into a river and became blind. His family spent all their money on his medical treatment and went into debt, becoming even poorer than mine. I thought everyone would want to hang out with me, but he's still more popular than me. Everyone wanted to take him with them wherever they went. Later, he learned his father's painting skills and started earning more and more money. Plus, his parents worked hard to save money for him, and his family became well-off again. Surprisingly, someone was willing to marry him."
"Yesterday, after rejecting me, Zhang Xiaoshuang told her mother that she was willing to marry He Yongan, and even asked her mother to come to his house to talk to him."
"I was furious at the time. How could I be inferior to that He guy? She'd rather marry a fool than date me. Last night, I was so upset when I heard that, so I went to find her. She said He Yongan was better than him in every way. Even though he's stupid now, he always brings her flowers when he goes out, and he weaves straw ropes for her when he works in the fields. So even if he's crazy, she doesn't care, as long as he treats her well."
"Why? She's never been around me before, and she always stays away from me. Why does she think I won't treat her as well as He Yongan? I'm not convinced, and I hate He Yongan even more. I want to teach him a lesson to vent my anger..."
However, he never expected such a coincidence, and human life is so fragile. In just a moment, He Yongan died.
"This is the difference between you and him. Even if his brain is burnt out, he still wants to make others happy. He will bring gifts to others and make them happy. But you think about revenge as long as something doesn't suit your wishes. They are not stupid. Why should they like you? The person you should hate the most is yourself." Qiu Jiang said to him angrily.
Even now she can still remember his happy and cheerful figure in the dark shadow she saw. Even in the cold winter, he was still working, but he did not complain at all and was full of joy. What's so strange about falling in love with such a pure soul?
She continued unwillingly, "If I were Zhang Xiaoshuang, I would also be willing to marry him, because he knows how to be kind to others and knows that love should make the other person happy, and you are... not even remotely as good as him—"
Shu Jianhua suddenly felt pain and cried even more miserably.
For a life where you are not loved.
He also wants to be loved, why is it always his fault?
“Woo woo—”
He sobbed and couldn't stop crying.
But even now, he doesn't think he has any problems in dealing with people. He just thinks that everyone dislikes him because he is fat, ugly and his family is poor. He refuses to admit that it is because he has no personal charm that no one wants to play with him or date him.
It wasn't his fault. He was just careless and just wanted to teach them a lesson to vent his anger. If this incident hadn't happened and he had calmed down, he would have wished them both the best. They knew nothing and only misunderstood him.
This is too unfair.
Shu Jianhua's crying echoed throughout the ward. Not only that, the sound also drifted to the next room, disturbing the patients and their families there.
They were just about to go over and curse, but when they came out they saw two policemen standing at the door of the ward. They were a little afraid to go over, but in the end they couldn't stand the noise anymore, so many people came over to ask questions.
"Comrade, who's in there? It's too noisy. I have an elderly person in the hospital and I can't rest."
"Our ears are hurting from the noise. What are you doing? Is the person inside guilty? Can you take him away? We don't want to stay with criminals."
"Yeah, what if he gets angry and starts fighting with us? Can we take him away?"
…
The chattering at the door attracted the attention of the people in the room, and Ji Mingcheng glanced sideways at Qiu Jiang.
"Go find a doctor and ask about his physical condition. If he's fine, take him away now."
"yes."
Qiu Jiang took the order and left.
When she came out, many people stretched their heads to look inside, but the door closed after it opened for a moment. They could only see that there were many people inside, but the person who shouted was not seen before the door was closed.
They became even more panicked.
"With so many police officers, they won't kill anyone, right?"
Anyone who saw the scene just now would not think that the crime committed by this person was a small one. In people's cognition, what could be more serious than murder? So they made a fuss even more happily.
"Comrade, you must take this man away. We don't want to be with him."
"Comrade..."
When Qiu Jiang came back with the doctor, she saw this scene. She couldn't even squeeze in. If it weren't for the two colleagues outside helping her maintain order, she didn't know when she would be able to get in.
"Comrade, you must take him away—"
Before she went in, someone shouted at her.
Qiu Jiang did not answer, but responded to their expectations with practical actions. In less than twenty minutes, a short and fat man with his head covered and his hands handcuffed behind his back was seen being escorted out by two people and heading straight out of the hospital.
They were all delighted.
"Bah, bad guy, great, finally left, but scared me to death."
A particularly familiar voice entered Shu Jianhua's ears in the noisy crowd.
Upon hearing this voice, Shu Jianhua immediately became excited and kept bumping the police escorting him with his arms.
"Let me go, let me go—"
