Chapter 119 Interrogating the Perfect Son-in-law
The Criminal Investigation Team of Shuidong County, where Shiliang Town is located, is currently busy with another homicide case and is short of staff. In addition, Yue Lingchuan and his team were both from Pingjiang and had some understanding of the victims. So after receiving the call, the leaders of the local public security bureau thought for a while, contacted Pingjiang, and agreed to let them assist in the investigation.
The forensic team has brought the victim's body back to the bureau. Shen Qingye and his team have also moved to another location and found the victim's family to find out more about the situation.
The first person they looked for was Song's mother.
The moment she saw her child's body, Song's mother became so emotional that she fainted and was rushed to the scenic area's clinic. The doctor on duty examined her and concluded that there was nothing serious wrong with her and that she just needed to rest for a while.
When they arrived, Song's mother had already woken up and was lying on the hospital bed, turning her body to look out the dark window, motionless, with a dead silence emanating from her whole body.
Everyone stopped, Shen Qingye pursed her lips, raised her hand and knocked on the door of the ward: "Aunt Song."
She called softly.
When Song's mother heard the call, she slowly turned around and looked over. Her face was pale and her expression instantly became haggard in such a short period of time.
She looked at Shen Qingye for a long while before her eyes seemed to focus. She said in a vague tone, "Oh, it's Xiao Shen."
Her voice was hoarse and she was extremely tired: "What's the matter?"
The old lady, who was still bright and beautiful at noon, suddenly became much more haggard in just half a day. Shen Qingye felt a little sad, and said softly: "This is the comrades from the local criminal police team. They are here to investigate and want to ask you some questions."
"The Criminal Police Team." Song's mother smiled bitterly, "So, my Jingjing was really murdered, right?"
Shen Qingye pursed her lips and said nothing. Lu Yingzhuo stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "We need to further investigate the truth of the matter. I hope you can cooperate with us and find the murderer who killed Jingjing as soon as possible."
Mother Song closed her eyes for a long time before she sighed deeply, "Ask me."
Lu Yingzhuo walked into the ward, found a bench to sit beside her, and tried his best to show his gentle and harmless side. He said, "From what I understand, your family had lunch outside at noon today, and after lunch, you went back to rest around one o'clock, right?"
Song's mother said, "Yes. Jingjing woke up early in the morning and felt sleepy soon after lunch, so we decided to take her home to have a nap and play after she wakes up."
Lu Yingzhuo asked, "Did she fall asleep immediately after returning home?"
Song's mother shook her head: "No. She was so sleepy on the way that she curled up in her father's arms and slept for a while. When she got back, her father was about to put her on the bed, but he woke her up again, and she just kept making a fuss and refused to sleep."
"We could only play with her for a while to use up her energy. But at around one o'clock, her mother had some problems at work and left after receiving a phone call. Her father and I were left alone. We coaxed her for more than an hour and finally put her to sleep at three o'clock."
"After she fell asleep, I fell asleep too. After taking care of her for so many years, I also developed the habit of taking a nap..."
As Mother Song spoke, her voice began to choke. If she hadn't slept at noon today, Jingjing wouldn't have been taken away; if she had been more alert, she would have noticed someone coming into the house...
Shen Qingye knew that she was feeling bad, so he took out a piece of paper, handed it to her, and held her hand.
Yue Lingchuan asked, "Are you sure...she fell asleep at around three o'clock?"
Song's mother wiped her tears and sniffed: "I'm sure. I deliberately coaxed her to sleep at that time. I was also very sleepy and lay on the bed. Her father casually said it was three o'clock before leaving."
Shen Qingye and Yue Lingchuan looked at each other and asked Song's mother: "Qu Peiyun said that? Did you see the clock at that time?"
Song's mother said, "I saw it. I was also surprised at that time. It was already that time. I looked up and it was less than five minutes after three o'clock."
Hearing this, Lu Yingzhuo kept tapping his thighs with his fingers. After thinking for a while, he asked again, "I've learned that your family situation is a little special, right? Does the child have the mother's surname?"
Mother Song nodded, "Yes. We talked about this topic after the two children got together. Ru Ning is my only daughter. I was worried about her getting married, so I decided that if she finds a partner, I won't worry about getting married, but she must live in our house, and our future children must have Ru Ning's surname."
Lu Yingzhuo said: "Does the man have any objection?"
Song's mother said, "Xiao Qu has a good temper, and he has an older brother and a younger brother at home, so the pressure of carrying on the family line won't be on him. Plus, their initial relationship was pretty good, so she agreed."
Lu Yingzhuo: "What happened next? How was their relationship over the past few years?"
Mother Song was silent for a moment, then she sighed and said, "In the past few years... Runing has been quite busy."
"Xiao Qu has been at home taking care of the children. The two of them... one takes care of the outside world, the other takes care of the inside world; one has a quick temper and is strong-willed, the other is softer and easier to talk to. They are living a decent life, right?"
Lu Yingzhuo asked, "Did Qu Peiyun express any dissatisfaction with this mode of getting along over the years?"
Song's mother raised her eyes tremblingly, her voice choked slightly: "Comrade police..."
"Xiao Qu is really good. He has been taking care of the children and the family for these years. He is gentle and patient. Sometimes Runing gets impatient or has too many social activities outside, but I have never seen him lose his temper. He, he, he..."
"He's so nice..." Mother Song raised her hands to cover her eyes, her voice broken and desperate: "How could it be him? How could it be him?"
She actually had doubts. How could the child be taken out quietly when he was in his room?
But she didn't dare to doubt it.
She was really afraid, afraid that she had misjudged the person, and that all these years of getting along were just a joke.
I’m afraid that the so-called perfect son-in-law is actually a beast in human form.
Seeing her grief-stricken expression, everyone opened their mouths but didn't know what to say. Shen Qingye held her hand tightly and whispered to comfort her: "The police are working hard to verify it, maybe..."
She opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything, maybe Qu Peiyun didn't do it.
Song's mother understood what she meant. She looked at the ceiling with a blank expression.
…
After saying goodbye to Song's mother, they went to find Song Runing.
At present, Song Runing and Qu Peiyun, as the victim's parents, are both suspects. Therefore, Lu Yingzhuo asked the police to take them away and place them separately in the vacant rooms in the scenic area.
Pushing open the door of the room, Song Runing, who was sitting on the sofa, cast his eyes over and said, "Here I am."
Her face was pale, almost broken, and her brows were wrinkled with deep creases, but her eyes were still flashing with a light that had not yet gone out.
Lu Yingzhuo stepped forward and looked down: "Ms. Song."
