Chapter 122 Time Some things have passed on her side, but on...
In the room, the man was disheveled and had messy hair. Hearing the noise, he looked up suddenly, his eyes were bloodshot and he looked disheveled, no longer his previous gentle and elegant image.
When he saw the person coming, his eyes suddenly lit up and he hurriedly went to meet him, anxiously asking, "Have you found it? Have you found the clue?"
Shen Qingye looked at his anxious emotion which did not seem fake, and the fingers hanging by his side moved slightly. She really couldn't understand why he could pretend so well.
Even after killing his own daughter, he was still able to act so flawlessly.
Lu Yingzhuo said: "The case is currently under investigation. If there are any clues, I will tell you as soon as possible."
He looked at his expression and said, "We came here now because we have some questions to ask you."
When Qu Peiyun heard this, his eyes dimmed, and he forced a smile, turned sideways, and let them in: "Ask."
The group sat down on the sofa opposite Qu Peiyun. Lu Yingzhuo asked, "What time did your family return to the accommodation area after lunch?"
Qu Peiyun thought for a moment and said, "It should be around twelve o'clock, but not quite one o'clock."
Lu Yingzhuo asked: "What is the specific situation?"
Qu Peiyun thought for a moment: "After I got back, I just wanted to put Jingjing on the bed, but before I even touched the bed, she woke up and didn't want to sleep. I tried to coax her for a long time but failed, so I could only play with her for a while. During this time, Runing received a call. Something happened at the company, so she went out to deal with the work -"
Yue Lingchuan interrupted him: "What time was it?"
Qu Peiyun paused: "It should be... around one o'clock, right?"
He thought for a moment and said, "It should be less than half past one. Not long after she left, I glanced at the clock and it was only half past one."
Lu Yingzhuo asked: "Then what?"
"Then...then her grandma and I continued to play with Jingjing. After a long while, we finally coaxed her to sleep. Because she slept with her grandma, I left after she fell asleep. Before leaving, I looked at the clock and realized that it was already past three o'clock."
Lu Yingzhuo twirled his pen: "Did you play for so long?"
Qu Peiyun smiled bitterly: "She is always like this. Sometimes when she is too sleepy, she will keep making a fuss and refuse to rest. But if she doesn't sleep in the afternoon, she will feel sleepy early at night, and will make a fuss early the next morning. There is nothing I can do, so I have to keep coaxing her to sleep."
Yue Lingchuan asked again: "After you coaxed her to sleep, did you go fishing?"
Qu Peiyun said: "Yes, after he fell asleep, I returned to my room, took my fishing equipment, and left."
Shen Qingye asked: "Do you like fishing?"
Qu Peiyun said: "It's okay, but I'm usually busy at home and don't have much time. Now I'm free here and have nothing to do, so I went fishing for a while. If I had known earlier... I would never have gone..."
He lowered his head, wiped his face heavily, took a deep breath, and his whole body was shaking.
Shen Qingye glanced at him and asked, "When did you arrive at the pond?"
Qu Peiyun said hoarsely, "It was probably around three o'clock, around twenty."
Shen Qingye asked: "After you went there, you never left again?"
Qu Peiyun said, "No. Because the child was asleep and there was nothing to do at home, so I didn't have to worry about it. So I stayed there the whole time. When it was around five o'clock, I thought Jingjing would wake up, so I came back."
Shen Qingye: "Were there many people fishing at that time?"
Qu Peiyun thought for a moment and said, "It's not bad, there are a few of them."
Shen Qingye: "Can you all see each other?"
Qu Peiyun: “Yes.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingye and Yue Lingchuan looked at each other. If that was the case, then there was someone who could serve as his alibi witness.
So how did he do it?
From the time Jingjing fell asleep to the time she went fishing, there was only about ten minutes in total, which was not enough time to commit the crime.
Shen Qingye was lost in thought for a moment. Lu Yingzhuo didn't care. He tapped his knees lightly and asked, "I heard that you and Song Runing had a conflict during lunch?"
Qu Peiyun was stunned: "Conflict?"
He realized belatedly: "Oh, you mean that thing."
He thought about it, frowned again and said, "That's not a conflict... Ru Ning has a bad temper, but she doesn't mean any harm. Besides, I was wrong about that matter. I didn't do the job that I had asked her to do in advance, so it's reasonable for her to be anxious. We talked it out later."
Lu Yingzhuo looked at him and said, "Song Runing didn't give you face in front of so many people, in public, and you're not angry?"
Qu Peiyun said, "She is just like that. She is not angry at people, but at things. Why should she be angry? If she were angry, I would have given up after all these years..."
As he spoke, his voice suddenly paused: "Wait, what do you mean by this?"
He looked up at the police and said in astonishment: "You suspect... that I was angry with Runing, so I attacked Jingjing?"
"Do you suspect that I killed Jingjing?"
Qu Peiyun widened his eyes and said anxiously, "Let's not talk about whether I am angry or not. Even if I am angry, I can't do anything to Jingjing. Jingjing is my biological daughter. I raised her since she was a child. How could I do anything to her? Police comrades, you have to investigate carefully. I, I, I..."
Qu Peiyun hesitated for a long time, gesticulating frantically, his brows furrowed, his expression full of incomprehension and disbelief. Lu Yingzhuo looked at him for a long while before saying, "Well, the case has not been resolved yet, so anyone could be the murderer. Just conduct a routine inquiry and don't worry too much."
After hearing this, Qu Peiyun finally breathed a sigh of relief. After a moment, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I know, I'm a man, I don't have a job and I don't get paid. I stay at home every day to take care of the children and do housework, like a pretty boy. You all suspect that I'm resentful. Not only you, but even Song Runing has this idea. Did she also tell you that she suspects that I harmed Jingjing?"
Everyone looked at each other and no one spoke. Qu Peiyun muttered to himself: "If I had known that my casual mention of wanting to have another child would make her think this way, I would never have said it..."
He said to them: "It's my fault, it's all my fault..."
"It's all my fault."
Shen Qingye looked at his dejected look for a long time before saying, "Song Runing didn't say those words."
Qu Peiyun raised his eyes and looked at them in surprise: "What?"
Shen Qingye said: "Some things have already passed on her side, but obviously not on your side."
When Qu Peiyun heard this, his eyebrows jumped violently. When he met her clear, dark eyes again, he felt a little panicked, and his throat rolled up and down for a moment: "I..."
Shen Qingye looked at him deeply, said nothing more, stood up, said hello and left.
Only Qu Peiyun was left sitting there, his body stiff, until they left, then he took a breath in embarrassment.
·
After leaving, they first went to find the owner of the teahouse and asked him whether Song Runing had left in the middle. The other party thought about it and said uncertainly: "Probably not."
"I looked over there from time to time. I remember she was always there, pacing back and forth, looking very anxious. A few times I got close to her from a distance and vaguely heard her scolding people."
Everyone understood and turned to look for the tourists who had gone fishing with Qu Peiyun in the afternoon. When asked whether the other party had left in the middle of the process, their answer was no. When asked again when he arrived, several people gave the same answer:
"About three twenty."
"A little after three twenty."
"I think it was about 3:20."
“…”
One, two, three...
When he heard this answer again, Shen Qingye raised his eyes and looked at the old man in front of him: "You remember it so clearly?"
The old man waved his hand and said, "Hey, that kid said it himself when he first came here. I listened and remembered it."
Shen Qingye paused.
"Qu Peiyun said that himself?"
