Chapter 135: A few days before the conflict, you and Liang Yongcheng...
lighter?
Shen Qingye had already heard what Bai Ci said about this matter, and knew what was going on. At this moment, he looked at Yue Lingchuan, frowned slightly, and naturally brought up the topic:
"Gas leaks may not necessarily cause explosions. To really cause an explosion, there must be an open flame... We found unburned mosquito coils and ashes from burned mosquito coils in the Liang family's living room. We initially suspected that the mosquito coils might have caused the explosion."
As expected, as soon as these words came out, Xu Hongxia's eyes widened instantly: "Mosquito coils? How is that possible?"
"We usually don't leave mosquito coils in the living room at all!"
Xu Hongxia took a deep breath and endured the headache and said, "Mr. Liang came from the countryside and has always been frugal. Even though he is rich now, he never wastes money. When he taught the children, he also told them to learn to save money and not to develop bad habits of extravagance. The children usually have limited pocket money!
"We usually only light mosquito coils in the living room and dining room when we eat, but when we go to bed, we take the mosquito coils back to our own rooms. Mr. Liang also said that there is no one in the living room at night, so it is a waste to leave the mosquito coils there.
"I forgot to take the mosquito coils back one night, and Mr. Liang told me about it the next morning when he woke up. Since then, I would check every night before going to bed to make sure the mosquito coils were taken away!
"I remember clearly that I took the mosquito coils away before going to bed last night! Where did the mosquito coils in the living room come from?"
Yue Lingchuan's eyebrows darkened slightly: "So... that mosquito coil was most likely lit by the murderer?"
Shen Qingye nodded: "Add the sound of the lighter...it should be about the same."
Xu Hongxia nodded and said, "Anyway, I remember that I did take the mosquito coils back to the house! I even smelled the smell of mosquito coils before going to bed. I can't stand this smell, but there are too many mosquitoes here, and I can't stand air conditioning. I like to sleep with the window open, so I can only endure it!"
Yue Lingchuan looked at Xu Hongxia and asked, "Where do the Liang family's mosquito coils usually stay?"
Xu Hongxia said: "As for mosquito coils... they are usually placed in the cabinet against the wall in the living room."
Shen Qingye asked: "Is it easy to find?"
"It's not hard to find. You can see it at a glance when you open the cabinet. If an outsider doesn't know, at most they will have to search two more cabinets--"
Before she finished speaking, her voice suddenly paused, and she raised her eyes tremblingly and looked at them: "No, no, no!"
"Those cabinets are quite old. Except for the one that holds mosquito coils, the other cabinets make noises every time they are opened. It's not loud, but I can definitely hear it!"
She was a light sleeper and the door of her room had poor sound insulation, so she could even hear footsteps downstairs. If someone moved those cabinets, she would definitely hear it too!
But she didn't hear any sound of cabinets opening and closing last night, which means that the murderer did not touch the cabinets with problems, but went directly to the cabinet where the mosquito coils were placed without any hesitation!
Is it a coincidence?
Could it really be such a coincidence?
Xu Hongxia's hands on the bed were shaking, and she didn't dare to imagine what this meant.
Yue Lingchuan was the first to speak: "This shows that the murderer is very familiar with the Liang family, so familiar that he knows exactly where everything in your house is placed."
"The murderer is most likely someone you are familiar with."
Xu Hongxia's expression was stiff. Shen Qingye looked at her and spoke in a slightly slower tone: "Auntie, please think about it carefully. Among the people that the Liang couple usually interact with...are there any who are particularly familiar with the Liang family, or perhaps dissatisfied with them?"
Xu Hongxia's mind was a mess at this time. Hearing this, she just shook her head blankly: "I don't know, I don't know..."
"Mr. Liang is a very nice person. He has many guests visiting him. His wife is also very friendly and can chat with everyone..."
"Every time the guests come back, the atmosphere at home is quite harmonious. From what I've seen, no one has such a big problem with them—"
When she said this, her voice suddenly stopped and her expression changed: "Atmosphere, atmosphere..."
Shen Qingye asked hurriedly: "What did you think of?"
"I, I..." Xu Hongxia's teeth were trembling. She looked up at them and spoke with difficulty: "I suddenly remembered... Mr. Liang's nephew, Liang Wenjun, came to our house a few days ago."
Shen Qingye paused: "Liang Wenjun?"
Yue Lingchuan's eyebrows also moved: "Is there any problem with this Liang Wenjun?"
Xu Hongxia said: "Liang Wenjun... seemed to have had a quarrel with Mr. Liang when he came that day."
"Fighting?" Shen Qingye asked, "Why are you fighting?"
Xu Hongxia took a deep breath and shook her head slowly: "I don't know."
She thought back carefully, "That day, the children all went to school, and the wife was out, so the husband was alone at home. Liang Wenjun came without saying hello, and I was a little surprised to see him, so I thought he was a guest after all, so I had to go out and buy some food. Who knew that when I came back, I saw Liang Wenjun walking out of the husband's study angrily, without even saying hello, and just left! The husband was so angry that he slammed the table and called him a little bastard and a jerk or something like that."
"Mr. Liang has always had a good temper. I've worked at the Liang family for so many years, and I've never seen him so angry."
"But I was just a staff member after all, so it was not appropriate for me to ask about their family affairs, so I went to the kitchen to cook. When the wife came back later, the husband was still angry. But when the wife asked him about it, he just said that the brat was getting more and more outrageous. What exactly happened... I really don't know."
Shen Qingye frowned and asked, "When did this happen?"
"About..." Xu Hongxia counted on her fingers: "Last Thursday, yes, it was last Thursday."
Yue Lingchuan thought for a moment and said, "If I remember correctly, Mr. Liang should have no other relatives in his family, right? Is there only this nephew left?"
"Yes, Mr. Liang's family is small. After his parents passed away, his only brother and sister-in-law also died in an accident, leaving only his nephew Liang Wenjun."
"If that's the case, then they should have a good relationship as uncle and nephew. Why didn't we find any mention of Liang Wenjun in the information we got?"
"Does he have a bad relationship with Mr. Liang?"
"Uh, this..." Xu Hongxia paused, looking a little embarrassed.
Shen Qingye said: "Don't worry, these words will not be known to others, don't worry."
Xu Hongxia sighed: "Hey, I'm not saying bad things about him, but Liang Wenjun... is indeed a bit unreasonable."
"What do you mean?"
Xu Hongxia calmed down and said, "When the eldest son of the Liang family got into trouble, Liang Wenjun was only fourteen years old. Mr. Liang and the eldest son of the Liang family have had a good relationship since childhood. When encountering such a thing, it is impossible for him to leave his brother's only child alone, so he took Liang Wenjun to his home to take care of him."
"But Liang Wenjun was rebellious at that time, and he didn't listen to anyone. When the Liang family's eldest brother and his wife were still alive, they couldn't control him, not to mention that now that his parents are gone and there is only one uncle left, they can't control him at all."
"Mr. Liang has a good temper, and his wife is also good-natured. At the beginning, they treated him no differently from their own children. Whatever Xiaoyu and his two siblings have, Liang Wenjun will have too. Sometimes, what Xiaoyu and his two siblings don't have, Liang Wenjun will also have."
Xiaoyu is Liang Yongcheng’s eldest son.
"But Liang Wenjun is such a jerk. When he first came home, he was a little uncomfortable and restrained in his behavior, probably because he had just lost his parents and was living with his uncle. But after he saw Mr. Liang's attitude towards him, he gradually became more unruly."
"He was in middle school at the time, but when he was in school, the teacher would call him almost every week. He would either not listen in class, disrupt the class, or fight with others, and even dare to hit the teacher... He even had premature love a few times, and the object was different each time..."
"My wife had a really hard time during that time. She was called to school at least two or three times a month. To be honest, even my wife's biological children were never so noisy."
Shen Qingye asked: "Mr. Liang has never taken care of him?"
Xu Hongxia looked bitter, "Why not? It's not like the master hasn't said anything about him, but firstly, he's just a nephew after all, not his own son, and he just lost his parents not long ago. The master took these into consideration and didn't say anything too harsh. Secondly, Liang Wenjun simply won't listen! You can say whatever you want, he's fine on the surface, he seems to be obedient, but what will happen next is still what will happen."
"Mr. Liang was so worried during that time that he apologized to the parents of the students who were beaten and to the teacher. In the end, Liang Wenjun refused to change and even the school didn't want him anymore. No matter what Mr. Liang said, whether it was donations or building repairs, the school was afraid of him and politely persuaded him to withdraw."
"Later, Mr. Liang probably felt that this was not the right way to go. He couldn't let such a good child be wasted. So he enrolled him in a closed military school known for its strict management, hoping to change the child's temper."
"After arriving at the school, Liang Wenjun wanted to make trouble as usual, but the teachers there were strict, and there were many students in the school who were similar to him and were not afraid of him. He couldn't make trouble even if he wanted to, and he was really kept under control for half a month."
"Half a month later, Liang Wenjun couldn't stand it anymore and tried every way to escape. But Mr. Liang was determined to straighten his temper and ignored him. I thought I would wait for a while until he behaved better before taking the child out, but who would have thought that he would commit suicide!"
"Suicide?" Shen Qingye asked in shock, "Is it true suicide?"
Xu Hongxia looked exhausted. "That's right! It is said that he deliberately smashed a bowl while eating at school, secretly took a piece of the shard, and rushed into the principal's office to force him to let him go. The principal tried to persuade him to leave, but he refused. So he took out the shard of the bowl and cut his wrist with it. He showed no mercy! The principal was almost scared to death at the time, and he quickly called the school doctor, who stopped the bleeding and rushed him to the hospital. Fortunately, nothing happened in the end."
"After this incident, not only the principal was frightened, but even Mr. Liang was frightened. He seemed to have rushed back from another place. He didn't even care about his business and went straight to the hospital!"
"After Liang Wenjun woke up, he looked at Mr. Liang and said directly, if we send him there again, he will dare to commit suicide! Don't even think about finding someone to watch him, he will always find a way to commit suicide. When he really dies, let's see if he will have the face to explain to his grandparents and parents in the future."
"What else could Mr. Liang say? He was really scared at the time, and he really had no choice but to compromise and take him out of school."
"But Liang Wenjun is old. Besides going to school, what else can he do? If he really leaves him alone and lets him go out into society on his own, Mr. Liang will be worried. In the end, we reluctantly reached a consensus that he must finish high school no matter what and promise not to easily get into conflicts with teachers and classmates during school. As long as he can do that, Mr. Liang will satisfy any request he makes, as long as it is not excessive."
"Liang Wenjun thought it was okay, so he agreed. That's how the family lived in peace for more than three years."
"In the past three years, Liang Wenjun has been living at home. How can I put it? There have been no major problems, but there have been many minor problems. Mr. Liang would chat with him whenever he had time, but he has never had much patience. He would get impatient after just a few words and find all kinds of excuses to go out and play. In the end, he couldn't even stand the nagging of his husband and wife, so he asked Mr. Liang to buy him a house and move out himself."
"He was not yet an adult at that time. How could Mr. Liang agree? He said that he had to wait until he was 18 years old at the earliest. We could talk about it after he turned 18."
"Liang Wenjun has made a fuss before, but this time Mr. Liang just refused to give in. He had no choice but to wait obediently."
"Mr. Liang also knows that his mind is not here. He is probably annoyed just by looking at them. Thinking that it is better to keep the child in front of him, it will only make him hate him. It is better to take advantage of his heart and let him move out."
"So when Liang Wenjun was 18 years old, Mr. Liang gave him a house and agreed to let him move out. Liang Wenjun was very happy at the time. He was so obedient that he kept calling his husband and wife uncle and aunt."
Xu Hongxia recalled that day and couldn't help but sigh: "That day was probably the most harmonious day in the family since Liang Wenjun moved in."
Shen Qingye was silent for a moment: "And then?"
"Then." Xu Hongxia looked dazed. "Although he was asked to move out, how could Mr. Liang really not care about him? After all, he gave him a nanny, saying that she was taking care of his life, but in fact, it was the same as keeping an eye on him and reporting to his family at any time if anything happened."
"Liang Wenjun tolerated it at first, but later he became more and more erratic, and he did not come home at night several times. The nanny was worried, so she told Mr. Liang, and Mr. Liang went to talk to Liang Wenjun again. After all this, Liang Wenjun got annoyed and asked Mr. Liang to send the nanny away and stop monitoring his life. The two of them had a big fight at the time, but in the end, Mr. Liang gave in and said he would no longer pry into his life casually, and Liang Wenjun reluctantly agreed."
"It has been almost five years since he turned eighteen. Liang Wenjun usually lives outside, and Mr. Liang gives him living expenses every month. I then learn from the nanny whether he is doing well. Liang Wenjun rarely goes home. Whenever he goes home, it is mostly because he does not have enough money or wants something, so he comes to Mr. Liang for money."
"I remember the last time he came back, it seemed like he had his eyes on a car. Wow, I don't know what kind of car it was, it looked like it was made of gold, and it must have cost at least a million dollars!"
"Mr. Liang had a hard life, and he thought the price was too high at the time. But Liang Wenjun kept asking for it, and I rarely gave in to him, and even stayed at home. After a week of good behavior, Mr. Liang finally agreed."
She curled her lips and said, "But after he bought the car, he went back. It's been two or three months since then, and he hasn't come back."
"As the two police officers just said, no one else has mentioned Liang Wenjun because he has been living outside these years and rarely comes back. Some new neighbors don't even know he exists. Some old neighbors know he exists, but so many years have passed. In addition, although his wife was very troubled by him at the beginning, she has never liked to talk about family matters with others. So the neighbors only know that Liang Wenjun is a bit of a mixed-up person, but they don't have a clear idea of how much of a mixed-up he is. And so many years have passed... maybe they haven't thought of him."
Shen Qingye pursed her lips tightly. After listening to her long speech, she felt puzzled: "Although Liang Wenjun is Mr. Liang's nephew, he is only his nephew. Mr. Liang has done so much for him. He has done his best, right? As for this... to respond to every request?"
After all, he is a successful businessman, but he compromises with his nephew again and again, giving him expensive houses and cars as a gift, and almost worries about him to death... This is how he treats his own son, right?
Plus, he was said to be frugal by nature, but he bought the million-dollar car his nephew wanted without hesitation...
It's one thing for Liang Yongcheng to be good, but to be good to this extent——
Shen Qingye frowned slightly.
"Hey, there is a reason for this." Xu Hongxia waved her hand and explained in detail: "Mr. Liang is a good person, but not to this extent. The reason why he is so indulgent to Liang Wenjun is largely because of the eldest brother of the Liang family."
Yue Lingchuan asked: "Liang Wenjun's father?"
"Yes." Xu Hongxia said, "Mr. Liang, the eldest brother of the Liang family, was eight years old. When Mr. Liang was born, the eldest brother of the Liang family was almost sensible. In addition, in the countryside, farm work is busy, so Mr. Liang was basically brought up by the eldest brother of the Liang family. The two brothers have a good relationship."
"When he grew up, Mr. Liang had good grades and studied all the way through junior high school and high school, and finally he was successfully admitted to university! This should have been a good thing, but the Liang family was too poor. They were so poor that they didn't even have the money to send him to university! At that time, the whole family was very worried. In the end, Mr. Liang wanted to give up going to university, but it was the eldest sister-in-law of the Liang family who took the initiative to take out the money she had saved to support Mr. Liang's schooling. In the next four years, the eldest son of the Liang family also worked outside, and part of the salary he received was directly transferred to Mr. Liang."
"It can be said that if it weren't for the eldest brother of the Liang family, Mr. Liang would not have been able to go to university. Not to mention, he would not have become the Mr. Liang he is today."
"That's why Mr. Liang has been repaying his elder brother and his wife since he became successful in his career. To be honest, the elder brother and his wife are not greedy people. They know how to be content. In the past few years, they got along very well with Mr. Liang, and the relationship between the two families was very close. So after they left, Mr. Liang took such good care of Liang Wenjun."
Who would have known that Liang Wenjun turned out to be such a person. It could be said that Mr. Liang did not spend much time on his own children, and most of the helpless indulgence in his life was given to Liang Wenjun.
The ward fell into silence for a moment. Shen Qingye lowered his eyelids slightly and fell into deep thought.
If that's the case, Liang Wenjun and Liang Yongcheng had a conflict before, and there was a contradiction between the two sides. Although it is unknown why, there is indeed a motive for committing the crime; Liang Wenjun has lived in the Liang family for several years, and has come here from time to time in recent years. He should be very familiar with the Liang family, which also fits the situation that he can easily find the location of the mosquito coils...
Shen Qingye suddenly asked: "How tall is Liang Wenjun?"
Xu Hongxia said: "No one in the Liang family is short. Liang Wenjun looks like he is almost 1.8 meters tall."
...The heights also match.
She tilted her head to look at Yue Lingchuan, who also understood what she meant. He looked at Xu Hongxia and asked, "Where does Liang Wenjun live now?"
Xu Hongxia shook her head: "I'm not sure about that. He comes back seldom, and every time he comes back, he can't talk to us."
"But I heard Mr. and Mrs. talking before, and they seemed to have mentioned...something about a villa?"
Villa......
Yue Lingchuan pondered over these two words, looked at her again, and thanked her: "We already know the general situation. Thank you for your willingness to cooperate with the investigation."
He stood up and said, "We have no problems for the time being. I hope you can rest well and recover soon."
Xu Hongxia sighed softly and closed her eyes, looking exhausted: "You don't have to thank me, as long as you can find the real murderer, it won't be in vain."
In her heart, she was unwilling to believe that Liang Wenjun was the murderer. His husband and wife were so good to him, and even their children sometimes complained that their parents were partial to them... If he really did it, then what would be the point of all Mr. Liang's efforts over the years?
But what the police officer just said is hard not to be suspicious.
Of all the conditions, he was the one who met them best...
Shen Qingye looked at her and said softly, "We will do our best."
"You have to cheer up, too. Only by taking good care of your health can you see the murderer brought to justice."
Xu Hongxia forced a smile: "You are talking about..."
She had to cheer up and see that the murderer who killed her husband, wife and their family got his retribution!
The two sides exchanged a few more words before Shen Qingye said goodbye and left.
After leaving the room, they were confronted by Xu Hongxia's children who were guarding outside. When they saw them, they forced a smile and said, "Comrade police officer."
Shen Qingye said: "I'm sorry to bother you today, but this case is urgent and Aunt Xu is the only witness..."
"We understand." Xu Hongxia's son said, "We all understand that the police are handling the case."
He twitched his lips and said, "Actually, when my mother first woke up, she was asking about the Liang family. It's just that we didn't know the situation and didn't know how to tell her. Although she didn't ask much, I could see that she was still thinking about it."
He said: "Over the years, the Liang family has been really good to my mother, and our family has received a lot of favors from them, so I hope that if the real murderer is found, the police comrades can tell my mother so that she can rest assured."
Yue Lingchuan said seriously: "This is natural. Aunt Xu is also a victim. She has the right to know. Don't worry."
Xu Hongxia's son's expression then eased a little and he said thank you.
......
After leaving the hospital, Yue Lingchuan immediately called Yan Haifeng to report the situation on their side. Yan Haifeng heard this and said solemnly: "I understand."
"We have just noticed this person. Through investigations in the Liang family's residential area and company, we have also obtained some clues about Liang Wenjun. We are currently asking people to investigate and we expect to get results soon."
"Your discovery is very meaningful. Let's go back to the team and discuss the next countermeasures while we have time."
Naturally, the two had no objection.
After returning to the team, a group of people held another brief meeting, mainly to exchange the investigation results of all parties.
Through analysis of existing clues, the task force identified Liang Wenjun as a major suspect in the case. After more than two hours of investigation and collaboration with various departments, Liang Wenjun's current location was finally determined.
Cangshan Villa.
Located in the city center, it is a mixed community of villas and high-rise buildings.
After getting the clue, everyone immediately perked up and rushed towards Cangshan Villa.
At this time, the sky had gradually darkened, and when I looked at the time, it was almost eight o'clock.
·
Cangshan Villa is different from the Longhu Villa District where Mr. Liang's family lives. It is a mixed community of villas and high-rise buildings. Relatively speaking, it has a larger population and is more lively.
It gets dark late in the summer. Up to now, it is not completely dark yet and you can still see many people taking a walk outside.
Shen Qingye and a group of five people including Ma Dui walked to the door of Liang Wenjun's villa. Looking at the scene outside the yard, they couldn't help but frowned slightly.
Even though they knew that Liang Wenjun liked to invite some people to his house for parties, when they saw the various luxury cars crowded in and outside the villa, everyone still had different expressions.
The villa in front of him was quite large, but at this moment every room was brightly lit, making the night seem like day.
The curtains reflected the figures of various men and women, clearly showing their playful and joking postures.
If you get closer, you can still hear the faint noisy sounds in the villa, as well as various laughter sounds.
"This is too noisy..." one person couldn't help but speak.
Even though his uncle's family had suffered a tragedy, Liang Wenjun still had the mind to hold a grand banquet here.
If he had nothing to do with the case and didn't know what happened, it would be understandable; but if he really was the murderer...
That mentality is really scary.
A group of people stepped forward and stood in front of the door. Wei Zhengyi raised his hand and knocked on the door. "Bang, bang, bang," several times in a row, but there was no movement from inside.
Wei Zhengyi frowned and knocked again, but still no one answered.
"It's so noisy in there, it would be strange if we could hear any sound." One person couldn't help but complain.
Wei Zhengyi cleared his throat and knocked on the door while shouting, "Someone inside, open the door!"
"Police investigating a case, open the door!"
After shouting for half a minute, a voice finally came from inside:
"Who is it?"
Wei Zhengyi shouted: "Police, open the door!"
There seemed to be silence inside for a moment, and then someone sneered, "Police? What kind of bullshit police?"
"Why are the police here when they have nothing better to do? Can't they act more like a scare freak?"
Yue Lingchuan's brows were gloomy. He could no longer bear it and kicked him hard.
The door leaf shook suddenly, and the person inside cursed and walked over quickly, cursing: "Damn it, who is so bold? I'm having a great time, don't you have eyes——"
Before he finished speaking, the door opened with a bang, and a young man in his twenties with yellow hair looked over with a gloomy face. However, the moment he saw Yue Lingchuan clearly, his expression changed instantly:
"Master Yue?"
Yue Lingchuan said sternly: "Do you know me?"
The man nodded hurriedly: "Yes, I know you. I saw you at a party before..."
Naturally, he knew that the young master of the Yue family was really a criminal policeman.
He looked at the tall men behind Yue Lingchuan, and thought of what they had just said, and his face couldn't help but look a little ugly.
"Master Yue, Master Yue, I didn't know what was going on just now. I thought someone was playing a trick on us..."
Yue Lingchuan didn't want to hear his explanation, so he asked directly, "Is Liang Wenjun here?"
"Liang Wenjun?" The other party was stunned at first, and then he realized that, yes, the police came here, they must be targeting the owner's family.
Thinking of this, he felt relieved and said hurriedly, "Yes, yes, yes, yes!"
He quickly turned aside and said, "It's inside. Please come in, everyone?"
Yue Lingchuan glanced around the room and saw various men and women gathered together, some leaning against the wall, some sitting on the sofa. They all stopped making noise and looked over.
There were many people with hair dyed in various colors, and some men and women were in intimate postures, and when they looked over, they did not show any shyness or embarrassment.
Shen Qingye slowly scanned the area, and his gaze finally fell on the man sitting in the center of the sofa.
The man had short hair dyed red, and various nails on his lips and ears. His clothes were extremely exaggerated. His originally handsome face looked mediocre under the contrast of all the decorations.
At this moment, he was leaning on the sofa, stroking two dice with one hand, hugging a young woman with the other, looking over leisurely with a nonchalant attitude.
Even though this face was very different from the one on the ID card, Shen Qingye still recognized him at a glance.
Liang Wenjun. "Looking for me?" Liang Wenjun didn't even stand up, leaning on the sofa like a boneless person. His eyes swept over Yue Lingchuan and others, and finally slowly fell on Shen Qingye.
He raised his eyebrows and said with a playful smile: "Beauty, what do you want from me?"
As soon as these words came out, the face of the woman in his arms suddenly turned unhappy, and Yue Lingchuan's eyes instantly turned cold.
Shen Qingye's expression remained unchanged. He took out his ID and said to him, "The police are investigating the case. I hope Mr. Liang will cooperate."
Mr. Liang said in a strange tone: "Investigating the case?"
He chuckled, let go of the woman in his arms, and crossed his legs lazily: "What case are you handling? What does it have to do with me?"
Yue Lingchuan said in a deep voice: "Mr. Liang said, does the Liang family explosion case have anything to do with you?"
Liang Wenjun's eyes paused slightly, and then slowly turned to Yue Lingchuan.
"What?" He raised his hand to pick his ear, flicked it casually to the side, and looked puzzled: "What explosion?"
He sneered, "Police comrade, this is not the way to joke, is it? In peacetime, there is no explosion."
He said casually, not caring at all: "Don't play with me."
The atmosphere in the room was solemn for a moment. Yue Lingchuan looked down at him from a high position and said, "Do you think we policemen have nothing to do all day? Are we here to play with you?"
His tone was gentle, and although he didn't say anything, Liang Wenjun sensed a hint of disdain and indifference in it.
The smile on his face froze and he looked at him with a somewhat gloomy look.
Yue Lingchuan continued: "It's up to you whether you believe it or not. But whether you believe it or not, please come with us and cooperate with the investigation."
Liang Wenjun looked at him and said with a fake smile: "What if I don't want to?"
Yue Lingchuan said: "Mr. Liang, I think you need to know one thing."
He looked at him and said word by word: "It is the citizen's duty to cooperate with the police investigation."
"As a person involved in this case, if you don't cooperate..." He smiled: "We can only use coercive measures!"
Liang Wenjun looked at him for a long time with a sullen face, then suddenly smiled: "Cooperate, why not?"
"After all, it's my uncle and aunt's business, how can I not cooperate?"
He tilted his head. "Police comrade, what do you need me to do? Shall I go with you now? Do you need to pack anything?"
Yue Lingchuan said leisurely: "No hurry."
He looked up and said, "There's a room upstairs, right? Let's go in and talk?"
Liang Wenjun looked at him for a moment, then slowly stood up and said, "Yes, of course."
"Officer please?"
Yue Lingchuan walked up to him casually with a relaxed attitude.
The remaining guests looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.
One of them asked tentatively: "Then...Officer, if there is nothing else, we will leave first?"
Wei Zhengyi looked back at them and smiled warmly: "Sorry, you may have to wait a moment."
"There are still some problems here, and I need your cooperation in the investigation."
When everyone heard this, their faces changed slightly.
Meanwhile, upstairs.
"Around 10:00 this morning, an explosion occurred in the Liang family villa, which in turn caused a fire. By the time firefighters arrived and rescued the people in the villa, Liang Yongcheng's family of five had unfortunately died."
"Afterwards, our police detected harmful gases such as residual carbon monoxide in the air at the scene and confirmed that the explosion was caused by a gas leak."
Yue Lingchuan looked at the man sitting awkwardly in front of him and said, "Liang Wenjun, do you know about this?"
Liang Wenjun slowly came back to his senses, raised his chin and looked at him: "I don't know."
"It doesn't matter, now you know." Yue Lingchuan said calmly: "So Liang Wenjun, do you have anything to say?"
Liang Wenjun crossed his arms and sneered, "What can I say?"
"You guys also said that it was an explosion caused by gas, but who could have thought of that? What's the point of me saying anything?"
Shen Qingye asked: "After all, they are your uncle and aunt, your only remaining relatives. Hearing that they have encountered such a thing, aren't you sad at all?"
"Sad? How can I not be sad?" Liang Wenjun looked at her and smiled nonchalantly: "But who says you have to cry when you are sad? Hey, police comrade, don't look at me as heartless now, I am actually very sad in my heart!" He patted his chest: "I am so heartbroken that I can hardly breathe!"
"No one stipulates that sadness must follow a certain pattern, right, officer?"
Shen Qingye looked at his rogue appearance, frowning, but said: "You are right, if you are really sad, you can pretend not to be sad, and if you are not sad, you can also act like you are heartbroken. Only you know what you are thinking."
Liang Wenjun smiled instantly when he heard this: "Why am I saying that I like police officers so much? There really is a reason for that! Look, you understand me so well!"
Shen Qingye's expression remained unchanged. He ignored his words and just said, "We came here this time because we have something we want to know from Mr. Liang."
"Ask, ask." Liang Wenjun's eyes were fixed on her face, and his tone was ambiguous: "As long as it's what you say, anything is fine."
Shen Qingye glanced at him and said, "Excuse me, Mr. Liang, what were you doing after 10 o'clock last night?"
"Ten o'clock?" Liang Wenjun raised his eyebrows: "What else can I do? Sleep!"
"Really?" Shen Qingye's tone was a little surprised. He looked him up and down and said in an ambiguous tone, "I thought that a trendsetter like Mr. Liang shouldn't rest so early."
"Hey, I don't usually go to bed early, but weren't you too tired yesterday?" Liang Wenjun smiled and winked at Yue Lingchuan beside him, "I didn't want to go to bed so early. But we are all men, and this officer should know that after doing that kind of thing, it is inevitable that you will be tired."
"Since you are tired, you should rest early."
Yue Lingchuan's expression remained unchanged: "That is to say, Mr. Liang was with his girlfriend last night. Did he go to bed after ten o'clock?"
Liang Wenjun nodded: "Yes."
Yue Lingchuan asked: "Can anyone prove it?"
Liang Wenjun smiled: "I just slept, who can prove it?"
Yue Lingchuan said: "If there is no witness, whether he slept or not is just your one-sided statement, right?"
Liang Wenjun snorted, then said lazily: "My girlfriend was here last night, can this prove it?"
He raised his eyebrows and said in a rather provocative tone: "It's the one downstairs just now. Officer, do you want to go and find out more about him?"
Yue Lingchuan's expression remained unchanged: "Of course, I don't need to remind you, Mr. Liang."
After he said that, regardless of Liang Wenjun's unhappy expression, he actually asked a criminal police officer beside him to go out.
About six or seven minutes later, the criminal police officer came back and nodded to Yue Lingchuan, saying, "She said that she fell asleep around nine or less than ten last night. I asked her and she didn't wake up until around seven this morning."
He paused and said, "The female comrade said that Liang Wenjun was by her side before she fell asleep and when she woke up."
Shen Qingye nodded and said, "That means... during the time she was asleep, it's not certain whether Liang Wenjun was by her side or not?"
The detective said, “That’s what I mean.”
Shen Qingye looked at Liang Wenjun: "Mr. Liang, what do you say?"
Liang Wenjun almost laughed out of anger after hearing this: "What can I say? What can I say?"
He leaned back in his chair and pulled the corners of his lips: "I've already said I'm sleeping, I'm sleeping, why do I need someone to stare at me when I'm sleeping to prove that I'm sleeping?"
He sat up straight, looking puzzled: "No, police comrade, what are you doing here?"
"I'm also sad about what happened to my uncle's family, but what does this have to do with the question you asked?"
"Of course it is related." Yue Lingchuan looked at him and said calmly, "In fact, after our investigation, we found that the gas leak at the Liang family was not an accident, but someone deliberately damaged the gas tank hose."
He stared at his expression closely: "In other words, your uncle's family was actually murdered."
Liang Wenjun was startled at first, then slowly came back to his senses: "Oh - it seems that you are doubting me, right?"
He pointed at his nose and couldn't help laughing: "You are asking these questions here, actually because you suspect that I deliberately released the gas, and that I killed my uncle's family?"
He looked puzzled and asked excitedly, "Are you kidding me?"
Yue Lingchuan looked calm: "Mr. Liang, I still say the same thing. When we police investigate cases, we focus on evidence, not jokes."
"According to our investigation, there were no signs that the door to the Liang family's house had been pried open, which means that the murderer used a key to open the door and get in."
"Moreover, after destroying the gas pipeline, the murderer also skillfully found the place where the mosquito coils were placed in the living room on the first floor and lit them as a tool to detonate the gas."
"From this, it can be inferred that the murderer should be someone who is very familiar with the Liang family."
Hearing this, Liang Wenjun raised his voice: "So you guys are suspicious of me?"
He couldn't help but stand up, turned around on the spot, and then looked back at them and said, "You also said that he was my uncle. Why would I kill him for no reason? Am I sick?"
Shen Qingye's expression remained calm, and he said, "We are just conducting a routine investigation, why is Mr. Liang so excited?"
She paused, then added: "Besides, it can't be considered without reason, right?"
Liang Wenjun paused: "What do you mean?"
Shen Qingye looked at him and said, "Didn't you have a conflict with Liang Yongcheng a few days before the incident?"
Liang Wenjun's expression froze slightly.
Shen Qingye continued: "On Thursday, right?"
She looked at him quietly: "Mr. Liang, I'm very curious, what did you say that day to make Liang Yongcheng, who is always good-tempered, so angry?"
“Can you answer this question for us?”
The air around them was silent for a moment. Liang Wenjun stared at her for a long while before he let out a short sigh: "I finally understand. You suspected me because of this matter."
"That's right." Shen Qingye spoke directly, his eyes dark and deep: "So, can Mr. Liang help us solve this puzzle?"
