Chapter 174: Innocent She told you in person that she ate that thing...
Zhou Qiming's eyelids jumped fiercely: "Rumor?"
"Have you tried it?"
Dong Xuyuan shook her head desperately and denied it flatly: "How is it possible?"
She frowned and looked resistant: "It's not like I can't have children, why would I do this?"
"Besides, these are just rumors from our side. It's hard to tell whether they are true or not!"
Zhou Qiming frowned slightly: "Is this rumor widely spread among you?"
Dong Xuyuan paused and said, "About the same..."
She said vaguely: "Anyway, women of the right age in our area all know about this. Some who have reached that age but still have no children will try this method..."
As she spoke, she quickly added: "Of course, they have discussed it with the families. If a family doesn't want to have a child after getting pregnant, they will give them some money and leave the aborted fetus to them. Or they will inform the hospital in advance... No one would really do such a thing as killing someone!"
"There are so many abortions every year, so many aborted fetuses, it's enough. Why do we need to kill people?"
"That day I mentioned this matter in front of those ladies. Tan Yuwei didn't react at the time. Later she came to me quietly and asked me if this method was true... I didn't think much about it at the time. I just thought she was just like everyone else, spending some money. For a family like us, even if we lack other things, it's impossible for us to lack a little money!"
"How would I know that she would do such a thing..."
Zhou Qiming's mind was racing and his brows were furrowed.
According to this statement, there was no need for Qin Yuwei to kill anyone. It was just a matter of spending a little money... Why did she set her sights on Zhou Xiangyun and even risk her own life?
Jiang Cheng asked: "Is this method useful?"
"This..." Dong Xuyuan opened her mouth: "It's hard to say anything about this...Is it useful?"
She muttered, "Most people will never have children. But there are some who, after eating it,...really get pregnant."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Qiming looked at Jiang Cheng and fell silent for a moment.
This kind of "folk remedy" is obviously useless for most people. But as long as there are a few people in the group who benefit from it, they will subconsciously attribute the cause to that folk remedy, and then spread the word to ten people, ten people to a hundred people.
Only more people will be convinced by this "folk remedy" and more people will flock to it.
Zhou Qiming asked: "Are there any restrictions on this kind of folk remedy?"
"For example, do you want to know in advance whether the fetus is a boy or a girl? Or whether the child is healthy? Does he have any diseases or defects?"
Dong Xuyuan hesitated for a while and shook her head uncertainly: "I'm not sure about this..."
"I have only heard of this method, but I really don't know what the actual operation process is."
"But when I think about it, it shouldn't be a very troublesome request. When the elders talk about this kind of thing sometimes, they all talk about finding a pregnant woman who doesn't want a child and "predetermining" their child in advance. As for meeting an unhealthy one... Under the conditions in the past, no one could know in advance whether the child was healthy or not, so I guess there weren't that many requirements..."
Zhou Qiming's eyebrows moved slightly: "Do you know Tan Yuwei's implementation process?"
Dong Xuyuan hurriedly shook her head: "How would I know? I don't know much about this. Later, she always came to me before coming, asking about this kind of thing in her words and deeds. I simply told her the address of my hometown and told her that she could go and ask if she was interested."
"Later, she came to me several times. Although I was curious, I didn't want to ask too much because this kind of thing doesn't last long. I just mentioned it vaguely occasionally, and she said it would be soon, so I didn't ask any more questions."
"Then do you know what specific actions she carried out that day?"
Dong Xuyuan thought for a moment and said, "It should be the 4th."
Zhou Qiming's eyes moved: "Are you sure?"
"Sure!" Dong Xuyuan said, "It's only been a few days. I still have some impression of it."
"She came to our house that morning. When I saw her for the first time, I felt that she was completely different from usual. Hmm...how should I put it? It's not an exaggeration to say that she looked radiant. She just looked extremely relaxed, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders. I had some vague thoughts at the time, and asked her cryptically if it worked, and she said yes."
The 4th was the day after Zhou Xiangyun was murdered.
"She acted very relaxed?" Zhou Qiming asked, "Did she tell you in person that she ate that thing?"
Dong Xuyuan said: "Well... that's not the case... but I did ask her! I was really curious at the time, because I had only heard about this before, but no one around me had ever done it. Plus, I felt a little uncomfortable and nauseous, thinking that this was no different from eating human flesh, so I felt a little nauseous. I jokingly asked her how it tasted. She laughed at the time..."
Dong Xuyuan shuddered: "It was a weird feeling. When I watched it, I got goosebumps and remembered it a little bit."
"She said it tasted good and was not as unacceptable as she had imagined... She was touching her belly as she was talking, as if there was a baby inside... It was so painful to see that, so I changed the subject and didn't talk about it anymore."
Zhou Qiming glanced at Jiang Cheng and couldn't help scratching his exposed arm. The more he listened, the more uncomfortable he felt.
Dong Xuyuan is right, isn’t this just cannibalism?
What’s ridiculous is that there are actually people who believe in this “folk remedy”.
The two of them remained silent. Dong Xuyuan, who was standing aside, felt uneasy and could not help but speak:
"Comrade police officer, I am truly innocent! I thought she was just looking for someone from the hospital, at most a healthy child with no problems. I really didn't expect her to kill someone!"
"I, I, I, I don't know why she did this. I really don't understand! And I don't know her well. I've only known her for two months. I'm not to the point where I would risk my life for her! I'm not like her. I have a husband and children. My family is harmonious and happy. There's no need for me to do such a thing!"
"Comrade police, you really have to trust me!"
Zhou Qiming took a deep breath: "Don't worry, we will continue to investigate the truth. If you are really innocent, we will definitely not wrongly accuse you!"
"I'm relieved, I'm relieved!" Dong Xuyuan nodded hurriedly: "You must believe me, I'm innocent, I really don't know what happened!"
......
When the two men walked out of the interrogation room, the night sky was pitch black, but the stars were still shining brightly.
The bright crescent moon leans toward the southwest, casting an impenetrable veil over the world, making it hazy.
With a "click" sound, the door of the interrogation room next to him was opened. Zhou Qiming looked back and saw Yue Lingchuan and Shen Qingye also walked out.
"Boss." Zhou Qiming leaned on the railing, his brows drooping, and greeted him lazily.
