Chapter 196 The Culprit You suspect that the culprit in this case is Liang Shiming...
The trial can be said to have gone smoothly, but it can also be said to have not gone so smoothly.
Lin Xiaowei has just graduated for two years and has not experienced much. Those little thoughts are nothing in front of the professional criminal police. After further interrogation, he could no longer bear it. In addition, colleagues from the technical department worked overtime to extract Xia Tingyi's fingerprint information from his water cup. With irrefutable evidence, Lin Xiaowei had no way to deny it.
After struggling for a while, Lin Xiaowei finally admitted it.
He admitted that he killed Xia Tingyi, but when talking about the reason, he only said that there was a murder grudge between him and Xia Tingyi. He casually said something like his love was rejected and she looked down upon him. But Xia Tingyi is already dead, and there are no witnesses, so whether this happened or not is just a matter of his words.
Yan Haifeng and others naturally didn't believe it.
But no matter how much they asked, Lin Xiaowei always insisted on this statement and took all the responsibility on his own shoulders. Later, when he realized that his statement could not convince the police, he simply began to make random accusations, saying that it was the teacher's instructions, and then that it was the dean's intention. He also made up stories that he had mental problems and simply wanted to kill people.
But no matter which statement is true, the Liang family is never involved.
Yan Haifeng tentatively mentioned the Liang family to him, but he looked confused. In the end, he understood and just said:
"——Oh, you mean Xia Tingyi's ex-boyfriend."
"I know him, what's wrong?"
Shen Qingye and Yue Lingchuan looked at him for a long time in the monitoring room, tapping the table with their knuckles from time to time, and did not speak for a long time.
Lin Xiaowei's unwillingness to tell the truth was actually within their expectations.
If the Liang family is really the mastermind behind this incident, then given Liang Shiming's status and experience, it is naturally impossible for him to just find someone with loose lips to do things for him.
The possibility of getting the answer they want from Lin Xiaowei is very low.
"I asked you to investigate the matter about Lin Xiaowei's school. How is your investigation going?"
Yan Haifeng tilted his head and asked. Xiao Xu said helplessly: "I have arranged for everyone to check, but it will probably take a while to get the results."
Yan Haifeng rubbed his forehead. He had been troubled by this case for a while. "Lin Xiaowei's story changes every now and then. Obviously, it is not credible. The Liang family is hiding deep. It is probably not that easy to find a way in."
He sighed, looked at Yue Lingchuan, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you think?"
Yue Lingchuan raised his eyes from the information in front of him, his expression calm: "No matter how deep it is hidden, there will always be a breakthrough."
"The Liang family is closely related to this matter. This can be confirmed."
Yan Haifeng became interested instantly after hearing this. He pulled a stool and sat next to Yue Lingchuan. His eyes fell on the information in front of him and he asked with interest, "What do you mean? What did you find out?"
Yue Lingchuan raised his hand and tapped the table, saying, "Since you took over the case from the lower-level department, you have summoned Liang Jinwen more than once, right?"
Yan Haifeng nodded: "Yes."
He glanced at the black and white words in front of him, which were all Liang Jinwen's confessions from time to time: "We summoned him three times, but every time he said something correct."
He read the confessions again and indeed found no problems.
Yue Lingchuan shook his head: "No."
"He can come three times, that's the biggest problem."
Yan Haifeng's eyebrows jumped, and he realized something belatedly.
Yue Lingchuan asked: "You haven't had much dealings with him, right?"
Yan Haifeng shook his head slowly.
Although he knew the name of this young man, he had never had much dealings with him. After all, the tower crane has only been here for a short time, only three or four years.
Yue Lingchuan said slowly, "Liang Jinwen has grown older in recent years, and has become more restrained - or maybe it's not restrained, it's just that he's simply had enough fun and it's not interesting anymore, so he's caused less trouble."
"When he was in his teens and twenties, he had a lot of fun. It was no big deal for him to go to the police station every other day. Sometimes, when he was in a bad mood, he didn't even want to go to the police station and would just send someone to handle it."
Yue Lingchuan looked at Yan Haifeng and said slowly: "In the past two years, he has caused less trouble, but it doesn't mean that his temper has improved."
"You called him three times, and he came every time - if this matter really had nothing to do with him, would he be so cooperative?"
He laughed and said, "He really did destroy a police station."
The conference room fell silent for a moment, and Yan Haifeng slowly fell into deep thought.
It is strange that Liang Jinwen would cooperate like this.
"In the past, when there were fights and injuries, or even near-fatal incidents, Liang Jinwen would go when he was in a good mood, and ignore it when he was in a bad mood. But this time, he came patiently every time."
In other words, this time it’s not just something going on, it’s a big deal.
It was a matter so serious that even Liang Jinwen couldn't let his temper get the better of him.
Yan Haifeng's brows slowly darkened.
Shen Qingye was silent for a moment, but suddenly asked: "Then, is Xia Tingyi's incident simply related to Liang Jinwen, or... is Liang Shiming also involved?"
Everyone was stunned, but Yue Lingchuan looked at her with a smile in his eyes.
Staring at the gazes of several people, Shen Qingye slowly explained: "At present, we can roughly speculate that Xia Tingyi did something or discovered something that led the Liang family to instruct Lin Xiaowei to kill people."
"But what did she find?"
"Captain Yue just said that the Liang family has not had a very good reputation in Huaiyang over the years, and they have been involved in a lot of scandals. If Xia Tingyi simply discovered something, the Liang family would not have to care too much. After all, to put it bluntly, if there are too many lice, they are not afraid of itching. But why did they choose to kill her?"
That means, just as they had just speculated, this matter is different from all the previous ones.
"But you also said that Liang Jinwen has always been uneducated and has nothing to do. He just eats, drinks and has fun every day, and has not taken over the family business. People like him are strictly controlled by his father. Even if he gets into trouble, there is a limit to his ability."
But now, something happened that clearly exceeded their previous limits.
Could it really be Liang Jinwen who caused this?
Yan Haifeng said: "You mean... in this case, maybe the culprit is not Liang Jinwen, but Liang Shiming?"
Shen Qingye said calmly: "It's just a suspicion."
Yan Haifeng's eyes darkened.
Yes. After this case came out, he also investigated Liang Jinwen. The other party is a bit lawless in their actions, but every time something happens, they are used to settling it with money. I have never heard of any case where anyone involved died. But this time——
"Whether it is or not, you will know it by exploring."
Yue Lingchuan suddenly spoke, Shen Qingye raised his eyes and asked him: "Do you want to pass it on to him again?"
Yue Lingchuan smiled: "Why is it necessary to go through so much trouble?"
