Chapter 77 Suspicion of Guan Lili
"Are they here to see Dad?"
The child's clear voice sounded again. Guan Lili blinked hurriedly and turned back to say, "No, it's my mother's friend who came to play with me!"
She then instructed the nanny beside her, her voice slightly lowered: "Sister Liu, take Haohao back to his room to read."
The nanny had heard their conversation and looked a little flustered and at a loss. After hearing what Guan Lili said, she said "eh" and hurriedly coaxed and persuaded the child to go to the bedroom.
Guan Lili's face didn't look good. She looked at the two of them for a few more times before she took a deep breath and turned sideways and said, "Come in."
The two sat down on the sofa. Guan Lili poured two glasses of water in front of them before sitting down opposite them and said, "What do you mean by what you just said? What do you mean by intentional homicide? Song Yansheng? How is that possible?"
Shen Qingye didn't drink the water, but looked at her and said calmly: "The police have sufficient evidence, and Song Yansheng has confessed. Otherwise, we would not come here so easily."
Guan Lili's face was stiff, her slender fingers hanging on her knees were tightly clenching her palms, and her mind was in a mess.
After a long moment, she blinked and asked blankly, "Who did he kill? Why did he kill people? What was the reason?"
Shen Qingye said: "The deceased were two construction workers from a residential project under Hengtai. According to Song Yansheng, he had a conflict with the deceased Feng Yuxue and decided to hire someone to kill him. Later, he had a conflict with the murderer Su Jinfu over the issue of reward and beat him to death."
She raised her eyes to look at Guan Lili, closely watching her every expression change: "Does Ms. Guan know about these things?"
As early as when she heard the word Hengtai, Guan Lili's eyelids twitched. Listening to Shen Qingye's question at this moment, she shook her head in panic: "No, I don't know!"
"How should I know?"
Shen Qingye said: "Really? You are husband and wife, don't you know these things?"
Guan Lili said: "We, we are husband and wife, but he never tells me about his work. I really don't know what the police comrade is..."
Shen Qingye continued, "Then you also don't know about the fact that he often takes kickbacks during the project?"
"What?" Guan Lili looked confused: "What do you mean by taking kickbacks?"
Shen Qingye smiled: "Ms. Guan, you are also his wife. It's okay if you don't know other things, but don't you even know the financial situation of the family?"
She glanced at the dress Guan Lili was wearing and said, "This dress Ms. Guan is not cheap, is it? It seems to be a new spring model from Z? If I remember correctly, it should cost more than 3,000 yuan, right?"
Guan Lili subconsciously touched her skirt. Shen Qingye said, "As far as I know, Song Yansheng's monthly salary is only 3,000 yuan. Ms. Guan is so generous. Have you ever thought about where the money comes from?"
Guan Lili felt bitter for a moment. How could she know where his money came from? It wasn't his money she was spending.
She stammered, "I, I don't know. He gives me the monthly household allowance directly. I really don't know how much he earns every month. He gives it to me and I spend it. I really don't know what kind of kickbacks he gets or anything like that. I really don't understand his work..."
Shen Qingye smiled: "Ms. Guan doesn't know anything - it sounds like your relationship is not very good?"
Guan Lili paused for a moment, then licked her lips and said, "Song Yansheng and I..."
She hesitated for a while, and after careful consideration, she said, "Our relationship has indeed not been that good over the years..."
Shen Qingye: "Oh? Excuse me, how did you and Song Yansheng get to know each other?"
Guan Lili raised her hand and touched her hair, saying, "He and I, at first, the company I worked for, had a collaboration with his company."
She nodded slowly: "Yes, because we worked together once and that's how we got to know each other."
Shen Qingye asked again: "When exactly?"
Guan Lili licked her lips and said, "Yes... May 1998, yes, May 1998."
Yue Lingchuan listened to her repeating words and watched her little movements, his eyes dimmed slightly.
Shen Qingye continued: "You met in May 1998 and got married in August?"
Guan Lili nodded: "Yes, yes."
"So what did you just say about not having a good relationship these years?"
Guan Lili looked up at her, pursed her lips, and said nothing.
Shen Qingye added: "Also, there is another question. You and Song Yansheng got married in August, but your child was born in February of the following year—"
She looked at the woman and whispered, "From what I know, the chances of a premature baby less than six months old surviving are very low, right?"
Guan Lili tightened her hands on her knees again and again. After a long time, she let out a deep breath and said:
"We, Haohao...had it before we got married."
Shen Qingye looked at her quietly without disturbing her.
Guan Lili licked her lips and said, "I was dating Song Yansheng at the time, but one time, I accidentally got pregnant. I didn't notice it at first, and by the time I realized it, the baby was already more than three months old."
She blinked. "Actually, although we had a good relationship at the time, we weren't at the stage of talking about marriage. But because of this child, there have been some changes. Song Yansheng attached great importance to the child because he had no family. I hoped that I could give birth to the child. I didn't really want to get married so early. But, but..."
She whispered, "He's pretty good to me, and he's generous. Plus, he has a stable job and earns a lot, so I think there's nothing wrong with marrying him."
"Then, it just happened naturally..."
She lifted her hair again, her eyes wandering a little: "I stopped working after I got pregnant and stayed at home all the time. Later, he gave me living expenses and child-rearing expenses regularly every month, but I really don't know how much money he has. Anyway, it's good to have money to spend. After all, he is the chairman's secretary, so I thought his salary must be high..."
"Especially in the past few years, he has been getting busier and busier at work, and he often goes on business trips. Even when he comes home, we don't have much to talk about, and our feelings have naturally faded. So he never told me about work, and I never asked..."
She looked at Shen Qingye and said, "So, police comrade, he did that, took kickbacks, and killed someone... I, I really don't know."
Shen Qingye looked at her wandering eyes that didn't dare to look him in the face. He blinked at an abnormal frequency, and his eyes dropped slightly, landing on her fingers that kept tugging at her skirt. After a moment, he smiled softly: "Okay, I think I understand."
She said, "That is to say, you rarely communicate at home, right? And you haven't noticed anything unusual about him?"
Guan Lili nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, yes, I don't know, I really don't know!"
She asked cautiously, "Comrade police, will this matter involve me? I know nothing. I am innocent. Will my child and I be okay?"
Shen Qingye's eyes deepened slightly, and he said in a gentle voice: "Don't worry, if the investigation results show that you really didn't know, then we won't implicate innocent people. But..."
She paused, and seeing that Guan Lili was panicking again, she slowly said, "But Song Yansheng took kickbacks in the project, which damaged the interests of their company after all. If the chairman of Hengtai wants to hold him accountable and demand compensation, then given your relationship as a couple, I'm afraid you will have to bear part of the compensation liability."
Hearing this, Guan Lili heaved a sigh of relief subconsciously, and then hurriedly smiled and said, "I understand, I understand!"
Her brows stretched unconsciously, and her expression relaxed in an instant. She said, "If the company really wants to hold me responsible, then, then I will try my best to compensate you. After all, you also said that he and I are husband and wife, and I also spent so much of his money, right?"
She added: "As long as I don't go to jail, it's fine. As long as I don't go to jail, it's fine."
Shen Qingye looked at her expression, his eyes darkened slightly, and thought to himself, as expected.
It was just a simple test, but Guan Lili's subconscious reaction showed that she was not afraid of losing money.
Why? Is it because she has money and is not afraid of compensation, or is it because she is sure that Jiang Chengtao will not let them pay compensation?
Shen Qingye's expression remained unchanged, still with a gentle smile on his face, and he continued, "We have already understood the general situation. Thank you Ms. Guan for your cooperation. There is one more thing. Can we go to Song Yansheng's bedroom to take a look?"
Guan Lili stood up quickly: "Of course!"
She led the two of them to a bedroom on the right side of the living room, opened the door and said, "Song Yansheng usually lives here, you can look around."
The space inside the house is not big, about 20 square meters. The interior is simply decorated, with a large bed in the middle with only one pillow on it.
Shen Qingye looked at her: "You and Song Yansheng...didn't you sleep together?"
Guan Lili's face froze for a moment, then she said hurriedly, "Yes, that's right. Because the child is still young, I have to sleep with him. But Song Yansheng usually comes home late, and every time he goes in and out, he disturbs our sleep. Haohao often wakes up in the middle of the night, so I sleep with him, and Song Yansheng sleeps here alone."
Shen Qingye nodded with a smile, seemingly without any doubt: "I see."
They walked around Song Yansheng's bedroom and looked through the drawers and wardrobe, but didn't find anything.
Come to think of it, if it is really what they think, then with Lili around, even if there is something, it is unlikely that Song Yansheng would hide it at home.
The two looked at each other, and Shen Qingye said goodbye. Guan Lili hurriedly saw them out the door. After watching their backs disappear from the corridor, she closed the door and her face instantly darkened:
"What does Song Yansheng, that idiot, do for a living?"
She sat down heavily on the sofa, ignoring the nanny who came out of the room with the child in her arms, she took her phone and found a number to dial. The moment the call was connected, she immediately spoke in a tender voice:
"Husband~"
A smiling male voice came from the other end of the phone, and he said in a low and hoarse voice: "What's wrong, baby? Do you miss me?"
"I miss you so much!" Guan Lili snorted and complained in a delicate voice, "You don't know, the police suddenly came to my house today, I was scared to death..."
"What on earth is going on..."
