Chapter 83: Solving the Case Jiang Chengtao, you are suspected of intentional homicide, come with us...
"Officer, I have already confessed everything I can. I really don't know what else I can say."
After spending a few days in the detention room, Song Yansheng no longer looked as gentle and elegant as before. He looked a little haggard. He raised his hand to push his glasses, with helplessness between his brows.
He looked at Yue Lingchuan, spread his hands and said, "What's wrong with me that I have to take the blame for others? I might have to stay in jail for the rest of my life, what's the point of that?"
"What are you trying to achieve? Only you know it." Yue Lingchuan sorted out the documents beside him and looked at him leisurely: "Song Yansheng, this is the last chance we give you. I hope you can cherish it."
Song Yansheng sighed: "I want to cherish it, but I really don't know how to cherish it."
He leaned back in the interrogation chair and said helplessly, "Just tell me what you want me to confess, officer. I really can't think of anything else I can't say."
"Really?" Yue Lingchuan shook his head: "Song Yansheng, even now, you are still stubborn."
He added: "But it is also true that you have made so many plans, and I think you will not give up until you see the Yellow River."
Yue Lingchuan pulled out a photo from the pile of information in front of him and said to Song Yansheng, "Do you know this person?"
Song Yansheng's eyes moved slightly, he glanced at the photo, and his expression changed: "This is my son."
He leaned forward, looking a little anxious: "Comrade police, what are you doing with my son's photo?"
"Your son?" Yue Lingchuan smiled and took out another photo: "Song Yansheng, are you sure this is your son?"
"certainly!"
"How come your son looks exactly like Jiang Chengtao?"
Song Yansheng's pupils suddenly shrank, and his hands hanging on the table suddenly tightened. He said in a hoarse voice: "I don't understand what you are talking about."
"Do you not understand, or are you pretending to be confused even though you know the truth?" Yue Lingchuan looked at him calmly: "Song Yansheng, you have been with Jiang Chengtao for so many years, don't you know that Guan Lili was once Jiang Chengtao's girlfriend?"
Song Yansheng's Adam's apple moved slightly. He was silent for a long time before he spoke with difficulty: "What did you say?"
"You said... Lili once followed..."
"I don't know... I really don't know..."
Song Yansheng looked confused for a moment, and shook his head in panic, somewhat helpless.
Yue Lingchuan watched his performance, put the photo down, and asked again: "You don't know?"
Song Yansheng looked grim: "I really don't know. If I knew, how could I..."
Yue Lingchuan interrupted him: "But I heard that you were responsible for arranging all of Jiang Chengtao's lovers before, right?"
Song Yansheng's voice suddenly stopped, and he looked at him with flickering eyes and tightly pursed lips.
Yue Lingchuan looked relaxed, met his gaze, and said calmly, "Song Yansheng, you don't think we're just going to ask you a few simple questions today, do you?"
"If we didn't have sufficient evidence, do you think we would waste our time here with you?"
Song Yansheng tightened his hands on the table, and the usual gentle and decent smile on his face slowly faded.
Yue Lingchuan said: "Guan Lili was once with Jiang Chengtao, and the child doesn't look like you at all - you said you didn't know the child wasn't yours, Song Yansheng, are you stupid, or do you think we are stupid?"
Song Yansheng paused for a moment and blinked slowly.
Yue Lingchuan pulled out Pei Yanling's confession, slapped it on the table, and raised his chin to look at him: "The evidence is already here. Now we are giving you a chance to confess. If you insist on resisting, the worst that can happen is that we will do another paternity test. It will only take half a day. We can definitely wait."
He crossed his arms over his chest and leaned back in his chair: "But Song Yansheng, what good will it do you to delay for half a day?"
The veins on the back of Song Yansheng's clenched hands were bulging, and he remained silent for a long time.
Wei Zhengyi at the side could not help but speak up: "I don't understand how loyal you are to Jiang Chengtao. You are willing to take on the responsibility of spending your whole life in jail for him."
He asked curiously, "Did he save your life?"
Song Yansheng raised his eyes to look at him, then quickly lowered his gaze: "I don't understand what you are talking about."
Wei Zhengyi chuckled: "If you don't understand, then you don't understand. Some people pretend to be confused even though they know the truth. What else can I say?"
"Then let's get back to your son." He deliberately emphasized the three words "your son". Seeing Song Yansheng's face twitching, he said, "Song Yansheng, don't you have anything to explain?"
Song Yansheng was silent for a long time before he finally sighed deeply:
"I say."
He raised his eyes to look at the policemen in front of him, and said in a hoarse voice: "I admit that Yuhao is indeed not my child."
"He is... the child of Guan Lili and my boss."
Yue Lingchuan's expression remained unchanged: "What's the reason?"
Song Yansheng sighed and said, "Boss... we have been married for so many years but have no children. Guan Lili followed the boss at that time. When she got pregnant unexpectedly, the boss was very happy, but he was afraid that the boss's wife would find out and make a fuss, so he discussed with me and asked me to marry Guan Lili and put the child under my household registration."
Wei Zhengyi asked, "You agree? Sacrifice your own marriage?"
Song Yansheng raised his hand and pushed up his glasses, and said calmly: "I joined this company right after I graduated. My boss helped me a lot and taught me a lot. If it weren't for my boss, I wouldn't be where I am today."
"I don't have a wife or a girlfriend. To me, it's just a nominal wife. It can not only repay the boss's kindness, but also make him feel more at ease with me. It will be easier to get a promotion and a raise in the future. I will also get all kinds of benefits. Why not do it?"
He looked up at everyone, his expression slowly calming down: "I admit that the child has nothing to do with me. But they have nothing to do with this case. Apart from living together, we have no other intersections. Their daily food, clothing and expenses are all paid for by the boss, and they have never cost me a penny."
"As for what you said, that I took the blame for my boss, that is totally untrue."
He said: "You also said that my wife is not mine, my children are not mine, and my parents died early, so I have no relatives. Even if my boss is good to me, it is not worth it for me to repay him with the rest of my life. Why should I make such a big sacrifice to take the blame for him?"
"Hey, you can't say that." Yue Lingchuan heard what he said, but smiled and said, "Who said you have no relatives?"
Song Yansheng looked at his smiling face and his eyelids twitched. For some reason, he suddenly had a bad feeling.
Yue Lingchuan said calmly, "Isn't your child in Yu Wenshan's belly?"
Song Yansheng's face turned pale instantly.
Yue Lingchuan smiled gently: "Although the child hasn't been born yet, it's better to say less of this kind of thing, otherwise if someone hears it, they might think you don't look forward to the birth of the child."
Song Yansheng opened his mouth, his mind full of how could it be possible? It was impossible. His heart was pounding wildly. Listening to Yue Lingchuan's words, he felt dazed.
But he still spoke slowly: "But speaking of it, Jiang Chengtao trusts you so much, and almost trains you as his confidant. If he knew that the child his wife had finally managed to seduce was not actually his... I wonder what he would think?"
Song Yansheng raised his eyes suddenly, his eyes flushed red, he pinched his fingers tightly into his palms, forced himself to remain calm, and said word by word: "I don't understand what you are talking about."
He took a deep breath and clenched his teeth: "There is nothing between me and my wife. I just took the boss's wife to the prenatal checkup according to the boss's instructions. How could I be with her--"
Yue Lingchuan suddenly sighed and took out another document: "What's the matter with this report?"
He raised the paper in his hand: "The results of Jiang Chengtao's male examination showed that his sperm activity is extremely low, and it is basically impossible for him to make a woman pregnant."
He saw Song Yansheng open his mouth, and before he could speak, he continued, "Of course, you can also say that low sperm activity does not mean that a woman cannot get pregnant. You can even say that even if he is really infertile, the child in Yu Wenshan's belly may not be yours—"
He took out the notebook he brought back from the hotel and shook it at him: "Do you know what this is?"
Song Yansheng looked at the unfamiliar notebook, feeling a little confused, but more than that, he was panicked about what evidence Yue Lingchuan had found.
Yue Lingchuan didn't keep the secret and said directly: "This is the list of guests who have stayed at Senhao Hotel in the past two years."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a "boom" sound, and Song Yansheng only felt a buzzing in his ears, but strangely, he also felt a sense of relief as if everything had settled.
Sure enough, as expected.
Yue Lingchuan smiled as usual: "Do you need me to tell you what Senhao Hotel is, or do you want me to help you recall how many times you have booked a room there in the past year? Who was traveling with you?"
Song Yansheng stared at him for a long time, and finally leaned weakly on the back of the chair, with his brows lowered and a dejected look.
Yue Lingchuan asked him lightly, "Aren't you going to tell me yet?"
"May I remind you that according to current medical technology, it is possible to extract the fetus's DNA and conduct a paternity test."
"We don't even need to do a paternity test. We can just hand these things over to Jiang Chengtao. What do you think his reaction will be?"
"Will all your planning over the years be in vain?"
Song Yansheng looked up at him, his eyes were bloodshot, his breathing was rapid, and his chest was rising and falling rapidly.
Yue Lingchuan was at ease, looking just as relaxed and calm as he was at the beginning.
Song Yansheng looked at him for a long while, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "I can explain."
"But you have to promise me not to tell Jiang Chengtao about this."
Wei Zhengyi couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Song Yansheng, did you make a mistake?"
He raised his hand and knocked on the table, his voice raised: "Now, we have the initiative, we have sufficient evidence! Whether you confess or not, we can find out what he did behind the scenes! You are not qualified to negotiate with us!"
He looked at him coldly: "Instead of thinking about those things, you might as well tell the truth. Then, in view of your cooperation in the investigation, you can be given a lighter punishment."
"Come out earlier, maybe you can see your child earlier then."
Song Yansheng stared at him intently, almost gritting his teeth. Wei Zhengyi had a cold and stern expression, and just stared at him steadily.
It was unknown how long it took before Song Yansheng finally relaxed as if he could no longer bear it. He closed his eyes, and all the strength in his body disappeared:
"I said..."
…
…
That evening, Hengtai's security guard had just arrived home when he was called by the manager to open the door. He was completely confused. When he arrived at the company, he saw several policemen gathered together downstairs. After the door was opened, he quickly went up to the top floor and rummaged around in an office, and found a notebook and something like a pen.
At the same time, in the Jiang family villa.
Jiang Chengtao had just come back from outside when he heard his wife talking about the police coming to their house today. He waved his hand, looking indifferent, leaning on his wife's belly listening to the movement of the baby. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly heard sirens outside the door. The next moment, bang bang bang knocks on the door broke the warmth of the room.
He exchanged a glance with his wife, opened the door, and asked who it was. Then he saw a familiar face in police uniform with a serious expression, holding up his police ID and saying to him:
"Jiang Chengtao, you are suspected of intentional homicide. Come with us."
Jiang Chengtao's expression slightly changed, and then he smiled again, stretched out his hand and greeted: "Officer Yue..."
With a "snap", the silver-white handcuffs were directly handcuffed. Jiang Chengtao looked at him with a blank expression, unable to react. Yue Lingchuan waved to the people behind him:
"take away."
