She clenched her fists tightly. "Old Yu is very good to me and my children. He said that after working for a few more years and buying a house, he would retire and we could live a good life as a family of three."
"He wouldn't commit suicide. You have to investigate. He was forced to do it."
"Don't get excited." Xiao Chen calmed her down.
"Ms. Li, your husband's situation is very complicated. If you want to understand what's going on, you have to cooperate with us and tell us the truth."
"Tell me, how do you want me to cooperate?" Li Juan wiped her tears, as if she had made up her mind.
"Tell me everything you know about your husband," Xiao Chen said. "Because your husband's status is special, the people he works for are also very influential."
"Only if you tell us the truth and everything your husband told us before he died, can we bring him to justice for you."
Li Juan nodded gently: "Ask me whatever you want. I will tell you everything I know."
"Okay then." Xiao Chen nodded. "When you married your husband, did you really not know his identity at all?"
"I don't know his identity." Li Juan nodded. "I only know his name. His hometown is Wei County."
"A long time ago, the Wei River burst its banks and his entire family drowned. He could do some carpentry work and helped others in the city make cabinets and decorate them."
"Has he ever told you who his boss is?" Tao Meng asked.
"They never mentioned it. They only said that it was a boss named Yang, who was very generous and had a wide network of contacts. He spent very little time at home each year and was basically out with his boss."
"My surname is Yang." Xiao Chen's mouth twitched. Xiao Wanli was really careful.
"The truth is, the boss your husband mentioned is surnamed Xiao, and they're a wealthy family in Yanjing," Xiao Chen said.
"For a wealthy family like theirs, there are always some dirty jobs that are inconvenient to do. Your husband, Chen Qingshan, is the one who takes care of these dirty jobs for his boss."
"I don't know anything you mentioned. I only know that he is a very honest person, doesn't smoke or drink, and is very good to my mother and me." Li Juan shook her head.
She didn't want to hear this. In her eyes, Chen Qingshan was a perfect husband, and she couldn't bear to hear others say that about her husband.
"Li Juan, whether you are willing to admit it or not, your husband is an evil man with blood on his hands." Tao Meng frowned.
As a woman, she really didn't want to see Li Juan being kept in the dark.
Li Juan is a poor person. Even though the truth is right in front of her, she is unwilling to believe that her husband is a bad man.
"What is a bad person?" Li Juan asked back, "In your opinion, anyone who has taken a life is a bad person."
"But I don't think so. My husband is a family man and treats me and our children very well."
"He was a loyal and honest man who got along well with his neighbors. He was an excellent carpenter and never asked for anything in return when his neighbors asked him for help."
"The evil man in your eyes is a good husband and a good father in my eyes and in the eyes of my children."
These words left Tao Meng speechless.
Yes, people look at things from different perspectives, so their evaluations of these things are also different.
In her eyes, Chen Qingshan poisoned the tap water in anger because of a dispute with his father-in-law's family, resulting in the poisoning of hundreds of people.
But little did he know that his ex-wife had cheated him out of all his savings as a betrothal gift and wanted to divorce him less than a day after the marriage.
Who can really tell what is right and what is wrong in this world?
"Let's not talk about this for now." Xiao Chen said, "Your husband was indeed an accomplice to evil and helped that boss do a lot of bad things."
"But he is just a tool in the hands of the boss behind the scenes. We want to hold the boss behind the scenes accountable."
Li Juan's emotions finally calmed down a bit, and she asked Xiao Chen, "What should I do now?"
"Did your husband leave anything for you before he died?" Xiao Chen asked.
"He..." Li Juan only managed one word, but then shook her head as if remembering something: "He didn't leave anything behind."
Tao Meng frowned, she was a little disappointed with the result.
It seems that the idea of using Li Juan as a breakthrough point is not feasible.
"Are you sure? Do you want to think about it carefully?" Xiao Chen stared at Li Juan and said, "Only if you tell the truth can we help you."
"Really nothing." Li Juan lowered her head in thought for a long time before she looked up: "My husband didn't leave me anything when he was alive."
Xiao Chen looked at Li Juan for a long moment before speaking: "Did he say anything to you the last time he left home?"
"No, he said he was going to work for the big boss as usual, but this time he never came back." Li Juan shook her head.
Then she said anxiously, "You said my husband is dead, so where is his body?"
"His body is still in Jiangcheng." Xiao Chen said, "After he started working for that big boss, he was asked to commit suicide in order to silence him."
"Why? Why did he have to commit suicide? He could have just agreed to the other party first, then come back, and our family would have gone far away?"
Li Juan was stunned for a moment, then her emotions broke down: "Why is he so stupid? Is he just going to abandon us mother and daughter and not care about us?"
"He is not abandoning you and your mother. On the contrary, he is protecting you." Xiao Chen's expression was somewhat sympathetic.
"The other party has a strong background and is very powerful. No matter where you escape to, he will find you."
Li Juan took a deep breath and said, "I'm going to Jiangcheng to retrieve his body."
"I'm sorry, the case is not yet concluded, so the body cannot be taken back for the time being." Xiao Chen said, "But you can take the children to Jiangcheng to see him."
"Then I'm going to see him." Li Juan's expression was firm.
"Okay, I'll arrange it." Xiao Chen nodded.
After leaving the interrogation room, Tao Meng felt somewhat helpless: "Doesn't this mean that we didn't get anything out of it?"
"We didn't find out anything, but at least we know that Li Juan is deliberately hiding something," said Xiao Chen.
"How do you know she is hiding something?" Tao Meng was stunned.
"Officer Tao, you haven't been in good shape lately." Xiao Chen smiled. "You were so absent-minded during the interrogation that you didn't even notice Li Juan's expression and thoughts?"
"I... am indeed a little out of shape." Tao Meng felt a little embarrassed.
She has not yet completely gotten over the death of her senior brother and is often distracted, so she really didn't see anything just now.
"Just now, when I asked her if Chen Qingshan had left anything behind, her expression was clearly hesitant and struggling."
"What is she hiding?" Tao Meng reacted instantly.
