There was a room at the end of the corridor, and Zhang Hua walked in.
The room was divided into two spaces by a glass, and there was a man in handcuffs on the other side of the glass.
The man's hairline was high, and there was no sign of the thickness that had once been hidden under the dog-skin hat.
The man's facial features have become squeezed together due to weight gain, and he has long lost the handsomeness of his youth.
The strength that once allowed him to carry a sheep through thick snow to reach the Lu family has been wasted over the years and turned into fat on his belly.
After obtaining consent from the accompanying police, Zhang Hua sat in front of the glass partition and pressed the hands-free button on the phone.
"Uncle Maodan."
Zhang Hua called the other person like this.
It was this simple name that made the person in charge who had been refusing to cooperate with the police investigation raise his head.
His cloudy eyes were like a knife blade the moment he raised them, but they suddenly softened after he saw Zhang Hua sitting opposite him, and then turned into defensiveness and unfamiliarity the next moment.
Zhang Hua said lightly, "Uncle Maodan, I looked at the USB drive you gave me, and the police also looked at it. I heard the police officer in charge of the case say that it might be a test and invitation for me, but I don't think so. When I was a kid, I got a fever playing in the snow, and my uncle said you were out of line and he was going to punish you severely. I saw you standing outside the window with red eyes. You made me lots of little orange lanterns and snowmen and put them on the windowsill. My uncle found out and scolded you, but the next day you still came to give me little orange lanterns and snowmen as usual."
There are many bad people in this world.
Uncle Lu and Uncle Maodan, who had loved Zhang Hua, had both done bad things.
But they were all very nice to Zhang Hua, and that was the beautiful memory in Zhang Hua's mind.
Later, when his parents refused to take Zhang Hua back to the Lu family's house, Zhang Hua questioned them. Children are easy to coax, so he found an excuse this time and an excuse next time, and Zhang Hua gradually stopped clamoring to go back to the Lu family's house.
The Lu family's uncles, Maodan, the Lu family's aunts, and Zhang Hua's snowman castle will always exist in the memories of the past.
The police said the USB flash drive was a test and an invitation, but Zhang Hua didn't believe it.
Uncle Maodan would never invite him to join in smuggling.
That USB flash drive was a warning from Uncle Maodan. Uncle Maodan wanted him to stay away from smuggling!
Mao Danming, head of Kumho Import and Export Trading's subsidiary, showed emotion for the first time after being arrested by police.
Mao Danming hadn't slept or spoken for days. His voice was hoarse. He asked Zhang Hua, "Why did your mother die?"
Mao Danming spoke!
The police who were monitoring the meeting between Zhang Hua and Mao Danming were very excited.
As long as the suspect is willing to speak, the police can proceed to the next step!
Shh!
calm!
The police did not interrupt the meeting between Zhang Hua and Mao Danming.
Facing Mao Danming's question, Zhang Hua answered without hesitation: "My father killed him."
Mao Danming felt as if a pair of invisible hands were pinching his neck. Veins popped out of his forehead and his throat rasped. “I knew it… I knew it… Haha!!!”
It sounds like Mao Danming had long suspected the cause of Lu Meishu's death, and now he asked Zhang Hua just to confirm it.
As for Zhang Hua's statement that Lu Meishu was killed by Zhang Zhijun, the police listened and did not correct him.
Even if Lu Meishu truly committed suicide, it was motivated by Zhang Zhijun's mistress and illegitimate daughter, so she was indeed killed by Zhang Zhijun. Furthermore, both Zhang Hua and Mao Danming were deeply concerned about Lu Meishu's death... To be frank, if Lu Meishu hadn't died, Zhang Hua and Mao Danming wouldn't have been so proactive in exposing Zhang Zhijun's smuggling crimes!
Zhang Hua applied to meet with Mao Danming, and the police agreed after careful consideration because the expert who did the psychological profile of Mao Danming felt that Mao Danming might have unusual feelings for Lu Meishu.
Mao Danming was married before entering Jinhu and obtained a new household registration through marriage.
Over the years, Mao Danming and his wife's relationship seemed good to outsiders. The couple always appeared affectionate and loving each other. The only drawback was that they had no children after many years of marriage.
Mao Danming was arrested and his wife was also the focus of interrogation.
The police discovered that Mao Danming's wife knew nothing. Mao Danming gave her a monthly allowance to cover household expenses and even bought her a house. In reality, the couple didn't even have a normal married life. Mao Danming's wife had always been interested in the same sex, and the couple was living in what's known as a marriage of convenience.
Initially, the police believed that Mao Danming chose a marriage of convenience to hide his past identity and prevent his partner from knowing what he was doing. However, a deeper investigation revealed that Mao Danming did not even have a lover outside of the marriage of convenience - where did he place his emotions?!
After reviewing Mao Danming's life experience and combining it with his behavior of giving the USB flash drive to Zhang Hua, psychological experts believe that Lu Meishu is Mao Danming's emotional support.
After Lu Meishu died, Mao Danming became abnormal.
Zhang Zhijun was the "murderer" who killed Lu Meishu, and Mao Danming hated Zhang Zhijun!
