In that instant, Jiang Yongxian, who had just appeared calm, was now completely panicked.
Even his face turned pale.
However, he was also familiar with the methods used by the police during interrogation, and deception was one of the most common and basic techniques.
He tried to calm himself down, smiled, and asked, "What did my mother say?"
My mother is a timid person. Could it be that what she originally said wasn't what you wanted to hear, so you used some means to get her to say what you wanted to hear?
The police officer's expression grew even colder. "Comrade Jiang Yongxian, your attempt to arbitrarily label us police officers is futile."
We have thoroughly investigated the relationship between you and Wang Xue.
After the police finished speaking, they presented him with all the evidence, including where he had initially rented the house for Wang Xue, where Wang Xue later lived with Peng Cuiying, and that the child Wang Xue gave birth to was his biological son.
"Comrade Jiang Yongxian, your wife has brought your child home to be adopted, right?"
"Do you need us to notify your wife to bring the child over for a paternity test?" the police officer asked in a deep voice.
"No!" Jiang Yongxian hurriedly replied, his clothes already soaked with cold sweat.
"Officer, what you said is true. But I really don't know where Wang Xue went."
She hasn't been home since over a month ago—yes, the night my brother caused the explosion.
"Moreover, ever since she gave birth, she has become addicted to playing mahjong, often playing all night without going home, and my mother can't control her."
You all know my situation; I can't possibly take care of her.
So when she didn't go back, my mom just assumed that she was playing mahjong outside and didn't want to go back.
Then my brother's incident happened, and none of us paid attention to her anymore.
Later, after my brother's situation was settled, I found out she still hadn't returned. But my mother said she'd been unhappy lately that I wasn't giving her enough money, and that maybe she'd run off with another man...
Jiang Yongxian, looking like he couldn't take it anymore and was about to confess, said it all in one breath.
The police officer stared intently at Jiang Yongxian. "It rained last night, and a body floated up in the river outside the city. According to Wang Xue's mahjong partners, that's her."
It's quite a coincidence.
The police just got information about Wang Xue from Yang Qiaoqiao and found out her real identity.
The local police station reported that a body had been found in the river.
The body was swollen and decomposed, and could be said to be unrecognizable.
However, you can still tell from her clothes that she is Wang Xue.
"Huh?" Jiang Yongxian's eyes widened in shock.
Even the body that was originally sitting upright collapsed suddenly because of disbelief.
"How...how could this be? Why would she go to the river for no reason?"
If the police determine that Wang Xue drowned outside the city on her own, then this matter has nothing to do with him.
At that moment, a forensic doctor knocked on the door and came in, handing the autopsy report to the police officer who was interrogating the suspect.
"Captain Chen, Wang Xue didn't drown. She must have died from severe injuries and was buried by the river, but not deep enough."
It rained last night, and that's how her body was washed out.
"She had multiple fractures, including her ribs, sternum, leg bones, and hand bones. Our preliminary assessment is that she was likely killed by a car."
Jiang Yongxian's eyes were red with emotion as he said, "Officer, Wang Xue must have been hit by a mistake. The other party didn't want to take responsibility, so they chose to destroy the evidence."
"Officers, you must find the murderer and bring justice to Wang Xue!"
Seeing Jiang Yongxian's agitated state, the police officer said in a serious and cold tone, "We can only determine that Wang Xue's cause of death was being hit by a car."
Whether the car hit her intentionally or unintentionally is still undetermined.
Maybe she was blocking someone's way, so they deliberately wanted her to be hit by a car and killed?
"Officer, you don't suspect me, do you?" Jiang Yongxian blurted out.
The police officer said, "Comrade Jiang Yongxian, you said those words yourself, I didn't."
At that moment, another junior police officer hurriedly walked in.
The young policeman glanced at Jiang Yongxian and said, "Captain Chen, the Jiang family called to ask for him back."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yongxian immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew that He Nian would definitely find a way to get He Zhengguo to save him.
Team Leader Chen looked at Jiang Yongxian with amusement. "Comrade Jiang Yongxian, I forgot to tell you earlier that when we brought you here, Minister He asked us for your investigation materials."
So now, as long as we know your information, Minister He already knows it.
Are you sure you want to go out?
Jiang Yongxian immediately deflated, and there was even some despair in his eyes.
It’s over!
It's all over!
He endured so much humiliation and hardship for so many years, and now it's all over!
Before he could speak again, Captain Chen smiled and said, "It seems Comrade Jiang Yongxian doesn't want to go out."
Go and call Minister He and tell him that it's not that we're unwilling to let Comrade Jiang Yongxian go back, but that Comrade Jiang Yongxian himself doesn't want to go back.
After saying that, Captain Chen instructed, "For Minister He's sake, arrange a better room for Comrade Jiang Yongxian."
Oh, and let his mother share a room with him.
With so much going on in their family lately, the mother and son must have a lot to talk about.
When Jiang Yongxian heard Captain Chen's words, his previously despairing gaze suddenly turned to Captain Chen.
He seemed to understand Captain Chen's hint.
However, when he met Peng Cuiying in his room at the detention center and told her what Captain Chen had implied,
Peng Cuiying looked on in disbelief.
“Heh…heh heh heh…” Then, Peng Cuiying let out a chilling laugh.
As she laughed, tears rolled down her gaunt cheeks. Her eyes, filled with resentment and disappointment, looked at Jiang Yongxian. "Hahaha... Jiang Yongxian, now I understand. You're the biggest ingrate!"
"When your father had that accident, you couldn't wait to cut ties with him."
Later, when Ranran got into trouble, you clearly had the ability to help, but you ignored it and didn't care.
When your third brother is in jail, and you don't need him, you say you can't help him. But when you do need him, you have the ability to get him out and send him to his death.
Now, you still want to use me, your mother, as a scapegoat!
Jiang Yongxian, you ingrate! Are you even human? Do you have a heart?
Peng Cuiying questioned him while wailing and pounding her chest.
Enraged, Jiang Yongxian sneered, "You're right, I'm an ingrate, I'm not human!"
But didn't you teach me all of this?
You taught me that everyone has to look out for themselves, and that I shouldn't be so foolish as to only care about others. Even if my second brother and I were blood brothers, I wouldn't need to help him.
