These were the first time the police officers, who had handled a lot of cases, had encountered such a situation.
The husband was stunned and refused to accept that his wife had died.
The other man, on the other hand, was determined to die and was forced to be buried alive with the deceased.
Two policemen stopped Cheng Xuelin, who then made a huge fuss and lost his strength, eventually collapsing to the ground.
The captain sighed. "It's getting dark. If you won't let us touch the dead, are you expecting us to let her spend the night here?"
Seeing that Jiang Qingyuan remained unmoved, the captain continued to persuade him, "The person is already dead, we should let the deceased rest in peace."
Jiang Qingyuan suddenly shouted, "She's not dead! My wife is not dead!"
The captain was quite helpless. How was he supposed to talk to them?
One or two of them are people who have lost their minds.
Pei Wang also went out to look for Pei Zhi, but after searching around, he couldn't find her. As it turned out, Cheng Xuelin and Jiang Qingyuan hadn't returned either.
Pei Wang had a bad feeling, so he pulled his older brother and sister-in-law out to look for them.
On the way, I heard someone say that a woman had fallen from a building and that two men were acting like madmen.
Pei Wang told himself, "No, no, this can't be Pei Zhi."
Pei Wang still asked for the address and quickly ran over.
The elder brother and sister-in-law were also somewhat worried, so they came to the scene together.
There were still quite a few people at the scene. Pei Wang looked at Jiang Qingyuan, who had a blank expression.
Not far away, Cheng Xuelin was sitting on the ground. Pei Wang subconsciously took two steps back.
Who else but Pei Zhi could elicit such a reaction from them?
Pei Wang shook his head frantically: "Impossible, absolutely impossible."
It's absolutely impossible that Pei Zhi got into trouble.
In the morning, he had breakfast with Pei Zhi and they chatted about how well the factory's business had been lately.
Pei Wang also said that he received a lot of dividends this month, and he hasn't spent much money lately.
Thinking that if I save the money until the New Year, I should be able to buy Pei Zhi a car.
Pei Wang kept saying it was impossible as he walked toward where Pei Zhi was lying.
The police stopped them: "Who are you?"
Pei Wang was trembling all over. "I am Pei Zhi's brother."
"You are a relative of the deceased, come and confirm."
"Dead? What dead?" Pei Wang shouted immediately. "My sister was perfectly fine when she went out, how could she be dead now?"
Brother Pei pulled Pei Wang aside and said in a deep voice, "Let's take a look first. I doubt this is Pei Zhi."
"Yes, yes." Pei Wang seemed to have grasped a lifeline. He squatted down and lifted his clothes with trembling hands.
Upon seeing Pei Zhi's deathly pale face, Pei Wang knelt down completely.
Pei Wang cried to her older brother like a child, "Brother, it's Zhizhi, it really is Zhizhi!"
Sister-in-law Pei never expected that her sister-in-law, who had been sweetly asking for dumplings today, would now be lying motionless in a pool of blood.
Brother Pei was also deeply shocked and collapsed to the ground.
"Zhizhi, it's your brother. Wake up, don't scare me."
Pei Wang held Pei Zhi's hand and shouted desperately.
Pei Zhi's hands were already cold, and Pei Wang felt a chill that was terrifying.
Pei Wang wailed, "Zhizhi, stop joking with me!"
Jiang Qingyuan walked over, pulled Pei Wang up, and said in a cool tone, "Second brother, Zhizhi is still at home, what are you shouting for here?"
Pei Wang looked at Jiang Qingyuan with teary eyes, then at the person on the ground, and said, "Yes."
Pei Wang nodded vigorously, "Zhizhi is definitely at home. She's waiting for us. This isn't Zhizhi."
Seeing the two of them like this, Sister-in-law Pei cried even harder.
No one wanted to believe that Pei Zhi had really had an accident, but the fact remained that Pei Zhi was lying there.
Brother Pei asked, "What happened to my sister? How did she fall from the roof?"
The captain breathed a sigh of relief when he finally saw that there was someone normal.
"We're going to take the deceased back to the station now. You'll come with us so we can go over what happened."
The captain pointed at Jiang Qingyuan, "The deceased's husband won't let us do it."
Brother Pei gritted his teeth, "No matter what, I know exactly how my sister died."
The police tried to move Pei Zhi, but Jiang Qingyuan wouldn't allow it, and Pei's older brother went up to stop them.
Brother Pei roared, "Pei Zhi is already dead! Are you going to let her die without any explanation?"
Jiang Qingyuan's eyes were vacant, and in the end, he could only take two steps back.
After some trouble, we arrived at the police station.
The police witnessed firsthand how Pei Zhi fell.
Cheng Xuelin was also present, serving as a witness.
The police gave a detailed account of what happened.
After hearing this, Brother Pei frowned. "So, my sister was tied up on the roof by Cheng's mother."
"When Cheng's mother tried to jump off the building, my sister stopped her, and then it was my sister who fell?"
After Brother Pei finished speaking, he burst into laughter, "This is too absurd. How could my sister be so stupid? This is absolutely impossible."
"You must have seen it wrong."
Several police officers sighed helplessly, "Cheng Xuelin was also a witness; what he saw should be the same as what we saw."
Cheng Xuelin, who was singled out, sat blankly in his chair, clearly indicating that asking him wouldn't make any difference.
Pei Wang suddenly erupted, "It's all because of him. If it weren't for him, my sister wouldn't have died."
As Pei Wang spoke, he raised his fist at Cheng Xuelin.
Cheng Xuelin didn't struggle at all, letting Pei Wang punch him in the face.
The police rushed to separate the enraged Pei Wang and the stagnant Cheng Xuelin.
Pei Wang shouted angrily, "Don't stop me! I'm going to kill him to pay for my sister's life!"
Cheng Xuelin also struggled violently: "Let me go, let me die, I want to go find her."
The captain slammed his hand on the table. "Grab them."
The captain walked up to Pei Wang and said, "The one who did something wrong is Cheng Xuelin's mother."
“But before you arrived, Cheng Xuelin was about to jump off a building, and it was my colleague who caught him.”
Pei Wang angrily said, "He deserves it! Why are you stopping him? He should just die."
The captain questioned, "Just because he's dead, does that mean your sister can come back?"
"You must understand that Pei Zhi died because she was saving someone, not because someone pushed her down."
"Do you think someone like that would want to be buried with her after she dies?"
Brother Pei asked, "Then, officer, is my sister's death just a waste of time? Is no one going to be punished?"
The captain confirmed, "Of course not. Pei Zhi was tied up on the rooftop. That's kidnapping, which is illegal."
The problem is, how to define Pei Zhi's death is a bit complicated.
Cheng's mother didn't push Pei Zhi; she wanted to jump herself, but Pei Zhi stopped her, so Pei Zhi fell.
The charge of intentional homicide is definitely not valid.
Manslaughter is also not established.
In the end, Cheng's mother only wanted to end her own life and didn't intend to kill Pei Zhi.
