Chapter 3 The Storm is Coming (Part 3)
Gao Bochuan is the criminal policeman with the highest crime-solving rate in the entire Greater Southeast District of Yun City. His methods are always swift and resolute. After a series of screening and investigation, he locked in two suspects in just two days.
One is the lover of the deceased Li Xiaochun, Chen Yong, chairman of Lingchen Jewelry, and the other is his original wife Ye Menglan.
Xia Beibei followed Gao Bochuan into the interrogation room, and the first person to be interrogated was Chen Yong.
Gao Bochuan asked questions and Xia Beibei took notes. Gao Bochuan first asked Chen Yong some basic questions. Chen Yong looked very sad when he heard that his lover Li Xiaochun had died. When answering questions, he kept covering his eyes with his hands and his voice was obviously choked.
"My name is Chen Yong, I'm 45 years old, and I'm the chairman of Lingchen Jewelry."
Gao Bochuan asked him how he knew the deceased Li Xiaochun, when was the last time he saw Li Xiaochun, and where he was at the time of Li Xiaochun's death.
Chen Yong thought for a while before answering. He said that he went to buy a house and was received by Li Xiaochun. In order to get him to pay, Li Xiaochun tried every means to seduce him when they were viewing the house. He said that as a man, if something is offered to you, you will take it. It was just a house, but he could buy several with just one stock.
He said that Li Xiaochun kept contacting him afterwards. He knew that Li Xiaochun was just after his money, which didn't matter. He was just after her body. They both had their own agenda, so their relationship was very pleasant.
He said that on the day Li Xiaochun died, he was on a business trip in Lin City. Gao Bochuan asked him if there were any witnesses to the time. He said yes, he was on his way to Lin City for a meeting, and many people could testify to that.
Gao Bochuan asked him if he had any conflicts with Li Xiaochun recently. He hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said no. Gao Bochuan turned to look at Xia Beibei. Xia Beibei looked up at Chen Yong, casually turning the pen in her hand.
"You're lying. Li Xiaochun once asked you to divorce her for her, but you didn't want to. She had a big fight with you and you got very angry. You had a big argument."
Chen Yong was stunned and looked at her in disbelief, but he quickly concealed his shock and panic. He denied it and said it was nothing. Xia Beibei's pen was spinning very fast, as if the pen was growing on her hand and would not fall off no matter how she spun it.
She looked into Chen Yong's eyes and said, "What you are thinking now is that only the two of you knew about the quarrel between you and Li Xiaochun. Now that Li Xiaochun is dead, it is impossible for anyone else to know. Do you think I am lying to you and deliberately trying to trick you?"
Chen Yong was completely shocked. He opened his mouth with a look of horror. Xia Beibei stopped spinning the pen with a smile, revealing two rows of big white teeth, and said mysteriously:
"Don't doubt it, I can hear what you are thinking. The quarrel between you and Li Xiaochun was just what you were thinking in your mind just now, and I heard it."
Chen Yong was so frightened by her sharp and bright eyes that he almost fell off the stool. Yes, when Gao Bochuan asked him if he had any conflicts, he was indeed thinking about the quarrel between them.
“You…you…”
Chen Yong was so frightened that he could not speak. Gao Bochuan glanced at Xia Beibei lightly, and Xia Beibei immediately became obedient. She grinned at Chen Yong again, hinting at something:
“I study criminal psychology.”
The underlying meaning is, I studied psychology, so I can see through your mind. Chen Yong accepted this explanation, but did not dare to look at Xia Beibei again.
Gao Bochuan asked him why he lied. He said that he didn't kill Li Xiaochun anyway, and he felt that if he said too much, he would arouse suspicion. After all, the two had a big fight the day before Li Xiaochun's death.
Gao Bochuan asked him whether his wife Ye Menglan knew about Li Xiaochun's existence. Chen Yong's face turned ugly and he talked more, even seeming to be hesitant to speak.
"Of course she knew. She has always been very suspicious. She would check my clothes and mobile phone every day. As long as there was the slightest smell or trace of a woman's perfume, she would treat me as a criminal like Sherlock Holmes. I thought Li Xiaochun was very obedient, but I didn't expect that she would answer the call from my wife behind my back, and then she was exposed."
As Chen Yong spoke, he lifted up his sleeves, revealing an arm covered with scars. Only then did Xia Beibei understand why he wore long sleeves in such a hot day.
When Xia Beibei saw the scar on Chen Yong's arm, she turned her head and looked at Gao Bochuan, with a sharp light flashing in her eyes.
"You see, Ye Menglan is a pervert. Every time she doubts me, she will burn me with cigarette butts. Look, both of my arms are burned by her. She said that every time she burns me, it means that I bring shame to her. Tell me, is she a psychopath?"
The scars on Chen Yong's arm are exactly the same as those on Li Xiaochun's arm. It is obvious that both were burned by cigarette butts. Therefore, Li Xiaochun's death has a lot to do with Ye Menglan.
Seeing Gao Bochuan and Xia Beibei staring at his arm, Chen Yong rolled his eyes and added another sentence.
"Two officers, although Ye Menglan is my wife, I still have to say something. I gave Li Xiaochun a lot of jewelry before. Ye Menglan didn't react much after knowing it, because jewelry is everywhere in our house. But when she knew that I gave Li Xiaochun a lot of expensive clothes and cosmetics, she reacted very strongly."
"She said I had never given her these things before. She was very excited and said that day that she would definitely kill Li Xiaochun. She said those things belonged to her. I don't know if this counts as evidence, but I feel that it is necessary to tell you everything I know."
"The night before Li Xiaochun died, I was on a business trip. Before leaving, Ye Menglan said something very strange. She said that when I came back, there would be no one to hinder us."
Finally, Chen Yong asked Gao Bochuan with a sad face whether Li Xiaochun's lower abdomen was scratched. Gao Bochuan said yes, and he cried even louder.
"What a sin, officer! Li Xiaochun is actually pregnant with my child. Ye Menglan said she would kill them. I didn't expect that she would be so cruel that she wouldn't even let the child go."
After Chen Yong was taken away, Gao Bochuan asked Xia Beibei what she thought. Xia Beibei put down her pen and handed him the transcript she had just made.
"Chen Yong's words may sound insignificant, but his every move tells us that his wife Ye Menglan is the murderer. If we had told him just now that we also think his wife is the murderer, he would have spared no effort to actively provide us with clues."
Gao Bochuan asked her if she doubted what Chen Yong said, and Xia Beibei shook her head.
"What he said should be true, but he was too anxious. He was so eager to let the police point the finger at his wife. I think it's very strange. Moreover, his words are completely consistent with the doubts I guessed at Li Xiaochun's house. Don't you think it's strange?"
It felt as if Chen Yong had heard her doubts at the scene today, so he came to answer them. The scars on his arms and the jewelry and cosmetics he mentioned seemed to be specifically answering their questions.
"Besides, how did he know that there would be scratches on Li Xiaochun's lower abdomen? He had never seen the body, so how did he know that Ye Menglan would mutilate Li Xiaochun's lower abdomen? If Ye Menglan hated that child, why did she stab the dagger in the chest instead of the lower abdomen?"
"Boss, do you know what he was thinking when he left just now? He was actually happy. He said that Li Xiaochun was finally dead and his troubles were finally solved. He said that he would be completely liberated once his wife was arrested. He was thanking the murderer for solving two problems for him at once. This man is really disgusting, born in a garbage dump."
Xia Beibei sneered at Chen Yong and muttered sarcastically. Just as she was cursing him, someone suddenly turned the stool around and she saw Gao Bochuan's handsome face that suddenly came closer. She swallowed subconsciously.
"Boss, what...what happened?"
