Feng Yuan, who was taking notes, raised his head and found that Song Chi had really deduced it.
But he quickly lowered his head, thinking out of sight, out of mind. He really couldn't bear to see the teacup crumbs scattered all over the floor.
Song Chi pretended to be surprised. "Ah, didn't your third brother Sun Jian die in a woman's belly? How could he have been killed by Wang Bao?"
"It was Wang Bao who killed him."
Sun Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "I was there when the third brother was killed. I watched him do it."
"Why are you there?"
Song Chi knew that he had guessed correctly, but he didn't expect that there was such an inside story. "Could it be that you knew about it beforehand? Are you an accomplice?"
"Of course I didn't know. How could I harm my third brother?"
Sun Cheng hurriedly explained, "That day, I invited my third brother to drink at Osmanthus Tower. He seemed to have...had a conflict with Young Master Han, and Wang Bao asked me to mediate, so I invited my third brother to Osmanthus Tower. He seemed angry and started complaining after a few drinks."
"Do you remember what he said?" Song Chi knew this was the key.
He already knew some things from Madam Su, and after interrogating her from Sun Cheng, he was able to know the whole story.
"He probably did a lot of things but got very little in return. This time, the arrival of a big shot is an opportunity. Oh, and he also said he wants a lot of money, so Young Master Han couldn't refuse..."
Feng Yuan raised his head. This sentence contained a lot of information. The incident happened when the female commander's homecoming banquet was being held. The big man Sun Jian mentioned could only be the prime minister Song Shiwen.
"Do you remember it clearly?"
"Of course I know."
Sun Cheng said, "I tried to persuade him not to disobey Young Master Han. We, the Sun family, have prospered thanks to the Han family. The third brother was very dissatisfied at the time. He said that he would also control the Han family... Just when he was getting excited, Wang Bao showed up. He told the third brother to kneel down and kowtow to Young Master Han and beg for forgiveness. His words were very unpleasant..."
"It probably means that you are a dog and you dare to bark at your master."
"The third brother was very dissatisfied, and the two of them started arguing."
Sun Cheng paused and continued, "During this time, Wang Bao asked me to go out for a while. He had something to talk to the third brother alone, so I listened to him and went out."
"I'm not stupid. I know the third daughter has a special relationship with them. Our Sun family relies on the second daughter and the third daughter. I'm a loser. If the third daughter doesn't tell me, I won't ask. I just want to have money to spend."
"But...I regret it now."
Sun Cheng's mood suddenly fell. "I shouldn't have gone out that day. If I hadn't gone out, maybe the third brother wouldn't have died... Not long after I went out, I heard strange noises in the room. I pushed the door open and saw Wang Bao strangling the third brother's neck. The third brother struggled desperately but to no avail. I rushed over but was kicked away. A short while later, the third brother died."
He suddenly held his head.
Sun Cheng must have been sad to see his brother die in front of him, at least he was sad at that time.
"I later thought about it and realized that Wang Bao had let me see this on purpose. He wanted me to know how the third brother died so that I, as the eldest brother, wouldn't pursue the matter. And since I was there to clean up the mess for the third brother, no one would bother to find out how he died."
Song Chi asked, "Why did Wang Bao let you see it, and what did he say afterwards?"
“He wanted to make me his own.”
Sun Cheng continued, "He said that the third brother is not very obedient now, so he needs to choose someone new. It can only be me. When the third brother dies, I can completely take over the Sun family. All the family wealth will be mine, and Su..."
"And Madam Su is yours too." Song Chi asked, "You are the eldest brother, and you have always been thinking about your brother's wife. Don't you feel sorry for Sun Jian?"
"He is the one who wronged Madam Su!"
Sun Cheng suddenly became excited. "I've had my eye on Madam Su for a long time, even before she married into the Sun family. But I disdain to use those bandit tactics. I believe that relationships should be consensual. Forced marriages are not sweet. I didn't even have the chance to make a move, but the third brother got there first."
"He brought people to forcibly take Su Mingyue back."
"I endured it!"
Sun Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "I know it's impossible for the two of us. She never liked me in the first place, and it was not bad for her to be with the third brother. But I didn't expect that he would ignore her after marrying the third brother. He doesn't come home all day, or he comes home drunk. I know he is doing business and making money, but is money more important than the woman he loves?"
When he got excited, he even slammed the table and stood up.
This interrogation had seriously gone off topic, but Song Chi still wanted to listen. He didn't expect that Boss Sun was such a romantic man.
"My biggest flaw is my soft heart, especially towards women. I thought that if the third brother died, wouldn't Madam Su be free from suffering? So..."
Song Chi asked tentatively, "The reason you agreed to Wang Bao not to pursue the matter further was because of Madam Su?"
"Yeah, at least Madam Su is first in line."
Sun Cheng said, "So I pretended not to see anything and listened to Wang Bao fabricate a rumor about him dying in a woman's belly. Wang Bao was the head of the police, so he said that this person died in the same way. What's more, I, as the eldest brother, could testify. So my third brother died in such an unclear way."
"I don't quite understand why Wang Bao wanted to kill him, but I know it was premeditated. It must have been because the Third Brother had a conflict with Han Shao. But there's no evidence, and my few words alone are useless. You all know what happened next..."
Song Chi nodded.
Next, Sun Cheng was thinking about taking charge of the Sun family and starting a shameless life with his sister-in-law. However, he did not expect that Su Mingyue had always had a vengeful heart towards the Sun family. She was also a bold woman. She wanted to take possession of Sun Jian's property after his death, and then she sued Boss Sun to the county government.
"I didn't expect Su Mingyue to be so heartless. I've been so tolerant of her. If I hadn't been so tolerant of her, she wouldn't even have had the chance to seek you as her lawyer, and naturally, there wouldn't have been so many things that happened later."
Sun Cheng was telling the truth. Su Mingyue was just a helpless woman. How could she fight against the Sun family alone? It was indeed Sun Cheng's indulgence that led to the current result.
Everything is the best arrangement.
If he had not met Su Mingyue at the county government office that day, there would not have been any subsequent events.
"I've told you everything I know. You must save my life." Sun Cheng sat down again. Now he felt much more at ease.
"It's not difficult to save your life."
Song Chi said calmly: "As long as Wang Bao is dead, no one will murder you."
"Yes, he wanted to kill me to silence me. As long as I died, no one would know the truth about his murder of my third brother."
At this time, Feng Yuan took the record and the brush and seal box and placed them in front of Sun Cheng. He quickly moved away and turned his head away and said, "Sign and seal."
Song Chi died of laughter. It must be very uncomfortable to see the teacup fragments all over the floor.
Then he stood up as well. "As the county police chief, he's a murderer. He's breaking the law knowingly, and his crime is even more serious. Wang Bao is finished!"
