"Did you see it with your own eyes?" Wang Haibo asked Li Mingshan.
"No, it was Yufeng who told me. She said that the doctors were at the scene at the time and they can testify."
Wang Haibo asked the doctors, and they all admitted that Zhang Yufeng did say that it was Xu Nuannuan who pushed her down the stairs.
Wang Haibo said, "The deceased confessed himself, but there were no eyewitnesses. His words can't be used as evidence. Someone must have witnessed Xu Yizhi pushing the deceased down the stairs. Since someone's life is a serious matter, you and Xu Yizhi, come back with me to the Security Department and cooperate with our detailed investigation."
When they called Xu Nuannuan, she immediately denied that she had pushed Zhang Yufeng.
"She came to me early in the morning, her face full of hurt. She hurled a barrage of slanderous comments at me, alleging something was wrong between me and her husband. She even physically assaulted me, even attacking my stomach because I was pregnant. I simply stopped her. She was standing at my door, next to the stairs. To avoid any further arguments, I didn't argue with her and went back inside and locked the door.
She came into my house and slapped and kicked my door, but I didn't leave. I thought if I held back a little longer, she might die. But not long after, I heard her screaming outside. I opened the door and went out, and saw her lying on the stairwell. I didn't push her.
Li Mingshan rushed over angrily and pointed at Xu Nuannuan: "Xu Nuannuan, you're good at making up stories, but you still refuse to admit the truth. You killed my wife, and you're still speaking against your conscience. A life was lost in your hands, don't you feel any pain at all? You're really evil, are you still a heart made of flesh?"
Xu Nuannuan calmly retorted: "I think you are the one crying thief. You are trying your best to shift the blame onto me. It's nothing more than you have something to hide and want to clear yourself of the charges.
I think you beat her too hard yesterday and she suffered a serious brain injury. Today, outside my house, she was unstable because of the head injury and fell down the stairs. Therefore, you are the murderer. "
"I said I didn't hit her. She's my wife, how could I have the heart to hit her? You killed her. Do you think you can get away with it by just talking and making excuses? Xu Nuannuan, you won't have a good ending. The law will definitely punish you."
"You are the one who dares to talk about the law. The law should punish you the most. I don't know how you have the nerve to speak so brazenly."
They each held to their own opinions, accusing the other and defending themselves.
Wang Haibo stopped them from arguing and said to Li Mingshan, "You each have your own version of events. What we're missing now is an eyewitness. If no one saw Xu Xizhi push the body to death, then we can't prove she killed your wife."
Wu Qiuxiang was standing in the crowd. She had been thinking about this all the way when she came. For the sake of her husband's future, she wanted to stand up and identify Xu Nuannuan. But when she looked up at Xu Nuannuan, she had a quick ideological struggle. In the end, she couldn't get over the hurdle of her conscience and retreated.
For the time being, no one can prove that it was Xu Nuannuan who pushed Zhang Yufeng down the stairs personally.
Li Mingshan then argued speciously: "Now no one has seen her push Yufeng, but no one can prove that she didn't push Yufeng."
Xu Nuannuan: "You really are trying to argue even when you're being unreasonable. So, tell me, Zhang Jinfeng has so many old injuries, all of which were sustained yesterday. How do you prove that you didn't hit her yesterday?"
"I."
Only when the blame fell on him did Li Mingshan realize that it was not easy to bear.
"I can't prove this. How can I prove this?"
"So, do I need someone to prove that I didn't push her down the stairs? If you want someone to prove that I didn't push her down the stairs first, then prove that you didn't hit her yesterday."
Seeing that the argument was about to continue, Wang Haibo urged them to go to the Security Department to take a statement.
Xu Nuannuan wasn't afraid: "It's okay, I haven't done anything wrong, I'm not afraid of anything."
Zhang Yufeng's body was temporarily placed in the hospital morgue. Xu Nuannuan and Li Mingshan followed her to the security department.
Li Xiulian was worried about Xu Nuannuan: "Nuannuan, let me stay with you."
"Okay, sister-in-law, thank you."
Qin Hongying wanted to go and see the excitement. In fact, such an incident had not happened in the military region for a long time. She was very curious about how Zhang Yufeng died and whether it was Xu Nuannuan who pushed her.
Wu Qiuxiang also followed. She came to watch the fun, and also to observe the situation before considering whether to give false testimony.
The group came to the security department, and Xu Nuannuan told them everything about how Zhang Yufeng came to find her this morning and how she fell down the stairs. The security soldiers took careful notes.
Xu Nuannuan: "She said before that I seduced her husband. I was really confused, but her husband has a very bad reputation. He always likes to stare at other women, and he has also stared at me. When the leader found out about this, he kicked them out of the family compound.
But I don't know why Zhang Yufeng insisted that I seduced her husband? When my husband and I first came to the military region, we invited Li Mingshan and several other comrades to dinner at my house. The meal was normal, and I never had any contact with Li Mingshan again after that.
But why did Zhang Yufeng keep pestering her? Was there someone instigating her from behind, or was Zhang Yufeng just suspicious?
If someone instigated her, Xu Nuannuan would have to think about Qin Wushuang.
Qin Wushuang and Li Mingshan are cousins. Last time Zhang Yufeng reported that she had a space incident, it was Qin Wushuang who told Zhang Yufeng.
Qin Wushuang always hoped that something would happen to her. She was so lucky that she couldn't do it herself, so she would find a mucang user.
I wonder how Zhang Yufeng would feel if she knew that she was being used by someone else.
Before they left the security department, Li Chunhua came over and anxiously asked Li Mingshan, "Mingshan, what happened? I heard something happened to Yufeng. How could she suddenly die? Oh, Mingshan, how are you going to live with your three children from now on?"
When Li Mingshan saw Li Chunhua, he became dramatic and started crying again.
"Auntie, Yufeng had a miserable life. She was pushed down the stairs by Captain Jiang's wife and hit her head and died."
Xu Nuannuan: "Which eye of yours saw me push her? You keep saying this without any solid evidence. You are slandering the families of soldiers, and you must bear the responsibility."
