Chapter 146 Murder in Sleep: Confrontation

"I have evidence. Zhang Taotao wrote me an IOU. At that time, he promised to give me 2,000 yuan in labor fees, but he couldn't afford it, so he said he would owe it first, so I asked him to write an IOU. Later, he kept refusing to pay me back, and I didn't dare to make a big deal about it, after all, I was also an accomplice, but I still kept the IOU, it's in my house."

Fang Rui and his team quickly got the IOU from Wang Pandi's house.

"Now we can finally send Zhang Taotao, this scumbag, to prison!" Xiao Zhang said excitedly.

Fang Rui felt that it was not that easy, and an IOU could not prove that Zhang Taotao was the mastermind.

Zhang Taotao was taken to the interrogation room.

He folded his hands over his chest with an impatient expression, "Comrade police officer, I told you, my sister voluntarily gave me all her property, and she also signed a property transfer agreement. I did not cheat her of her property. Moreover, property disputes are civil cases, and you police officers have no right to intervene. Let Zhang Mingli come to me yourself!"

"We asked you to come here because you are suspected of committing two criminal cases," Fang Rui said.

Zhang Taotao said angrily: "What crime have I committed? What criminal case is this? Police comrade, don't slander good people out of thin air."

"Do you know Wang Pandi?"

Zhang Taotao's expression froze, but he quickly adjusted his expression and said: "Yes, she is my wife's cousin. My wife doesn't get along with her, and they have a grudge against each other."

Fang Rui put the two paternity reports in front of him.

"Comrade police, what do you mean?" Zhang Taotao opened his mouth wide and asked with trembling lips, "Isn't Mingyuan my son? How is this possible? We look so alike. My God, Mingyuan and Mingli were taken away by the wrong person. What do the nurses in the hospital do? They can even make such a mistake."

Xiao Zhang couldn't help but complain in his heart. This Zhang Taotao's acting skills are really good. If they hadn't already obtained evidence of his guilt, they would really have been fooled by him.

"Wang Pandi has confessed that you swapped two children in order to have a son."

Zhang Taotao slammed the table angrily: "Slander, she is slandering me! How could I have the opportunity to swap children? Mingli and Mingyuan are of different genders. Unless the nurse swapped them, how could I possibly swap the police comrade? Wang Pandi is slandering me. She has a bad relationship with her cousin. She is framing me. She is so vicious."

"She has the IOU you wrote in person."

"Yes, I lent her 2,000 yuan. The reason was written on the IOU. I borrowed from her to buy a house. I didn't pay her back because her father and my father-in-law had a financial dispute, and I used the 2,000 yuan to pay it off." Zhang Taotao explained, "My wife's family knows about this, otherwise you can ask them. Wang Pandi must have a grudge against me and deliberately replaced my child."

"Your child was replaced before you wrote the IOU." Fang Rui reminded.

"Ah, I was so angry. Anyway, she deliberately framed me. This woman was just jealous that my family was better off than hers."

A IOU is not enough to prove that Zhang Taotao instructed Wang Pandi to replace the child.

Zhang Taotao is also very clear about this. As long as he insisted that he didn't know, he could put the blame of the child being replaced on the hospital, and then sue the hospital and make it pay him.

Anyway, the police couldn't find evidence that he had replaced the child, because everything was done by Wang Pandi.

Xiao Zhang was angered by his smug smile, "You are also suspected of being involved in a murder case. We suspect that your sister accidentally killed your brother-in-law, and you helped her bury the body."

"Comrade police, even if you want to slander me, you have to be logical. One moment you say I replaced my sister's child, and the next moment you say I helped my sister bury the body. Am I schizophrenic? I replaced my sister's child, so why don't I just put her in jail first? I can also take the opportunity to take my own child to raise. Do you police solve cases by making up stories without telling any evidence?"

Xiao Zhang took out the bagua mirror: "Do you recognize this mirror?"

"We know each other. At that time, my sister asked me to help her make two Bagua mirrors and a peach wood sword, so I asked the master to help her make them. Is there anything wrong with this mirror?" Zhang Taotao took the Bagua mirror, looked at it, and then gently threw it on the table. He raised his head slightly, his expression a little proud.

Xiao Zhang was stunned. He didn't expect that the evidence he finally found could be easily resolved by him.

"Comrade police, can you produce any other evidence? If not, please let me go quickly. I have to go back to cook dinner for my son."

"Your son, didn't you just find out that Zhang Mingyuan is not your son? Why are you still thinking about cooking for him?" Fang Rui mocked.

"The grace of raising is greater than the grace of giving birth. I have raised Mingyuan for so many years. Even if he is not my son, he is now. Mingli is also my daughter now. I will let her recognize her ancestors one day, and I can also fulfill my duties as a father."

Zhang Taotao stood up and looked down at Fang Rui and Xiao Zhang, his eyes full of pride. Everything he designed was so perfect. It would be a pity if there were no witnesses. The police discovered his perfect masterpiece but couldn't do anything to him, which made him feel very accomplished.

What is a perfect crime? This is it!

Next, he will recognize Zhang Mingli, and then he can openly ask Zhang Mingli to hand over all the property to his precious son Mingyuan.

After Zhang Taotao left, Xiao Zhang said angrily: "Is there really nothing we can do with this scumbag? Look how proud he is. I am so angry!"

Fang Rui convened a case analysis meeting.

Although Xiao Zhang and Chen Xue broke up, their attitudes towards Zhang Taotao were quite consistent.

"Wang Pandi has confessed, doesn't this prove that Zhang Taotao is the mastermind?" Chen Xue said angrily.

"According to our investigation, Wang Pandi had a great grudge against Zhang Taotao and his wife, so her confession can only serve as auxiliary evidence. The reason written on the IOU was to borrow money to buy a house, so the IOU cannot be used as evidence."

"The crime happened so long ago, and a lot of evidence is gone. We can't prove that Zhang Taotao was involved in burying the body." Chen Xue sighed.

Everyone fell silent. Zhang Taotao has done so many evil things, can he just get away with it?

"I suspect there are important clues in the memory that Zhang Mingli lost." Fang Rui looked at Lin Sen, "Can you help Zhang Mingli get that memory back?"

"If she has psychogenic amnesia, I can try." Lin Sen paused, "But even if Mingli remembers those things, her confession should not be used as the first line of evidence."

Chen Xue looked at Mu Mian.

Mu Mian was originally slacking off and reading a medical magazine. After feeling Chen Xue's gaze, Mu Mian said, "Don't worry, I will try my best to find evidence, but let me finish reading this page first."

"..."

After the meeting, Mu Mian began to torture the body of the deceased again.

Chen Xue sighed, "We have checked the body several times inside and out, but we didn't find any evidence. Mianmian, we won't let Zhang Taotao get away with it, will we?"

"As long as it's a crime, there will be evidence!" Mu Mian whispered.

The chest of the deceased was poured with tung oil, and after the oil dried, a layer of black and red oil film was formed.

Mu Mian examined the oil film inch by inch.

"What is this?"

Mu Mian picked up a black object with tweezers.

Chen Xue also stared at the tweezers for a while, and then said, "It should have been a bug when it was alive."
