"That's not how it is, that's not how it is, that's not what you think, don't talk nonsense!"
Hearing Zheng Jiabao's words, Widow Zheng, who was standing nearby, was also frightened and hurriedly tried to explain.
Zheng Jiabao smiled at her and comforted her, "Mom, don't worry, I'm telling the truth. Although I hate her, I never intended to kill her."
I know murder is illegal. I'm still young, and I don't want to ruin myself because of someone like that. I will live a good life, find a good job in the future, and make her envious of me, envious of my mother! That's the greatest revenge I can give her!
Su He looked at him in surprise, not expecting that this 15-year-old boy could say such a thing.
He nodded and then left.
After they came out, they went to other people's houses in the neighborhood to ask about their opinions of Hu Meiling and their guesses about the murderer, and then returned to the police station.
Not long after they sat down, Qi Yang and the others returned.
So everyone sat down together for a meeting again.
Hu Xing sorted through today's inquiry records and said, "These neighbors' opinions of Hu Meiling are really polarized. There are quite a few people who say good things about her, and quite a few who say bad things about her."
Su He nodded. "Indeed, I learned something today. When Hu Meiling was young, she worked as a maid in a wealthy family and learned to read and write from the young lady. In that era, she was considered a rare intellectual."
So she has a good temperament, which is why people have a good opinion of her, and it's also normal that she can attract so many people to like her.
It's understandable to criticize her; she's certainly quite shrewd. Apparently, no matter what people say about her, she never argues. But as soon as she shows a wronged expression, someone will stand up for her. She's truly a master!
Hu Xing nodded in agreement.
"But none of the three suspects I met today look like the murderer!"
Qi Yang was surprised. "Oh? What do you mean?"
Hu Xing continued, "This Aunt Wang seems very timid, and what she said was very sincere and reasonable, so it shouldn't be her."
Regardless of whether Old Mrs. Li is old enough to have the strength to kill someone, I feel that what she said makes sense. Her son is in this state now, so she wouldn't kill someone for his sake, right?
And Zheng Jiabao, he is indeed the most suspicious, and coincidentally he had the opportunity to commit the crime, but I don't know why, he just doesn't seem like the right person.
Su He didn't offer an opinion upon hearing this, but instead looked at the others and asked, "What do you think?"
Qi Yang and his team reviewed their investigation records from today.
"Since there is no evidence, anything is possible. We also need to find out about the classmates who drank with Zheng Jiabao to see if he is lying."
Su He nodded after hearing this, and then asked, "Did you find anything from your investigation over there today?"
Jiao Weimin said, "It's not much different from what Captain Yu and the others found out. Aunt Jin and Hu Meiling are friends. They often go to the black market together. I haven't heard of any grudges between them."
As for the butcher on the black market, his parents both work at a slaughterhouse, so he can indeed get some scraps of meat.
It is said that he is getting married soon, and his in-laws are asking for a lot of dowry. So, seeing how generous Hu Meiling and her family are, he secretly went to the slaughterhouse to get some more meat to sell to them.
He didn't know any of the people before, and he went home after selling the meat. Aside from the fact that secretly taking meat from the slaughterhouse to sell is illegal, there was nothing unusual about it.
