"Jin Wenge recognized Gu Ping'an's attire from that day, so this was one of the reasons why he was murdered."
Captain Xing's voice sounded like sandpaper grinding against a wall.
"It was at the celebration party when he accidentally heard you mention that tightly wrapped man that he realized that Gu Ping'an was not going to perform that day, but to..."
Before he could finish his words, the sound of dragging chains came from next door.
Gu Ping'an's face suddenly pressed against the glass, his nails scratching the metal window frame, making a harsh sound:
"Qin Ying! I was the one who cut the costumes for the performance! Watching you struggling in the storage room, hearing you screaming like crazy for help, I was trembling with joy..."
Qin Ying was startled and stood up suddenly, hitting her lower back hard against the corner of the table.
Captain Xing waved his hand, signaling her not to be nervous.
Xiaocheng stood at the door and looked outside. There were public security comrades standing at the door of each interrogation room.
He withdrew his gaze and stood next to Qin Ying again.
"Because of Gu Ping'an's identity and upbringing, he's been very emotional since arriving here. However, this point about Jin Wenge was made by Qin Meihua."
He had seen countless people and was no longer surprised by this. He turned a deaf ear to Gu Ping'an's roar and continued to talk about Jin Wenge's case.
Qin Ying looked at the file with hesitation on her face. Qin Meihua is here again?
They have been colluding since the very beginning of the Sun Hongmei case.
But there was one thing she didn't understand.
How did Qin Meihua know Sun Hongmei?
Gu Ping'an would never tell her on his own initiative!
She suppressed the doubts in her heart and continued reading.
Zhao Shunxi's confession danced before his eyes, and Captain Xing's heavy voice was in his ears:
"Qin Meihua said that as long as she destroys you, the engagement will be hers, and you can be given to Zhao Shunxi as a bargaining chip, and the Qin family can get a betrothal gift of 500 yuan..."
Her memory suddenly flashed back to the night she came. She heard the subtle sound of the guesthouse door lock being pried open, and she ran out like crazy until she bumped into Fu Hanzhou's warm chest.
And that night, at the critical moment, at the dark alley, Fu Hanzhou's figure rushed in.
It turned out that Zhao Shunxi had come to Yancheng since the college entrance examination. His memory became clearer and clearer. No wonder Qin Meihua did not come back on the day of the college entrance examination. She was fooling around with him.
It turned out that Zhao Shunxi lived near the military compound, so Qin Meihua had the opportunity to know about Gu Ping'an. It turned out that the danger was so close to her.
"So...you knew more than that from the beginning?"
Qin Ying curled her fingers tightly together, as the law of nature is vast and nothing can escape it.
After Zhao Shunxi was arrested, the Public Security Bureau must have conducted multiple investigations. Now, because of Qin Meihua, all the cases are connected.
"I originally wanted to wait until everything was sorted out before telling you, but now it seems that you have the right to know first."
Qin Ying's lips trembled, but she didn't say anything. She just nodded silently, and her hands continued to flip through the files impatiently.
At the bottom of the file was a bag of evidence, and a syringe with the words "Seized after Gu Ping'an confessed his hiding place" on it glowed coldly.
Captain Xing turned to the last page of the transcript and lowered his voice even more:
"When Qin Qinghua was wanted in the reed marsh, he wanted to attack Gu Ping'an, but... "
He pointed to the bloodstains on the reeds in the photo:
"The three motorcycle gangs that came to pick us up have also confessed. Gu Ping'an has been waiting in the reed marsh to silence them."
The rain outside the window was getting heavier. She suddenly looked up and asked Captain Xing:
"Why did Qin Meihua suddenly surrender herself? How could someone as cautious as Gu Ping'an be so willing to surrender?"
Captain Xing was silent for a moment, then took out another file from the drawer:
"Perhaps, they are crazier than you think..."
Qin Qinghua's file!
The life of a desperado is only recorded in these few thin pages.
The files were filled with other people's testimonies, but the one that left the deepest impression on me was the black-and-white photo of the final death in the reed marsh.
Qin Ying's hand holding the confession trembled slightly. He didn't expect that the culprit who made him so cruel was Qin Meihua.
Thunder exploded outside the window, and all the files fluttered in the wind.
Qin Ying stared at the scribbled testimony on Qin Qinghua's file. The twisted handwriting seemed to transform into twisted faces. She felt cold all over, and the hideous grins of those people when they were plotting the conspiracy seemed to echo in her ears.
Her temples were throbbing, and her nails were almost scratching the paper:
"How can these people be so inhumane!"
The heavy rain beat against the window, as if it were an echo of her inner anger.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in, and as the papers fluttered, those memories with Fu Hanzhou's scent came flooding back like a tide. She suddenly realized...
Fu Hanzhou's warmth is hidden in every wrinkle of the paper - the warmth of his palm when he took out 1,500 yuan without hesitation.
It was the sweat on his forehead as he chased the suspect after the exam.
It was the life-or-death situation outside the guesthouse, and the strength with which he protected her behind him.
It was in a dark alley, he shouted anxiously, running towards her through layers of obstacles...
It turns out that in those moments when she thought she was fighting alone, there was always a ray of light trying hard to tear apart the darkness.
Those moments that she ignored had already been woven into a gentle net, holding her firmly from the edge of the abyss.
Outside the storage room, the man who failed to arrive in time was now lying in the hospital waiting for her - it turned out that he had never been absent, but sometimes, the malice of fate came faster than his pace.
After closing the last file, Qin Ying dug her nails deep into her palms.
Leaving the archives room, I followed Captain Xing to the outside of Qin Meihua's interrogation room.
Through the glass, I saw Qin Meihua curled up on an iron chair, her hair hanging in disarray, and purple finger marks on her neck.
"Why?"
Qin Ying stared at her intently, her voice hitting the glass, cold and crisp.
"We grew up together. How have I ever wronged you? Do you really hate me to this extent?"
The original character in the book was persecuted to death, and Qin Meihua played an indispensable role in this, because she did not read to the end and never knew the reason.
The dead silence lasted for a few seconds. Suddenly, Qin Meihua threw her head back and laughed. Her laughter echoed against the cold walls of the interrogation room, carrying the madness of a broken jar:
"Sorry for me? You took everything away from me! You were only fifteen when the Fu family urged you to get married. If I hadn't married you off, our family would have been drowned in spit. In the end, you got the advantage! I should have been the one marrying Fu Hanzhou!"
"The engagement is originally mine, and the Fu family will propose marriage based on my age!"
Qin Ying stared at her bloodshot eyes:
"How come I became the victim after stealing someone else's things?"
This sentence was like a fire that completely ignited Qin Meihua.
She rushed to the glass, her forehead hitting the glass with a dull thud.
"Now that you're in glory, you're trampling on your savior? My parents were arrested, and Jin Wen Pavilion doesn't want me anymore, all because of you!"
"Jinwen Pavilion..."
Qin Ying's pupils suddenly shrank.
The playboy in the flowered shirt in my memory now overlapped with Qin Meihua's cries.
"I just want to force him to marry me!"
