"The murderer is currently in the interrogation room. He keeps insisting that he killed Wang Jiujiu," Han Zhi explained to Jiang Yuan as he led her in.
“Logically, the case should be closed once the murderer confesses, but…” Han Zhi continued, pausing at the end.
"This morning, he also used Wang Jiujiu's phone to report the case, which allowed the police to quickly locate and arrive at Wang Jiujiu's house."
“But the murderer wasn’t in Wang Jiujiu’s apartment at the time. If he really wanted to turn himself in, he should have been waiting for us to arrive so we could catch him red-handed. But he disappeared during that period.”
"Just as the police had finished compiling the information and sorting out the clues and were preparing to investigate, he suddenly appeared at the police station and said that he had killed the person."
“At first we didn’t believe it either, but he was able to accurately state the time and method of Wang Jiujiu’s murder, and there was also… video evidence.”
"His account was so detailed, and there's video evidence, that it proves he wasn't lying. He is the murderer who tortured and killed Wang Jiujiu."
"But there's another strange point, which is... the apartment's security cameras suddenly malfunctioned last night, just when he sneaked into the apartment."
Han Zhi briefly explained the situation to Jiang Yuan and also mentioned the points that puzzled him.
If it wasn't caused by human error, then the timing of the surveillance system malfunctioning is too coincidental.
If it was done intentionally, why would he destroy the surveillance footage if he wanted to turn himself in?
It's too perfect, but some parts contradict his current actions.
They had already investigated the killer's identity when he surrendered.
The murderer's name is Fan Wen, he is 32 years old this year. His parents used to be the bosses of a company, and the company was doing very well at that time.
Fan Wen was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and he also had a younger sister.
But when he was twenty-six, his family suffered an accident. His mother was in a car accident and his father suddenly had a stroke. He was not good at managing a company, and after his parents fell ill, all the shares he held were divided up by the directors.
Not long after that, Fan Wen's younger sister committed suicide at school, jumping from the twelfth floor and shattering to pieces.
His father also passed away shortly after that.
He was the only one left in the Fan family.
I heard that Fan Wen had a girlfriend at that time, but she resolutely left him after he went bankrupt.
Afterwards, Fan Wen sold off his family's valuables and real estate, and disappeared with the money.
Then, about a year ago, Fan Wen returned to H City.
Unlike before, he was no longer full of vigor and ambition, but lived in a dilapidated old room and made a living by doing odd jobs.
No one knows where he went or what he did during the five years he disappeared.
"This is the information on the murderer." Han Zhi handed the information he had gathered to Jiang Yuan.
In her eyes, Jiang Yuan was already practically a member of the police station.
Not to mention showing her Fan Wen's information, she would even find a way to help her see the police station's files if she wanted to.
Jiang Yuan took the documents from Han Zhi, glanced at them, and then looked up, "Could I see him?"
"Of course!" Han Zhi replied without hesitation.
She knew that Jiang Yuan was skilled at reading faces, so she asked her to look at Fan Wen's face; perhaps she could figure something out.
The interrogation room door slowly opened, revealing a dimly lit interior unlike the bright exterior.
Stepping inside, one feels a sense of confinement and oppression.
Han Zhi greeted his colleagues who were guarding the interrogation room. The colleagues glanced at Jiang Yuan and then followed Han Zhi away.
Jiang Yuan looked up, glanced at the camera in the corner that was slowly turning to her side, and then looked at the man in front of her.
The man was only thirty-two years old, but he looked weathered, like someone in their forties or fifties, and he appeared unkempt.
His cheeks were sunken, his temples were sunken, his eyebrows were tightly joined together, his eyes were of different sizes and heights, and his face was so thin that it looked as if something had drained his life force.
Just by looking at him, you can tell he's someone who's ambitious but lacks practical skills and has a fiery temper.
They act impulsively, are easily swayed by others, and are easily angered.
Such people are often not very bright and lack critical thinking skills.
As for the thinning of the cheeks...
Jiang Yuan sighed softly.
This is a complete drug addict.
The surveillance cameras in the interrogation room not only show images but also provide audio.
Han Zhi and Zhao Yong, who were watching the monitor, naturally heard Jiang Yuan sigh.
"Why is Master Jiang sighing like this? Is this matter very difficult? Or did she see something?" Zhao Yong looked at Han Zhi and asked, puzzled.
If you were to ask who in the entire police station knows Jiang Yuan best, it would be Han Zhi.
"I don't know. We'll only know what happened after Xiaoyuan comes out," Han Zhi replied, shaking his head while keeping his eyes glued to the monitor.
Inside the interrogation room, Jiang Yuan pulled out a chair and sat down in front of Fan Wen.
Fan Wen, who was yawning and sleeping, slowly opened his sleepy eyes when he heard the sound of the chair scraping against the ground.
When he saw Jiang Yuan, a hint of surprise flashed across his dull eyes.
Clearly, he knew Jiang Yuan and was familiar with her.
Unexpectedly, the police invited Jiang Yuan over.
“I have already confessed and handed over the video of me killing someone. Why did those idiots not only not convict me, but also invite you here?” Fan asked, his eyes filled with disdain, but his fingers were fidgeting, as if he was feeling a little guilty.
"It's good that you've been invited here. Just tell them directly that I killed Wang Jiujiu," Fan Wen said, feigning composure, but his gaze was sharp.
His words implied a clear urging to quickly convict him.
"You killed Wang Jiujiu," Jiang Yuan said calmly, her thin lips barely moving.
Fan Wen chuckled, looked up at the surveillance camera facing him, and said, "Did you hear that? Master Jiang said that I killed Wang Jiujiu, I fucking killed him!"
"She seduced my father, killed my mother, bullied my sister, and ruined my family! So I killed her!" Fan Wen said, his eyes bloodshot and his emotions suddenly becoming agitated.
Jiang Yuan remained calm and composed despite his excited expression.
Fan's question stunned everyone watching the surveillance footage.
He bullied his sister; this can be seen from the video evidence he provided himself.
His sister was also one of those bullied by Wang Jiujiu, and ultimately committed suicide because of the bullying.
But what about seducing his father and causing his mother's death?
Didn't his mother die in a car accident? What does that have to do with Wang Jiujiu?
Or perhaps they missed something during their investigation.
"Wang Jiujiu bullying your sister, didn't you condone it?" Jiang Yuan asked, her dark eyes reflecting Fan Wen's furious and malevolent expression.
Fan Wen's expression shifted, and his sharp eyes suddenly turned as sharp as knives.
If looks could kill, Jiang Yuan would probably be dead by now.
Han Zhi and the others froze, their eyes glued to the screen, holding their breath.
Jiang Yuan said that Wang Jiujiu bullied Fan Min, and Fan Wen tacitly approved of it?
If that's the case, then what is Fan Wen getting angry and resentful about?
If he truly condoned it, then he was in the know, and what difference would there be between him and Wang Jiujiu, who bullied Fan Min?
