Tang Shouren breathed a long sigh of relief: "I thought that my mother might be the last one to want to leave in exchange for peace."
"Of course I'm worried that if you continue the investigation and find out about my mother's past, everyone will know about it in the end."
He said helplessly: "Now, I know everything."
"Since the mother did not do it willingly, let's find out who did it."
Tang Shouren shouted excitedly: "That young man must have done it."
"He must have hated our family very much. First, my mother abandoned his mother, and then his brother died indirectly because of Jiaojiao."
Zhou Zhimo signaled him not to get excited: "We will investigate clearly."
"Yang Chenxi's whereabouts that day have been investigated clearly."
"The possibility of him committing the crime can be ruled out. There is no time to commit the crime."
Tang Shouren said unwillingly, "He can find someone else."
Zhou Zhimo nodded: "Well, we will continue to investigate."
"You should go back and wait for news."
In the afternoon, several groups of people responsible for investigating Wang Xuechan came back one after another.
Before getting off work, in the conference room, everyone reported on the situation at hand.
Xiaobai said: "I went to the unit cleaning department and found Wang Xuechan's discarded waste paper. The fingerprints extracted on it and the fingerprints on the buttons were compared successfully."
Xiao Qi said: "The surveillance was detailed, and surveillance videos from other places along the way that day were retrieved."
"You can clearly see that the button is on Wang Xuechan's clothes."
"When she left, the buttons were still there, but on the way back, one button was missing."
"Moreover, that dress is custom-made, and the buttons are rarely used, so it is difficult to have the same style."
Fan Xin said: "I asked people who are familiar with them and found out that the relationship between Wang Xuechan and her mother-in-law Liu Yuqin is neither bad nor excellent."
"Wang Xuechan is a little afraid of Liu Yuqin."
"Her family background is very poor. Until now, the Tang family has helped a lot after her marriage."
After Zhou Zhimo listened to everyone's reports, all the clues pointed to Wang Xuechan.
He frowned slightly: "Based on this alone, it is difficult to determine Wang Xuechan's motive for committing the crime."
Zhou Zhimo still ordered: "Now that there is evidence, keep an eye on Wang Xuechan and look for an opportunity to bring her back."
After get off work, Zhou Zhimo went to find Tang Jiaojiao in person.
He found Tang Jiaojiao and saw her curled up on the sofa in a depressed state due to the sudden death of her grandmother.
Zhou Zhimo asked her: "Is there anything different about your grandma before she passed away?"
Tang Jiaojiao hugged her knees, huddled up, and whispered: "In those days, grandma rarely spoke and even moved directly to the old yard."
“I haven’t gone back to live there for a long time.”
Zhou Zhimo asked: "Then do you know what happened?"
Tang Jiaojiao shook her head gently: "I don't know, they didn't tell me anything."
Zhou Zhimo asked her again: "Did your mother have any abnormal behavior during this time?"
Tang Jiaojiao didn't even raise her head: "Like grandma, she seldom talks."
"Ever since Yang Chenlin's accident happened last time, my mother has been acting a little weird."
"Soon after, grandma was no longer at home, and my mother would often be in a daze, even while eating."
"I'm in a trance every day, and I don't know what's going on with them."
Tang Jiaojiao said with a tearful voice: "I feel that all this was caused by me."
"I didn't listen to the advice and insisted on falling in love with Yang Chenlin, so I killed him."
"Even my grandma, who loves me the most, is gone."
"Grandma said: everything is retribution!"
"When grandma said this, my mother was so scared that her face turned pale."
After leaving Tang Jiaojiao's house, Zhou Zhimo thought about the conversation just now on the road.
Liu Yuqin said it was retribution, that is, she knew their life experiences before Yang Chenxi came to the door.
But what is Wang Xuechan afraid of?
Is it possible that Wang Xuechan also has an unknown secret?
When Liu Yuqin suddenly talked about retribution, she was worried that her secret had been discovered.
A thought suddenly flashed through Zhou Zhimo's mind: "Did Liu Yuqin discover something that made Wang Xuechan kill her?"
At this moment, Liang Yinuo called: "Master, Wang Xuechan has been brought back."
Zhou Zhimo replied: "Okay, I'll be back soon."
In the interrogation room, Wang Xuechan sat on the chair without any fear.
Zhou Zhimo came in and sat down, and asked her: "At five o'clock in the afternoon on the 23rd, where were you and what were you doing?"
Wang Xuechan said without thinking: "I'm sorting out my clothes at home."
"It's been too hot recently. I turn on the air conditioner at home to keep it cool. I don't want to go out."
Zhou Zhimo tapped his fingers lightly on the table and looked at Wang Xuechan: "Why do you remember so clearly?"
Wang Xuechan was stunned for a moment and said randomly: "My mother-in-law passed away that day, so I remember it clearly."
Zhou Zhimo continued to ask her: "I remember that day Mr. Tang said that you were busy when your mother-in-law passed away."
"You didn't rush over until the policeman handling the case left."
"Your home is less than twenty minutes away from that yard."
"If you were just packing clothes at home and encountered such a big change as the death of your mother-in-law, why did it take you so long to arrive?"
Wang Xuechan bit her lip: "Suddenly I heard that my mother-in-law passed away. I was very scared. I was scared to death."
Zhou Zhimo did not expose her, but pointed to the buttons on the photo and asked her, "Do you recognize this?"
Wang Xuechan blinked and shook her head: "I don't know."
Zhou Zhimo took out another photo: "Is this you?"
Looking at the photo of herself wearing a khaki gown, Wang Xuechan's lips moved but she made no sound.
Zhou Zhimo returned to his seat: "Wang Xuechan, if you have anything else to hide, you can explain it yourself."
Wang Xuechan lowered her head and remained silent, tearing at her nails.
Zhou Zhimo leaned back on the chair: "At five o'clock on the 23rd, you had a quarrel with your mother-in-law in the old yard."
He looked at Wang Xuechan: "Then you killed her and pretended to commit suicide."
"Then you hurriedly fled the scene. When you received the call, you were clearing evidence at home."
"am I right?"
Wang Xuechan looked up at Zhou Zhimo and shook her head in horror: "No, it's not."
"She did something wrong herself, and she doesn't blame me."
"If it weren't for the immoral things she did back then, those people wouldn't have come to her door."
Zhou Zhimo asked her: "Just because Yang Chenxi came to seek help, you have the heart to kill your mother-in-law?"
Wang Xuechan frowned and said, "If she just comes to ask for money to save her life, that's her business."
"Over the years, she has been arrogant in front of me. I just took this opportunity to make a comeback, and it's not too late to be happy."
"But, those people don't just want money."
