There were tears in Zhang Xiuwen's eyes, and she choked, "I... don't know."
Ma Hongwen showed no mercy: "Then let me ask you something you can know. When there was a fire accident at Mr. Wang Wenhui's house, where was Wang Qianshan and what was he doing?"
"I don't know... those days, Wang Qianshan was rarely at home, and he never went to the Chinese medicine clinic. He was outside with Li Qian all day long."
"Did the fire occur late at night or early in the morning?"
"yes."
"What was the cause of the fire?"
"There was a power outage that day and it rained, so the doors and windows were closed. At night, my father-in-law was repairing the sewer at home and accidentally moved the gas pipe, causing a gas leak, but he may not have known it. Before going to bed, he forgot to put out the candle again. In the middle of the night, a fire broke out."
When the police were investigating Wang Yuan'e's social relations, they visited Wang Wenhui's old house.
Wang Wenhui's old house is a self-built house with three floors. There is a clinic downstairs and people live upstairs. When gas became popular, for old houses like this, gas pipelines were mostly laid along sewer pipes.
The old house that suffered a fire was later renovated, but it has remained vacant. Apart from the furniture, the only photos of Wang Wenhui and his wife are displayed in the huge house, which is in line with the common role of old houses to house ghosts but not humans.
"After the fire accident, when did Wang Qianshan start appearing?"
Two tears finally came out of her eyes. Zhang Xiuwen choked and said: "He... was the first person to discover the accident, and he was the one who called the fire alarm."
"Why did Wang Qianshan suddenly appear there in the middle of the night?"
"He planned to elope with Li Qian, but his ID card was left at the clinic... so he went back secretly and wanted to take the ID card away."
There is a reasonable explanation for everything.
Ma Hongwen suddenly said: "Afterwards, did Wang Qianshan still refuse the police's proposal to perform a routine autopsy on the bodies of Wang Wenhui and his wife?"
"The deceased is the oldest. As the eldest son, Wang Qianshan, if he requests that his parents' remains be kept intact and they cannot be quartered by five horses after death, the police have no reason to doubt such claims and can only respect the wishes of the family."
"Wang Yuan'e's blind worship of Wang Qianshan can be described as following his lead. Wang Qianshan made this statement to the police, and Wang Yuan'e naturally had no objection."
"The accident happened in November 2001. You just said that when you and Wang Qianshan divorced, Wang Yuan'e was still studying. Therefore, when the accident happened, Wang Yuan'e should not be at home, but at school. He suddenly received a call from his parents The news of his death in a fire accident is not only shocking and sad, but also has to be treated as an accident without too much suspicion."
"Mr. Wang Wenhui did not have any deep hatred in his life. He was also a hero of the country and had a good reputation among his neighbors and patients. It is unlikely that such a person would be vendetta or murdered. Moreover, the death of people in a home fire accident is inherently It is a common and normal accident."
"So, in the view of the police at the time, there was nothing suspicious about Wang Wenhui and his wife dying in the fire."
"But what about you?"
"I am asking you a question about the fire accident that has always been around Wang Qianshan. You are very sad. Does it mean that in your heart, you have always suspected that the fire accident was not an accident, but man-made, and that the culprit was Wang Qianshan?"
"On one side is the in-laws, on the other is the ex-husband. Although this man betrayed you and made you sad, he is still the child's father and Wang Yuan'e's brother. The parents-in-law are dead, and the child has no grandparents. Wang Yuan'e We have already lost our parents. There is no need for the children to lose their father and the uncle to lose his brother."
"Besides, although you have this suspicion, you have no evidence."
"So, from the beginning to the end, from the time of the incident to now, you chose to pretend to be deaf and mute and ignore it?"
Zhang Xiuwen was already in tears, but she never said a word.
However, Ma Hongwen did not intend to let her go. He continued with an almost cold tone, and his words were as cold as a knife, as if the knife saw blood:
"I just said that Wang Qianshan will most likely confess to Wang Wenhui that you are going to divorce and that he and Li Qian will also
. You made no objection to this. In other words, you also have this suspicion. "
"If this hypothesis is true, Wang Wenhui will be furious and will undoubtedly firmly oppose it."
"No one knows more than his father, and no one knows his father more than his son. Wang Wenhui's attitude must have been expected by Wang Qianshan. But he still decided to do this, so naturally he had no intention of following Wang Wenhui's will and gave up halfway. He was not asking Wang Wenhui for help. opinion, but to declare to him that he will be the master of himself.”
"It's just like when Wang Wenhui announced to Wang Qianshan that he didn't need to go to college. The difference is that this time the announcer and the announced have swapped roles."
"Whether it is judging from your feedback just now or the information we originally had, Wang Qianshan has always been worried about his inability to go to college. And the initiator of all this is indeed Mr. Wang."
"So, for Wang Qianshan, challenging his father's authority and violating his father's will not only gave him the pleasure and satisfaction of revenge, but also a sense of ritual and accomplishment that he was in control of his own destiny."
"One was determined to abandon his wife and children, and the other was resolutely opposed. Intense conflicts and contradictions inevitably broke out. In this process, Wang Qianshan accumulated years of dissatisfaction and resentment towards his autocratic and overbearing father, and it seemed that he had accumulated Like a volcano that has been built for many years, it exploded in an instant.”
Then, Ma Hongwen suddenly changed the topic: "I heard that in the past, there were father and son who robbed tombs."
"When robbing a tomb, one person often needs to stand guard outside the tomb and another person enters the tomb. But many times, when the people in the tomb are in danger, the person watching outside the tomb does not enter the tomb desperately to save people, but immediately runs away after hearing the news. .”
"In order to prevent this from happening, the tomb robbing gangs have gradually developed into mostly fathers and sons working together. Brothers fighting tigers, father and son are soldiers. In this way, the members of the tomb robbing gangs must trust each other, right?"
"Oh, no, there will still be situations where you abandon your partner."
"The father entered the tomb, and the son stood guard outside the tomb. But when the father was in danger inside, the son still refused to save him and ran away. Even after lifting out all the belongings inside, the son wanted to monopolize it, so he blocked the entrance outside. Seal my father alive inside."
"But a living person cannot suffocate his urine to death. They quickly found a solution to the problem. When robbing a tomb, they arranged for the son to enter the tomb and the father to guard outside the tomb, and made it an iron rule."
"Oh, in this way, there will be no more human tragedies such as abandoning a partner or killing a father and son."
Then, Ma Hongwen looked serious and returned to the topic: "Tiger poison cannot eat its son, but a son can eat its father. In the fierce conflict between father and son, Wang Qianshan most likely committed a crime of passion and killed Wang Wenhui. If he doesn't do it, he will not stop. Since he killed If you kill your father, then you might as well kill your mother too.”
"Afterwards, create a fire accident again."
"Wang Qianshan is really a smart man. A fire can not only burn away all traces of the scene, but also perfectly cover up the death of Wang Wenhui and his wife as an ordinary accidental death."
"In the eyes of the police and outsiders, a fire is nothing to make a fuss about, let alone raising suspicions about a father and son killing each other."
The interrogation room immediately fell into deadly silence.
Zhang Xiuwen let her tears roll down.
After a long time, Zhang Xiuwen choked and said: "I... didn't lie."
Ma Hongwen's pupils shrank: "No one said you lied. Why do you insist that you didn't lie without questioning that I was making up a story?"
Zhang Xiuwen still responded with silent crying.
"Because, in your heart, you have the same opinion as me. I just said this."
"You are indeed not lying. What you told me is most likely what you saw or what you know. That day there was a power outage. After sending away all the patients, Wang Wenhui repaired the sewers at home by candlelight at night. These It should be the truth.”
"During the process of repairing the sewer, the gas pipe was accidentally damaged, causing gas leakage. This should be the result of the fire alarm investigation at the time. Whether it was Wang
Neither the brothers Qianshan Wang Yuan'e nor you have any reason to question the police's result, and they will only believe it deeply. "
"The question is, was the damage to the gas pipeline caused by Mr. Wang Wenhui accidentally, or was it caused by Wang Qianshan who had an idea after the incident and based on the fact that Wang Wenhui had indeed repaired the sewer? Who knows?"
"As for Mr. Wang, he forgot to put out the candle before he fell asleep? Hey! Wang Qianshan only needs to move the bodies of his parents to the bed, and then light a candle on the bedside table or on the dining table in the living room. He himself will stay outside the house, just waiting for leaks. After the gas concentration reaches a certain level and a fire breaks out in the house, call 119."
"Of course, while waiting, he had enough time to clean himself up so that there were no traces of a fight or fight on his body."
"Just in case, Wang Qianshan must stay outside the house, and he must call the police himself."
"Because he was not sure if someone nearby would suddenly wake up at night or be awakened by the burning fire, then discover the fire and kindly rush over to put out the fire."
"I'm not sure whether firefighters will find any clues when putting out the fire."
"It is also because of the work practice of the fire department that after the fire is extinguished, the family members will be consulted. When the corpse of the deceased needs to be dissected, he can clearly refuse it at the first time."
"I have to say that Wang Qianshan was very lucky. On that day, no accident happened that was detrimental to him, and no one questioned this seemingly normal accident."
"But you are different. You have always had doubts about this fire, but you have always kept it deep in your heart."
"I'm curious, are you tired of having such a secret buried deep in your heart for so many years?"
