Bai Mo approached Lu Wan and called softly in her ear, "Team Lu?"
Lu Wan glanced sideways at Bai Mo. She said nothing, with a hint of exhaustion in her eyes.
"There is a question." Bai Mo lowered his voice deliberately. This was just his conjecture, a conjecture that he himself did not believe. "Will we investigate some common murder cases from the perspective of the beneficiary?"
Lu Wan nodded slightly and signaled Bai Mo to continue speaking.
Bai Mo's voice became even softer, "If you look at it from the perspective of the beneficiaries, based on the clues we know so far, who is the biggest beneficiary of the death of Qu Hailong and his wife?"
Jamie's name immediately appeared in Lu Wan's mind.
According to Wang Dongmei, Jamie was originally a very lively child, but because his parents often quarreled and fought in front of him, his psychology changed, much like autism.
Jamie's mental health is bound to go into serious trouble if this continues, and now that his parents are gone, he's a real beneficiary.
This conjecture is very bold, but it is really the usual way of handling cases.
This is similar to how Lu Wan suspected Wang Dongmei at first. The starting point was for Jamie, but Lu Wan only suspected Wang Dongmei alone, and Bai Mo gave him a range.
"I think we have to go see Jamie." Bai Mo's voice was still very low, only Lu Wan could hear it.
Even though Bai Mo's idea was bold, Lu Wan agreed to his proposal without any hesitation.
On the way to Xiangshan Community, Lu Wan peeked at Bai Mo from time to time. She thought of the scene when Bai Mo recognized Lu Yajun at a glance. Could it be that Bai Mo was right this time?
Building 2203, Building 5, Xiangshan Community, is a house temporarily rented by Qu Hailong's parents. After such a big case, the community property management took the initiative to provide them with accommodation.
Wang Dongmei was holding Jamie on the sofa and watching TV. Jamie watched the cartoon with a very focused expression, his small eyes radiating light, and it seemed that he was happiest only at this time.
Qu Hailong's parents were sitting at the dining table. Qu's mother was wiping her tears. The two old people looked confused, obviously they had not yet gotten over the pain of losing their son.
"Officer, when will the murderer be caught?" This was the question Qu's mother asked most after Lu Wan arrived.
The murder case is a criminal case, and the bodies of Qu Hailong and his wife are still in the forensic building of the Public Security Bureau.
"Please trust our police." Lu Wan could only reply in a tactful way. She looked at Jamie and asked softly, "How is Jamie's condition these days?"
"It's good." Qu's mother said, "Thanks to Dongmei, who teaches us how to take care of him every day."
Hearing someone mention her name, Wang Dongmei looked towards Lu Wan, smiled and nodded to her.
Father Qu sighed, "I just don't know why, but Jamie doesn't look for his parents that much. Instead, he often calls his aunt."
Qu's mother helped explain, "It's probably because Hailong and the others are too busy. Dongmei takes Jamie with her every day. Jamie and Dongmei have a good relationship."
"Why don't you come here to take care of Jamie?" Bai Mo suddenly asked.
The two old men looked at each other, and Qu's father said: "We are country people and are used to life in the country. Hai Long never asked us to take care of the children, so he didn't come over."
"They should go to your place during the holidays, right?" Seeing the two old men nodding, Bai Mo continued to ask, "How is their relationship as husband and wife?"
"Very good." Qu's father replied, "Wang Qian is beautiful and has a good personality, and everything goes with Hai Long."
The descriptions of the two old people were very different from Wang Dongmei's. Fortunately, Lu Wan and Bai Mo had already done their research before coming.
The monitoring at Qu Hailong's home corresponds to a cloud disk storage, which contains nearly a month of monitoring.
Excluding the five days when the two were killed, in the remaining twenty-five days, Qu Hailong and Wang Qian quarreled almost every three days. Wang Qian liked to throw things, and Qu Hailong liked to hit people.
During the surveillance, Jamie sat on the ground and cried loudly. The two of them didn't care about the child at all and continued to make a fuss.
Bai Mo also watched the surveillance of the two of them when they were not at home. Wang Dongmei took very good care of Jamie, almost like taking care of her own children.
It can be seen that Wang Dongmei is telling the truth. Qu Hailong and Wang Qian often quarrel at home. Without Wang Dongmei to take care of Jamie, I am afraid the child would be doomed.
The couple disguised themselves so well in front of others that even Qu Hailong's parents didn't know that they often quarreled.
"We have some questions to ask Wang Dongmei, can you take care of Jamie?" Bai Mo said.
According to Bai Mo and Lu Wan's analysis, if Qu Hailong's parents were not aware of the quarrel between the two, then it is likely that only Wang Dongmei knew about it.
Wang Dongmei is not a murderer and has no time to commit the crime, but she can hire a murderer to kill someone. Even if it is not Wang Dongmei, then the news about the quarrel between the two must have come from Wang Dongmei's mouth.
Qu's mother nodded in agreement and came to the sofa to pick up Jamie. Bai Mo found that Jamie was a little resistant, not to resist Qu's mother, but because he didn't want to leave Wang Dongmei's arms.
Wang Dongmei gently explained to Jamie that she would be back in a while, and Jamie took the initiative to hug Qu’s mother.
The three of them came to the second bedroom, and Wang Dongmei sat down beside the bed.
"Have you told anyone about the quarrel between Qu Hailong and his wife?" Lu Wan asked.
If Wang Dongmei hired a murderer, they could only determine it through investigation, and Lu Wan could only ask questions through insinuations.
Wang Dongmei shook her head, glanced at the bedroom door, made sure it was closed, and then lowered her voice and said, "They only quarrel at home, and they are very popular in the community. Hailong is the big boss, and many aunts in the community often praise him. I He doesn’t like to talk nonsense, and he has never told anyone about their quarrel.”
Only Wang Dongmei knows about this!
Lu Wan's heart was full of doubts at this moment. Bai Mo's motive for the murder was for Jamie's mental health. If it was Wang Dongmei, then she could only do it for Jamie, and she knew her motives very well.
In other words, if a murderer kills because of a known motive, then when the police ask questions about this motive, he must create the illusion that many people have a motive for killing.
The motive for the murder was for Jamie's mental health. It was Qu Hailong and his wife who caused Jamie's mental problems. Wang Dongmei should say that many people knew that Qu Hailong and his wife often quarreled.
"Have outsiders come to your home these days?" Bai Mo asked, "For example, people from Qu Hailong's company, or Wang Qian's colleagues?"
"They've all been here before." Wang Dongmei has been taking care of Jamie these days, so she naturally knows the specific situation.
Bai Mo asked: "Do you feel like anyone cares about Jamie in particular?"
"You all care, right? After all, only Jamie is left." Wang Dongmei sighed.
Bai Mo was not good at asking questions, so he looked at Lu Wan for help.
