Attending ex-girlfriend's wedding, arresting the groom's officer on the spot

In the interrogation room, Wang Meili confessed to the fact that she had committed murder, and quickly revealed where she had hidden the body.

The other party actually hid Zhang Chao's body directly at home and buried it under the kumquat tree on the balcony.

Lu Chuan immediately sent people back to Wang Meili's house to look for the body.

"Why did you kill Zhang Chao?"

Wang Zhaokai was in charge of the interrogation.

"No reason. He treated me badly. His true nature was revealed after we got married. He was a domestic abuser. Whenever he drank, he would beat me or scold me. I couldn't stand it anymore. A year ago, he got drunk and beat me again. I took the opportunity to kill him."

Murder due to domestic violence?
"Wang Meili, something's wrong?"

Wang Zhaokai frowned. Although the case was solved in a short time, the Criminal Police Brigade's investigation into Zhang Chao was very detailed and they learned a lot about the other party.

"You said Zhang Chao was domestically abusive to you? And he also drank frequently?"

Wang Meili's eyes were a little erratic, but she still nodded: "Yes."

"Zhang Chao has a violent tendency. He usually seems easygoing, but after drinking, he gets wild and beats or scolds me every time he comes home. I've had enough of him over the years. Now that my children are growing up, I don't want to put up with him anymore. So when he abused me again a year ago, I couldn't hold back and accidentally stabbed him to death with a pair of scissors."

While Wang Zhaokai was interrogating the suspect, Lu Chuan, Chen Jiang, Sun Biao and others were also watching the interrogation process in the monitoring room next door.

"Captain Lu... Wang Meili... seems like she's not telling the truth."

Chen Jiang frowned.

The investigation over the past two days has shown that Zhang Chao is a relatively easy-going person. Both his neighbors and company staff have a good opinion of him.

Of course, it is hard to say what a person is like in front of others and what he is like at home. Maybe everything outside is a disguise, and only when he returns home does he reveal another side of himself. This is possible.

But Wang Meili said that Zhang Chao committed domestic violence against her, but there is no evidence that Zhang Chao committed domestic violence against her.

The house they live in is an old brick-concrete structure from the 80s with poor sound insulation, so if Zhang Chao was committing domestic violence against his wife, the neighbors would probably be able to hear it.

The key point is that they have lived in this community for more than 10 years. During such a long period of time, if Zhang Chao really committed domestic violence against him frequently as Wang Meili said, it is impossible that the neighbors were completely unaware of it.

"There is indeed a problem."

Lu Chuan was also frowning.

Even though Zhang Chao hid his domestic violence against Wang Meili very well and no one outside knew about it, there was one thing Wang Meili definitely lied about: Zhang Chao did not drink.

According to his colleagues at the company, Zhang Chao has a weak constitution and is allergic to alcohol. Once he drinks, he will break out in rashes all over his body. Therefore, at work, his colleagues never let him drink at dinner parties.

But now Wang Meili says that Zhang Chao abuses her whenever he comes home after drinking, which is obviously problematic.

Since Wang Meili has already admitted that she killed Zhang Chao, why did she lie about her motive for the murder?
In the interrogation room, Wang Zhaokai continued to ask: "You said you killed the other person with scissors?"

Wang Meili nodded: "Yes, I used scissors to hurt him to death."

"Where did you stab him?"

"After he hit me, I stabbed him from behind when he wasn't paying attention."

"Left or right?" Wang Meili hesitated a little: "Left, I... can't remember clearly."

"Wang Meili, was your daughter present when you killed Zhang Chao?"

"No!"

Wang Meili reacted very quickly: "This matter has nothing to do with her!"

"I killed Zhang Chao. It had nothing to do with my daughter. He was not present. When I killed him, my daughter was in school and he was taking extra classes. He didn't know about this."

Wang Meili continued quickly, "After I killed Zhang Chao, I buried him directly under the orange tree. The area under the orange tree was very large, so I dug the soil and buried him. My daughter came back after that, and by the time she came back, I had already cleaned up the scene. She didn't know that I was the one who killed Zhang Chao."

In the monitoring room.

"This Wang Meili seems to be particularly sensitive about this issue?"

Chen Jiang asked doubtfully.

"Of course it's sensitive. If his daughter was present or knew that Zhang Chao was killed by Wang Meili, and he didn't report it to the police in more than a year, then it would mean that he was guilty of harboring someone. If we want to investigate, it's really hard to say."

Sun Biao said.

"That's understandable."

But as to whether her daughter knew about it, several people avoided the topic.

Logically speaking, several people actually believed that Wang Meili's daughter was most likely aware of this matter.

After all, even if what Wang Meili said was true, their daughter was not at home that day, but was taking extra classes outside, but Zhang Chao was not buried under the orange tree at home.

Is there really no taste at all?

In addition, Wang Meili fabricated the illusion that Zhang Chao had been living with them for the past year. Didn’t her daughter know anything about it?

Even if he didn't know this, why didn't his daughter ask about Zhang Chao's disappearance?
After all, Wang Meili's daughter knew very well whether Zhang Chao lived with them.

"Forget it. These things were all done by Wang Meili. Her daughter might have also been kept in the dark by Wang Meili. For example, Wang Meili lied to her that she and Zhang Chao were divorced."

Lu Chuan thought about it and decided not to pursue the issue any further.

Wang Meili killed someone, but her daughter did not report it. Legally speaking, this is indeed suspected of harboring a crime.

But the fact is that Wang Meili's daughter is very young, has not yet formed her own values, and is not yet fully an adult, so there is no need to pursue some things and some behaviors too deeply. As long as this case is solved, Lu Chuan and others do not want to pursue other things.

The interrogation in the interrogation room continued.

"Tell me about how you forged the story of Zhang Chao living with you."

Wang Meili nodded: "First of all, I did this alone. My daughter has no idea. I also lied to her and said that I divorced Zhang Chao, so he would not live with us. It is not unrelated that my daughter does not know that I have been faking the fact that Zhang Chao and I are together."

As expected, Wang Meili was prepared. However, after hearing what the other party said, Lu Chuan and others felt relieved.

Although they decided not to pursue the case, this was a logical loophole after all, and they could not tell Wang Meili what to say. Since the other party had said it, then as evidence of the confession, her daughter's suspicion of harboring a criminal could be ruled out. (End of this chapter)
