deep white secret

Chapter 39 It's All Over

Shen Cuifang sat on the bench in the detention room, her body pressed against the wall, her head lowered.

Hearing the voice, Shen Cuifang slowly opened her eyes and recognized Ning Xia and Xu Jie. Shen Cuifang was shocked:
"It turns out that you are the police, what a coincidence."

Ningxia still couldn't believe that the thin woman in front of her was the murderer of three adult men.

She had gray hair and her hands were on her knees, clutching her gray pants.

When she lowered her eyes, time left clear ravines on her face.

Ningxia asked again:
"Did you really kill Zhang Qiang?"

Shen Cuifang looked at Ningxia, smiled and said softly:

"How old are you? You must be in your 20s. You look about 22 or 22 years old. Xiaoyan was [-] when he left. His father and I's lives were fixed on that day."

Shen Cuifang looked at Ning Xia, the care in her eyes was the same as when Ning Xia was eating in the restaurant.

"Later on, we often saw children your age, especially boys, which made my heart tremble every time. If Xiaoyan was still alive, he should be married by now, and I would be a grandmother."

Shen Cuifang smiled as if this was her life now:
"How wonderful. No matter whether a boy or a girl calls me grandma, I will..."

As she spoke, Shen Cuifang covered her eyes and cried.

Xu Jie looked outside the prison room. He did not expect Shen Cuifang to say these words. These words were so sad.

"How is Old Wu?"

Xu Jie stared at Shen Cuifang, and said for a while:
"Resuscitation failed last night..."

Shen Cuifang's eyes were wide open, and she finally leaned against the corner. She didn't cry loudly, her sleeves were in front of her eyes, and her body was shaking.

"Shen Cuifang, since you have surrendered, I hope you can tell the truth."

"I have long wanted to get to this point. Don't worry, I will do it. Where is Li Shuwen?"

Neither Xu Jie nor Ning Xia spoke.

A relieved smile appeared on Shen Cuifang's lips:

"So we succeeded!"

Ning Xia looked at Shen Cuifang who was smiling, and her heart suddenly felt stinging.

Shen Cuifang is a mother, Wang Zhuangwei, Zhang Qiang, and Li Shuwen also have mothers. Every mother is suffering from the pain of losing a child. The outcome of this case should not be like this.

"You killed everyone for revenge?"

Shen Cuifang raised the corner of her mouth mockingly:

"Our family has nothing. Xiaoyan is so miserable. They have accepted the punishment, but when the day comes, they will live the same life, have the same freedom, and will marry wives and have children. But Xiaoyan, I, Lao Wu, we are all ruined."

Shen Cuifang was a little excited, and Ning Xia felt that there was no point in arguing with her.

Xu Jie didn't close his eyes all day and night, his eyes were all red and his lower eyelids were blue and black, so Ning Xia said:

"Captain Xu, let's start asking."

Unexpectedly, Shen Cuifang looked at Ning Xia with pleading in her eyes:
"I want to be alone with you, and I'll tell you whatever you ask."

Xu Jie hesitated, and Ning Xia nodded at Xu Jie:
"I can do it, Captain Xu, don't worry."

So Shen Cuifang was taken to the interrogation room, and everyone in the criminal investigation team gathered outside the glass window.

Ning Xia turned on the light in the interrogation room and sat across from Shen Cuifang.

Under the lamp, Shen Cuifang looked even older, with a sense of relief and relief, which made Ningxia's interrogation go smoothly, but Ningxia still felt that something was wrong.

"Let's talk about Wang Zhuangwei first. I just came back from Lin County. I know that Wang Zhuangwei did not slip and drown. You must have killed him too."

Shen Cuifang shook her head:

"I don't know why, but you are very kind to me when I see you. I have been impressed by you since the first time you walked into our restaurant. I am very happy to be able to tell you these things now."

Ning Xia paused her hands and looked at Shen Cuifang.

"Let me talk about Xiaoyan first. Every time I think about him in the past ten years, I wonder why he was killed by those people."

Shen Cuifang's eyes turned red again:

"No, beat him to death."

Shen Cuifang put both hands on the table, leaned towards Ningxia and said softly:

"Xiaoyan is very simple. Although he is a boy, he has a gentle personality, so I didn't even know that he was blackmailed by Zhang Qiang after he went to work."

Shen Cuifang calmed down and began to tell:
"Old Wu used to be a worker in a glass factory. When the system was restructured, he was laid off and stayed at home. After that, we opened a small restaurant and went out early and came back late. We were not rich or wealthy, but the family of three lived a good life."

"After Xiaoyan graduated from high school, I originally wanted to send him to college, but he refused to go and insisted on working. It happened that Dayou was recruiting workers to build a factory in Lin County, so Xiaoyan went."

Recalling these past events, Shen Cuifang spoke very quickly. These past events have been swirling in her mind for more than ten years. In Shen Cuifang's heart, it seems like these things happened yesterday.

"Xiaoyan worked very well at Dayou. He went home one day a week. Later, he made money and bought us gifts. But then he lost the smile on his face when he came home, but I don't know what happened."

"How many years has Wu Yan worked at Dayou?"

"Nearly four years. Zhang Qiang and Li Shuwen joined Dayou for a relatively short time, that is, one year before Xiaoyan's death. In fact, I know that Xiaoyan and Wang Zhuangwei have a good relationship."

Ningxia nodded, Wang Zhuangwei's sister also said the same thing back then.

"Then you kill him in the end."

Shen Cuifang stared at Ningxia coldly:

"Did you know? During the court trial, three people identified each other. Although Wang Zhuangwei was not the mastermind, after Zhang Qiang kicked Xiaoyan's ribs... it was Wang Zhuangwei who punched the last one."

Shen Cuifang choked up again:
"I don't understand, I really don't understand. If you don't have deep hatred, why would you want to destroy others?"

"Now you've ruined others too."

"But Xiaoyan was cautious in his words and deeds at the beginning and never caused any trouble to them. It was Zhang Qiang who bullied him and threatened him all the time. He asked for money and would beat him if he didn't give it."

Ningxia has been experiencing various reversals since facing this case. Now that it has calmed down, Ningxia can look at this matter from an objective perspective.

If you sympathize with Shen Cuifang, Wang Zhuangwei and the other three people were also destroyed.

If you stand in the same position as before, and look at these four people and four families today, none of them are riddled with holes.

Ningxia didn't know what mentality she should have when facing Shen Cuifang.

"I want you to sympathize with me, but it's impossible. You don't feel the same way and don't know the pain in my heart."

Shen Cuifang was a little excited again:
"Lao Wu and I were responsible for those heartbreaking days and nights, and no one could understand."

Ning Xia said nothing. After Shen Cuifang calmed down, she took the tissue handed over by Ning Xia and wiped away her tears.

"Old Wu is gone, everything is over, what do you want to know?"

Ningxia tried her best to sound calm:
"I have read the files about what happened back then. Wu Yan was indeed harmed by an innocent person. I can understand your feelings on this point. As for the case, let's start from the time you decide to solve the matter on your own."

Ningxia does not use the word revenge. Where does the hatred come from? Is it injustice and unwillingness?
"The moment the verdict came down, Lao Wu and I saw them being taken away in a car, but they were alive and Xiao Yan was gone. So Lao Wu has been exercising and waiting for them to come out."

"After Wang Zhuangwei came out, we kept a close eye on him. Xiaoyan was too lonely by himself. I think everyone should stay with him."

These words were spoken by a thin and helpless woman with gray hair. Ningxia shuddered when facing Shen Cuifang.
