deep white secret

Chapter 55 You Can't Go Back

Li Juan's heart seemed to burst out of her chest. The girl in front of her was young, but her eyes were sharp. Li Juan's face turned red and she hurriedly defended:
"Officer, I didn't... lie, you have to trust me."

Ningxia lowered her tone and said in a low voice:

"We should have gone to the interrogation room, but once we entered the interrogation room and came out, the nature was completely different from now. Li Juan, you have to tell the truth, do you understand?"

Li Juan nodded.

"What is the relationship between Zhang Jiafu and Li Wenrui?"

"Distant uncles and brothers, because Li Wenrui is doing well, many relatives have come to Jinghai City to seek refuge with him."

"Li Wenrui takes good care of you?"

"Well. What kind of work is often introduced to my old Zhang."

This time Li Juan honestly told the truth.

"What happened to the money you went to the bank for?"

"Li Wenrui gave it to my family."

"Why give it?"

Li Juan was so nervous that her eyes were red:
"Li Wenrui asked Zhang Jiafu to drive and hit Zhou Xiaodan..."

Ning Xia felt a chill in her heart. It was confirmed that Li Wenrui wanted to kill Zhou Xiaodan. Ning Xia couldn't help but feel waves in her heart.

"when did it happen?"

"Last week on the 17th."

"how do you know?"

"My wife came home and said, Officer, this is a big deal. Now Zhou Xiaodan is fine. Will my wife be fine too?"

Ning Xia raised her eyelids and glanced at Li Juan:
"What if Zhou Xiaodan dies?"

"But she's not dead now."

Ningxia's pen tapped on the notebook:

"Let's not talk about this first. First, tell me the ins and outs of the whole thing."

Li Juan quickly explained:

"Actually, Li Wenrui visited my Lao Zhang several times for a while. When Lao Zhang came back for the first time, he was shocked. He closed the door and told me that Li Wenrui hated Zhou Xiaodan and wanted her to disappear from this world."

"But Lao Zhang didn't dare and never agreed. Later, Li Wenrui approached Lao Zhang several times. Every time Lao Zhang came back, he was frightened. The last time was last week, when Lao Zhang decided to give it a try."

"What are you trying to do? Kill Zhou Xiaodan? Do you two think this is a desperate attempt?"

Li Juan lowered her head:
"Isn't this a failure?"

"How much did Li Wenrui give? What is your plan?"

"Officer, I'm not involved."

Ning Xia looked at Li Juan and stripped her completely. She snorted in her heart and really wanted to question her:
Going to the bank to withdraw money, isn’t that participation?
But Li Juan was the main witness, and the confession was very important, and Ningxia knew not to provoke her.

Seeing Ning Xia's expressionless face, Li Juan thought she was right, Zhou Xiaodan was not dead, and Lao Zhang should be fine.

So Li Juan became interested. She wanted to tell Ning Xia everything she knew. If the policewoman showed kindness, Lao Zhang would be released soon.

"Li Wenrui bought Lao Zhang a car, and also found a house for us. This time, he took 30 yuan. He said that he could give it back if things were done. Who knew Li Wenrui had an accident."

Ningxia shook her head:
"What happened to Li Wenrui on the 17th? When did he discuss with Zhang Jiafu about harming Zhou Xiaodan?"

"It took a long time to discuss the matter. Half a month ago, Lao Zhang started to follow Zhou Xiaodan and make a plan. Li Wenrui said not to contact him this month and come back to him when the matter is done, so Lao Zhang didn't know anything happened to Li Wenrui."

Ningxia thought secretly and straightened out the timeline of the entire case.

"Zhang Jiafu and Zhou Xiaodan collided, creating the illusion of a car accident. How can he ensure that nothing happens to him?"

"Lao Zhang has worked in the auto repair shop for a long time, and he knows where it is not easy to be found after a car accident. On the day of the accident, Zhou Xiaodan's brake pads were slightly loose."

Ningxia took a deep breath. For money, these two people were so cruel. If Zhou Xiaodan hadn't been lucky, he would have died.

"When did you know something happened to Li Wenrui?"

"Today, Li Wenrui didn't let us contact him. I heard that nothing happened to Zhou Xiaodan, and I was afraid that he would ask for the money back. Today I met relatives and found out that Li Wenrui was dead."

"Officer, I know that Lao Zhang is soft-hearted and does not really want to kill Zhou Xiaodan. Officer, since Zhou Xiaodan is not dead now, can Lao Zhang be released?"

"After the accident, both Lao Zhang and Zhou Xiaodan were sent to the hospital. How did you know that Zhang Jiafu was soft-hearted at that time?"

Li Juan choked, lowered her head and rubbed the corners of her clothes.

Ning Xia looked at Li Juan coldly.

This was a middle-aged woman who was submissive and obedient. However, during the conversation with her, Ning Xia discovered that this woman was completely egoistic and even cruel.

Appearance can be deceiving, Li Juan looks ordinary, no one will associate her with the suspect who planned the murder.

Seeing that Ning Xia was silent, Li Juan mustered up the courage to ask:
"Officer, can I see my old man Zhang?"

Ningxia stood up:
"I'm afraid not. We have already had police officers go to the hospital to take notes from Zhang Jiafu. Since you have admitted that you conspired with Zhang Jiafu and Li Wenrui to murder Zhou Xiaodan..."

Li Juan stood up abruptly:
"How about it?"

"You can't go back either."

"No, officer, you can't do this. You just asked me to assist in the investigation. Officer, I told you everything I know. You can't lie to me like this!"

Xu Jie had been waiting for Ning Xia in the corridor. When he heard the noise coming from the conference room, Xu Jie pushed the door open and entered.

Li Juan saw another person coming, pointed at Ningxia and cursed:
"What kind of police are these? They are just bullying us people. I want to sue you. I have said everything and they still won't let me go. Zhou Xiaodan is not dead. Why do you arrest me?"

Ning Xia looked at Li Juan speechlessly and walked behind Xu Jie.

Li Juan is not tall. Although she is jumping around, she is still a little frightened when facing Xu Jie with a serious face.

Li Juan raised her head deliberately:
"I didn't harm Zhou Xiaodan. Lao Zhang was at most a traffic accident. You can't just arrest people. Is there any justice? Do you have any evidence?"

Ma Mingjie, Zhang Lei, and Shi Yihang all gathered around when they heard the sound.

"This is the criminal investigation team of the city bureau. The evidence is conclusive that Li Wenrui paid for the murder. Li Juan, if you continue to make trouble, your punishment will only be increased."

Xu Jie spoke, his eyes fixed on Li Juan:
"You and Zhang Jiafu received Li Wenrui's murder money, and you deposited the money into your account. This is the evidence."

Li Juan cried and cried unconvinced:
"Then I will refund the money to you and return it to your head office."

Xu Jie didn't want to talk nonsense, and gave Ning Xia a hint with his eyes. Ning Xia walked quickly behind Li Juan and subdued Li Juan with his backhand:
"The conversation we just had can also be used as evidence. Li Juan, whether it was Li Wenrui conspiring with Zhang Jiafu or Li Wenrui instigating you, you must admit everything personally."

"You are too bad, you little girl has a heart of snakes and scorpions, you will not end well..."

Before Li Juan could continue speaking, the police in the detention room arrived and took Li Juan away quickly.

The room fell into silence, and Ningxia said slowly after a while:

"Team Xu, the evidence on Li Juan's side is solid. I have also straightened out the timeline of the entire case. We have still gained a lot from this case until now."

"The gain is that Zhou Xiaodan has been eliminated as a suspect, but it turns out that Li Wenrui is not a person worthy of sympathy."

After Xu Jie finished speaking quietly, he leaned against the conference table and looked out the window, but Ningxia breathed a sigh of relief:
"I remember Captain Xu said that you can't rush the investigation. When all the clues appear, everything will naturally come to light."

The two people looked at each other, filled with a thousand words.
