Chapter 7: Strange Behavior

[ TN: Writing style could be little different from now on, Im going to use Yandex translation instead of google one. The issue being Gtrans sees Jiang and He as separate terms and screws up the sentence construction, increasing a lot of effort for me. I hope youll understand. After a mass release, Ill switch to monthly releases until mid 2023.]

Whats the problem?

Captain Wangs words went unnoticed by Jianghe. He continued to pull at his hair with his eyes closed firmly, and after a while, he started to perspire lightly. Perplexity assailed everyone in the room. While they were clueless about what was going on, they could tell Jiang He was in a great deal of anguish.

And at this precise instant, all of Jiang Hes memories and details flooded into his mind like a tide.

Had Jiang Hes brain been compared to a bucket, he believed that the entire Pacific Ocean was contained within this small bucket.

Jiang He, Jiang He, they said.

In an effort to understand what had occurred to Jiang He, Captain Wang rubbed his shoulder.

Jiang He opened his eyes suddenly, and the anguish was palpable in his bloodshot eyes, but he swiftly returned to normal.

Its nothing, its just a minor issue, he explained. Based on my observations of the entire scene, there is a 60% likelihood that a third person was present.

For a time, Wang Chao couldnt stop staring at Jiang He as if he were a different person now than when he was insane earlier.

The traces of madness were plainly apparent on his face moments ago, but Jiang He himself didnt seem to notice it.

He continued, dismissing the astonished expressions from those around him, So we are still far from the truth.

Wu Guifengs suicide after killing He Huijuan was a case proposition that matched the circumstances perfectly, given the traces left at the site.

Yet, all of the present police officers that were in charge of the crime investigation believed that Jiang He, a little-known police officer, whose origin was unknown, was correct.

In a short period of time, Jiang He had already convinced all of the present officers by utilizing his outstanding observation and analysis capabilities.

There was only one exception, and she was Xu Yiman.

Since Xu Yiman was absent during Jiang Hes analysis process, she could not grasp why these individuals would listen to a raunchy, disheveled man who was donning garments that were evidently ill-fitting.

Xu Yiman was also aware that Wang Chao oversaw the criminal police squadron as its squadron leader.

But Xu Yiman remained silent. Xu Yiman always observed folks who had to cut their sides. In her eyes, ladies wanted to converse to gentlemen. And Jiang He would be considered a gangster if he was grudgingly labeled. After all, this tiny and feeble Jiang He had a thiefs heart but lacked the skill.

Whats the problem?

What happened?

A mans voice was heard by all.

The man then said, This is, this is my mother, this is, this is my daughter-in-law, in a wavering voice.

After uttering these words, Li Weiyi closed his eyes and passed out.

Three individualsXu Yiman, Jiang He, and Wang Chaowere present when he awoke.

When Li Weiyi looked around, he found that he was on a bed in a different bedroom in his home.

Li Weiyi recognized his own home while casting a vacuous gaze in all directions.

Jiang He was observing Li Weiyi as he answered the question.

Li Weiyi sported a conventional outfit consisting of a black suit, a white shirt beneath, and a pair of black leather shoes.

Based on his attire, Li Weiyi was like an ordinary office worker in this city.

Jiang He, on the other hand, noticed subtleties that others had neglected as well as details that were easily overlooked.

This black suit should cost around one hundred RMB. The worth of this outfit wont go beyond 300 RMB, as per Jiang Hes past experience. This was evident from the coarse fabric. Even though the black suit appeared to be gray, it did not seem to have been washed all year.

The white shirt was crumpled, and the collar was turning yellow as he peered inside the suit.

This clothing had undoubtedly been worn for some time.

Jiang He noted that the suits trousers were discolored with a dark substance that he identified as rubber residue.

And while the heel of this pair of leather shoes displayed substantial signs of wear and tear from prolonged use, Li Weiyi has yet to replace them.

Jiang He repeatedly labeled Li Weiyi while he was gazing at him. He was frugal, didnt like to dress up, and struggled to communicate with others.

And this reminded Jiang He of Wu Guifeng, the mother of Li Weiyi.

These labels were almost identical to those on Wu Guifengs body.

Wu Guifengs pants were made of poor-quality material and should have been made of cheap synthetic material.

The green short-sleeved sleeves did not fit, and her sons clothes were clearly on her body.

The only time Wu Guifeng used a thimble was while she was using a needle to stitch.

On her finger, Wu Guifeng wore a thimble rather than a ring. She had never seen a ring more stunning than this one.

Wu Guifengs constant carrying of a thimble revealed that, despite being at odds with another person, her outlook on life could be saved.

I wont say anything superfluous, but I promise you that I will help you find the murderer as soon as possible and get justice for your family, Wang Chao said, This is the best I can do. But, I hope youll be open to cooperating with us at the same time. After all, we need your help to apprehend the murderer at the earliest opportunity.

Li Weiyi gave a nod.

Wang Chao concluded by saying, So thats it. You return and give us a comprehensive account first, and then we will look into it once more on the scene.

Li Weiyi glared angrily at Jiang He as he passed by.

Dont care about that, Wang Chao uttered as he sighed and patted Jiang He on the shoulder.

Jiang He gave a headshake. I dont care about this, but have you noticed that there is a certain thing missing in this family, and everyone has this thing? By the way, Wu Guifeng might not possess it, but He Huijuan unquestionably did.

Wang Chao suddenly remembered a college riddle, Is there anything male or female?

Do you happen to have this thing? Wang Chao shook his head.

Yes.

And how about me? Wang Chao inquired once more.

You must as well.
