When he saw the two corpses, Li Weiyi burst out laughing with the finest performance he had ever witnessed and subsequently promptly fainted to exhibit his heartbreak. But Li Weiyi had known about it for a long time. Even though Li Weiyis natural inclination was to conceal the truth about his crime, his heart was struggling and suffering throughout those few hours.

When being questioned by Wang Chao over Jiang Hes questions, Li Weiyi seemed to perceive those questioning as his superiors who bullied him, colleagues who rolled their eyes at him, his wifes remark that he was not a man, and her own mothers desperate eyes.

All of this shook Li Weiyis heart, causing him to erupt once more.

This led to the ensuing event.

When Li Weiyi concluded his story, the ashtray in front of him was already brimming with cigarette butts.

Li Weiyi appeared to be quite a smoker. He never coughed again while smoking like an old smoker in the midst of all this. After dumping the final carton of cigarettes into the ashtray, Li Weiyi smiled shyly.

He stated: Its ludicrous to say. I used to hear folks remark that smoking is detrimental for their children. Now that I think about it, its quite ironic. Its not beneficial for the following generation. I dont even have a future generation. But thinking about it is really useful. I will not let this situation occur in the future generation. All of my relatives in the world have perished, and soon it will be my time.

Li Weiyi gazed at Jiang He as he spoke: Actually, doesnt death wait for me in the end?

Wang Chao stated, The judgement is left to the court. Our responsibility is sending you to the judge.

Jiang He added, I dont care whether you die or not, its a humans choice of free will, but until I find out the truth, you cant die yet, roughly directly after Wang Chaos first line.

Wang Chao looked at Jiang He, coughed twice, and said, Pay attention to your identity, this is slightly inappropriate.

Jiang He was aware that these individuals regarded him as a police officer at the police station, and Jiang He himself likewise knew that should his identity be revealed, Wang Chao would almost undoubtedly prevent him from solving the case, and he was half-confident Wang Chao would have him arrested for interrogation.

Jiang Hes brain advised him: If you want to continue following up on this case, you should shut up.

The transcript is finished, and I should go back, Xu Yiman, who was standing next to him, said. Your speed in solving the case is remarkable. The corpses were discovered at noon, and the case was closed later that afternoon.

Xu Yiman stood up and left the room.

Wang Chao also stroked Jiang Hes shoulder: Lets go, and leave Li Weiyi alone.

Wang Chao returned his gaze to Li Weiyi: Whether you regret it or otherwise, apologizing is too late. I hope you can live righteously and meet a wife who genuinely loves you in your next life.

Jiang He led Wang Chao out of the room, uttering, Im not sure I understand. My earlier analysis reveals that theres a 50% chance Li Weiyi committed the crime. After hearing Li Weiyis words

When Wang Chao heard Jiang Hes words, he remarked softly: I had no idea the murderer was Li Weiyi, as you suspected. It is commonly stated that Qing officials find it difficult to do housework. Although He Huijuan was ultimately slain by Li Weiyi, He Huijuans words to him were also a form of murder.

At that moment, Xu Yiman was moving ahead of the two of them as they walked. When she heard Wang Chaos sentimental words, Xu Yiman turned her head. Her gaze shifted to the other side and she clasped her chin. She wasnt sure whether the flush on her face was a result of shyness or something else.

Jiang He approached an open office door and demonstrated: Wu Guifeng was lying next to the shoe cabinet at the entrance and a bloody handprint on the door handle was discovered. Based on the bloodied handprint, Wu Guifeng was responsible for leaving this one.

Jianghe shut the door with a hand and responded, There is nothing else. Given the evidence at hand, I believe Wu Guifeng closed the door by herself.

When everyone heard Jiang Hes remarks, their minds were flooded with visions.

The mother was stabbed by her son, but she endured the pain and gradually made her way to the entrance. With all her might, she slammed the door shut before locking it. Having completed these actions, she leaned against the shoe cabinet and waited for her death.

Wu Guifeng was extremely cautious while doing this. She was afraid to yell. Fear washed over her that if something went wrong, someone would notice the abnormality on the sixth level. She waited for the god of death to arrive as she leaned against the shoe cabinet and peered into the distance. It was like an old tree that didnt mind if it lived or died quietly.

A sigh escaped from everyone and they shook their heads. The son was the one who committed the crime, but the mother was nevertheless thinking about her son when she died.

Jiang He took a look around and said, I see that 70% of us are sighing, but I dont get the reason for that. Furthermore, based on the clues left at the scene, I am 70% positive that Wu Guifeng closed the door, but why is that? Doing this would simply prevent us from finding out the murderer. Why did she create more mysteries for herself?

Everyone looked at Jiang He.

Jiang He examined each of these individuals one by one.

They didnt grasp Jiang He, and he likewise failed to grasp them.

It was like pedestrians were crossing a springtime road, and those wearing sweaters and short sleeves glanced at one another, chiding each other inside for being fools.

This was evidently the atmosphere in the current criminal police team, and the present situation was a group of people in sweaters staring at a short-sleeved Jiang He.

Because any right or wrong in the world was formed by the common views of the majority of people.

I suppose this is out of a kind of maternal love, and mothers understand their children, Wang Chao explained to Jianghe.

Wu Guifeng knew Li Weiyi was a good man, and he must have felt helpless at that juncture.

After being punctured, Wu Guifeng created a fake secret room to disrupt the direction of the police investigation in order to conceal the truth.

Wang Chao recalled his previous deductions and realized he had been set up by Wu Guifeng.

He reddened and said, Its as if we naturally assumed Wu Guifeng killed He Huijuan first and then committed suicide, but now it seems that everything is not like that.

Wang Chao involuntarily thought of Wu Guifengs corpse, the wrinkled old woman, as he said, We should sympathize with the parents in the world. Any act of killing is murder and any attempt at concealment is futile.

Wang Chao added emotionally: This family is no longer alive. Lets inform He Huijuans family so they may have the corpse taken away. The case will be concluded here.

Wait.
