Chapter 20: A Broken Soul

Luo Jinbao broke out in a cold sweat after the situation was briefly discussed.

No wonder her face was white when I first saw her. I thought she had beautiful skin Luo Jinbao couldnt stop shivering when he realized he had stolen a dead womans phone.

From the present data to conduct a probabilistic calculation, I already know who the murderer with the highest probability is, Jiang He stated. Im not sure if you noticed, but He Huijuans immediate surroundings are devoid of any traces of blood. This indicates that it took some time for the knife to be removed after penetrating He Huijuans abdomen.

And

When we saw the body, half of the quilt was covered with He Huijuans body, and the other half was drooped under the bed, Jiang He said to Wang Chao. However, the internal inspection of the quilt revealed a bloodstain, and it is easy to draw the conclusion that the quilt should have previously been entirely covered with He Huijuans body.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

Wang Chao shrugged: Thats right, if the neck covers it, the location of the blood on the quilt corresponds to the location of the abdomen.

This means that when the murderer killed her, the knife had to go through the quilt to pierce He Huijuans abdomen.

Jiang He described the situation at the time and said, At the time, He Huijuan was wearing a pair of sexy underwear. Although I have never had a sexual experience, based on the information I have seen, I believe this woman should have just had intercourse, and the autopsy report supports this.

Another point is that even though He Huijuan was lying flat on the bed when we went to see her body, the blood stains were more prominent on the right side of the bed than the left, Jiang He noted.

I believe there is a 50% possibility that the mattress on the right side of the bed was squished by He Huijuans lover, and blood naturally flowed to that side owing to gravity.

Really?

Wang Chao was in disbelief as he couldnt recall such a specific detail.

According to Jiang He, a police officer brought a photo of the crime scene, and Wang Chao examined the situation in the photo.

Can you remember so many details? Wang Chao inquired.

Jiang He pointed to his head and remarked, Yes, I suffer from a disease that makes me this way. Ill never forget what Ive seen and heard as long as its what Ive seen and heard.

Wang Chao was envious: Who wouldnt want to develop such a disease?

Jiang He unexpectedly shook his head and said, When I was younger, that was my thought as well.

Do you not think so now? Wang Chao inquired once more.

This time, Jiang He did not answer and instead closed his eyes.

Jiang He closed his eyes and reconstructed the scene at the time: He Huijuans face was being touched by the person on the right side of the bed, who was also carrying a knife in his left hand. He stuck their right hand inside the quilt before thrusting a knife into He Huijuans stomach and covering her mouth with his right hand.

He Huijuan died because of excessive blood loss in just a few minutes.

After He Huijuans death, the killer did not draw out the knife, but hastily departed after covering her up with the quilt. Maybe he was frightened as he walked out in a hurry and failed to latch the door. This way, he allowed Luo Jinbao in.

So what do we do now? Wang Chao inquired.

Jiang He rubbed his temples and said, Now all we can do is wait for this man to be arrested. I am 60% positive that her lover is the murderer. But I have a lot of questions for you right now.

Me? Is there anything you dont understand? said Wang Chao, pointing to himself.

Yes, and there are many, Jiang He remarked solemnly.

Why Li Weiyi, who is not the killer, wants to be held accountable for the murderer is beyond my grasp. The information at the scene indicates that this case is not complicated, but because of the involvement of two people, it appears to be extremely tricky.

Wang Chao was taken aback when Jiang He asked this question. In fact, Wang Chao was perplexed by this question. Even though he was much better than Jiang He in regard to understanding human psychology, even he couldnt answer this question. Why would anyone take the blame for their wifes illicit lover?The man was clearly a mortal foe, but why did Li Weiyi do it?

Jiang He and Wang Chao sought clarification from Li Weiyi once more.

Li Weiyi was no longer under suspicion, and he was no longer required to wear handcuffs.

Li Weiyi was currently puffing on cigarettes one by one. Based on Jiang Hes knowledge, the chances of becoming addicted to smoking in just three days were almost nil. He was clueless why Li Weiyi smoked one after the other.

Did your wife lavishly spend money? Jiang He inquired.

No.

Li Weiyi responded, shaking his head, Even though she didnt work, she didnt usually spend much of my money. My monthly income is not that high. I need to pay off my mortgage, purchase firewood, rice, oil, and salt for my family, and purchase medicine for my mother. There isnt much left over. One months salary is said to be sufficient for expenses.

Do you know that the cost of a set of PCs in your home is roughly 10,000 RMB? Jiang He asked. Did you know that the authentic cosmetics on your wifes desk cost over 6,000 RMB? And your wifes Apple phone is more than 6,000 RMB?

I bought the Apple phone. As for the rest, I am not aware of them. Li Weiyi shrugged.

There is a 60% chance that these items were purchased with that lovers money, Jiang He said to Wang Chao, who was standing next to him.

Do you have to bring this up in front of me? trembled Li Weiyi.

Jiang He was perplexed: Whats the matter? Did you know your wife was in a relationship with another man?

You are a bastard, Li Weiyi muttered.

This was the second time Jiang He has heard others refer to him as a bastard, and he was not sure where he went wrong.

Control your emotions. Wang Chao knocked on the table.

I know my wife had an affair with another man and slept in the same bed with him. Li Weiyi clenched his teeth. No matter how deep I hid, how could I not know? I hope I never found out about it in my life, but thats impossible. Ive been aware of my wifes relationship with an outsider for a month.

I just hoped that she was having fun and would eventually return to me. Li Weiyi cried as he spoke.
