Chapter 26: Case Closed

Chapter 26: Case Closed

Everything appeared to be falling into place at last. He Huijuan had invited Feng Bin over through a text message at 9 oclock in the morning on July 28. However, at 11 oclock, Feng Bin unexpectedly stabbed He Huijuans stomach with a serrated knife. Before leaving, he wiped away all traces of himself from her phone. As the owner of an internet-related MNC, Feng Bin was well versed in technical abilities and knew how to erase any evidence of his interactions with He Huijuan.

Luo Jinbao arrived at He Huijuans house around 11:25 a.m. and stole the phone that was lying on the table. Unaware that there was a dead person on the bed, he moved calmly and made sure to close the door. At around 1:30 a.m., Wu Guifeng returned home and requested her daughter-in-law to get up. But when she removed the comforter, she found a serrated knife lodged in her daughter-in-laws stomach. Wu Guifeng spent the next fifteen minutes wiping the fingerprints off the knife before locking the door and committing suicide near the shoe cabinet. Around half past one, a junior high school student noticed blood seeping out of the door and called the police. This is how the whole case unfolded; in reality, it was not as complex as it initially seemed. However, two people interfered with the case: Wu Guifeng and Li Weiyi.

Jiang He could not understand why these two individuals would do such a thing. Had they not interfered, the case could have been quickly resolved, and there would have been no need for the prolonged investigation. Feng Bin had clearly explained the details of his crime, and all evidence pointed towards his guilt. With the murderer apprehended, Li Weiyi could be acquitted. As Li Weiyi left, he appeared somewhat dejected. Though he could have left with the body once the case was over, he chose to depart from the Public Security Bureau alone without signing any agreements. It was evident that Li Weiyi had left disappointed and possibly not even expected to leave alive when he first arrived. Jiang He suddenly remembered Li Weiyis earlier words: Why dont you let me die?

Feng Bin confessed to having given He Huijuan a significant amount of money during their cheating days and also helped her buy a large amount of in-game currency. However, further information was discovered after He Huijuans phone was found. The technical department of the criminal police found that He Huijuan was not just playing games; she was also making money by helping others make in-game progress. She could handle up to 20 accounts a day. Even after her death, many netizens still sent messages asking for her help with upgrading their accounts. Over the years, He Huijuan had managed to save about 50,000 yuan.

More than two months before her death, He Huijuan withdrew all the money she had, including 80,000 yuan, for an unknown purpose. The whereabouts of the cash could not be found in her home, and Li Weiyi did not mention it in his confession, raising suspicions. However, the focus is not on where He Huijuan spent her money.

Hannah rushed to the Public Security Bureau upon hearing the news of Feng Bins arrest. When she saw Feng Bin, she couldnt help but cry. Jiang He, who had a habit of watching others cry, observed Han Na crying with Feng Bin across the railing. Han Nas tears flowed silently as she stared at something without looking at Feng Bin. Jiang He was unable to discern her true feelings.

Hannahs loud voice caught the attention of the surrounding police officers, and Jiang He was afraid that the commotion could be heard from outside. She admitted to notifying the police of Feng Bins wrongdoing, saying that she did not want him to live a life of fear as a murderer and fugitive. Feng Bin, in turn, took responsibility for his actions and urged Han Na not to worry about him. He suggested that they divorce and that she find someone who would treat her well. The company would continue to operate formally, and the employees would handle their work, providing enough income for Han Na to live comfortably for the rest of her life.

Feng Bin was explaining the aftermath of the situation: Please dont inform my parents about this matter. They would not want their child to be branded a murderer.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

Having spoken, Feng Bin glanced over at Wang Chao and added: If it is possible, I would prefer to let my parents know that I passed away in a car accident rather than because of a homicide.

Wang Chao let out a heavy sigh and remarked, Why bother knowing this earlier? As per regulations, we are obligated to provide everyone with clear information. You have been together with your wife for so many years; it is a pity that you are unable to accept her for who she is.

As Wang Chao spoke, he noticed that Jiang He had been gazing at Han Na. Following Wang Chaos lead, Feng Bin covered his face with his hands, and his voice was muffled as he pleaded, Please dont say anything more. Just help me take care of my parents.

Subsequently, Feng Bin lowered his head and fell silent.

During this time, Jiang He had been scrutinising Hannah closely, and he had already deduced a few things about her.

The driver, however, was also keeping an eye on Jiang He, unsure of why he was staring at him.

Jiang He made his way towards the driver.

What do you want? The drivers temper flared up.

Jiang He remained silent.

The driver barked, shoving Jiang He aside. Youre in the way.

Jiang He asked, How much do you earn in a month?

The drivers irritation grew, and he snapped, Why do you care? Mind your own business!

Enraged, the driver started to push Jiang He around.

Whats going on here? Wang Chao intervened. Are you trying to start a brawl outside a police station?

At that moment, Hannah exited the public security bureau and rushed to the scene, asking, Whats happening here?

Jiang He spoke up, I simply asked him how much he earns in a month.

Hannah defended the driver, shielding him with her hand and saying, He earns 5,000 to 6,000 a month. Is that not enough? Please, lets not make a scene here. Be mindful of where you are.

With that, the driver reluctantly returned to his seat behind the wheel.
