Chapter 828 Killing her husband for money, worse than pigs and dogs
The atmosphere in the meeting room was heavy. Qin Chuan slammed the test report heavily on the table and said, "Wang Jianjun's ex-wife Tian Rong's bloodstains were found at the crime scene; this is a crucial clue. Li Ming, how's your investigation into Tian Rong going?"
Li Ming gave a detailed report on their investigation in Wang Jianjun's hometown, including Tian Rong's debt to loan sharks and her meetings with Wang Jianjun. After listening to the report, Qin Chuan fell into deep thought. "It seems this case is far more complicated than we imagined. Wang Jianjun's ex-wife not only owed a huge amount of money to loan sharks, but her blood was also found at the crime scene. There must be some connection between the two."
"Could it be that the loan sharks came to Hongxing Village to collect their debts and had a conflict with Wang Jianjun's family, which resulted in Tian Rong being injured and leaving bloodstains?" a criminal investigation team member speculated.
Qin Chuan shook his head. "It's not that simple. If it were just a simple debt collection conflict, why would they hide the body in the cellar? And judging from the traces at the scene, the murderer had a strong sense of counter-surveillance, which doesn't seem like a crime caused by an ordinary private lending dispute."
After a moment of contemplation, Li Ming said, "Director Qin, I think we need to re-examine the clues. From Wang Jianjun and Zhao Kaifeng's illegal clay mining partnership to Liu Er's emotional entanglement with Wang Yutong, and now the appearance of Wang Jianjun's ex-wife, there must be some kind of intrinsic connection between these clues."
Qin Chuan nodded. "That's right. Continue to investigate Tian Rong's situation more thoroughly, especially her relationship with the loan sharks and her movements after meeting Wang Jianjun. At the same time, conduct another investigation of the crime scene to see if we can find any more clues related to Tian Rong. This case has reached a critical moment, and everyone must go all out to uncover the truth as soon as possible."
Li Ming led his officers in a swift operation, investigating Tian Rong's life and relationships. They quickly discovered that Tian Rong was now living with a man named Zhang Kai.
Li Ming and several police officers arrived at Tian Rong's residence. It was an old apartment building on the outskirts of the city, surrounded by a messy environment, with mottled moss covering the walls. Li Ming rang the doorbell, and a series of hurried footsteps came from inside. After a while, the door slowly opened, revealing Zhang Kai's slightly flustered face.
"Hello, we're from the Municipal Public Security Bureau." Li Ming showed his badge, his eyes keenly observing Zhang Kai's expression. "We'd like to speak with Tian Rong to get some information. Is she home?" Zhang Kai's eyes darted around, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he stammered, "She...she went out, I don't know when she'll be back." Li Ming noticed Zhang Kai's nervous demeanor and immediately became suspicious.
"And who are you?" Li Ming continued to ask. "I...I'm her friend, Zhang Kai," Zhang Kai stammered, his hands unconsciously rubbing together in front of him. "What do you know about Wang Jianjun's case?" Li Ming stared intently into Zhang Kai's eyes, trying to find a clue in his reaction. "I...I don't know much, I've only heard a little," Zhang Kai's voice trailed off, his eyes never meeting Li Ming's gaze.
Li Ming found Zhang Kai's behavior highly suspicious and decided to request a search of Tian Rong's residence. After receiving approval, the officers acted swiftly. They meticulously searched every room, leaving no corner unchecked. When the officers searched the bedroom, they found a tattered cardboard box under the bed. Li Ming put on gloves, opened the box, and inside was a stack of blood-stained cash.
"Send this cash for DNA testing immediately." Li Ming's expression was grave, realizing it could be crucial evidence in the case. Emergency testing by technicians revealed that the bloodstains on the cash belonged to Wang Jianjun. This discovery led to a major breakthrough in the case, and Li Ming immediately decided to arrest Tian Rong and Zhang Kai.
Tian Rong and Zhang Kai were brought to the interrogation room. Tian Rong looked bewildered, his eyes revealing fear, while Zhang Kai kept his head down, his body trembling slightly. Li Ming and another police officer entered the interrogation room and sat opposite them.
"Tian Rong, what's with the bloodstained cash under your bed?" Li Ming's gaze was piercing, fixed on Tian Rong's eyes. Tian Rong's face turned deathly pale instantly, and his lips trembled as he said, "I...I don't know, it's not mine." "Not yours? Then why is it under your bed? And there's Wang Jianjun's blood on it." Li Ming pressed on relentlessly.
At this moment, Zhang Kai, who had been silent all along, suddenly raised his head, his voice tinged with despair: "It was me, I hid it there." Li Ming turned his gaze to Zhang Kai: "Why did you hide the blood-stained cash? What does it have to do with Wang Jianjun's death?" Zhang Kai took a deep breath and slowly said, "I... I didn't want to say this. That day, Tian Rong and I were at home when Wang Jianjun suddenly came to our door and we got into an argument. He was very agitated and accidentally bumped his head on the table, injuring himself and bleeding. The cash was what he brought with him, and it accidentally got stained with blood. We were afraid of being misunderstood, so we hid the cash."
"Is that really all?" Li Ming looked at Zhang Kai suspiciously. "What happened to Wang Jianjun after that?" Zhang Kai's eyes darted away again. After a long silence, he said, "He... he left on his own. We really don't know what happened to him after that." Li Ming knew that Zhang Kai's account was full of loopholes, and they must be hiding something else.
The following day, Li Ming conducted an extreme interrogation of Tian Rong and Zhang Kai.
The interrogation room was oppressively tense. Zhang Kai sat in the interrogation chair, his hands tightly handcuffed, his forehead covered in fine beads of sweat, his eyes revealing a hint of stubbornness and resentment. Across from him, Li Ming and another experienced interrogator stared intently at Zhang Kai, trying to uncover the truth of the case from his every subtle expression and movement.
“Zhang Kai, you’d better think this through. The evidence before you is irrefutable; no amount of sophistry will change that.” Li Ming broke the silence first, his voice deep and powerful, echoing in the small interrogation room. As he spoke, he slammed the photos of the blood-stained cash and the related DNA test report heavily on the table; the dark red bloodstains in the photos were particularly glaring.
Zhang Kai's eyes unconsciously swept over the evidence on the table. His body trembled slightly, but he still tried to remain calm and stubbornly said, "I already said that the money was accidentally stained with blood by Wang Jianjun himself. We really didn't kill anyone." Although his voice was firm, the slight tremor in his tone betrayed his inner panic.
"Hmph, you accidentally got blood on yourself?" Another interrogator sneered, leaning forward and staring sharply at Zhang Kai. "Then why did you hide this money under the bed? And why did you deliberately conceal your contact with Wang Jianjun after he disappeared?" Every question from the interrogator was like a sharp dagger, piercing Zhang Kai's psychological defenses.
