Chapter 373: No Loopholes
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Could it be that Yu Bo was also the murderer for the 121 case?
It could be him.
Cheng Zheng’s report had indicated that the fingerprint they extracted belonged to Yu Bo. Why couldn’t the murderer be Yu Bo then?
All those complicated analyses they had done, what if they had really thought too much?
A person who even dared to kill his own mom, it would make sense that he could also kill four won who were unrelated to him.
The atmosphere grew heavy and grim in the office.
Yu Bo was hanging his head low and said nothing.
Xiang Wan kept quiet for a mont and exchanged glances with Quan Shaoteng.
His expression was also as astounded as her.
No! He seed even more shocked than Xiang Wan.
Perhaps this had gone beyond his expectations?
Xiang Wan’s lips ford a slight curve as she looked away.
“Yu Bo, I still have a question to ask you.”
Yu Bo looked up quietly.
Xiang Wan smiled as she asked, “Did you kill soone in Xi City as well?”
Yu Bo was a little startled as he looked at her. “Blackie didn’t see that... Xi City, Blackie’s not there, he won’t be depressed.”
Thump!
Bingo?
Xiang Wan felt as though she had fallen to the depths of the abyss.
All of her hopes were dashed at that instant.
Never had she thought that Yu Bo would admit that directly.
She had wanted to ask this question earlier in the day when she t him.
However, at that point in ti, Yu Bo had refused to communicate with her—even if she asked, she would not get a reply.
Xiang Wan was in a daze.
She did not utter a word.
A good while later, she sighed.
“So you wanted to see in the middle of the night to tell all this?”
Did he want to see her especially to answer her queries? Hur!
If that was the case, why didn’t he say anything before?
Yu Bo stamred a little and seed nervous. “I wanted to ask you when I can leave this place with Blackie. I’ve asked them but they ignored ...”
Leave?
Xiang Wan smiled.
He was so naive, totally a simpleton.
He had even admitted to killing people, and he thought he could leave the police station.
Xiang Wan kept quiet for a while. “Do you still have anything else to say?”
“Oh,” replied Yu Bo, “what do you want to say?”
“For instance, why did you kill people in Xi City? How did you kill them?”
Yu Bo’s eyebrows crinkled when he thought about this. “I can’t talk about this,” he blushed a little, “it’s shaful...”
Xiang Wan said seriously, “Is it because those girls did not wear their clothes properly?”
Yu Bo stared at her with eyes wide-opened. “How did you know?”
Xiang Wan did not answer him but continued to ask another question. “Are the girls pretty?”
Yu Bo nodded his head heavily. “Yeah, they’re pretty... But they’re not as pretty as you.”
“...”
This complint did not co at the right ti.
Xiang Wan did not feel anything at all.
She asked, “Who is the one who brought you to et these girls?”
Yu Bo spoke in rapid-fire succession. “It’s that, that, that ng Chi.”
He replied without any hesitation.
Xiang Wan took a glance at Quan Shaoteng.
Then, she carried on chatting with Yu Bo. “Can you share with the details?”
Yu Bo felt a little suffocated.
“It’s the sa,” said Xiang Wan, “no matter if you tell or not, the end result will be the sa, but if you share with , you and Blackie will actually feel more comfortable...”
Yu Bo licked his lips, his gaze was flashing slightly.
“Uncle locked up in the basent and I was feeling frustrated. That night, Liang brought dinner and I begged him. He was my mom’s relative, and he would often co to my house... He sympathized with a lot and pretended to forget to lock the door, so I could escape...”
“And?”
“I t ng Chi, he brought to Xi City and let play a ga with those girls... If I listen to him, he can give a lot of money...”
As he said that, he lowered his head.
Xiang Wan asked in a low tone. “What kind of ga is that?”
Yu Bo seed to struggle whether to speak or not. “Those girls tied themselves up...” he said haltingly, “I have to... to strangle them, strangle their neck... we’ve already agreed beforehand that they have to shout if it gets too uncomfortable... but they never shouted...”
Xiang Wan looked at him with a puzzled expression. “...”
Quan Shaoteng chid in, “Their mouths were gagged, of course they were unable to shout at all!”
Yu Bo was afraid of him and glanced over at Xiang Wan nervously.
Xiang Wan smiled. “Don’t worry, he’s a dimwit. You can continue.”
Quan Shaoteng looked at Xiang Wan unhappily.
Yu Bo was a little frightened by Quan Shaoteng.
He stopped talking.
Xiang Wan sent a displeased glance at Quan Shaoteng. “So, you did not want to kill them, right?”
Yu Bo looked at Quan Shaoteng, still feeling a little frightened. “I didn’t know that they’d actually die... I thought it’s just a ga...”
Xiang Wan spoke in a llow voice. “How did you know that they had died?”
Yu Bo shrank his neck and curled his body.
“ng Chi said I killed them and even took a video of it. He asked to quickly run away... but he didn’t give , didn’t give money...”
Xiang Wan spoke with the sa gentleness in her tone. “So you ran away?”
Yu Bo nodded his head. “Yes, but before I managed to run far, uncle caught . He asked Liang to bring many n to Xi City to take back...”
It was Liang again.
A dead man who could tell no tale...
Xiang Wan thought of those n whom she t at the hotpot restaurant in Xi City.
“That’s why you hate ng Chi?”
“Mm,” responded Yu Bo.
“I hate him... Mom’s dead.”
These two sentences did not seem to have a connection.
However, if what Yu Bo said was true, had “ng Chi” not suddenly intervene, why would he have a conflict with his mom?
“Do you regret... killing mom accidentally?”
“I, it’s not an accident.” Yu Bo hung his head really low. “Mom locked up in the room and refused to let out... I got really angry. She said I’m a simpleton... that I’d get deceived if I go to the city... I got even angrier. That’s why I hid behind the door when she brought dinner. I... used her clothes to strangle her and asked her if she would let go to the city...”
“...”
This was too heavy.
Xiang Wan couldn’t say another word. She just looked at Yu Bo.
He continued, his tone dull and listless, but his eyes were reddened. “Mom shook her head. She kept shaking her head... when I saw that she still refused to open her mouth, I got reminded that she hit frequently... I got so angry that I used a lot of strength...”
Quan Shaoteng gritted his teeth and chid in again. “You’re strangling her neck. She couldn’t say a single word besides shaking her head!”
“...”
Another silence!
This person could end the chat in just a sentence.
Xiang Wan sighed inside her head. “What happened later?”
“I ran away... I don’t know if she died. I thought she just fainted since she didn’t chase after ... But Liang ca; he told that she died... Liang helped think of an excuse that my mom had hanged herself... We had an agreent that both of us would keep this a secret... We cannot tell anyone about this...”
“...!”
The account he told Xiang Wan was consistent.
It did not seem to have any loopholes.
However, Xiang Wan found it difficult to accept that.
She couldn’t accept the fact that the murderer of the 121 case was actually Yu Bo.
On the journey back to Nanmu Hotel, Quan Shaoteng mocked her.
“It’s not that you refuse to admit that Yu Bo is the murderer, you just couldn’t accept the fact that you made a wrong deduction!”
“... Am I that kind of person?” Xiang Wan swept a glance at him.
“Hurhur!” Quan Shaoteng laughed but did not say another word.
“This child is really pitiful! Not only is he ntally challenged,” explained Xiang Wan, “but he’s also now an orphan...”
“I’m also an orphan,” Quan Shaoteng chuckled. “Earlier, you said I’m a dimwit, but you didn’t show any sympathy to at all?”
Xiang Wan swept a glance at him.
He had no parents?
