Everything appeared to be falling into place at last. He Huijuan had invited Feng Bin over through a text ssage 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 ho 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 seed. 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 cri, and all evidence pointed towards his guilt. With the murderer apprehended, Li Weiyi could be acquitted. As Li Weiyi left, he appeared sowhat 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 agreents. It was evident that Li Weiyi had left disappointed and possibly not even expected to leave alive when he first arrived. Jiang He suddenly rembered Li Weiyis earlier words: Why dont you let 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-ga currency. However, further information was discovered after He Huijuans phone was found. The technical departnt of the criminal police found that He Huijuan was not just playing gas; she was also making money by helping others make in-ga progress. She could handle up to 20 accounts a day. Even after her death, many netizens still sent ssages 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 ho, and Li Weiyi did not ntion 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 sothing 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 soone who would treat her well. The company would continue to operate formally, and the employees would handle their work, providing enough inco 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.
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 take care of my parents.
Subsequently, Feng Bin lowered his head and fell silent.
During this ti, Jiang He had been scrutinising Hannah closely, and he had already deduced a few things about her.
Hannah was still clad in designer clothing and wearing high heels. Her face was heavily made up, and there was a noticeable colour difference between her neck and face, as if they belonged to two different people. Her fingernails were painted in dark shades of black and red, and she had applied crimson lipstick to her lips, which would have been alluring on soone else. Her hair was styled neatly, with mousse sprayed on it, giving it a well-grood appearance.
Based on these observations, Jiang He inferred that Hannah did not arrive directly after receiving the news. Instead, she took the ti to apply makeup, which did not align with what she had claid earlier.
Jiang Hes penetrating gaze t Hannahs, and she returned the stare. However, her first impression of Jiang He was not favorable. n dont need to be good-looking, but they should be well-grood. Jiang Hes appearance was averagenot handso or ugly, but not well-maintained either. Despite that, Jiang He did not seem to be bothered by it.
Throughout the past few days of investigating the case, Jiang He hadnt even washed his hair once.
Hannah, on the other hand, wasnt embarrassed by Jiang Hes unwavering gaze. Having lived for forty years and gone through nurous experiences, she had seen it all.
Hannah turned her head slightly to face Jiang He and spoke in a soft tone, I must look quite a sight with my makeup all over the place. Youre finding it amusing, arent you? Would you mind telling where the restroom is? I need to freshen up a bit.
Wang Chao chid in, The restroom is located at the end of the corridor.
Thanking him, Hannah pulled out a small mirror from her handbag and made her way towards the restroom. As she opened her bag, Jiang He couldnt help but notice a few items inside. He had always heard that a womans handbag was a bottomless pit, but he knew it was a re exaggeration. Though Hannahs bag wasnt exactly bottomless, it was filled with various items, mostly makeup products. He could even rember the brand nas of so of them.
As Hannah walked away, Wang Chao began to lant, Life is a funny thing, dont you think? We always seem to want sothing we dont have. Once weve achieved success, we start yearning for love. Its a vicious cycle.
Jiang He chose to ignore Wang Chaos lodramatic musings and instead inquired, Is that person outside the driver who brought Hannah here?
Wang Chao glanced outside and saw a dashing young man standing next to a BMW car, dressed in a designer suit and sporting black sunglasses. He could easily pass off as a television star. Wang Chao confird, Yes, thats the one. You recognise the car, right? It costs millions. That young man is quite sharp. Tell , when will we be able to afford a car like that? Its impossible in this lifeti.
When Wang Chao turned around, he realised Jiang He had been gone for so ti.
Through the window, Wang Chao saw that Jiang He was standing face to face with the driver.
Apart from his designer suit, the drivers leather shoes and slightly exposed belt were all from luxury brands. In particular, the watch on his wrist was worth about 100,000 yuan. It was clear that this driver held a high-paying job to earn such a substantial amount of money at such a young age.
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 mont, 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.
