"They always say that they're busy with work and lose their temper when something happens. They have no patience at all. Take the time when my wife was murdered for example. In the past, we would go to my parents' place on weekends, and we would go together as a family of three. "
Han Bin had read Cheng Jiwen's statement that year. There were some basic details, and he just wanted to add some more questions.
"Once, we went to a restaurant for dinner. In the afternoon, my wife and I felt a little uncomfortable in our stomachs, so we went to the hospital for a checkup. I'm fine, I just ate something dirty and had diarrhea."
Cheng Jiwen's tone softened, "Officer Han, I'm sorry. I was too agitated just now."
"After learning the news, our family was furious. We often eat at that restaurant, and it's a chain restaurant. We trusted that restaurant a lot, so we never expected this to happen."
Cheng Jiwen slapped his forehead and sighed, "It's been two years. I have to think about it."
After smoking a cigarette, Cheng Jiwen's mood also calmed down, "Officer Han, the police asked me to make a statement back then, and I told them everything that I know. Even if you give me a new statement, that's all I know. Furthermore, it's been so long, and my memory isn't very clear. "
"What bad news?"
Cheng Jiwen frowned and went silent for a moment, "Officer Han, I don't understand what you're saying."
Cheng Jiwen nodded, "Alright, go ahead."
Cheng Jiwen helplessly said, "Two years ago, I also thought that the case was over. I always thought that it was a coincidence. Who hated my wife so much that they actually hired a killer?!"
"That's how the world is. If you don't cherish it when you get it, it might be too late when you really want to cherish it."
"I taught chemistry in Laiping No.1 Middle School. Later on, something happened to my wife, and I didn't want to stay there anymore. So I brought my daughter to Qingdao City and opened a cram school. Although it's not as stable as when I was a teacher, it's relatively free, and it's more convenient for me to take care of my daughter. "
"That's right."
"This time, we will thoroughly investigate the case." Han Bin said seriously.
The hero that he was thanking just now became the mastermind behind his wife's death?
Han Bin asked, "How does your wife want to seek justice?"
"The murderer isn't a hero, and you shouldn't thank him. If it wasn't for him, your wife might still be alive."
"Who would do such a thing?"
"What happened? Tell me," Wang Yao said.
"If you need, I can give you some time to calm down."
"Which school do you teach at?"
Han Bin explained, "Different types of cases have different investigation methods. The contents of the statements and the focus of the questioning are also different."
"That's what she told me. I'm not sure if it's true or not." Cheng Jiwen sighed and lamented, "Actually, when I think about it, a lot of things happened during that period of time. I … didn't do a good enough job in the past. I didn't give her enough connections, and I didn't fulfill the responsibilities of a husband and father."
Han Bin would not let him go just like that. He said, "I have another piece of bad news. Do you want to hear it?"
"But my wife made a big fuss. She got food poisoning and couldn't keep the baby in her belly. She blamed herself and felt that she had harmed the baby."
"My mind is indeed in a mess," Cheng Jiwen said weakly.
Han Bin sat across from them and took out a cigarette to smoke. If the victims' families were not concerned, there was nothing for him to worry about.
"I can explain it to you." Han Bin felt that it was necessary to explain the situation to the other party. Otherwise, Cheng Jiwen would not be willing to cooperate with the police investigation. Even if he knew some clues, it was likely that he would not tell the police.
"Do you think the leaders of the Public Security Bureau will support me?"
"Even if the instigator was reluctant, he could only agree. After he helped Zhu Weichao escape from prison, he killed Zhu Weichao for his own safety. "
"Because of an accident, the child was gone."
"At that time, our daughter was also in primary school and had the ability to have another child. Gradually, we all accepted this child. From the initial anxiety to joy, our whole mentality changed."
Han Bin touched his nose. This thank you sounded a bit sarcastic.
Cheng Jiwen took a deep breath, took out a cigarette, and pressed the lighter twice before lighting it.
"Just a few months before my wife was killed, she was unexpectedly pregnant. At that time, our mentality was very complicated. At first, we felt that it was a problem and didn't want it. We even thought about abortion, but after careful consideration, we decided to give birth to the child. "
"Remember what I said on the phone. The person who killed your wife was not only Zhu Weichao. The accomplice that Zhu Weichao hid from is likely the real instigator behind the scenes, "Han Bin said.
Han Bin said, "I want to investigate this matter, so I invited you here."
Cheng Jiwen lit another cigarette and started smoking.
Han Bin confirmed, "So, she was worried about work?"
"Why did your wife miscarry?" Han Bin asked.
Han Bin noted it down in his notebook, "Do you know the reason for her abnormal mood?"
"I was fine at the time, but it was a huge blow to my wife. She lay in bed for three days. In the end, it was because of my daughter that she recovered. " Cheng Jiwen's eyes were red, and his voice was a little choked. "Now that I think about it … it really doesn't feel good."
Cheng Jiwen recalled, "My wife works in a food company and knows more about food-related industries. She teamed up with some customers who were also food poisoned and sued the restaurant chain."
"Of course, these are just the police's speculations. We need real evidence to prove it. This is also the reason why I invited you here."
Cheng Jiwen sat on the chair again and was stunned for a while. "You're not lying to me, are you?"
"Back then, someone gave Zhu Weichao a sum of money and instructed him to kill your wife and disguised it as an ordinary murder. After Zhu Weichao was arrested, he didn't confess to the instigator for some reason."
Han Bin said, "This is also what the police want to investigate. I can tell you one thing. According to my speculation, the murderer who killed Zhu Weichao is likely to be the instigator behind the scenes. "
"I asked her, but she said it was a work matter and she would handle it herself. I don't understand even if she told me. " Cheng Jiwen showed a touch of self-mockery. "She always felt that my income was low and I wasn't capable. She also said that if she were me, she would have been promoted to vice principal long ago."
"Not only did the restaurant chain lose money, but it also lost its reputation. It didn't take long for it to close down due to poor management."
"But this matter wasn't over. Zhu Weichao wasn't willing to stay in prison for the rest of his life, so he threatened to instruct someone to help him escape from prison. Otherwise, he would probably report the other party to the police."
Han Bin asked, "Why would I lie to you? If Zhu Weichao's murderer had nothing to do with Lin Qiuyun's death, why would I investigate this case again? Why should I reinvestigate this case? Wouldn't that be asking for trouble? "
Cheng Jiwen looked surprised. "You mean someone instructed Zhu Weichao to kill my wife?!"
"Especially my wife. She felt that it was this restaurant that caused her miscarriage. She wanted to get justice. For herself and for the child in her belly that she had never met. "
Halfway through his cigarette, Cheng Jiwen put out the cigarette in his hand and said, "I think about it carefully. During that time, she was indeed a little abnormal."
"But during that time, she didn't want to go. She looked like she had a lot on her mind all day and would explode at the slightest thing."
"Mr. Cheng, did your wife have any abnormalities before she was killed? For example, did she have a fierce conflict with anyone?"
Cheng Jiwen sighed. "It's been two years. It's not easy for me to make myself forget it. When will it end …"
"Later, we found out that many customers who had eaten in that restaurant that day had varying degrees of food poisoning. It was probably because the food in the restaurant wasn't fresh."
Hearing this, Cheng Jiwen was a little confused.
