The reason he did not notice this earlier was because he was misled by the reporter's interview video.
Wu Huai had always thought that the interview video was filmed continuously.
When he asked if there were any pauses in the middle and if there were any content that was not recorded, Ma Liping thought of something. "There was a time in the middle when Mr. Yuan went to refill the pot and they stopped to rest. It just so happened that there was a commercial break in the middle of the live broadcast …"
Wu Huai confirmed from the website and the radio station that there was indeed a three-minute commercial break.
"In other words, the three of you drank the first pot of coffee at the same time, but he was the only one who drank the second pot after it was refilled?"
"That's right!"
Wu Huai's mind became clearer. The problem lay in the second refill. This meant that the murderer had planned for Yuan Zhe to refill the cup a second time!
"Bring me Mrs. Yuan's statement from the previous interrogation!"
Wu Huai ordered. Su Qingcheng knew about Mu Chenyan and Wen Ya's personal relationship. When she saw that Wu Huai's focus was always on Wen Ya, she silently thought that the situation was not good.
After Wu Huai finished reading the statement, he clasped his hands together and said, "I want to go to the crime scene again!"
Wu Huai walked around Peace Mansion.
The scene had been sealed off after the last count.
When Xue Meiwei heard that the police were here again, she reluctantly came out to take a look.
In just a few days, this noble lady, who was usually elegant and pampered, had become extremely weak. She was so thin that she had lost all her features.
The only maid who remained supported Xue Meiwei. The woman's voice trembled as she asked
"Captain Wu, you've been busy for the past few days. Are there any new developments in the case? As long as this case isn't solved, the major crimes department can forget about peace. Tang Zhong has already informed the city leaders … "
Wu Huai looked at Xue Meiwei. When he thought of losing a son in old age, it was considered one of life's three hardships. Even the normally tough man had a heart of compassion at this moment.
"Mrs. Yuan, don't worry. Even if the city leaders don't pressure me, I'll handle this case well. Regardless of whether the victim is a member of a noble family or a commoner, they're all citizens. Solving this case is our duty and responsibility. "
Wu Huai's tone was gentle and his attitude was humble. Xue Meiwei was about the same age as his mother, so he was still respectful to her.
In fact, he did not join the aristocratic families and mingled among the commoners because he could not stand the arrogance and contempt of these officials and businessmen.
Xue Meiwei sneered. "Then I'll have to trouble Captain Wu! You guys are here again today. If there's anything else I can help you with, feel free to tell me. "
Wu Huai asked mildly, "How is Yuan Zhe's relationship with Madam Wen Ya?"
When Xue Meiwei saw Wu Huai asking about Wen Ya, she was a little excited. She widened her eyes and raised her voice, "Could it be that Wen Ya harmed my son?"
"No, no, Mrs. Yuan, you've misunderstood. Asking this doesn't mean that we suspect 温雅. It's just a matter of routine. We need to carefully interrogate anyone who is related to the deceased."
"Yuan Zhe had an accident at home. Everyone here is suspicious, including the servants!"
After Wu Huai finished his explanation, Xue Meiwei still didn't quite believe him. If there was anyone in the family who hated Yuan Zhe the most, 温雅 was definitely one of them.
How could she not know that Yuan Zhe had mistreated Wen Ya? The only person in the family who had kept it a secret was the Old Mistress. However, it was an open secret in Peace Mansion.
Although 温雅 had a gentle temperament, it did not mean that she did not have a temper. She was able to make the National Arts Commerce flourish. She was also well-known in the family of female entrepreneurs in Luo Hai. How could a woman like her be willing to suffer such grievances?
"Captain Wu, to be honest, although this daughter-in-law looks gentle and decent, she doesn't usually have a good relationship with Yuan Zhe. Yuan Zhe has a temper, so it's inevitable that there would be friction between them. Wen Ya is a dark and scheming woman. If this case really has something to do with 温雅, please don't show any mercy! "
Xue Meiwei had even determined that it was related to 温雅. She did not care about the relationship between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
In her eyes, her daughter-in-law was not someone she wanted. How could she be compared to her son?
Wu Huai looked at Xue Meiwei and nodded. "No matter who the murderer is, we can't show any mercy!"
Su Qingcheng sneaked over with Mu Chenyan. When Wu Huai saw Mu Chenyan, the corner of his mouth curled into a smile. "Miss Mu, you've really entered the wrong profession!"
"Captain Wu, you're too kind. Captain Wu, you're an elite in the business world. If you can become a criminal police officer, I'm just a layman who's just here to watch the fun …"
Mu Chenyan knew that Wu Huai did not want her to get involved, so this was the best time to show off her shamelessness.
"Miss Mu, don't forget that you can also be a suspect!"
"Of course I haven't forgotten. I'm following closely behind you and ready to be interrogated at any time!"
Mu Chenyan smiled.
Wu Huai did not utter a word and only cared about entering the West Residence of Peace Mansion.
This place still retained the appearance of the crime scene. However, the spot where the corpse was originally placed had been marked with a human shape with a white pen.
温雅 had moved to Upper Mansion. Qinger was not familiar with 温雅, but since 温雅 was here, she was very enthusiastic. In front of Old Mistress, they had a deep sisterly bond, and she often acted considerate.
Wu Huai patrolled the main hall before going to the dining room and kitchen.
"Miss Mu, is the Yuan Family's water supply system the same?"
Wu Huai saw that there were two sets of water outlets in the kitchen and asked Mu Chenyan.
"It's basically the same!" Mu Chenyan also came over to take a look. She pointed at the larger faucet and said, "Usually, we use this larger faucet to wash the ingredients and tableware!"
There was also a set of water outlets next to it. The faucet was slightly smaller, and it had a spiral water valve.
Mu Chenyan pointed at the small faucet and said, "This is a special water purification system that the Yuan Family imported from Germany. The entire mansion is equipped with this system. The purified water can be iced and heated here. This switch is used to control the temperature of the water!"
She usually cooked with Ah Fu in Hibiscus Garden, so she was quite familiar with these things in the house.
Wu Huai turned the faucet with his hand. As expected, the water that flowed out from the left and right valves was cold on the left and hot on the right.
"Can this water be drunk directly?"
Wu Huai asked. He knew that some of the children of the aristocratic families were so sickly and arrogant that they would not even drink domestic water. He could not stand those arrogant people, so he did not associate with them.
"It can be drunk directly. This water is drawn from the Hundred Meters Mountain Spring in Autumn View Mountain. After being purified, it can reach the level of top-grade drinking water. Therefore, we usually drink this water directly at home and don't use water from outside. "
Mu Chenyan said and looked at Wu Huai's gloomy face. At this moment, the man seemed to be deep in thought. Suddenly, he squatted down and opened the door at the lower end of the cabinet. He saw that the water outlet was hidden in the cabinet.
Wu Huai called out to Liu Qi from the technical department, "Xiao Liu, open this outlet for me. I want to see what's inside."
Mu Chenyan and Su Qingcheng looked at each other. They did not understand what Wu Huai was doing.
