In the end, Li Rui said, "I find it very strange. Since the relationship between the siblings is so deep, and Jiang Wei wholeheartedly took the blame for Jiang Hong, why didn't Jiang Hong consider Jiang Wei at all and refuse to plead guilty? If she didn't plead guilty, Jiang Wei would be sentenced. "
Zhou Yuansong sighed, "I can't answer this question. Maybe we're all thinking too much. It's Jiang Wei's own plan. It has nothing to do with Jiang Hong."
Li Rui thought for a while and said, "I want to see Jiang Hong and see how she explains it."
Zhou Yuansong laughed and said, "Xiao Rui, why don't you join the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Municipal Public Security Bureau? I see that you have a strong interest in solving cases."
Li Rui smiled bitterly and said, "Director Zhou, don't laugh at me. I'm far from professionals like you. I just don't want to waste the clue that I found tonight. Maybe I can find something from Jiang Hong."
Zhou Yuansong nodded and said, "Okay, let the driver take you directly to the detention center. I hope you can bring good news."
The Municipal Number One Detention Center was located at the northeast corner of the North Third Ring Road. Although it was far from the compound of the Armed Police Detachment, it was very convenient. They could directly go up the South Third Ring Road and go north along the South Third Ring Road. In 20 minutes, they arrived at the gate of the detention center.
The police officer who drove the car greeted the police at the gate of the detention center. Then, under the guidance of the deputy director on duty, the three of them entered the building and found a visiting room to sit down. The deputy director arranged for his subordinates to bring Jiang Hong.
After waiting for a while, Jiang Hong, who was wearing a uniform and handcuffs, was brought into the room by a policewoman.
Jiang Hong was five or six years younger than Han Shui. She was in her early fifties, but because of her natural beauty and good maintenance, she looked like she was in her forties at first glance. Her hair had been cut short. The last time Li Rui saw her, she still had long hair over her shoulders. Her skin was soft and tender, and her appearance was beautiful. Unfortunately, makeup was not allowed in the detention center, so the crow's feet at the corner of her eyes couldn't be hidden. She was not tall, about 1.6 meters, and had a plump body. However, women of her age would inevitably gain weight. There were very few who could maintain a slim figure.
Jiang Hong was very surprised to see Li Rui. She opened her mouth in disbelief. Obviously, she didn't expect him to want to see her.
The policewoman brought Jiang Hong to a chair and ordered her to sit down. Then she turned around and left with the deputy director, leaving only Li Rui and Jiang Hong in the room.
"Why are you looking for me?"
Jiang Hong asked with a gloomy face. Her eyes were full of hatred. She knew that Li Rui was the vanguard of the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Song Chaoyang, to deal with her family of three. She was caught because of him, so she only had a bad impression of him.
Li Rui had already sat down across from her. He replied, "Nothing much. I was just looking for you for a chat."
Jiang Hong abruptly stood up and said with disgust, "I have nothing to talk to you about." She then turned to leave.
Li Rui tapped the table lightly and said, "Are you not interested in your younger brother, Jiang Wei?"
Jiang Hong was stunned. She turned around and looked at him in surprise for a while before saying, "I know. You're also here because of that case, right? You're Song Chaoyang's lackey. He was almost killed by a car, so you got anxious and came to ask me. But what's the use of asking me? Jiang Wei was the one who did it. What does it have to do with me? "
Li Rui said calmly, "I don't want to ask about that case. I just want to know about your relationship with Jiang Wei."
Jiang Hong's expression was a little complicated when she heard this. She looked at him deeply and asked, "What do you mean?"
Li Rui smiled faintly and said, "I heard that you have a good relationship with your younger brother. You take special care of Jiang Wei, and Jiang Wei loves you very much."
Jiang Hong snorted and said, "Aren't other siblings like this?"
Li Rui smiled and said, "Other siblings are not as close as you. Besides, other siblings are related by blood."
Jiang Hong was shocked. Her expression changed and she shouted without hesitation, "We're not related by blood either."
Li Rui smiled and looked up at the camera in the corner of the room. He lowered his head and said, "Okay, you can fool others with your words, but you can't fool me. I already know that you two are cousins. Although you're related by blood, you're not related by blood. "
Jiang Hong's expression changed and she scolded, "Bullsh * t! Where the hell did you hear that from? Don't you know who you're talking to? It's clearly written in our household register that we're siblings. We're born from the same mother. "
Li Rui saw that she was so agitated and was curious. Didn't he just say that she was related to Jiang Wei? Why was she so agitated? He thought about what Han Shui said just now. She had never told him that they were cousins. But why couldn't she tell an outsider about it? Even if she cared about Jiang Wei's thoughts and feelings, she couldn't tell an outsider about it casually. Why would she hide it from her husband, Han Shui? Could it be that there was something else going on?
He didn't say anything and just quietly watched Jiang Hong scold and make a scene. He wanted to find something from it.
Jiang Hong scolded him. Seeing that he didn't have any reaction and only looked at her calmly, she seemed to realize that she had overreacted. She snorted and found a way out of the embarrassing situation. "Why did you have to slander our sibling relationship? Aren't you looking for a scolding? If I say that you're not related by blood to your brother, would you be happy? "
Li Rui said, "This is what your husband, Han Shui, said. I didn't spread any rumors. I just went to see him. He said that Jiang Wei told him about it when he drank too much. But you, his wife, never told him about it. "
Jiang Hong was stunned. The corner of her mouth twitched a few times and she looked angry. She said, "You're too nosy! Why are you so concerned about our family matters? No matter if Jiang Wei is my cousin or my biological brother, I treat him as my younger brother. What does it have to do with you? "
Li Rui smiled and said, "It has nothing to do with me. I'm just asking casually. Why are you so agitated? Let me ask you. Jiang Wei was adopted by your father. It's not a shameful thing. Why didn't you tell Han Shui? "
Jiang Hong pursed her lips and said stiffly, "I was afraid that my brother would feel uncomfortable if he knew. I was also afraid that Han Shui would look down on him if he knew. What's wrong? Can't I?"
Li Rui smiled and said, "Yes, why not? I heard that you've always loved Jiang Wei. You treat him so well that even Han Shui is jealous. But now that such a big thing has happened, why are you so heartless to push the crime of being the mastermind to him? Why don't you feel sorry for him now? He's so considerate of you and took the initiative to admit his guilt. He's afraid that you'll increase his sentence. Are you really willing to let such a good brother take the blame for you? "
Jiang Hong's eyelids twitched when she heard that. Her entire aura changed in an instant. She was a fierce woman who wanted to hit someone. Now, she was a kind and gentle auntie who exuded a motherly aura.
Li Rui was such a smart person. He immediately understood that his words had touched her heart. If he worked harder, he might be able to make her admit her guilt. He continued, "Since you love him so much, you should think for him. He has a family, a wife, and children. If he goes to jail, what will happen to his wife and children? Are you really willing to leave his family with three pitiful orphans and widows? Also, he listened to you and planned the murder. He's already risked the death penalty. He's done enough for you. Now, you still want him to take the blame for you. As his sister, aren't you embarrassed? If you really treat him as your brother, admit your guilt. Of course, even so, he'll be implicated by you and go to jail for a few years. When he starts serving his sentence, won't you regret it when you think of this? "
Jiang Hong was speechless. After about two minutes, she opened her mouth and asked, "Why are you so sure that I'm the mastermind and insist that I admit my guilt? What evidence do you have? "
Li Rui spread his hands. "I don't have evidence, but Jiang Wei didn't have a motive to murder Song Shuji. Before the murder, he saw you. Tell me, if we don't suspect you, who else can we suspect?"
Jiang Hong didn't know when her eyes had turned red. She said in a low voice, "If I admit my guilt, will you let him go?"
Li Rui shook his head. "That's impossible. Even if he's not the mastermind, he's one of the masterminds. How can he not be responsible for his own actions? Of course, he's attempted murder, so his sentence will be relatively lighter. If he behaves well during his sentence, he may be able to get out of prison early. "
Jiang Hong looked up at him and said coldly, "No, if you want me to admit my guilt, you have to let him go. If you don't let him go, I won't admit my guilt!"
Li Rui was surprised. After a while, he laughed and said, "How can this be used as a condition in exchange? Do you think the law is a joke? What do you take your sibling relationship for? What kind of person do you take your good brother for? Think about how much you loved Jiang Wei when he was adopted by your family. Think about the difficult times you and your brother had to rely on each other for survival after your parents passed away. Are you really willing to let your good brother be sentenced because of you? You're really … "
"Shut up!"
Jiang Hong suddenly screamed at the top of her lungs and interrupted him.
Li Rui was shocked. He saw her ferocious face and her expression was almost crazy. She looked like a tigress that was about to bite someone. His heart beat like a drum and he didn't dare to say anything else.
"Li Rui, you're not a f * cking human. You're so f * cking wicked! You've done so many bad things. You're even more shameless and despicable than Han Shui … "
Jiang Hong cursed loudly. Her voice was shrill, like a female ghost wailing.
Li Rui was embarrassed by her scolding. He said, "How am I wicked? What bad things have I done? "
Jiang Hong's face was distorted as she stared at him and shouted, "You're wicked. You're f * cking using our sibling relationship to talk about things. You're deliberately stirring up emotions to coax me into admitting my guilt. You're f * cking wicked."
Li Rui smiled and said, "I'm telling the truth. You don't have to be so agitated. Anyway, if I were you, I would never harm my brother, even if he's my cousin …"
