hapter 461: Fraternal Conflict

Song Yuqiang said dejectedly . "Wasn't that night my brother's birthday? I’ve been studying away from home all this while . This year was my brother's 30th birthday . I bought his favorite chocolate cake to celebrate his birthday . . . I rang the doorbell that day, but nobody answered . But the lights inside were on . I went round outside and looked in through the window . I was so scared that I dropped the cake on the ground . He . . . He had collapsed onto the floor and his body was covered with blood . . . I knocked with all my might on the window and called him, but got no response… I was terrified, so I came back quickly . "

Chen Shi asked, "Why didn't you call the police?"

"I . . . I was terrified . My mind was blank . "

"You didn’t even inform your parents?"

"How can I tell them this kind of thing?! They were still talking about Yuwen's girlfriend the next morning . They talked about it with so much enthusiasm . I was so worried that I didn't even know what the breakfast I ate tasted like . I didn’t know how they’d react to such news . "

"Song Yuqiang, do you want me to expose you? You'd better confess honestly now, or we can talk elsewhere . You saw the body but didn't call the police . Who would do this? The murderer!"

Song Yuqiang was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat . "How could I have killed him? You also checked that he was shot and killed . How can a college student like me find a gun?"

"Then why didn't you call the police?"

"How many times do I have to tell you that I was terrified?"

"I'm afraid there’s another reason . In fact, we’ve already found out, otherwise we wouldn’t be here . "

"You . . . Found out . . . " Song Yuqiang looked terrified, clutching his pants tightly . "I didn’t plan to poison him . I just wanted to prank him . The cake was filled with laxatives . You can get it from any pharmacy . "

What he said should be the truth . If there was really poison in the cake, the scavenger father and son would not have been so lucky .

"You were holding the cake with the ‘added ingredient’ in your hands and went to look for your brother late at night . It turned out that he was dead . You were afraid of being suspected by the police, so you didn't call the police . But the surveillance camera caught you and two unlucky scavengers ate the cake that you threw away . They’re now lying in hospital . "

"Huh?!" Song Yuqiang was shocked . "How could it be so coincidental? Are they okay? I'm willing to pay the medical expenses . "

"That's good, but why did you want to take revenge on your brother?"

" . . . "

"If I’m guessing correctly, you two fought a few days ago . I noticed the scabs on your knuckles . "

Song Yuqiang covered up his fingers subconsciously . "Forget it, he’s already gone . I'll tell you, so that you stop suspecting me . It was my brother who was disloyal and snatched away my girlfriend!"

"Du Juan was formerly your girlfriend?"

"Yeah, things happened a year ago . I met her at the club and we got along quite well . Once, she said that she had a toothache . I said I would recommend a famous dentist to her, which happened to be my brother! At the time, I didn’t know they got together . I was stupid and kept texting her . I felt like she was getting colder and colder towards me . I was studying elsewhere at the time . I thought she might have gotten a new boyfriend . Although I tried to persuade her to stay, in the end, we still broke up . I was upset for one whole month . . . ”

"Afterwards, when we were having our family dinner last week, my mother said that she would introduce my brother to a girl . He said that he already had a girlfriend . My mother asked who she was . He revealed some things about her . The more I listened, the more I felt like something was wrong . The time they met was exactly when Du Juan had a toothache . Of course, my brother noticed my reaction and then revealed to me that his current girlfriend is Du Juan . I got angry instantly and I beat him up, cursing him saying that he was worse than an animal, even snatching his younger brother’s girlfriend away . ”

"The more I thought about it, the more angry I got . I scolded Du Juan online . My brother kept texting me to apologize . Right on his birthday, I pretended to accept his apology, bought a cake, and added a pack of laxatives inside . I just wanted to let him have diarrhea for a few days and teach him a lesson, who knew . . .  Haii!"

Song Yuqiang recalled the past events with sincerity and Chen Shi felt that he was telling the truth . Furthermore, Song Yuqiang didn’t match the characteristics of the murderer . He asked, "Okay, we won’t delve into this matter further . Let me ask you something . Does your brother have any secrets?”

"Secrets?"

"Did he hurt any women in the past?"

Song Yuqiang was shocked for a moment . "No? I don’t think so . If there was anything, I’d definitely know . He tells me everything . . . Of course, my brother belongs to the type who refuses nobody, but I’ve never heard of his cheating on anyone or getting someone pregnant and so on . Do you suspect that this was a crime of passion? But the other party has a gun . The murderer must come from an unusual background . Could it have been done by the triads? But my brother is a dentist . How could he have offended them?”

"Okay, don't talk to yourself anymore . We’ll continue investigating the case! When is your brother's funeral planned to be held"

"It will be held sometime soon . "

"Leave me your contact details . I will come to offer my condolences . "

"Okay, I didn’t know that the police are so kind . Thank you . "

After exchanging contact information, Chen Shi asked for another sample of his fingerprints, and then asked, "What kind of person is your cousin Wanjun?"

"Her? She's our younger cousin . We used to play together when we were children . Later, she went to a boarding school and got admitted to a university in Australia . Now she’s studying abroad!"

"It sounds like her family background is pretty good . "

"You’ve misunderstood . Her family is relatively poor . Her parents are laid-off workers and have borrowed a lot of money from my family! My words might be a bit much, but it’s true that my family is pretty well-off and there are quite a few relatives who come to ingratiate themselves with us . My parents are also quite generous and often lend money to our poor relatives . ”

"It seems that your parents are pretty good people . "

"Yeah, they’re overly accommodating . My dad is the eldest, so he often helps his brothers and sisters out!"

"Do you have a picture of Shi Wanjun?"

"Why are you so interested in this . . . " Song Yuqiang smiled and took out his mobile phone to show Chen Shi Shi Wanjun's circle of friends on WeChat and her Weibo . There were many photos that she had taken abroad, and most of the Weibo posts were written in English .

Chen Shi wrote down the girl's WeChat and Weibo account IDs . He bid goodbye to Song Yuqiang . When they left the housing district, he said, "This kid was lucky . When he rang the doorbell, the murderer was probably still in the house . He almost got murdered too . "

"You seem to be very interested in the girl studying abroad . Shouldn’t she be the least likely to have committed the crime?"

"A recurring name . I will always pay attention to that . "

"Right, Song Yuqiang has been ruled out . That is to say, everyone who entered and left the housing district that night was not the murderer . The murderer was not recorded on the surveillance video at all!"

"She wasn’t captured on the footage, but she deleted it . How did she enter the duty room without being captured?" Chen Shi furrowed his brows in thought . He didn't believe that the murderer was an invisible ghost . There must be some kind of explanation .

"Let’s head back!" He said .
