Chapter 351: Cozy Time for Two Interrupted?
They left the Liu Family residence.
They arrived at the criminal investigation squad.
Tang Si summarized and analyzed the existing clues of this case.
In the meeting, Tang Si spoke calmly: "Chen Ruzhi and Liu Zhong, the relationship between the couple is not good."
Tang Si held up the divorce agreement in his hand: "Liu Zhong has already signed on this agreement, Chen Ruzhi has not."
"Chen Ruzhi pretends to have a very good relationship with her husband, always appearing as a model couple outside. Because Liu Zhong wanted a son, Chen Ruzhi disagreed, and they often fought and argued."
"Liu Zhong was still having dinner with the family before he died, yet there was a divorce agreement at home." Tang Si frowned: "This is a bit illogical unless it was a farewell meal."
Ningxia Chuan frowned and analyzed: "If it was indeed a farewell meal, it should have ended peacefully. Why was he killed?"
"Do you suspect that Chen Ruzhi and Liu Qiang conspired to kill Liu Zhong?"
Tang Si: "Chen Ruzhi grew up in the countryside, her former husband gambled and drank excessively, causing her much misery. After great effort, she managed to rise in status with her eldest daughter by marrying Liu Zhong."
"Not long after, she gave birth to her younger daughter Liu Linyue, but Liu Zhong always wanted a son."
"If I were Chen Ruzhi, I wouldn’t want to have another son either. Chen Ruzhi already had a good relationship with her daughter and felt that such a large corporation could be inherited by her daughter. Why insist on having a son? Besides, if the son were to inherit this big corporation, the daughter would definitely feel unbalanced, and if her daughter and son were unbalanced, the mother would also feel uncomfortable."
"But thinking from a different perspective, if I were Liu Zhong, I wouldn’t have a preference for boys over girls, but with the younger daughter not having grown up yet, being eager to have another son might stem from fear that Liu Qiang and Chen Ruzhi would bully Liu Linyue, even though Liu Linyue is Chen Ruzhi’s biological daughter."
"But for a long time, Chen Ruzhi did not take care of Liu Linyue, so the relationship between Liu Linyue and her mother was very distant."
"This seems like a family, but it’s already in pieces."
Zhou Liang: "According to this analysis, if the mother and daughter conspired to kill Liu Zhong, the motive would be the Liu’s corporate assets."
"Now surveillance shows that Liu Zhong was poisoned after drinking the water given by Liu Qiang. We need to prove how to confirm that the glass of water was poisoned."
Ningxia Chuan: "Traces of the water cup can no longer be found in the surroundings, it might have been destroyed. The only way is to search her for any traces of the drug, and how she administered it."
"Captain Tang." Ningxia Chuan looked at him: "What’s your plan?"
Tang Si: "What did Liu Linyue say?"
Upon being reminded, Ningxia Chuan immediately reported: "Just after returning, I wanted to report this to you, but since you were in a meeting, I didn’t say it, luckily you asked."
"Liu Linyue said that she was climbing on the windowsill herself and was scolded by her sister, saying that Liu Qiang did not push her or do anything bad to her."
Zhou Liang slapped the table: "I went in and saw it, how does this little girl tell lies with open eyes?"
Tang Si fell into deep thought after hearing these words.
Clearly back then on the windowsill, Liu Linyue’s expression was one of fear.
How did she suddenly change her story?
"Knock knock knock—" the sound of knocking came from outside the door.
Tang Si looked towards the doorway, a police officer walked over: "Captain Tang, from Liu Qiang’s side, the time is about up, she said if she’s not released, she’s going to see her lawyer."
Tang Si answered directly without considering: "Then let her go."
Zhou Liang was upset, feeling indignant: "This is the obvious suspect, why let her go?"
The police officer was momentarily unsure who to listen to, his gaze fell on Tang Si.
Tang Si coldly: "Go release her."
The police officer nodded and left.
"Why?"
Tang Si: "Otherwise, the game will not catch her, since she is confident to clear her name, let’s play along with her."
Zhou Liang: "What do you mean?"
"Just wait." Tang Si’s eyes were deep and dark, his aura cold and sharp: "She will have another act. She won’t let it end like this."
Ningxia Chuan: "Why are you so certain?"
"If Liu Linyue really saw something, at such a young age, threatening her to not speak should’ve been enough, not blinding her eyes."
"She has a rebellious and vengeful personality. If the police detain her and interrogate her, she won’t give in so easily."
A woman who can harm her own sister, capable of killing a person.
In her bones, she is mad and seeks excitement.
The meeting ended.
Tang Si: "Everyone rests early today, resume work tomorrow."
"Wait for Liu Qiang’s performance."
...
When Tang Si got home, it was already nightfall.
Song Yi was at home with dinner prepared, waiting for his return.
He carried a chilling aura as he entered the house, laughing and calling to Tang Si twice, but Tang Si ignored him.
His gaze directly fell on the woman in the dining room.
Instantly, the coldness on him turned to warmth.
Song Yi in casual clothes with her hair down, holding bowls and chopsticks to set the table.
Seeing Tang Si coming in, she smiled: "It’s rare for you to get off work so early today, is the case progressing smoothly?"
"Hmm, it’s going alright." Tang Si’s voice was hoarse.
He walked with somewhat tired steps and sat beside the dining table, the meal was quite plentiful: "Did you cook all of this?"
"Of course not." Fu Jingsheng poked his head out from the kitchen, still holding chopsticks: "My sister Yi isn’t that capable, I cooked them. I said we should have a drink."
"But my sister Yi said if we all drank outside and got drunk, she couldn’t carry us both back, so I thoughtfully decided to drink at home instead."
Tang Si’s brow twitched.
It’s this annoying fellow again.
Still, his expression remained calm, no extra emotions.
Fu Jingsheng not regarding himself as an outsider: "You two sit down first, I’ll go pick up Nuannuan."
When he reached the door, he turned back to look at Tang Si, not hesitating to praise: "A learned man, truly charming."
Tang Si slightly tugged on the corner of his lips: "Too kind."
After Fu Jingsheng left, Song Yi sat beside Tang Si.
Tang Si felt uneasy in his heart, clearly a cozy couple’s world, interrupted by Fu Jingsheng, such an annoying fellow.
"He insisted on visiting after returning to the country." Song Yi leaned on Tang Si’s shoulder: "Actually, to be honest, he knows you and idolizes you; it’s just that some egos aren’t willing to admit it, so he seemed distant."
"He is eager to drink with you."
Tang Si turned his head, smiled at her, voice low: "Is that so?"
"Hmm." Song Yi nodded earnestly.
"Let me be honest with you too." Tang Si began.
