"Your emotions have already told me you're not being entirely truthful! You'd best tell me everything clearly, or this place might not be suitable for you to continue speaking. We can go to the provincial department." I said sternly.
"You police are always so suspicious, thinking everyone has a problem. I admit, I didn't want to say anything just now because I had a dispute with him recently."
"Over what?"
"It was about my girlfriend. You don't know that Fang Leshan is actually a lecherous man behind closed doors. With his status, he shouldn't attract any women, but he's good with his words, I mean, in coaxing girls, not in his work. You should have found out that his performance isn't great, right? But he's just good at charming girls. The last time, I discovered intimate messages from my girlfriend to him, so I confronted him. Who knew he wouldn't deny it? Instead, he embraced my girlfriend and brazenly told me that she had been with him for a long time."
"After that, I went to his wife, but that woman, Yan Yeman, seemed to know about it all along and didn't care. Later, my girlfriend quit her job for some reason, and then Fang Leshan's incident happened. But I really didn't do anything! These are all coincidences, really!"
Wu Yuanzhou spoke with great helplessness, not panic, when recounting these events.
I asked, "Then why did you hide it before?"
"Because this matter could easily be considered a motive for murder, but I didn't do it!" Wu Yuanzhou explained forcefully.
Observing him closely, I noted his microexpressions were normal, not indicative of lying.
"Don't worry, if you didn't do it, we won't do anything to you. Besides this, is there anything else you want to say? Tell us everything!"
Wu Yuanzhou thought for a moment, as if recalling something, and said, "Recently, he seemed to really like watching Hunan things, because Yan Yeman is from Hunan. You know, like TV dramas, movies. Later, he even started to imitate their ways, I guess he liked spicy food? Apart from that, there was nothing different about him."
He liked spicy food? I felt this was unlikely to be connected to the case. I could only temporarily suspend my questioning of him. When I came out, Liu Yuning happened to be there. I asked her how her inquiries went. She said that Yan Yeman's two best friends hadn't noticed anything unusual before the incident. She could tell those two women seemed quite sad, and their relationship appeared to be close. However, they didn't feel any of the information they provided was related to the case.
When I mentioned Wu Yuanzhou, Liu Yuning said, "Doesn't this person have a grudge against Fang Leshan? Even if he's not the killer, I think it would be good to find his girlfriend!"
"I understand what you mean. I've sent a message to He Xin."
"You're faster than I expected."
"Of course, let's not waste time!"
After leaving the company, He Xin replied as soon as we got downstairs: "You'd better ask Wu Yuanzhou about it. I couldn't find this woman."
"Oh?" I turned back and went upstairs, asking Liu Yuning to wait in the car. Once inside, I quickly obtained a photo of Wu Yuanzhou's girlfriend. As I was leaving, he nervously said, "You don't suspect her, do you? Although I don't know where she is, she wouldn't be the killer!"
"No, we just find it a bit suspicious and need to investigate. Don't worry! If she's innocent, we won't bother her!"
"No, actually, I also really want to see Li Leto. So if you find her, please tell me her location."
I nodded, "No problem."
After coming down, I sent the photo to He Xin. This time, He Xin quickly replied: "This person is confirmed, but her phone seems to be switched off. The last signal location disappeared at... Isn't this the previous crime scene?"
"What?" Both Liu Yuning and I were surprised when we saw the message. A terrifying image immediately appeared in my mind. Could it be that Li Leto was at the scene at that time, witnessed the killer, and was silenced?
Then, the middle-aged man upstairs saw this scene, but his fear distorted his memory?
I wanted to ask He Qing about this, as he was an expert in this field. Liu Yuning said nothing, but from her gaze, I knew my thoughts.
We drove to He Qing's clinic. I had sent him a message earlier, hoping for an immediate response.
He Qing replied that he had asked his client to leave temporarily. This guy is really something; he does this every time I visit.
Upon arriving at the clinic, a nurse led us into He Qing's office and closed the door before leaving.
As soon as I saw He Qing, I said, "The situation is like this..."
I explained the case and some of the circumstances, then mentioned the man. He Qing pondered for a moment and said, "Without seeing him, I can't know his specific situation. Based on what you've described, this person likely has multiple personalities."
"Then do you want to come with us to see him?"
"Certainly. I've put aside all my current work anyway."
I patted his shoulder, "Good brother, with your help, I feel much more at ease."
"Have you two always been this close? He Sheng." Liu Yuning suddenly looked at us with a hint of envy.
I nodded, "Haha, guess. When my younger brother was away, we rarely contacted each other, but now he's back."
"So we have more time to spend together now!" He Qing finished my sentence.
"You really are brothers, your tone of speaking is so similar."
Liu Yuning smiled, but then her expression quickly turned a little sad. I was curious and asked, "Don't you have siblings?"
"Yes, but when it comes to my family, sigh, I don't want to say too much. It's a long story."
For some reason, when talking about her family, Liu Yuning's face was filled with sorrow. Although she was unwilling to reveal details, from her microexpressions, I knew her family was definitely not harmonious.
Noticing me staring at her, Liu Yuning said with a hint of annoyance, "You're not trying to peek into my inner thoughts using microexpressions, are you? You don't have to work so hard. I'll tell you, I'm actually a rich second generation!"
"What? You're a rich second generation? Hahaha..." For some reason, when I heard Liu Yuning say that, I couldn't help but laugh. Because no matter how I looked at her, she didn't seem like a wealthy person, except for the car she drove, which was a bit nice. But nowadays, more and more people can afford such cars; it's nothing unusual.
