Chapter 91 The Ex-Husband

"I know I am much better than Wu Yisong at my job, but in emotional matters, I am far inferior to her. She can attract quite a few men by merely showcasing her charm, while I have to use money to keep them."

"Many of the senior executives in my company are good-looking men. I admit I also enjoy flirting with men, but I don't go too far. For us, it's a normal way of socializing. However, that dead b*tch actually pushed her luck and deliberately posed provocatively in front of me. At that moment, I wished I could slap her face and keep hitting her until her disgusting face was completely ruined!"

"Actually, even if that were all, she later took away my ex-husband and several senior executives from the company. My company was thrown into a state of paralysis. She opened another company in Fuming City. Afterwards, my ex-husband and I divorced. I have since been maintaining the current company alone, but because many core members are gone, the company is beyond recovery. If it weren't for Nian Qiwei holding it all together, I probably would have been insulted to death by creditors by now."

I interrupted Yin Yanlu and posed a question: "When did Nian Qiwei join your company?"

"He was always there, he never left. I originally thought he was loyal to me, but I later discovered that it was because of him that my company's secrets were leaked. He was actually having an affair with that b*tch Wu Yisong, and they met often. This is also why I decided to retaliate against Wu Yisong!"

"But you didn't need to kill her entire family, did you?" Liu Yuning asked curiously.

"Why not? She caused my ex-husband to divorce me, which led to my children leaving too. My home was destroyed, and her home shouldn't remain!"

"You!" Liu Yuning replied speechlessly.

"Do you know what happened with the case on the train?" I suddenly brought it up.

Yin Yanlu shook her head. "That case that made the news? That wasn't me. Didn't you find a man? Investigate thoroughly, perhaps the cases that happened to me delayed your progress!"

I could tell Yin Yanlu wasn't lying, which complicated matters. I stared at her intently. "Didn't you hire someone to kill Wu Yisong?"

"I hated her, but my original plan was to destroy her family first. I didn't expect her to be taken care of so early. I originally wanted to cancel the plan, but I found I couldn't let it go, so I proceeded with the original plan. After all, I had planned to kill Wu Yisong and then her entire family. I don't know if heaven has eyes, but someone helped me achieve the first objective. Ahaha, that b*tch must have hooked up with too many people, and someone came for revenge!" As she said this, Yin Yanlu excitedly slammed the table in front of her and laughed wildly, trembling all over. Tears even squeezed from the corners of her eyes, as if this outcome were a glorious piece of good news from heaven.

I didn't want to face this woman anymore. Regardless of whether she was involved with that mysterious man, we had to find him now. If it was indeed a hired killing, the man probably wouldn't act again.

In fact, we were misled by the first case on the ship. These two cases were entirely unrelated.

Leaving the interrogation room, I found He Xin and told her what we needed to do next. We continued to investigate people Yin Yanlu had contacted recently. Nian Qiwei had no issues and was released soon after.

After our investigation, we found no record of Yin Yanlu making any large recent payments or contacting any mysterious individuals.

Could the situation really be as Yin Yanlu claimed, that Wu Yisong had too many affairs and was targeted by someone else for revenge?

With no results from the current investigation, we had to broaden our scope. We re-examined all the surveillance footage near the train station and investigated Wu Yisong's personal relationships, not even sparing her hometown. Finally, we identified a man, and this man turned out to be Yin Yanlu's ex-husband!

This was bizarre. Why would he want to kill Wu Yisong? The answer likely could only be revealed once we found him.

We quickly obtained the man's photo and then issued an arrest warrant through Director Huang. We collaborated with major public security bureaus, police departments, and stations, deploying over 300 officers for a city-wide manhunt in Fuming City.

On March 24, 2022, at exactly 11:25 AM, the suspect, Zhou, was apprehended.

Zhou Datian, Yin Yanlu's ex-husband, had officially divorced her on October 2, 2021.

When we escorted Zhou Datian to the interrogation room, Liu Yuning and I faced him.

Without wasting time, we laid out all the collected evidence before him.

"Well, Zhou Datian, do you know why we've brought you back now?" I asked directly.

"Among all the people we've investigated, you are the only one who could be connected to Yin Yanlu and requires no reward. Be honest, why did you do it?" Liu Yuning also stated.

Faced with numerous pieces of evidence, Zhou Datian looked at the figure escaping the train on the tablet but retorted, "That person looks very much like me, yes, but you haven't seen his face clearly. Are you sure it's me?"

"Zhou Datian, stop quibbling. Before you were married, you were a coach at Fuming Special Forces Academy. We've thoroughly investigated your background. Do you still intend to deny it?" Liu Yuning produced another document and threw it at Zhou Datian's face.

Zhou Datian didn't even look at it and shouted, "So what if I'm from special forces? That only proves I'm skilled. But does the person escaping the train have to be me?"

"Heh heh, you're still trying to stall for time, aren't you? Someone witnessed you leaving the train station that day. Do you believe that?" I deliberately tested him.

"Don't try to trick me, that's impossible. That day I clearly took advantage of..."

"Haha, didn't you just admit it?"

Realizing he had slipped up, Zhou Datian immediately changed his tune. "I never went to the train station. You're spouting nonsense!"

"Really? Don't think that just because you understand the surveillance layout, we can't figure out who you are. You haven't cut ties with Yin Yanlu all these years. Perhaps you originally intended to, but later changed your mind and cooperated with Yin Yanlu to get back what was originally yours. You pretended to be involved with Wu Yisong, but this was all a setup you orchestrated for her. What I'm curious about is how you thought of killing her in that way. Did you see the news report about the ship incident?"

Zhou Datian fell silent, his face extremely grim, as if his most vulnerable point had been exposed, causing him immense pain. His lips were tightly pressed together, his teeth grinding audibly, but he refused to speak another word.
