Chapter 432: The Truth Behind the Murder
"This video was dug out of your house. I've already had it posted online. You probably can't explain it away with just the word 'framing'."
"No, it wasn't me, it wasn't me. Where did you get that iron rod? You brought it to my house to frame me. It was all a staged act by you."
Zhan Yanxun suddenly became stern and said, "Liao Mei, do you think you can escape legal punishment just because you wiped all the blood off the iron rod? The police station's forensic department is not to be trifled with. A simple test will reveal that there is still Wang Jun's blood on it. No matter how you try to deny it, it will be useless."
Liao Mei's mental state collapsed; she knew she couldn't escape.
He could only slump to the ground, muttering to himself as if his soul had been drained, "No, it wasn't me."
Zhan Yanxun squatted down and looked at Liao Mei, saying, "You could have just thrown that murder weapon away. Why did you specifically buy a bag of cement and embed it in the wall? Was it because you were afraid that Wang Jun's ghost would come back to haunt you and you used the murder weapon to ward off evil spirits?"
Now that things have come to this, Liao Mei knows that there's no point in her trying to argue anymore.
She murmured to herself, "Wang Jun was a very fierce person before he died, and he's a very fierce ghost after he died. He kept haunting me. Later, I secretly went and found the murder weapon. I buried it in the wall, and he didn't dare to come looking for me anymore. He was killed by this thing, and he was afraid of it. With this, he didn't dare to come looking for me."
Liao Mei smiled smugly as she spoke, but then suddenly said sadly, "Unfortunately, this has become my death warrant."
Liao Mei had already thrown away the murder weapon, but she was afraid that Wang Jun's ghost would haunt her.
People back home said that the spirits of the murdered are afraid of the murder weapon. So she bought a bag of cement and embedded the murder weapon in the wall to prevent Wang Jun's spirit from coming to claim her life.
“If I hadn’t gone to get that murder weapon, you wouldn’t have known I was the murderer. If I hadn’t been so stingy, and had stopped the IV drip and thrown away the IV bag, you wouldn’t have suspected me. But I’m just that kind of spineless person. I can’t bear to waste rotten fruit or spoiled food. Even though I knew the IV drip would be finished in two hours, I still secretly called another nurse over to re-insert the IV.”
Liao Mei felt heartbroken. How could she be so reluctant to waste even such a small amount of things? It was all because of the habits she had developed over the years with Wang Jun. If there was even the slightest waste, Wang Jun would scold her, which made her instinctively unwilling to even dispose of that little bit of IV medicine.
At this moment, three police officers surrounded Liao Mei. They said sternly, "We now have reasonable grounds to suspect that you killed your husband, Wang Jun. Please cooperate with the investigation."
“I’ve always wanted to live a good life with him, but he keeps beating me more and more violently, and a few times he almost killed me. If I don’t kill him, I’ll be the one who dies in the future.”
Liao Mei looked at Jiang Qianhui and said, "I know you rich people have a lot of ways to find out where he is. He stole your child, so you will definitely beat him up. Then I can deal with him and clear my name."
When I got to the room, I found he had been badly beaten. He couldn't fight back, so I hit him hard on the head with an iron rod, just like when he hit me on the head with a bowl.
I set the house on fire because I had lived there for five years, sharing both joy and sorrow with him. In our poorest times, we couldn't even afford instant noodles. I would always just drink a little soup and say I was full, but I would still give him a full bowl of noodles. He said he would treat me better when he was better off, but he disliked that I couldn't have children.
But he took that five million, which could have clearly helped me get treatment. Why didn't he treat me?
He kept a mistress outside the marriage and gambled away all his money. I thought that with five million, my illness could be cured and we could have a child and live a better life, but I was wrong. After he took the money, I wasn't part of his plans at all.
He wants a divorce; he wants to dump me. He's having an affair, and he says that if she has his child, he won't have to pay for medical treatment. He says that someone like me, a barren hen, will be despised everywhere, and even if I die, I'll only be buried somewhere in the middle of nowhere. Why is he treating me like this? I've given him so much; why is he treating me like this?
Liao Mei finally broke down. Suddenly, he lost control of his emotions and smashed the portrait in his hand to the ground. The portrait shattered, revealing a yellow talisman behind it.
This is the scene where, after her portrait fell to the ground and shattered, she frantically picked it up and clutched it to her chest. Even though she was bleeding from the glass shards, she didn't care. She looked distressed and anxious. It was because of this video that so many people sympathized with her and empathized with her suffering.
That's why public opinion has caused such great harm to the Gu family.
But what was unexpected was the reason behind this seemingly touching gesture: a yellow talisman was pasted on the back of the portrait to prevent others from seeing it.
She wanted to suppress Wang Jun's ghost.
This sudden reversal surprised everyone. Jiang Qianhui looked at Zhan Yanxun; he had actually found the murderer in such a short time.
Everyone was misled by Liao Mei, even she herself initially thought she was a venomous snake, a double-crosser.
After all, Liao Mei had always been obedient to Wang Jun. She was a very traditional woman who only wanted to have children for her husband and attributed her husband's bad behavior to her inability to have children.
An oppressed soul will eventually roar.
Liao Mei was arrested by the police, breaking the local police record for the fastest arrest of a murderer and bringing him to the police station.
As Liao Mei was being taken to the police station, she grabbed Liao Mei and said, "Were my children in the room that day? Did you see them?"
“When I arrived, there were no children left inside, and Wang Jun was lying on the ground after being beaten up.”
Who hit him?
“I didn’t see it. When I arrived, there was only Wang Jun in the room.”
"You killed Wang Jun and then framed Gu Xunjing. How dare you? Who told you to do this?"
“Someone asked me to frame you, saying they’d give me money if I did. I want money. I want to cure my infertility. I want to be a normal woman.”
Although Wang Jun is dead and she no longer needs to have children, she still wants to cure her infertility; she doesn't want to be a woman who can't have children.
"Who told you to do this?"
"That's the man who claims to be your cousin."
Yang Guangyuan and Jiang Qianhui's eyes were tightly furrowed.
It really was him, that treacherous villain.
Liao Mei was taken inside. Zhan Yanxun, standing next to Jiang Qianhui, said with a sinister look in his eyes, "Without me by your side, you're surrounded by so many evil spirits."
Jiang Qianhui looked up at Zhan Yanxun with disdain in her eyes.
