Villainous Sick Beauty Chapter 95

TL: Hua

---

As soon as Ye Rongxu and Qin Chaoyan arrived at the police station, they were invited to the conference room by an old policeman in charge of the case.

After they left that time, the police immediately conducted multiple interrogations of Qin Jingxu. At first, Qin Jingxu didn’t admit anything, but he was not a person with strong psychological resilience. Facing the careful interrogation of the police, his psychological defense line finally collapsed, and his words revealed flaws.

“He refused to tell the truth about Ms. Lin Xue falling down the stairs back then because he was afraid of implicating a case he later committed.” The old policeman explained.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t refuse to confess so adamantly. After all, at the time of the incident, Qin Jingxu was still underage, and he couldn’t be held responsible. And for Zhang Yun, who may be the suspect, he didn’t have much emotional attachment, so there was no possibility of him having to cover up for the other party no matter what.

“But it was only when his psychological defenses collapsed that he revealed a few flaws. After calming down, he became silent and uncooperative. Based on those flawed sentences, we inferred that he hired a killer to kill someone when he was an adult, but it’s not yet certain who he killed and who the killer he hired was, so please take a look at the photos and messages recovered from his mobile phone to see if you can find some clues.”

The old policeman said again, “The killer he hired should be related to one of the two cases that year. Catching the killer will inevitably involve other cases, so he refused to confess.”

“In other words, if we find this killer, can we find out the truth about the death of Aunt Lin and my mother that year?” Qin Chaoyan asked.

“At least we can convict the suspect and interrogate the truth.” The old policeman said.

Qin Chaoyan nodded and pushed Ye Rongxu into the meeting room together.

Ye Rongxu also looked serious, ready to carefully identify the evidence and play his part. For this reason, he also brought a magnifying glass and even wanted to buy a pipe for a full sense of ceremony.

But when he entered the conference room, he found that he had thought too much.

Photos and information have been imported into the computer and can be enlarged by the computer without needing a magnifying glass.

Alas, the stereotype of detectives.

He and Qin Chaoyan sat at the conference table together, looking through the photos one by one.

Qin Jingxu had a lot of photos in his mobile phone, most of which were luxury watches and cars and scenes of entering and leaving high-end clubs.

Ye Rongxu felt a little dizzy after looking for a while and began to yawn.

Qin Chaoyan maintained intense concentration, but seeing that Ye Rongxu seemed a little tired, he paused and suggested they take a break.

Ye Rongxu shook his head and clutched the magnifying glass in his pocket, insisting, “I’m a detective. I still have this bit of patience.”

After that, he opened his misty eyes and kept looking.

After his third yawn, Qin Chaoyan abruptly halted his mouse movements, freezing the cursor on the screen, and then the picture suddenly began to zoom in.

“Any findings?” The old policeman hurriedly leaned over and asked.

Ye Rongxu also immediately perked up and moved closer to the screen.

This is a rather blurry photo, which looks like a candid photo. The person in the photo is wearing a fisherman’s hat and a brown windbreaker. His face cannot be seen clearly, but he seemed to be a tall middle-aged man.

Qin Chaoyan hovered the mouse over the photo, zoomed in and out, and finally spoke up: “I have seen this person.”

Ye Rongxu and the old policeman immediately leaned forward and stared at the photo.

“It was when I was eighteen years old that he approached Zhang Yun, and it seemed that he didn’t have a very pleasant time because of some money issue.” Qin Chaoyan frowned and recalled.

He still remembered that Zhang Yun seemed to be a little afraid of this person. The man smiled very evilly and said in a strange tone before leaving, “If you don’t have money, I can only ask your son for it or find Qin Qijiang?”

At that time, he was coming back home from school on the weekend. He only saw them from a distance and didn’t hear much of their conversation. He just thought this person was Zhang Yun’s creditor.

Because Zhang Yun had the habit of gambling, all the money she earned from Qin Qijiang in her early years was lost in this way, which made Qin Chaoyan’s childhood especially difficult financially.

When Qin Chaoyan saw that scene, he thought that the man’s words “ask your son for money” were referring to him. He saved a little money by setting up stalls and doing hard labor at that time. Hearing this, he was afraid that Zhang Yun would take the money away, so he dared not keep money at home again.

But now thinking back, could “your son,” the other party said at that time, refer to Qin Jingxu? Especially since the other party later mentioned Qin Qijiang, the money he asked for would probably not be a small amount.

Ye Rongxu also stared at the photo in a daze, as if trying to recall.

When Qin Chaoyan was about to click on the next photo, he suddenly said, “Wait.”

Qin Chaoyan paused and turned to look at him.

Ye Rongxu frowned and thought seriously, “I also think this person looks familiar.”

Although the face is blurry, this outfit… where had he seen it before?

He tried to think back for a long time, and suddenly his expression froze; then he took out his cell phone, snapped a picture of the screen, edited it, and sent it.

Qin Chaoyan and the old policeman shifted their gaze to his mobile phone and saw that it was sent to Lin Jiaojiao.

Healthy Xuxu: [Picture]

Healthy Xuxu: Cousin, take out Auntie’s old phone from back then and see if there is a photo of this person inside?

After Ye Rongxu sent the message, he absentmindedly exerted force holding the phone.

When his aunt became comatose after the car accident, her cell phone was taken away by the police for investigation and later returned to her family and has been kept by Lin Jiaojiao.

Lin Jiaojiao missed her mother and often looked through the photos in her cell phone at first. Ye Rongxu was afraid that she would be too sad at that time, so he also accompanied her to look through them several times.

He vaguely remembered that there seemed to be a photo of this person in his aunt’s cell phone.

But if his impression was correct, why did his aunt’s cell phone also have a photo of this person? Is this person the murderer? If so, then the person Qin Jingxu hired to kill was…

Ye Rongxu’s heart was getting tighter and tighter, and at this moment, Lin Jiaojiao’s message came—

Cousin: [Picture]

Cousin: Is this the one?

Cousin: Brother, where did you get this photo?

Ye Rongxu immediately clicked on the picture, and sure enough, he saw the same fisherman’s hat and brown windbreaker.

The person in the photo seemed to be talking to someone, and the person opposite him was blocked by the building, with only some corners of his clothes showing.

It’s a wide-angle shot of a cityscape, and with the fisherman’s hat blocking the shot, it’s equally hard to see the face of the person in the photo.

There are many such landscape photos on his aunt’s mobile phone, and after taking this photo, she took several city photos in other directions.

The driver who hit his aunt was not wearing the clothes in the photo at the time, and after being arrested, he immediately confessed his guilt. The police didn’t pay attention to this photo, and the investigation direction was also focused on his aunt’s husband, Song Jinping. After confirming that Song Jinping didn’t hire the murderer and the driver also readily confessed his crime, it was finally determined to be a traffic accident.

But what if this person is the murderer? Was the accident still an accident?

Ye Rongxu’s face gradually became ugly. Qin Chaoyan saw the chat content on the phone and soon guessed the situation. He couldn’t help but hold his hand tightly and comfort him silently.

Seeing that they all looked strange, the old policeman immediately asked, “Who took this photo? Can you contact them?”

Ye Rongxu shook his head and said with difficulty, “It was taken by my aunt. She… had a car accident five years ago and is now in a coma.”

The old policeman was stunned and said, “Sorry.”

Ye Rongxu shook his head and soon cheered up again, saying, “My aunt’s name is Lin Yu. I forgot the name of the driver who caused the accident, but the police should have the case record of that year.”

“You’re right. I will check it out.” The old policeman hurriedly got up and went out. When he walked to the door, he suddenly turned back. “Well… you sit here and rest for a while, Xiao Zhang; pour them another cup of tea.”

Xiao Zhang is a young female police officer. Hearing this, she hurriedly stopped her work and helped them get two cups of hot tea.

Ye Rongxu thanked her, picked up the hot paper cup, covered it with his hands for a while, and finally felt less cold.

Qin Chaoyan hugged him and comforted him softly: “If it’s true, at least… it can be regarded as revenge for your aunt.”

Ye Rongxu nodded gently.

Soon, the old policeman came back with the case information he had just retrieved, took out a personal biography from the brown paper bag, and showed it to the two: “Look, is it this person?”

Ye Rongxu only recognized him as the driver who caused the accident but didn’t know if he was the man wearing a fisherman’s hat in the photo.

Qin Chaoyan took a look and immediately confirmed, “It’s him.”

The old policeman’s eyes immediately became stern. He handed the information to the busy female police officer and said, “Xiao Zhang, check the trial of this person named Fan Zhiqiang…”

“I remember.” Ye Rongxu suddenly said, “He was involved in a hit and run, and the circumstances were serious, so he was sentenced to five years and ten months, serving his sentence in Jiangcheng Prison.”

The old policeman nodded and immediately changed his words: “Contact Jiangcheng Prison and ask if this person is still there.”

“Okay.” The female police officer immediately contacted the person in charge, and soon, the news came.

“Fan Zhiqiang has been serving his sentence in Jiangcheng Prison. During this period, he was given a ten-month reduction in sentence for his good performance. It happened that he was released from prison this year… today?!” The female police officer was surprised.

“Hurry up!” The old policeman hurriedly commanded, “Hurry up and catch him; don’t let him run away.”

Ye Rongxu was stunned.

By the time the person was brought in, it was already time to go off duty. The old policeman simply worked overtime to interrogate the suspect.

But Fan Zhiqiang’s psychological quality is obviously more than one level stronger than Qin Jingxu’s, so it takes time to pry open his mouth.

Ye Rongxu and Qin Chaoyan did not continue to wait in the police station and left temporarily.

It wasn’t until a week later that the police contacted them again, saying that Fan Zhiqiang had confessed. Not only him, Zhang Yun and Qin Jingxu also confessed.

In fact, among the three people, Qin Jingxu was the first to confess. The police used Fan Zhiqiang to break his psychological defense.

Then it was Zhang Yun. After Zhang Yun and Qin Jingxu confessed, Fan Zhiqiang had to confess.

According to the three people, the first person to contact Fan Zhiqiang was Qin Qijiang.

When his extramarital affair was exposed, and Xie Yunzhao knew that he had several lovers and illegitimate children, Xie Yunzhao was so angry that she had a miscarriage and wanted to divorce him.

However, Xie Yunzhao held shares in Qin Group, and Qin Qijiang was in the midst of a crucial battle for control of the Qin family inheritance.

Although he is the biological son of Old Master Qin, the old man knows that he has no ability and does not want him to take over the group. Instead, he prefers to let a capable executive in the group take over, even though this person has no blood relationship with the Qin family.

Qin Qijiang has fought with this person many times, both openly and secretly, and lost more than he won. But because the other party wasn’t a member of the Qin family, he never took him seriously. He thinks that no matter how powerful the other party is, he is working for his family. He even thought about kicking this person out when he took over the Qin Group.

But he never expected that his biological father would choose an outsider instead of him.

Unfortunately for him, Xie Yunzhao also wanted to divorce him at this time. He couldn’t compete with his opponent in the company, and he was not optimistic about his biological father. If he lost half of the equity, what else could he fight with?

The Qin Group was founded by his father, and his surname was Qin. How could he give it to an outsider?

Qin Qijiang was furious at that time. He begged for the share in Xie Yunzhao’s hands, even kneeling down, but Xie Yunzhao was determined to divorce him.

In the end, he had no choice. A dark thought gave birth in his mind—he had to prevent Xie Yunzhao from divorcing him no matter what.

He actually didn’t want Xie Yunzhao to die. When he contacted Fan Zhiqiang, he said to him, “Just make sure the person becomes comatose.”

But Zhang Yun, who was a nanny in the Qin family at the time, accidentally heard this.

Just as Ye Rongxu guessed, Zhang Yun felt that this was a chance given to her by God. If Xie Yunzhao was gone, wouldn’t she be able to take over and let her own son call her mother legitimately?

She wrote down the number, secretly contacted Fan Zhiqiang, and gave him more money, saying that Qin Qijiang changed his mind and wanted Xie Yunzhao to die.

On the day of the accident, Xie Yunzhao’s car was tampered with. Because she was taking antidepressants at that time, everyone thought she was distracted when answering the phone while driving and got into an accident.

Only Zhang Yun knew that regardless of her mental state, Xie Yunzhao would undoubtedly die that day.

Zhang Yun was particularly excited but also vaguely afraid. However, she was excited again when she thought that the killer was hired by Qin Qijiang, and if he was really discovered, she could also blame Qin Qijiang.

She happened to take Qin Jingxu out to play that day. Thinking that she was about to become the real mother of her son, she was so happy that she couldn’t suppress her excitement. When she talked to Qin Jingxu, she unconsciously brought a bit of a mother’s tone.

Although Qin Jingxu was only thirteen years old at that time, he always looked down on the servants and nannies at home. In addition, he was in a bad mood that day. Seeing that Zhang Yun, a nanny, dared to control him, he immediately mocked and scolded her, saying, “You, a nanny, dare to control me? You are just a servant in my family. Who do you think you are?”

Being humiliated by her own son, Zhang Yun was stunned on the spot; the smile on her face froze, and the blood rushed to her head.

Her first reaction was that Xie Yunzhao had taught her son bad things, and then she thought, why should Xie Yunzhao, a dying person, compete with her?

She couldn’t control her anger and grabbed Qin Jingxu’s shoulders fiercely, shaking her head with excitement and madness: “No, I am your biological mother, not Xie Yunzhao. You don’t look like her at all; look, don’t you look a bit like me?”

Qin Jingxu, who was not yet an adult at the time, was frightened and pushed her away: “Nonsense. You are a lowly nanny, a servant. How can you be my mother? My mother is the eldest daughter of the Xie family!”

He kept saying “lowly” and “servant,” which deeply hurt Zhang Yun’s heart. Anger fueled Zhang Yun’s impulsiveness, and she directly said, “Xie Yunzhao is not; she is about to die and will soon be killed by your father’s people. I am your mother.”

After her voice fell, there was a silence around.

Both of them did not notice that Lin Xue, who left after sending Xie Yunzhao away, passed by this old shopping mall with little traffic and just happened to get off the car to come and find a restroom and accidentally heard the conversation.
