I am a super cop

Inside the interrogation room, Xiao Lili's sobs instantly created a tense atmosphere.

Gu Chen knew that Xiao Lili was truly scared now. If everyone was completely unaware of her situation before, now it seemed that the police had a complete grasp of everything about Xiao Lili.

Seeing that Xiao Lili still refused to answer the question, Lu Weiwei reminded her again: "Xiao Lili, I'm asking you a question."

"I'm sorry, it was my fault." Facing Lu Weiwei's question, Xiao Lili lowered her head and said, her voice choked with emotion.

"Why? Why did you do this?" Lu Weiwei couldn't help but sigh.

But Xiao Lili raised her head at this moment, looking at the three of them while venting her dissatisfaction:
“I have been married to Liu Wen for so many years, and he has never cared about me. I even suggested that I have a child with him so that we could live a peaceful life together.”

"But he always makes excuses, saying he's too busy with work and doesn't have the energy to spend with the children."

“No matter what I say at home every day, he always seems absent-minded, as if his mind is full of his robot program.”

Sniffing, Xiao Lili continued, "I just don't understand, can he live with a robot for the rest of his life?"

"I married him because I valued his talent and felt that I could enjoy a comfortable life with him."

"After all, he hadn't even graduated from university yet, but he had already received invitations from many large companies."

“I originally thought that following him would really give me a good life, but he is too proud. He is just too proud.”

"He rejected the high-paying job offer and insisted on starting his own business. But where would he get the money if he was just a college graduate?"

"So he partnered with others to start a company, but he had no experience in operating a company and was easily tied to the company by others."

"Not only is there little to no salary, but we often have to pay out of our own pockets to cover research and development costs."

At this point, Xiao Lili covered her face with her hands, and couldn't help but sigh:
"I've been married to him for so many years and haven't enjoyed many good days. Whenever it's a holiday, I'm really envious of other families of three going to the park."

"I always thought I was a housewife, so I talked to Liu Wen many times about having children, but he just wouldn't agree."

"He also said that he doesn't want children until the robot is successful, and that children would only distract him from his research and development. I think he only cares about the robot; the robot is his child."

In the end, Xiao Lili also cried because she felt wronged.

Lu Weiwei sighed softly, and couldn't help but remark, "It seems that being the wife of a tech whiz isn't so easy."

"Isn't that right?" Wiping away her tears, Xiao Lili couldn't help but sigh.

"I am someone that others envy in this industry, after all, Liu Wen's abilities are quite well-known in the industry."

"But his fame doesn't make money. He works on projects that don't generate revenue every day, and he's often held back by the big boss because of insufficient research and development funds."

"He really didn't make much money from these projects. He always treated the company like his own home, but what did he get in return?"

"It's just that worthless reputation, but what about me? Ever since we got married, he's been demanding that I stay at home and not work. But I'm a human being too. I want a child. I want to stay home and take care of a child."

“But what can Liu Wen give me? He can’t give me anything. Sometimes he and I argue all the time because the research project is not progressing well. I’ve had enough.”

"So you secretly dated someone else?" Yuan Shasha said.

But at this point, Xiao Lili suddenly lost her confidence, sighed, and said helplessly:

“What can I do? I want a child, I want a normal marital relationship, but Liu Wen can’t give me either.”

"Later, in order to break this boring life, I started to try going to bars with my friends. Gradually, I began to discover that that was the real way to enjoy life."

"I experienced a thrill I'd never felt before in bars. Those young, handsome guys, all with eight-pack abs, would smile at me, dance in front of me, and even invite me to join them on stage."

"But in comparison, what kind of life do I lead at home? A husband who always comes home very late, and even lives in the office."

"All I do every day is cook and watch TV shows. I feel like I'm becoming a useless person."

"So, this is the kind of excitement you wanted?" Lu Weiwei said.

Xiao Lili sighed and said helplessly, "I also need emotional release. I am a human being, and I have feelings too."

"After being stimulated by my senses, I found that facing my husband felt like torture."

"So from then on, I often went to bars to relax, and gradually became familiar with a young man at the bar."

"Later, one time, I drank too much, and I don't know how, but that young man took me to a private room."

"But when I woke up, I realized that something seemed to have happened between me and that little boy."

“From that time on, I felt guilty, so I stopped going to bars for entertainment.”

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Lili continued, "But later I found out that I was pregnant, but I really don't know whose child it is."

"Because I've been with my husband a few times before, I feel it should be my husband's."

"What do you mean by 'should'? Your logic is so confusing!" Yuan Shasha couldn't help but complain when she heard this.

But Xiao Lili looked helpless and slowly said, "To be honest, I really didn't know what to do at the time."

"It all happened so suddenly, so I told my husband I was pregnant, and he was overjoyed."

"Although he always said he didn't want children, he was still very happy when the day actually came when the child was going to arrive."

"But then, a very real problem arises: what to do about the money for baby formula?"

"With my husband's meager salary, we really wouldn't have been able to have the baby."

"So after that, I started arguing with my husband, and in the end my husband gave in and decided to earn some extra money."

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Lili slowly said, "So, in the end, my husband had no choice but to use his influence in the industry to earn some extra money."

"First, I promised Zhu Wei's company that I would help them with their publicity, which means I would play a game with their robot at the Robotics Summit."

“But when facing the robot, my husband had to send out his strongest one. Only in this way could the power of Zhu Wei’s company’s robots be truly highlighted.” After a pause, Xiao Lili continued, “Later, someone spent 20 yuan to have a meal with my husband, and that’s when I realized that my husband’s reputation was worth so much money.”

"It was from that time that I realized I had a place to pay for my child's formula, and I started to look forward to the future."

"But I never expected that my husband would die from poisoning. I really don't know what happened."

"She's just gone like that, all of a sudden. How am I supposed to live now?" Xiao Lili couldn't help but cry as she said this.

Gu Chen shook her head and said without further ado, "Can't you see all this? When your husband found out he couldn't have children at the hospital, he already knew that the child in your belly wasn't his."

"You were the last straw that broke the camel's back, ultimately leading to his departure."

"I don't know." Faced with Gu Chen's explanation, Xiao Lili shook her head.

“I thought the child was my husband’s. I didn’t know it would cause him so much harm. Is it wrong for me to just want a child?”

Choking back a sob, Xiao Lili continued, "Yes, to outsiders, it seems like I'm immoral, but you have to understand, living in a family like this really makes me feel suffocated."

"Looking at my classmates and friends, they are all getting married and having children. Their children are growing up. Only I am left."

"From the moment she married Liu Wen and became the envy of everyone, she gradually became a laughing stock."

“I don’t dare to attend class reunions during holidays, because I’m afraid they’ll find out what I’m going through.”

After a pause, Xiao Lili continued, "Liu Wen always makes grand promises to me, saying that once the project succeeds, we will achieve financial freedom."

"I've heard this sentence ever since I married him."

"Now I understand. His so-called big boss doesn't have much strength at all. He just wants to find someone to take over and sell the company as soon as possible."

"Everyone knows this, I can see it myself, and my husband knows it even better."

"But because he was so closely tied to the company, my husband had no other choice but to accept it silently."

With a heavy sigh, Xiao Lili continued to complain:
"But all I really want is to live a normal family life with my husband. I don't care about his so-called ideals at all. I just want a warm home."

“But you shouldn’t mess around outside. You can’t use the failure of your marriage as an excuse to seek pleasure outside. If it’s not working out, you can ask your husband for a divorce,” Yuan Shasha said.

Xiao Lili paused for a moment before slowly saying, "I mentioned it before. When I found out I was pregnant, I filed for divorce because I didn't have enough money to support the child."

"But it was around that time that my husband probably had a change of heart, or maybe he felt that if he continued like this, there would be no future, so he decided to try to earn some extra money."

“I know that this is the normal way of life. Only when he starts to put aside his so-called face and dignity, and starts to focus on making money again, abandoning those unrealistic ideals, can our lives get better and better.”

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Lili lowered her head and asked softly, "Officer Gu, what kind of poison did my husband take?"

"I bought the rat poison in a small alley in Shenzhen," Gu Chen said.

"So that's how it is." Hearing Gu Chen's explanation, Xiao Lili wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and slowly said:

"So after my husband found out the child wasn't his, he decided to commit suicide, right?"

Faced with Xiao Lili's question, Gu Chen did not answer directly, but instead reminded her:
“Your husband Liu Wen is a man of honor. Since he accepted Zhu Wei’s money, he must help Zhu Wei achieve his goal.”

"So he chose to help Zhu Wei's robot win that sensational robot arena competition at the Robot Summit."

"Perhaps he felt he had achieved his goal, so he chose to go to another world."

“That’s right, that’s how he is.” Hearing Gu Chen say this, Xiao Lili slowly replied:
“He’s always been like this, obsessed with saving face even at the cost of suffering. He always makes sure to keep his promises.”

"It's precisely his personality that ruined him, keeping him tied down by their big boss for so long."

"But in the end, he's just concerned about saving face. If he had put aside his pride and given up his equity, he probably would have escaped his current predicament long ago and could have gone to a bigger company and used the abundant research funding to pursue his research and development."

"But now..."

At this point, Xiao Lili sniffed and continued:

"But now, I thought he could finally put aside his pride and do things to make money. I thought our family's life would slowly start to get better, but he left me."

As Xiao Lili spoke, she became increasingly distressed and burst into tears, burying her face in the interrogation chair: "I really never intended to harm him."

“If I had asked for a divorce back then and he had agreed, we probably wouldn’t have had much of a relationship, and he might not even have died.”

“But he’s just concerned about saving face. Before, when our relationship cooled down and we felt like we couldn’t go on, I knew he had the same thought.”

"But this kind of tech-savvy straight man is really obsessed with saving face, after all, he values ​​his status in the industry more than anything else."

"If people in the industry knew that his wife wanted a divorce, he would feel embarrassed, so he reluctantly stayed with me."

"But he had the courage to tell his best friend Liu Guang all of this." As Xiao Lili finished speaking, Gu Chen slowly added:
“You say he’s obsessed with saving face, but he had the courage to say all of this. He even told Liu Guang that the child in your belly wasn’t his.”

"You know, Liu Guang has always been your husband Liu Wen's rival, but he still said it. It's not that he didn't have the courage, it's just that at that moment, his heart was broken by you."

"I……"

Upon hearing Gu Chen's words, Xiao Lili was completely stunned.

She seemed unsure of what to say.

She was unaware of her husband's sudden death and kept making a fuss about catching the murderer.

But when Xiao Lili learned the truth, she was overwhelmed with self-blame.

Perhaps Xiao Lili just wanted a home that others envied; maybe ever since she married Liu Wen, she has particularly enjoyed being envied by others.

However, when her ideals and reality diverged significantly, Xiao Lili chose to respond with infidelity, ultimately leading to this tragedy.
