Chapter 471: Accomplice - Turning Back (Part )

Six accomplices in the case
One Hundred and One Turns (Part 1)

"The person who called Guo Feng..." Jiang Mo twirled his fingertips with his arms folded, paused for two seconds, and slowly raised his eyes, "Chai Qing?"

"...Hmm? --Hmm." Song Yike chewed the hot rice in her mouth without any taste. She paused in flipping the rice grains, then suddenly raised her eyelids and looked at Jiang Mo in surprise. "I thought you would guess it was Chen Zuohui or Chen Zuoyi."

"Chen Zuoyi is not so cautious. Otherwise, with the previous experience in mind, he would not have dared to reach out to you after learning about Qian An's case, even though he has taken on the responsibility of Fu'an Xingcheng—"

Jiang Mo pursed his lips, vaguely feeling that the topic was not right. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Song Yike, whose eyes dodged for a moment, with some concern. He stopped talking at the right time, "Chen Zuohui should have been hindered by the bidding of Fu'an Xingcheng at that time. Even if he wanted to make this call, I'm afraid it wouldn't be him who called you personally... Although Song Zhiwen is very familiar with those bosses, due to family reasons, she probably doesn't bother to worry about these so-called "accusatory evidence" that may not be worth mentioning in her eyes. But Chai Qing... has been in Lanqiao Publishing House for so many years, and is basically half an arm of the two Chen brothers. In addition, Song Wanwan's book is very likely to be related to the fate of her cash cow..."

Jiang Mo leaned forward and said, "So you found Guo Feng because you actually wanted to find out from him how many demons and monsters are hidden behind what happened to Song Wanwan."

Song Yike obviously had an extra bit of hatred towards Chen Zuoyi. When he heard Jiang Mo mention the name "Chen Zuoyi", his brows suddenly furrowed, and he kept silent for a while, then nodded slowly: "Guo was afraid of death, so he basically confessed everything he knew... even though he had never dealt with him and only heard about him."

"For example, Song Zhiwen, who had evil intentions, randomly instigated a few words to lead the cyberbullying of my sister, made my sister's medical report public, and even secretly found someone to threaten her, Liao Fei and Qian An."

"Another example is Yang Wenquan, a corrupt official who was addicted to accepting bribes and had no moral principles for money. He also wanted to take the opportunity to throw dirty water on my sister."

Song Yike put down his chopsticks and smiled bitterly. He looked up at Jiang Mo puzzled, "... these scumbags... they deserved to die, didn't they?"

Jiang Mo didn't say anything, just frowned, holding the mineral water bottle, unscrewing the cap and then quickly tightening it, and asked a seemingly extra question in a hoarse voice, "If you hate it so much, why do you 'give up halfway' and go to jail?"

Song Yike was stunned at first, and then he blinked twice before raising the corners of his mouth unnaturally, "...drank too much. Just venting--"

"Xue Yilian was married at that time..." Jiang Mo interrupted Song Yike's improvisation, "You don't look like a bastard who got drunk and made trouble on impulse and then left Song Wanwan alone. Or... you can't judge a person by appearance?"

"…Everyone has their breakdowns, especially more than three years ago, I could kill anyone, so what's the big deal about getting drunk and injuring someone and smashing the guardrail?"

Song Yike licked his lips, swallowed dryly, frowned and avoided Jiang Mo's pointed questioning, impatiently picking up the cause of the murder that he had left behind, "...After I was released from prison, I stayed with my sister for a while. Unfortunately, she waited for me to come back, but couldn't hold on any longer. I didn't want you to find out about my sister's affairs too early, so I found that... Ding... Ding Renyi in the sanatorium, paid him money, and took my sister to the air defense pit in the mountains in the name of transferring her back to her hometown." Jiang Mo looked at Song Yike steadily without moving, and suddenly raised his chin and asked, "Did you kill Ding Renyi?"

"...Ding Renyi is dead?" Song Yike's eyes widened in surprise. "When? Because he casually issued a false certificate to someone?"

"Who knows?" Jiang Mo looked at the expression on Song Yike's face carefully, and waved his hand when he confirmed that there was nothing to hide. He did not go into details and continued, "After Song Wanwan died, you started your revenge plan."

"I just think it's unfair." Song Yike closed his eyes in pain. The ragged sound coming from Song Wanwan's throat, which had been sticky and torn by the ventilator when she was dying, and the blood flowing from the corners of her lips seemed to be vivid in his mind.

"My sister died in such pain, but those culprits are still at large. I am unwilling to accept this. But things were not smooth at the beginning. I spent a few years in prison. I must report my actions frequently. It is a bit difficult to get involved with Chen for no reason. I didn't expect that when I didn't know how to start, Xue Yilian mentioned Shanqian Bar to me, and...she is working as a personal secretary for Chen, so she can help - maybe."

"I don't know much about Xue Yilian's story. I only heard about her when I started working odd jobs at the Shanqian Bar... She had been trying to file a lawsuit to seek justice for my sister, but she didn't expect that her husband Yang Zhi would be involved and died under the wheels of a truck after confessing to fatigue driving and drunk driving."

The ventilation fan made a loud noise again, and the cool breeze that poured into the interrogation room was mixed with the fishy smell of rain and dust. The muffled thunder rumbled as if it was hanging over the roof of the Municipal Bureau building.

"I didn't drag her into this because of Tu Siyao's father's case, but because of Song Zhiwen's plagiarism. After all, she is also an innocent person. I just thought she had nothing to do with my sister's affairs... I didn't want to hurt her. At the beginning, I really didn't know the whole story of Tu Siyao's family. Including... her father was the truck driver who was paid to hit and kill Xue Yilian's husband." Song Yike paused for a moment, timidly raised his eyes to look at Jiang Mo, cautiously peeking at the barely visible tension on her face, "Tu Siyao... are you okay?"

"After bringing her to this point, do you still care about her life or death?" Jiang Mo sneered, looking at Song Yike's slightly tense expression, but he couldn't bear it and let go of his strength, "We have been rescuing her for half a night and half a day, it is certain that she will survive."

"I don't want to hurt innocent people..." Jiang Mo sighed unhappily, "So you dragged Officer Chen to the checkpoint on Chenghai Avenue on purpose?"

"Officer Chen's condition doesn't look good. I'm worried that he won't survive until you find me." Song Yike frowned in shame and worry, and imitated Jiang Mo in sighing, "I originally wanted to break into the inspection gate, leave Chen Rui there and run away, but who would have thought that Officer Chen actually contacted the other end of the checkpoint in advance, and saw my fake license plate car and let me go without a word."

Song Yike picked at the burrs that had accidentally poked his skin, then slowly put the chopsticks together and placed them on the lunch box.

"Officer Jiang, I admit everything. Can you let Xue Yilian and Song Yiting, who are not related, go?"

Due to work and health reasons, I will be working on another day~
"Now what is the most suitable thing? Getting drunk, traveling, or sleeping."
