Chapter 1058 Policewoman 139
Shunzi silently noted these thoughts down, "So, Wang Li and this Xiao Wang are already divorced?"

"They did divorce at the time, but it was too hard for Xiao Wang to raise his youngest daughter alone. Wang Li still had feelings for Xiao Wang, and they also had an eight-year-old son. With the help of both sets of parents, they remarried."

"That's why they say Xiao Wang is so lucky. Wang Li is so considerate of that child, taking care of him personally. I heard that when the child was five years old, Wang Li even specially decorated a princess room for him so that he would be happy and comfortable."

"The decorations were so exquisite, I heard that Wang Li arranged them all herself. For that, Xiao Wang is especially grateful to Wang Li. The couple's good relationship is well-known in the neighborhood."

"It's such a pity that this child is so unlucky. He has such good parents, but he still got leukemia. What a pity."

Tan You glanced at Wang Li's apartment building, and when she saw someone dragging renovation materials downstairs, she suddenly raised an eyebrow: "Is that place going to be renovated?"

A plump old lady nodded: "Xiao Wang wants to tear down that princess room. From what he said, Wang Li has fainted several times from crying in the room after the child's death. He doesn't want Wang Li to be too sad, so he thinks it's better to tear down the room and renovate it."

"Xiao Wang did something decent this time. After all, the child is gone, but the adults' lives have to go on."

Tan You stared at the building materials, and as she looked, a slight smile crept onto her lips. Shunzi understood, and immediately got up and headed straight for the construction workers and their cart.

Tan You also stood up and handed over her police ID: "Thank you, grandmas, for telling us this. If needed in the future, please come to the Luoxia District Bureau to make a statement. This is my ID."

The old ladies were taken aback. They took Tan You's police ID and passed it around to look at it before staring blankly as Tan You walked toward the truck of renovation materials.

After a long while, an old woman clapped her hands and said, "The police? The police have come to this house, could it be that something has happened?"

“They’re criminal investigators,” the more scholarly-looking old lady pushed up her glasses. “Criminal investigators handle murder cases, think about it?”

"Looks like the neighborhood's going to be lively again."

Regardless of the old ladies' gossip, Tan You's suspicions were completely confirmed after she examined the renovation materials closely. These removed tiles were clearly not interior tiles, but rather exterior marble tiles.

The selection of interior decoration materials is subject to strict national standards, and formaldehyde and other harmful gases must be within the prescribed limits. Marble, in particular, cannot be used for interior decoration.

Tan You glanced at the construction workers: "Where did you take all this marble from?"

The two workers knew that the people stopping them were police officers, and they spoke frankly: "It was taken down from the wall. When we were taking it down, we were also wondering why someone would put marble behind the wallpaper. The whole room was covered in it."

"And the floors are all covered with marble, with a layer of wood panels on top. I think the decor of this place is weird. But we're paid to do this, so who cares?"

Tan You nodded slightly: "Okay, Shunzi, you take them and pack these things up. It's just in time that Xiao Zhang and Xiao Liu are here, so we should also meet Wang Li."

In room 903, Wang Li was tidying up her clothes in the living room. When she saw Tan You and the others enter with two construction workers, she paused for a moment, but still gave them a friendly smile: "And you gentlemen are…?"

Xiao Liu showed his police ID: "We are criminal police officers. We've come to you to verify something. Is this convenient for you, Ms. Wang?"

Wang Li was startled but quickly calmed down: "Of course it's convenient. May I ask what you officers would like to ask?"

Xiao Liu looked at Tan You, who remained silent. Xiao Liu knew he was being forced to do it himself. He cleared his throat and took out a recorder: "I heard your husband's illegitimate daughter passed away from acute leukemia. My condolences. It's just that the renovations were a bit rushed." Wang Li paused. That one sentence contained a lot of information. First, an illegitimate daughter; second, acute leukemia; and finally, renovations.

Wang Li was good at disguising herself. She quickly looked up at Xiao Liu and said, "Officer, what do you want to say? I've lost my youngest daughter, and I'm already very sad. Nobody wanted her to be sick. Our family was very happy."

"Do you really feel happy?" Xiao Liu stared at her. "Your husband abandoned you for Qian Hongmei and even had a baby girl with her. Qian Hongmei abandoned your husband, and you got back together with him. Can you really treat this child as your own?"

Wang Li stopped speaking, trying to confront Xiao Liu with silence.

Xiaoliu didn't take it seriously: "Before we came up, we saw the construction materials that the workers were sending down. None of the materials were suitable for interior decoration as they could cause cancer."

Shunzi, now wearing gloves, brought out another marble slab. Wang Li instinctively stepped aside, showing that she understood this material was unsuitable for interior decoration.

Tan You watched as Xiao Liu and Wang Li exchanged blows. Even though the other party was usually good at acting, she was dealing with a criminal police officer after all. After a few words, Wang Li could no longer hold back.

Shunzi was astonished: "My goodness, this is a very long move. How much time must it have taken to plan and strategize?"

Tan You: "She can endure endlessly in order to get revenge. I'm just curious, it was your husband Wang Quan who caused all this, but instead of getting revenge on him, you took it out on a little girl."

"Although she was born with original sin, she knew nothing at all. It's a pity she died like that. Let's take her back; it'll add some work for Captain Qian."

Xiao Zhang whistled: "Let's go, let's have Captain Lu personally come and arrest him. You'll be the first one."

Tan You smiled slightly: "That's true, I've never personally visited before."

Shunzi: "Last time, Captain Lu, didn't you personally go to see Ding Hongxia?"

Seeing that the group was about to leave with Wang Li, the three renovation workers mustered their courage and said, "Our wages..."

Tan You: "Isn't Wang Quan still here? Go find him to settle things. By the way, you'll be coming with us too, we need to take a statement. Don't worry, it won't take you long."

Xiao Zhang waved his phone: "I've already contacted Team Leader Zhang. The person will be here soon. I even asked them to send a few extra cars."

Tan You looked at Xiao Zhang approvingly: "So thoughtful, you thought of this in advance."

Xiao Zhang beamed with pride: "Always following Captain Lu, I'm bound to make some progress, right?"

When the group arrived at the gate, Captain Zhang and several other police officers were already waiting. Besides the three construction workers, the elderly woman who had just been chatting with Tan You and the others was also with them in the car.

Inside the Luoxia District Police Station, after listening to the recording, an experienced pre-trial investigator led Xiao Liu into the interrogation room. Xiao Liu's questions had been rather brief; now the investigator wanted to get every single detail.
