I became the police station's darling after I could understand what the furry creature was sayi

Chapter 224 Confession? A confession? Praising his love rival? Motive?
"Then who did they identify as the suspect?"

Nan Shu glanced at the three silent people and asked.

"The deceased's nanny, Qian Guihua."

Nan Shu was taken aback, recalling the woman who knelt on the ground on the day of the fire, begging He Ji to save people.

The two walked side by side toward the interrogation room.

open the door.

Through the window, Nan Shu saw Qian Guihua again, looking haggard with slightly red and swollen eyes.

Wang Yaqin sat opposite Qian Guihua.

"Where is the South team?"

Nan Shu asked in confusion, "I just passed by the office and didn't see anyone else."

"Oh, they've been making interviews." Li Feng opened a drawer and handed Nan Shu a stack of photocopied chat logs. "Here, this is the evidence provided by the deceased's husband and brother."

Nan Shu took it.

The preceding text is a conversation between the deceased Sun Wenwen and her husband Zhu Quan. Sun Wenwen said that she had noticed that recently there had been a lot less jewelry and cigarettes and alcohol in the cabinet. Zhu Quan told her not to overthink it.

A week later, Sun Wenwen sent another message, confirming that Qian Guihua had stolen the theft. She was furious and discussed firing her. Zhu Quan agreed, but suggested waiting a little longer, saying that Qian Guihua's son was currently hospitalized and that if she was fired now, she would have no source of income.

Sun Wenwen was kind-hearted, and seeing Zhu Quan's words, she didn't say anything more and agreed.

Qian Guihua seemed to realize that she had been caught stealing by the homeowner, so she behaved exceptionally well. Over time, Sun Wenwen stopped mentioning the matter.

However, during a casual chat with her brother Sun Wenzhao, Sun Wenwen mentioned this incident. Upon hearing it, Sun Wenzhao expressed his disapproval of his sister's kindness and suggested that she find an opportunity to fire the person and find someone with a cleaner record.

Sun Wenwen gave a perfunctory reply, saying she would, and then changed the subject.

Nan Shu's gaze fell on the time in the chat history.

Half a month ago.

"According to the investigation, Qian Guihua's son suffers from congenital heart disease, and her husband has recently gambled and owes a lot of money..."

Li Feng pulled out a chair, crossed his legs, and said, "Although the two are not directly related, it cannot be ruled out that Qian Guihua learned that Sun Wenwen wanted to fire her, and thus committed arson and murder."

Qian Guihua works as a nanny at the Sun family's house, earning 15,000 yuan a month, with room and board included. That's almost double Li Feng's salary. Thinking of this, Li Feng sighed softly. Once you enter the branch, it's like entering a deep sea!
Nan Shu didn't speak.

He put down the photocopy and looked at Qian Guihua across from him.

He neither opposed nor agreed with Li Feng's analysis.

The saying goes, "A little kindness is appreciated, but too much kindness breeds resentment." Li Feng's conjecture wasn't entirely impossible, but Nan Shu always felt that things weren't that simple.

Just then, Qian Guihua, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.

"Officer, I confess. I started the fire."

One stone caused a thousand waves.

The group all looked up at Qian Guihua, who had suddenly slapped herself in the face.

Wang Yaqin frowned.

"I...I really didn't mean to. I was just worried Miss Sun would fire me, so I thought I'd start a fire to scare them. But...I didn't expect the fire to spread so quickly. By the time I realized what was happening, it was too late..."

Qian Guihua covered her face and cried, recounting the arson motive and process in detail, which indeed matched the fire source analysis provided by the fire department.

"That... is all?"

Li Feng put down his crossed legs and stared blankly at Qian Guihua, not quite reacting for a moment.

He had prepared for a long and drawn-out battle, but before he could even sound the horn, the other side had already raised the white flag and surrendered, leaving Li Feng with an inexplicable sense of frustration.

Nan Shu narrowed her almond-shaped eyes, staring at Qian Guihua, and pursed her lips.

……

We arrived at the dissection room.

Xu Yunli and Brother Wang were busy, both wearing protective suits, and the exhaust fan of the fresh air system was running at full speed, making a buzzing sound.

Nan Shu didn't disturb the two; she just stood at the doorway, lost in thought. It seemed that being in this familiar place helped her calm her mind.

Nan Punian said she had a very keen intuition about the case.

Now her intuition tells her that this arson case is not as simple as it seems, even though the prime suspect has confessed.

"What are you thinking about? You seem so engrossed."

A slightly hoarse voice rang out.

When Nan Shu came to her senses, she saw that Xu Yunli had already finished and taken off his protective suit, his body reeking of disinfectant.

"I……"

Nan Shu looked at Brother Wang, who was still cleaning up in the autopsy room, thought for a moment, and then voiced her guess.

"Doubt against Zhu Quan?"

"Um…"

"If you have doubts, just investigate."

Xu Yunli's fever had subsided, but his voice was still slightly hoarse. Seeing that the girl was still a little dazed, he chuckled softly and tapped her forehead with his cool fingertips.

One touch and it's over.

"But what if it's not true?" Nan Shu knew how much manpower and resources would be wasted on suspicion without evidence, and it was precisely because she knew that she was conflicted.

after all.

From the current perspective, Zhu Quan has not done anything excessive other than having an affair.

Cheating only shows that a person is morally deficient, but it does not hold them legally accountable. Even if Sun Wenwen were still alive and knew about Zhu Quan's infidelity and wanted to divorce him, according to the Civil Code, she could not make him leave with nothing.

Therefore, to suspect Zhu Quan of murder simply because he had an affair is too far-fetched and lacks any evidence or basis.

Not to mention, Zhu Quan was out of town when the fire broke out.

Last night, Zhu Quan held Sun Wenwen's portrait and cried his heart out, and it didn't seem fake.

"No, it's not."

Xu Yunli paused for a moment, then asked, "Would you like some tea?"

Nan Shu was taken aback.

"Ok?"

"Don't you find it smells bad?"

Xu Yunli had just been processing the body's organs, soaking them in formalin. Even with the exhaust fan, a lingering smell was still present in the air, but the girl didn't seem to notice anything amiss; in fact, she seemed to be enjoying it quite a bit...

"Hmm...it's alright..."

Nan Shu seemed to realize it belatedly, raising her hand to cover her nose and fanning herself with her hand, speaking in a muffled voice.

"It does smell a bit unpleasant. Let's go, have some tea."

A smile flickered in Xu Yunli's eyes as he watched her retreating figure, his gaze darkening slightly.

Come to the office.

Xu Yunli took off her coat and casually draped it over the back of the chair. "Have you told Anian about this idea?"

He walked to the cabinet, opened it, and took out a tin of tea. "Phoenix Dancong, try it, I think it tastes good."

Nan Shu doesn't know much about tea. She can barely distinguish between green tea, black tea, and oolong tea, but she can't tell the difference when it comes to more specific categories.

Resting her chin on her hand, she watched as Xu Yunli took out a tea set and brewed tea. His movements were fluid and graceful, exuding elegance and composure.

"said."

"Then there's no need to worry. He's most likely already investigating."

Xu Yunli actually didn't want to praise his love rival in front of the girl.

But he was even more unwilling to see Nan Shu worry too much about the case.
