Animal Detective

Chapter 98 Do you want them to just watch?
Shen Xin didn't speak; his heart felt like it was being squeezed, and he felt suffocated.

Eleven children, in a dark train carriage...

Just thinking about that scene made Shen Xin's hands and feet go cold.

Wang Yongde continued, "Xiao Guo told us that Liu Laibin fled the scene of the accident. If he goes to court, he can deny that he knew there were children in the car, and he can live."

"Eleven children! How can he possibly survive?"

"Xiao Guo said he wanted to kill Liu Laibin, an eye for an eye, but he still has his mother, just an old woman, and he's afraid she can't handle it. Besides, Liu Laibin is a bad person, he deserves to die, why should we pay for his life?"

"So he came up with a plan. He looked at the list of people who wanted to identify the body, so he came to us and wanted us to help him kill Liu Laibin."

"He said he had come up with a foolproof plan that the police would never be able to find out. He said we are all victims, we can't pay with our lives, we all have to live well."

Shen Xin came to his senses and said, "So you went to Nanjiang and managed to get into Liu Laibin's company? How many families did Guo Chunping persuade back then, six or seven?"

Liu Laibin was stabbed seven times, possibly by seven different people.

"Six families."

Now that things have come to this point, Wang Yongde made no attempt to hide anything, saying, "In 11, we went to Nanjiang one after another, and according to Xiao Guo's plan, my wife joined Liu Laibin's company."

“At the time, Xiao Guo told me that if we wanted the case to be airtight and the police to be unable to find out, we had to be patient, so we waited, and waited for two whole years.”

Shen Xin sighed silently and asked in return, "Didn't Liu Laibin notice anything at all?"

Five people entered Liu Laibin's company in 11, and Liu Laibin was murdered in 13. In just over two years, their enemy was right in front of them. Could these ordinary people really endure it?

They're just ordinary people, where did they get such great acting skills?

Like Murder on the Orient Express, the biggest flaw is that all the murderers had such good psychological qualities and acting skills that they could act perfectly and fool Hercule Poirot.

Liu Laibin's case is even more difficult.

It's unbelievable how they managed to stay together day and night for over two years without giving themselves away.

Wang Yongde snorted and said, "At first we were scared too. My wife's hands and feet were always ice cold when she got off work, and she was so scared that she was trembling. But after a while, we got used to it."

"Moreover, Xiao Guo's idea at the time was not only to kill Liu Laibin, but also to make him lose money and make him wish he were dead. So Li Weiqin and the others secretly sabotaged him, making his company lose money. During that period, his business got worse and worse. We persevered because we saw him worrying and suffering."

Shen Xin suddenly remembered that Liu Laibin's company had a great year, but started to decline in the second year and then got worse and worse.

That means the problem lies with Li Weiqin and his team.

With a business manager, a finance manager, and a technician working together, it's no wonder the company has problems.

And just thinking about that situation is quite terrifying.

Five people in your company are plotting to murder you, and you're completely unaware of it.

"So, after you managed to get Liu Laibin to pay back almost all his money, and then forged a contract to swindle him out of two million in bridge loans, you decided to take action, right?" Shen Xin asked.

Wang Yongde nodded: "That's right. During that period, Xiao Li may have gone a bit too far, so Liu Laibin became aware of it. After discussing it, we decided to take action."

"I was the one who impersonated Sun Kai. As for the specifics of how it was done, Xiao Li and his team did it. Anyway, Liu Laibin fell for it."

"Liu Laibin was quite happy after we made the bridge loan that day. He said he would treat everyone to dinner, and that we would go after get off work. So we started doing it."

"Anyway, the company is all our people. We can destroy the surveillance cameras, lock the door, and nobody will know."

“He was terrified and begged us not to kill him, saying he also had a child, only 4 years old.”

“I know her. Tingting, we’ve met her. She’s a very well-behaved child. She always calls my wife ‘Grandma.’ My wife liked her a lot at first, but later, whenever we saw her, we thought of Nannan. He said he has children, but what about us? We have children too. Does that mean our children should die?”

"Anyway, we started the fight. Xiao Guo said he didn't want us to get our hands dirty. He was alone and didn't care. So he stabbed each of us once, and he stabbed himself twice, saying he would stab his wife once too."

"And that was it."

Wang Yongde exhaled, his gaze calm.

Shen Xin and Ding Yuwei exchanged a quick glance and Shen Xin said, "You mean, the seven stabs that killed Liu Laibin were all done by Guo Chunping?"

Although the autopsy report suggests it was a single person who stabbed him, could they really have resisted having Guo Chunping do it when their enemy was right in front of them?

Or perhaps it was all part of Guo Chunping's plan.

From listening to what he heard, Shen Xin clearly sensed that Guo Chunping had not only planned this, but he had also prepared a backup plan.

For example, he perfectly fabricated the identity of the suspect Sun Kai, and through the testimonies of five people, he drew Qin Chuanwang's attention to Sun Kai.

Moreover, fearing that the police would discover something amiss, he did not leave Nanjiang. The others also left Nanjiang one after another after a long time.

And as soon as they met, Wang Yongde knew that Guo Chunping was dead.

So it's conceivable that when the group left Nanjiang, Guo Chunping already knew that if the police investigated him and then found the others, the matter would be basically cleared up.

That's why I reminded the five of their freedom to say whatever they wanted.

But is what the five people said true?

Whether Sun Min and the other four committed the crime is unknown, given how much time has passed since the case was solved and Guo Chunping is dead.

Five people could push all the blame onto Guo Chunping.

He plotted the murder, and afterwards, he chose to jump off the building, taking the secret to his grave.

Shen Xin shook his head, deciding not to think about that question yet, and asked about some other details.

For example, who signed the bridge loan agreement?

Wang Yongde openly admitted that the character Sun Kai, whom he played, was someone he had signed.

Guo Chunping said that the police might start by examining the contract and comparing the handwriting, so they couldn't sign it. If they let me sign it, I'll be fine, and the police won't investigate me.

And money.

A total of 234 million.

Wang Yongde said that Fan Huizhen operated it, setting up an overseas account so that the police couldn't find it.

After the money was transferred out, it was eventually transferred back to China and donated to a charity fund that helps abducted children.

The 34 yuan in cash will be handled in the same way.

Wang Yongde said that they did this not for money.

"Alright, that's the situation. Since you've found out, we'll accept it. My old woman is in this state, and I probably won't live much longer. I'll go join him then. You can decide what to do."

Wang Yongde got up as if nothing had happened and went into the house.

Shen Xin immediately called Deng Rong and asked him to come back and keep an eye on Wang Yongde and his wife.

Then the two of them went outside to report the situation.

The recording of the interrogation was sent directly to Sun Zhao.

"Ding Yuwei, do you think they're really just watching?" Shen Xin suddenly asked after reporting the situation.

Although there were reasons for their actions, Shen Xin also felt sorry for them.

But the law is merciless; if you commit a crime, you must pay the price.

So if they just watched and didn't do anything, then they were just accomplices.

But if physical violence is involved, the sentencing will be much, much more severe.

Ding Yuwei had obviously thought of these things as well. She pursed her lips and pondered for a while before asking in return, "Then do you hope they just watch?"

Shen Xin let out a long sigh, unsure how to respond.

For some reason, I also thought of Tingting.
