Just as Jiang Chen was deep in thought, Li Jian quickly turned around and headed towards the family compound.

Since damage has been found on the body, it strongly suggests that the process of death is questionable.

According to preliminary investigations, the deceased lived with his newlywed wife, Zhang Qian.

In this situation, his wife is very likely to be in the know.

All we need to do next is control his wife, and then everything that happened last night will become clear.

Even now, Li Jian is deeply suspicious that his wife, Zhang Qian, is very likely the culprit.

As a criminal investigation team leader, he was quite capable and naturally understood the logic behind it.

Therefore, the most urgent and important task is to quickly bring his wife, Zhang Qian, under control.

One minute later, Li Jian suddenly rushed into the family compound.

At this moment, there were not as many family members in the courtyard as before; it was mainly the immediate family members of both sides present.

From a distance, I saw a young woman with a pretty face, dressed in black, sitting by the door.

He walked over and quickly said, "Zhang Qian."

Upon hearing this, the woman suddenly stood up, almost falling over.

She asked, "What's wrong?"

"You're asking me? I'll ask you instead, how did your husband, Wang Jun, die?"

"Wasn't it already confirmed that he died from suffocation due to his nose being blocked?"

"I'll ask you one more time, how did your husband, Wang Jun, die?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed across the woman's face.

However, her biological parents quickly stepped forward and said, "What do you mean? My daughter just got married, and suddenly her husband died. What do you mean by this?"

"Yeah, what does that mean?"

Suddenly, several of the woman's family members came forward.

Li Jian was very excited. He quickly waved his hand and said, "You guys all stay away. I'm asking Zhang Qian, not you."

"Who are we? We're family members!"

"I'm his brother."

"I am his second uncle."

"I don't care who you are, we police officers are investigating a case."

Then, ignoring the reactions of others, Li Jian asked again, "Zhang Qian, I'll ask you one last time, how exactly did your husband die last night?"

At this moment, Wang Jun's family members, who were standing not far away, also came over. Their three questions had already aroused some suspicion among the man's family members.

"What happened? Did your autopsy reveal any other problems?"

Soon, Wang Jun's mother looked at Zhang Qian and said, "Qianqian, say something!"

"What exactly happened? He just died suddenly, we need to find out!"

"Tell this comrade everything immediately, whatever your situation is, and don't hide anything."

Suddenly, everyone's eyes and attention were focused on Zhang Qian.

Zhang Qian looked around, tears welling up in her eyes and streaming down her face.

She immediately cried and said, "Mommy..."

Wang Jun's father immediately asked sternly, "What exactly happened?"

At this moment, he had lost his composure and became extremely agitated.

Since he already knew there was something wrong with this, and now that he was looking for Zhang Qian, she must be involved.

He quickly stepped forward and said, "Zhang Qian, we've married you properly, so don't hide anything from us, or I won't let you off the hook."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qian burst into tears and said, "Dad, it's mainly because Wang Jun got drunk last night. He went out to use the restroom in the middle of the night and suddenly tripped and fell. After the fall, he said he was fine, but he died the next day. I really didn't know."

"Did you trip and fall?"

"Where did you fall?"

"When did you fall?"

"Did you vomit where you fell?"

Li Jian asked a series of questions.

As he asked the question, Jiang Chen's analysis was also flashing through his mind.

Based on his arrival, it is still uncertain whether these damages were caused by a deliberate attack.

If it is determined that there was a fall, then it is entirely possible that the final result will occur.

At this moment, Zhang Qian hurriedly cried and said, "It's right there in the vegetable garden by the house. If you don't believe me, go and see for yourselves."

At this point, Li Jian was also half-believing and half-doubting. After all, he initially believed that there was something wrong with the death, mainly because of the back injury. Now, there was a conventional and reasonable explanation for the back injury—a fall. Wouldn't that reduce the suspicion of this case?

With a skeptical attitude, he quickly said, "Come on, take us there to see!"

Soon, Zhang Qian led everyone to the back of the house.

Standing next to a rock, she pointed and said, "It's this rock. He tripped and fell here last night, and then vomited next to it."

Li Jian looked in the direction he was pointing and indeed found a small amount of vomit on a patch of grass.

Furthermore, there was a relatively sharp stone right next to the vomit.

Upon seeing this, Li Jian's heart suddenly pounded. Could it really be like this?

At that moment, Wang Jun's parents stared straight at the stone, their grief intensifying.

His father quickly said, "Then why didn't you take him to the hospital after he was injured last night?"

"Exactly, why not go to the hospital?"

Wang Jun's mother also came up and scolded him.

Zhang Qian sobbed, "It's all my fault."

"He said there was nothing wrong last night, but I didn't expect that he would be in such a bad state when he woke up the next morning. If I had known, I would have definitely taken him to the hospital."

At this moment, Zhang Qian's mother said reproachfully, "Qianqian, look how careless you were."

"He was drunk, and probably not even fully conscious. If we had known to take him to the hospital, this wouldn't have happened."

"Look how bad this is, she's a widow at such a young age."

Hearing the crowd start discussing, everyone focused their criticism on Zhang Qian.

Zhang Qian said innocently, "I didn't expect it to be this serious."

"After he vomited and went back home, I thought there was nothing wrong, but the next day... sob sob sob."

At this moment, Li Jian was keeping a close eye on Zhang Qian's performance.

Judging from her expression, she must be feeling sad right now, and the tears on her face are genuine.

Is it really as she said?

Did Wang Jun break his ribs after falling and vomiting while using the restroom here after drinking at night?

Just as Li Jian was hesitating, Jiang Chen's voice suddenly came from behind him.

"She's lying! Wang Jun's injuries weren't caused by a fall at all."
