Stepdaughter of a wealthy family? The little darling of a Beijing tycoon

Chen Wei frowned slightly.

He could tell that the other person was just a very young girl, yet she knew the details of the murder and the methods of concealing evidence like the back of her hand, with an almost eerie accuracy.

However, his years of experience in handling cases had taught him that he never dared to underestimate any clue. Adhering to the principle of investigating a thousand times rather than overlooking a single doubt, he immediately nodded to the forensic doctor.

"Immediately check the kitchen and bathroom drainage pipes."

Forensic pathologist Yan Min immediately took her tools and bent down to examine the area, spraying bloodstain reaction reagent onto the pipe joints and corners of the kitchen sink and bathroom floor drain one by one.

Everyone in the house, the hundreds of thousands of viewers in the live stream, and the neighbors watching all held their breath and dared not breathe.

Just a moment later, Yan Min suddenly spoke up, her voice filled with a firm and serious tone: "Captain Chen! We've found something!"

Everyone looked up instantly, their hearts pounding.

Yan Min pointed to the dark corner of the pipe, where the reagents glowed with a faint but clear fluorescent reaction in the hidden corner, which was extremely dazzling.

"Bloodstains were detected deep inside the sewer pipe! A small amount of fine, unidentified soft tissue remained at the bend in the pipe, which was difficult to detect with the naked eye. It has all been extracted, sealed, and taken back to the laboratory for re-examination."

Based on my years of experience in autopsies, Yan Min added with a somber expression: "Judging from the initial tissue morphology, it is most likely human flesh and skin tissue. The final result only needs to wait for the laboratory report to confirm."

The truth has been completely revealed.

Chen Wei's eyes instantly sharpened and hardened, no longer showing the slightest relaxation. He immediately ordered, "Contact the property management of the residential complex, find out the external sewage outlet of this household's drainpipe, and immediately organize a retrieval and evidence collection!"

"Received!" He Ming replied, then turned and quickly went downstairs to meet with the property management.

The atmosphere inside the room completely reversed.

Zhang Tong, who had been calm and smug, suddenly stiffened, his limbs turned ice-cold, and all the feigned innocence, grievance, and composure on his face shattered instantly, leaving only a chilling panic and fear in his eyes.

The two elderly people standing nearby were completely stunned when they heard the forensic doctor's conclusion.

The phone, which was tightly gripped in his hand, could no longer be held and fell heavily to the ground with a "thud." The live stream screen shook slightly, but it still clearly transmitted all the movements inside the room.

The two elderly people trembled all over, their faces ashen, and they turned incredulously to look at their son-in-law, whom they had lived with day and night for twenty years and who was filial and considerate.

His lips trembled incessantly, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was filled with despair and confusion.

How could this be...?

They are gentle, kind, considerate, and family-oriented good sons-in-law.

They firmly believe in honest people who would never hurt anyone.

Is it really hiding a heinous crime of murder?!

The live stream exploded, with comments flooding the screen and filling it completely.

[My God! We've actually found the evidence! The blood hidden in the pipes is outrageous!]

[A month was spent cleaning the floor, but the hidden corner of the drainpipe was overlooked – a small oversight despite meticulous planning!]

[This is terrifying! The man who slept with his wife killed her, then pretended to be a dutiful son, taking care of his in-laws for a whole month!]

[The anchor is amazing! Sky Eye's investigation confirms the real culprit!]

Chen Wei, his face solemn, stepped forward, his cold gaze locking onto the tense Zhang Tong. He spoke in a deep voice, "Key leads have been found at the scene. We need your cooperation in the investigation. Zhang Tong, come with us to the police station immediately for questioning!"

This murder case, which had been concealed for a whole month, has finally revealed its cruelest and coldest truth in front of the entire internet.

The moment the irrefutable evidence pressed down on him, Zhang Tong's mental defenses, which had been taut for a month, completely collapsed.

He could no longer maintain his facade of being gentle, honest, affectionate, and family-oriented. The last shred of reason in his eyes shattered, and his face became ferocious and crazed.

He bent down abruptly, grabbed the phone that had fallen to the ground, stared intently at Shen Jingshu on the other side of the screen, his face contorted, and roared fiercely:

"You nosy woman!!"

"I did it flawlessly! For a whole month! The scene was spotless! The police investigated countless times, but couldn't find a single clue!"

"I fooled everyone! Except you! How dare you see through everything I did just by fortune-telling?!"

The furious roar echoed throughout the room, making everyone present's eardrums vibrate.

The old woman beside him completely broke down. Decades of trust and kinship instantly turned into sharp, piercing blades that tore through her heart and lungs. She lunged forward like a madwoman, clutching Zhang Tong's clothes tightly, tears streaming down her face, her body trembling violently, and she screamed in a hoarse, broken voice, "What are you doing?"

"Why! Zhang Tong, tell me why!!"

"What did my daughter ever do to you?! You were married for over twenty years, spent half your lives together, had no grudges against each other, what conflicts couldn't you resolve peacefully? Why did you have to be so cruel as to kill her?!"

Faced with the old man's heart-wrenching questioning, Zhang Tong showed no remorse or regret whatsoever. Instead, he let out a maniacal and chilling laugh, a laugh that was both jarring and terrifying.

Why?

"Because she's so annoying!"

His eyes were bloodshot, and his tone was filled with utter disgust and malice: "Twenty years! Day after day, it's just the same old mundane routine, her constant nagging and fussing, like a fly buzzing in my ear all day long! I'm so tired of this monotonous, predictable life!"

"I don't want to endure this anymore, I just want her to disappear forever!"

The cold and cruel words, each one piercing to the heart, sent chills down the spines of the police officers present, the neighbors watching, and the entire online audience.

Zhang Tong has gone mad, revealing his heinous crimes without reservation, a morbid pleasure surging in his eyes:

"You don't know, do you? When she was dying, her face was full of terror, staring at me intently, unable to believe that her husband of twenty years would lay a hand on her!"

"I took the knife and stabbed her again and again, the ground was covered in her blood! She reached out and desperately begged me for help, crying and pleading with me to let her go..."

He scoffed, his cold-bloodedness chilling: "How could I possibly be soft-hearted? I want her dead! Completely free, and completely free for myself!"

The two elderly people's legs went weak, and they staggered back half a step, their faces ashen, almost fainting on the spot. Half a lifetime of love was a facade, more than twenty years of affection was all a pretense, and the son-in-law they cherished and trusted was actually a demon who harmed their daughter.

"My daughter... my Xiaomei... where is her body?!" The old man's voice was hoarse as he used his last bit of strength to ask, "Where did you hide her body?!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Tong's sinister smile returned, his tone flippant yet cruel, as if he were recounting a trivial matter:

"The corpse? I disposed of it long ago."

"I cut her into countless small pieces and took them out of the house piece by piece to discard. Every day when I went out to buy groceries or take a walk, I would take some with me."

"Some were thrown into the community's small ditch, some into the public toilet, and others flushed down the sewer pipes. The wind and water, wild animals gnawing on them, have long since scattered them completely, leaving not even a trace of bones!"

"No one can find her, no one can discover my crime! I imitated her tone, sending you messages every day from her phone to let you know I was safe, deceiving you for a whole month! Making everyone think she was just feeling down and had run away from home to clear her head!"

His insane confession completely confirmed all his crimes.

The entire room fell silent.
