Chapter 381: Chapter 229: Contradiction in the Time of Disappearance! (Part 2)

”We can’t have another unresolved case in Jiangcheng.”

Mr. Ma spoke with a determined tone, his eyes revealing an undeniable resolve.

”Mr. Ma, rest assured.”

”We will make the case airtight.”

Mr. Qin quickly voiced his determination, standing straight with a resolute glimmer in his eyes.

As the elevator doors slowly closed, Mr. Qin picked up his phone again and dialed Li Jian:

”Hello, Mr. Li.”

”I just heard from Lin that you’ve brought Wang Shantao in for questioning again?”

Mr. Qin tightly gripped his phone, his footsteps pacing back and forth.

Li Jian took out his phone and stepped out of the interrogation room.

”Yes, we went to Wang Shantao’s house tonight and found some suspicious things.”

Li Jian spoke while gently tapping the back of his phone, his eyes reflecting deep thought.

”Oh? What’s suspicious?”

Mr. Qin’s heart skipped a beat, as he had also visited Wang Jianghe’s home today.

At that time, he had surveyed the scene, but aside from the typical country house smell, he hadn’t noticed anything unusual.

Mr. Qin’s heart slightly raced, a hint of tension flitting through his eyes.

Li Jian calmly continued, ”While surveying the deceased’s home, Jiang An discovered that the wooden bed in the bedroom showed signs of being moved.”

”The wooden bed showed signs of being moved?”

Mr. Qin was taken aback, instantly recalling the appearance of the wooden bed in the bedroom.

At that time, he hadn’t noticed any movement of the bed, having merely checked its position without feeling anything amiss.

Mr. Qin slightly squinted, delving into memories, trying to reconstruct the scene in his mind.

Before he could figure it out, Li Jian continued, ”Not only that, but we also found two insurance contracts in the bedroom drawer, both naming Wang Jianghe as the insured.”

Upon hearing this, Mr. Qin’s heart skipped a beat.

As a seasoned detective with over a decade of experience, he knew that any abnormality in a case meant significant trouble was brewing.

Mr. Qin’s expression slightly changed, his gaze turning somber.

After a brief silence, Mr. Qin solemnly said, ”Considering this, the woman does seem quite suspicious.”

Mr. Qin spoke with firm conviction, his eyes showing certainty.

Li Jian replied with determination, ”We are now bringing Wang Shantao back for re-interrogation.”

”The scene has been handed over to Jiang An for survey.”

”I believe with both fronts advancing tonight, we’ll surely yield great results.”

Li Jian’s eyes sparkled with confidence, his fists slightly clenched, as if he already saw the dawn of solving the case.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Qin’s face slightly flushed, feeling somewhat embarrassed, he said, ”Mr. Li, sorry for the oversight in the early stages of this investigation.”

Mr. Qin slightly lowered his head, his eyes showing a trace of regret, scratching his head in frustration.

Li Jian chuckled, reassuring him, ”Mr. Qin, you’ve been really proactive today, identifying the deceased in such a short time, which is commendable.”

”You don’t need to blame yourself too much, sometimes cases are solved like that, as in spotting the bed movement traces, it was Jiang An’s sharp eyes.”

Mr. Qin was silent for a moment before speaking up:

”Mr. Li, do you need any help in the interrogation room here?”

Li Jian glanced at Wang Shantao in the interrogation room, responding, ”You’ve interrogated in the early stages, so I don’t think it’s necessary.”

”If you don’t have other urgent matters, why not go to Wang Jianghe’s home and assist Jiang An in surveying the scene?”

”No problem, Mr. Li, I’ll head over right away.”

Mr. Qin agreed heartily, hung up the phone, grabbed his car keys, and hastily started the car, speeding towards Wang Jianghe’s home.

Meanwhile, Captain Li Jian re-entered the interrogation room.

He stared sharply at her, opening: ”How does it feel to be back here?”

Wang Shantao curled her lips into a sneer.

”What new feeling could I possibly have?”

”You are framing me, accusing a virtuous woman unjustly.”

With this, she slightly lifted her head, her face full of indignation.

”So, do officers solve cases through deception and trickery?”

”I am the victim’s family, eagerly hoping you find the culprit soon.”

”Now, unexpectedly, you’ve made me out as the culprit.”

Captain Li Jian snorted coldly.

”You hope for the murderer to be found?”

”I think you’re eager to wrap up Wang Jianghe’s matters quickly.”

Wang Shantao seemed as if struck at the heart, suddenly frozen there.

Her eyes fixed on Li Jian for a long time before regaining her composure.

”As his wife, taking his remains back, what’s wrong with that?”

”Isn’t it the proper thing to do?”

Wang Shantao’s eyes revealed panic, her voice slightly trembling.

She unconsciously tightened her grip on the interrogation chair’s armrests.

”Claiming the bones is fine, it makes sense, but you were too impatient.”

”If you hadn’t been so hasty during today’s interrogation, you might have slipped through the net.”

Li Jian mercilessly exposed her, his gaze filled with confidence and certainty.

Then, Li Jian shifted his tone and sternly asked, ”Think carefully again.”

”On the 11th of this month, the day Wang Jianghe disappeared, what exactly happened?”

Li Jian leaned slightly forward, his gaze focused on Wang Shantao, trying to catch any clues from her eyes.

Wang Shantao was silent for a moment and then said, ”I already told the other officer.”

”On the morning of the 11th, he said he was going out after breakfast. I don’t know exactly where.”

”He’s not in good health, so it’s normal for him to go for a walk to relax.”

”Besides, I have a pile of things to do at home, how can I follow him around all day like a child.”

Wang Shantao’s eyes seemed a bit distracted, her voice calm, as if struggling to recall or deliberately hiding something.

”Then when did you report it to the police?”

Li Jian’s eyes were sharp, staring intently into Wang Shantao’s eyes, not missing any change in expression.

”That evening, I made a lot of calls, but no one answered, I felt something was wrong.”

”In the end, I reported it to the police.”

”Moreover, I went out with others to look for him, but just couldn’t find him.”

At that moment, there was a gentle knock on the door of the interrogation room.

Li Jian turned his head to look.

It was Mr. Fu from the criminal investigation team.

Mr. Fu held a stack of documents and signaled to him with his eyes.

Subsequently, Li Jian walked out of the interrogation room.

Mr. Fu handed over a report, saying in a low voice, ”Mr. Li, these are the hospital visit records of Wang Jianghe compiled by our team.”

”Please take a look.”

Mr. Fu’s eyes showed fatigue, but mostly anticipation.

He hoped these documents could bring a breakthrough in the case.

Li Jian took the medical records and glanced at them.

Suddenly, his eyes fixed on the outpatient record of the 10th.

Behind it was completely blank, with no information at all.

He couldn’t help but frown and ask, ”What? He didn’t go for treatment on the 10th?”

Li Jian’s brows were tightly furrowed, his gaze filled with confusion.

He gently tapped on the medical record, trying to awaken his memory.

Mr. Fu nodded lightly, ”We went to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital to get the medical records and found that Wang Jianghe indeed registered for a hepatobiliary clinic appointment on the 10th.”

”However, we checked the backend information, and this outpatient number wasn’t scanned, likely indicating he didn’t go for the consultation.”

Hearing this, Li Jian was shocked.

The missing person’s report for Wang Jianghe was on the 11th.

But why didn’t he go for treatment on the 10th?

Was his time of death on the 10th or the 11th?

Li Jian’s eyes flashed with surprise, his mind quickly sorting through various possibilities.

He stood there, pondering for two seconds, suddenly thinking of a key question, and hurriedly asked, ”Usually, who accompanies him to the hospital for consultations?”

Mr. Fu immediately answered, ”We spoke with the doctors at the hepatobiliary clinic.”

”They said Wang Jianghe was quite special, young as he was, suffering from liver cancer.”

”Those doctors were quite familiar with him; most of the time, it was Wang Shantao who accompanied him.”

”Oh, Wang Shantao accompanies him...”

Li Jian seemed deep in thought, immediately asking again, ”During the entire consultation process, was there anything unusual?”

Mr. Fu recalled the doctors’ words, saying, ”According to the doctors, Wang Shantao wasn’t very proactive during the treatment, and she wasn’t keen on using some imported medicines.”

”She said the family was struggling, with the elderly to care for above and children below.”

”Considering the patient didn’t have long to live, the doctors tried to minimize the treatment costs.”

After hearing this, Li Jian became more convinced of his suspicions.

This Wang Shantao definitely has issues.

Not only was she passive in her husband’s treatment, but she’s also hiding a lot.

He slightly clenched his fist, as if he had found the case’s crucial breakthrough.

After a long while, he turned to Mr. Fu and said, ”Tomorrow, I’ll have to trouble you again to retrieve surveillance information from before the 10th at Phoenix Mountain.”

”Ah? Didn’t we retrieve surveillance information for the 11th today as requested?”

”Why suddenly retrieve data from before the 10th?”

”Wasn’t his disappearance on the 11th?”

Mr. Fu was puzzled, his eyes filled with confusion.

Li Jian handed over the medical records, his expression serious, saying word by word, ”When we received the missing person report, Wang Jianghe might have already been harmed.”
