Chapter 100 - 100 Interrogation
100 Interrogation
“My wife is very beautiful. How can she be that monster?!” Xiao Ming couldn’t help but tremble at the thought of the ugly and terrifying corpse yesterday.
“So, you should calm down and find your wife’s murderer as soon as possible.” Although Feng Jing wanted to wait for Xiao Ming to calm down before continuing the interrogation, this case was really complicated. In order to save the next victim, Feng Jing had to get clues from Xiao Ming as soon as possible.
“But how could anyone do such a thing?” Xiao Ming still found it difficult to accept reality. When he thought of his wife’s swollen and ugly face, he felt so pained that he couldn’t control himself.
“So, do you think there’s a lunatic around who can do such a thing?” Feng Jing stared at Xiao Ming’s face. In fact, Xiao Ming was still very suspicious in his heart, but the grief this man revealed at this moment was too real. No one could associate him with the murderer.
Feng Jing’s tone was calm, and Xiao Ming calmed down a little. He searched his mind carefully. After a pause, Xiao Ming shook his head gently. “I’m sorry, Officer. I really can’t think of anyone like that.”
Xiao Ming took a sip of water and sighed softly at Feng Jing. “My wife is a very gentle person. It’s not possible for her to make enemies.”
“What about you?” Feng Jing didn’t give Xiao Ming time to think. He continued, “You senior management of a business. You should have many competitors at work, right? Have you made enemies with anyone?”
Xiao Ming was silent for a moment, his brows furrowing slightly. He shook his head and said, “I don’t think so. Even a work rival shouldn’t have such a deep hatred. How could such a thing happen?”
“The surveillance video the police found at your house was damaged. Do you know why?” Feng Jing glanced at the police officer behind him, indicating that he should record Xiao Ming’s response.
“I’m not too sure. I haven’t been back at the villa for a long time. Ever since my wife disappeared, I’ve always gone to my in-laws’ house. The two of them are old. They can’t accept their daughter’s disappearance. I’m also worried about them.”
Xiao Ming didn’t know how to face his in-laws when he thought of his wife’s accident. “Officer, do my in-laws know about this now?”
Feng Jing shook his head. “Not for the time being, but this case is already a criminal case. It’s only a matter of time before they find out.”
“Sigh, there’s nothing I can do. Why did I get into such a thing…” Xiao Ming lowered his head and tears slowly fell from the corners of his eyes. He gradually began to accept reality.
“Did you want to feed the dogs when you got home yesterday?” Feng Jing looked at the police officer’s records on the complainant and interrogated Xiao Ming.
“Yes, in the past, this was all done by the nanny. Yesterday, she took leave as something had come up in her home. I finished work early, so I wanted to go home to take a look at Bones.”
Worried that Feng Jing wouldn’t understand, Xiao Ming added, “Bones is my pet dog. It’s a Border Collie. My wife named it, hoping that it has bones to eat for the rest of its life.”
Xiao Ming began to sob softly again. The officer opposite couldn’t stand it anymore. He took a few pieces of tissue and handed them to him.
“Thank you.” Xiao Ming wiped his tears and explained to Fengjing apologetically, “I’m sorry, Officer. It’s not that I don’t want to cooperate. I really can’t control my emotions. My wife and I have a good relationship. We were childhood sweethearts. Our families were family friends to begin with. Our marriage was well blessed by many people.”
Feng Jing had already understood many of the things Xiao Ming said. Before interrogating him, Feng Jing was already familiar with his family relationship with Song Yi and had a lot of personal information.
“I heard that you and your wife were high school classmates?” Feng Jing asked.
A wry smile appeared on Xiao Ming’s lips, as if he was thinking of the good memories of the past. Xiao Ming’s eyes lit up. “Yes, my wife was the school belle in high school. Many people liked her, but she only had a crush on me.”
In Xiao Ming’s description, he and Song Yi were simply a happily married couple, but he still had to verify the authenticity of these descriptions with others.
“Then why didn’t you get together immediately after graduation? Instead, you slowly reconnected after going to university.” Feng Jing looked at the information in his hand and asked Xiao Ming in a low voice, “Did you have any conflicts?”
