Chapter 810 After many twists and turns, the murderer was the person next to you in bed.
"Action!" Qin Chuan decisively gave the order. The police rushed forward and broke down the villa's door. Li Mei panicked and fled inside, trying to find hiding places. But the police had already surrounded the villa and quickly cornered her in a room.
"Li Mei, you have nowhere to run. Surrender now!" Qin Chuan shouted. Li Mei leaned against the wall, her eyes filled with despair and fear, but she was still unwilling to be captured and made a last-ditch effort: "Why are you arresting me? I didn't do anything!"
Ignoring Li Mei's attempts to deny her claims, the police quickly took her into custody. Li Mei was then taken to the police station, where she faced a rigorous interrogation.
Inside the interrogation room, the lights were a stark white, and the atmosphere was oppressively suffocating. Li Mei sat in the interrogation chair, her hands cuffed to the table. Her eyes darted around, avoiding direct eye contact with the interrogators. Qin Chuan sat opposite her, his gaze piercing, fixed intently on her: "Li Mei, Sun Ming has confessed everything. Don't put up any more futile resistance."
After being escorted back to the police station, Li Mei sat in the interrogation room with her hands cuffed to the table. Her eyes showed no fear, but rather a stubbornness and resentment. She knew that if she confessed, she would face the merciless punishment of the law, so she decided to fight to the bitter end.
“Li Mei, we have sufficient evidence that you conspired with Sun Ming to murder Wang Qiang. You had better confess honestly.” The presiding detective, Xiao Zhang, had a serious expression and stared intently into Li Mei’s eyes, trying to find a flaw in her expression.
Li Mei sneered and said disdainfully, "Evidence? What evidence? Don't try to frame me. Wang Qiang and I have been married for many years. How could I possibly harm him? You must have made a mistake." Her tone was firm, and her answer was watertight, as if she had already prepared her response.
The atmosphere in the interrogation room was unusually oppressive; every question and answer felt like a silent war. Xiao Zhang pulled out a stack of documents—call logs between Li Mei and Sun Ming, financial transaction details, and hotel booking records—and slammed them heavily on the table: "How do you explain all this? Before and after the incident, you and Sun Ming were in frequent contact, and there were numerous financial transactions. Can you honestly say there weren't any secrets between you?"
Li Mei's eyes flickered for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure: "Sun Ming and I are just ordinary friends. It's normal for us to have occasional financial dealings. As for the call records, they don't prove anything. You're just making wild guesses and framing me." Her voice remained firm, and her expression showed no sign of wavering, as if this evidence posed no threat to her whatsoever.
The interrogation had reached a stalemate; Li Mei remained tight-lipped. Xiao Zhang glanced at Qin Chuan sitting beside him, his eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and anxiety. Qin Chuan nodded slightly, signaling Xiao Zhang to pause the interrogation; he needed to reorganize his thoughts and find a breakthrough.
After some discussion, the police decided to start by examining Li Mei's psychological weaknesses. They learned that Li Mei cared most about her child, so they decided to use this as a starting point to conduct another interrogation.
“Li Mei, if you don’t think about yourself, you should at least think about your child.” Qin Chuan’s voice was deep and powerful, breaking the silence in the interrogation room. “If he knew that his mother was a murderer, how would he face the world? His life would be completely changed because of what you did.”
Upon hearing the word "child," Li Mei's body trembled slightly, and a hint of pain and struggle flashed in her eyes, but she still gritted her teeth and remained silent.
"Do you think you can escape legal punishment by refusing to admit it?" Qin Chuan continued, "The evidence is conclusive. Whether you admit it or not, you can't escape. Rather than letting your child suffer when he finds out the truth later, it's better to confess now, try to get a lighter sentence, and return to his side sooner."
Li Mei's lips trembled slightly. She lowered her head, tears welling up in her eyes, but she still forced herself not to cry out.
Seeing that Li Mei's emotions were fluctuating, Qin Chuan gave Xiao Zhang a wink. Xiao Zhang immediately produced a new piece of evidence, which was Sun Ming's detailed confession, clearly recording every detail of their conspiracy.
“Li Mei, Sun Ming has confessed everything.” Xiao Zhang handed the statement to Li Mei. “Take a look. Now you have nothing left to hide.”
Li Mei's hands trembled as she took the confession. Her eyes quickly scanned each line, her expression gradually turning to terror and despair. As she read on, her breathing became rapid, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Finally, Li Mei could no longer bear the pressure. Her psychological defenses completely collapsed, and she burst into tears: "It was me, I did it all... I'm sorry to my child, I'm sorry to Wang Qiang..." Her cries echoed in the interrogation room, filled with regret and pain.
Through Li Mei's tearful account, the entire crime gradually came to light. It turned out that Li Mei and Wang Qiang's marriage had long been a sham. Wang Qiang was solely focused on his business, neglecting his family, and the conflicts between them deepened. Li Mei met Sun Ming by chance, and the two quickly entered into an illicit relationship.
As their relationship deepened, Li Mei's greed grew stronger. Knowing that Wang Qiang's business was very successful and that he owned a considerable fortune, she conspired with Sun Ming to kill Wang Qiang and seize his wealth.
They meticulously planned the entire murder. Li Mei, taking advantage of her relationship with Wang Qiang, secretly added sleeping pills to his daily drinks, causing him to fall into a coma without warning. Then, following the plan, Sun Ming killed Wang Qiang with a pre-prepared weapon after he was incapacitated.
To cover up their crimes, they coerced and bribed Zhao Gang to take the blame for them. Zhao Gang was initially unwilling, but Li Mei and Sun Ming threatened the lives of his family members, leaving Zhao Gang with no choice but to comply.
Throughout the entire process, Li Mei displayed extreme composure and cruelty. She not only personally participated in the planning and execution but also actively handled various follow-up matters afterward, attempting to cover up her crimes completely.
“I was completely out of my mind at the time, blinded by money and desire,” Li Mei sobbed. “I thought I could escape legal punishment, but I never expected you to find out. I really regret it now, I’m so sorry to everyone…”
Qin Chuan looked at Li Mei, who was weeping bitterly, and felt a mix of emotions. He knew that behind every crime lay complex human and social factors. Although this case had been solved, it left much for everyone to ponder.
With Li Mei's complete confession, this perplexing murder case finally came to a close.
