Section 2

That is why it is strange

The driver is taking me home, as I have a flight to Hangzhou this afternoon

Why did you all start arguing?

He did not conceal anything and explained everything very clearly. The forensic expert has signed off; the fingerprints on the fruit knife belong to him, and there are no footprints of a third party in the house. This is truly a simple case with no intrigue at all. The prosecution materials have been prepared, and we are just waiting for the court hearing

What about the others

Zhong Jing's thinking seems to be lagging behind, "Shouldn't the fruit knife be placed in the kitchen after being cut? Isn't fruit generally pierced with toothpicks?"

Daughter? Oh, she is pregnant and has difficulty moving. I have entrusted this matter to Lawyer Chang

Zhong Jingding stared fixedly at Qi Boyuan, her tone flat as if recounting a production plan that was about to be executed, yet she felt a chill run down her spine

"Where do you feel unwell?" Zhong Jin furrowed her brows, sensing that the review would not go smoothly. Qi Boyuan was either truly an inexperienced scholar, lacking in all areas except for his expertise, or he was someone with a cunning mind, skillfully evading the topic and attempting to divert her attention.

Mu Tao was reviewing her interrogation records, and the more she looked, the tighter her brows furrowed. "What does he have on his computer?"

Did she not dodge when you stabbed at her

After Qi Boyuan killed his wife, he packed his luggage and encountered a neighbor in the elevator, exchanging greetings. When getting into the car, he even apologized to the driver for making him wait. His behavior and demeanor were so normal that they could not be more ordinary

In the cold wind, the faint scent of spring drifts in, announcing that the long wait is about to come to an end. The clouds in the sky gather into your smile, telling me that happiness is on its way

This lawyer Chang is truly diligent, Zhong Jinxin scoffed inwardly as she closed the case file, waiting for Qi Boyuan to continue his performance. Unexpectedly, Qi Boyuan took a long detour but managed to connect back to her statement. "On the 24th, I was in a meeting at the company"

Qi Boyuan was still wearing the same outfit from Hangzhou, having not shaved for two days, appearing somewhat haggard, yet his spirits were relatively good. When Zhong Jing greeted him, he smiled and nodded.

Zhong Jing shook his head

"He won't have any psychological issues, will he?" she asked Mu Tao

Qi Boyuan is almost an insulated entity from rumors. Although he is of considerable age, he can still be described with the term "handsome and refined." Coupled with his high social status, it is quite normal for him to be favored by young women. In the company, he is gentle and kind, earning great respect from others. In the eyes of his neighbors, he is courteous and regarded as a good father and a good husband

Mu Tao pointed to a line in the record, "There are doubts about his testimony; it needs to be carefully examined. He was eating fruit while his wife was looking at the computer, and it seems that this triggered his murderous intent. Go find Captain Jing and have him accompany you to Qi Boyuan's house to check the computer, and bring along a professional who understands computers."

The heartbeat naturally quickens, the veins on the forehead protrude one by one, and Zhong Jin feels a bit excited yet somewhat nervous. "Is your partner at home?"

Zhong Jingzhi was sweating profusely; she had watched this record many times but had never noticed this point

Love, either to be together or to forget each other

Zhong Jing slowed his breathing, "Was the fruit cut in the study?"

The first review of Qi Boyuan was scheduled for 9:00 in the morning. The sunlight was pleasant, and through the iron bars, one could quietly observe the faintly emerging tender green among the treetops. Accompanying her was a clerk, a boy with a comical appearance and a well-proportioned face, his eyes and brows smiling. He took a deep breath and cheerfully said, "Zhong Jian, this is the scent of spring"

Qi Boyuan seemed to have fallen into deep thought. After a while, he said: "It seems there isn't. I went to the study to print the speech materials, and she brought me some sliced fruit into the study."

"Do you... love your wife?" she asked a question unrelated to the case

Zhong Jinzhen envies Hua Bei's forgetfulness

Jing Tianyi inquired with the driver about the situation. Qi Boyuan had lunch at the company and left at around 12:00. The driver waited downstairs for nearly an hour before Qi Boyuan came down.

The meeting is scheduled from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM, regarding the report on the situations that have arisen during the operation of the newly launched high-speed trains. What happens after the meeting?" Zhong Jin cautiously slowed her speech, becoming less aggressive, as she did not wish to provoke Qi Boyuan's displeasure

Qi Boyuan first expressed his grievances, complaining that the bed was too hard, the blanket was not very clean, the noise from his roommates was too loud, and the odor in the bathroom was too strong, all of which affected his sleep

The facts are laid bare, and all questions can only await Qi Boyuan's explanation

"Engineer Qi, she did not directly call his name, 'on February 24th..."

However, Zhong Jin felt that something was amiss; everything seemed too smooth to be right. Qi Boyuan was not a professional assassin and should not be displaying such calmness.

Zhong Jing gently stroked the files on the table, pondering how to begin his inquiry. This case occurred at noon on February 24, when Qi Boyuan killed his wife with a fruit knife in his study. There were no signs of struggle or combat at the scene. The fruit knife pierced through a sweater and an undershirt, penetrating the heart area with a single thrust, resulting in the immediate death of Qi Boyuan's wife. That single thrust, with such force and precision, seemed as if it had been practiced numerous times. This was the aspect that puzzled Jing Tianyi and Mu Tao the most; in Jing Tianyi's words, Qi Boyuan was merely a frail scholar, lacking both the strength and the courage to commit such an act.

Yes! Qi Boyuan responded quickly

Qi Boyuan shook his head, "We have been married for twenty years and have never had a dispute"

So, is there anything special happening

Ah! Zhong Jin widened her eyes, "Did you kill your wife?" Deep down in her heart, she sometimes hoped that Qi Boyuan would deny it, believing that there was actually more to this case than met the eye

The driver is waiting downstairs, and I am a bit anxious. She used a fruit knife to poke a piece of apple and handed it to me

Qibo Yuan replied: "The person I love is in my heart, but I am loyal to marriage."

Has Captain Jing clarified everything that follows one by one

The clerk almost burst out laughing. If the detention center were like a hotel, who wouldn't want to come?

Qi Boyuan did not deny it. He took the fruit knife, ate the apple, and then turned the knife back to stab his wife

Haha, young lady, you don't often do housework, do you? Of course, the fruit is cut in the kitchen. Qi Boyuan laughed, conveying a sense of an elder's fondness for a younger person.

Uh? Zhong Jin thought for a moment, "He said it's a speech material."

The human heart is a deep ocean.

Did you not inform your daughter?

"The scarf you gave me was confiscated by the officer, and I wonder if it can be returned to me." Qi Boyuan interrupted her, "I have stopped taking my medication for several days, and I feel very unwell"

As people age, various functions will decline, including some commonly used medications. I mentioned this to Lawyer Chang, and he said he would deliver them to me today.

Zhong Jing smiled sympathetically; in fact, everyone who enters has complaints, but no one dares to voice them. She opened the case file, her gaze landing on the photographs taken at the crime scene. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then slowly opened them.

Love that cannot be held onto and cannot be forgotten is the most bitter.

Have you eaten

Zhong Jin no longer focuses on this issue and continues to ask, "What's next?"

She was looking at the computer and did not pay attention

I hope the happiness that belongs to her is already on its way, Zhong Jin lightly smiled: "Let’s go in!"

Qi Boyuan raised an eyebrow, "Not everyone adheres to conventions"
